Chapter 369 One thing, two masters

Chapter 369 One Thing Should Not Be Served by Two Masters (Second Update!!)
"Dong dong!"

"Enter!"

Maria Hill, who was sitting in her office working on documents, heard the knock on the door and responded without looking up.

The door opened.

Commander Victoria Hand of S.H.I.E.L.D. walked in from outside, her expression carrying a hint of inexplicable smugness, but also a sense of nervousness.

"Hill, Hawke is back."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Maria Hill, who was processing documents, subconsciously looked up and put down the pen in her hand.

"Back in New York?"

"No, based on the route, his destination is Washington, D.C."

"...Washington?"

Maria Hill raised an eyebrow.

Victoria Hand then recounted how the new commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York had come to her door and was eventually vaporized by Hawke, and how more than fifty S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in Westview were also set off by Hawke on the spot. Hawke then made no attempt to conceal his arrival and was flying high in the sky towards Washington, D.C.

Victoria Hand spoke with no pleasantries when talking about the new commander in New York.

wrong.

Even the mother of the new New York commander, who is also the current mixed-race council member of the Federation, did not give him a friendly look.

The reason is simple.

The moment the new New York commander took office, he turned the previously well-organized New York SHIELD into a complete mess.

His mother is just like her son.

Let's say that.

This so-called "Securities Council Superhero Act" was created by the newly appointed federal governor, David Harris, after he took office.

It's obvious who David Harris's bill is really aimed at.

after all……

Every member of the Security Council is an elite among elites, a talent among talents, a cunning fox among cunning foxes.

Ok.

The other three may not be.

However, the board members of the University of Tokyo were undoubtedly selected from among thousands of candidates, so they were well aware of what David Harris, who was originally from Wall Street but was nominated by the president to become a federal board member, wanted to do.

but!

The University of Tokyo has the Sniper Bureau, and the Russians have the Defense Bureau, so even though they knew exactly what David Harris was up to, they still abstained from voting as usual.

Anyway, no matter how chaotic things get, it's all happening in the West.

So, with the University of Tokyo and the Russians abstaining, David Harris lobbied Paris and London, and then found 114 smaller countries, claiming that 117 countries had passed the Superhero Act.

The requirement is that all superheroes active on Earth must register and be subject to the supervision of the Security Council.

But her real target was Hawke.

In the words of David Harris.

Hawke is too dangerous and must be kept under our control.

As for why she didn't care before, it's because she didn't know.

But now she knows.

and so……

The reason given seemed righteous and righteous.

But in fact it is.

"Are these Wall Street squid thinking that now that the wind has died down, they're back to normal? They're looking at Hawke's spaceship, launching a Harris, and seeing if they can snatch it up?"

"There was no other way. Hawke used to be all alone and had no weaknesses."

Victoria Hand listened to Hill's head-shaking and complaining, and chuckled: "It's different now. Hawke has parents, a sister, a wife, and children, so they think Hawke can be threatened."

Maria Hill was delighted.

"From that damn angle, make them think Hawke can be threatened?"

"Is it the ruins of Quantico?"

"Still Wakanda's white land."

"Or a failed Hydra."

"Or perhaps the abyss of the Atlantic Ocean."

"They might think that if they give it a try, they can be threatened and make a huge profit; if they can't be threatened, then Harris is there to protect them anyway."

"Ah."

Maria Hill looked at the serious-looking Victoria Hand: "Alexander Pierce thought the same thing back then."

Victoria Hand shrugged: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. After Sharon was branded a traitor by her, she pushed for the separation of SHIELD New York from our headquarters."

Yes.

The New York branch of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the headquarters have separated.

Although New York SHIELD still bears the nameplate of the New York SHIELD headquarters, the new nameplate promoted by this Harris director, "Security Control Bureau," has already spent $50 million and is currently ordering a replacement nameplate.

“Sharon…”

Maria Hill frowned, thinking of Sharon: "Haven't you found Sharon yet?"

Victoria Hand shrugged and didn't say anything.

Maria Hill raised an eyebrow.

"found it?"

"I do not know."

"..."

Maria Hill listened to her commander's reply, paused for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "That's fine, as long as we can contact him when needed."

As he spoke, Hill seemed to have thought of something and looked at Hand.

"You just said that the A.S.H.I.E.L.D. satellites captured images of Hawke flying towards Washington, D.C."

"Correct."

"Expected location?"

You won't like to hear that answer.

