After a moment of silence, Nick Fury frowned, but couldn't help asking the name, "Is your friend Captain Marvel?"
Lai Mu blinked, "Guess..."
Seeing that Nick Fury's already dark face was getting darker, Lai Mu decisively gave up on keeping him in suspense and said, "Carol Danvers."
Stark raised an eyebrow and looked at Lemu, then at Fury... Carol Danvers? I don't know her.
Didn't Nick Fury come to see me? Why are they chatting instead?
He took out a bottle of beer and a small bag of pine nuts from under the table and leaned back on the sofa indifferently.
You guys chat...I'll watch the show.
Nick Fury's expression relaxed a little, with a hint of a smile on his face, as if he considered Lemu a friend because they had a common friend. "When did you two get to know each other? She said she was coming back soon. Didn't she come with you? Our old friends miss her very much."
Lai Mu rolled his eyes and sneered in his heart, knowing that there was a trap in every word he said.
He weighed it for a moment before saying, "First of all, she usually won't come back unless it's okay, or she hasn't come back since she left. Secondly, according to her, she hasn't contacted you for more than ten years."
"Again, I will die if I can't pet my cat. From now on, I refuse to answer any of your questions."
"I can discuss with you, but I can't be interrogated by you."
This is enough to reveal. If I say any more, the truth will be revealed.
After that, no matter how Fury asked or hinted at it, Lai Mu remained silent or evaded the question.
He has only one core point: if you give me the cat, you can ask me whatever you want. If there is no cat, you can just imagine what to eat.
How could Fury bring the Devourer here? He himself didn't even know where that guy had gone.
Looking at this somewhat willful 'child' who was not afraid of threats, he really had no better solution.
More than ten minutes later, Nick Fury reluctantly said goodbye and left.
Stark sipped his beer and watched Nick Fury walk away. His windbreaker swayed from side to side as he walked. He wondered, "Isn't he hot?"
The head agent finally left. Slime breathed a sigh of relief and spread his hands elegantly. "I'm curious too... but I don't know. You should upgrade Jarvis. Anyone can come in. It's too embarrassing for you, the great Iron Man."
Jarvis, who had been in a semi-downtime state, suddenly agreed, "Sir, I think so too."
Stark nodded thoughtfully, one hand scratching the sofa subconsciously, the gesture was a bit like typing on a keyboard, "Indeed, do you have any good suggestions? Help me study it later?"
Obadiah was able to invade the villa quietly because he had the authority, while Nick Fury had to crack Jarvis' system head-on to be able to get in without making any noise.
In other words, Jarvis' program is no longer safe, its loopholes and backdoors are in the hands of others, and some strange things may have been implanted in it.
Lai Mu got up and left, went upstairs to sleep. When he reached the stairs, he suddenly realized that someone was asking him a question.
He half turned his head, yawned, waved his hand, and even his voice was a little unclear, "Hey... I'm about to move away, so I'm too lazy to help you write code... Good night (dream on)..."
Normally he would be too lazy to do hard labor for Stark, especially now that he was sleepy.
He had just had a passionate confrontation with the world's biggest spy chief, which consumed a lot of his energy. He would eat two more eggs tomorrow morning.
If he had known it would be so tiring, he should have called on the Great Sage to come out and assist. It turned out to be a stretch for him to go on the field himself.
The one-eyed bald man has very sharp eyes. He is always trying to figure out what other people are thinking, as if he can see through people in the next second.
It was very difficult for him to act.
This time, he gave himself an evaluation that it was not too bad, which means he was barely satisfied.
Although he resorted to a rogue strategy in the end, at least the chief agent did not find any flaws, and the information that needed to be conveyed was also delivered.
Nick Fury certainly wouldn't believe it all, but as long as he half believed it, he would have a reason to continue to live in peace.
This kind of information is almost impossible to verify, so he can only be half-believing and half-doubting.
In two or three years, who would be afraid of a mere SHIELD?
After today, there will definitely be closer surveillance from SHIELD, but Lai Mu is not afraid. No one on Earth can escape the detection of the Great Sage.

Outside Stark House.
Nick Fury got into a black stretched bulletproof car that drove quietly.
After getting in the car, it drove away quietly in the night.
The driver was a well-known beauty, Maria Hill, who was wearing a tight black dress and black gloves, and looked heroic yet gentle.
She is also Nick Fury's most trusted lieutenant in S.H.I.E.L.D.
Hill tilted his head slightly and looked at the back seat, with a curious look in his eyes, "What's the result?"
Fury shook his head. "As expected, Stark didn't agree... But it's very interesting."
He casually mentioned joining the Avengers, but Stark ignored him.
Hill was a little confused, "Very interesting?"
Fury smiled, didn't answer, and just looked at the scenery outside the car window.
