"The Cosmic Cube means inexhaustible energy, and this is exactly what the Earth needs. We will not give it up." Nick Fury shook his head. Behind the danger are huge benefits, and the profits are enough to make the Earth take risks.

Typical of not crying until you see the coffin!

Duke shook his head. "It's true that danger and opportunity coexist. The Space Gem can bring about a rapid development of the Earth, but the danger behind it far exceeds the Earth's tolerance. I know you are reluctant to part with the Space Gem, but you don't know how to use it. Don't take chances. Alien forces only need to start a war to make the Earth regress to the Stone Age. The Earth can't afford to take that risk."

Nick Fury was stubborn: "How can we know the outcome if we don't take a gamble? Maybe the Earth can win the bet! The gap between us and the cosmic forces is too big. This is an opportunity to catch up with them."

Duke was amused. He didn't expect that the African had such a lovely side. Perhaps the profit blinded his one-eyed eyes and made him willing to take a gamble. It was estimated that only after he truly saw the gap between Earth and alien civilization, he knew that giving up was a virtue.

Duke is certainly not naive enough to think that the Space Stone is controlled by SHIELD. Nick Fury must have the authorization of the Security Council, and only they have the qualifications and power to gamble with the future of the earth.

Duke stopped trying to persuade them. If they continued, their purpose would be too obvious. He changed his tone and said, "I am just kindly reminding you that the choice is in your hands. Just don't disturb my peaceful life. However, I still want to say one last thing. Since this gem is so powerful, why did its previous owner Odin abandon it and leave it on Earth? Even when the Red Skull took it away and developed energy weapons, he turned a blind eye? Isn't Asgard jealous of unlimited energy?"

Duke showed an excited expression on his face, but finally he sighed and said, "I'll think about it again. Let's stop here today."

Duke doesn't have a lot of the technology here, but there are many technologically advanced planets in the Dragon Ball world, and if you spend some time looking for it, you can probably get it. Duke guarantees with his integrity that he didn't make fun of Nick Fury.

Duke smiled and said nothing. He turned around and looked at Natasha: "This beauty looks familiar. I wanted to ask you just now, have we met before?"

Nick Fury's body shook, his expression unchanged. Steve and the other two were not as cunning as him. After hearing Duke's words, their faces suddenly turned pale. The three of them looked at each other and could no longer sit still.

"These technologies are top-notch in the universe. What can you offer in exchange? Apart from the Space Gem, I don't care about anything else on Earth. Don't even mention the space carrier, an antique that can't even fly out of the atmosphere. Only collectors would be interested in it." Duke tempted, playing hard to get, "But the Space Gem is too hot to handle. I don't want to be targeted, so this deal is off."

Nick Fury was overjoyed and couldn't wait to look at it. Natasha and Coulson behind him couldn't help but take a few glances. They couldn't stop looking and took a few breaths.

After that, without waiting for Nick Fury to say anything else, he stood up and sent the few people out.

Natasha also looked at Nick Fury curiously. Steve spoke up and assisted Duke: "I think it's best to replace it. That thing is too dangerous and cannot be left on Earth. From the doctor's tone, it doesn't sound fake."

Nick Fury suddenly figured it out, or rather, compared to the space gem which was useless and could only be used to extract energy, the technology in Duke's hands was more suitable for Earth.

Duke raised his eyebrows, and under Nick Fury's expectant gaze, he took out a stack of A4 paper from his desk and placed it in front of him.

Nick Fury: "It's because it's too dangerous that I want to throw it away. I don't expect to protect the cosmic treasure that even the Asgardian gods avoid with a few sky carriers that can't even fly out of the atmosphere. Instead of inviting powerful enemies to the Earth, it's better to learn from Odin and find a buyer to take over. If it can bring a big leap in Earth's technology, it would be the best."

The implication was to send him away, but Nick Fury was thick-skinned and finally made up his mind to meet Duke. Of course, he wanted to get some benefits: "Mr. Duke, the earth is currently facing internal and external troubles. You are also considered a member of the earth. Can you provide some technology sharing? Of course, we won't take it for free. We can exchange it for equal value."

In the clinic, Duke's lips curled slightly. He certainly didn't think that he had deceived Nick Fury with his acting skills. He did this just to be mysterious and disrupt the other party's thinking, so that he couldn't see his purpose clearly.

Two men sitting on a rock...killing two birds with one stone! Nick Fury doesn't care if Duke is acting or not, he is indeed frightened. Odin left the Space Stone on Earth...it's terrifying to think about it!

"Maybe!" Duke shrugged and said to Nick Fury, "That's all I have to say. You can do whatever you want. You've asked all the questions you should ask. I have nothing more to say."

Nick Fury raised his hand to stop Natasha from continuing. He glanced at the three of them and said to Duke, "The development of the Cosmic Cube is only to increase the power of self-defense for the Earth. More and more cosmic forces are appearing on Earth. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

Nick Fury was fascinated by the scene, but after hearing Duke's words, he felt a bucket of cold water poured down his heart. Finally, he gritted his teeth and retracted his gaze, pushed back a stack of A4 papers, and said, trying to hold back the pain in his heart: "I'm very sorry, except for the Cosmic Cube, we don't have anything that can be exchanged for an equivalent value."

"Boss, do you really want to exchange it for the Cosmic Cube?" Coulson asked. Even though they knew that the Space Stone was its real name, they still had a preconceived idea and called it the Cosmic Cube.

