Trident Headquarters.
In Director Fury's former office.
"How is it? How many people are left?"
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Fury seemed to be indulging in one last moment of nostalgia.
After today's events spread, S.H.I.E.L.D. was certainly going to be disbanded.
A secret Agent organization whose secrets had been completely exposed had no reason to exist.
Similarly;
After learning everything about S.H.I.E.L.D., countries around the World would not allow such an organization, which had been thoroughly infiltrated by HYDRA, to continue to exist.
Therefore, this was probably the last time he would stand in this position and admire the view.
In the future, there would be no more opportunities!
"There are roughly over three hundred Agents left at headquarters."
Behind him, Barton gently wiped his bow and sat to the side, speaking softly.
"Over three hundred? Only over three hundred left!"
Hearing this number, Fury couldn't help but reveal a bitter expression.
The Trident Headquarters once permanently stationed over six thousand Agents!
But now;
There were only over three hundred left!
Fury didn't know how many Agents who still harbored righteousness had died in the battle just now, but even if there were three or four hundred, it meant that the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents who were not HYDRA only totaled six or seven hundred!
Compared to the number of six thousand Agents, it was only one-tenth!
The grand Trident Headquarters, surprisingly, had nine-tenths of its Agents as HYDRA.
It must be said;
This was truly an extremely ironic matter.
Even the Trident Headquarters was like this; Fury couldn't imagine the situation in other branches.
Heaven knows how many of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hundreds of thousands of Agents were truly loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Three thousand?
Or five thousand?
In any case, it wouldn't be as many as ten thousand!
Originally, Fury still had some doubts about his decision.
But after hearing this number, the last bit of doubt in his heart also vanished.
S.H.I.E.L.D.... let it vanish into thin air with today's battle!
From now on;
He was only the Director of S.W.O.R.D., no longer the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
...
The office door opened.
Natasha, who had just returned, walked in from outside.
Accompanying her were Steve and Hill.
As for Sam and Luke Cage?
They had already left.
After all, the battle was over, and it was time for them to get some good rest.
However, their performance today had been noted by everyone present; in the future Avengers, they would have a seat!
Of course;
Before they left, Hill also gave the two a performance fee.
Not much.
Only five hundred thousand U.S. dollars.
For the once vast and wealthy S.H.I.E.L.D., this wasn't even a drop in the bucket.
But now...
Even the landlord had no surplus grain!
Even this money was transferred out before S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrets were made public.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to take out this small amount of money.
However, for S.H.I.E.L.D., five hundred thousand might be a small sum, but for Sam and Luke Cage, who had never had more than fifty thousand in savings, this was already a huge sum.
So both of them were quite satisfied.
Of course!
What Sam wanted more was the opportunity to fight alongside Captain.
He was a soldier, and also a warrior.
He needed a battlefield!
Otherwise, he would only be able to go back to the veterans' nursing home and continue teaching people.
That was not the "battlefield" he wanted.
"Did you send the person back?"
Seeing Natasha return, Fury also turned around and said.
Natasha nodded, her gaze turning to Barton, who was sitting to the side, her eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.
"We only have three hundred Agents left."
Barton said.
