"Yes, it's a female, and she's also Lauren Morgan's classmate. It's said their relationship is quite good."
Coulson nodded and told Nick Fury all the information he had investigated, one by one.
"Early romance? A relationship?"
"I haven't heard about that, but they are both at an age of youthful innocence, so it's not impossible for them to develop feelings for each other."
"Heh, while others are still playing in the mud during their youthful innocence, they've done well. One became Batman, the other became Spider-Man. Are they having a wild party?"
"Sir, I think Gwen Stacy is a very good starting point. If we can handle Gwen, and then use Gwen's identity as a classmate to approach Lauren, perhaps we can successfully recruit Lauren. After all, young men and women value love quite a lot."
"Okay, let's proceed with this matter according to your idea for now! If it succeeds, that's naturally the best. If not, at least recruit Spider-Man."
"Understood." Coulson nodded, then continued, "Oh, by the way, while I was investigating Gwen Stacy, I did find some unexpected information."
"What information?"
"It's like this. About two months ago, the Morgan Family head was shot and killed on the street by two Gunmen. This incident caused a huge stir back then, and I believe you know about it."
"Yes, the unexpected death of the Morgan Family head was a major event. Even the President was alarmed at the time, and he even specially formed an investigation team to track this matter. I remember the person in charge of the investigation seemed to be Pierce, right?"
"Yes, at the funeral of the Morgan Family head back then, Pierce Minister personally accepted the President's order."
"He did accept the order, that's right, but it seems there hasn't been a breakthrough since, and the two killers haven't been found."
"Sir, I also thought so before, believing that Pierce's subordinates were inefficient and didn't find the killers.
But after my investigation, I found that this matter is not as simple as we thought. By the way, Sir, do you still remember the scene at the funeral back then?"
"The scene at the funeral? I've forgotten a bit. I only remember that many people attended the funeral back then, and dignitaries from all walks of life seemed to be gathered."
"Yes, the dignitaries of our country all attended the funeral back then, including you, a total of over 50 people."
"Does this have anything to do with the unexpected information you mentioned?"
"Yes, and it's very important!"
"According to our investigation, many people attended the funeral back then.
However, only the Morgan Family head's older sister, Maeve Morgan, didn't attend, which is very unreasonable.
So I specifically investigated, and later found that Maeve Morgan had fallen out with the Morgan Family head over the issue of family inheritance several years ago.
After that, she left the Morgan Family and disappeared without a trace.
However, on the night the Morgan Family head was shot, we found her trace in the surveillance video of a nearby street."
"An older sister who hadn't appeared for many years, her last appearance was on the night her younger brother died?
Heh, what deep sibling affection. In other words, the death of the Morgan Family head was very likely done by his older sister?"
"I can only say that this possibility cannot be ruled out."
"Wait, since the surveillance on the nearby street captured Maeve's trace, why didn't Pierce mention this when he was investigating the matter back then?"
"Sir, this is also what I was curious about, so this month I conducted an in-depth investigation based on Maeve and Pierce Minister, and then I found these things."
As Coulson spoke, he handed a file folder to Nick Fury.
Nick Fury, with a hint of curiosity, opened the file.
Instantly, his expression changed dramatically.
Because the file actually contained photos of Maeve and Pierce's secret meetings, as well as Maeve Morgan's whereabouts over the years.
And on the last page of the file, a special symbol resembling a skull and six octopus-like legs clearly appeared.
Ordinary people might not understand what this special symbol represents.
But as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., how could Nick Fury not recognize it?
"This is! Hydra!!!"
Nick Fury's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
Because as far as he knew, Hydra had completely disappeared from this World after the end of World War II.
But the scene before him told him that the truth was not as he had thought.
Not only did Hydra not disappear, but it's even very likely that they have infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D..
Because from the information Coulson collected, his old friend Pierce and Maeve Morgan are very likely one of Hydra's leaders.
"Who else have you shown this file to?" Nick Fury looked at Coulson with a solemn expression.
"Sir, currently only you."
