Coulson didn't want Ling Xiao to get too involved in the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D., which Ling Xiao had already noticed, especially after the First World War in Washington, when it was basically said that Captain America Rogers alone fundamentally shook the foundation of the Hydra project, which ultimately led to the failure of their plan.

Rogers' prestige is so high that when he publicly stands up and accuses a certain person, a significant number of people choose to trust him unconditionally.

Coulson didn't want Ling Xiao to become the second Captain America, once the Avengers had too much influence on S.H.I.E.L.D., it would in turn affect S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own decision-making, which Coulson didn't want to see.

Ling Xiao didn't care so much, after leaving Coulson's base, Ling Xiao directly turned into a golden light and flew into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

There are many people who have seen this scene, including Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and the federal agents who are monitoring the new S.H.I.E.L.D. outside, people have never stopped exploring the strength of the Avengers, even if Ling Xiao turned into golden light and left, they immediately turned on the radar to track.

However, it is very possible, Ling Xiao's speed is very fast, and his flight altitude is not high, using the cover between the tall buildings, he has completely escaped from tracking, and no one knows where he has gone.

Philadelphia, here is the fifth largest city in the United States, Philadelphia is strategically located, about 160 kilometers from New York in the northeast, about 220 kilometers from the capital Washington in the southwest, the population of the entire metropolitan area exceeds 10 million, and it is the third economic city in the eastern United States after New York and Washington.

The Port of Philadelphia is one of the largest estuarine ports in the world, Philadelphia International Airport has one of the highest passenger and freight traffic in China, and Philadelphia's 30th Street Station is one of the rail hubs in the northeastern United States and the third busiest station in the Amtrak system.

Melinda, Barbara, and Hunter lead a crew to follow Ward's trail to Philadelphia, and no one knows whether he wants to take a boat from the Port of Philadelphia, take a plane at Philadelphia International Airport, take a train from a crowded Philadelphia station, or lurk directly in Philadelphia.

Fortunately, now there is a certain consensus between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the U.S. government, and with the help of the Philadelphia Police Department's system, they finally found Ward's whereabouts, he was neither in the port of Philadelphia, did not appear at the international airport, nor did he plan to take the train, let alone want to stay in Philadelphia, but chose to leave on the city bus and prepare to go to Atlanta.

Without waiting or admitting it, Ward knew S.H.I.E.L.D. too well, not only did he choose the most neglected means of transportation to travel, but when May led his men to surround the long-distance station, Ward immediately smelled a familiar smell in the air, and soon he found several people who were suspected to be S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

I saw that he avoided the sight of the crowd and hugged the corner of his clothes a little towards the location of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and a row of C4 bombs densely tied to his waist appeared in the eyes of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, knowing that it was the amount of bombs that could directly blow up the entire block.

Coulson, who was sitting in the rear, immediately instructed the team in front to stop moving, he knew in his heart that Ward was definitely not bluffing!

Ward took the bus directly to Atlanta, he did not choose to get off halfway, but went directly to the Atlante station, and then chose to transfer directly in the station, although May had rushed to Atlanta with people one step ahead of time, and made careful arrangements, but when Ward threatened the lives of the entire car, Melinda could not do anything, especially every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent was recognized by him.

Boston, this is Ward's third stop, and this time he did not choose to leave directly from Boston, but chose to enter the city.

You know, Boston, as the capital of Massachusetts, has a very high population density, and as an old city, Boston's central streets have no planning at all.

Not only that, but Boston also has a large airport, port, train station, bus station, underground tunnels, and is also the eastern starting point of Interstate 90, which leads directly to Seattle on the West Coast, and is even more worrying, it is less than 300 kilometers from the U.S.-Canada border.

However, just as Melinda and the others were trying their best to track down Ward and were about to take the opportunity to attack him, he stopped himself and entered a bar, and not long after, an equally familiar person appeared in the bar.

This man was Whitehall's assistant Bakshi, who had also met with Creel and wanted to take the obelisk from him.

May decisively chose to do it, but when she gathered all the people and entered the bar, everyone was shocked.

Inside the bar, Ward was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a pile of corpses in the bar, except for the bartender, some of Bakshi's men, and when they entered the room, they found Bakshi who had been knocked unconscious and tied up.

At the same time, Coulson finally figured out what the GH serum had left in his memory, which was a map of an ancient city.

When he got Bakshi, knowing that they, Coulson and Garrett, were looking for a map of a city, Coulson's attention immediately diverted from Ward's body, on the one hand, he asked Barbara to interrogate Bakshi himself, and on the other hand, he personally led his men to the world to find cities that matched the map of the city, because he knew in his heart that the obelisk would lead Hydra there.

At this time, Ward's attention was not on Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., he was looking for his brother Christian Ward.

The conflict between their brothers is very deep, more than ten years ago, the Ward brothers were not the only two of them, they also had a younger brother named Thomas.

It was Christian who pushed Thomas into the well, and Ward, who was not allowed to see it, to save his brother.

This matter has always been a shadow in Ward's heart, and he wants to know why, why Christian did that, and treated Thomas so viciously, to treat him, to deal with his own brother!

To be honest, Ling Xiao was originally just secretly following Grant Ward, and he had his own plans, especially after Grant Ward first asked Bakshi to call Whitehall to make an appointment, he immediately turned his face and killed all of Bakshi's men, and even he himself was imprisoned.

This shows that Grant Ward's next plan is to meet Whitehall, and before meeting Whitehall, he first found his brother who was on the family estate in Massachusetts and was about to go on a date with his lover!

With Ward's skills, by surprise, he quickly killed two of Christian's bodyguards and grabbed him directly.

"Okay, are we going to talk, or are we going camping?" Christian was pushed by Grant towards the hill behind the family's estate, and he persuaded in a deep voice, "Listen, I don't know what Hydra wants, but I'm sure you and I can come up with a better way than kidnapping a senator from a country." ”

Grant couldn't help but sneer and said, "You're wrong, my brother, Hydra doesn't care about you at all!" ”

"Do they care about you?" Christian immediately retorted and asked, "Did they protect you?" No, I'm the one who got you out of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

"yes, then I'll be executed!" Grant gave Christian a hard hand, and said hatefully: "Until the public trial, this face of yours has been in the national media." ”

"Is that what you think?" Christian couldn't help but be full of anger and said, "If I hadn't brokered this deal, according to Coulson, and publicly announced it on TV, would we all be here now?" You have been set free because of me. ”

"No!" Grant grabbed Christian, stared at his eyes, and said coldly: "I killed this bloody path by myself." ”

"Bloodpath?" Christian sneered disdainfully and said, "How many did you kill?" The four members of that special team I sent? ”

What Christian said made a lot of sense, he couldn't have been unaware of Ward's awesomeness, but he only sent four people to escort him, everything was calculated!
