Seeing Peggy's back disappear from sight, Howard put away the smile on his face and waved the secretary to close the office door.

After a moment of deep thought, he pulled out a cell phone from a drawer.

Enter the encrypted channel and dial a phone with an unknown contact.

Drip, drip, drip.

It rang three times before someone answered.

"What's the matter with you guys? As I've said, try to keep a low profile and keep your hands and feet clean to avoid leaving any clues to follow. ”

Howard flexed his fingers and tapped the table hard to express his frustration.

He finally used the reason to cooperate with the White House and give S.H.I.E.L.D. an excuse to seek external support, fooling Peggy Carter.

But this is only a delaying tactic.

As the current top leader of S.H.I.E.L.D., Peggy Carter has far more power in his hands than Howard understands.

For example, the Red House.

The spy agency, originally affiliated with the Leviathan, has become the secretariat of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The beautiful "Nightingales" are specially trained and then assigned to various departments to serve as confidential secretaries and the like.

In a way, they were Peggy Carter's eyes and ears, allowing the female commander to control the internal situation of S.H.I.E.L.D. more effectively.

No disturbance can hide from the sight of the Red House.

There's also the field team led by Nick Fury, the mutant academy of White Queen Emma Frost......

These are independent institutions that Howard has no hands on and no authority to direct.

The only place he can infiltrate is the scientific research department.

And that's not all, like Anim Zola, Bolívar Teslac...... The laboratory they are in charge of is not allowed to outsiders to enter at all.

As for Howard Stark, that's even more unwelcome.

"This guy's popularity is really bad!"

Thinking of this, "Howard" complained.

Obviously, he is not himself.

"We've been careful enough, S.H.I.E.L.D. has too many eyeliners and too many forces, and it's impossible to completely avoid their attention."

On the other end of the phone, there was a complaining voice.

"The strength of this planet is not very strong, we can completely control the upper echelons of the human race, and then dissolve S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Those superheroes, and mutants...... They are all very well-behaved, as long as they use the pressure of public opinion to persecute and divide, I believe that it will not be long before they will become a plate of loose sand! ”

Howard frowned, as if he was a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "Are you teaching me to do things?" ”

He was the commander of the advance force of the Skrull Empire this time.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just ...... Suggestion. ”

The voice coming from the mobile phone immediately lowered.

"You only see the first layer, and I think about the second layer, the third layer."

Howard cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "S.H.I.E.L.D. not only has the authority of the World Security Council, but as far as I know, it also has a close relationship with the magicians of the three major temples. ”

"Besides, rush into action, in case that guy called Superman ...... It's out, how do you end it? ”

The impostor has searched the memories of Howard Stark himself, and Luke Cavill has some knowledge of the vanishing director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The impression left by the other party to the public is only the word "powerful".

This is the first thought that most people think of when they mention the director.

"We should be careful and make sure that the task is completed."

Howard was serious and advised: "Don't cause any more trouble on your side, increase the intensity of infiltration, and try to wipe out the military top brass, I will continue to inquire about the news of the 'Pegasus Project', as well as the whereabouts of Dr. Mar-Weil and the Lightspeed Engine of the Kree Empire." ”

Then he gave a few more commands before hanging up.

Howard Stark is a big player in S.H.I.E.L.D. and also loves to run around.

So, he was directly selected by the advance force of the Skrulls and became the first object of camouflage.

And Peggy Carter, who is also in a high position, is too complex to have a complex network and often goes in and out between the White House and the Council headquarters, and the Skrulls are not easy to start.

"Superman ......"

The Skrull chief disguised as Howard Stark, narrows his eyes.

As we all know, the S.H.I.E.L.D. chief has disappeared for a long time.

Considering that there had been similar disappearances before, the Skrrull chief chose to stay in hiding.

Finding the Lightspeed Engine to contribute to the Skrull's grandeur is the priority.

The conquest of the earth can be slowed down a little.

……

……

"What do you think about this?"

In the headquarters building, in the office on the top floor, Peggy asked softly with one hand on her chin.

Across from her, sat Nick Fury.

"About Mr. Stark?"

Nick Fury weighed over the words, he is currently an eighth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., responsible for the management of the field team.

"If it's just a little abnormal, it doesn't prove anything. There is sometimes a fine line between a genius and a madman...... Moreover, Mr. Stark is not usually normal. ”

"I often tell bad jokes that no one understands, and then lock myself in the laboratory alone, and I don't go out for ten days and half a month......"

Nick Fury hasn't had much contact with Howard Stark, and it's hard to understand for a moment what Peggy Carter's abnormal behavior is about.

"Steve, how is he doing?"

Instead of dwelling on the topic, Peggy brought up Captain America, who had long since retired.

"Uh, Captain Rogers and his wife, and...... Bucky Barnes, they're living just fine. ”

Nick Fury replied with a strange look on his face.

If you ignore the second half of the sentence, you can think that Captain America is happily married.

But add the second half of the sentence, and it will seem strange.

It's obviously a peaceful life for two people, why is there an extra discordant existence?

"Get Steve, S.H.I.E.L.D. needs Captain America's help."

Peggy's face is nonchalant, she has become accustomed to the close brotherhood of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes.

Frankly, every time she gets at a family gathering, she even thinks that Margaery, Captain America's wife, is the superfluous one.

"Understood."

Nick Fury's heart sank, and he nodded.

Not only is Peggy preparing to ask Captain America out of the mountain, but she also plans to contact the White Queen Emma Frost to remind the mages of the Three Templars.

Her instincts told her that unknown changes were taking place and that a terrible storm had begun to brew.

S.H.I.E.L.D. must be prepared to deal with it and ensure that it is not defeated.

Peggy methodically issues instructions until all the work at hand is taken care of.

She rubbed her temples, relieving her fatigue.

Every time she was free, the female commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't help but think of the bastard who pushed her job to herself and was not responsible at all.

"If Superman is still around, how can there be these problems."

Peggy shook her head and smiled wryly.

Luke will always be the anchor of S.H.I.E.L.D., and with his presence, everything will be calm.

But with Superman's departure, the world becomes turbulent.

……

……

Ignorantly, the building of the Devan Group.

"After drinking, did you feel better?"

Glancing at the drunken Captain Marvel, Luke asked, putting down his glass.

In the past few hours, the other party has almost wiped out all his inventory.

Cup after cup, bottle after bottle, and it didn't stop.

"Okay, much better."

Carol stammered.

"Do you want to go back to Earth?"

Luke suggests that returning to familiar surroundings can evoke warm memories deeper inside Carol.

"Earth?"

Carol's eyelids were a little heavy.

"It's not a direct flight from New York to London, how can it be so easy."

There is an unknown distance between the void and the earth.

Even if Captain Marvel completely unleashes the power in his body and flies at the speed of light, it will take some time.

"It's a lot easier for me than flying from New York to London."

Luke smiled, and the Yong-Rog gang left it to the collector to negotiate with the Kree Empire, and he decided to go back first.

Taros, a Skuru who surrendered, had already said that an advance force had rushed to Earth to find the lightspeed engine developed by Mar Will.

If something happens, S.H.I.E.L.D. may not be able to handle it.

Syllable!

Luke snapped his fingers lightly.

A teleportation portal formed in an instant.
