Arkham Asylum disappeared into the horizon, and the SUV steadily left one building after another behind, and Coulson, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was happy but also a little ashamed.

It's a shame that although he said that he gave the players a chance to choose, he actually forced this opportunity out. If he hadn't taken the lead, the players wouldn't have had the idea of going against the death knell's demands. His original intention was to start with this step, to gradually establish values different from Hydra for the team members, and to subtly support the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. within Hydra. This was the most direct and daring influence he had ever had had lurked within Hydra. Anyway, no matter what it will be in the long run, he can be regarded as deceiving the players this time, and he should be ashamed.

As for the happiness, the reason is very simple, except for Mei, who still didn't wake up in the Bus, all the members of the team are now in the SUV, which is already very revealing. Coulson couldn't help but feel that he had made several brilliant decisions when considering the members of this special ops team!

Putting aside these complex and obscure political issues, let's take a look at what the team members do after they decide not to listen to Knell's request. First of all, they once again strengthened the security system of Arkham Asylum, as long as someone from outside did not attack recklessly, then there was no need to worry about those villains inside running out and running around the streets and causing trouble for Gotham or something. To make sure that such a scenario does not happen, Rhaegar also advises Coulson to reconnect with James Gordon, who is disgusted by the death knell's demands, and ask the latter to relocate some of the vacated police forces around the asylum, in case the mutants may launch a new wave of attacks in that direction - even if the mutants do attack Arkham Asylum again, the Gotham police can hold them back.

After getting Arkham out of the way, Rega and their focus was on Thomas Wayne and the charity party. However, in the case where Death Knell is the person in charge, they cannot call back the police officers and professional bodyguards who are ordered to be transferred or dismissed by Death Knell, but they can only use their own experience, insight and technology to go out themselves. How to 'get out of the horse' in this is worth studying.

In the end, a few people summed up and made a plan. Skye acts as the first line of defense, keeping an eye on all movements through traffic cameras and store cameras that hack into several nearby blocks, hoping to spot saber-toothed tigers and Wolverines or other possible attackers as soon as they appear, and keep them informed of their movements when they do appear, so that the team can respond immediately. In addition to assisting Skye in the aforementioned examples, Fitz and Simmons also act as technical support for the team as always. Fitz and Simmons' expertise comes in handy when something unexpected happens to Rhaegar and their side, such as someone being poisoned or injured and needs first aid, or if there is a special weapon on the scene that threatens everyone, etc. The three of them were assigned to one of the VIP rooms at the Gotham Hotel to take care of all of this. To this end, Thomas Wayne also made a point of having the equipment they needed urgently brought in, such as several of the latest computer screens.

Of course, Skye wants to communicate the monitored situation as soon as possible, and it is indispensable to have more professional communication equipment than professional level. This doesn't need to be provided by Wayne Enterprises, because the Special Ops team has already been there. And the in-ear communication device, specially designed by Fitz and Simmons, is more advanced than the standard format in Hydra, using embedded sensory nerve silicone and DNA matching technology...... It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, I don't understand it, but if you just know it's tall enough.

With such equipment, remote communication is no longer a problem – not too remote, in fact, it is in the same building, just more than 20 stories apart. Wearing black suits and stun guns, Rhaeggar, Ward, and Coulson disguise themselves as professional bodyguards to protect Thomas Wayne at the party scene. It is worth mentioning that in view of the fact that Rhaegar talked about the process of his battle with Wolverine in Bus, including the details that the stun gun has a better delay effect on Wolverine, which has super self-healing abilities, than ordinary gun bullets, this time they brought out Fitz's special effect magazine. This special effect magazine was made by Fitz in his spare time, and the imaginary enemy is a large beast with much stronger resistance than ordinary people, and the effect of the design is about three times that of the original stun bullet, which is used to deal with Wolverine and Sabertooth Tiger. However, as mentioned earlier, this is a whim of Fitz in his spare time, so such special effect magazines are only samples, and the stability of the effect has yet to be verified, but the number is so small. Just gave Rhaegar and they were given one each. In addition, due to the enhanced effect at the expense of the specification advantage, the ammunition load of the magazine was reduced by one-fourth from the original eight rounds. As a result, Rhaeggar, Ward, and Coulson each only have six special stun rounds, and there is no guarantee that each of them will have a stable triple stun effect.

It's a pity that this is already the best choice for Rhaegar and them.

Soon Rhaegar and the others meet Thomas Wayne, who is worried, and changes into the same black suit and large sunglasses as the other professional bodyguards.

"Wait, sunglasses on a big night?"

"That's what professionalism is. The function of sunglasses is not only to protect the eyes from the sun, but also to hide the appearance to a certain extent. In addition, it allows the bodyguard to keep an eye on the object of protection when encountering bright light such as flashbangs. ”

The problem of sunglasses will be lifted for the time being. In order to better fit in with the bodyguard team and not be obtrusive, Rhaegar also removed the bandage on his right hand after Skye and Simmons protested.

Then, the charity party was about to begin.

Luxury cars appeared at the door of the Gotham Hotel, forming a long queue that could barely be seen. A well-dressed pair of distinguished VIPs got out of the car, and the parking guys outside the door and the etiquette receptions at the front desk were busy.

It's been a while since he came to this new world, and during this time, Rhaegar has also made up a lot of inquiries, and has learned many important people in relevant circles such as politics, economics, and academia, including even important characters in the comic book setting of his previous life, such as Lex Luthor, the chairman of the world's top 100 company Lex Group, and for example, there is still a Norman Osborne in New York who controls the Austro Group. Neither of them was present at the upcoming party, however—Lex Luthor was unable to come, and Norman Osborne was not invited.

Returning to the celebrities who are now entering the party, Rhaegar recognizes most of them, and it's clear that Thomas Wayne has a wide enough contact. And these people are obviously rational enough, or have their own pride, so the scene of Rhaegar's imaginary fight for wealth and showing off his wealth does not appear - he is also really funny. And what I want to say here is that since there are no signs of an attack yet, he is actually quite relaxed. He was even in the mood to watch the celebrities greet each other in a serious manner, pretending to enjoy the party or something.

It wasn't until about forty minutes later that a man and a woman appeared in front of him.
