Even though Nick Fury could bring the dead back to life with his clever words, he couldn't find any excuse to refute Minister Kelly's three questions that hit his soul's weaknesses after thinking for a long time.
At the beginning, Victoria Hand also told him that Lake had given all the investigation rights to SHIELD. SHIELD suspected that there might be some conspiracy, but after thinking for a long time, they couldn't find it.
Hulk?
Indeed, after all, what they were dealing with this time was the information about a one-eyed demon giant they got from London SHIELD, so they wanted the military to cooperate with the operation, and this was a win-win situation, so the military did not refuse at the beginning.
Ultimately, the worst part comes with the third question.
It is an indisputable fact that SHIELD shot at Hulk and there is no room for rebuttal.
After all, Hulk has the advantage of height, and it was already very good that the SHIELD agents remained restrained when they saw Hulk for the first time, but when Hulk faced them, their psychological quality was very important.
If Hulk was facing a group of ordinary people, he would probably have fallen down to show his surrender, but Hulk was facing a group of secret agencies and SHIELD agents with guns in their hands.
then...
The gunpowder exploded directly.
Nick Fury thought so in his heart, took a deep breath, and said directly to the President: "Mr. President, the most important thing right now is that escaped..."
Minister Kelly interrupted again, looking at the President. "The New York City mayor and governor have stated that the federal government must respond to this matter. Mr. President, I suggest that all authority of New York SHIELD be frozen, that they be suspended immediately, and that they undergo disciplinary review by the State of New York."
Nick Fury's eyes widened. "Suspended? There's a demon wreaking havoc over New York right now."
How to play without S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Minister Kelly said expressionlessly, "If S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't been involved in this incident, I believe that the destroyed block wouldn't have existed."
Said.
Secretary Kelly turned to the president and said, "Mr. President, this case involves a suspected terrorist attack and should be handled by the Department of Homeland Security."
The President looked at Secretary Kelly and asked, "Can you handle this?"
Minister Kelly said, "I am confident that Director Lake Edwin will be able to handle this matter appropriately."
"This is a demon."
"When did S.H.I.E.L.D. switch to exorcism?"
"…"
That afternoon.
Lake reconnected with Secretary Kelly via video call.
"minister!"
"Lake."
Minister Kelly reappeared on the big screen: "Congratulations, the case is back in your hands."
Lake raised an eyebrow.
Has the accountability result come out?
Is S.H.I.E.L.D. in danger?
Lake asked, "Minister, has S.H.I.E.L.D. finally been taken down?"
Minister Kelly shook his head. "No, but from this moment on, New York SHIELD will immediately cease all activities, freeze all New York SHIELD permissions, and accept questioning and investigation by the special prosecutor appointed by the President. Even if the investigation proves that New York SHIELD has no problems, New York SHIELD will be transferred back to Washington."
Lake touched his chin: "This result..."
Minister Kelly said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. still has its value and will not be easily eliminated. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. will have no chance of intervening in your territory, Director Edwin of the Paranormal Activity Detection and Action Bureau."
Lake was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"Super Investigation Bureau?"
"On the surface, the BOS can take over S.H.I.E.L.D.'s functions in New York State. As for other places, haha, my Department of Homeland Security is not afraid of S.H.I.E.L.D. either. Well done, Lake."
"...Understood, Minister."
"Um."
Does S.H.I.E.L.D. still have value in existence?
What value.
There is no soil for S.H.I.E.L.D. to survive in the East, Russia, and the Federation. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. was established by the five overlords after all. It cannot control the affairs of the five overlords, but it can control the affairs of other countries. The S.H.I.E.L.D. signboard signed by the Security Council is still useful.
This may be the reason why the Federation does not want to ban S.H.I.E.L.D.
quite a while.
Lake smiled. After many twists and turns, the case was finally back in his hands. Lake was a little surprised about this, but it was also within his expectations.
Accident?
Only Lake himself knew that at that time, he was already thinking about doing voluntary labor and giving the credit for killing the demon to S.H.I.E.L.D.
But S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operation hurt his waist.
Lake thought that the reason why SHIELD took over this case was probably because they thought that when they were in doubt, Gemini Saga would appear just like he appeared in the Manhattan Building.
Unfortunately, they were wrong.
The first time Lake took action was because the case belonged to the Department of Homeland Security, so Saga showed up.
Afterwards.
The crazy Hulk, unless Saga also goes all out, but the price will be that Riker will also become one of the executioners who destroy the block.
Unless he uses props.
But why?
The same thing.
Facing S.H.I.E.L.D., it is a great mercy for Lake not to kick someone when they are down. Do you expect him to clean up S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mess?
