American comics: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, wandering around and losing contact

Chapter 111 Assassination of the President
"How is the President's health now?" asked Kailus.

The woman on the phone hesitated for a moment. She could tell that the other party was not Tony Stark, and seemed to be hesitating whether to tell him these things.

"I'm Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I believe I should have the right to know the inside story of this matter." Nick immediately and calmly stated his identity.

Even he has just found out about this matter...it shows how well the confidentiality work has been done.

"Ah, it's Mr. Fury, that's fine." After confirming the identity, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. President, your life is not in danger for now. The bullet only penetrated the bulletproof vest at a tricky angle and stayed in the shallow layer of the body. It's not fatal. But it will take some effort to remove the bullet."

"The medical staff around the President have all been sent to deal with post-disaster matters, and he doesn't want other strangers to know about this. Therefore... there is no place and no one who can handle this kind of surgery that requires sophisticated operations, so we need to rent a medical surgical robot from Mr. Stark..."

From the woman's words, we could tell that the president's life was probably indeed safe, as he was able to give so many orders calmly even after being shot.

Snapped.

At this time, the door was pushed open.

Tony finished his work and appeared at the door. He seemed to be still worried about the trivial things in his mind. After walking in, as if he felt the atmosphere in the room that had frozen for a moment, Tony raised his eyes and immediately looked at the angry expression on Nick's face in surprise.

……

Half an hour later, Tony, also with a serious expression, delivered the equipment and medicines requested by the President to the military helicopter that came to pick them up, and then sat opposite Kailus and the other man.

Things were a little beyond their expectations. Although the result showed that the president, who was still in his prime, was safe in the end and only needed to recuperate for a while.

However, the assassination of the President of the Federation...even though the result was unsuccessful, it was enough to make people feel scared.

In particular, the assassin seemed to have deliberately refrained from killing.

"Mutants...Mystique..." Tony muttered the information he had just received.

As smart as Tony is, it is impossible for him not to realize what this means. Mystique is just a tool, and the person behind her is hinting that the so-called president may be dispensable in his eyes and can be killed at any time.

Threat? But what is the purpose of this threat?
"Could it be the remnants of Hydra? No...how could those guys have such means?" Nick, who is most familiar with Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D., made a quick judgment, shook his head to deny his guess.

Hydra was quite good at taking advantage of the chaos, but since the base had been swept away, the remaining remnants were not enough to command the mutants to work for them. Moreover, if it was really Hydra, they would just assassinate it directly, there was no need to threaten it anymore.

"What's the news reaction now?" Tony inquired.

The president was willing to risk worsening his gunshot wound in order to hide the news, which shows that the federal people who had experienced the disaster were very sensitive at this moment.

"Jarvis, bring up the latest live TV broadcast and broadcast it."

Under Tony's command, a virtual screen soon appeared in front of him, and many well-known TV programs were presented on the screen.

Fortunately, most of the news is still focused on street reconstruction and topics about alien forces.

"Fortunately...it seems that the news was indeed blocked in time." Nick breathed a sigh of relief.

The relationship between SHIELD and the president is relatively harmonious at the moment, but that doesn't mean it will always be like this. As a security agency under the government, many of their powers are granted in the name of the federal president, including being allowed to go to Las Vegas for investigation this time.

There have been presidents in history who have rejected the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D., set up their own agency, and sidelined themselves as director.

If that happens, their future investigations will inevitably be hindered at every turn.

However, there was a strange sound.

"The Governor of Nevada has been invited to participate... Nick, what is this?" Kalus stared at a certain area on the virtual screen and read out the program introduction above. Attracted by his voice, Nick and Tony quickly came over.

This is a niche TV channel with not many viewers on weekdays, but it has also opened a news channel in recent days to take advantage of the popularity.

On TV, the host in a suit and tie was holding a small notebook and asking the person in front of him questions seriously.

"...Mr. Governor, you said that the disaster caused by this alien invasion was actually caused by those who claim to be superheroes? Can you elaborate on your opinion?"

The middle-aged man opposite was sitting with his legs crossed, talking calmly. It seemed that he was the invited guest.

"Of course... We can see that those alien friends who came to visit us didn't do anything excessive. Did anyone see them launch missiles? No, but many people saw with their own eyes that those superheroes rudely and unreasonably blew up the alien friends' spaceships."

"I seriously suspect that the main perpetrators of this alien attack were not the so-called aliens, but the criminals who claim to be superheroes!"

The middle-aged man spoke confidently in a gradually rising tone.

"whispering sound!"

Of course, the audience in the audience were not fools. Such brainless remarks naturally triggered boos. However, due to freedom of speech, the host did not interrupt him.

Kailus watched the screen on TV with a twitching mouth, feeling as funny as watching a clown dancing.

No one saw the alien missiles with their own eyes? Nonsense... Because those who saw it would have been blown to ashes by the energy missiles...

However, perhaps for ratings considerations, the host continued to ask questions along the same topic after a moment of contemplation.

"So do you think that all this is actually the fault of the superheroes? It shouldn't be like this, right? We can all see that they have done a lot of good things, right?"

The host is also a man who knows the times. Given the current situation and public opinion, most of the credit for expelling the aliens goes to the superheroes.

While the heroes were fighting the alien monsters without hesitation, the government and the military were still struggling over whether to send troops and how many troops to send, and were blaming each other.

"No, their faults far outweigh that insignificant good deed. Of course, it's not just them, but also the president in Washington. I heard that he was the first to propose this superhero plan, and he even offered those superheroes sky-high hiring fees for this. I ask everyone to think about it carefully. Using taxpayers' money to hire people to destroy taxpayers' houses, isn't this a joke!"

"I question whether the president is able to perform his duties to protect the personal safety of citizens, and... has everyone been paying attention to the recent news? The president has not appeared in public for a long time. I doubt... he can't even protect his own personal safety!"

zizi.

At this time, the TV was turned off. It was probably because the TV station itself felt that what the man said was too outrageous.

"...Fuck, what the hell is this? Journalism is really the most evil thing in the world..."

After holding it in for a while, Nick cursed out loud, as if he had accidentally stepped on a pile of shit while walking.

"Forget it. Fortunately, the news of the president's assassination didn't leak out. So it's okay."

As a rich young man, Tony was already used to the media's fake hype, so he took off his glasses calmly.

In short, the first thing to do now is to find out the whereabouts of Mystique, who tried to assassinate the president. We cannot let this threatening guy continue to wander around.

"Wait a minute... this guy..."

At this time, Kailus suddenly interrupted.
