Boss, please take your time..."
John Jameson obsequiously pushed open the office door.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, he diligently escorted Karl to the elevator before finally stopping.
The employees in the office who witnessed this scene all had bewildered expressions.
When had their irritable and extremely sharp-tongued boss ever shown such a humble demeanor?
Could he have been possessed by something unclean?
What was the background of that handsome young man?
Or did that young man use his superpowers to control Boss Jameson's mind?
Just as everyone was whispering.
John Jameson suddenly turned around, his face already back to its usual harsh expression, and he sternly rebuked:
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get back to work! Am I paying you to take a vacation?"
"Also, tell the TV station to prepare immediately. In 10 minutes... no, in 5 minutes, I'm going to do a live TV broadcast myself. We absolutely cannot let this super big news be stolen by others!"
...
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Sitwell was reporting the current situation to Alexander Pierce via video call.
"Officer, although we have temporarily detained Sokovia's spokesperson, it's almost impossible to completely cover up this matter.
The news will undoubtedly spread soon, so we should make plans early!"
"That bastard Strucker only knows how to cause trouble for me."
Alexander Pierce on the other end of the screen was almost driven to a rampage by anger and immediately roared:
"I don't care what method you use, this matter will absolutely not involve us..."
However.
Before he could finish speaking, an Agent behind him walked in hurriedly.
"Officer, it's bad. Dr. Zola just issued a warning. News about Sokovia and Hydra on the internet is increasing exponentially."
"And the source seems to be related to the news broadcast currently being conducted by The Daily Bugle..."
Upon hearing this, Alexander Pierce's face darkened as he searched for The Daily Bugle's program column on the big screen.
After clicking it, John Jameson's interview was playing inside.
"I believe all viewers have seen the reports and videos just now. Now, with irrefutable evidence, the Hydra organization, which should have been eliminated in World War II, has actually been resurrected.
These years, they have also been operating under the Security Council's banner, extensively conducting inhumane human experiments in Sokovia, brutally murdering hundreds of innocent civilians..."
Then John Jameson played two videos of Karl fighting HYDRA forces.
And after the videos ended, he continued indignantly:
"Viewers, perhaps you don't know, it is that mysterious glowing warrior in these two videos,
who, like a God descending, saved the war-torn civilians in Sokovia,
and completely ended the war, allowing this unstable nation to regain its former peace!"
"Without a doubt, his heroic deeds will be recorded in the annals of humanity, and this glowing warrior will surely become one of the greatest Super Heroes in human history!!!"
"Additionally, according to informed sources, Sokovia's official spokesperson has formally submitted a request for 600 billion yuan in humanitarian compensation to the Security Council at today's General Assembly meeting."
"Let's wait and see. Follow The Daily Bugle, your old friend Jameson will continue to provide you with firsthand fresh inside information..."
"Damn it, what's going on?"
Alexander Pierce's face had already turned ashen.
He furiously shouted at Sitwell:
"Why did the news spread so quickly! Who leaked the information in advance?!"
"Ah, this..." Sitwell was also bewildered.
The meeting had just ended.
But The Daily Bugle had already obtained the firsthand information.
This was clearly intentional.
Needless to say, the biggest suspect was naturally Zemo.
Recalling what the other party said before leaving, Sitwell's heart instantly sank.
This cunning fellow actually made two preparations?!
It's over, this time something big might really happen!
"Officer, I'll call The Daily Bugle immediately to suspend their program,
and at the same time, have Dr. Zola deal with the related videos and information on the internet. I believe this should help reduce the heat."
This was the best solution Sitwell could think of at the moment.
"It's too late."
Alexander Pierce, who had calmed down, shook his head slightly and refused:
"Once this matter is largely exposed, it will inevitably attract widespread attention from all sectors of society.
Facing this level of public opinion, even if Dr. Zola takes action, he cannot suppress it."
"Right now, we can only choose to cut off a limb to save the body..."
After a moment of thought, Alexander Pierce directly gave a precise decision.
"Immediately send people to clear out those Agents who participated in the loki's scepter transfer incident, and then directly hand over this matter to Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. to handle."
"As for that good-for-nothing Strucker, let him fend for himself from now on!"
"Yes."
The situation was exactly as Alexander Pierce had predicted.
The exclusive news content reported by The Daily Bugle directly ignited the internet and major social media platforms within a few hours.
And then the entire World was shaken!
Although the videos deliberately edited out the relevant bloody scenes.
They still brought endless despair to the viewers.
Hydra's evil deeds in Sokovia were scorned by the World.
Overwhelming angry comments, and criticisms of the Security Council's inaction, filled the message boards of major social media.
The official website of the General Assembly, at the center of the public opinion storm.
Was even directly crashed by countless "mob" attacks on its servers.
And the "after-the-fact" major news media, after obtaining John Jameson's consent, reprinted The Daily Bugle's news content one after another.
And launched a new round of encirclement against Hydra and the Security Council.
On the other hand, the Security Council.
When faced with this sudden storm of public opinion, was directly caught off guard.
The high-level officials were furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
Subsequently, the Security Council dispatched a spokesperson and urgently held a press conference to clarify the matter.
Stating that the Security Council was unaware of this, and that it was all Hydra's secret doing...
However.
Such a clarification was destined to be a drop in the ocean.
Now that the situation had developed to this point, whether the Security Council was aware or not was no longer important.
What was truly important was that the public believed you were aware, so you had to take the blame for Hydra!!!
