Gonzales never thought that a word he said very generously, let Fitz and Simmons quietly use it, after a bit of stealing, Fitz brought the real Black Toolbox He left, and Simmons was holding a fake one and dangling in front of others every day.
At the same time, SHIELDâs pursuit of Coulson continued, and Coulson was surrounded by two more people. One was Hunter who had escaped on the Helicarrier, and the other was Deathlok Peterson. Except for these two Personally, Coulson didnât find any other helper.
Several times that Gonzales sent his men were disrupted by these two men. In one case, they even caught Coulson directly, but he still asked Peterson to rescue them.
At this time, Gonzales also began to wonder what the Theta Protocol was, which made Coulson reluctant to mobilize the people there.
Although he didnât take Coulson, Gonzales also gained a lot during this time. He persuaded Melinda to work for him temporarily.
May agreed to work for Gonzales, on the one hand, for the base of the remaining people, and on the other hand because of the Theta Protocol mentioned by Gonzales.
In fact, even she is the closest person to Coulson on the entire world, but she still doesnât know anything about the so-called Theta Protocol, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. .
Since the John Garrett incident, Peterson has been working secretly for Coulson, and he has not participated in Theta Protocol, but is responsible for tracking the traces of the Doctor List.
The last time Coulson and their actions destroyed Hydraâs Three New Factions, they were taken advantage of by the Doctor List and gathered most of the manpower and material resources of these factions. Behind the Doctor List is Baron Strucker.
According to Petersonâs investigation, the Doctor List has been collecting powered individuals, arresting them, and experimenting with them in the recent period.
To find the trace of Doctor List, Coulson has only one way now, and that is to find Grant Ward.
For Gonzales to find Ling Xiao, Coulson also learned the details from Hill. Although Ling Xiao said he did not participate in the internal disputes of SHIELD, he still supported him both inside and outside. At the same time, Ling Xiao also expressed his dissatisfaction with Coulson for concealing such a huge project as Theta Protocol.
For Ling Xiaoâs dissatisfaction, Coulson is not in time for the time being. What worries him now is that Gonzales also knew about this plan. How did he know about this plan, and where did he know about it? Even though he knew that oneself was impossible to keep things hidden, Coulson was still very careful.
Except for those directly involved in this project and locked in the base and unable to leave, and Coulson himself, no more than five people know Theta Protocol.
Hill, Fury, Koenig Brothers, and also Tony Stark, the implementation of Theta Protocol requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and if these manpower and material resources want to transport without disturbing anyone, the cover of Stark industry is indispensable.
Even if Hill is now the secretary of the CEO of Stark Industries, she cannot bypass Stark and operate these things privately. Otherwise, once the secrets are exposed in the future, the cooperation between them and Iron Man will not be necessary, and there is more The technological support of Stark Industries is also indispensable.
But now the Theta Protocol must be put aside first. For Coulson, the most important thing now is to rescue Fitz.
Although Fitz left the base safely, Gonzales not at all let him go. He arranged a team of agents behind Fitz to closely monitor him, trying to follow him to find Coulsonâs trail.
However, compared to Fitz and other advanced geniuses who came from SHIELD Academy, the people that SHIELD followed are too far in intelligence. A small chemical experiment caused them to temporarily lose Fitz. When they found his trail again, Fitz was already on Coulsonâs invisible plane.
If in the entire SHIELD, anyone can open the Black Toolbox, except Fury and Coulson are opened by permission. Fitz opened the small black box through own wisdom, and then contacted Coulson, and finally Escaped Gonzalesâs tracking.
Rescue Fitz, retrieve the small black box, and let Coulson sighed in relief. The rest will be much easier.
Ward had a very comfortable time during this period. No one was tracking his traces in the open or secretly, and no one was plotting against him at all times.
Wardâs new branch base is on the outskirts of Miami, but he is very cautious when entering and leaving the base. In Miami, he also has another house with a small coffee shop as a cover. , Seems to live a carefree and secluded life.
But Coulsonâs appearance still disrupted all the tranquility, and no one knows how he found here.
Ward waved his hand and asked Agent 33 on the counter to put down the gun in his hand, so as not to disturb the guests, and the gun seemed useless at this time, because Deathlok Peterson was standing outside.
Come to a small lounge, Ward and Coulson sat face to face, he looked at Coulson, lightly said with a smile: âI feel very honored that you came to me with Deathlok, the purpose turned out to be Sit down and talk with me.â
âYou donât have to pretend to be humble, Ward.â Coulson sneered, said: âWe all know your ability in our hearts, but honestly, this is not to catch you. I want bigger goals, Strucker, List.â
âI canât help you.â With a helpless attitude, Ward lightly shrugged and said, âI believe you can see it too. Now I have nothing to do with Hydra. I just want to live the rest of my life peacefully.â
âBut those things you used to do, always face punishment, right?â Coulson glanced at Ward calmly and firmly. He had never forgotten the things he had done. Taking a breath, he said solemnly: âI now give you a chance to reach an agreement, help me, and I will give you freedom, eliminate all crimes, and no longer have to worry about life in fear.â
âHeavenly The pie is falling, but this will never be a good thing.â Ward looked at Coulson and couldnât help hooking the head, and said: âAnd I really canât help you now, Iâm already not in Hydra now, even though I used to be there, but I have only heard of Strucker, List and others, and never met with my own eyes.â
âYou are now fake and humble again.â Coulson chuckled shook lightly. the head, with a face of disbelief, said: âYou have always possessed great magical power. You must have some acquaintances who can find Strucker and List. At this point, I have enough confidence in you.â
Listening to Coulsonâs words, Ward stopped being in circles, and said directly: âYou know the last time I proposed to cooperate, you called me a damn liar.â
âThe situation has changed. âCoulson seems helplessly shrugged, and said, âThere will be no more lies. I tried to beat you before, but the effect was not good, so I will give you the sweetness now and help me enter Hydra. Thing. After completion, I will arrange for you to accept the Tahiti rules, and then you will be free.â
Ward couldnât help being frowned, and asked in confusion, âWill I erase my memory? This sounds more like a threat. Not sweetness. I like myself now and life now. If you didnât come here suddenly today, I might really spend the rest of my life peacefully.â
âA murderer and traitor I even said this remark.â Coulson couldnât help but let out a sneer, and said: âYou should know in your heart that my proposal is your only choice, otherwise, once your whereabouts are leaked, then the entire America will no longer be there. Your foothold, I promise.â
Hearing Coulson threatened like this, Ward eyes narrowed slightly, for a moment, even Peterson not far away felt a dangerous aura.
Coulson waved his hand to signal Peterson not to worry, and then said to Ward: âI came to you, but I actually took a big risk. You can actually choose to fight against us directly. But you donât. You are afraid of hurting the customers in the store. This shows that you may still have kindness in your heart. Maybe Garrett not at all will completely ruin it. Tahiti can erase all the misfortunes and make you what you want. Iâve tried it all over again.â
âIs everything wiped out?â Ward stared at Coulson closely. This condition was an unimaginable temptation to him.
