However, in the world of Red Alert, gamma rays are not uncommon at all.

With the help of Josie over the past few years, Yuri's base in the Cretaceous period has basically recovered to the productivity level of the mid-war between the Red and Blue factions. With Yuri personally taking charge, it is not a big problem to rush out a gamma ray cannon.

Chapter 170 A New Situation for the Council

In the yard of a secret estate in Chicago, almost two-year-old Mike and Carol are happily playing with several dogs.

But Margot, who was watching them from the side, had a worried look on her face.

Three days ago, after receiving a message from Josie, Jia Ying and Francesca brought the mother and her two children to this new manor, which they had never been to before but which was heavily guarded.

Margot could easily guess that something had happened, but she had no idea what it was.

Although I spoke with Josh once on the phone during that time, I didn't say much except to reassure her not to worry.

Margot understood that Josie meant well and didn't want her to worry too much... but how could she not worry?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again.

"Madam, Mr. Kahn is back!" Just as Margot was immersed in worry, Francesca came running excitedly from a distance, shouting as she ran.

His excited appearance greatly surprised the servants around him.

As the first member of Josie and Margot's family, Francesca became the head maid at a young age. While she wasn't harsh towards the new servants, and could even be described as caring towards them, she was mostly serious and rarely smiled.

It's rare to see someone so excited.

However, Margot could understand Francesca's feelings, because Josie's return essentially meant that Vito, who served as his bodyguard and assistant, was also back.

Upon hearing Francesca's call, Margot couldn't help but get up and go to greet her, wanting to ask where Josie was.

After walking a few steps, they saw Josie's figure appear behind them in the direction Francesca had come from.

Margot couldn't resist rushing out immediately.

"Be careful, be careful, I'm back safe and sound!" Josie said with a smile, pulling Margot into her arms to comfort her.

He was naturally aware of Margot's concerns, and compared to words, a warm embrace was clearly more comforting to the woman in his arms.

"Are you alright now?" Margot asked, looking up after snuggling in Josie's arms for a while.

“It’s alright now. It’s getting late. Let’s stay here one more night and go home tomorrow!” Josie said, touching her cheek.

Just as he said, his safe and sound presence here means that the matter has been resolved.

All I can say is that, aside from matters involving women, Howard is generally quite reliable.

The gamma-ray emitter he built was very effective.

The CIA, under the name of Hugh Jones, devised a small trap to lure out Calvin and his henchmen, including the black scientist named Wilkes who possessed the Zero Matter.

Then, with just one shot, Wilkes lost control of Zero Matter.

The next thing is simple.

Wilkes was taken away by the military and became a test subject, where he died that same day due to an "accident".

As for Calvin Chadwick, he also died mysteriously after falling into the hands of the FBI.

Yes, that's right, not the CIA, but the FBI.

All I can say is that the FBI during Hoover's era was truly amazing. Josie thought he had done a good enough job of keeping things secret, but the FBI had a nose like a dog and intercepted him halfway through.

Josie didn't have a good solution to this, because the case itself fell within the FBI's jurisdiction. In fact, the CIA was the one overstepping its authority, and even the military's support wouldn't help.

However, the FBI made one miscalculation: whether the case was theirs or not was actually not important to the CIA.

The key point is to prevent Calvin from saying too much after his arrest.

And it wasn't just Josie who didn't want Calvin to speak.

And then there are the bigwigs on the council who are still alive.

They all hated Calvin to death, and given that Calvin knew so many of the Council's secrets, it was impossible for them to let him continue living.

So, Senator Vernon, one of the bigwigs on the council and a New York State senator, used his connections in the FBI's New York office to get Calvin shot himself.

Yes, a real gunshot wound.

I ate at least ten pounds.

I heard her stomach burst from overeating.

This led to a legend circulating within the FBI's New York office about gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins.

What? You're saying this is just fooling around? Then go down and ask them yourself!

This is 1947!

In an era when the media industry still relies mainly on newspapers and radio, whatever the authorities say is law, believe it or not!

After dealing with Calvin, the rest was quite simple.

The CIA and FBI have identified Ouroboros and Hugh Jones's Blood Guard as the ones cleaning up the shadows.

