I sparked a mythological frenzy in Marvel.

Chapter 102 Innate Ox and Horse Sacred Body

"Director Xia, no, no, Your Majesty the Wilderness King, this is probably not in accordance with the rules."

The New York governor's face instantly turned ugly. Even if you were just crowned king by the Son of God, it's too arrogant of you to remove me from my governorship with just a word.

"Then, Governor, tell me what rule this violates?"

The New York governor looked at his party members and quickly replied, "First, we need to hold primaries. Only candidates nominated by the party can represent the party in the subsequent general election."

Xia Ling looked at the group of people behind him and asked, "Aren't you willing to nominate Coulson as your candidate?"

"Your Majesty, as a senior member of the party, I believe your proposal deserves serious consideration."

Agent Coulson's competence and courage during numerous crises have earned him the respect of all of us. If he were to lead New York State, I believe it would be a fresh start.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are willing to nominate Agent Coulson as our candidate."

Following suit, others echoed this sentiment, expressing their support for Coulson's nomination as a candidate.

The unanimous agreement made the New York governor's face darken, especially now that Agent Coulson hadn't shown up yet—what crisis could he possibly be solving?

Is it referring to the time when Banner was knocked unconscious with a crowbar? The key question is whether the crowbar was good or not; anyone could have used it.

"His Majesty."

"Just call me Director."

"Okay, Director Xia, even if you get the party nomination, there still has to be an election and the voters have to agree. If Agent Coulson is really capable of leading New York State, he can definitely stand out in the election and get the position he deserves."

The New York governor was disheartened, but he still refused to give up and instead steered the conversation toward the voters.

"Look over there, do you think any voters would disagree with the candidate I've nominated?"

"this"

Following Xia Ling's finger, the New York governor looked around and saw crowds of people bowing and worshipping the statues everywhere; their fervor was obvious.

Moreover, in New York today, this is probably not an isolated case but a widespread phenomenon.

"I'm still in office."

"Why not just impeach him? I'm sure there are plenty of people in the state legislature who want to impeach you, right?"

Now the governor doesn't need to worry about anything; there are definitely a lot of people who want him to step down.

If he were to be impeached, it would undoubtedly pass unanimously.

The New York governor's face turned from pale to ashen, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He clearly hadn't expected the conversation to take such a sharp turn, even touching on his political career.

He tried to maintain his composure, but his voice trembled slightly.

"Director Xia, are you... threatening me? New York State is a democratic society governed by the rule of law, and any decision should follow the principles of justice and due process."

"Mr. Governor, I am not threatening you, I am just stating a fact. Agent Coulson's abilities and his popularity among the public far surpass those of the average candidate."

As for the election you're worried about, in my view, it's just a formality. The people are discerning; they crave real heroes and change.

Do you want to hear what you're saying? That Agent Coulson, is he even competent? Does the public even know who he is?

"As for impeachment, it is not my personal wish, but the will of the people. When the voice of the people gathers into a sea, any obstacle will be washed away. The voice in the state legislature must ultimately respond to the call of the people."

After saying this, Xia Ling glanced at the former governor of New York with a hint of amusement.

The former governor of New York was struggling internally, feeling that he was at a disadvantage in this sudden political storm.

He looked at the fervently worshipping crowd around him, his heart filled with mixed emotions; his political career was probably coming to an end.

"Okay, Director Xia, I will respect the will of the people and will consider pushing for Agent Coulson's nomination within the party. However, the election still needs to be held, and the voters should decide their future."

The New York governor's tone now carried a hint of helplessness and compromise.

Xia Ling nodded, pleased to see the change in the other party's attitude.

"Of course, that's the power of democracy. I believe the Colcentr union will prove everything with its actions, winning the trust and support of voters. As for elections, how about holding a general election now?"

"Coulson, I've earned you the position of Governor of New York."

As soon as he returned to S.H.I.E.L.D., Xia Ling immediately explained this small matter to his trusted confidant.

Confused, Coulson raised his ethereal face and asked in bewilderment.

"Chief, what are you talking about? Weren't you supposed to be dealing with the evil god?"

Agent Coulson's face was filled with confusion; he had no idea that he had any connection to the position of Governor of New York.

He gently rubbed his temples, trying to glean a clue from Xia Ling's words, but clearly, this sudden "surprise" caught him off guard.

"Chief, I... I don't quite understand. I've been handling departmental tasks; how could that be related to the position of Governor of New York?"

Coulson's voice carried a hint of confusion.

Seeing this, Xia Ling smiled and walked up to Coulson, patting him on the shoulder. He said, "Coulson, you don't need to be surprised. Your composure, decisiveness, and problem-solving abilities, demonstrated in numerous operations, have earned you widespread recognition from the public and party members. They are now enthusiastically discussing making you their candidate for governor of New York."

"Director, this...this is too sudden. I never intended to get involved in politics; my expertise lies in..."

Upon hearing this, Coulson's eyes widened in disbelief. He could hardly believe his ears. What did it mean to have widespread public and party recognition? Did they even know him?

"It's nothing, it's just a governor, it's no big deal. Look at you, so pathetic."

Hearing Xia Ling say this, Coulson was stunned. Since when did the governorship become a trivial matter?

"Chief, what happened to the original governor?"

"After tonight's incident, he decided that he was no longer capable of managing this family, so he voluntarily stepped down."

"Oh, I see."

Coulson took a deep breath, trying to calm his turmoil: "Chief, even if that's the case, what about the election? There hasn't even been an election, so how can..."

"In the recent election, the public unanimously agreed that you were the most suitable candidate to be governor, so they voted for you."

What?! He was elected governor by popular demand? How come I didn't know? Am I the last person to find out?

"Chief, now that I'm the governor, what should I do with the bureau's documents?"

"It's simple, I'll just hand it all over to you to handle, won't I?"

Xia Ling said casually, completely unaware of Coulson's stunned expression, assuming he was overjoyed.

Absolutely! Being able to handle both state government and S.H.I.E.L.D. affairs simultaneously—that's an immense amount of power.
