Earlier, when I was investigating Lake Edwin, I came across some very interesting information."
"…"
Natasha looked at Phil Coulson, who seemed to be deliberately teasing her, shook her head, and said to Coulson, "Phil, can you beat me?"
Coulson said without hesitation: "Of course, I can't beat him!"
Natasha nodded, agreeing with Coulson's words, and then said, "If you continue to be mysterious, believe me, your nose will bleed."
"…"
Coulson opened his mouth, looked at Natasha's serious expression, and chose to follow his heart. He handed the information in his hand to Natasha and said, "Take a look at this. This is Lake Edwin's leave record during his time in the New York Police Department."
Natasha took the information and looked at it.
Next second.
Natasha frowned as she looked at the leave record in the document.
During Lake's tenure at the New York Police Department, except for his last two years, he did not take any leave. In the past few years, he would take leave from the end of January to mid-June every year.
"this..."
Natasha looked at Coulson, opened her mouth, and seemed to think of something, then shook her head as if she hadn't thought of anything. "We already know that Lake Edwin and the Black King have a close relationship."
Yes.
This information can only prove this point at most.
There is no doubt that Lake Edwin and the Black King are two different people. There is a lot of evidence and eyewitnesses that can be provided. Lake has an ironclad alibi during the Black King's activities.
and!
Natasha and Coulson had just met the Black King. In their eyes, the Black King and Lake, apart from the fact that they both liked to wear suits, had completely different facial shapes and features.
What people see is not determined by their eyes, but by their brains.
This is how camouflage glasses work.
He did not change Lake's appearance directly, but changed other people's brains, allowing them to imagine what Lake thought of, thus achieving a perfect disguise effect.
Coulson looked at Natasha and said something a bit fanciful: "But, is it possible that this is just one person?"
Natasha laughed first.
Next second.
Natasha shook her head. "Don't forget, last year, when Lake Edwin was still at the New York Police Department, he didn't ask for leave. Also, Lake Edwin attended the law enforcement security meeting a few days ago in New York."
Coulson sighed, "Yeah, but what about the years before that?"
All right.
After seeing the countless alibis left by Lake, this only correct answer was directly ruled out.
Natasha raised her eyebrows and looked at Coulson: "Do you think that Lake Edwin has been secretly helping the Black King plan this in the past few years?"
Coulson looked at Natasha.
Natasha stood up, pursed her lips, and said, "The reason we know the Black King is here isn't because of what SHIELD Europe said, but because the intelligence department at SHIELD headquarters discovered that a Federation satellite had been artificially redirected to the sky above Budapest. We learned about this after the Department of Homeland Security's New York office took action, didn't they?"
Coulson nodded and continued, following Natasha's guess. "Yes, the New York Operations Command Center discovered the suburban manor in Budapest while observing what the satellite was observing. That's when Deputy Director Fury notified us and rushed us."
Said.
Coulson and Natasha looked at each other and felt that they seemed to have grasped the point.
After a while.
Coulson and Natasha reread the data about Lake Edwin.
"look."
Natasha found the only document they had of Lake's military operations and handed it to Coulson: "Lake Edwin once participated in a plan codenamed [Operation Freedom]. The next day, Liberia was overthrown."
One sentence.
If what happened here was viewed not as a struggle between two extraordinary races, but as a so-called country, then the actions displayed that night were too fast, accurate and ruthless.
Just one night.
The opposition led by Lucian was killed directly, and Emilia's two political enemies were also killed by Lucian. After that, Emilia directly reached the top with the prestige of killing Lucian.
This action was precise and ruthless, and it was filled with a strong sense of federal freedom.
Coulson took the information and looked at it carefully.
after.
Coulson and Natasha looked at each other again, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
The Black King is just a killer, and an outsider would not understand such operations at all. But Lake Edwin, an elite federal officer and an elite soldier who has won the Purple Heart Medal, is undoubtedly proficient in this as he has participated in and carried out freedom operations.
Looking at Lake Edwin's leave record?
Before the action, they would scout the location for years, plan secretly, and remain motionless.
But once the action begins, it is direct, fast, accurate and ruthless, staying out of the matter and not giving the outside world any handle at all.
This is definitely federal freedom style.
Coulson and Natasha were shocked to realize that they seemed to have guessed the truth.