The remaining board members finished up the work.

However, Josh doesn't need to get involved in these things personally; others will handle them. It's more important for him to come back and see his wife and children.

“It doesn’t matter whether we go back or not. As long as you’re here, anywhere is home!” Margot said, nuzzling Josie.

“You too!” Josie smiled upon hearing this.

"Daddy, I...give you a hug!" Just as Josie and her husband were feeling very affectionate, two wailing voices came from not far away. It turned out that the two children who were playing happily had come over to join in the fun when they saw their father.

Upon hearing the voices of the two little devils, Josie's expression changed drastically.

Children around two years old are at a stage where they are both incredibly destructive and often disliked. Margot, as the mother, is very gentle and tolerant of her two children, but Josie, as the father, is genuinely afraid of these two little devils and tries to avoid them whenever possible...

All I can say is that he and Margot are truly in love, and these two little ones were really just an accident.

"Hahaha, come on, let's see who can catch Daddy!" Margot laughed when she saw Josie's expression. This man was sometimes more childlike than a child, which was quite amusing. She immediately encouraged the two children to catch Josie, while warning Josie with a murderous look.

In the end, Josh had no choice but to pick up the two kids, one in each arm, and let them tug at his hair and tie. As for his beard, Josh had only just turned 20, so his beard was naturally short, and he didn't have the habit of growing one. His face was always clean.

Margot's face beamed with happiness as she watched the father and his two children playing together.

And Josie was enjoying it.

However, this easy time did not last long before it was interrupted by news from Wakanda.

After Wakanda was destroyed, the vibranium mine was jointly managed by five countries: the United States and Russia each held 20%, the other three each held 10%, and the remaining 30% was divided equally among the other member states of the UN forces.

This did not surprise Josie.

Surprisingly, of the three members of the super soldier squad he sent out, only Carter survived; the other two were corpses.

Seeing this, Josie was completely baffled.

Why would the Winter Soldier team up with Andrew to target Carter and Luke?

What? The Winter Soldier's previous control was secretly stolen by Calvin, and Andrew is also one of Calvin's men?

Oh, that's all right now...

"Tell me, what's the plan for the Aetheran Corporation? And who will take control of the Winter Soldier? The council is short two seats; should we fill them?" A few days later, before Carter returned to the United States, the council reconvened in New York after a period of turmoil.

This time, however, the person sitting in the chief seat was no longer Thomas, but Hugh Jones.

Josie moved from her original seat at the back to the first seat to Hugh Jones' left!

Alfred Malik's position was only slightly moved up, replacing Calvin's original position. His status was not improved much, and he was still ranked last among the existing board members.

Unfortunately, this person's performance during this council turmoil was rather lackluster, even worse than Senator Vernon.

No one had any objections to this new situation on the council, nor did anyone dare to.

I'll post 2,000 chapters first, and there will be another one before morning.

Chapter 171 Gu Yi

The council quickly decided on how to handle the aftermath of the unrest.

As for First Citigroup, just like when Malik's father died, apart from direct assets, control of most of its businesses was essentially "managed" by board members.

Thomas's family members were reduced to mere spectators who could only receive dividends.

That's still good.

Because Calvin Chadwick was the first to violate the unspoken rules, most of his personal assets were directly confiscated by the judicial authorities and local governments at various states and counties, and then resold at a low price to other members of the council, where they were completely divided up.

Fortunately, this guy is still young and has no direct descendants.

Otherwise, they might also suffer.

Control of the Winter Soldier was handed over to Vernon, a New York senator, to help handle some of the council's "miscellaneous" matters.

The council position was temporarily put on hold because there were no suitable candidates – the original nine-member council was reduced to a seven-member council.

No one had any objections to this – it's definitely better for seven people to share than for nine.

Carter returned shortly after the council meeting ended.

"Alright, this isn't your fault. Even if it is, it's my fault. I misjudged people. Don't just stand there. I'll give you a long vacation so you can spend some time with your brother!" In the laboratory inside the Sector 51 base, Josie glanced at the two frozen super soldier corpses and patted Carter on the shoulder.
