Chapter 140: Hero or Demon
The large forces of the Zetarians have been wiped out. Although there are still nearly a hundred flying machines and hundreds of Zetari Swiss soldiers left, without the Zetari spaceship that makes the Avengers helpless, those small ones are no longer a climate.
Looking at the figure holding the Cosmic Cube standing proudly over Manhattan, Loki's face showed a rare look of frustration. Thor's expression was even more ugly, and he was thinking about how to ask Grant for the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. Things are in Grant's hands, and he can't beat the other party, plus Grant's appearance of killing all sides just now is too profound, and Thor doesn't even have the confidence to negotiate as an Asgardian.
Unless Grant Ken hands over the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, there will be no chance to even grab it. Based on his performance just now, as many people as he went to, he gave away his head...... I can't say that I can only use some unconventional means, such as rebellion, stealing, or something. Now, there was a chance in front of Saul, but it was against his principles. Therefore, he could not make up his mind for a while.
As a result, I didn't expect someone to take the lead.
Just as Grant dragged his tired body and staggered to the roof of the Empire State Building, a full ten missiles suddenly appeared in mid-air. Then, I don't know when the Helicarrier lurking in mid-air appeared there as if it were seeing the sun through the clouds.
Grant has just saved the whole of Manhattan, and even the whole earth, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is going to attack him?
Of the ten missiles, five of them are directed at Grant, and three will fall on his path to the Empire State Building. As for the last two, they were deliberately locked onto the roof of the Empire State Building.
Iron Man, the War Machine, and Dr. Servig, who is still unconscious, are all on the roof of the Empire State Building. But it's clear that none of them are targets of S.H.I.E.L.D. Otherwise, the locations of Thor, Hulk and others should also be patronized by missiles. Well, the answer came out - Natasha and Skye. Or rather, the one in power in the Helicarrier is using Natasha and Skye's safety as a weight to eliminate Grant!
If he was to save it, Grant would face a dense attack of all ten missiles. If you don't save. The number will be less than half. It seems that the other party has calculated that Grant will choose the former. What's worse is that Grant definitely doesn't dare to use the trick he just used to clear the entire sky over there, otherwise Natasha and Skye will be almost 100% affected! Now look at Grant, who has collapsed for the third time in a short period of time, when he can't use the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. How far more can it go?
What a terrible plan!
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sneak attack came so quickly and suddenly that Grant didn't have much time to think about it. Fortunately, he is not far from the Empire State Building.
In the helicarrier's vision, Grant would barely deal with the five missiles that had locked on to him, and then drag the wreckage to deal with the other two. But Grant did not take this safest approach. He first subconsciously rushed towards Natasha Skye and the others. After reacting, he made a sharp stop in the air, then turned to face the five missiles that were chasing after him. He stepped back towards the Empire State Building, slightly reorienting and guiding the five missiles that had locked on to him, bringing them to a certain point. And then......
Boom, boom, boom......
The ten missiles sent out by the Helicarrier were divided into three waves, and when they were less than a second apart, they all hit Grant's location!
Grant's figure was instantly swallowed up by smoke and dust.
The whole process fell into the eyes of many people, including some reporters who have not been afraid of death to stay nearby. In their opinion, the popcorn ending that was originally a happy one. Now it is exaggerated by the counterattack of S.H.I.E.L.D. to render a tragic atmosphere. If it were placed in Hollywood, such a reversal of the script could be won one by one. And S.H.I.E.L.D. may have the best villain.
Of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely receive a lot of criticism afterwards. The media is out of control of this, they are only responsible for fanning the flames and gaining attention. In fact, they're hoping that things will make a big deal and give them a chance to get the mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. out.
The smoke cleared, and the tragic hero who had been holding on began to fall from the sky.
"Skye!"
Natasha shouted, and Skye, dressed in the Black Rose suit, rushed over to catch Grant. Then she flew back and picked up Natasha. Didn't wait for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the rest of the Avengers to react. Black Rose held Grant and Natasha in her arms, and walked through the complex at a high speed, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
No one would have imagined that Grant, who had just saved the entire planet, would say goodbye to the battlefield in such a way. No one even thought of it. The Cosmic Cube will arrive in Thor's hands in this form - the Norse mythological god of thunder flew directly below Grant the moment the missile exploded, and before everyone could react, he picked up the falling Cosmic Rubik's Cube. The man in power inside the Helicarrier helped him, and his goal of coming to Midgard was ninety-nine percent complete.
Then, the criticism against S.H.I.E.L.D. officially began to erupt.
"From this video, we can see that in the face of the missiles launched by the Helicarrier of S.H.I.E.L.D., our Grand Magician is himself in danger of his own life. His companion, who was still mindful of the roof of the Empire State Building, did not use the blue cube that would obviously help him get out of his predicament. Even, he pounced and blocked all the missiles alone. There is no doubt that S.H.I.E.L.D. is definitely a politician. organization of the government. Not to mention why this organization is hiding, it is incomprehensible that it should kill the heroes who have just single-handedly saved the United States and the entire planet. Not to mention, it is in the form of sneak attacks and robbery, which is simply inhumane. We now understand that so much of our annual taxes are being spent against the things we love...... The above is xxx report for you. ”
If it was the original S.H.I.E.L.D., such a report, even if it was too late to erase it, would only appear on the third page of a certain tabloid. It's a pity that the current S.H.I.E.L.D. has just experienced the attack of Hydra, and it is still barely in a stalemate. In addition, the popularity of the new director is really not good, and he does not have much support from people except for his qualifications. It is strange to forcibly use the position to suppress his subordinates, and he can get satisfactory results.
Of all the current high-ranking agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., John Garrett's reputation is not even in the top five. In addition, as soon as he took office, he transferred the highly vocal Phil Coulson, Victoria Hand, Robert Gonzalez and others to the front, which caused many people to resent it. In addition, he removed all of Hill's positions, broke the relationship between Fury and the superheroes that was okay before, and insisted on ordering Grant to be killed with missiles...... In the beginning, many people hoped that his tough style would save the declining S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau. Now it seems that he is not tough, but tyrannical and extreme.
However, Garrett was able to become the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. as an unconventional result. Within S.H.I.E.L.D., he still has some subordinates who can be mobilized well. Moreover, his power is not only on the side of S.H.I.E.L.D. Or frankly, he stopped entrusting his net worth and life to S.H.I.E.L.D. a long time ago.
He had just spoken to Whitehall of Hydra on the phone.
There's one thing that even the former director, you, Nick Fury, can't, but Garrett can. He succeeded in getting S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, two organizations that had been mortal enemies for more than half a century ago, to do the same thing: to discredit a superhero.
"Hero or demon? The 'Great Magician' you don't know. ”
The article, which was sprinkled with thousands of words, was published on the front page of one of the most influential newspapers, XX Times. Except for 5% of the article, which is a brief introduction to Grant's life, the rest is all lies and nonsense. The author of the article held on to the fact that Grant was of mixed yellow race, and used ambiguous statements to portray Grant as a racist with anti-American tendencies. Then, the remarks after the previous war with Ivanko were brought up again.
Soon, the support for Grant turned into two opposing factions. Moreover, under the constant instigation and black-box operation of some people, the opponents gradually gained the upper hand.
Garrett was very pleased with the result.
"It's time to talk to them." (To be continued.) )xh118