"……Right."

Hearing this, Hill nodded in response to Hand's expression: "I don't think I've taken my vacation this month. Oh well, I'll take a day off today."

This time it was Hand's turn to raise an eyebrow.

She looked at Hill, who was about to run away at the slightest disagreement, and opened her mouth.

"Wait, what if you run away? What am I supposed to do?" "You can run away too."

Hill had already put on his coat and smiled slightly at Hand: "Just find Sharon, I'm leaving now."

Anyway, Aegis belongs to the Security Council, not to any one company.

and so……

Unless something happens that threatens world security, it's impossible for her to cancel her fake news even if the King of Heaven himself called her today.

Hill walked very fast.

As I stepped out of the office and onto the deck of the space carrier, I saw a golden light pierce through the clouds in the distance.

"hiss!"

Hill quickly turned off his phone and ran towards the Aegis fighters that were already ready.

boom!
This is not the sonic boom sound produced when the Aegis fighter starts up.

Instead, it sounded as if the dome of the white house had been pierced by a meteorite.

All of a sudden.

The piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire white house.

The pentagonal building, located approximately 4.27 kilometers in a straight line from the white house and a nine-minute drive away, immediately entered emergency response mode.

The Minister of Defense entered the operations center immediately, and a group of high-ranking officials in the room stood up to greet the old man who walked in.

"minister!"

"sit."

"what happened?"

"The white room has been invaded."

"hiss!"

Minister Bai, who had just taken a nap in his office, felt his scalp tingle upon hearing these words.

"National Guard..."

"I'm already here."

Just as an Onsa leader was reporting that the National Guard had entered the field, a voice suddenly rang out in the tense combat center.

next second.

Hawke appeared before the assembled military leaders, holding a mixed-race child in his hand and expressionless.

next second.

Click!

With a crisp sound of bones shattering, many military leaders stared in disbelief at the mixed-race child whose throat had been crushed in Hawke's hand.

"Great unification..."

"He's dead, let's find another one."

"Boom!"

Hawke interrupted a military officer as he was about to groan, his voice icy as he tossed the corpse onto their operations command table with a flick of his right hand. His gaze then fell on the face of the old White Secretary.

"You now have two choices."

"First!"

“I’m giving you three hours, but within one hour, I want to see David Harris and bring her here alive.”

"Then, in the next hour, I want to see the Superhero Act repealed."

"Then, in the last third hour, those guys behind David Harris brought me their heads."

“I do not accept any form of procrastination, or so-called suicide.”

"Of course, if you can't accept that, you can choose the second option."

"Start a war with me."

"Trust me, don't choose this one, and don't think I'm bluffing. I've destroyed Quantico, slaughtered Wakanda, and wiped the Vatican off the face of the earth. If you think you can deal with me, go ahead."

"But I advise you not to."

"Now!"

"Timing begins."

After Hawke finished speaking, he ignored the armed soldiers who had rushed in from outside while he was talking and listening to the commotion inside, and calmly closed his eyes.

Minister Bai roared at the soldiers who rushed in.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot!"

Other military leaders, especially those who were fortunate enough to survive Quantico, were also roaring in anger, fearing that some foolish soldier might pull the trigger.

soon.

The situation stabilized, and amidst the roars of Minister Bai and a series of military leaders, the soldiers who had rushed in were blasted out before they could even understand what was happening.

The door to operational command was closed once again.

The gray-haired Minister Bai looked at the corpse that had been thrown onto the table, which had been so spirited in the morning but was now like a dead dog. His arms trembled slightly as he took a towel out of his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

His mind was racing at that moment.

Secretary White knew about David Harris and her so-called Superhero Act.

But he was just a minister, while David Harris was someone put in place by the financial backers behind the scenes, so even if he felt that the bill might cause some trouble, he had no way to stop it.

This is just great.

Trouble is coming.

only……

Minister Bai looked at Hawke, who had closed his eyes after speaking, and swallowed hard.

“Mr. Phoenix, I assure you, my building absolutely does not contain…”

"I know."

Before Minister White could finish speaking, Hawke opened his eyes and calmly looked at Minister White.

"I know it wasn't you who provoked me."

"But there's nothing we can do. The reason why those who provoke me feel confident is because they have your military backing them."

"so……"

"I won't trouble two people for one thing, I'm only asking you."

“David Harris, I want him alive, the Superhero Act, I want it repealed, the masterminds behind this, I want their heads.”
