"According to well-informed sources who do not want to be named, the recent supernatural tragedy in Jackson was actually due to the area being hit by an unprecedented large-scale meteorite rain.
Several of them hit a local chemical plant, causing the phantom gas to leak and causing hallucinations among the local people.
It has nothing to do with ghosts, aliens or anything like that.
Moreover, the local government disclosed that this unexpected disaster resulted in the death of at least 12,000 innocent people. Please let us stand and mourn for the victims and their families.
Now that the White House Office and Congress have approved special relief funds, I believe it won’t be long before the victims of the disaster in Jackson can return to their homes and start a new life.
May God bless them.
In addition, many legislators in various states have recently stood up and advocated the restoration of the death penalty, so that those bastards who committed heinous crimes can pay for what they have done, instead of continuing to live out their lives in prison.
Among them, Senator Manns was the most vehement. He even revised some criminal law regulations, and it would be best to have all criminals involved in second-degree murder and above executed.
This proposal has already triggered fierce protests from black and Latino groups, but white groups and Asian groups have expressed strong support.
The two sides have already fought in demonstrations in many cities, causing at least 30 deaths and more than 500 injuries.
In order to avoid the expansion of the conflict, Senator Manns, who advocates the restoration of the death penalty, will hold a televised debate with protest groups who firmly support the abolition of the death penalty.
The time is scheduled for next Friday at 8pm.
At that time, our station will broadcast the entire process live, so stay tuned..."
As the news report on the electronic screen ended and commercial breaks began, Tony Stark turned it off directly and sarcastically said with a disdainful tone: "Meteor rain attack? Hallucinogenic gas? There are really some lies you made up.
That’s bad enough. But I’m curious, how did you keep so many witnesses silent?”
"Nearly 40,000 of our witnesses signed confidentiality agreements and promised to pay each of them an additional $50,000 in hush money."
Nick Fury gave a straightforward answer.
Don’t think that $50,000 in hush money is a small amount.
In fact, for most ordinary people and lower-class people who have trouble even taking out thousands of dollars at a time, this is already an out-and-out "huge sum of money."
In some neighborhoods with extremely high crime rates, you only need to pay a few thousand or even ten thousand dollars to buy a murderer.
What's more, S.H.I.E.L.D. is a powerful organization authorized by the Security Council. If all kinds of threats and intimidation continue, those witnesses will be in trouble if they dare to speak out.
After all, they had seen with their own eyes the horrific scene of the cursed creatures' wanton slaughter.
And due to the failure of electronic equipment, no one successfully captured the image data at that time.
This is also one of the key factors in being able to conceal the past.
"So you want to get rid of me now? Shut me up too?"
Tony raised his chin slightly, showing a provocative expression.
He is not one of those poor people who would sign a so-called confidentiality agreement for a mere tens of thousands of dollars, and he is not afraid of any powerful government departments.
After all, the shareholders of Stark Industries and the Legal Department are not idlers.
As early as Iron Man's identity was exposed, the U.S. government and military have been trying to obtain this epoch-making weapon.
But what’s the result?
Although it did cause quite a stir due to the clamor from some stakeholders, it ultimately failed to create any turmoil.
To put it bluntly, he, Tony Stark, is a member of the country's ruling class and a representative of a powerful capital group. Even the government and the military cannot use some plundering methods and can only play games within the rules.
Otherwise, if it were someone with no money or power, all kinds of dark and ruthless tactics would have been used long ago.
In this regard, Bruce Banner, the Hulk, who has been hiding incognito to evade capture, has the most say.
Looking at the hostile hedgehog-like Iron Man in front of him, Nick Fury suddenly smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm not here to shut you up, but to invite you to join. Here are two authorization documents,
One is issued by the U.S. government and the other is issued by the United Nations Security Council. The planet and humanity need the ingenuity now."
"Invitation? Oh-shet!"
Tony was stunned when he saw the contents of the file.
Because he had confirmed the authenticity of these two documents in an instant, and at the same time understood Balthazar's true identity.
Nick Fury was obviously very satisfied with the other party's reaction at this moment, and deliberately put on an enigmatic look and said: "I believe you have seen with your own eyes how terrifying that kind of supernatural power that cannot be explained by science is.
I also witnessed the astonishing destructive power unleashed by Mr. Balthazar during the battle.
Our world is becoming more and more dangerous and uncontrollable, and various crises that were previously unimaginable may strike one after another.
In this era that is about to go berserk, human civilization must unite if it wants to continue.
Therefore, the Security Council authorizes us to recruit elites in professional fields around the world to ensure that the most urgently needed knowledge and technology can be obtained in a timely manner in subsequent negotiations and transactions.
And you are one of them.
Now, I formally invite you to become a special advisor to the Bureau and a joining member of the Avengers Project."
"So you knew Balthazar's identity from the beginning, and that there was an unimaginably huge force behind him?" Tony narrowed his eyes and probed.
Nick Fury nodded slightly: "Yes, we knew it from the beginning.
The other party has no intention of hiding himself at all, and there is no need to hide it.
Because the gap between them and us is so big, there is no need to be sneaky if they want to destroy us.
Do you think the technology of the steel armor you are wearing is very advanced?
No one can crack it for at least a few to more than ten years?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Don’t be arrogant!
Why do you think the previous series of actions by the military and government suddenly stopped?
Are they scared?
No!
The real reason is that they see something better, something stronger."
As he spoke, the bald director directly opened his mobile phone and displayed all the dozens of large and small powered mechas of the Human Empire that had been photographed before, as well as different models of battle suits of the Tau.
Not only that!
He also showed off the space battleships, macro cannons, light spears, orbital attack arrays and other technologies that far exceeded the earth's technology.
You don't need to ask to know that this black-hearted guy is deliberately trying to undermine Iron Man's confidence and wants to take this opportunity to completely frighten him and use it for his own purposes.
Unfortunately, Nick Fury obviously made the wrong calculation.
After a brief shock, Tony Stark quickly fell into his role as a genius scientist, using the artificial intelligence butler Jarvis to analyze the weapons and equipment in the picture, without even listening to what was said in the second half.
.
It took several minutes before he withdrew from the state of concentration and commented bluntly: "Although it is not yet clear what the performance of the creation in the picture is, it is basically certain that the technological level is at least two to three hundred years ahead of us.
More than 20 years ago. I am very curious about what the earth and mankind have to pay for the other party to come up with such knowledge and technology."
"This is not an issue you need to worry about. All you have to do is evaluate each weapon and equipment in your own professional field and analyze the technology it may contain. If you are willing, sign your name on the document.
"
Nick Fury reached out and pointed at the lower right corner of the two documents placed on the table.
"What happens if I don't sign?"
Tony was obviously already moved, but he pretended to be uncooperative and asked a question.
Nick Fury threatened calmly: "You will be excluded there.
No matter how powerful the technological reserves Stark Industries currently possesses, it won't be long before they begin to fall behind or even be eliminated.
Especially the cold fusion technology you have mastered is nothing compared to those reactors that can drive super giant battleships to travel at faster than light speeds.
As for the powered mecha, any model here will beat you to pieces."
"Are you threatening me?"
Iron Man is obviously the kind of person who takes advantage of the soft and not the hard, and there are immediate signs of wanting to fall out.
But Nick Fury, who is good at guessing and exploiting other people's character weaknesses, immediately changed the subject and started playing the emotional card.
"do you know?
Your father, Howard Stark, was actually one of the founders of the Strategic Science Corps, the predecessor of the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency.
