Chapter 137 Target, Secretary of State!

"This registration bill is a conspiracy, a conspiracy to eliminate superheroes and make it easier for the mastermind behind the scenes to rule the world!!!"

Listening to the "truth" told by Medusa, the crowd at the scene suddenly became excited.

This time, there was no need for Lin En to even arrange for people in the parade to incite the people. The anger of the masses who felt they were deceived directly reached its peak!

Inside the Illuminati base.

They watched in amazement as the people outside, who had originally been protesting against them, now turned their anger towards the US government.

Peter Parker opened his mouth, then said to Scott beside him: "So... we don't have to sign that document?"

"I guess it's not necessary..."

Scott, who also had a dull expression, nodded mechanically.

"Where is this?"

Seeing the two people's surprised expressions, Gwen smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. You know, Lin En never gives up halfway!"

"Snapped"

A bottle of red wine hit the wall and shattered into pieces. At this time, Kang looked at Lin En and others on TV with a gloomy face.

After a while, the gloom on Kang's face slowly disappeared, and then he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, Kang said, "You win this bet, Lynn Hall. No wonder my stupid mutant became the conqueror. I have to admit, for a moment just now, I almost thought of using force!"

Inside the Illuminati base.

When Lin En heard the call from the mastermind and called the mutant Kang the Conqueror, he knew his identity in an instant.

Damn, I didn't expect the mastermind behind this to be a variant of Kang.

Lin En made a hushed gesture to stop everyone from cheering and placed his phone in front of the computer.

While quickly tracking the source of the call, he and Kang Xu thought of a snake: "Conqueror Kang?"

"No, you should call me the wise man!"

Hearing Lin En addressing him, Wise Kang laughed and said, "Originally, I wouldn't lose this bet, but I didn't expect to meet such a clever opponent like you. Just a moment of carelessness gave you the chance to turn the tables!"

Watching the computer narrowing the signal's tracking range, Lynn continued, "I don't know about conquerors or wise men, but I know you almost succeeded if Conley Dwyer hadn't shown up on Attilan."

"Then even if I discover your conspiracy and want to save the situation, it will cost a great price."

Seeing that the signal had locked onto Washington, Lin En continued, "Although I've never met you, I suspect you must have a follow-up plan. Otherwise, I'd be unworthy of your title as a wise man!"

"Haha, you guessed it again!"

Sitting on the chair, Kang picked up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth: "This is just the beginning, Linn. You are smarter than the people in other multiverses. This really piqued my interest. So, I am looking forward to our continued fight."

"By the way, as the loser of the bet, I can give you a 'reward'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wise man Kang took out a palm-sized instrument and pressed it. The next second, the space-time around Kang began to break, reorganize, and break again, eventually forming a brand new space-time shield.

"What reward?"

Seeing that the signal tracking had locked onto a specific street in Washington, Lynn made a phone gesture to Steve and then drew a circle in the air.

Steve immediately understood what Lynn meant and took out his cell phone to call Stephen Strange.

"I have hidden your universe from the sight of the Council of Kang. From now on, neither the Conqueror, the Pharaoh, the Miraculous, nor the Scarlet Centurion will appear in your universe!"

"Lynn Hall, I'm looking forward to our next match!"

As soon as the phone was hung up, Stephen Strange opened the magic portal and walked in.

"Strange, we have already identified the mastermind behind this conspiracy. Take us to Washington immediately!"

Pointing to the specific location in the computer, Lynn Hall spoke.

"no problem!"

After taking a look at the address, Stephen Strange immediately opened the magic portal.

At the same time, on a special plane from Washington to New York.

"Mr. Secretary, you have to see this!"

Seeing his staff hurriedly walking towards him with a tablet, the Secretary of State, who was originally resting with his eyes closed and thinking about how to force the Illuminati and the Avengers to agree to sign the bill, frowned.

He picked up the tablet with an unhappy look and took a look at it. After seeing the content clearly, the Secretary of State's face suddenly changed.

Picking up the phone on the table and looking at the dozens of missed calls displayed on the muted phone, the Secretary of State immediately said to his staff, "Tell the captain to change our destination. We are returning to Washington immediately!"

After the staff went to the driver's cab, the Secretary of State took a deep breath and then pressed the president's button.

Inside a congressman's office in Washington, D.C.

Watching the content in the video, the congressman subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

As the most radical member of the "Superhero Registration Act", he constantly appears in front of the media in an attempt to "gain fame".

Lauren Thompson was extremely panicked at this moment.

Damn, who would have thought that there would be a conspiracy behind the Superhero Registration Act? And a conspiracy to divide superheroes and conquer the world?
FUXX, he just wanted to gain some political capital, so how did he become an accomplice of the mastermind behind the scenes?

Closing the notebook, Lauren looked at his subordinate and said hurriedly, "Is the Secretary of State still unable to get through?"

