Chapter 263: SHIELD's Reaction
"Wait a minute! You are saying that this Kenichi Shirahama now posses all the legal business of Fortuna!?" asked Secretary Pierce
"Yes! He has all the legal business of Fortuna under his name" stated Agent Jennifer
"How can you let him have such a large fortune when it was our agent who did the work?" asked secretary Pierce
"Fortuna has it's hand in many businesses in our country along with many tangible assets as well, now you are telling me it's all under the hands of a 17 years old hormonal kid. We seriously can't afford it. Other facts aside if we let it go then the kid will gain 10% shares in Stark's company, that's something we have been gunning for since the beginning how can we have such a kid get his hands on it" Secretary Pierce said.
"I couldn't ask the property back from him because he and his friends took down Fortuna by themselves and his Masters were the one who took down most of the enemy force as our team wasn't capable of doing so and they were the ones who infiltrated the fortress to take stated down computer he general who was issuing the orders against our raid. In reality, my team didn't do much work in the fighting department even with the help of the prisoners that Fortuna had locked up, it was mainly them who took don the enemy while my team cleaned up after them" stated Agent Jennifer
"What!? How is this possible when did our Agents degrade to such a level that we became sweepers?" asked Secretary Pierce in surprise.
Fury was surprised as well as he only knew that Ryozanpaku was the main force to take down their enemy while their team was supporting them from the sidelines but according to Agent Jennifer they were nothing else but sweepers.
"It's because the enemy soldiers were wearing NIJ Class 5 body armor, far beyond our soldiers' armor and not only were our weapons useless against the new threat but they were also carrying the latest assault rifles, ones that have been only just developed," explained Agent Jennifer
"How did they even got their hands on such-..... STARK!" secretary pierce said answering his own question.
"We have been cleaning his ass for some time now but this could have been a lethal strike to our soldiers," said Nick Fury.
"We need to send agents undercover to check on this! Even our army doesn't have such advance weapon but one mans private army has already gotten his hands on them!" stated Secretary Pierce
"We haven't been counting on such devastating attacks and if it weren't for the help from Kenichi's Masters then most of the soldiers would have lost their life" Agent Jennifer
"Who are the Masters you are talking about Agent Jennifer?" asked Secretary Pierce
"It's Ryozanpaku! Pierce" before Agent Jennifer could reply to Pierce, Nick Fury answered to him first.
"Ryozanpaku!? Hayato Furiniji's Ryozanpaku!?" asked Pierce just to be sure.
"Correct!" replied Nick Fury
"Well then it looks like we can't force this Kenichi to sell Fortuna's assets in our country!" stated Secretary Pierce.
"Yes, that's right!" said Nick Fury
"But sir Kenichi Shirahama has only taken the Legal Business not the illegal ones which contains the bigger part in Fortuna's fortune and he has given the name and location of these businesses" stated Agent Jennifer.
"Hmm.... how did he even got to know about these places? Did Fortuna tell him about those illegal businesses as well?" asked Secretary Pierce
"No! Kenichi Shirahama and his friend Niijima Haruo were able to get there hands-on Fortuna's visor after defeating him which was directly connected to Fortuna's hidden computer which had all the information and Niijima Haruo was able to hack into that visor to get all the information we needed. Though they had requested release the scientists captured by Fortuna to work for him." stated Agent Jennifer.
"Those Scientists will be a great boon to SHIELD we can't just let them go just like that for a kid's request even if some of the scientists belong to the country where SHIELD doesn't operate," stated Secretary Pierce
"But sir wouldn't we be forcefully keeping them with us be the same as what Fortuna did!?" asked Agent Jennifer.
"We aren't doing it for personal purpose Agent Jennifer. SHIELD needs to be the most advanced agency if we have to do our work and protect this world" stated Nick Fury.
"And besides its not like we will be keeping them with us forever now will we! After they have passed down all the knowledge and research they have done while under Fortuna we would let them go and would even provide them with the necessary compensation for their job" added Secretary Pierce.
'Which scientists would willingly hand over the research they have been doing for a long time even if they were forced to do that under someone they won't hand it over to us as we will be doing the same' thought Agent Jennifer and she knew that she was right meaning that none of the scientists the save from Fortuna will be able to get their freedom.
"Moreover, we have to do something about the properties in Kenichi Shirahama's hand, I don't like it but I think we will have to talk with Fortuna to sign new papers for us we can change the date as to how we want to on a later date," stated Secretary Pierce, "We will use the legal root to get the properties he holds in America at least"
Agent Jennifer who was hearing this from the side couldn't help but frown, she didn't like how her superiors were trying underhanded ways to get the fortune that Kenichi has obtained. Afterall Kenichi was Sakaki's disciple and she was going to be Sakaki's wife in the future then that makes Kenichi her family as well.
"Hmm... for this mission you should send Hawkeye with Agent Jennifer as well. We can't have our agents getting beaten by one man's private army" stated Secretary Pierce.
"I have already decided to do so, Agent Coulson will be going with them as well to command the team with the latest weapons and armor that SHIELD has in the inventory" stated Nick Fury
"Sir, Kenichi Shirahama had told me to tell you something!" stated Agent Jennifer.
"Hmm... What is it?" Nick raised the eyebrow of bids only good eye and asked.
"Sir, Kenichi Shirahama has said that.....
