History will remember this day.
Because the moment Hawk used a 'Phoenix Wing Flight' to shatter the Vibranium Energy Shield of Wakanda, and when the Vibranium Energy Shield of Wakanda broke into pieces, Wakanda's dream of quietly making a fortune while seeking relief grain from the United Nations was completely shattered.
However...
None of this is related to Hawk.
Just as he told Maria Hill, he can help, and now that the busy work is done, he naturally goes back to where he came from.
Still the same words.
Hawk feels like he's been out long enough.
It's time to go home.
By the time Hawk returned to New York City, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Hawk walked straight out of John F. Kennedy International Airport to the parking lot.
His Audi A8 was still parked in the lot.
Hawk opened the car door, started the engine, and after paying the hefty parking fee, he drove away from the airport while suddenly thinking of something.
Speaking of...
When he went to Quantico, he left the airport and encountered robbers, having an unexpected accident.
This time going to Africa seems to be the same.
The flight was delayed, and after many twists and turns, he finally arrived in Africa.
Hiss!
Could it be that every time I leave New York City and venture outside, I'll encounter accidents?
Hawk wondered curiously in his heart.
Just then, the phone rang.
Anna's.
Hawk took out the phone, glanced at the number, and directly answered.
"Good evening, Anna."
"It's almost dawn here."
"... What time is it there?"
"Five in the morning."
Hawk listened to the time on Anna's side and chuckled: "Did you arrive in Wakanda?"
Anna laughed lightly: "Hawk, we're friends, you should tell us what's going on here."
Hawk laughed heartily: "This gift is originally for you, Anna. Don't you think it's better this way, saving you from having to create a source for the information."
This is true.
At that moment, he thought of Anna, so he told Maria Hill the truth about Wakanda.
Anna listened to Hawk's explanation and was slightly stunned.
"Gift... for me?"
"Of course."
Hawk smiled and spoke: "You've helped me a lot. I'm always generous to friends, just like I said before. I make friends regardless of their camp. You're my friend, so because of you, I told Maria Hill the truth about Wakanda. So, Anna, tell those behind you to give you a promotion and a raise, just say I told them to."
Anna on the other end laughed.
"Alright, Hawk, I'll tell my boss."
"That's right, over in Wakanda, I only took a small amount of Vibranium. There's still plenty inside. Take as much as you can. After all, you guys are the experts in this."
"Thank you for the gift. I really like it, Hawk."
"Glad you like it."
Hawk said with a smile, then added: "By the way, could you keep an eye on Jane Foster for me, especially when she plans to go to London, let me know."
He couldn't remember the exact time when the Ether Particles, which are also the Reality Gemstone, appeared on Earth.
After all, this wasn't explained in the movie, like which year, month, and day the Ether Particles, also known as the Reality Gemstone, appeared at a specific location on Earth.
But Hawk remembers clearly that the appearance of Ether Particles is roughly when Jane Foster went to London.
So...
Keeping an eye on Jane Foster will undoubtedly lead to finding the Reality Gemstone.
As long as Jane Foster heads to London, he will immediately go to London and follow her, easily obtaining the Reality Gemstone.
Therefore, Hawk requested Anna to keep an eye on Jane Foster and inform him as soon as she goes to London.
Anna on the other end acknowledged the request, thanked Hawk again, jokingly mentioned requesting a bonus from her boss, and then hung up the phone.
Hawk also hung up, focusing on driving towards his home on Palm Street, East Village, Manhattan.
His lips curled into a slight smile.
Just like he had mentioned to Anna earlier, after thinking about bothering Anna with so many things, he thought of exposing Wakanda as a gift for Anna, or rather, for Hydra behind Anna.
But that was just one reason.
He had two more reasons.
One reason is simple.
Hawk doesn't think highly of Wakanda quietly developing while receiving others' survival hopes and relief grain.
He simply wanted to expose Wakanda's ugly nature to the world.
If you don't want to be human, then don't be human.
Hawk could even foresee that as Wakanda gets exposed and large quantities of Vibranium emerge, the first ones to be shaken will definitely be the five good men.
That's his third goal.
When the world's attention gets drawn to Wakanda, he can focus on his own affairs.
After all, if Wakanda doesn't get exposed, whether he likes it or not, based on his earth-shattering battle with the Demon Hulk on the grasslands, many people will focus their attentions on him for a long time, keeping an eye on his every move.