What kind of beautiful dream are you having in broad daylight?
at the moment?
Without a doubt.
Irrelevant people have been eliminated. It is time to let the true light, the Saints who symbolize love and justice, protect this city.
The call ended.
The Homeland Security agent stared at the real-time satellite image of New York City and said, "Sir."
Lake stopped just as he was about to turn around and looked at the big screen.
On the big screen.
Over Long Island, New York, Iron Man came roaring in, and with a thud, he landed steadily on the Long Island wind power station.
Lake raised an eyebrow.
I almost forgot about this guy who was basically just a bystander throughout last night.
Lake thought so in his heart and turned to walk out of the combat center.
In the evening.
Coming?
There is no doubt that what the Department of Homeland Security can find out, the extremely intelligent Tony Stark can also find out. Just when Tony Stark once again adjusted his battle suit and prepared to wait here, Tony opened his eyes, and then saw a silver Porsche Cayenne honking its horn coming from a distance.
Didi!
Lake honked the horn, and got out of the car with Saga, who was sitting in the passenger seat. He said to Tony, who was not far away: "Tony, what are you doing here?"
Tony's eyes fell on Saga, who was also wearing a suit and standing next to Lake, ignoring Lake: "You're here?"
Lake's mouth twitched.
Good job.
I am transparent.
Saga looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting dark. You should leave. Staying here is useless."
Tony said, "If you are so good, why didn't you show up yesterday?"
Saga's expression was indifferent: "Falling asleep."
Tony: "…"
Fell asleep?
Tony opened his mouth, feeling speechless about Lake's conversation.
but...
In fact, when Tony said what he said last night, he already felt that he shouldn't have said it. In a word, the difference between Tony and SHIELD is that he doesn't blame others for his mistakes.
Why did you ask Saga to come out last night?
but...
Tony felt a little guilty about what happened last night. He originally thought that he had the battle suit and that the suit could do something useful in his hands. However, he suddenly discovered that in yesterday's battle, the role he imagined was not what it showed, and he was almost a bystander the whole time.
This reminded Tony of something else.
Tony glanced at Lake, who was leaning against the hood of the car, then looked at the handsome Saga with flowing blond hair and said, "Can punching 10,000 times in a row really turn you into this?"
Saga glanced at Tony, whose mask popped open, then turned to Lake and said, "You told him."
Lake shrugged. "Who told you to ask everyone you meet if they feel the power of the microcosm? This guy asked me, and I happened to know, so I told him."
Saga nodded and looked at Tony again: "So, did you feel it?"
Tony's trigeminal nerve is twitching. I asked you if punching 10,000 times would be enough. You asked me if I could feel it, and I felt a poverty.
In fact, Tony tried it after he returned yesterday. As a result, when he hit the 125th time, Tony felt that it seemed to be complete. Jarvis also spoke at that time. According to the existing information, punching 10,000 times in a row will only cripple your arms and will not awaken anything else.
Although he knew the existence of theology, Tony Stark was still a technological genius.
Lake, who was over there, looked up at the sky and said to Tony, "Hey, it's getting dark, let's go quickly. If you don't leave, you might not even be able to play a supporting role this time."
Saga turned to look at Lake: "Have you contacted that guy?"
Lake acted out his own story: "I left him a message, who knows if he saw it."
Saga said: "If he doesn't come, with my current practice, I have no way to keep him."
Lake nodded. "I'll urge them later. It's okay. There's still a certain margin of error. At worst, we can just open the gates of hell, and then someone will take care of it."
Tony was listening with a confused look on his face.
Lake didn't intend to give Tony time to think, because he felt that the power of darkness was approaching: "Are you going to leave or not? If you leave, I will leave. If you die, I won't care about you."
Finished.
Seeing that Tony didn't respond, Lake got into the car, backed up, and drove towards the cordon that had been set up.
Tony looked at Lake's headlights, which didn't slow down at all, and frowned, "Coward!"
Speaking of which...
Is this guy really the one who dared to go one-on-one with the Winter Soldier in the underwater tunnel for a case?
Lake withdrew his consciousness from his clone and returned to his original body disguised as Saga. He stared deeply at the black mist whistling from afar: "He is much stronger than me."
Tony frowned, "Lake?"
Lake stopped talking.
Boom!
The black fog coming from afar directly cut through the space, and with a bang, it fell heavily on the ground of the wind power plant like a meteorite.
The arrogant Blackhearted Demon walked out from the receding black mist and stared at Lake expressionlessly: "It's you again."
As for the Iron Man next to him?
Without a doubt, it was once again overlooked by the gorgeous.
