Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 167 Wakanda's Rebellion (Fourth Update!)

Just like when he was at school, Hawke, who never ate lunch in the NYU cafeteria, went to Imperial College next door to see his fiancée. There, he heard the latest and most explosive news from his fiancée.

"Is Mary's new boyfriend Lightning?"

"Ah."

"hiss!"

Hawke gasped, looking at Gwen who seemed equally shocked by the news, and asked curiously, "What is Mary thinking? Getting revenge on Peter?"

lightning.

That is, Flesh Thompson, who was in the same grade as them and was a classmate of theirs.

Although Thomson's performance wasn't great, he still had his own strengths.

Thompson, who helped Midtown High School win the runner-up title in the NCAA, easily received an invitation from Imperial University to serve as the vice-captain of the Imperial University football team and fight for the honor of Imperial University.

only……

Besides this identity, Thomson has another identity as well.

School bully.

Although Thomson stopped bullying Peter after Peter's Uncle Ben died, that was mainly because he could no longer bully Peter who had become a spider demon. But ultimately, Thomson had bullied Peter before.

Now Mary and Thomson are together.

This……

"Does Peter know?"

"how could I know."

Gwen replied, "I only found out this morning too, and I'm just as shocked as you are."

Hawke clicked his tongue twice upon hearing this.

Gwen was a little worried: "Will Peter do anything drastic when he comes back?"

Hawke snapped out of his reverie: "That's definitely not the case."

Gwen looked at Hawke with curiosity.

"you sure?"

"Ah."

Hawke nodded and said with a smile, "At most, it's just a dark turn. To others, it's a big deal, but to Peter, it's a small matter."

Anyway, after Peter turned to the dark side, the most he did was ask the Daily Bugle's boss for a raise and to buy himself a discounted suit.

That doesn't seem to be anything else.

wrong.

I wonder if Venom has reached Earth yet.

Hawke thought to himself.

Mary has a new boyfriend, and what's more, her new boyfriend is the bully Flash who used to bully her ex-boyfriend, which shocks Hawke and Gwen.

But all I felt was shock; nothing more.

The two did not discuss the matter further.

Hawke left after having dinner with Gwen.

He had promised someone he would take her out for afternoon tea that afternoon.

Sharon is back.

But Sharon didn't come back from a vacation in Texas; she came back from Wakanda in Africa.

It was in an afternoon tea shop not far from New York University.

Hawke took the tablet Sharon handed him, which was only for browsing, and listened to Sharon's story. He asked curiously, "Weren't you on vacation in Texas? Why did you go to Wakanda?"

This is why he didn't urge Sharon.

Anyway, Sharon had already promised to call him when she returned to New York. It's very impolite to disturb someone on vacation.

Sharon took a sip of her coffee, which she didn't have to pay for herself, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but complain, "The day after you called me, I was abruptly cut short on vacation and transferred to Wakanda. Not only me, but basically all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents at level 5 and above went there."

Hawke glanced at Sharon upon hearing this.

"Level 5 or above?"

"Ah."

"problem occurs?"

"Tchaka is dead, and the new king Tchala launched a rebellion. The peacekeepers of the coalition forces stationed at the palace were killed, and they also attacked the workers who were mining vibranium. The coalition forces also suffered heavy losses."

"……etc."

Isn't the Wakanda situation already over?

There's a sequel?

Hawke listened to Sharon's account, feeling somewhat bewildered: "Wasn't T'Chaka dead a long time ago?"

Sharon shook her head: "No, he died recently. He was in a coma before. When T'Chaka was still in a coma, the Golden Tribe had already accepted the agreement. I never expected that this new king, T'Challa, would tear up the agreement after taking office."

Hawke's expression suddenly dawned on him.

"and then?"

"The rebellion occurred on the night of the 31st. The Security Council did not expect that the Golden Tribe had hidden some vibranium technology and weapons. By the time the Security Council received the news, the coalition forces had already been driven out of the capital, and some soldiers had been captured by Wakanda."

"The Security Council is furious."

"No, look."

"They called my hotel while I was on vacation with just one phone call, and I happily ran off to Wakanda."

"..."

Hawke was silent.

He recognized every word Sharon said, but why did he feel a strange sense of disbelief when he listened to them together?

What does it mean that the joint forces were driven out of the capital?

What does it mean that some soldiers were captured by Wakanda?

Good guy.

If he remembered correctly, when he spoke to Hill, the Allied forces seemed to already have the flying dragons on their heels. And how long has it been?

wrong.

It seems like more than half a year has already passed.

