Ultraman Noah from Marvel

9. Fury's true purpose

A loud roar echoed through the streets of Hell's Kitchen as a luxurious supercar pulled up outside Ji Yuan's door.

"Knock knock knock~"

A rhythmic knocking sounded, and Ji Yuan opened the door with a speechless expression.

"Are all your agents this punctual? Last time it was Coulson, and this time it's you. You arrived while I was sleeping."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Ji Yuan, I didn't know you were still dreaming at 10 o'clock. I chose a more popular time to come find you."

Natasha smiled broadly, looking incredibly sexy and alluring in her tight leather outfit.

"Alright."

Ji Yuan sighed and quickly tidied up.

"Are you going to eat breakfast or not?"

"I've already eaten."

After politely inquiring, Ji Yuan, enduring Aunt Wang's gossipy gaze, bought a few beef buns and got into Natasha's sports car.

Sitting in the supercar, Ji Yuan sensed Natasha's emotions and felt puzzled.

Natasha's mood was extremely strange today, and it was directed at him.

Longing, joy, hope...

Normally, Ji Yuan wouldn't find it strange to sense this kind of emotion, but what's strange is that Natasha's emotions are directed at him.

That's really strange. She's only met once and she already has this kind of emotion. Ji Yuan tensed up, suspecting that Natasha had some strange thoughts about him.

Fortunately, the journey to S.H.I.E.L.D. was relatively peaceful. Natasha was extremely agitated, but she did not do anything to Ji Yuan.

The current headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not on the Helicarrier, but in a hidden underground facility in New York. To be precise, it may not be the headquarters, but a branch.

Upon entering a strangely shaped office, Fury stood backlit, facing Ji Yuan, the S.H.I.E.L.D. badge on his chest gleaming, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

However, due to the lighting and skin tone, Ji Yuan couldn't actually see Fury's face clearly, but he felt that Fury must be a top-notch assassin in the dark.

"Hello, I'm Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Welcome to the team."

Fury extended his large hand in greeting.

Ji Yuan also reached out his hand, then pointed to the S.H.I.E.L.D. badge and asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "What is the full name of your S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"..."

Fury was stunned. He hadn't expected this mysterious magician to act so unpredictably. Normally, new recruits would first ask what their job was and how their salary would be paid. Who would ask for the full name of S.H.I.E.L.D. right off the bat?

The S.H.I.E.L.D. badge is engraved with SHIELD, which is an abbreviation of the full name of S.H.I.E.L.D., but very few people can recite the full name correctly.

But Fury, befitting his role as director of S.H.I.E.L.D., recited the full name fluently: "Homeland Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency."

Ji Yuan was filled with respect; he was truly impressed that the person could memorize such a long name.

Natasha, standing to the side, gained a new understanding of Ji Yuan. It seemed that this mysterious magician was not as serious as he appeared on the surface, but rather quite humorous.

"I'm impressed. It seems you really are the director of S.H.I.E.L.D." Ji Yuan said very seriously.

Fury was speechless. Shouldn't magicians be serious and mysterious? How could they be so unreliable?

"Okay, Ji Yuan, I am indeed the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Could you demonstrate your mysterious magical abilities to me?"

As Fury finished speaking.

The behemoth that was S.H.I.E.L.D. sprang into action, with cameras and various detection devices all pointed at Ji Yuan's office, attempting to record the energy fluctuations within.

Ji Yuan nodded, knowing that this was going to happen. However, in order to prevent S.H.I.E.L.D. from discovering anything, his energy fluctuations in human form were completely different from those in Ultraman form.

How can you do that?

Don't ask, the answer is the power of idealism.

"Snapped!"

A snap of the fingers was made.

A gentle, pure white power emanated from within, enveloping Fury and Natasha, and even the agents spying from next door received the same treatment.

Except for Natasha, who had already received some stimulation and managed to remain silent, everyone else let out a groan.

There's no way around it, this feeling is just too comfortable. Every part of my body is conveying a wonderful sensation, like being back in my mother's arms. All the illnesses in my body have been soothed, and I feel so much lighter.

Fury tried his best to control his expression. He finally understood that Natasha's description was too one-sided. This feeling was really hard to describe. Fury felt that his long-term aching cervical spine had been truly repaired, and he felt incredibly comfortable. Was this supernatural magic?

A minute later, Ji Yuan stopped casting "magic" and his face turned a little pale. Showing off his skills was fine, but he didn't want to be bothered with casting "magic" all day long, so he had to feign weakness.

Fury's only remaining eye was filled with satisfaction, as if every cell in his body had been liberated. There was only one word to express his current feeling: awesome!

Fury's gaze towards Ji Yuan changed instantly, filled with eagerness—the respect due to a highly skilled technician.

"Mr. Ji Yuan, on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., I am officially hiring you as a psychologist for S.H.I.E.L.D. All the benefits are top-notch, and you will have the right to take on missions independently, with additional bonuses for each completed mission."

Fury originally wanted to discuss the issue of autonomy with Ji Yuan, but after witnessing Ji Yuan's abilities, he changed his mind. Having experienced so much, Fury understood that people with special abilities all have their own principles. If he caused Ji Yuan to become annoyed or even refuse to join because of bargaining, it would be a huge loss. In short, it was best to keep things stable for now.

"..."

Ji Yuan didn't know what to say, but having already offered such a condition, he seemed unable to refuse.

"Okay, I'll join."

Fury then chatted with Ji Yuan about various things, subtly inquiring about the maximum extent of his healing magic, whether his magic had any combat capabilities, where Kamar-Taj was located, and whether it posed any threat to humanity.

Ji Yuan knew Fury had ill intentions, and to avoid trouble, he replied that he was only skilled in healing magic and that he was not proficient enough. As for where Kamar-Taj was, he only said that it was in New York and that he should go find him if he wanted to.

After probing for a long time without getting the result he wanted, Fury could only sigh and gesture for Ji Yuan to come with him.

"It seems this is the real reason Fury recruited me."

Ji Yuan was filled with anticipation; he wanted to see what tricks Fury was up to.

Walking through the brightly lit corridor, with a constant stream of medical staff coming and going, until reaching a room at the end of the corridor.

Upon opening the door, Ji Yuan was astonished to see an adult man lying on the hospital bed. When he recognized the man's face, he was filled with surprise.

"Steve Rogers."

That is, Captain America.

Sensing Steve's physical condition, Ji Yuan discovered a major problem.

Our captain with the perky butt seems to be a bit dead.