Street lamps passed by one by one, illuminating the area around the road, but away from the road, in the distance where the street lamps could not reach, there were shadowy black trees.
Fury had expected that he would not be able to convince Tony Stark to join the Avengers. He had never thought that he would be able to convince Tony Stark the first time they met, and this time he came mainly to get to know him in advance.
As for Lemu Etxeberria.
Fury had some doubts about his identity and had speculated that he was an alien, but he never imagined that he knew so many old stories.
He was well versed in Carol's information and seemed to be familiar with himself as well.
If what he said was true, then there would be nothing wrong with it... The problem was that Fury didn't quite believe it.
His intuition told him that the little guy was probably playing a trick on him, but he couldn't find any logical loopholes.
This was the first time he had encountered this in all his years as an agent.
As for the possibility that Carol was captured and revealed information under torture, Fury just thought about it and laughed it off.
She is Captain Marvel who can fight against the fleet with her physical body, who can beat her?
By the way, Fury knew another piece of information.
In the 1990s, a person who looked extremely similar to Lai Mu suddenly appeared and disappeared.
At that time, Fury was just a small employee of S.H.I.E.L.D. and did not know all this. It was only after he became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. that he came into contact with this file.
This file is very special and has extremely high confidentiality, so Nick Fury was deeply impressed by it.
It was so profound that even after several years, he was still able to recall it the moment he saw Lai Mu's photo some time ago.
Files, files... a flash of lightning flashed through Fury's mind...
His face turned serious and he sat up straight, as if he had thought of something.
Chapter 45. Shady Companies in California, USA
The information from the two files was connected in Nick Fury's mind.
The first file records a person who looks almost identical to Lemu. It was created by Howard Stark, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., and contains very little information.
The file originally had more than a dozen pages, but most of them were torn up, leaving only four pages. Part of the text on the four pages was also erased, and only very limited information could be inferred from the few words.
Name: Sophie, gender: female, age: unknown, cold personality, indifferent to humans.
Their physical density is different from that of humans, and they possess powerful supernatural abilities, or magical abilities.
Accompanied by a beam of light descending from the sky, it was an alien who first appeared in New York... and was familiar with Howard.
"That man is familiar with the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D." and the fact that Lemu is close to Tony Stark, these are the real reasons why Nick Fury has not specifically targeted Lemu in recent days.
The other file was of a lower grade, and Nick Fury only saw it by chance. It was more like an archaeological document.
According to it, thousands of years ago, huge pillars of light often descended on the earth in Norway, leaving traces of burning flames on the ground. The locals called it the descent of God, and the descenders called themselves the Aesir.
Coincidentally, Lemu Etxeberria had created an almost identical beam of light yesterday.
...huge pillars of light...irregular time spans...similar appearances...appearing and disappearing at random...
and so!
They must come from the same place, a race called the Aesir!
The so-called Aesir should belong to an alien civilization with advanced magic and technology. This civilization has been paying attention to the Earth for a long time. They may just be observing, or they may have other intentions.
Magic...divination...
If there was the ability to divination in magic...it would all make sense.
So that's it, I know your secret...I win!
Nick Fury smiled with satisfaction, leaned back in the car seat with his hands folded and closed his eyes to rest.

It's been two months since Stark announced that he was Iron Man.
More than a month ago, Musk Stephenson received a big order - to build a new villa on the cliffs along the Malibu coast.
The employer had high requirements, was generous with the money, and I heard that he had a strong background. The hilltop and a large area of land around it were bought, and all departments had smooth processes, and no one dared to stop it.
There is a well-known construction company called Blackhart in California. The company is not very large, but is famous for its efficiency, high quality and high fees.
But what surprised colleagues the most was that the company's boss had a quirk - he liked to supervise the work personally on the construction site.
That’s right, the boss is Stephenson.
During this period, news about Iron Man was all the rage, the stock market continued to rise, and investors were buying like crazy, but these had nothing to do with Stephenson.
Countless people have lost everything they have, leveraging leverage that they are simply unable to repay, and risking eternal damnation for the rest of their lives just to get on board the giant ship of Stark Industries that rides the wind and waves.
Of course, there are also many people who think that Stark is just a temporary illusion of prosperity, and it will fall again sooner or later. These people are trying hard to predict the timing of shorting Stark Industries.
Stephenson didn't care about the ups and downs in the outside world. He just wanted to focus on running the company wholeheartedly.
Stephenson's lifelong dream was to earn enough money to squander for the rest of his life, achieve great freedom in life, and buy an entire island to live out his sinful life without any restrictions.
The construction company was the avenue he chose to realize his dream. It was the place where he placed his earnest hopes and poured all his efforts.
The project is nearly halfway completed and the construction site is extremely busy.
