Sentinel

Chapter 356 Game of Thrones

Under the mighty tide of change, superheroes have become a thing of the past. They may be active in the streets and alleys of the city. Every night, they will turn into masked vigilantes against criminal groups and gangsters.

However, from the moment the registration bill was implemented, they have already stood on the same front as criminals in the eyes of the public-superheroes who have not accepted government registration are on the wanted list just like those villains.

What's more, a new order in this world is being established, and there is no place for superheroes in the brand-new structure.

It proves once again that the power of the individual is always insignificant in the face of the general situation. A simple bill makes heroes useless.

After having a few drinks with Captain America, Sean didn't go back to Umbrella on Long Island, he boarded the business jet to pick him up, and flew towards Washington, D.C. under the bright moonlight.

In less than half an hour, the silver-white plane with a drawing of a bald eagle landed slowly on the roof of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Tricurved Wing Building.

Sean stepped out of the cabin and saw the long-awaited Mystique Raven standing in the night wind. Her golden wavy hair and a blue professional dress looked quite charming.

"This is the first time you have come to your territory, right?" Mystique covered her mouth and smiled.

She is currently helping Sean deal with the remnants of Hydra. Alexander Pierce died, and Mrs. Viper also died in Japan. Baron Sterak in Eastern Europe is nothing to worry about. White Hall, who explores alien civilizations, remains.

Under Sean's instruction, Mystique used her special ability to infiltrate Hydra, integrated part of the remaining forces, and hid again.

"Why don't you wipe out those people? S.H.I.E.L.D. is fully capable of this." Rui Wen was puzzled.

"There is an old saying in the East, to the effect that 'when the cunning rabbit dies, the hounds will be useless, and the bow and arrow will be put away when the birds are finished'. This planet needs an indestructible threat, a threat hidden in the dark The evil villain, so as to maintain the status of S.H.I.E.L.D., and always remind the World Security Council that they need us!"

Sean said casually. He stood on the tarmac on the roof and looked around. Not far away was the Jefferson Memorial located by the lake, the endlessly flowing Potomac River, and the brightly lit buildings stretching out. Come, like the sparse stars dotting the earth.

Ruiwen nodded suddenly. Although General Ross of the Ministry of National Defense is the top leader of S.H.I.E.L.D., many core members know that the actual person in charge is Sean Sipers, the young consultant people.

All aspects of S.H.I.E.L.D. have been infiltrated by Umbrella's influence, from field agents, espionage systems, the reorganized intelligence bureau, and even funding from the scientific research department.Stripping away the layers of illusions that confuse the eyes on the enlightened face, S.H.I.E.L.D. has almost become Sean's private kingdom.

"What are you going to do after General Ross retires?" Ruiwen followed Xiao En step by step, like a competent secretary. "Based on the general's age, I'm afraid he won't sit in that position for long."

"I have no interest in being director."

Sean understood what Mystique meant. He shook his head slightly and said softly, "Zemo can be put on top. He is a suitable loyal dog. He doesn't have too much ambition. He has enough abilities and wrists. He doesn't care about playing politics. Game, or the acting style of an agent, he has done a great job."

"You still really value him." Rui Wen curled her lips and couldn't help but said, "Then what should I do?"

During the time spent by Sean's side, Mystique has tasted the benefits of power, especially playing Hydra, which made her understand that the pleasure brought by power and status is far beyond what personal strength can match of.

"I think I still need an assistant. After all, I can't stay in Washington for a long time and waste a lot of time on tedious and complicated administrative affairs."

Sean said as he walked, he met the senior management of S.H.I.E.L.D. along the way, and they all greeted them friendly, often with respect or kindness in their tone.

A huge independent agency always needs someone to play the good guy and the bad guy. General Ross and Commander Zemo are the former. As for the newly appointed Supreme Advisor, he obviously belongs to the latter.

"Where did you talk? Oh, I'm looking for a young, beautiful, smart and capable secretary."

Sean looked at Mystique, and the meaning was self-evident.

"After Hydra is dealt with, you will come over to serve as my secretary and handle the internal affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D. By the way, I chose a girl from Sokovia, her name is Maximov Wanda, and she can hand in Here you go for training."

Ruiwen nodded and remembered that she was very satisfied with her current life. She no longer had to think about dealing with the human government and live a dark life hiding everywhere like she was with Magneto. boring time.

Mystique likes adventure and excitement, and now she is more eager for power and status. Playing the role of a decisive superior is simply like drinking fine wine, and it is difficult to extricate herself.

"Of course, this is not your final arrangement. President Underwood will step down after two consecutive terms. I can't let other people enter the White House."

Sean's next words made Rui Wen unable to restrain her excitement, and that delicate face flushed involuntarily.

"How about a new identity as payment for your hard work?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of Sean's mouth. He had always advocated fair trade, and simply using violence to drive others would sometimes get twice the result with half the effort and would only have the opposite effect.Giving benefits as a driving force can make people obedient and obedient.

For example, Dr. Connors, Vanke and his son are all very obvious examples.

Of course, if you occasionally meet a few diehards who are ignorant of current affairs, it is understandable to use your fists to speak.

After all, I am not some kind of devil, and I pay attention to convincing people with reason.Sean thought so.

"A civilian girl from Kentucky, graduated from Yale Law School, became a young lawyer running for justice, and served as a free legal consultant for a non-profit organization, causing some public attention, such as child abuse, discrimination against mutants …After that, I joined one of the oldest law firms in the United States, Ross Law Firm, and used this as a springboard to enter the American Legal Services Company…”

"The next step is probably publishing books, speaking out bravely for the rights and interests of the public, and shaping the image of a resolute and unyielding woman. The whole process will take at least three to five years, running for the senator, entering Capitol Hill, and being active in partisan struggles until Underwood The president retires to run for election."

Sean walked to the door of the conference room, looked at Mystique who was in a daze, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

He put his hand on Raven's shoulder, leaned into her ear, and said softly, "I can get Underwood into the White House, support a president, and naturally there will be a second one."

"Don't rush to give me an answer, think about it carefully, after all, this is a long-term role-playing."

Ruiwen nodded blankly, she had lost her ability to think, and she was full of thoughts about sitting in that chair in the White House and becoming the first female president of this country.

This is more interesting than the mutant's revival plan.

Seeing Mystique's appearance, Sean smiled silently, turned around and opened the door. Humans have always enjoyed the game of power.
