General Ross Intervenes

S.H.I.E.L.D.. is a very special unit in the United States. It has many ties with the United States, but it is independent of the United States government system and belongs to the World Security Council.

In all of Marvel's universes.

This Earth is always home to a large number of villains or organizations that want to destroy or rule the world.

It's a bit better in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there are still Hydra Ten Rings, and other evil terrorist organizations.

Therefore, there exists an organization in this world called the World Security Council.

The development of S.H.I.E.L.D.. is funded and overseen by the vast majority of countries in the world.

Therefore, although S.H.I.E.L.D.. is headquartered in the United States, it is a large-scale counterterrorism intelligence organization with operations all over the world.

Therefore, although S.H.I.E.L.D.. has a very strong influence in the United States, it never publicly has much interaction with government departments.

However, today, General Ross, a powerful figure in the United States. military, led hundreds of military vehicles into the S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.

"This is the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.. All non- S.H.I.E.L.D.. armed personnel are prohibited from entering. Please state your purpose and leave."

The defensive iron gates on the S.H.I.E.L.D.. bridge were tightly closed, and a fixed communicator nearby emitted a sound.

The door of the lead military Humvee opened, and General Ross, with a cigar in his mouth, stepped out.

"I am General Ross. We are a military unit under the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense has been kidnapped by terrorists in this building. We are now taking over this building until Secretary Pierce is rescued."

General Ross was beaming and had a booming voice; he was indeed in high spirits when he was happy.

The agents in charge of internal security at S.H.I.E.L.D.. looked at each other in bewilderment; the situation was beyond their authority.

Normally, S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the United States. military are friendly entities, but it's unlikely that a large-scale armed incursion would occur into another organization, even to rescue Secretary Pierce.

This action should have been ordered and coordinated by the top management of both sides, but where are the top S.H.I.E.L.D.. right now?

Director Nick Fury has been attacked and is missing. The two highest-ranking officers under him, Agent Hill, are also missing. Coulson is on a secret mission, and no one except Nick Fury knows his whereabouts.

Alexander Pierce had temporarily taken charge of S.H.I.E.L.D.. by virtue of his former position Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. and liaison officer for the World Security Council. Now that he's in the building, what's the use of not being able to contact him?

All the officially armed personnel inside the building are still on the top floor watching Xia Yu throw grenades; they're in a real dilemma.

"General Ross, please wait a moment, I need to report this."

"I'm only giving you three minutes. Once the time is up, my men will storm in." Aside from the last time at the Avengers Compound, General Ross was still quite arrogant.

The agent who spoke was a seasoned veteran in the workplace; he knew all too well that whether he released the person or not, he could bear heavy responsibility.

So he simply contacted several mid-level managers within S.H.I.E.L.D.. who were in similar positions, and they held a brief meeting.

The final conclusion was that, given the extraordinary circumstances, responsibility should be shared equally, and people should be allowed to enter.

Several mid-level managers also had Hydra agents among them. They believed that military intervention still offered a chance to save Alexander Pierce, so they unanimously agreed to bring in General Ross.

General Ross brought a large number of men, and his first act upon arrival was to send people to take over and disarm them layer by layer.

They came under the guise of rescuing people, but they were from another department. Theoretically, they should have been cooperating to rescue people.

General Ross's actions were clearly a serious overstep, but the reason given was suspicion that there were terrorists working within S.H.I.E.L.D.., and that disarmament was necessary to allow the military to focus on the rescue.

With no bigwig in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.., it was clear that no one could stand up to General Ross, so he took over the entire building quite easily.

When General Ross led his men to the top floor of the building and got off the elevator, General Ross and his men almost thought they had wandered into the wrong movie set.

A group of people were lying haphazardly on the ground, and next to them, hundreds of armed men had laid down their weapons and were squatting neatly by the wall eating ice cream cones.

General Ross was a battle-hardened general who had been on the battlefield and fought many battles. Even amidst a hail of bullets or rivers of blood and corpses, he would not blink an eye.

But the bizarre scene before him sent a chill down General Ross's spine; it was far too unusual.

Then turn to the other side.

Everyone, including General Ross, gasped in shock.

General Ross brought his personal guards to the top floor, a battle-hardened elite force, who had seen all kinds of weaponry, including grenades, firearms, and Missiles.

General Ross has even seen and handled several high-yield Negasonic Teenage Warheads.

But he was sitting amidst a pile of Negasonic Teenage Warhead with their Missile pointing upwards, with several boxes of hand grenades in front of him.

The crucial point is that Xia Yu was also holding a hand grenade and tossing it around playfully.

Driven by professional instinct, everyone instantly calculated the power of the explosives, and then they all gasped in shock once again.

His eyes began to follow the grenade in Xia Yu's hand as it moved up and down.

If it falls to the ground and isn't caught, there's still a small chance the safety pin will come off. Although it's very small, with so many Missiles around, no one would do that, no matter how small the chance.

It's like everyone knows that a grenade won't explode if you hold the wristband after pulling the pin, but how many people have the courage to keep holding it still?

General Ross felt a headache coming on just from seeing Xia Yu.

Seeing what happened, General Ross was speechless. He didn't know whether to praise Xia Yu or call him crazy. His head was throbbing.

General Ross's lips twitched, and he was about to say something.

The key is, you can't get through this if you don't speak up.

Xia Yu casually tossed the grenade up, swatting it away with both hands as if swatting a mosquito, and it vanished.

General Ross had heard of and even witnessed some of Xia Yu's abilities, but the soldiers behind him were unaware of that.

With a 'pop,' the grenade disappeared.

Everyone nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets.

Before General Ross could speak, Xia Yu stood up and greeted him with the enthusiasm of an insurance salesman meeting a client, extending his hand from a distance to shake hands.

"General Ross, you've finally arrived! It's been so long! I've missed you terribly, especially the smell of your military checks—they smell so sweet."

Originally, this was supposed to be a win-win situation for everyone. After the battle in New York, Bruce Banner completely gave up, as long as he could control the Hulk within him. After all, he only had one daughter who was still with him.

The old father's heart aches.

Although he had suffered losses at Xia Yu's hands, he was not essentially an enemy, so when General Ross saw Xia Yu's enthusiasm, he reached out his hand to greet him.

But as soon as Xia Yu opened his mouth, General Ross's outstretched hand twisted and trembled like a chicken claw.

His face flushed red and then turned pale; he almost vomited blood.

He had recently undergone heart bypass surgery and was discharged from the hospital.

Upon seeing General Ross's expression, Xia Yu quickly took his hand.

You can't go on taking advantage of someone's good fortune forever.

"Let's not talk about the past. You've come all this way, it must have been tiring. Would you like some ice cream to replenish your energy?"
