"Madam, what are your thoughts on the city hero, Silver Musketeer?"
"He's a warmonger, a despicable dwarf! Oh, forgive my rudeness, but just three days ago, his clash with terrorists killed my Thor!"
A sorrowful woman's voice came from the radio.
"What? Such a thing exists? I didn't know Thor was your..."
The reporter was shocked, not expecting that this person had been killed, and hurriedly pressed for more information.
“It’s my beloved dog. I’ve always treated it like my own son. I never imagined that I would outlive my own child. I think the Silver Musketeer should be held responsible for this!”
reporter:"……"
"Is this my fault too?"
Pietro stood there, dumbfounded.
“Pete…”
"It's fine."
Luo Xing patted Wanda's head, whose eyes were filled with worry, and said.
He had already guessed this outcome, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
The interviews are still ongoing.
At first, a few people spoke up for Pietro, but later they all demanded that he compensate for the damage he caused and be punished.
"As expected, they're a whole bunch of leeks (victims of exploitation)."
Luo Xing stepped forward, turned off the broadcast, and remarked with emotion.
A few days ago, Luo Xing learned about the city's past from Wanda, and with the recent appearance of so-called "terrorists," he had already discovered the problem.
The so-called "terrorists" were actually Hydra soldiers stationed at an experimental base in the forests surrounding Sokovia.
Hydra can infiltrate even S.H.I.E.L.D. and the UN Security Council, let alone a small government like Sokovia.
The so-called terrorist attacks, robberies, and thefts were nothing more than a self-directed and self-acted drama by the Hydra Foundation at the experimental base, which was facing another shortage of funds.
The citizens of Sokovia are the leeks that Hydra is exploiting for sustainable development, leeks that can do nothing but protest and march.
Chapter Twenty-Two: People from S.H.I.E.L.D. Arrive
They fished until noon.
Seeing the bucket full of fish and shrimp, Yumi was already drooling.
"What, aren't you going to do it for me?"
They fished until noon.
Seeing the bucket full of fish and shrimp, Yumi was already drooling.
"What, not going to be your superhero anymore?"
Luo Xing led the sleepy-eyed little Wanda over and sat down on a nearby wooden stake.
"I'm not going. This world is too dirty."
Pietro, with a sullen face and a resentful look, forcefully threw the bait into the lake.
“Those people were really going too far. Pete was clearly helping them.”
Little Wanda, holding the radio, also looked indignant.
Hearing Pietro's cynical words, Luo Xing couldn't help but laugh and put his hand on Pietro's shoulder: "You're already done for after just one setback? This world has both filth and beauty; you're just too young to have experienced much."
This world is neither black nor white, but a delicate shade of gray.
Pietro didn't speak, but his expression of grief and indignation did gradually disappear.
In any case, Pietro and Wanda are only in their early teens, and their worldview and values are still developing.
Their parents passed away at this time, and Luo Xing happened to appear in their lives, which led them to subconsciously rely on Luo Xing and gravitate towards Luo Xing's values.
"Would you like to hear something uplifting?"
Luo Xing took the radio from Xiao Wangda's arms, pulled out the antenna, and pressed the switch.
"Ok?"
Pietro looked at the radio that had broken his heart. Last night, he had been outside alone, listening to the evening news, only to find that the entire broadcast consisted of citizens demanding compensation from him for their losses.
Even the Sokovia authorities have issued a notice that police will be deployed to intercept the "Silver Musketeer" the next time he appears, and that he will be arrested if he refuses to compensate citizens for their losses.
Sokovia's official forces were notorious and universally condemned, with citizens frequently staging demonstrations to protest the government's inaction and its exploitation of taxpayers' money.
Now, the official forces have come out and criticized Pietro, and he's suddenly become the good guy!
Click. Sizzle—
The radio was turned on, first with a static sound, then the familiar broadcast voice came through.
"Urgent notification, urgent notification! The Sokovia Bank and jewelry store in this city were attacked again by terrorists at 9:50 a.m. today."
"But ladies and gentlemen, please don't panic. We will be safe soon because... someone will come to rescue us, and yes, someone will come to protect our property!"
sizzle-
Another hissing sound followed.
"Damn it, those incompetent officials, why haven't they arrived yet? The robbers have already left!! We want to march! We want to protest!!!"
The radio host's exasperated voice came through the radio.
Judging from the voice, all the listeners knew that the robbery must have cost the host a considerable amount of money.
"This is truly delightful news."
Pietro knew he shouldn't be gloating at this moment, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's time for us to leave. Is there anything we'll miss?"
Luo Xing glanced at a black-clad agent standing beside their cabin in the distance, smiled, and asked the two men.
"Nothing."
"Where are we going?"
"How do we get there? By plane? Or by ship?"
Pietro and Wanda's eyes lit up. Instead of showing any sorrow about leaving their homeland, they asked a series of questions.
"Well, then we'll have to ask that agent whether he's prepared a ship or a plane for us."
Luo Xing pointed to the black-clad agents who were walking towards the lake.
"Sir, I've found the target. It's exactly the same as the photo you drew."
The black-clad agent with an impressively receding hairline noticed Luo Xing's gaze and reported into his earpiece.
"Sure enough, he broke free of the seal."
Nick Fury, inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, wore a complex expression.
A few days ago, Nick Fury discovered that a credit card number he had lent to Luo Xing for online spending had suddenly had several new spending records from Eastern Europe a little over ten days ago.
This aroused his suspicion, but he couldn't immediately confirm whether it was Luo Xing who left the seal or whether it was hackers who stole it.
Nick Fury then dispatched one of his most trusted agents, Phil Coulson, to Sokovia to search for traces of Los Angeles.
“Follow him and try to meet his demands. He is a man as great as Steve Rogers, or even greater.”
After a moment of silence, Nick Fury spoke.
Upon hearing this, Coulson was taken aback.
Steve Rogers, Captain America, that's his idol.
Now the director is saying that this person in front of him might be greater than Captain America?
Was it to remind him to be as gentle as possible and not to provoke him with exaggerated words?
Coulson was caught in a dilemma.
After much deliberation, Coulson chose to believe.
“Hello sir, I am Phil Coulson, an agent of the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency. I was sent by Director Nick Fury.”
Coulson straightened his appearance, stepped forward, introduced himself, and handed Luo Xing a secret agent badge: "I heard that you've known the director for many years?"
"That's right, the year you and Nick Fury met aliens together, and he went off to have fun alone without taking you with him."
Luo Xing nodded and said.
Colson: "..."
Chapter Twenty-Three: Arrival at Kamar-Taj
Coulson took several bottles of drinks from the airplane's refrigerator and placed them in front of Luo Xing and his two companions: "Sir, could you tell us what we're going there for?"
This is"
Coulson took several bottles of drinks from the airplane's refrigerator and placed them in front of Luo Xing and his two companions: "Sir, could you tell us what we're going there for?"
This is a S.H.I.E.L.D. transport Quinjet, which is not equipped with any weapons, but has a number of entertainment facilities.
Putting everything else aside, Pietro was sitting in his seat playing on a computer at that moment.
Didn't Nick Fury tell you?
Luo Xing took the juice, took a sip, and asked in return.
"He only told me that I might see some things that would shatter my worldview."
Coulson felt a little annoyed as he recalled Nick Fury's mysterious phone call a few minutes earlier.
"Oh? What else did he say?"
Luo Xing raised an eyebrow. Nick Fury may not have come to see him in person, but he was actually keeping a close eye on him all the time.
He also reminded us that the records of this operation would be kept completely confidential and would not be documented.
