Chapter 805: Naked Threats, Leniency for Confession and Severity for Resistance

Bang!

A glass straw was dropped into the drink made from rainbow fruit. Aaron took a big sip. The multi-layered taste made him smile with satisfaction.

Opposite him, Miles and Skye sat stiffly on the sofa, looking as worried as prisoners awaiting trial.

After more than ten minutes, the door opened again and Coulson walked in with other members of the team.

Seeing Skye sitting with Miles, they seemed to understand something and their mood became mixed.

"Everyone." Aaron looked at them sympathetically, "I know you don't want to believe this painful truth, but facts speak louder than words."

"Oh!" Coulson sighed deeply, then ordered Fitz and Simmons to check their computer equipment, while he himself casually looked through other records.

"I know it looks..."

Skye was halfway through her words when Coulson interrupted her by holding up a finger, "How long have you been in touch?"

"I contacted him once the day I joined to tell him I was fine, and again earlier today."

"You tipped off the suspect?"

“It’s not what you think,” Skye explained, “Miles and I…we both met in bad situations.

No, he is worse, I am very bad.

But we've always taken care of each other, so I gave him a heads up, not because we're accomplices, but because we're... friends.

I am truly sorry. ”

"Got it." Coulson said calmly, "If it's not you, then who is Mr. Leyden working with?"

"No one. He is an idealist. He believes in freedom of information."

puff!

Aaron couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of colorful juice, "Hahaha! What did I hear? There are still idealists these days?"

"This information cost a man his freedom, and you've destroyed our chance to make amends," Coulson said.

"No, I'm here to find out how much Miles knows about Chen."

"and then?"

"Knowing nothing, knowing nothing, Miles is not a threat."

"It depends on the situation."

"Really, I was going to find all the clues to help you, but I just felt... I couldn't tell you everything."

“I understand, but it’s not all in vain for us.

By the way, this 'we' does not include you."

Skye lowered his head guiltily, speechless.

"Excuse me." Aaron looked at Miles, "Who did you give the confidential information to?"

“That’s information, and it’s not controlled by anybody.”

"That's a nice way of talking, but I'm not in the mood to joke with you because my name is on that list.

Chen Haoran, who is on the list, has been captured by an unknown force. I don't know when it will be my turn." Aaron pretended to be worried, and then changed the subject, "There is one thing I hope you understand. I am different from these people from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Since this matter poses a threat to me, I have to find a way to eliminate this threat, so... I don't mind using any means to make you talk."

Miles' heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"

"Literally." Aaron said lightly, "Do you have anything that matters to you? For example, wealth, a lover, technical ability, etc.?"

Gulu!

Miles swallowed, "What do you want to do?"

"I will destroy these things one by one, but don't worry, I will definitely take your life last."

"Don't scare him." Coulson said speechlessly, "Although he is indeed a bastard, his crime does not deserve the death penalty, and SHIELD will not allow you to kill people casually."

Aaron smiled and shrugged, "You know me. I have always been a law-abiding citizen. How could I do that?

Freezing accounts is the job of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I won't interfere. But if someone like him doesn't cooperate, he will definitely go to jail, right?"

"That's true."

Snapped!

Aaron clapped his hands, "That's it.

You also know that I make a living in Hell's Kitchen and have a little friendship with Kingpin. As long as I am willing to pay a little price, he should not mind arranging someone to do something in the prison.

Hackers make a living with their hands. If they accidentally break a few fingers in a fight..."

Damn it!

Miles stood up in panic, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he saw Aaron talking so eloquently.

"This... your SHIELD is a formal and legal organization, right?"

"Of course." Coulson nodded, then changed the subject, "But Gaius is a senior advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., and can only be considered half a S.H.I.E.L.D. member.

He also has a good relationship with the Avengers, and once went to Asgard with Thor and was summoned by the God King Odin. "

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile." Aaron waved his hand pretending to be displeased, then showed Miles a kind smile, "Don't worry, I'm really not a bad person, what I said just now was just a joke.

I will never contact those disgusting gangs and cripple your hands in prison.

I will not contact those shady killers to kill you after you are released from prison. You will definitely believe me, right?"

Miles nodded blankly, but his heart had sunk to the bottom.

A threat, a naked threat, but...

The situation is stronger than the person! He is just an ordinary person, and he has no other choice but to give in.

"I, I said.

If you have any questions, I will definitely cooperate."

"Your attitude is great!" Aaron patted his shoulder with relief, "But don't worry."

Miles immediately became anxious, "I will cooperate, what else do you want from me?"

Aaron shook his head towards Skye and said meaningfully, "You have some time to think about it. Give us an answer after you get on the plane."

“Gather all the evidence and control the prisoner.

We have got what we were looking for here and can go to Hong Kong."

May escorted Miles towards the door, Fitz and Simmons packed up their equipment and documents, and Ward hesitated for a moment before walking towards Skye.

“I’m so sorry, Ward.

It’s not what you think.”

"Hands out."

Skye pursed her lips and raised her hands.

Ward took out the handcuffs and handcuffed her hands. "Stand up."

Skye was very cooperative and followed Ward silently.

......

"What is this place that's so big, Lena?" Chen Haoran observed the laboratory environment curiously, then looked at the people wearing white protective suits, "Who are these people?"

"They will meet any of your needs." said Lena, the girl in the flowery dress, and then motioned for him to look at the screen, which displayed the activity levels of cells and genes in a very vivid and vivid way.