Duke's repeated refusal dispelled Nick Fury's doubts. He felt that Duke was not interested in the Cosmic Cube, so he was relieved and took the initiative to say, "Even if the owner of the Cosmic Cube is looking for it, the universe is so big, it will take some time, right? This period of time is enough for you to explore the ability of the Cosmic Cube and earn a lot of value."

The Space Gem is of great use to Duke, and he is determined to get it, but there are some tricks to getting it.

"Captain, please always remember your identity." Nick Fury said coldly, "First, you are an Earthling, second, you are the spirit of America, and finally, you are his friend... and you are only one-sided in your opinion, right?"

"Well, maybe it's because I have a common face!" Natasha forced a smile. It was the pain of her life, but seeing the Hulk kneel down, she felt much better. She thought this unpleasant experience was already a thing of the past, but she didn't expect Duke to be so petty and bring it up to tease her.

In fact, this is true. When the Chitauri came to Earth to open up wasteland, the Security Council acquiesced to Nick Fury's actions and let Thor take it away from Earth.

He just came to ask about the situation in Asgard, so why did he go astray in the end?

reason?

Two business cars slowly drove away from the clinic. In the car, Nick Fury frowned and recalled everything that happened today in his mind, savoring every word and expression of Duke, and suddenly found something was wrong.

Natasha whispered: "Boss, I think..."

Nick Fury was secretly delighted. He had seen too many expressions like this. He knew that if he tried to persuade her again, it would work. "You once told Ms. Carter that the Tesseract is the key to all worlds. This means that you know how to use the Tesseract. When the owner of the Tesseract finds it, you can completely hide in another world."

Steve blinked, this scene seemed familiar.

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Duke, as if he was hinting at something.

"Wouldn't it be better to return it to Asgard..." Steve hesitated.

Steve remained silent.

Duke's expression remained unchanged as he refused bluntly: "Do you really think the Space Stone is an asset of the Earth? Its owner is looking for it, and the Earth is just a passer-by. You are not qualified to use it as collateral."

There was only a long list on the paper without a single word about the core content. It looked like Duke had just painted a pie in the sky for him, but Nick Fury believed it, deeply believed it.

"Because Odin can't afford the risk. If this gem is touched, Asgard will be plunged into endless war and eventually reduced to ashes. As for the Earth... Haha, you guys better take care of yourself and be careful not to be used as a gun by others." Duke dragged Odin into the water without blushing or breathing heavily. He always felt that Odin was trying to divert trouble away.

Duke said, "I'm thinking about you. I'm heartbroken that you're so stubborn!"

"No! It's too dangerous, the risk outweighs the gain." A hint of hesitation flashed across Duke's face, and his expression changed several times. In the end, he gritted his teeth and refused.

"Why the doctor? Wouldn't it be better to let Thor take the Tesseract?" Steve frowned. Duke had done him a great favor. From what Nick Fury said, it was clear that he wanted to trick Duke. Naturally, Steve didn't want to do that.

"Planetary ecosphere transformation technology, fourth and fifth cosmic speed engine blueprints, space capsule technology, plasma interstellar shield technology, planetary space battleship blueprints, pan-aerospace-grade metal material molecular model illustrations, anti-star-class beam star destroyer cannons, anti-ship-class beam ion cannons..." Duke listed them all, and every time he mentioned one, Nick Fury's breathing became heavier.

Nick Fury was silent, and Steve and the other two also fell silent, lowering their heads and falling into deep thought.

"Yes!" Nick Fury's eyes flashed, "They are not idiots. They know the interests involved better than anyone else. Because once the aliens occupy the earth, they will be nothing. They are the most anxious group."

Duke smiled and said, "A loan relationship... What are you going to use as collateral? Earth? Sorry, you can't represent Earth, and the Security Council is not qualified. Interstellar law stipulates that only when more than 95% of intelligent life agrees can the mother planet be used as collateral. I am a law-abiding person and don't want to cause trouble for myself. Besides, the procedures are too complicated and I don't have that much time." Nick Fury wiped the non-existent sweat. He was under a lot of pressure after hearing a series of incomprehensible but powerful words. He tried, "How about the Space Stone?"

"Will the Security Council agree?" Coulson raised the key point.

"Then there's nothing to talk about!" Duke shook his head regretfully, and put the A4 paper into the drawer under Nick Fury's gaze as if his son had died.

"Mr. Duke, can't you provide technical assistance? Or we can establish a loan relationship..." Nick Fury still didn't give up, staring at the drawer in his office eagerly, as if his one eye could see through things.

Didn't you see that the Ancient One came in person? She has been working for many years as the Earth's guardian against the evil spirits in the universe. Her appearance proves Duke's identity as an alien. As an alien, he has black technology that far exceeds that of the Earth, which is in line with his identity. If Duke said that he had nothing, Nick Fury would be suspicious.

The appearance of Thor means that his good brother Loki will be expelled from Asgard. It won't be long before the Chitauri army will descend on New York. That will be the best chance to get the Space Stone.

Asgard, the Chitauri, the Earth, and other hidden cosmic forces, he made some moves and fished in troubled waters. Who would have known that the Space Stone would be taken away by him in the end?

With Duke's current strength, Nick Fury would have to smile if he tried to snatch the Space Stone. But Duke didn't want to do that. As the rear base for many world research, he needed a stable space. The Marvel world was very complicated, and he didn't want to become the target of public criticism.
