Chapter 982
Before leaving, you have to think about your own aftermath... Well, unfinished business... It seems that there is ambiguity in how this sentence is said, but that's what it means anyway.
And this thing actually refers to a person, a woman, Victoria Hand. The former high-ranking agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been in custody since she was brought in, and it will take time to get her immunity from the U.S. government, which has not been fully completed until recently.
So the only problem now is to make this capable S.H.I.E.L.D. agent an umbrella agent. But because the Ereda Twins were really busy during this time, they didn't have time to educate her personally, so they had to let Evenson come.
"Evenson Richter, long time no see. After Hande was brought over, he saw Evenson sitting behind his desk, and he was a little surprised, but he couldn't see this expression on his face, "Also, I didn't expect to meet you here." You and I have the Black Chapter Department to serve now. β
"Umbrella, this is the umbrella, haven't you heard the name? But that's not what you're trying to say, to your savior?" Evenson spread his hands and smiled, "You don't know yet?" that plane escorting Garrett, all your people are dead, Ward's hand, he's Hydra. β
"What, is it true?" Hand, hearing the news, was finally a little moved.
"Of course it's true. Evenson nodded, then smiled, "S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to be more devastated than we thought, by the way, it's a good thing you listened to my advice and didn't give the weapon to Ward, otherwise the agents I sent would have had to fish your body out of the sea." β
"You already knew Ward was a traitorβ" Hand's expression turned cold again, but there was clearly suppressed anger in his voice, "but you didn't tell anyone. β
"You know very well how the Aegis are managed. There are small secrets in the big secrets. Evenson tilted his head and smiled, "There are some things that you really can't say when the time comes." β
Afraid of startling the snake, or is there some other purpose? Of course, Victoria Hand knew the way S.H.I.E.L.D. did things, and there were at least ten or more legitimate reasons for such things. But I'm thinking now what are I doing here" At that time, your agent found my plane, and that agent could have saved everyone, but left my people on the plane to die. β
"Seriously, I really don't like you at all. Evenson retracted his smile, "I saved you, but instead of thanking you, you just complained that I didn't save anyone else, as if I had some obligation to you, which is not a good quality." β
"Seeing death without saving you when you can is not a good quality is not a good quality. Hand said-for-tat, "Also, I don't like you either." β
"Good. Evenson clapped his hands, "Then I can just talk about business." β
"Do I have anything to talk to you about?" a stiff smile tugged at Hand's face, "I'm a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and what are you doing now?" Sorry, you're the Umbrella Man now. β
"But that's why it's official. Evenson looked at the time and smiled mysteriously, "It's time for the press conference, do you want to see it?"
After speaking, without waiting for Hand's consent, he turned on the TV without saying anything, and the picture showed a female reporter holding a microphone, and the background was the former headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Sanqu Wing Building.
"Not long ago, a terrible accident happened in this place, the world's largest intelligence organization suddenly collapsed, and the terrorists of Hydra almost realized their insidious plan, but fortunately, the Black Seal Department and Captain America successfully defended the freedom of this world, please thank them again. β
And today, this building, which was once full of secrets, will usher in a new change. β
As the female reporter spoke, the camera in the frame zoomed in. The huge eagle emblem that had once been embedded in the building's exterior wall was removed and replaced with a new logo, a red and white umbrella with the letters "Umbrella" underneath.
In the midst of that turmoil, Sambora transferred all the budget funds of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a year, as well as the huge amount of money equivalent to the US government's military spending for a year. It was with some of this money that the Ereda Twins bought the building. Using S.H.I.E.L.D.'s money to buy a S.H.I.E.L.D. building is really something that a demon can do.
Of course, although the Ereda Twins have been bought, they have not yet been officially handed over. Because as the reporter said just now, this building is full of secrets, and the people of the U.S. government have to toss around in it for a while, but this does not prevent the Ereda Twins from going over to record a portrait and hang up the logo.
"Umbrella, the sudden rise of the conglomerate bought the building and claimed to provide us with reliable security services, and now we are going to interview two of the company's sensibles. King Ida and King Kara. β
Now the camera cuts to the office on the top floor of the building, where Nick Fury once was, but sitting behind the desk are the humanoid Ereda Twins.
