Marvel’s Superman

Chapter 469 In S.H.I.E.L.D., return to Earth

Seeing Peggy's back disappearing from sight, Howard put away the smile on his face and waved the secretary to close the office door.

After a moment of thought, he took out a cell phone from the drawer.

Enter an encrypted channel and make calls to unknown contacts.

Drop, drop, drop.

It rang three times before someone answered.

"What's the matter with you? I've said it before, try to keep a low profile, keep your hands and feet clean, and avoid leaving any clues that can be traced."

Howard bent his fingers and tapped the table hard to express his dissatisfaction.

He finally managed to confuse Peggy Carter by cooperating with the White House and giving S.H.I.E.L.D. a reason to seek external support.

But that's just a slowdown.

If the other party continues to investigate, sooner or later, he will reveal his fault.

As the current top leader of S.H.I.E.L.D., Peggy Carter has power far beyond Howard's initial judgment.

For example, the red house.

The spy agency originally affiliated with Leviathan has become the secretariat of SHIELD.

The beautiful "nightingales" were assigned to various departments after special training, and acted as confidential secretaries and other roles.

In a way, they were the eyes and ears of Peggy Carter, allowing the female commander to more effectively control the internal situation of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Any troubles can't be hidden from the sight of the red house.

And the field team led by Nick Fury, the White Queen Emma Frost's mutant academy...

These are independent agencies that Howard cannot intervene and have no authority to direct.

The only place he can penetrate is the scientific research department.

And that's not all, like Anim-Zola, Bolivar-Teslak... The laboratories they are in charge of, do not allow outsiders to enter at all.

As for Howard Stark, that's even less welcome.

"This guy's popularity is really bad!"

Thinking of this, "Howard" complained.

Obviously, he is not himself.

"We have been careful enough. S.H.I.E.L.D. has too many eyeliners and too much power. It is impossible to completely avoid their attention."

On the other end of the phone, there was a voice of complaint.

"The strength of this planet is not strong, we can completely control the high-level human beings, and then disband S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Those superheroes, and mutants... are very disciplined. As long as they use the pressure of public opinion to persecute and divide, I believe that they will become a mess in a short time!"

Howard frowned, seemed a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "Are you teaching me to do things?"

He is the commander of the advance force of the Skrull Empire this time.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I just... suggest."

The voice from the mobile phone dropped immediately.

"You only saw the first layer, but I thought about the second and third layers."

Howard cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "SHIELD not only has the highest authority given by the World Security Council, but can handle most issues in the international context. As far as I know, Peggy Carter secretly and the three major temples The magician of our relationship has a lot of relationship, and the movement is too big, which will hinder our actions."

"Besides, rashly launching a plan, if the guy named Superman... gets out, how will it end?"

The impostor has searched the memory of Howard Stark himself, and Luke Cavill has a certain understanding of the disappearing director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The impression left by the other party to the public is only the word "strong".

This is the first thought that most people have when they mention that Mr. Director.

"We should be careful and make sure the mission is done."

Howard was focused and urged: "Don't cause any more trouble on your side, increase the intensity of infiltration, and strive to wipe out the top military officials. I will continue to inquire about the 'Tianma Project', as well as the Kerry Empire's Mar-Will The whereabouts of the Doctor and the Lightspeed Engine."

Then he ordered a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

Howard Stark is an important figure in S.H.I.E.L.D. and loves to run around.

Therefore, he was directly selected by the Skrulls' advance force and became the first object of disguise.

And Peggy Carter, who is also in a high position, because the relationship network is too complicated, and often goes between the White House and the Council headquarters, the Skrulls are not easy to start.

"Superman..."

The Skrull officer disguised as Howard Stark narrowed his eyes.

As we all know, the Director of SHIELD has disappeared for a long time.

Considering that there had been similar disappearances before, the Skrull chief chose to hide.

Finding the light-speed engine, so as to contribute to the magnificent cause of the Skrull Empire, is the first task.

Conquer the earth, you can slow down a little.

...

"What do you think about this?"

In the headquarters building, in the top office, Peggy put her chin on one hand and asked softly.

Opposite her sits Nick Fury.

"About Mr. Stark?"

Nick Fury pondered the statement. He is currently an eighth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., responsible for the management of the field team.

"If it's just a little abnormal, it won't prove anything. There is sometimes only a fine line between genius and lunatic... Moreover, Mr. Stark is usually not normal."

"He often tells bad jokes that no one understands, and then locks himself in the laboratory, does not go out for ten days and a half months, or spends a lot of time and has sex with multiple women at one time..."

Nick Fury didn't have much contact with Howard Stark, and it was difficult for a while to understand where Peggy Carter's abnormal behavior was reflected.

"Steve, how has he been?"

Peggy didn't bother about this topic, but brought up the long-retired Captain America.

"Well, Captain Rogers and his wife, and... Bucky Barnes, they're doing well."

Nick Fury replied with a weird look on his face.

If you ignore the second half of the sentence, you can think that Captain America has a happy marriage and a happy family.

But with the second half of the sentence, it will look very strange.

It's obviously a peaceful life for two people, so why add a Bucky Barnes?

"Go get Steve, SHIELD needs the help of Captain America."

Paige was indifferent, accustomed to the close bromance of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes.

Frankly, at every family reunion, she even felt that Margaery, Captain America's wife, was the superfluous one.

"clear."

Nick Fury's heart froze, realizing the seriousness.

In fact, Peggy wasn't just about to ask Captain America to come out.

I also plan to contact White Queen Emma Frost to remind the mages of the three temples.

Intuition told her that unknown changes were taking place, and that a terrible storm had begun to brew.

S.H.I.E.L.D. must be prepared to deal with it, to ensure that it is not overwhelmed.

Peggy issued orders methodically until all the work at hand was done.

She rubbed her temples to relieve her fatigue.

Whenever she was free, the female commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't help but think of the bastard who pushed all the work to herself and was not responsible at all.

"If Superman was still around, how could there be any of these problems."

Peggy shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Luke will always be the pinnacle of S.H.I.E.L.D. With him, everything will be calm.

But with Superman's departure, the world becomes turbulent and dangerous.

...

Ignorance, Difan Group Building.

"After drinking, did you feel better?"

Glancing at the drunk Captain Marvel, Luke put down his glass and asked.

In the past few hours, the other party almost emptied his inventory.

Cup after cup, bottle after bottle, never stopped.

"Okay, much better."

Carol stammered.