Seeing his subordinate shaking his head, Lauren paced around the office anxiously.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death, Scott. The video has just been uploaded online, and many people haven't seen it yet. But after today, I'm afraid everyone in the United States, and even the whole world, will know about this!"

"We have to find a way, Scott, you contact the media now and tell them I want..."

Before Lauren could finish, the office door was kicked open and several men in suits walked in.

"who are you?"

Looking at the guy who suddenly broke into his office, Lauren suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Mr. Lauren Thompson, we are from the FBI. We suspect you are connected to terrorists who intend to endanger the country."

As they spoke, two FBI officers took out handcuffs and walked forward to handcuff Lauren and prepare to take her away.

"I am innocent. You can't do this to me. I just stood up to support the registration bill. The mastermind behind it has nothing to do with me."

Before Lauren could finish his words, the leading FBI officer stepped forward and punched him in the stomach.

Looking at Laurian, who had suddenly hunched over like a shrimp, the FBI agent grabbed his hair and said, "Of course we know this, but did you think about this when you were 'dealing' with Mr. Hall?"

"How dare you hit me?"

Looking at Lauren, who was bent over and looking at him in disbelief, the leading FBI agent sneered, "Idiot, I've already beaten you up, and you still haven't figured it out?"

"You don't really think the FBI can't find any evidence of your crimes!"

The FBI agent patted Laurian's horrified face and said, "Spend the rest of your life in prison repenting!"

Just as he was about to lead his men away, he saw Lauren's staff standing nearby. The FBI agent patted his head and said, "I almost forgot about you!"

As he said that, the agent walked forward and took him away.

At the same time, a large number of FBI agents began to take action, and many congressmen who had appeared in front of the media were arrested by the FBI on various charges.

Washington Airport.

When the Secretary of State got off the special plane in a hurry, what was waiting for him was not the car that had been prepared in advance, but James Duke with FBI agents!

The moment he saw Duke, the Secretary of State's expression turned a little ugly, but he quickly adjusted his mood and walked forward and said with a smile: "Director Duke, I didn't expect you to come here in person. Is there something wrong?"

In response to the Secretary of State's inquiry, James Duke said with a smile, "It's nothing serious. We just suspect you are involved in the superpowered criminals that appeared in New York and the New York subway tragedy, so we would like to trouble you to cooperate with our investigation."

"I'm worried my people are being too rude, so I can only come here in person to invite you to our FBI headquarters!"

Hearing Duke's words, the Secretary of State's expression instantly turned ugly: "You should know that these two things that happened in New York have nothing to do with me!"

"Of course I know this, but after all, both cases were committed by the mastermind behind the Superhero Registration Act, which attempted to endanger American security." "And Secretary of State, you are very supportive of this bill, so this is just a necessary investigation!"

The Secretary of State frowned when he heard Duke say this.

The current public opinion is very unfavorable to him. He originally wanted to arrange some things to remove himself after returning to Washington, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by James Duke halfway with this ridiculous excuse!

It seems that this matter can only be left to the staff for now.

Thinking of this, the Secretary of State smiled and said, "That's fine. Anyway, I have a clear conscience. It would be nice to go to your FBI headquarters for a cup of coffee."

As he spoke, the Secretary of State turned to look at his staff and said, "You go back first!"

Before the Secretary of State's staff could leave, Duke had them stopped: "He can't leave. After all, he's your staff, so he has to be investigated too!"

"you"

Seeing his staff being stopped, Duke, the smiling tiger, did not give himself any chance to take any remedial measures.

The Secretary of State's face suddenly turned dark: "Director Duke, you don't even give me an ounce of respect!"

"Haha, don't mind, this is normal procedure!"

After saying that, Duke waved his hand and had the Secretary of State and his staff taken to the car!
Watching the two men being taken into the car, the assistant said, "Director, we don't have any evidence against the Secretary of State. Even if we take him back to FBI headquarters, it won't be of any use!"

Listening to his assistant's confusion, Duke sneered, "Useless? Public opinion has already begun to ferment, and he is the bill's strongest supporter. We will control him now and not give him any chance to 'remedy the situation'."

"In three days at most, the backlash from public opinion will overwhelm him. By then, even if he's released without any evidence, he won't be able to continue his role as Secretary of State!"

"So simple?"

The assistant asked in surprise after hearing Duke's words.

"Of course not? But for Lin En, three days is more than enough!"

After saying that, Duke walked towards the car.

In a luxurious villa in Washington.

"It seems that we are still a step late!"

Looking at the empty villa and the broken red wine bottles in the living room, Tony Stark said to Lynn, "That Wise Kang must have escaped!"

After looking around, Lin En finally set his sights on a palm-sized instrument that was obviously damaged.

After walking forward, picking up the instrument and carefully examining it, Lin En frowned and said, "Time machine!"

"A time machine?"

