I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 128: Britain Rises and Backstabs America
Britain is making intensive preparations for the construction of a magic school, and families with a little wealth around the world immediately buy tickets to the British Isles, intending to get close to the water.

All air tickets have been sold out recently. Airlines have added flights and raised ticket prices overnight, but even the increase is more than 300 percent and tickets are still hard to get.

Hotels and B&Bs in London and surrounding cities are also fully booked, and their owners are making a lot of money.

Before the magic school was established, England had already received the first wave of benefits.

This is the first time in the world that an extraordinary person has publicly expressed his willingness to impart extraordinary powers. Ordinary people who previously lacked channels finally have the opportunity to glimpse extraordinary powers. How can they not be excited?
Just as netizens said, even if you have to sell everything you have or even borrow high-interest loans, as long as you become extraordinary, do you still have to worry about not being able to pay back the money?

Even if he had ten guts to borrow money at high interest rates, he wouldn't dare to come to the loan shark's house to ask for the money back!

What people fear most is having no hope. Once there is hope, humans can burst out with unparalleled willpower.

Seeing such a hot scene, the old guys in Britain finally witnessed with their own eyes the appeal of the extraordinary to ordinary people, and truly realized the opportunities that this magic school will bring to Britain.

At this moment, they are determined to defend this magic school at all costs!
But the Americans are not pushovers. The "Elite Eagles" immediately submitted a proposal to the World Security Council to capture Tom Riddle on the grounds that a SHIELD agent was killed, and to punish the disobedient British brothers at the same time.

The World Security Council in Marvel is a fictional organization with only five member countries, which is responsible for leading and supervising S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the movie "Captain America 2", Steve Rogers destroyed SHIELD, and SHIELD and its board of directors were disbanded. Only Phil Coulson was left to continue maintaining the Lighthouse Base with the support of Nick Fury and the funds provided by the United States.

So in the movie "Captain America 3", when Natasha persuaded Steve to sign the "Sokovia Accords", she said "This is not the original World Security Council, but the United Nations."

It was still the same office and the same conference table. The American representative was too stubborn to pay for replacing the conference table. He just moved his chair to the side to avoid the table top that he had knocked cracks on last time.

"This is a provocation to S.H.I.E.L.D. and to world security. America cannot allow such people who endanger world security to exist!"

"Tom Riddle must be arrested, or the dignity of the World Security Council will be shattered."

Tom has only made his name public at 10 Downing Street so far, but America has learned about it, as have the other three countries that are qualified to sit at this table.

This is the foundation of the five biggest players on the planet. If they can’t even do this little thing, they don’t deserve to sit at this table.

Facing the clamoring Americans, the Asian faces sat quietly, the Big Hairy representative had a sneer on his face, the Gallic rooster had a gleam in his eyes, but John Bull looked the only one with a very bad expression.

The mere SHIELD had the audacity to send armed men into Whitehall and block the door of 10 Downing Street. They simply did not take the Empire seriously!

The American representative had finished speaking, but the audience fell silent.

The two younger brothers who always agreed in the past, one had ulterior motives, and the other had an angry look on his face.

Looking around, the American representative had no choice but to take the lead: "Everyone, what are your opinions? If you don't want to say anything, then let's just vote!"

Only one lone hand was raised, and even the two younger brothers who always followed behind were indifferent this time.

The arrogant Americans seemed to have forgotten that the two younger brothers were not thoughtless background boards. Or in fact, they knew it, but just thought that they could suppress it with the strength of the barbarians, just like many times in the past.

Unfortunately, the "Elite Eagles" forgot that even when they took out the laundry detergent, at least it did not harm the interests of their younger brothers. Now they intend to snatch the meat directly from their younger brothers' mouths.

"I have a proposal, too."

John Bull ignored the American's cannibalistic eyes and spoke calmly, "In recent years, the Board of Directors has not properly supervised S.H.I.E.L.D., and a large amount of funds are spent every year. Apart from a superficial financial report, we don't know where the funds went, what they were used for, and what results were achieved... We don't know anything at all."

"We are discussing Tom Riddle's murder of a SHIELD agent!" The American representative knew that he would be unhappy about today's topic before he came, but he never expected that the British brother would dare to rebel. "Tsk, tsk, since when has this conference room only allowed one voice to exist?" The Russian representative sneered: "Freedom of speech is the principle of this conference room."

"I remember that even the construction funds for this conference room are still in arrears with a certain country."

John Bull was determined this time. Not only did he not intend to hand over Tom Riddle, he also wanted to counterattack the Americans.

"I propose that a joint investigation team be formed to enter S.H.I.E.L.D. to conduct a comprehensive review and audit of S.H.I.E.L.D., including but not limited to its finances, personnel, sites, armaments, technological achievements, and special item inventories."

"Okay, this is a good proposal." Representative Da Mao immediately responded: "I fully agree with it. We should have done this a long time ago!"

"I agree."

The Asian representative slowly raised his hand and said indifferently: "Since SHIELD is an international organization under the Council, it should be subject to international review and supervision."

"Three votes in favor, it's settled!" Representative Damao was fearless.

The Gallic Rooster thought about it, did not raise his hand, but did not object either. He expressed his abstention by keeping silent. Anyway, the overall situation had been decided, so it didn't matter whether he expressed his opinion or not.

"I...I..." The American representative was so angry that his liver hurt.

Originally, they planned to use the excuse of "S.H.I.E.L.D. agent being killed" to arrest Tom Riddle today. After all, this person appeared in Britain, and America had no other excuse to interfere.

But he didn't expect that not only did he fail, but he was also stabbed by his younger brother.

Given Nick Fury's "black gloves" style, can he withstand investigation?

"What?" Representative Da Mao said, adding fuel to the fire: "You want to object? It's useless even if you object!"

According to the rules of procedure, the "veto power" can only be exercised on matters outside the Security Council, which is a symbol of the identity and status of the five major players.

However, matters concerning the internal management of the Security Council are decided by majority vote. Otherwise, even the annual funding plan will not be passed if just one country disagrees, and the organization will not be able to survive.

The purpose of establishing this platform is for communication and negotiation, but if even this platform cannot be maintained, where can we communicate and negotiate?
The comprehensive review and audit of SHIELD is precisely an internal management issue of the World Security Council. Just now, the American representative proposed to arrest the murderer on the pretext that a "SHIELD agent" was killed, which is also an internal management issue.

Because SHIELD is nominally affiliated with the World Security Council.

In the past, Big Mao and Nanny had proposed many times to review and audit SHIELD, but the Americans have always controlled the three votes, and the proposal could never pass.

Now that Britain is rising and stabbing America in the back, Russia and its nanny will naturally take advantage of the opportunity.

"asshole!"

The American representative stood up angrily and slammed his fist on the conference table.

The gap that was left before spread out, and a clear clicking sound was heard on the table.

"Poor table, I'm afraid it won't hold up any longer this time." The Russian representative stared at the American representative and said, "If you don't pay for the table this time, we will have to stand for the meeting next time."

"That's good. It saves you from having to stand up next time."
