Chapter 17: The Voyage of the Iceberg

"Charles, you've scared him, Laura's actions are not something we can interfere with, and he is not the mastermind of this conspiracy, he is just a guy who believes whatever his companions say, stupid fellow. ”

Rena also stood up at this time, and slowly told Charles Lincoln that he was not the main messenger of this conspiracy.

"Oh, it's not him, then it's you? Rena, if the mastermind this time is you and I will also believe, breaking with S.H.I.E.L.D. so quickly, this time the mastermind is very confident in my strength, they seem to be quite worried that I will come back too soon, and they don't even want to wait. ”

Rena's words did not dissipate Charles's anger, but transferred the anger to Rena, the decision to take in the Inhumans was handled by Rena, and now that something has happened, Rena's responsibility naturally can't escape.

"They only see the tip of the iceberg, and I know all of your strength, if it were me, I would never let Laura have any accidents, and the disaster that could lead to it is not something I can bear. ”

Instead of panicking at Charles's anger and explaining that she wouldn't do it, Rena told Charles that she had no reason to let Laura bear the accident, and that the god-like Charles was not something she wanted to face.

"Very well, I'm glad you judged, so can you tell me who the hell interrupted my vacation and had to come back so soon to deal with all this mess?"

Charles calmed down a little, and did not refute or agree with Rena's statement that he might be because of Laura's crazy things, because he didn't know what he would do, and the possibility of Laura's accident had not been considered by Charles, and asked Rena the truth of the facts.

"Ian, Ian Price, an Inhuman who can be invisible, he has been encouraging the Inhumans to unite and follow you to do something big, and this operation is also led by him, but he is too anxious for this operation, and even despite my dissuasion, he has to tell Laura about your disappearance, the purpose is very not pure, I have already found someone to keep an eye on him, but I don't know when you will come back and didn't make a move, do you need to arrest him and ask what you did?" Rena was very obedient.

After Charles disappeared, S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't tell Rena, but Rena felt that she could wait, and after discussing it with Jessica, she decided to hide Laura for the time being, and then explain the situation to Laura after Charles completed the work, but this situation was broken by Ian, and Laura insisted on entering the portal together after hearing the news of Charles's disappearance, and was not even willing to wait.

"Who told Ian about my disappearance? Is that you?, Lincoln?" said Charles, who thought for a moment and asked about the origin of the revelation of his disappearance.

"No, I just told Rena, and Rena told me, she already knew the news, and then wait a little bit, S.H.I.E.L.D. will take care of it, I don't know where Ian got the news. ”

Lincoln also relieved his spirit at this time, and said in an unresolute tone in the face of Charles's question.

"And what about the three of you, are you doing anything?" said Charles, seeing Lincoln's unconfident expression, and stopped paying attention to him, and asked the other three.

"No, Lincoln told us to wait, we waited, and nothing else was done. ”

The other three looked at each other, nodded and said together.

Looking at their disbelieving glances, Charles rubbed his forehead, and finally didn't say anything more, just signaling that they could leave.

After the four Lincolns left, Charles did not ask Rena to bring Ian directly for interrogation, but thought about it and asked Rena about it.

"Rena, would you be surprised if I said I wanted to get these Inhumans out of here?"

Rena felt a little sad in her heart after hearing Charles's words, the results of her hard work for so long were casually destroyed by a few ill-intentioned guys, of course she knew what those guys were going to do, nothing more than to change their status, from "Laura's toy" to "Charles's subordinate", but unfortunately they failed, Charles didn't need any subordinates, their identity could only be "Laura's toy" from the beginning.

God, in ancient times, as long as it was strong enough to protect human beings, it could be called a god, such as the guys in Asgard, each of them called themselves gods, but unfortunately in the current society they can no longer be called gods, they can only be called "superheroes", why, because now human beings no longer need "protection", they need more things, which only the powerful Thor, the god of thunder, can not give, he is just a superhero.

So what does the god that human beings worship look like now? Is it God who fulfills all the dreams of human beings? No, no, that's called money, what is God? God is pure, selfless, and can do anything for human beings, because if God is no longer pure, no longer selfless, and no longer serves mankind, he will lose his faith in human beings, and finally lose his godhead and fall into the mortal world.

God needs human beings to believe in Him before they can be called God, and this is what human beings now desire to be like God.

Like Ian, these Inhumans, after getting through the panic of just turning into an Inhuman, began to ask Charles to be what they wanted, they wanted Charles to become a strong Inhuman leader, and because Charles could do it, they wanted Charles to do it.

It's a pity that Charles is not an existence that they can interfere with, although he himself is very drifting, but this drifting changes with the flow of the world, not one or two people can make him change, he is a bottomless iceberg, and the Inhumans are just the Titanic sailing in the sea, the iceberg may allow you to rest and let you carnival on him, but if you want the iceberg to change the course for you, there is no second option except sinking.

For the first time, Rena was glad that Charles was not really an iceberg, because he could communicate, he cared about some people and things, so after hearing Charles's question, Rena stood very quietly in front of Charles and gave her own advice.

"It's true that Ian's gang was a little impulsive and tried to do something, but the other Inhumans didn't think of that, they just cared about your safety, so I want you to give them a chance, a chance to go back to what they used to be. Rena said in her characteristic calm tone.

"They did these things, as long as I don't drive out the Inhumans, the Inhumans can use this operation to show the world that they are loyal to me, and I should protect these loyal subordinates, otherwise I will become an outlier, and now, you want me to give these people some chances? Rena, I began to think about whether you were involved in these things. ”

After saying this, Charles looked at Rena squarely, waiting for Rena's answer.

"You misunderstood, I didn't intend to make this operation right, they also need to pay for their mistakes, I just hope that the other Inhumans can continue to live here, it is still too dangerous for them to be out there. Rei continued to explain her intentions.

"Oh, it's kind of funny, you can get these guys to admit their mistakes, but you don't make them complain about me, and even make me believe that they won't complain about me, your thoughts make me curious, go on. Charles asked curiously.

In Charles's view, this operation of the Inhumans was an act of moral kidnapping, and in the whole process, they also showed that they did not agree with Laura's identity as the heir, so the moment Charles came back, he planned to drive them away and let them continue to fend for themselves, and now he didn't drive them away directly because he wanted to drive them away gently, rather than directly tearing up the relationship between the two sides, but Rena's suggestion did make Charles curious, and he planned to hear it.

"Quite simply, if the purpose of this operation is not simple, but there are other organizations contributing to it, then the Inhumans will naturally consider whether their actions are right, whether what they are doing is their own idea or someone has deceived them, and in the end they will still choose to forget about this incident and continue to live a quiet life, rather than thinking that they can get more because of this incident. Rena explained her plan, causing Charles' eyes to widen.

"Are you talking about Hydra?" Charles, who came to his senses, looked at Rena and asked with a smile, making Hydra carry the black cauldron, Charles thought it was quite interesting.
