Chapter 546
As soon as May stepped into Seattle, she keenly sensed a tense yet fervent atmosphere in the air.
Walking down the street, I saw that every household had hung up banners, with eye-catching characters fluttering in the wind:
"We want independence!!"
"free!!"
"The lives of the awakened are also lives!!"
These slogans were shouted with all their might, filled with passion and a yearning for freedom.
However, Mei didn't seem to care about any of this.
In her view, the so-called independence is nothing more than empty slogans.
Like Texas, every governor has loudly proclaimed the slogan of independence, but in the end, it was just a show, a way to pander to the public's emotions, without ever actually taking any action.
With her own abilities and rich experience, May successfully met Spencer.
As soon as the two met, Spencer said directly, "I'm very sorry about Coulson."
Mei nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
"We have reached an agreement."
Mei understood this.
Coulson had previously discussed with her the idea of using the power of the Awakened to strengthen S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities, while Spencer could also use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power to make some demands on the US government. It was a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperative relationship, with both sides getting what they needed.
From this perspective, Spencer really had no reason to kill Coulson.
What exactly happened that night?
May's expression was serious, her eyes fixed on Spencer, trying to glean some useful information from his face.
Spencer did not hide anything and recounted what happened that night.
Mei carefully examined all possible clues, scrutinizing every detail repeatedly, leaving no stone unturned.
She questioned all possible witnesses that night, investigated surveillance footage around the scene, and even conducted background checks on everyone Coulson had ever been in contact with.
However, after going around in circles, the result she got was...
[No abnormalities were found]
There were no valuable clues.
May ruled out all known forces and organizations, and in the end, all the blame was directed at Wes.
[As expected, you died at the hands of a wizard.]
Mei was secretly certain, a glint of hatred flashing in her eyes.
However, despite her hatred, reality left her feeling utterly powerless.
Wes's immense strength was like an insurmountable mountain standing before her. May knew perfectly well that with her and her team's current strength, there was no chance of revenge.
She sat in the dimly lit room, clutching Coulson's photo tightly in her hand, staring blankly ahead.
Coulson's voice and smile kept flashing through my mind, along with all the moments we had fought side by side.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall.
"Coulson, how can I avenge you?"
Mei murmured to herself, her voice filled with helplessness and pain.

Wes sat steadily in the study, listening intently to Dumbledore and Malfoy's report.
Since experiencing two exceptionally fierce world wars, although the wizard legion has suffered some damage, its overall strength has greatly improved, making it even more powerful.
Malfoy bowed slightly and respectfully spoke first: "My lord, after the tempering of these two wars, the number of fourth-level wizards in the wizarding army has successfully exceeded 1000. More importantly, Dumbledore has been fortunate enough to break through the previous limitations and successfully advance to the fifth level."
Wes nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
He understood that the higher the ceiling of the world he controlled, the more unreservedly the wizards' talents could be displayed, and they would no longer be subject to so many constraints.
Judging from the current situation, the world is developing step by step in the direction he expected.
The world is very different from what it used to be.
It is no longer the desolate place it once was; now millions of people live here, and several bustling metropolises have been built.
There are also some wizards who prefer quiet, who use their superb magical abilities to build unique dwellings.
In the city, wizards hurried back and forth, casting various spells, and the light of magic flickered incessantly in the streets and alleys.
In those secluded places, mysterious incantations and the booming sounds of magical experiments could be heard from time to time from the wizards' dwellings.
The underworld was also operating normally as planned, and it had even developed its own will.
This will, however, has no emotions. Like an AI, it precisely controls all affairs of the underworld, ensuring absolute fairness.
The emergence of the Underworld's Will was actually within Wes's expectations, but its AI-like operating mode still made him ponder it further.
However, ensuring the fair operation of the underworld is certainly a great thing for the stability of the entire world.
Having endured two brutal and intense world wars, the wizards are all utterly exhausted. The most important thing right now is to give them enough time to rest and recuperate.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to launch the next war, but planned to let the entire wizarding world recover its strength and accumulate power.
On this day, Wes arrived in Future City and entered Vegapunk's research institute.
As soon as you step into the research institute, you are greeted by a strong sense of technology. Various sophisticated and complex instruments flash with colorful lights and emit a continuous humming sound.
Vegapunk was completely absorbed in his project, seemingly lost in his own little world, and didn't even notice Wes walk in.
Wes stood quietly to the side, his eyes fixed on Vegapunk's busy figure.
He was seen carefully adjusting the instruments at the lab bench, meticulously setting up various parameters.
He then lowered his head again and quickly jotted something down in his notebook.
After a long while, seeing that Vegapunk still hadn't noticed him, Wes gently called out, "Doctor."
Vegapunk was startled by the sudden sound, and nearly dropped the tools in his hands.
He looked up abruptly and saw Wes standing in front of him. A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. He quickly straightened his clothes and complained, "You walk so quietly."
Wes's lips curled up slightly: "Look how focused you are, what have you figured out?"
"The information you brought back is so interesting!"
Vegapunk's eyes gleamed with excitement, and his voice was filled with barely suppressed amazement.
He gripped the stack of information about super soldiers and the Extremis virus that Wes had brought back tightly in both hands, his eyes gleaming as he intently scanned the dense text and complex charts.
