Chapter 712 Punishment
"Sir Mike, what do you mean by this?"

The state legislator was taken aback by the sudden turn of events, but as a representative of the legislator, he still chose to speak up and ask questions.

As for the other members of parliament, a look of apprehension arose in their eyes.

Mike's origins have always been a mystery to everyone, and he immediately became involved in a war against aliens upon his appearance.

It can be considered as helping everyone solve a global disaster.

His outstanding performance in that battle earned him the title of "Guardian".

This solidified his status as a "superhero".

Mike's subsequent behavior was so low-key that he was almost forgotten by senior management.

However, his intrusion this time, coupled with his swift and decisive subjugation of the special forces members, undoubtedly reminded the councilors of his prowess during the alien war.

"I'm also very curious, who gave you the audacity to judge my people without my consent?" With Mike's current level of understanding, he no longer cares about worldly rights.

Similarly, they will not tolerate the other party taking advantage of them.

The Scarlet Witch's ordeal has already stirred up his nerves.

This made Mike reflect on whether he had been too mild in his attitude in the past.

To the point that they couldn't even protect their own people.

"Well, I've reconsidered Ms. Wanda's situation. Her way of handling the bomb was indeed understandable and justifiable..."

Seeing Mike's formidable strength and unwavering stance, the state legislator immediately changed his tune, then turned to the other legislators and asked, "What do you think?"

"Ms. Wanda's intention to protect the people was good, and we should understand it..."

"Yes, no one was killed anyway. Ms. Wanda's handling of the bomb wasn't wrong..."

"She protected public safety, and that deserves praise..."

"..."

Well, it's not just state legislators; other legislators are also very good at assessing the situation.

The Scarlet Witch, who had just almost been convicted, now seemed to have become a hero in the mouths of the councilors.

Seeing the two-faced nature of the councilors, Scarlet Witch's fear of them slowly vanished at that moment.

It's like shedding some kind of shackles.

His expression also became calm.

“I object. She must be held responsible for what happened to me.” Amid the uproar, Congressman Ross, his body wrapped in bandages, expressed his dissenting opinion.

As the only seriously injured person in the nuclear reactor bomb incident and a promoter of the Kosovia Agreement, Senator Ross had previously experienced a bittersweet experience.

His injuries earned him sympathy, while the implementation of the agreement earned him reputation.

It's not hard to imagine that after this incident, his career will become increasingly smooth.

But all of this became imperfect after Mike appeared.

“Take responsibility? How do you want to take responsibility?” Mike wielded his magical whip, precisely grabbing Congressman Ross from the judge's bench and pulling him in front of him.

"I...I..." Congressman Ross had never seen such a magical method before. Bound by the magic, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he no longer cared about pursuing the matter.

"Calm down, Mike. We can sit down and discuss Wanda's handling of the situation..." Although Captain America was dissatisfied with the Kosovia Agreement proposed by the senators, his sense of justice led him to immediately try to persuade Mike.

In his view, Mike's impulsive actions would undoubtedly make the situation, which was already improving, worse.

As for the superheroes around them, they had long been dissatisfied with the senators and were happy to watch the show from the sidelines.

Tony, in particular, had previously chosen to support the Kosovia Agreement proposed by Senator Ross. However, in dealing with the Winter Soldier, the senators undoubtedly disappointed him.

Therefore, he quietly watched the show from the sidelines.

As for the senators on the bench, when Mike intervened again, they realized how powerless they were in the face of a superhuman.

They could only turn to Chief Nick for help.

After all, compared to politicians who are good at politics, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is a powerful figure with a large number of superheroes under his command.

However, when faced with the pleading looks from the congressmen, Director Nick simply shook his head slightly, telling them to calm down.

As a frontline worker like Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he has far more sources of information than members of Congress.

That's why he knew how terrifying Mike was. Even the wizard riot in Apple City was quelled by Mike.

Thinking of this, Director Nick, still not entirely at ease, quietly signaled the special forces members in charge of security in the room to step back.

To avoid them incurring Mike's wrath.

After doing all this, Chief Nick let out a long sigh of relief. But his hand, without him even realizing it, reached for the old-fashioned telephone in his pocket.

At times like this, only this phone that can summon Captain Marvel can give him some sense of security.

"Everything will be alright once Captain Marvel returns..." Nick Fury silently comforted himself.

Captain Marvel, with her ability to traverse the void with her physical body, is Nick Fury's true trump card, even more so than Captain America.

Moreover, he had contacted Captain Marvel by phone a long time ago, hoping that she would return to take charge.

Captain Marvel is still traveling in outer space, and it will probably take some time before she returns.

Therefore, Director Nick will need to be patient for a while longer.

Yes, in Nick Fury's opinion, Captain Marvel's strength should be no less than Mike's.

When the other party returns, even if we can't suppress Mike, we can at least put up a fight against him.

It wouldn't be as powerless as it is now.

As for Mike, his actions this time were meant to be a show of force, so he didn't heed Captain America's advice.

Since it's a demonstration, it's natural to show more strength.

He stepped forward and gently patted Senator Ross on the chest.

Then, we saw that Senator Ross, in his spirit form, was ejected from his body and floated in the air like a fish that had been thrown onto the shore.

"Now let's talk about how you want Wanda to take responsibility?" Mike asked with a smile.

That nonchalant demeanor, in the eyes of others, undoubtedly made him seem like a devil.

"Help...help me...spare me, I was wrong..."

Congressman Ross, as the person directly involved, felt it even more deeply; the fear that came from the depths of his soul finally made him beg for mercy.

"Judging from your previous performance, I thought you were tough as nails." Mike shook his head with disinterest, then released his magic, allowing Senator Ross's soul to return to his body.

In just that short time, Representative Ross, as an ordinary person, had lost a significant amount of his soul energy in the air.

The resulting reduction in lifespan and decreased energy are things that Congressman Ross will have to experience for himself in the days to come.

This can be considered a small punishment from Mike.

"Now I'm taking Wanda with me. Does anyone have any objections?" After doing all this, Mike looked around, not giving Congressman Ross, who was lying on the ground, another glance.

"No comment……"

"Ms. Wanda is innocent and can leave at any time..."

"..."

Those congressmen who had witnessed Mike's mysterious methods firsthand all chimed in, their attitudes becoming even more respectful than before.

They were clearly terrified.

"Heh~"

Mike chuckled, and then, under everyone's gaze, he swaggered out with Scarlet Witch.

As the girl left, she didn't forget to pull her younger brother, who was still watching the show, out with her.

"Sister, did you see that? Brother-in-law was so impressive just now. Those people were almost scared to death by him." Quicksilver was still immersed in the scene after leaving the house.

I have to say, it was really satisfying to see those arrogant lawmakers get their comeuppance.

At the same time, Quicksilver's gaze toward Mike was filled with admiration.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Scarlet Witch smacked the back of the head in embarrassment and anger when she heard her brother calling his brother-in-law.

When she noticed that Mike in front of her didn't object to calling him Quicksilver, the girl couldn't help but smile slightly.