"First of all, we must understand one thing, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra disappeared at the same time, which does not prove that we are safe, on the contrary, it just proves that the danger is all around us, and the security protection agency we trust is likely to be the source of the danger, so this world, this country, needs security more than ever. β
Aurethys, or King Ada, said these words very decently. The reporter in charge of the interview continued to ask, "I want to ask, and it is also a question that everyone wants to know, is there any difference between you and S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"The difference is that we're going to do better. Oresses said with a confident smile.
The reporter asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"Because we collect money. "We are not a government agency, but a private company that works with the government. β
"So, you're here for profit?" the reporter's question was very tricky.
"It's something obvious. Salorath generously admitted, "Of course we need to make a profit as a company, which is why we can guarantee to do better than S.H.I.E.L.D." β
"Because we know that the people are our customers, and we collect money from the customers, so we have to be responsible for the customers, after all, the customers are God, so it is not us who commands the people, but the people who command us. β
"So you're a servant?"
"Think of it that way, except that we provide a security service, don't forget to tip. After saying that, Oreses winked playfully.
At this time, another reporter asked, "As far as I know, the umbrella is not just a security organization, it is a huge conglomerate, medical drugs, military industry, aerospace, and a series of cutting-edge technologies, which you seem to be involved in." β
"That's right. "It's a beautiful world, but there's still room for improvement, but why not when we have the ability to contribute to the progress of this world?"
"But you're still going to make money from these projects. β
"Of course, companies need to make a profit, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and I think this is the most common axiom in this country. β
"Don't you think you should let your advanced projects benefit more people?"
"Of course, but it also requires the cooperation of the government. Salorath smiled and said, "We are a company, we are responsible for invention and production, of course, we also make money, and the other problems are the problems of the government, pay attention to people's livelihood, let the people enjoy a better world, isn't this the purpose of our election of the government?"
The Q&A went on and on, and the Ereda Twins were always so unhurried. This is normal, because the Ereda Twins can't be asked by a few reporters, and have you forgotten that these two female demons have their own media? And a large part of the journalists present belong to this outlet, so... These questions are actually designed in advance.
Bang bang bang... Evenson applauded, and said with emotion, "That's a good thing, I'm about to believe it." So, Ms. Hand, what do you think now. β
"I don't think much of it. Hand's heart is actually very touched, the base camp of S.H.I.E.L.D. has now become someone else's, which is really ironic, but fortunately it is not the Hydra logo hanging on it, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has never been a place, but agents who fight for this ideal, and the place where the agents are is S.H.I.E.L.D." β
"Where the leaves fly, the flames will never stop, are you the will of the Aegis? Evenson couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You must know that now that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been designated as an illegal organization, it took us a lot of effort to get you immunity, and it would be a shame if you turned around and got involved with them." β
"And you don't have to pretend to be so loyal, you've been desperate for S.H.I.E.L.D., haven't you? You came to my house with a gas canister, and if you weren't desperate, would you do that?"
"Okay. Hand sighed and said, "I'm desperate for S.H.I.E.L.D., but just because I don't join them doesn't mean I have to join you. β
"And what do you want to do?" Evenson snorted, "Get out of here, do you know how many intelligence organizations want to throw you in a black cell? Even considering your immunity, I'm afraid you'll need to spend the rest of your life under the full surveillance of the agents, and it's possible that if you go down the wrong street, you'll be pushed to the ground by a team of special forces." β
"It's a really bad life. Hand pouted, she had been an agent for most of her life and was suddenly idle at home, and she had to live a life similar to house arrest, she really didn't know if she could adapt to it, "I despair of S.H.I.E.L.D. because I found out that I didn't serve S.H.I.E.L.D. at all, but an organization full of conspiracy, and now you let me join this umbrella, how do I know what kind of organization this is?"
"Look with your eyes!" Evenson stood up and said, "The position we have for you is the Chief of Operations, which means that all the operations of our company are under your specific command, and this authority is somewhat similar to... Mariah Hill, I think that's enough to give you a clear idea of what kind of company it is. β
"Can you see clearly? I used to be a Level 8 agent, but I couldn't see S.H.I.E.L.D., Maria Hill, does he see the changes in S.H.I.E.L.D."
