Chapter 137: Steve
Stark probably never imagined this.
Fang Mo went to such lengths as to use a natural emerald the size of a cube for fireworks.
Nick Fury also tried to intervene, but unfortunately, Fang Mo paid him no mind. He simply tossed the emerald chunk into the air, then used a gravitational field to crush it fiercely and ignite it.
The dazzling brilliance produced when the Iron Man armor detonated, combined with the fragments of emerald crystal scattered everywhere, complemented each other, turning the entire harbor into a surreal scene. Even Nick Fury couldn't help but gaze a bit longer.
Nick Fury glanced at the President of America, then took out his communication device. "Hill, secure the harbor area and inform everyone to come collect the gems."
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. had been disbanded, Nick Fury's manpower hadn't diminished. In the original plot of Avengers 2, he piloted the HeliCarrier that should have been destroyed, heading to Sokovia to assist the Avengers in rescuing civilians.
Observing this, the President of America also cast a glance at Nick Fury.
"Mr. President, I'll arrange for someone to take you back," Nick Fury said nonchalantly. "As you can see, this sorcerer is attempting to disrupt the global emerald market. My team and I need to find a way to handle this predicament and prevent significant upheavals in the high-end jewelry industry worldwide..."
"..."
The President remained silent, just glancing at Nick Fury and then at Fang Mo nearby.
"What are you looking at?"
Fang Mo was annoyed, and upon noticing the President's gaze, he couldn't help but ask irritably.
"Um..."
The President's eyelids twitched involuntarily, then he quickly turned to Nick Fury. "Could you arrange for someone to take me back, please?"
In jest, they had discussed Fang Mo's true strength in parliament earlier.
Based on various indications, given the current technological level, it seemed impossible to defeat him.
Not only could he single-handedly destroy colossal alien motherships resembling cities, he could also teleport. According to Nick Fury, he even had possession of the Tesseract. Moreover, he could create valuable minerals almost infinitely. Who would dare provoke such a monster?
Hadn't even Nick Fury, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., needed to find ways to handle him?
In any case, the President's quick thinking this time was unexpectedly astute. He distanced himself from the chaos and shifted the burden to Nick Fury.
"You seem even stronger than the last time we met."
After the President left, Nick Fury turned to Fang Mo. "Did you gain any new skills while you were away?"
"Skills, not exactly. I've mostly mastered some unique talents."
Fang Mo directly said, "For example, I can chew on a cast iron frying pan, provide permanent treatment for eye diseases, withstand intercontinental missiles, transform into a dragon and spew water... Ahem, control rainfall and trigger laughter, seal people in a bathroom and shower them with excrement from above, cram an entire house into a suitcase and carry it away, also tell hell jokes."
"Wait, didn't you already know the last one?"
Nick Fury reminded him.
"Oh, let me rephrase it." Fang Mo shrugged. "Now, not only can I tell hell jokes, but I can also share heavenly tales."
Nick Fury suggested, "Your egg is still in my safehouse. It's already managed to take out seven ostriches. My agents couldn't handle it, so now it's in an incubator."
"I completely forgot about that."
After hearing Nick Fury's words, Fang Mo finally recalled. Yes, he was in the middle of experimenting with making the dragon egg real when he went to Asgard, a mod paradise. and he completely forgot about it after getting good mod items.
Thankfully, Nick Fury reminded him; otherwise, who knows when he would've remembered.
In any case, for the sake of the dragon egg, Fang Mo agreed to Nick Fury's invitation.
After all, he had nowhere else to stay at the moment. Even if he wanted to ask Stark for a mansion and put it into his geochest, he'd have to wait until tomorrow. Stark was obviously preoccupied with Pepper Potts at the moment, and Fang Mo would just be fed a mouthful of dog food if he went there.
Nick Fury didn't stay at the harbor overnight.
With Natasha and Barton agents around, there was no need for him to personally manage picking up the emeralds.
As for Fang Mo's gold bars... Nick Fury was tempted too, but Fang Mo didn't throw them this time. He simply waved his hand and sucked them back into his storage space.
That left Nick Fury a bit disappointed.
But he didn't say much, leading Fang Mo to his safehouse.
It was a library located in the suburbs. It truly was a place that hardly anyone would notice. Nick Fury pressed a key slightly, and a nearby bookshelf suddenly moved aside. He then led Fang Mo inside.
"Almost everyone, be it Hydra or Congress, believes I'm dead."
As Nick Fury walked down, he told Fang Mo, "Currently, apart from the Avengers team and my agents, only the President knows that I'm alive."
"You've been keeping a low profile."
Fang Mo looked around at the environment. It was just an underground safehouse, not a secretive underground research facility. It was more like an underground warehouse.
However, there were indeed quite a few contraband items here.
Fang Mo looked around and quickly saw a giant incubator.
Different from ordinary incubators, this one was over two meters tall, like a closed explosion-proof experiment chamber. All sides were covered with thick bulletproof glass, filled with straw, and several heating pipes above were maintaining the temperature.
And as for the dragon egg that Fang Mo had forgotten for so long, it lay quietly there.
