The S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters was a massive cylindrical structure formed by three fan-shaped sections, resembling a nuclear radiation warning symbol when viewed from above.
First floor lobby.
Upon entering.
The most striking feature was the all-metal S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, which resembled a "Dongpeng TeY" energy drink.
Leon's appearance.
Instantly drew the gaze of all the walking staff.
But their excellent professionalism.
Did not make them swarm him for autographs or photos like brainless zombies; instead, they stopped and respectfully nodded and bowed to Leon.
Leon also waved back at them, returning a friendly smile.
At this moment.
Behind Leon.
A team of armed personnel in standard combat uniforms, who had just returned, entered the main door and immediately saw Leon waiting.
"Captain Homelander."
S.H.I.E.L.D. Special Forces Captain Rumlow greeted Leon familiarly.
Usually, it was his team that accompanied Leon on outdoor missions, serving as the cleanup crew and other manual labor, similar to Captain America's setup.
Out of submission to Leon's absolute power and social status, they privately used a more respectful title for Leon than Homelander, which was Captain Homelander.
Because it sounded both professional and imposing, Leon let them call him that.
"Hey, Rumlow, my friend, just back from a mission? You are the true heroes."
Leon enthusiastically patted Rumlow's shoulder, looking at him and the team members behind him, with a highly infectious smile on his face.
"You flatter us."
"Compared to your contributions, ours are just minor skirmishes."
Rumlow said humbly.
"Justice knows no high or low, noble or humble."
"My friends, you should be proud of yourselves."
Leon spoke without hesitation.
Rumlow and his team, upon hearing this, immediately looked as if they had been injected with adrenaline, wishing they could offer their hearts to Leon.
Listen!
How well does he speak?
If he weren't a member of HYDRA, Rumlow would genuinely enjoy working under Leon, willing to be his vanguard.
After all.
This superior was not only super strong but also incredibly responsible; he hardly needed them for missions and always provided immense emotional value.
Money was even less of an issue.
He spent money like Water.
When he was happy.
He'd give tips or something.
Which would amount to several years of their salaries.
However.
Since undercover work at S.H.I.E.L.D. and working for Leon did not conflict, Rumlow usually had his heart in Han while physically in Cao, not delaying either side, and enjoying his work immensely.
Just as Leon and Rumlow were chatting animatedly.
A cold and glamorous older sister type, dressed in a pure Black form-fitting uniform that accentuated her long legs and slender waist, with Black hair and Blue eyes, walked gracefully towards Leon and the others in tactical heeled boots.
"Leon."
"Hey, Hill, my friend, long time no see, I've really missed you."
Seeing Hill arrive, Leon flashed over, and before she could react, he hugged her, while secretly signaling to Rumlow and the others behind Hill's back and slipping them a diamond card.
Go, go.
Don't disturb me flirting with a girl.
Seeing this.
Rumlow rubbed his nose, then exchanged knowing glances with his teammates, the diamond card in his hand still exuding a strong scent of money.
So good~
Long live Captain Homelander!
...
Under the unsurprised gazes of S.H.I.E.L.D. internal staff, Leon walked very slowly, embracing Hill all the way.
And Hill's tolerance for Leon was also very high.
Unless his hands strayed to private areas that were not suitable for him to touch openly, Hill was completely permissive towards him, as long as he didn't cross that final Pink line.
After all.
Hill's mission was not to date Leon.
As S.H.I.E.L.D.'s second-in-command, she was usually very busy and had no time for mischief.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Director's office.
"Motherfucker?!"
"You said you humanely eliminated Justin Hammer?!"
Director Fury slammed the desk in shock, quickly pulled out a nasal inhaler from his drawer, placed it against his philtrum, took a deep breath, and forcibly rebooted his somewhat frozen brain.
"There was no other way."
Leon spread his hands, indifferently saying, "Who told him to do bad things without notifying me in advance? If he had told me, I could have flown over to arrest him before he committed an irreversible mistake."
Upon hearing this.
Director Fury's mouth twitched. He rose from his office chair, walked to the French window, and stood with his back to Leon, lost in thought.
After a long while.
He sighed and said, "Agent Hill, you can go attend to other matters first."
"Mhm."
Agent Hill nodded, moved her lubricated five-fingered maiden that was sliding down her waist, and turned to leave.
"My dear, are you free tonight?"
"I'll treat you to a one-of-a-kind fireworks show in the World."
Leon persistently rested his chin on Agent Hill's shoulder from behind, his gentle breath caressing Agent Hill's slightly reddened earlobe, and softly invited her.
"......"
Facing Leon's teasing and invitation, Agent Hill did not respond, simply pushing the door open and leaving.
Seeing this.
Leon's mouth curved into a smile, and he subtly performed the action that Soldier Boy did to the cleaning lady in the hotel in "The Boys" Season 3 as she left.
For ease of reference.
From now on, this action will be uniformly referred to as—
"Leon's Grip."
"!!!!!"
With this move from Leon, Agent Hill finally reacted, glaring fiercely at Leon before leaving, her lips silently moving: You wait for me tonight!
That's more like it~
Leon's smile grew even brighter.
Then.
He walked over to Black Halogen Egg, who was posing alone, and smiled faintly, "If you keep acting cool and pretending to be a master without speaking, I'll leave, you know."
Upon hearing this.
Director Fury immediately spoke, "I have a plan, called 'Insight'."
"Oh?"
"I'd like to hear the details."
The golden light that had just appeared on Leon's body instantly receded.
Afterwards.
Leon followed Director Fury into the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director's private elevator in the office.
"Insight Project Ship Bay."
Director Fury said.
"Captain Homelander Leon Stark does not have permission to enter the Insight Project."
The elevator AI voice immediately responded.
"Override authorization, Director Nicholas J. Fury."
"Confirmed."
After the elevator AI voice spoke, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Buzz—
Only the sound of the elevator descending. Director Fury, to prevent Leon from getting bored, started chatting with him casually.
"This place used to play music, but it stopped after my Grandpa, who was the elevator operator, passed away."
"Simple."
Leon's mouth curved into a smile, and he snapped his fingers.
"The Man with His Own BGM" instantly activated.
The elevator immediately began playing "Sunny Rainbow White Pony" from an unknown source, which was akin to a hellish joke for a Black person like Director Fury:
You are that that that that, that that that that, Sunny Rainbow White Pony, di di da di di da ♫
Director Fury's face immediately darkened upon hearing it.