Can...
When Coulson immediately contacted Nick Fury who was already in the European SHIELD branch, he reported their speculations and findings to Nick Fury.
Nick Fury wasn't as happy as they thought.
reason?
Although this is very similar to the federal free style, don't forget that the vampire clan is a clan, not a so-called country in the secular world. It is a race that relies entirely on the superiors.
The most important point.
This is still an extraordinary race, which cannot be compared with those black people in Africa who only believe in shooting and carry AKs.
Even if I knew, what could I do?
Directly announce the speculated findings of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
good.
Even if the vampires believed it and chaos broke out, Emilia was still the only vampire queen who controlled a legacy and the most powerful vampire army.
Chaos?
It will only implicate the secular world. When the Security Council holds people accountable, they may first deal with the vampire clan, but the blame will fall heavily on S.H.I.E.L.D.
besides...
Now the matter within the vampire world has been settled.
Nick Fury rubbed his brow and said to Coulson and Natasha, "Just now, the VAM Consortium officially changed its name to the Immortal Consortium. At the same time, our friends in Italy also sent a message that Queen Emilia is the Queen of the Immortal Royal Family."
This external name change already makes one thing clear.
Emilia's coronation as the queen of the Immortal Royal Family is a foregone conclusion. All vampires belonging to the VAM Consortium have completed all the integration and honored Emilia as the queen.
If this matter were to be made public, the biggest consequence would be that SHIELD would come into direct conflict with this new immortal royal family. There would be no other outcome.
After all, these speculations are just speculations. Just like the assassination of Morin Hand, they have no evidence. Moreover, judging from the speed of integration at the speed of light, the Immortal Vampire Clan will not let them intervene in the investigation.
"What?"
"So fast."
Coulson and Natasha frowned as they listened to Nick Fury's latest intelligence: "Victor and Marcus..."
Nick Fury directly sent a S.H.I.E.L.D. satellite image.
Coulson and Natasha looked over.
Nick Fury said, "This is a S.H.I.E.L.D. energy satellite. Two hours after the explosion at Victor Manor, our S.H.I.E.L.D. energy satellite detected a powerful energy burst above the Immortal Queen's castle. The energy equivalent of this burst is almost as strong as the ultimate weapon we dropped on Japan that year."
Coulson and Natasha stopped talking.
Nick Fury put away the satellite image and said directly, "Also, your mission is not to investigate the truth of this incident. Remember, your mission is to meet with the Immortal Queen and sign a new supernatural agreement with her on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D."
This is the purpose of SHIELD's visit this time.
The previous non-interference agreement was signed between SHIELD and the VAM Consortium.
But right now.
The VAM consortium is gone, and only this new Immortal Consortium remains.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
The five bigwigs of the Security Council were not optimistic about the situation, so they wanted the Immortal Queen to sign a new non-interference agreement with the Security Council.
treatment...
At worst, just like the Volturi Undead Royal Family in Italy, they could give them a small European town, or make the small town near the border between Hungary and Austria where the Immortal Castle is located an autonomous town for the Immortal Blood Clan.
In short, the Security Council didn't care about the cause of this incident. They only saw that VM lost and the winner was the Immortal Royal Family. That was enough. They didn't care about anything else.
Coulson and Natasha frowned, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
After all, whether it was the Black King or Lake Edwin, they were already enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D., and now they had finally caught a handle on them, but they just let it go. This...
Nick Fury said with a serious expression: "Did you hear that? Don't do anything unnecessary. At least, we can't do this."
It's also very simple to do this.
Ability to face the worst outcome and control the impact.
But unfortunately, SHIELD does not have this strength.
At least not right now.
Calling the Earth to cast?
hehe.
This matter may be resolved, but the next target that the Security Council has to deal with is the vote on Earth that Nick Fury called over.
Coulson and Natasha looked at each other, and finally said helplessly: "Understood, sir!"
Nick Fury disconnected the communication directly.
But Nick Fury, Coulson, and Natasha didn't know that the conversation, which was conducted using the European Aegis communications satellite, was intercepted.
At the same time.
An agent knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, he pushed it open and said, "Sir, there's a lady named Serena outside. She said she's here to pick you up."
Coulson and Natasha: "..."
