Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 1002 - 802: Determination_3

When Natasha saw it was Tao Yu, she was visibly tired but still forced a charming smile and straightened her imposing leather jacket.

She clasped her hands together pitifully and made a small bow.

"Please, can we use words today?"

After saying this, she made a circle gesture with her fingers and squeezed her chest slightly.

"Why is your mind always in the gutter? Take me to see Fury."

Tao Yu rolled his eyes at Natasha, leaving her speechless and staring at the ceiling, thinking to herself, who’s the one really... Okay, fine, this is my fault!

Under the lead of Natasha, a veteran employee of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tao Yu officially made his way into the spy agency.

However, many of the agents there didn’t find his presence too unfamiliar, though they still appeared curious about him.

Tao Yu casually glanced around.

Judging from the results of his several divination sessions, Fury was indeed quite capable.

Even though he couldn’t completely eradicate all of Hydra from S.H.I.E.L.D., he had managed to bring the agency back to life from the ashes.

Even after the sudden loss of almost eighty percent of their personnel, Fury had managed to recruit fresh blood from places like Faber and other institutions.

Overall, the organization had returned under his control.

He had truly regained his grasp.

Natasha led Tao Yu to one of Fury’s many offices and knocked on the door.

Tao Yu could hear the egghead inside seemingly livestreaming.

"Oh, can you all guess who’s arrived? It’s none other than your beloved and most beautiful agent, Natasha!"

Nick Fury raised his voice as if he’d suddenly unlocked some hidden Black talent, and his voice now carried a hint of a hip-hop vibe.

This made Tao Yu feel like Fury had completely switched genres.

However, as Fury pressed the button to open the door, Natasha’s voice came through the crack first.

"Director Fury, there’s something rather important."

Hearing her, Fury reluctantly turned to the camera and said to his audience,

"As you can hear, folks, I’m sorry, but the livestream will have to end here for now..."

Fury’s announcement made the chat blow up instantly.

"What are you planning to do with Natasha?!"

"Damn it! Office! Hot secret agent! Damn it!"

"Is this a paywall feature now?"

"I knew you weren’t up to any good!"

"Hurry up, drop the link already—this must be the midnight channel, right?"

"..."

Ignoring the chaos in the comment section, Fury noticed Tao Yu as the door opened.

This made him unconsciously rise from his chair, a smile spreading across his face.

"I didn’t expect it to be Mr. Jack. Looks like Mr. Stark conveyed my request. You’ve come at just the right time."

Tao Yu, noticing Fury’s change in demeanor, couldn’t help but feel it was hard to associate this guy with the stoic, badass poser from the movies.

Seeing Fury suddenly adopting this stereotypical "traditional Black" persona felt almost comical to Tao Yu.

Still, he could sense that despite Fury’s surface-level showmanship, the man exuded an underlying grimness...

——

Bam! Bam! Bam~

The sound of punches hitting a sandbag echoed throughout the training room, each strike heavy enough to make the bag shake violently.

This was definitely beyond the capability of an average human.

Under Fury’s guidance, Tao Yu arrived at the scene and saw a muscular young man intensely working over the punching bag.

The man wore nothing but a sleeveless sports vest, revealing a nearly perfect set of well-defined muscles.

Every punch was powerful and firm.

"No wonder he’s a successful subject of the Super Soldier Program—this really is the human body’s standard limit."

Tao Yu remarked with genuine admiration.

Though "Cap" had turned into a widespread meme online, that was mainly due to certain grandstanding by you-know-who in the West.

As for the man himself, while his double standards when it came to Bucky could be irritating, his moral compass was undeniably high.

Maybe not entirely a "Holy Mother," but close enough.

Because of this, Tao Yu didn’t harbor any particular prejudice against him.

It seemed Steve Rogers had heard the noise behind him. He hastened his punches against the bag before delivering a charged blow that burst it entirely.

Only after that did he turn around to look at Fury and the accompanying Tao Yu.

"Officer, is this the doctor you mentioned?"

Steve looked toward Tao Yu with curiosity.

After waking up from his icy suspension, Steve’s mind had been in turmoil.

Even knowing they had technically won, the modern world’s massive changes left him feeling like an antique—hopelessly out of place.

Other than spending time alone in the training room for rehab exercises, he had grown increasingly introverted.

"Yes, this is Mr. Jack, a very distinguished guest."

Fury emphasized Tao Yu’s significant VIP status.

Using the term "distinguished" actually surprised Steve somewhat.

Since his revival, the person he interacted with the most had been Fury, so he felt he had a decent read on the man.

For Fury to give such a formal introduction, this person must be special.

"No need for all the formality. Just think of me as an ordinary doctor."

Tao Yu smiled as he sized up Steve.

"Although prolonged freezing has indeed affected your body’s functions, the transformation from the Super Soldier Potion is comprehensive. Your condition is recovering rapidly, so I presume my visit isn’t just about dealing with the aftermath of defrosting?"

Tao Yu shot Fury a sideways glance.

He figured this guy was probably up to something, maybe trying to cozy up to him for some reason.
