Marvel Anime Extraction - Chapter 114

Fanny had thought long and hard about how to begin this call.

He considered greeting Nick Fury as if nothing had happened, and then steering the conversation toward Asgard.

Or perhaps he should begin by talking about Captain America, and then naturally proceed to talk about the Tesseract.

But he felt that neither of these roundabout ways would match the image he had built in Nick Fury’s head. He decided to take the simplest and most direct way.

“You are in great trouble, Director Fury!”

Nick Fury received the call in shock. His heart tightened when he heard what Fanny said. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, “I have no idea what you’re talking about!”

“You should think hard about it.”

Fanny hung up, trying to maintain the hard-to-get persona. He thought that Nick Fury would immediately call him again, and he could refuse the call a couple of times before answering.

But Fanny was left hanging for five minutes. He was shocked that Nick Fury didn’t call him back. This wasn’t supposed to happen!

Ten minutes… half an hour…

Fanny was at a loss. He didn’t expect this; he expected that Nick Fury would doubt him and not ask him for help, but he didn’t expect that the bald director would flat-out ignore him.

The phone finally rang again, just as Fanny considered calling the director again.

“I am outside your house right now!”

There was urgency in Nick Fury’s voice. Fanny didn’t know where the director was when he called, but he immediately understood why Nick Fury didn’t call him back.

Fanny was surprised that Nick Fury would immediately rush over to meet him, but he was also relieved. This meant that he wasn’t being ignored.

Nick Fury was sitting in a black car outside Fanny’s house. “Do you mind going on a ride?” Nick Fury greeted Fanny with a question.

Fanny looked around and at Nick Fury. He then opened the passenger seat and sat in the car.

Fanny kept his silence along the ride, and Nick Fury seemed to concentrate on the road. The car was filled with unnatural silence until Nick Fury pulled the car to park in the suburbs.

“What do you mean by great trouble?”

Fanny had no way of knowing which of his actions had left the deepest impression in Nick Fury’s heart. It wasn’t the portal that he could freely open anywhere, nor the mysterious and unpredictable ‘Demon Armor Incursio.’ It wasn’t even the powerful ‘Explosion Magic.’

It was instead a throwaway line he had said a while ago: ‘You found Captain America?’

People fear the unknown.

Nick Fury wouldn’t have cared so much if he had discovered that Fanny had a powerful intelligence network or had arranged spies within SHIELD.

But Fanny had none of these things. That was why Nick Fury was afraid of Fanny’s unknown ability.

That was why he had rushed through thousands of miles just because of a short phone call from Fanny.

Despite not knowing the reason, Fanny understood that Nick Fury had attached great importance to him. He put on a serious face.

“You have come into contact with Kree Empire and even took in the Skrulls. I don’t think I need to tell you how big and dangerous our universe is!”

Nick Fury’s face changed dramatically. He had many secrets, but this was undoubtedly his deepest one.

Fanny had mentioned ‘that woman’ some time ago, but it was to be expected that a significant incident like that would leave traces here and there. But Nick Fury was certain that nobody on Earth should have known about the Kree and the Skrull.

“Fanny Helsed, where the fuck did you find out about that…”

Nick Fury’s expression was horrible. Fanny hadn’t even gotten into the specific danger that he called about, but the director’s mood was already rock bottom.

“You don’t have to worry about where or how I found out about this stuff; you just need to keep in mind that I know more than you could imagine,” Fanny replied indifferently. The more Nick Fury feared him, the easier it was to make the director believe him, which in turn would open the path to the Tesseract.

“Of course, you can try to detain and interrogate me, but you have to think about the consequences,” Fanny tested the director, observing the change in expression.

But Nick Fury was a veteran master spy. Fanny was still too naive to see through the poker face he had cultivated.

“I am not such an unreasonable person.” Nick Fury looked straight at Fanny and continued, “However, I hope that you haven’t told anyone about this!”

“Don’t worry, I am very tight-lipped!”

Fanny conveniently ignored what he talked about with Tony and Skye—this was a very different matter anyway. Fanny wouldn’t randomly talk about this to anyone; because he didn’t know why Nick Fury had protected the Skrulls.

“Let’s talk about the great problem!”

Nick Fury didn’t trust Fanny, but he didn’t press on. Both he and Fanny had their own reasons to keep this tenuous alliance, and neither of them wanted to deal with the consequences of becoming enemies.

“Do you still remember the Asgardian incident?”

“The one about the hammer in New Mexico?”

Nick Fury would not forget about such an important incident.

“As far as I know, Asgard’s Bifrost has been destroyed. For now, you wouldn’t have to worry about them sending any troops around.”

Fanny deliberately obscured any information about when the Bifrost was destroyed, implying as if it only happened recently.

Nick Fury didn’t seem happy hearing this information and instead frowned. “I thought you say they’re allies!”

“Yes.” Fanny nodded and continued, “But you’re still wary of them and even prepared to fight them, no?”

“I have to anticipate any possibility!” Nick Fury didn’t deny it.

“Do you see why I said you’re more dangerous than Hulk and me?” Fanny snickered. “Did you know? The Tesseract was actually left by the Asgardians on Earth.”

After the endless stream of inexplicable omniscience that Fanny displayed, Nick Fury was no longer surprised that Fanny knew this level of secrets.

“Are you saying they want to take it back?”

Fanny didn’t reply to that question. It was Nick Fury’s own speculation; he hadn’t said anything about this being great trouble.

Nick Fury frowned. If this was true, he would really be in a big pickle. Even if that cube originally belonged to Asgard, it had spent enough time to leave its mark on Earth’s history.

“What will happen if I refuse?” Nick Fury asked while looking at Fanny. His intuition told him that Fanny had a reason for telling him all this.

“You should try telling them.” Fanny narrowed his eyes.

The current Asgard shouldn’t really care about the Space Stone. In fact, the Infinity Stones should be rather useless to them. The requirements to properly use Stones were too high. Among Asgardians, only Odin would be able to wield the Stones, and even then, it would be at the cost of his lifespan.

And Asgard already has rather advanced teleportation technology. They were almost on par with Kamar-Taj’s portal.

Thus, the reason Fanny told Nick Fury all this was purely to scare the bald director into letting him access the Tesseract.