Taking the instrument from Lin En, Tony looked at it for a moment and said, "So, that damn wise man Kang used the time machine to escape and travel to the past or the future?"

"This should be!"

Nodding, Lin En looked at Tony and said, "Is there any way to repair this time device and track down the time point where Wise Kang went?"

"It's a bit difficult, I'll try my best!"

Tony turned his head and looked at Ultron: "Iron Lump, I need your help!"

"No problem, Thin Tin Man, I'm interested in this scene too!"

Those who failed to capture Wise Kang returned to New York, but Lin En stayed in Washington.

FBI headquarters.

"I really don't want to join the mastermind behind this. I just want to gain some political capital. You have to believe me, everything I say is true!"

Outside the interrogation room, I watched Congresswoman Lauren Thompson sitting in the interrogation chair, crying and shouting that she was innocent.

Lin En took the document and took a look at it, then asked the FBI agent beside him, "How many members of Congress have been arrested today?"

"A total of 32 representatives and 13 senators were arrested in both houses. These people were the ones who jumped the most after the registration bill was introduced."

In response to Lin En's question, the agent replied, "As for the Secretary of State, he has been temporarily brought back. However, Director Lin En, the evidence we have 'manufactured' in our hands can only allow the Secretary of State to stay here for three days at most."

"And we'll also face external pressure in the next three days, so..."

"Three days? That's plenty of time!"

As he spoke, Lynn pushed open the door and walked into the interrogation room with the file.

The moment they saw Lynn enter the interrogation room, the two FBI agents in charge of the interrogation immediately stood up.

And Lauren Thompson was also stunned when she saw Lynn.

Waving his hand to signal the two to leave, Lin En sat on the chair and said, "I've read your information, Councillor Laurian, I didn't expect that over the years you..."

Before Lin En could finish, Lauren Thompson knelt down in front of him and said, "Mr. Hall, I was wrong. I really just wanted to gain some political capital. I had no intention of dealing with you at all."

"Please believe me. As long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to do anything for you. As long as you have an order, I am willing to do everything!"

Looking at Councillor Lauren, who was so glorious a few days ago but now looks like a stray dog.

Lin En casually threw the document in front of him: "Many people have wanted to be my dogs over the years, but do you think you are qualified?"

Looking at the documents, each and every one of them was a list of the crimes he had committed over the years.

Lauren Thompson's face turned pale.

He sat on the ground with a dead heart, just about to accept his fate, but then he caught a glimpse of the half-smile on Lin En's face out of the corner of his eye.

Lauren Thompson instantly understood the meaning of what Lynn had just said.

"Mr. Hall, I know a lot. I know a lot about the dirty deeds of those congressmen who publicly supported the registration bill. I am willing to cooperate and I am willing to help you..."

"not enough!"

Lighting a cigarette and watching the light blue smoke slowly rise, Lin En looked at Laurie En and said, "I heard that you have always been a staunch supporter of the Secretary of State?"

In just three days, public opinion reversed 180 degrees.

The broadcast of the video let the public know that they had wronged the Illuminati and the Avengers superheroes, and even almost became accomplices in triggering the superhero civil war.

For a while, the teams that had been marching and demonstrating across the United States, hoping to get superheroes to sign the registration bill, all stood on the side of the Illuminati and the Avengers.

Many marching groups even spontaneously surrounded the Capitol, demanding severe punishment for those members of Congress in the Capitol who supported the registration bill.

Inside Congress.

At this moment, the members of Congress were also in a panic, not only were they surrounded by people who were marching and demonstrating against them.

Even the FBI directly arrested 45 members of Congress, and even the Secretary of State was arrested.

For a moment, all the members of Congress were extremely nervous, fearing that they would be the next target of the FBI.

After all, how many people who can sit in this position are clean?
Some restless senators went to the Senate Speaker, the Vice President, to discuss the matter, but after the Vice President discussed it with Attorney General Jeff Russell, he ignored it.

When the Speaker of the House of Representatives approached the President and hoped to discuss the matter with him, the President also ignored him.

After all, after the two houses passed the Superhero Registration Act, they approached the president, hoping that he would agree to pass the bill. However, after the president vetoed the bill, two-thirds of the members of the two houses passed the bill again and it officially became law.

Now that this has happened, Riven, disguised as the president, will not get involved!

She doesn't want to offend Lin En!

Seeing that all the people in charge had become cowards, the panic within Congress became even greater.

Especially in the past three days, after the FBI arrested seven congressmen in succession, every congressman was afraid that he or she would be the next one.

Inside the Illuminati base.

Looking at his phone ringing again, Tony Stark smiled at Steve and said, "This is already the ninth congressman who has contacted me. Tsk, they've even promised, overtly or covertly, to provide Stark Industries with some 'policy conveniences'."

"Oh, I really don't know what these idiots are thinking. They want to bribe me with this and then ask me to stand up and intercede for them? Do I look like I'm really short of money?"
