450, Goofy's choice

Goofy listened quietly to Baron Straker's account, and he knew that Straker's words weren't just for the sake of his life.

Since the founding of the Illuminati, Goofy has taken on far more responsibilities than a New York police officer, and the series of things he has done during this time will indeed cause resentment and scruples among those in power.

Possession of Terrigan, development of space warships, and establishment of a training academy for superpowers......

Goofy had actually crossed the line unconsciously, and he had done a lot of things outside of his duties.

But these things are not chosen by Gao Fei at all, and he is also pushed in the course of history.

If he hadn't joined forces with Tony and Reed to transfer Terrigen in the Puerto Rico incident, the number of Inhumans in the world would have to triple at least three times now, and the outbreak of Inhumans would have become completely uncontrollable, and the civil war between humans and Inhumans might have broken out;

If Goofy does not deal with the ice giants and does not unite with Thor to stop Malekith when the celestial bodies converge, then the Nine Realms will be reduced to darkness, and the earth will not even exist;

If Goofy had not joined forces with Yongdu and the Guardians of the Galaxy on the eve of Ronan the Accuser's invasion, then Earth would have fallen under the fire of the Kree at this time, and human civilization would have perished......

Every time Goofy has no choice, the situation in front of him shows him the only way.

It's not that Goofy wants to cross the line, it's that he doesn't have a choice.

He could only go down this path until now.

It wasn't until Baron Straker spoke out about Goofy's situation as a bystander that he realized that his current position was delicate.

He has done a lot for humanity and wants to do more for the world at the same time.

But those in power don't want to give him this opportunity, because those people think that the world is not his, and it is better not to become his.

This creates a contradiction.

Baron Straker looked at the silent Goofy and said with a smile, "Officer Goofy, isn't this dilemma uncomfortable?" In fact, we Hydra have been working on the same problem for centuries......"

"If you disagree, we Hydra are not an evil organization, and we never intended to exterminate humanity. Some of us have a lifelong dream of welcoming back alien masters, such as my mentor Mr. Whitehall, but there are also some people who have a higher ideal to help human society move forward, such as our pioneer Red Skull......"

"But there are always obstacles on the way forward, just like the situation you are in now......"

"So in a way, we're like-minded."

Without waiting for Goofy to respond, Steve walked over and pressed Goofy's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Goofy, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, he's bewitching you." ”

Nick Fury also nodded: "Yes, Goofy, Hydra has always been good at juggling right and wrong, this guy is just making excuses for his own survival." ”

Goofy nodded: "Don't worry, you two, I can tell what Straker said, and I won't be fooled by him." ”

Baron Straker smiled and said, "Yes, Officer Goofy, you should tell if I am confusing you, and whether the situation I am describing is the current fact......"

"I'm willing to give you all the information about Hydra, and I can even give you the most comprehensive list of Hydra insiders to date, including dignitaries and business leaders from various countries, and Hydra has penetrated the world far beyond your imagination......"

"But Officer Goofy, getting rid of the Hydra can't solve your current predicament, let alone save the self-contained human race, human society needs bold innovation!"

"If you want, we can talk a little more, I think you will definitely be inspired by me, and you will definitely ......"

"Sometimes following the rules will drag human society to extinction, and only bold innovation is the way out for human civilization......"

"Officer Goofy, we ......"

However, at this point, Baron Straker's eyes widened!

Blood oozed from the place of his shirt, and it seemed to have been cut by some kind of sharp object!

Steve and Nick Fury, who were standing on either side of Straker, were startled, and Goofy instantly realized who had done everything in front of him.

"Eric!"

Goofy turned around and shouted.

It was Eric who used his ability to use the coins in Baron Straker's clothes as a hidden weapon and stabbed him in the heart.

"Headmaster Goofy, he's bewitching you! This damn Hydra villain is bewitching you! ”

Eric said solemnly,

"I have to stop him, I can't let him trick you!"

Goofy's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Eric, do you think I'll be bewitched by him?" I'll give you one more chance, don't try to fool me! ”

Hearing Goofy's questioning, cold sweat oozed from Eric's forehead, when he was imprisoned by Straker before, Eric had never felt fear, but when Goofy questioned him seriously, Eric actually felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

So taking a deep breath, he finally told the truth.

"Headmaster Goofy, Straker killed my mother! He killed my mother in front of me in order to activate my powers! ”

"But today he actually surrendered, and in good faith, if he was brought back to New York, he would not have died, right?"

"What's more, no one knows how many Hydras there are in the relevant departments of the United States, and the judicial department may have been infiltrated by the Hydra, and if Baron Straker is handed over to them, can my poor deceased mother still get the justice she deserves?"

"I'm sorry, Headmaster Goofy, I'm willing to take responsibility for what I did, but I have to kill Baron Straker and avenge my mother!"

Eric finally told the truth, and his sincere statement aroused the support of many people at the scene.

"Officer Goofy, Eric did the right thing." "Even if he didn't do it, I wouldn't let Straker survive today." ”

"This is what he deserves." The Scarlet Witch nodded.

Goofy didn't rush to comment on Eric's behavior, because Straker in front of him hadn't lost his breath yet.

He had lost a lot of blood, but he was still struggling not to die.

"Straker......" Goofy looked down at him and asked, "Are you satisfied with this fate?" ”

Asking this sentence basically means that Goofy doesn't intend to save him anymore, and Goofy decides to respect Eric's choice and let Straker pay for his sins.

Straker also understood Goofy's intentions, and his treacherous plan to surrender and save his life failed.

At this moment before he died, he struggled to look up at Goofy and sneered, "Goofy, you can never clean up the Hydra......"

"Hydra is not an organization, but a spiritual ......"

"One head is cut off, and two heads are born......"

"We permeate every corner of the world......"

"And you'll be one of us! Goofy, and one day, you'll be a part of Hydra! ”

After saying this, Baron Straker fell to the ground with a "poof", his body convulsed twice, and there was no more movement.

Goofy turned to Eric and said in a calm tone, "Okay, now you have avenged your mother's murder." ”

Eric knew that he had made a mistake, and sincerely lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Headmaster Goofy, I made a mistake in making a decision, and I am willing to bear all the blame!" ”

Goofy was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Forget it, Eric, I won't punish you, you killed a Hydra who tried to bewitch me, and your actions are forgivable."

"Really?" Eric was very surprised, he didn't expect Goofy to let him go.

Everyone else also found it strange, which was not in line with Gao Fei's style, which had always been impartial.

And Gao Fei also hesitated in his heart just now, and then made a decision.

He felt that he had been too conformist and tried to play the role of a New York police officer, but after Baron Straker analyzed his current situation, Goofy realized that he could no longer follow the rules.

Since you can no longer follow the rules, you might as well be bold and innovative, the world needs to change, and Goofy has enough power to change this world.

"Of course it's true." Goofy walked up to Eric and patted him on the shoulder, "If someone kills my mother, I'll kill him myself." ”

Hearing this, Eric smiled heartily.

This was the second time he had smiled in front of Goofy, but it was the first time he had shown a sincere smile to Goofy.

He had thought that the headmaster was just a moral role model, but now it seemed that his definition of the headmaster was too superficial.

He can't wait to start his new life under Goofy's guidance.