"And as I said on TV just now, this company is involved in so many fields, and with this kind of strength, I'm afraid it's not much worse or even stronger than Hydra, who can guarantee that you won't be the same as Hydra?"
"Hmm... This question. Evenson looked at his watch, "Yesterday... It was the day before yesterday that I met Nick Fury, and don't be surprised, he wasn't dead. I've discussed this with him about this, so I don't want to water with you again, and now I'm in a hurry, so long story short. β
"We have ambitions for the world, but not like Hydra. "We don't want to rule the world, and we don't want to rule it the way Hydra does." β
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because we don't care. Evenson smiled mysteriously, "To you, this world, the earth, seems to be all there is, but for us... Earth is just one of the nine worlds of Asgard. An inconspicuous planet in the vast galaxy, a tiny speck of dust in the entire universe, ruling it... What's the point?"
"Let's see who this is, right?" Evenson knew she didn't believe it when he saw Hand's expression, so he picked up the remote control and changed the lens of the TV, "With your previous privileges in S.H.I.E.L.D., you should know her." β
"She'sβ" Hand's eyes narrowed, looking at the woman in armor and holding a bottle of vodka in the picture, "Asgardians, Sif yes, that's her." How could she be on Earth. β
"Come to me. Evenson put on a smug look, but it was hard to recall the daunting look he had when he saw Sif a few hours ago, "I'm an advisor, not just for S.H.I.E.L.D., but also for Asgard's royal family. We have a partnership with Asgard. β
Don't believe it, my wife's family has just contracted Odin to build the Earth Palace" and, if it weren't for you, I'd have now accepted his invitation to go to Asgard to complete my consulting work. β
Evenson snapped his fingers at this time, and Hand heard a heavy footstep, turned his head to look and opened his mouth in surprise. A full eighteen tyrants, along with three women with standing masks, walked in.
"This is our company's mercenaries. "However, these mercenaries do not operate on Earth, they will be armed and go to alien planets, and they will soon be gone." Evenson waved his hand to the tyrants to step down.
"When you are still looking at this planet, our company has gone to the universe, we know better than anyone how many opportunities there are in the universe, how much benefit the universe can bring us, a planet like Earth? β
"And according to the company's plan, we will land on Mars to carry out interstellar colonization within five years, is the earth really that important?"
"Is this true?" Victoria Hand was genuinely shocked if... I mean, if what this guy says is true, then... They seem to be the least ambitious people to rule the planet. People who own the sea will not put a pearl in their eyes.
"If it's not true, why do you think the three major chaebols cooperate with us?
"Also, our interstellar colonization program is carried out in conjunction with Stark Enterprises, and he authorized us to use his robotics, and if you don't believe me, I can also show you the contract. β
"So... My time is precious, what about your answer?"
Victoria Hand is re-estimating the company, which is now in the universe, so some of the advanced technology they have at their disposal may indeed have been invented by them, but some of it may also have been obtained from aliens. So they rely on their monopoly on this channel to make money on the earth with extraterrestrial technology, which... Isn't it just a dog comprador?
But money is not so important, and it is impossible for this company to spend such a large stall purely to make money. They are now opening up these technologies little by little, I have to say that this is a very rational approach, the development of science and technology is most afraid of seedlings and towers in the air, come up with too advanced and advanced technology, it can indeed make people happy for a while, but the fault line caused by this is extremely terrible, human science and technology may go to the wrong path, after reaching a certain length can not move forward, and even need to be overturned.
So, win-win, this company takes resources and money from the earth, but it does drive the progress of human science and technology.
Is there anything you have to hesitate about?" β
"Yay. Evenson took out two major contracts and put them on the table, "I'm in a hurry, you just sign these two contracts on the table, thirty years of contract and thirty years of death, in short, across 2077, and you are now in the internship period, during which there is no bonus, no salary, only basic living allowance, our company adopts statutory holidays, but it is best to be able to work overtime, if you don't have overtime pay, we will be very grateful to you..."
Well... Maybe this company really wants to make money!