"We are monitoring your vital signs while observing your abilities. The reason why this place is so big is because we need space." Reina explained patiently, and then looked at an experimenter who was using a syringe to draw a small bottle of red solution. "This serum can strengthen the cytoskeleton of every cell in your body.

Just one dose and you’ll feel incredible until it wears off.”

Chen Haoran just smiled excitedly when he was chilled to the core by the word "invalid". "Will it be invalid?"

"Yes, but the results obtained on ordinary experimental subjects are very good, and I am looking forward to the effects you will produce."

At this time, the experimenter came up to Chen Haoran with the injection. He smiled and asked, "What do you think of the name Blazing Flame Man?"

The experimenter ignored it and injected the serum into his body.

"Breathe," Reina reminded.

Chen Haoran took a deep breath and a carefree smile appeared on his face. Endless power seemed to surge out of his body.

"Feel it? Let's see what you can do!"

Chen Haoran opened his right hand, and a ball of fierce flame swirled on his palm, and the blazing flames illuminated the surroundings.

He looked at the flame in his palm excitedly. Before, he could only summon a flame the size of a fist with all his strength. At most, he could only perform magic tricks and make a little money.

But now he can easily create flames the size of a basketball, with higher temperatures and at least dozens of times more power.

The Blazing Man, this name will surely be known throughout the world, and he will become a big star admired by everyone.

Chen Haoran threw the fireball with great excitement, easily blasting a big hole in the wall.

"I'm sorry." Chen Haoran looked at the panicked expression of the experimenter with embarrassment and excitement, "You were almost burned by the scorching flames. It's unbelievable."

Chen Haoran cheered and looked at Lena with admiration, "You are a beautiful angel, do you know that?"

"Your ability is a remarkable gift."

“But SHIELD won’t let me use it.

Thanks to you, the world can finally see what I am capable of.

From now on, no one can stop me." Chen Haoran said, and couldn't wait to experiment with his ability again. The sound of the burning flame also ignited his suppressed ambition.

......

Airbus, interrogation room.

Miles and Skye sat opposite each other, Aaron and Abe sat next to them, both of them holding a straw and drinking their drinks comfortably.

"It seems that due process of law is not SHIELD's way of doing things!" Miles said stiffly.

"It depends on the situation." Aaron explained with a smile, "In fact, the style of S.H.I.E.L.D. can be summed up in one sentence: leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist.

Are you going to confess? Or are you going to resist?

"Be honest." Miles said sincerely, "But I'm just trying to protect our basic rights."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Aaron couldn't help but smack his lips, "I really admire your shamelessness! At this time, you are still holding high the banner of idealism as your fig leaf?

Is it because your girlfriend is here? Don't want her to see your image fall apart?"

"Excuse me, what are you talking about?" Skye asked in confusion.

"Nothing, I just can't stand some guys who like to deceive themselves."

At this time, the door of the interrogation room opened and Ward walked in with a document bag.

He looked at Miles with disdain in his eyes, "She has always defended you, saying that you are an upright person, so I will give you a chance."

Ward threw the file bag on the table. "Did you tell her, or did I?"

"I don't have to listen to you."

"You have no chance, I'll do it." Ward opened the file bag and took out several receipts from it, then looked at Skye and said, "Your boyfriend went to deposit money several times in the few days after the information was leaked, and the total amount was about one million US dollars.

Really honest!"

"What's going on?" Skye looked at Miles angrily.

"I can explain."

“Are you selling information, Miles?

Is it or isn’t it? Is it?”

"Yes but..."

"You're dead." Skye couldn't bear it anymore. If her hands hadn't been handcuffed, she would have slapped Miles in the face.

"What on earth are you thinking about?"

"A million dollars! A million dollars is enough to change my life, our lives."

"Very pragmatic, but some money is not so easy to make." Aaron curled his lips, "Now you can confess and get leniency. Which bastard bought that list?"

"A woman," Miles said. "I checked. She has no ill intentions."

"If there is no malicious intent, who would spend so much money to buy information?" Skye said angrily, "Have you ever thought about this question?"

"Of course I thought about it. If I knew her motives were not pure, I would never..."

"Who is that woman?" Ward asked directly.

“A fan of the Rising Tide organization, a rich girl in a flowery dress.

She knew me and said I had talent and that she felt people like us deserved more.”

"Idiot." Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "You are really stupid. You want to challenge jail time just to satisfy your vanity and get a million dollars in reward."

“I checked the data stream, and the information she wanted was similar to what we released before.

I also checked the company that sent me the money to make sure it wasn’t some evil company, it was just an ecological research lab, otherwise I would never…”

"Wait, you said lab?" Aaron interrupted, "Are you sure it's ecological research?"

"Yes, studying insects, centipedes and the like."

"Centipede." Aaron sneered, "This solves the case."

"What case?" Miles' heart skipped a beat. "Is there any harm in studying this?"

“Generally speaking, there is no harm, but this is not necessarily the case.

As far as I know, they have developed a centipede serum that combines various extraordinary factors such as the genes of the Chitauri, the gamma rays of the Hulk, Captain America's super soldier serum, the Extremis virus, etc. It is very unstable.

They used humans as experimental subjects. I don’t know if there were any successful examples, but failed works would become powerful bombs. As for how many people died, you can think carefully. ”

"What?" Miles couldn't hold it in any longer. "I, I don't know this. I really don't know."

"It doesn't matter whether you know it or not. What matters is that my name is on the list you leaked. If I don't catch them, I'll be in danger.

If I'm in danger, you won't be able to survive either." Aaron took a deep breath, his eyes were aggressive, "Now you have a chance to make amends. Lead us to find the so-called ecological research laboratory."