"Very good, destroy this material immediately and act as if nothing has happened."
"Sir, why is that?"
"Because if your investigation is accurate, then our S.H.I.E.L.D. might have been infiltrated.
Therefore, once the news that Hydra still exists in this World is discovered by spies, it will be like beating the grass to startle the snake.
It will be even more difficult to root them out then, so we need to remain unchanged in response to changes now."
"Understood!" After hearing Nick Fury's explanation, Coulson didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately burned it with a lighter.
At this point, Nick Fury changed the subject, "So, Lauren Morgan knew that Pierce was a HYDRA member before we did?"
"From the fact that he was able to investigate and find out that Pierce was the real culprit behind his Father's murder, it's highly probable."
"This kid is truly unexpected! It seems our previous understanding of him was all wrong."
"Actually, it wasn't exactly wrong. Before his parents died, he indeed acted like a prodigal son. It's just that after his parents died, he seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only did he personally catch the two killers who murdered his Father, but he also uprooted the forces behind them."
"A well-known prodigal son suddenly becoming decisive and efficient, this kid was either playing dumb to catch a tiger before, or he has someone backing him."
"The possibility of playing dumb to catch a tiger is not high. He is the first in line heir of the Morgan Family, so there's no need for him to do that. Therefore, it's likely the latter.
And according to the recollections of the police Officers who were at the scene at the time, there was a Silver-haired woman accompanying Lauren.
According to our comparison, that Silver-haired woman is the same person as the Silver-haired woman who appeared at the World Security Council Building a month ago."
"You mean, this Silver-haired woman was placed by some force beside Lauren Morgan?"
"It's highly possible, but whether it is or not still depends on Natasha's investigation."
"Okay, we'll see whether this kid is a mule or a horse when we pull him out. By the way, Pierce is dead, what about Maeve Morgan?"
"Shortly after the death of the Kingpin, the Black Emperor, Maeve went to Morgan Manor, but after that, she never came out of the Manor again."
"You mean she's imprisoned in Morgan Manor? Or is she dead?!"
"That's currently unknown, but judging by the ruthless methods of that Silver-haired woman, the other party is likely in grave danger."
"If that's the case, then their Morgan Family is truly chaotic. Sister killing brother, nephew killing aunt, what a crazy family."
"These wealthy families always have some special quirks."
"Heh, you're right to say that."
As for the secret conversation between Nick Fury and Coulson, Lauren naturally had no idea about it at this time.
And he wasn't in the mood to know right now, because his head was splitting at the moment.
"Washing Boss's clothes is something I, as the housekeeper, should do. Sister 2B, you're not allowed to snatch it."
"Then warming Boss's bed is also something I, as the private assistant, should do. Sister Tifa, why are you snatching it?"
"That's not right. You are a private assistant in name, but in reality, your duty is to protect Boss's safety. Therefore, you only need to be responsible for security, and all these internal affairs are handled by me."
"What you said is not right. Before you were born, I did all these tasks. And you are the housekeeper. The housekeeper is responsible for the operation of the Manor, not internal affairs."
"You're wrong!"
"You're the one who's wrong!"
"Then let's go ask Boss, and let Boss decide."
"...." Lauren.
Watching Tifa and 2B argue like two children, and then come to him for judgment, Lauren's head ached.
Now he just wants to call for help!
But at this moment, Alice's voice rang out in the hall.
"Warning, someone is infiltrating the Manor!"
As soon as they heard Alice's warning, 2B and Tifa immediately pricked up their ears, and at the same time, a hint of killing intent appeared on their faces.
"There are enemies invading, Sister Tifa, you can't snatch this time. This is security work, and it's my responsibility."
Saying this, 2B quickly rushed towards the outside of the Manor.
Seeing this, Tifa didn't stand idle either and immediately followed.
"Protecting the safety of the Manor is also my duty as the housekeeper. Sister 2B, wait for me, let's go together!"
"No, if you all go, then who will protect me?"
"I'm really drunk, I've created two living fathers!"
