But then they saw that Bai Ye had turned on the TV and was watching SpongeBob SquarePants.
“Mr. Bai Ye, you’re being far too irrational!” Coulson frowned. “Even if they did something wrong, you shouldn’t have killed them outright! You could have subdued them first, then contacted me and let me handle it!”
"I'm irrational?" Facing Coulson's question, Bai Ye pointed to himself and chuckled: "Coulson, come and talk to me like that after you've figured out the whole story!"
"I was peacefully at home, sleeping with my girlfriend, when these idiots, without a word, used a ram to break down our front door, barged in, pointed guns at me, my girlfriend, and my godson, and forced us into the living room," Bai Ye said. "I didn't even intend to argue with them, but these idiots pulled out guns and threatened to kill my girlfriend if she didn't answer their questions. Then, because they seemed to have found something in my godson's room, they decided to take my girlfriend and godson back to their base, and... they even pulled out guns to kill me, the outsider who might have leaked information."
"Coulson, tell me yourself, in this situation, how could I possibly tolerate it? If I don't take them down, I'll be letting my ancestors down!"
Coulson remained silent.
Judging from the current situation, the battle is taking place in a person's home, and there is no doubt that it was that mysterious department that came to stir up trouble.
Whether the other party is as outrageous as Bai Ye described is still unknown...
However, Coulson also knew that there were indeed some lawless and unscrupulous departments within the United States.
However, these people may be very arrogant, but they have encountered someone who is even more arrogant than them.
“Mr. Bai Ye, I don’t know who is right and who is wrong in this matter, but you killed someone. No matter how right you are, you can’t take away a life. So this matter is very complicated right now.” Coulson said, “I suggest that you leave with our S.H.I.E.L.D. as soon as possible and spend some time under our protection and surveillance. During this time, we will try to get a presidential pardon for you. Otherwise, those departments may make you pay for the death of the person.”
Coulson was actually conflicted. These dead soldiers were supposed to be loyal protectors of America, and he himself was an American citizen... But on the other hand, Coulson was also a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he had to protect the interests of S.H.I.E.L.D., so he couldn't let Bai Ye be killed or arrested by the mysterious department...
"No need." Bai Ye waved his hand and said, "If anyone wants to kill me, let them come. Let's see who can beat whom. Coulson, I'm not afraid to tell you plainly that in this world, I'm not afraid of anything except nuclear bombs!"
Well, actually, Bai Ye isn't even afraid of nuclear bombs. Not to mention that the [Dimensional Array: Shangri-La] can instantly transport him to every corner of the world, the speed brought by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit alone allows him to ignore the threat of nuclear bombs.
The essence of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is lightning. The key is not the thunder, but the electricity. The thunder is just the sound of lightning. The electricity is the true substance of lightning, and the speed of electricity is close to the speed of light.
Light and electricity are twins. The speed at which electricity propagates is actually the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate, and light is a type of electromagnetic wave.
In a physical sense, the speed of electromagnetic induction equals the speed of light. In a vacuum, the two speeds are equal, but in a medium, the speed of light is indeed higher than the speed of lightning.
According to observations by Earth scientists, the speed of a lightning strike is 1/10 to 1/2 of the speed of light.
Of course, even if Bai Ye ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he couldn't unleash its full power all at once. The maximum speed he could reach now was less than one-thousandth of the speed of light.
It may sound insignificant, but you should know that the speed of light is 30 kilometers per second, and the speed of sound in the air is 340 meters per second. Therefore, the speed of light is 882353 times the speed of sound. In other words, the maximum speed that Bai Ye can currently achieve is several hundred times the speed of sound.
“Mr. Baiye, stop joking!” Coulson didn’t believe it at all and said, “This is not the time to joke. If you don’t leave, you may die in this battle.”
"Or you could be caught by that mysterious department and locked up in a lab for life to do slide studies."
In Coulson's view, although the lightning power that Bai Ye had used on them was very powerful, how could it possibly stand against the overall trend of the United States?
Bai Ye has already killed the people from the mysterious department. If he confronts them head-on and causes more bloodshed, he will only sink deeper into trouble.
Even if Bai Ye manages to win this once, countless more times await him.
Once Bai Ye loses, that's it.
"Don't rush to persuade me now." Bai Ye pointed outside and said, "Did you hear that? Even if you let me go, they probably won't agree!"
He stood up, stretched his limbs, loosened his wrists, and said:
"My ancestors told me that strength is always the foundation for upholding justice, dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only within the range of cannons!"
"If I don't show my strength, everyone will probably think I'm an easy target!"
At the street corner outside Rachel's house.
An American major stands in front of an armored vehicle, methodically deploying armed forces.
Behind him, the soldiers entered their positions in an orderly fashion.
"Report: All civilians have been evacuated. Eight armored vehicles have blocked the east and west street entrances. The ten-member sniper team is in position. Requesting instructions."
A heavily armed white soldier, carrying a SCAR assault rifle, ran up to the major to report.
"Where are the armed helicopters?"
"The major asked."
"Five Black Hawk helicopters are also in position on the temporary helipad."
The soldier's way.
Major: "OK, awaiting orders, ready to strike at any time."
Colson said.
"Yes!"
The soldier responded and turned to leave.
Inside the room, Bai Ye laughed and said, "It seems they really think highly of me, making such a big fuss about it."
"Mr. Baiye, please don't act rashly."
Coulson quickly replied:
"Let me talk to that major; there might still be a chance for things to turn around."
