Coulson had anticipated this.

It was Jessica Jones who appeared here.

Jessica Jones glanced at everyone, then said to Coulson:

"I think this is private time now. If you have something to do, it would be best if you came back tomorrow."

Coulson shrugged at Jessica Jones's words and said:

“Ms. Jones, I hope you can understand that some things have happened these past few days. Locke Technology’s exposed actions have attracted too much attention.”

So that we can all feel at ease, we hope to have a talk with Mr. Locke.

As you know, Mr. Locke has been missing for far too long, and his identity is far too special.

Coulson spoke kindly, but Jessica Jones had no intention of giving him that courtesy.

After all, she wasn't here to reason with people today.

We need to reason things out.

Ok……

She knew perfectly well that what these people were saying made sense.

But isn't the reason she's here precisely because this world isn't always governed by reason?

So she didn't move.

A soldier stepped forward from behind Coulson.

"Madam, please do not obstruct official business, otherwise we have the right to arrest you!"

As they were speaking, several soldiers stepped forward.

They wouldn't consider those things.

What they are doing now is the purpose of their presence here.

"and many more!"

Coulson spoke, and while he did, neither the military leadership nor the White House politicians uttered a word.

At this point, they knew very well that they could not step forward.

Coulson said with a helpless expression:

"Madam, I think you should be well aware of the current situation. Locke Technology's weapons production line, which has been running at full capacity for over 100 hours, has suddenly sent these weapons to an unknown location."

You should know that no one can sleep soundly until this matter is clarified.

Even Mr. Locke, unless he intends to be an enemy of humanity, should have some explanation, shouldn't he?

Jessica Jones curled her lip.

"Alright, you can go in, but I have to tell you, you probably won't see Nolan."

As she spoke, Jessica Jones immediately stepped aside.

The tense atmosphere vanished instantly.

Jessica Jones wasn't angry that Coulson and the others had gone over.

This is normal.

Let alone private individuals, even between nations, the disappearance of such a massive weapon system would likely cause unrest throughout the world.

So she's standing here just to express her attitude.

Talking is fine.

Cause trouble?

Nobody's with me!

Once inside the elevator on the first floor, the face of an army major general, which had remained unchanged until then, finally changed.

Who does she think she is!

Her behavior is not only contempt for us, but also contempt for the laws of this country!

Coulson kept his eyes down, not knowing whether he had disregarded the law, but he knew it was best to remain silent for the time being.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is in a rather awkward situation right now.

The major general called out a few times before someone finally spoke:

"Major General Giles, that's not the point."

Or do you believe that Nolan Locke doesn't possess such power?

One sentence made the atmosphere in the entire elevator fall silent.

That's right.

Locke Technology does indeed possess such power.

As the first person to force the entire government to compromise on such a vanity project, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction.

"Okay, but this isn't over yet."

He spoke reluctantly.

"of course not……"

The other person spoke, and then fell silent.

The floors keep getting higher.

Soon, the elevator dinged.

The elevator door opens.

The group discovered that a man was standing outside the elevator.

Simon Philippe smiled and said:

"Everyone, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Everyone looked at each other.

It is well known that the people at Locke Technology had already made thorough preparations.

Upon realizing this, everyone's expressions immediately darkened.

"Mr. Philip, it's been a long time."

Coulson greeted them with a smile, his kind face effectively easing the somewhat awkward atmosphere between them.

"Long time no see, Mr. Coulson."

Simon Philippe responded, and then said:

"I know you all have many questions, and we will give you a reasonable explanation about them."

Hopefully, this won't cause any conflict.

“Of course.

We're only here because of orders from above.

The representative from the White House was very tactful and didn't say anything more.

However, after taking their seats...

The White House representative's expression gradually turned serious.

He looked across at the other side.

Simon Philip, Sharon Carter, and Daisy Johnson remained calm.

He chuckled lightly and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you can understand why we have come here today."

The unusual military weapons production incident involving Lockheed Martin and Stark Industries has entered the investigation process.

However, during the review process, we discovered that all the weapons and equipment produced by the two companies had disappeared. Such an incident, along with the influence of the two companies in the world today, compels us to be vigilant.

We need to know the current status of all Lockheed Martin's military production lines and their upcoming plans to ensure that Lockheed Martin's weapons are not used illegally.

I hope everyone can understand.

As he spoke, the White House representative raised his eyes.

A subtle hint of smugness played at the corners of his mouth.

The sheer size of Lockheed Martin has prevented them from conducting a thorough investigation of the company.

But now, Nolan Locke's actions have essentially given them a legitimate reason to conduct an investigation.

Simon Philippe was prepared for the sudden attack from White House politicians.

"Regarding these issues, Locke Technology certainly understands, and we will gradually release information over the next month."

However, Locke Technology also has the right to oversee the review process, so I think we need to reconsider this matter further.

In response to Simon Philippe's answer.

White House politicians chuckled.

If he were so easily persuaded, he wouldn't be the only one here today.

He winked at Major General Giles, who was standing to the side.

Jill produced a military order and began to speak:

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the National Security Defense Act, the current situation of Locke Technology constitutes a major national security threat."

If necessary, the military will not rule out military intervention.

This is to facilitate the completion of the review process.

Simon Philip frowned.

Military intervention?

He considered many countermeasures, but he never expected the military to be so decisive.
