The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 522 Collusion
“What are the conditions?

"Spencer Quentin understands that there is no free lunch in the world. Behind every seemingly sudden "gift" there is often a corresponding price.

He raised his chin slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed the insight and calmness of a seasoned man, as if he had already anticipated what Phil Coulson would say next.

"First, 3000 awakened people will join the army."

Phil Coulson's voice was low and steady, his eyes fixed on Spencer observing his every reaction.

When Spencer heard this condition, his eyebrows raised slightly.

“Second, the government will send officials to jointly manage Seattle with you.”

Coulson continued, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Spencer's smile faded a little in an instant, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He instinctively felt that this condition posed a potential threat to his leadership.

"third."

Before Phil Coulson could finish, Quentin interrupted him.

"So greedy." His tone was filled with undisguised contempt, and his eyes pierced Coulson directly.

Phil Coulson shrugged, a helpless look on his face, and spread his hands and said, "This is the best offer I can get."

"What about that?"

Spencer pressed.

The matter he was referring to was related to an obsession deep within all awakened people.

Coulson handed over a document, his arm slightly extended forward, his eyes showing a bit of complexity, as if he was paying attention to the contents of the document, but also seemed to be observing Spencer Quentin's reaction after seeing the contents.

"Wes Erwin, he's the one who turned you into Awakened."

Spencer took the document and gently pinched the edge of the document with his fingers. His movements seemed casual, but in fact they were a bit nervous.

He flipped through the pages slowly, his eyes quickly scanning every line of words on the paper.

It records all of Wes's information in detail. The densely packed text is like an invisible line, outlining Wes's past bit by bit.

When Spencer saw the description of the "Mind Gem", his eyes suddenly focused and his pupils contracted slightly.

"Evolving into an Awakened Being through the Mind Stone."

He whispered this sentence, with a hint of surprise and sudden enlightenment in his tone.

"He wasn't your creator," Coulson couldn't help but speak, a hint of worry in his voice.

He was well aware of the importance the awakened group attached to their own origins, and was afraid that they would develop an inappropriate sense of belonging to Wes because of Wes's actions in promoting awakening.

"Creator?" Spencer sneered, his laughter full of disdain and anger.

He raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and anger burned in his eyes.

"He did this just to cause trouble for the United States. We have lost compatriots, family members and friends because of his recklessness."

His voice gradually rose, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with deep hatred.

"He is our enemy!"

He almost roared these words, his voice echoing on the terrace of the city hall, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.

Hearing Spencer say this, Coulson breathed a sigh of relief and his tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

Just now he had been worried that Spencer would develop different feelings for Wes, but now it seemed that this worry was unnecessary.

"No other information?"

Spencer's emotions calmed down a little, and he looked at the documents again, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

He desperately wanted to learn more about Weiss, the man who had dramatically changed the fate of him and his companions. He had to understand his every move. "His whereabouts are very mysterious. This is all we have collected."

Coulson shook his head helplessly, a wry smile on his face.

Weiss was like a mystery. They put in a lot of effort but only got this limited information.

"Ah."

Spencer responded softly, imprinting this information deeply in his mind.

"I heard that you have a lot of good stuff in S.H.I.E.L.D."

The corners of Spencer's mouth rose slightly, with a meaningful smile, his eyes fixed on Coulson.

Obviously, he's making conditions.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen, it still has a deep foundation and has secret bases all over the world.

These secret bases are extremely secretive and have never been recorded in any public documents. They only exist in Nick Fury's unfathomable mind.

Now, this secret is inherited by Coulson.

"What do you want?" Coulson frowned slightly. He had already guessed that Spencer had some plan, but he still asked.

"Weapons," Spencer said without hesitation, looking directly into Coulson's eyes. "The most advanced weapons."

His voice was firm and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Although the awakened ones have special abilities, there are still many ordinary people in the city of Seattle.
. Current ordinary firearms can no longer meet the needs when dealing with various potential crises.

If the awakened ones can be equipped with advanced weapons and receive simple training, they are very likely to become powerful super soldiers.

This will not only greatly enhance the city's defense capabilities, but also provide more response methods when facing unknown threats.

Coulson felt conflicted when he heard this.

Those advanced weapons of S.H.I.E.L.D. were once an important force in maintaining world peace. If they were easily handed over to Spencer now, who knows what kind of changes it would bring.

Quickly weigh the pros and cons in your mind.

"We have a common enemy, don't we?"

Spencer's voice was low but it struck Coulson to the heart.

It instantly broke down Coulson's long-held psychological defenses.

The common enemy Spencer mentioned was undoubtedly Wes.

The fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. is inextricably linked to Weiss.

The claim that SHIELD is an "organization that maintains world peace" is nothing but a pretext to deceive itself and others, and it is only effective in fooling those naive fools.

In fact, SHIELD has always served the United States.

Everyone is well aware of what the United States has done on the international stage.

Under the name of "world police", it interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, but in fact it is doing the activities of a "world bandit".

The principle it adheres to, "Anyone who is not on my side is my enemy," has plunged countless countries into dire straits.

Spencer raised his chin slightly and continued, "Culson, you and I both know that SHIELD may seem prosperous these past few years, but behind the scenes, it's been fighting for America's interests. And Wes, his appearance disrupted the situation the United States originally wanted to control, and SHIELD was also affected. Isn't he our common obstacle?"

Coulson was silent, he lowered his head, and his hands clenched unconsciously.

Every word Spencer said made sense and he couldn't refute it.

Coulson slowly raised his head, the struggle in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of determination: "You are right, we have a common enemy."