But with Wakanda, it's different.
The reason is simple.
Staring at Hawk, the potential benefits are unknown, and a minor mishap might trigger Hawk's fury, leading to another Quantico explosion.
But focusing on Wakanda, the benefits are entirely visible to the naked eye.
Not to mention the massive amount of Vibranium, just the advanced technology of Wakanda alone could rapidly enhance the strength of the Five Sages.
Including Hydra, lurking in the shadows!
So...
Keeping an eye on Wakanda aligns with everyone's common interests.
As for whether Wakanda objects?
Ha.
When Wakanda chose to conceal and deceive, tricking the Five Sages at the United Nations Assembly, while claiming aid meant for truly impoverished people, it was destined that its opinions were no longer important.
If you dare to hide today, you'll dare to go against humanity tomorrow.
The Five Sages gave you relief thinking Wakanda was poor, but you treated the Five Sages like pawns and fooled them.
Tsk tsk.
Wakanda's behavior of playing tricks on the Five Sages is far worse than Gaddafi's actions back in the day.
So this time, the Five Sages don't even need an excuse.
They're righteous in their cause!
The divine spirits that Wakanda worships are now useless, only the Five Sages know what fate awaits Wakanda next.
But this has nothing to do with Hawk anymore.
An hour later.
Hawk drove back to his home on Palm Street.
It's already ten o'clock at night.
After returning home, Hawk swiftly took off his S.H.I.E.L.D T-shirt, dashed into the bathroom, and turned on the shower.
Cold water cascaded down, washing over Hawk's body.
In the Little Cosmos.
The Little Cosmos, filled with Phoenix Force, gradually circulated, with the Phoenix Holy Armor at the center, slowly strengthening itself with the cosmos's aura.
Due to the premature all-in bet by the real Phoenix, Hawk's current Little Cosmos should be at the pinnacle of the Bronze Little Cosmos.
But...
It's still insufficient to venture into Hell; first, he must find the Reality Gemstone, then use the materializing power of the Reality Gemstone to elevate his Little Cosmos to the level of a Golden Saint Warrior's Little Cosmos.
Only then does he have the right to talk about going to Hell.
However...
This cannot be rushed; after all, the Reality Gemstone has not yet appeared. Until it does, all he can do is wait.
Soon.
After finishing his shower, Hawk walked out of the bathroom, looking at the phone ringing on his bed. Smiling, he went over and answered the call.
"Hello, Gwen."
"You're back in New York City?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll return tomorrow."
"Um... wait."
Hawk lifted the duvet, lay in bed, and blinked: "Coming back tomorrow? Didn't you say you'd be gone for two months, it's only been half a month."
He remembered Gwen's study tour at Berkeley University was supposed to last two months.
Coming back after just half a month?
Gwen on the other end smiled and said, "It's two months, but I never said I had to stay for the entire duration. Mary asked when I'd be back a few days ago. Don't forget, we're graduating this term, we need to prepare our graduation yearbook and contacts in advance, so I'm planning to return to school to help."
The graduation yearbook, a book containing individual photos and the group photo album of graduates, along with public information about each graduate.
The contacts, a magical phone book, recording the contact methods of notable alumni from Midtown High School.
This is a networking gift from Midtown High School to graduates.
Listening to Gwen, Hawk remembered Gwen being the grade assistant, chuckling, "Alright then, what time tomorrow? I'll pick you up at the airport."
Gwen smiled and said, "Arrive by ten, come over by ten-thirty, I need to pick up my luggage."
Hawk acknowledged.
After a while.
After chatting for a while, they hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone in his hand, Hawk thought for a moment, then tossed it aside, turned off the lights, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes.
The next day.
Hawk drove to John F. Kennedy International Airport once more.
At ten-thirty in the morning.
Gwen emerged from the exit with her luggage, walking toward the parking lot, glancing around in search of Hawk, her expression seemingly anxious and concerned.
At that moment.
While searching for Hawk, Gwen suddenly felt her left hand holding the suitcase handle being gently tapped twice.
She instinctively released her left hand.
Gwen looked to the side and saw Hawk, who had appeared at some point, naturally taking over her suitcase.
Hawk smiled slightly.
"Welcome home."
"Yes."
Gwen looked at Hawk walking beside her, pursed her lips.
The worry and anxiety on her face vanished instantly upon seeing Hawk, replaced by a relieved smile.