"Given the domineering nature of you Americans, I don't think he'll listen to you and obediently retreat. But..." Bai Ye smiled and said, "For Caitlin's sake, I'll let you give it a try!"
“I am a very magnanimous person and I will not pursue the matter further. As for the incident of breaking into my girlfriend’s house and attempting to kill people indiscriminately, I will just make them stay away from me and my girlfriend in the future.”
Coulson gave a wry smile: "Alright, Mr. White Night, I'll try my best to convey your meaning to the other party."
Of course, he couldn't really be as blunt as Bai Ye said. Instead, he had to use his agent's rhetoric to persuade the other side's major to temporarily retreat and leave the mess to S.H.I.E.L.D. to handle. Only in this way would there be room for maneuver.
Otherwise, if Bai Ye were to clash with the opponent, it would only result in a lose-lose situation.
Coulson turned around, pondering how to speak to the major, but didn't dwell on why Bai Ye had said it was for Caitlin's sake...
"Major, I am Phil Coulson, a Level 6 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I request to speak with you!"
Colson shouted.
The agents Coulson brought were also outside the house. They took out their S.H.I.E.L.D. credentials and explained the situation to the major.
The major frowned.
He nodded anyway.
Coulson walked out of the house with his hands raised, also afraid of being misunderstood and then being shot in the back.
"Don't shoot!"
The major raised his right hand and shouted.
Coulson walked safely to the major and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened here has nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D. You'd better leave now, or I'll take care of you all!"
The major said very bluntly.
Coulson said, "Major, what happened here is actually a misunderstanding. Please calm down!"
"A misunderstanding!?" The major roared, spitting in Coulson's face. "My entire squad was killed, and you're telling me this is a misunderstanding!? Maybe you SHIELD agents don't treat your men like human beings, but we don't!"
Coulson wiped the spittle from his face, his expression darkening, and said:
"Major, are you even aware of your department's modus operandi? You barged into people's homes without a word, planned to use a woman and child as leverage, and even intended to kill anyone who knew the truth. Your department has violated almost every law in the United States! You were quick to eliminate those who knew the truth, but when you ran into a tough opponent and were retaliated against, you panicked?"
The major showed no shame at being pointed out by Coulson. Instead, he said matter-of-factly, "Our department was specially established to protect the interests of the United States. Our way of doing things has also been reviewed by higher authorities. So if you have any opinions about our way of doing things, you can complain to higher authorities. But how we do things now is none of your business at S.H.I.E.L.D."
This major is a typical American.
The true nature of the United States is imperialism, hegemony, and plunder. These are methods and means developed on the basis of capitalist colonization and conquest. What is hegemony? Simply put, it's a double standard where one side is allowed to do as it pleases while the other is forbidden even to light a lamp. What is American hegemony? Simply put, American interests are the rules of the world. The United States has the right to develop all kinds of weapons, while other countries cannot. This is the United States—a hegemonic nation that talks a good game but does terrible things.
Therefore, this major firmly believes that it is acceptable for his department to indiscriminately kill innocent people, but it is unacceptable for you innocent people who are indiscriminately killed to rise up and resist; you deserve to die!
Coulson was furious, but he had to remain patient and said, "Major, I may not be able to control how you do things, but I have to remind you, the person inside is no ordinary person. Even if you can defeat him, you will definitely pay a heavy price. Don't you care about your own soldiers? I think it would be better if we sat down and talked..."
"Soldier!"
The major suddenly shouted, then pointed at Coulson and said:
"Get this guy out of here. I don't want to see him again until the fight is over!"
Immediately, two soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Coulson's arms, and dragged him away.
"Shit!!"
Coulson cursed, but there was nothing he could do. The enemy was right in front of him, and with just a few men and a few guns, they couldn't stop the enemy from doing whatever they wanted.
"Listen up, you inside! You're surrounded! Surrender immediately, or we'll take immediate action against you!"
The loudspeaker emitted a deafening sound.
Of course, even if Bai Ye were truly stupid enough to surrender without resistance, he would have no chance of survival.
They were just going through the motions out of politeness.
If Bai Ye were to actually wave his white underwear and come out to surrender at this moment, he would be riddled with holes by the steel torrent in an instant!
"I really don't know how this farce will end!"
Coulson looked at the room with a worried expression.
Suddenly.
His phone rang.
It was Nick Fury calling.
"Chief?"
"Coulson, let's retreat."
On the other end of the phone, Nick Fury sounded tired.
Coulson knew he couldn't stop the conflict on his own, so before leaving the house, he called Nick Fury and told him the whole story, asking Fury to negotiate with the department's superiors to achieve a decisive victory and force the soldiers to retreat.
But Coulson never expected that he would be the one to retreat.
Nick Fury: "An entire elite squad on the other side was wiped out, so they said there was no room for negotiation, and therefore S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't get involved."
"Director... are we just going to give up on Mr. Bai Ye like this?"
Coulson frowned and asked.
“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Nick Fury said calmly. “He’s very valuable, but he’s far too reckless. If he had only injured people, even crippled the entire squad, there would still be room for maneuver. But he killed someone…”
Even if we could recruit him, he probably wouldn't be very obedient to our commands, so it's time to make a clean break.
Through Captain Marvel, Nick Fury learned that humans are not the only intelligent beings in the universe; on the contrary, they are a very weak race. Therefore, he was willing to preserve Earth's vital forces, such as White Nights, for the future.
