Uehara Naraku was in a good mood.
No matter who it is, having done a great deed, their mood wouldn't be bad at all.
Just now, they arranged everything in the President's office, the matter of Nick Fury's faked death would be exposed by the White House, FBI, and CIA, and he remains the unsuspecting Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., simple people wouldn't get their hands dirty.
In a few days, when the new president in the White House issues the wanted order, and the fake death of Nick Fury, along with him being a Hydra undercover, bursts out...
As a simple Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Uehara Naraku contemplated whether he should confront Tony Stark as a concealed victim.
This is the professionalism of a mastermind.
He.
Uehara Naraku.
Will always be a victim.
At least until the truth surfaces.
As for after the truth is truly revealed, whether Tony Stark and Nick Fury's psychology would get affected, remains unknown… The Avengers Squad are a group with strong hearts, their mentality is surely strong.
This time, the efficiency of the White House was very high.
After all, it was the first time for the president sitting in the White House to help Uehara Naraku with the dirty work. To wash off the dirt on themselves, they directly throw all the dirt onto Nick Fury, combined with Ichimaru Gin, who appears and disappears unpredictably…
In less than two days' time.
Uehara Naraku received an order issued publicly from the White House, besides requiring S.H.I.E.L.D. to assist in capturing Nick Fury, there were a few other small demands...
For instance, the new president ordered Uehara Naraku, the director, under the guidance of the White House, to reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D., erasing the influence Nick Fury, the 'Hydra Director', had on S.H.I.E.L.D., simply put, to purge the people promoted by Nick Fury.
This truly is a godsend!
Uehara Naraku had long wanted to thoroughly purge Nick Fury's people, making S.H.I.E.L.D. a clean agency that only follows his orders!
At the same time,
to ensure S.H.I.E.L.D. upholds the responsibility of maintaining world peace…
The new president specially issued an executive order, allocating funds to expand S.H.I.E.L.D., to change the 'cowardly' situation that existed during Nick Fury's governance as the 'Hydra Director', granting S.H.I.E.L.D. the power to unconditionally command hundreds of American military overseas bases.
Until the very end of the order.
The White House even nullified the Avengers project initiated by Nick Fury and Tony Stark, every superhero recruited by Nick Fury must undergo investigation, all handled by the new director, Uehara.
What defines a politician?
This is what defines a true politician!
Even with Uehara Naraku's experience as a mastermind in several worlds, he can't help but admire how efficiently this new president operates, even using Nick Fury as an excuse…
Truly…
everyone has their use.
Even if he's just an old president.
When Uehara Naraku had this realization, he felt a bit arrogant, but this was the result of his well-thought-out scheme during the Kilian incident, and hard work certainly pays off…
Uehara Naraku satisfactorily patted the paper order on his desk, then reached for his phone: "Hello, this is Uehara Naraku, where is Colonel James Rhodes now? Take me to see him."
Now it's time to raise the alarm and hold people accountable!
The first person.
Naturally, it's James Rhodes, who is held at S.H.I.E.L.D.
It's better to say Colonel Rhodes is on vacation under the watch of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, rather than saying he's imprisoned; even his cell conditions are the best and most lenient.
Now…
everything needs to be reevaluated.
Triangle Wing Building.
The outdoor basketball court at S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
As a prisoner who was specifically instructed by the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to be treated well, Colonel Rhodes was living quite comfortably and even had a few hours of exercise time every day.
When Uehara Naraku brought a dozen agents to the court, James Rhodes threw the basketball in his hands, it arced across the court and fell into the hoop, a long-range three-pointer that lightened Rhodes' mood significantly.
"Hey, Uehara."
After making the shot, Colonel Rhodes turned to greet Uehara Naraku who arrived: "Uehara, wanna join?"
"Next time…"
Uehara Naraku watched Colonel Rhodes, slowly adjusting his expression to show a complex look: "If there's a next time…"
"What's going on?"
Seeing Uehara Naraku's expression, Colonel Rhodes vaguely sensed something wasn't right: "Not good news? Am I going to the court-martial? Maybe that's for the best, at least it won't trouble others too much…"
Rhodes was quite composed.
He knew that the incident with the former president's death was significant, and as someone implicated, he certainly wouldn't get off easily. However, he still felt a little uneasy inside.
But…
things weren't as simple as Colonel Rhodes thought.
Uehara Naraku silently gazed at Colonel Rhodes for a few seconds, then extended his hand backward, pulling out an arrest warrant: "Colonel James Rhodes, we now suspect you of conspiring to murder the former president, take him to the interrogation room!"
A few agents swarmed in, directly grabbing James Rhodes, cuffing his wrists with shiny handcuffs, with even guns aimed at his back!
