Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 657 Zola, the Scapegoat

Stepping out of the conference room, Smith Doyle looked at everyone.

"So, what are your thoughts?"

Sharon Carter began by saying:
“Countless reporters have already gathered downstairs. I suggest we find another place.”

"Also, I just contacted Bulma. Ultron tried to control Baymax, but she and Slowpoke teamed up to defeat him."

Upon hearing Sharon's report, Smith Doyle breathed a sigh of relief. If the Big White robot had been controlled by Ultron and killed humans, Capsule Corporation's reputation would have been ruined.

It's no wonder that Bulma can create a time machine even in the wasteland; she's truly reassuring.

Where are you all headed?

Barton began by saying:
“My safe house is in a remote area, and not many people know about it.”

Smith Doyle snapped his fingers and then said:
"OK!"

"Barton, tell Wanda your location and have her open a portal so we can all go there directly."

"As for the group of reporters downstairs, I'll handle that."

Upon seeing this, Patton immediately agreed:
"Yes, sir!"

The group that had just returned had already experienced Wanda's teleportation portal once, so naturally they had no objections. Speaking of which, this ability is really convenient.

As everyone left through the portal, Smith Doyle flew directly off the building.

At this moment, a large number of reporters were standing downstairs, and security personnel were trying their best to stop them.

Seeing Smith Doyle's appearance only fueled their excitement, prompting a flurry of camera clicks and flashes that seemed intent on blinding him.

"Mr. Smith, does the fact that Avengers member Bruce Banner transformed and wreaked havoc on the streets of Sokovia indicate that his abilities are out of control?"

"Mr. Smith, what are your thoughts on the robot robbers that are appearing around the world these days?"

"Is such a large-scale robot rebellion the beginning of an artificial intelligence crisis?"

"Mr. Smith, will S.H.I.E.L.D. arrest Bruce Banner?"

"Mr. Smith..."

Seeing the reporters bombarding him with questions, Smith Doyle called out:
"Quiet!"

As Smith Doyle finished speaking, those two words clearly reached the ears of all the media personnel present.

Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Smith Doyle spoke:
"I'll give you three questions to answer your questions."

"Please wait for official notification for the rest."

Smith Doyle randomly selected a reporter and began to speak:
"You have a chance."

The blonde female reporter said excitedly:

"Hello Mr. Smith, I'm a reporter from ABC. I'm very pleased that you chose me."

"I want to ask on behalf of the general public: What exactly happened to Bruce Banner? Why did he go berserk in the streets and attack people indiscriminately?"

Smith Doyle took the microphone and began to speak:
"The enemy stole the Mind Scepter, the one Loki used during the Battle of New York, which has the power to control people's minds."

"The Avengers tried to capture him, but the enemy used the Mind Brace to control Dr. Banner and make him go berserk in order to escape."

"That's why Tony and I stepped in and woke Dr. Banner up."

The blonde reporter asked with a smile:

"So your way of waking him up is to beat him up."

Smith Doyle laughed:
"It works very well, doesn't it?"

"Okay, next one."

"Yes, this is a reporter."

The person called out was a white male reporter.

"Hello Mr. Smith, I am a reporter from the Global Times."

"Can you tell me who our enemy is this time?"

Smith Doyle glanced at the other person and said:
"This time, the enemy is Zola, a remnant of Hydra."

Smith Doyle then recounted Zola's information, adding that Zola had returned to the United States through Project Paperclip and joined some high-level research experiments.

Before his death, the person uploaded his consciousness to the internet.

"Because during this period, we launched an unprecedented attack on Hydra, completely severing all of their heads."

"This Hydra mastermind, who was hiding in the network, finally broke out and caused all of this."

"But don't worry, S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant Bulma has already found traces of them online, and we believe there will be results soon."

Upon hearing Smith Doyle's discovery, everyone present was stunned for a moment, then asked incredulously:
"Hydra? Wasn't it destroyed long ago?"

"How could this be them?"

Smith Doyle explained:

"This is the last question. Let me tell you about this resurrected Hydra."

Smith Doyle then recounted how Hydra managed to rise from the ashes under Project Paperclip, and how S.H.I.E.L.D., under his leadership, discovered Hydra, severed its nine heads, and destroyed its bases.

He also stated that this Zola incident would be Hydra's final dance.

After answering the three questions, Smith Doyle did not linger at the scene and flew away.

Soon, the latest news appeared online.

Hydra's Resurgence!

Hydra's Demise Once Again!

Omnic Crisis NO: Hydra's Last Dance!

Does consciousness uploading technology represent an alternative form of immortality?

The drawbacks of Project Paperclip become apparent.

······
Patton - Safe House.

Barton led everyone into the villa, and once inside, he spoke:
"Honey, I'm back."

At this moment, a pregnant woman with a large belly walked out.

Barton continued:

"Hi, these are my companions."

"Sorry I didn't call you beforehand."

The Avengers present were somewhat surprised to see the woman appear, as Barton already had a wife who was pregnant.

After all, none of the Avengers present were married.

Tony spoke to Thor:
"I bet his wife is a secret agent."

Patton then began to introduce:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Laura, my wife."

Laura smiled and said:

“I know all your names; Patton told me your stories.”

Tony waved his hand and said:
"Hi!"

Just then, footsteps came from the stairs, and Barton said with a smile:

"Someone is coming."

Then, the next second, a boy and a girl ran out and shouted at Barton:

"father!"

Barton picked up his daughter and said with a smile:

"Hi, baby!"

How are you?

Tony watched this scene and murmured:

"Two little secret agents!" the younger daughter exclaimed excitedly.

Did you bring Aunt Natasha with you?