Hawke recalled that his last conversation with Hill was in the first half of last year. He composed himself and continued listening to Sharon's story.

Initially, the coalition forces were able to overwhelm the Wakanda dragons for two reasons.

Wakanda had just been ravaged by Hawk and Hell Hulk, with Hell Hulk going on a rampage that turned Wakanda's rivers blood red.

Hawk also kicked the old King T'Chaka so hard that he was seriously injured, and even helped S.H.I.E.L.D. break the vibranium shield.

In addition, the old King T'Chaka was willing to trust the Security Council, so he ordered the Golden Tribe to listen to him and negotiate with the Security Council.

But that happened more than half a year ago.

Since the old king was still alive and had a good attitude, and more than half a year had passed, the Security Council believed that Wakanda no longer needed so many people.

So last Christmas, even the codenamed agents like Natasha, who were sent into the mountains to carry out the raid, were given a vacation and left Africa for a holiday.

Even the joint forces stationed there only maintained a size of less than 500 people, mainly used to protect the workers during mining operations.

Who would have thought that things would change after the old king died?

Having consumed the Heart-Shaped Herb, the new King T'Challa gained the power of the Panther God and became the new King and Guardian of Wakanda. Upon taking the throne, T'Challa tore up the signed agreements and then led an army of thousands of Wakandan women, who appeared out of nowhere, to launch a brutal attack on the Allied Forces' base in the capital.

Moreover, even a warship anchored in the waters near Wakanda was sunk.

after that……

That was the end.

The vibranium shield of the capital was reactivated, and seeing this, other tribes emerged from the deep forests and, under the cover of night, reclaimed their lost lands.

"What then?"

"They're sending reinforcements, of course. Luckily, there's an air force base nearby. When we got there, the Golden Tribe sent an envoy to negotiate."

"and then."

"Let's talk."

"result……"

"I don't know, we're still negotiating."

Sharon was somewhat speechless at this point: "I heard that Director Alexander Pierce advocates for a strong crackdown, but the directors in Paris and London disagree. After all, if this matter escalates and gets out, it will have a negative impact on them."

Hawke was somewhat curious.

"The other two..."

"Abstain."

“…As expected.”

Hawke listened to the answer and thought about it. It was very much in line with the usual personas of the other two. At the beginning, these two directors had also abstained from voting.

Sharon seemed to have thought of something, took out her phone, selected a video, and handed it to Hawke.

"Look at this."

"what is this?"

In the video, some soldiers wearing shorts, and some even naked, lined up and jumped off the deck in unison.

"According to the deck surveillance of the warship, on the night of the mutiny, the soldiers on the warship were bewitched and jumped into the water one by one, which is why they were unable to provide timely support."

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Hawke glanced at the surveillance footage again in surprise, then looked at Sharon: "Do you know why?"

Sharon shrugged: "They're still investigating, and we don't know whether it will end in war or peace. That's why I was able to come back from Africa. God, you don't know how hot that place was. I feel like I got a tan."

Hawke smiled, looked Sharon up and down, and then nodded.

"I definitely got a tan."

"God, I don't want to live anymore."

After receiving Hawke's approval, Sharon slumped onto the table with a look of utter despair.

after awhile.

Sharon looked up, glancing away from the Wakanda topic: "By the way, what do you need cloning technology for?"

Hawke looked again at the information about cloning experiments in the S.H.I.E.L.D. data on the tablet, without looking up: "Resurrect my sister."

Sharon nodded and said "Oh," then picked up her coffee cup and silently drank it without saying anything more.

Hawke had already quickly finished reviewing the information on the tablet in his hand and handed it back to Sharon.

"Why is it all about cloned organs? Isn't there any research on human cloning?"

“Hawk, we are, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. under the jurisdiction of the Security Council. Our funding comes from the Security Council. The Security Council has already turned a blind eye to organ cloning experiments. Human cloning requires a higher level of authorization.”

"Ok."

"but……"

Sharon paused for a moment, then turned to Hawke and said, "A few years ago, we did arrest a guy who was conducting cloning experiments. I think his name was something like Merrick. He's been imprisoned in the Black Prison. I can help you contact him and see if we can get you a meeting."

Hawke's eyes lit up as he glanced at Sharon.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Just treat me to afternoon tea sometime."

"no problem."

Hawke smiled as he watched Sharon pick up her coffee cup, then picked up his own and clinked his cup against Sharon's to acknowledge her agreement.

at this time.

His expression suddenly changed.

next second.

Under Sharon's gaze, Hawke, who was sitting opposite her, vanished from his spot in an instant!
