Chapter 88: Mind Reading (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Don’t be delusional. I will not betray the organization. Even if you know, so what? Our organization is already very strong. I hope you can leave New York alive… Haha.” Wesley frowned at him. How can you be so arrogant? Do you really think that I am made of mud? At most, I will raze the branch office to the ground.

“Didn’t you see my Iron Man Armor just now? Even if the branch office is full of your people, so what? At most, the branch office will be razed to the ground.” Wesley said with a murderous look. The other party was stunned and then stopped being arrogant.

He knew the strength of Iron Man, so they had never dared to come into contact with Tony Stark. He was an explosive bag, a guy who had no scruples at all. Once he was angered, Hydra and SHIELD might not be any better.

Wesley got someone to take the prisoner out and then discussed it with Phil Coulson. “Phil, now we need to identify the people you brought. Then we will go to the police station overnight and investigate the matter of me calling for support in the afternoon. This way, we can keep our own people and control the other party bit by bit.”

Phil Coulson was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he carefully studied Wesley, making Wesley feel awkward. “What are you looking at?”

“How do you know so much? What is your ability?” Phil Coulson looked at Wesley again before asking.

“Mind reading!” Wesley then made it up. “This should be considered a superpower. Since I was found by the Assassin Brotherhood, I stopped using nerve suppressants and began to develop my own ability. However, as I used it continuously, I found that I could actually read minds. Of course, my mind reading is a little different. I need physical contact to do it.”

As soon as Wesley finished speaking, Phil Coulson unconsciously moved his chair back. Wesley looked at him with some amusement. “Do you have any shameful secrets?”

Phil Coulson hurriedly shook his head. “No, how could there be? But your ability is really good. This way, we can easily find Hydra’s personnel in our internal department.”

“It’s not that simple. The reason why I’ve been reluctant to tell you is that there are limits to this ability. Every time I use it, it consumes my physical strength. I can’t use it continuously. There are so many people in SHIELD. I don’t know how long it will take to distinguish them all, and they won’t just sit there and wait for death.” Wesley shook his head. Although he has Tony Stark’s new energy source, he can’t directly absorb the energy in front of others. It’s enough for Tony Stark to know. Any more people who know will be dangerous.

This was especially true in the United States. Because their history was too short, they had a strong desire for control. Tony Stark had only borrowed new energy and technology armor. For the United States, it did not have such a strong sense of crisis, but if they knew that Wesley could absorb energy, it would be completely different.

Look at Dr. Bruce Banner. He was shone on by gamma rays and was chased by General Ross all the way. However, Hulk the Hulk was so powerful that the U.S. military could not do anything to him and could only let him go. Even so, SHIELD was still tightly deployed around him, making all those who wanted to attack him disappear.

What about Wesley? Without the Iron Man Armor that Tony Stark had given him, he would only be on the same level as Captain America, or even less than him. After all, his heart couldn’t keep beating so fast. The physical energy he consumed needed to be replenished by food. This would take time. Even if he had an apple to help him control the rapid consumption of his internal organs, it would still take time.

Therefore, Wesley needed to constantly strengthen himself and do something he liked to do. He needed to soar in this Marvel Universe.

Phil Coulson didn’t know what Wesley was thinking, but since he had this ability, there was hope for him to get rid of the Hydra inside S.H.I.E.L.D., even if it took a lot of time. But before that, he needed to plan carefully. “In any case, this ability of yours is indeed what we need most right now. It can help us distinguish who the enemy is. Now let’s start identifying the people I brought with me, okay?”

“Sure, but buy something to eat first. Otherwise, I won’t last long.” Wesley took out his wallet and pulled out five hundred dollars. “Buy more. I want a hamburger and Coke. I need high-calorie food.”

“This ability of yours is really good. You don’t seem to get fat no matter how much you eat? Women are going to be jealous.” Phil Coulson did not stand on ceremony with him. Wesley was a millionaire and took the money out to buy food. He was not at ease to let his people buy it, so he went in person.

Not long after, he bought a large amount of food and distributed some to his subordinates. The rest was taken into the office. His subordinates felt very strange. Why did their boss eat so much?

Wesley first ate a few Big Macs and drank a large-pack Coke. Then he nodded at Phil Coulson. Next, the headquarters agents entered one by one, saying that they would introduce Wesley to them and shake hands with them one by one.

It didn’t take long for Wesley to finish all the fast food he had bought. At the same time, he also identified the people. Not to mention that a few of them were from Hydra, the entire SHIELD headquarters was destroyed in the battle of Captain America 2. Although it was mainly caused by the fall of the mothership, internal fighting was also an important reason.

Wesley gave several names directly to Phil Coulson. Without the slightest hesitation, he disarmed them and confiscated the communications equipment. There was no listening device implanted in the bodies of these people, and they were not carrying poison, so the process went smoothly.

“I know you are very puzzled as to why I want to arrest them, but now is not the time to talk about this. Today’s matter must be buried in your hearts. This concerns important operations and secrets, but there is a good thing to inform you. From now on, you are my direct subordinates and you have to follow me to do some big things in the future.” Phil Coulson said to the remaining people.

“Boss, although I don’t understand why you’re doing this, I think you have a reason. What are we going to do next?” It has to be said that Phil Coulson is known as the most exemplary agent of SHIELD. His subordinates are very convinced of him. Although he didn’t say why, everyone believes him, which is rare for an agent.

“Good. We are going to the New York Division next. The situation there is a little complicated. You can’t trust anyone unless we have screened them. This time, we are going to investigate Agent Wesley Gibson’s application for rescue. At that time, the Division did not take the slightest action. Headquarters has decided to review this. You have to be ready for a firefight at any time. Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir!” Everyone perked up. This might be a fierce battle, and the operation just now was obviously to catch the mole. It seems that the bureau is not peaceful, and these people are confirmed and have a valuable trust.