Patton said with a smile:

Why don't you hold her and see for yourself?

The youngest daughter ran towards Natasha, who then picked up Barton's daughter.

Steve Rogers then spoke up:
"I'm sorry we're visiting your home so abruptly."

Tony then retorted:
"Yes, we should have called you in advance, but we had no idea you existed."

Patton, with his left arm around his son and his right arm around his wife, began to speak:
“Okay, Fury arranged for me to join.”

“He didn’t write it in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s files, and I wish I had.”

"I think this is a good place to rest and relax."

At that moment, Thor accidentally stepped on and destroyed a toy block on the ground, and awkwardly turned his foot away.

Jessica Jones looked at Barton with some envy. He was truly a happy man to be able to have children with his loved one.

Ivan Vanko, on the other hand, thought of Yelena and realized that perhaps he should propose to her on a suitable day.

Thor looked at the girl who walked over and stared at him. Feeling a little uncomfortable, he picked up his hammer and walked out. Steve Rogers followed him out.

"Thor!"

Thor looked at Steve Rogers and said:
"I don't find the answer I'm looking for here. I'm going out to look for it."

Thor immediately brandished Mjolnir and left.

······
outside the room.

Steve and Tony were covered in firewood, and the amount of firewood they chopped was about the same.

Tony asked:
"Didn't Thor say where he went to find the answer?"

Steve looked at Tony and said:

“My teammates don’t always speak freely with me either.”

“I was hoping Saul would open up to me, but it’s clear he’s closer to Smith.”

Tony smiled and then said:
“We have a good relationship with Smith, let’s give him some time.”

"To be honest, I don't even know what answer he's looking for."

Steve chopped the tree stump in front of him into pieces with his axe, and then said:
"It's precisely because I don't know what it is that I'm even more worried."

"I'm afraid Thor will simply abandon the problems here and run back to Asgard to find the answers."

"Then our powerful team is really going to be torn apart by the other side's underhanded tactics."

Tony then looked at Steve and said:

"You don't seem very worried about this matter."

Steve asked:
"Any questions?"

Tony said:
"I always feel like you've been through so much more, lost so much more, and experienced so much more. Have you become numb so quickly?"

Steve shook his head and said:

"Who knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first?"

"I heard that at your base in Sokovia, you found a superhuman with the ability to foresee the future."

Did she see this?

Tony was somewhat surprised that Steve knew about this, but he still spoke up:
"Before we could discuss it in detail, the Ultron incident broke out."

"I wonder if Smith will find the time to meet with the other party at this time."

"Actually, I'm a little worried now. Ultron, who has the Mind Scepter, will definitely try to split us apart whenever he gets the chance."

Steve said:
"As long as we stay together and don't give him a chance, that scepter won't be of much use."

"How come that thing is with you? Ultron took it."

Hearing Steve's criticism directed at him, Tony spoke up:
"Banner and I are doing scientific research."

“I borrowed that scepter from Smith Doyle for research purposes.”

Steve said:
"It will have an impact on the team."

"The last person to conduct dangerous research was Nick Fury, whose research on the Tesseract brought about the Chitauri army. This time, it's you who researched the Mind Scepter, bringing about the Ultron crisis."

Tony said directly:
"The research itself is not wrong, it's just that it's gone in the wrong direction."

"My goal is for Ultron to protect the Earth and humanity, not to destroy it."

Steve picked up a wooden stake, snapped it in two with his bare hands, and then looked at Tony and said:

“Every time someone tries to win before a war starts, innocent people are sacrificed.”

“Every time.”

At this moment, Barton walked over and said:
"Sorry to bother you."

"Tony, my tractor won't start, could you come over..."

Tony knew that Barton wanted to temporarily separate him and Steve to avoid escalating their conflict, so he went along with it.

"No problem, I'll go take a look."

Then, pointing to the firewood he had chopped, he said to Steve:
"Don't steal my firewood."

After speaking, Tony walked towards the warehouse.

Upon entering the warehouse, Tony looked at a parked tractor and began to inspect it.

At this moment, a voice rang out:
"Please, don't start the tractor."

Upon hearing Nick Fury's voice, Tony turned to look at him and said:
"Patton is really cunning."

"I never expected that this matter would alarm our former director."

"But if Smith Doyle finds out you still have informants in S.H.I.E.L.D., believe me, he'll destroy your S.W.O.R.D.."

Nick Fury said:
"Artificial intelligence, you didn't even hesitate."

Tony walked up to Nick Fury and said:
"Today was really long, as long as a Eugene O'Neill novel."

"Just tell me directly, what problem can you solve?"

Nick Fury looked at Tony and said:
“Look me in the eyes and tell me you will shut down Ultron.”

Tony spoke directly:
"You're not my bureau chief."

"And now, it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. is under the control of Smith Doyle."

Nick Fury looked at Tony and said:
“I’m not anyone’s director, I’m just an old man who happens to care about you.”

Tony chuckled self-deprecatingly, then said:
"I am the one who killed the Avengers, I saw it under that little girl Wanda's magic."

"Although Smith told me that it was just Wanda's magic."

"But it was very real; everyone was dead."

"Because I was not prepared, and I did not try my best."

"Although it was Wanda's little trick, I wanted to do everything I could, to the greatest extent possible, to change something."

"In the future, we should prepare in advance for war."

"But I never expected that I would start this war."

Nick Fury looked at Tony and said:
"You have invented many amazing things, but war is not."

"And as long as you're not dead, you still have a chance."

"Isn't it?"

Tony Stark nodded in response to Nick Fury's advice.

If you create trouble, you have to deal with it yourself.
