Chapter 27: Countermeasures

After Tony left, Charles resumed his daily life, and the lace newspapers in New York also fell into a carnival atmosphere because of Charles's sweeping behavior from time to time, of course, many people began to march on the streets, because many of Charles's actions have broken in, although it is to arrest criminals, it still makes some people feel "acrobats" It's too wide, even the behavior of domestic violence, and even because of this invasion of ordinary people's residences, this makes them feel that their privacy has been violated, and when they think that they and their lovers are playing shameful PLAY, there is a person who can know at any time and even judge that they are not committing a crime, this feeling of being snooped on is really uncomfortable.

They demanded that the government sanction "acrobats" for such acts, and that in addition to defining them as criminals, they also demanded that the government immediately arrest "acrobats".

Of course, there are those who oppose it, and there are naturally those who agree, in fact, there are many people who agree with Charles's actions, because Charles only "caught" the criminal, and did not do any harmful actions to the criminal's body, and Charles's actions really saved many people, although it was an illegal invasion when he entered the room, but the house that Charles invaded was all a place where the criminals committed crimes, so there were still many people who supported Charles's behavior.

The government was very happy about this situation, and then very happily defined the "acrobat" as a criminal, and even offered a bounty, anyone who caught the "acrobat" could go to the government to receive a large bounty, but in the eyes of those who were interested, this bounty was fooling the people, because the government really wanted to deal with the "acrobat", and it should also be the identity information of the "acrobat", and then the government people would arrest it, rather than give a bounty after the arrest.

Charles was very satisfied with the government's behavior, and it seemed that he didn't need to take everyone to confront the government, and then Charles began to contact the military, telling the military that Barton and Sam should be released.

Ross did not delay in his request for Charles, and it was not long before Barton and Sam were taken to Charles's office by military van, and then they left without even meeting with Charles.

After Barton and Sam were thrown down by the military vehicle, they looked at their surroundings and found that the place where they were thrown was Ravenhold Manor, and Charles was also waiting for them, which made them relieved, and they were also very puzzled, why did the military let them out, you know, Rose looked at them like a priceless treasure, how could it be so easy to be released.

"Charles, what did you do, and why we were brought here, do you know why?" Barton asked Charles why they were released.

"Of course I asked for it, it's just a threat, it's not a big deal, by the way, have you been experimented on by them?" Charles asked with a smile as he looked at the intact two.

"It's irrational to threaten the military, but why did they only release the two of us, and why didn't Scott release them together. Barton asked again.

"Oh, I used you to eat my Devil Fruit, in order to prevent the other party from cracking my technology, I asked them to release you, Ant-Man and I have no such involvement, so I didn't mention it. Charles told Barton the reason he had told Laura, and motioned for the two to go inside.

The two followed Charles into the office, and before the three of them could sit down, Rena rushed here, looked at Barton and Sam, and then turned on the TV for the three to watch the news, the news reported a very shocking news, the former Avengers members "Thunderbolt" Clinton Francis Patton and "Falcon" Sam Wilson disappeared from prison, and their whereabouts are unknown, if anyone has relevant clues, please report it immediately, and set a bounty amount.

"Is this being put on the table?" Charles gritted his teeth, and then contacted the military again by video, this time talking to Charles to General Ross, who seemed very unhurried, waiting for Charles's question.

"What are you going to do, release people and put a bounty, are you going to send yourself to prison?" asked Charles as he squinted his eyes as he looked at Rose.

"Release, we didn't release them, they just rescued the two of them, oh, are they with you now? So, acrobat, are you reporting the whereabouts of these two people now?" Rose looked at the two people behind Charles and spoke calmly.

"Are you provoking me?" Charles asked, twisting his head, expressing angry emotion, looking at Rose.

"How is it possible, you are a famous superhero acrobat, how dare we, but we never promised to pardon these two people, and now that the two have escaped, we naturally want to hunt them down, don't you?" Rose opened his mouth to explain the reason, which made Charles raise his chin angrily, he was very dissatisfied with the current situation.

"What do you want?" After thinking about it for a while, Charles lowered his momentum and asked about the other party's request, they released Barton and Sam, but they were charged with fugitives, naturally they wanted to get something from Charles.

"The White House is very dissatisfied with your activity now, so it refuses to issue an amnesty, but it's not that we're hindering you, so it's not what we want, it's the White House's request, am I clear enough?" Ross said that the leader of this matter, the military doesn't care how many superheroes there are, as long as these superheroes don't endanger the country, it's a pity that the military is still under the jurisdiction of the government, and under the command of the government, they have to do it.

"To be specific, or do they just want acrobats to stop showing up on the streets of New York?" said Rose, although he said the reason, but did not say the result, Charles could only ask.

"Of course, they are asking you to sign your name on the Sokovia Agreement and officially join the Avengers. Ross also answered the question very simply, and their request was to bring Charles under the government's purview.

"No way, Charles Ravenhold's name is not an independent individual, this is a gathering place for the Inhumans, if I sign it, then this place will also be exposed, do you really want everyone to know that the Acrobat is the one who protects the Inhumans, or is it letting everyone know that in the metropolis of New York, there is a country within a state?" Charles said as he looked at Rose and said in a threatening tone.

"Anyway, everything you should know knows, the rest are just ordinary people who don't care much about the lives of Inhumans, let them see that the country is very tolerant of vulnerable groups like Inhumans, and it is not unacceptable for the government, and the government also promises that as long as you are willing to sign the "Sokovia Agreement", the Inhumans will legally obtain a formal superpower identity, and will no longer be directly defined as criminals because of the reason for the rampaging of the ability. ”

Ross denied Charles's threat, this threat they had already calculated, as long as the government no longer targeted the Inhumans, Charles's threats would no longer have any effect, after all, where the Inhumans were willing to live was their own choice, for the government, as long as the Inhumans were still subject to American law, and even from the perspective of the Inhumans, the state completely recognized the existence of the Inhumans and gave them a legal identity, which was also the result they desired, and as long as Charles declared his identity, the government could even choose to actively improve the relationship with the Inhumans, so that the Inhumans could completely become American nationalsand not, as Charles put it, "a country within a state."

"What if I still refuse?" asked Charles again when he heard Rose's words.

"Then we will continue to hunt down Barton and Sam, and if the Inhumans vandalize or hurt people outside the Ravenhold Manor, they will also be arrested directly, after all, the law is never something that can be changed by one person, can it?" Rose explained the consequences of Charles's refusal, there are no consequences, and the current situation is the consequences.

"I need to think about it for a while. Charles looked at the three behind him, calmly closed his eyes, and told Rose that he needed time to think about it.

"We'll wait for your reply, but hopefully it won't be too long, for we can explain that Barton and Sam are not on the run, but that time is running out for release. Rose watched Charles close his eyes, and after saying a word, hung up the call.
