Chapter 99: Chapter: 99
"Sir, it's that vehicle." In a small town called Puente Antiguo in the state of New Mexico, Mark and the others saw the tracked vehicle under the guidance of an agent.
"Wow, look at the modifications on this car and the exquisite equipment. This person is bound to achieve great things. Coulson, should I sponsor Dr. Erik Selvig's research? Maybe when he receives the Nobel Prize, he'll come up on stage and thank me."
At first glance, Mark saw the astronomical observation instruments and data collection devices installed on the roof of the car, and he could tell that the owner possessed extraordinary knowledge and practical skills.
"I dare not make that decision for you, but now we need to search this vehicle. If any damage or loss occurs, I think you can support us beforehand because I'll need to compensate the owner later. Agents, go ahead, but be careful with your actions!"
This time, Mark didn't bring his handy Miniature Magnetic Axial Robots with him, so he just stood on the side, watching as the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents unloaded the items one by one. He even made some comments on some scientific instruments, expressing his admiration and approval of the creators.
"Hey, stop right there! What's going on here?" Just as the S.H.I.E.L.D. moving company was working diligently, three people, two women and one man, rushed in from outside.
Coulson, who had already conducted background checks, immediately recognized the woman who spoke up to stop them. She was Jane Foster, an astronomer who worked with Dr. Erik Selvig, and beside her was her friend and assistant, Darcy Lewis. The man was none other than the owner of the car, Dr. Erik Selvig.
"Please step back, Miss Jane Foster. I am Agent Phil Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D." Facing the angrily barging individuals, Coulson stepped forward to intercept them.
"Do any of these things you're saying mean anything to me? You can't do this. It's an illegal seizure of private property." Jane completely disregarded Coulson's attempt to stop her and angrily confronted him.
"Jane!" At this point, Eric, who had more experience and wisdom, immediately stepped forward to stop Jane from continuing her outburst. "The situation has already become complicated. Please don't get involved anymore."
Eric had already figured out that Coulson and his team were from a special government agency, and he didn't want Jane to jeopardize her promising future by angering them.
"Don't interfere! This is my life's work. We have put so much effort into this research. Are you asking me to stand by and watch as they take away the research data we painstakingly collected?" As she thought about this, Jane's emotions grew even more agitated. One could even see the veins popping on her neck.
"I feel the same way. Coulson, your actions are indeed inappropriate. You don't even have a search warrant, yet you dare to do something like this in broad daylight. Is it a distortion of humanity or a loss of morals?" Hearing the commotion, Mark also approached. He wanted to see if Thor, who had been stripped of his divine powers, was with Jane Foster.
However, upon seeing the figures clearly, Mark knew his expectations were dashed.
"Oh, my goodness! Are you Mark Stark?" Daisy, who heard Mark's voice and looked towards him, immediately recognized this influential figure who had recently risen to fame. "I'm your super fan!"
"Oh, really? Which product under my company's umbrella do you like the most?" Mark asked with interest.
"Well... I like them all, but I can't afford any of them," Daisy said somewhat embarrassed.
"That's okay. However, we are investigating a security threat, and these agents need to requisition the astronomical records and atmospheric data stored in your car. To apologize for taking them without asking, I can sponsor the funds you'll need for your upcoming research and also provide each of you with a full-pack of Mark Research Center's products."
"You see, you admit it. This is taking without permission. So-called requisitioning is just..." Jane didn't calm down because of Mark's promises. "These things aren't something you can buy on Amazon. Most of the equipment is assembled by myself!"
"I believe you can reassemble everything again with the funds provided by Mark," Coulson interjected, trying to persuade her.
"And I'm sure I can sue you for violating the rights granted to me by the Constitution!" Jane persisted.
"Sigh... Calm down, beautiful lady. Don't be fooled by Coulson's seemingly easy-to-bully middle-aged balding appearance. He's a ruthless executioner who leaves no bones behind. I was forced to come here to help him and that terrifying one-eyed director under their threats."
For your own safety, it's better to accept my conditions and stop bothering us. I promise you that after we've organized and copied the data we need, we will return everything intact. I swear in the name of Mark Stark."
As a research fanatic, Mark could also understand Jane's current state of mind. Having one's hard-earned research achievements forcibly taken away like this would undoubtedly be infuriating. The time and effort he had invested couldn't be simply measured in terms of money.
After listening to Mark's words, Jane also calmed down a bit. "We are on the verge of discovering something extraordinary, and everything I know about this phenomenon is in this mobile lab and my notes. I hope you can 100% guarantee that you will fulfill your promise and my belongings will be safe."
"Thank you for your cooperation!"
