A Plot Against Them

The White House in Washington, White House., is an 18-acre complex including gardens, with the White House usually referring to the central, three-story main building.

This building was personally selected by George Washington, the first president of the United States of America, from numerous design submissions in 1792.

The White House was completed in 1980, but Washington died in December 1799 and never lived in the White House for a single day.

As a symbol of political power in one of the world's most powerful nations, the White House has naturally been the subject of many romantic and bizarre folk tales.

Most legends are obviously unreliable, but some have been proven to be true.

For example, President Kennedy built a secret passageway directly to the Oval Office so he could have an affair with Marilyn Monroe.

There are even rumors that Marilyn Monroe had an entangled relationship with John Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy, and that the three of them were even together...

One of Marilyn Monroe's bodyguards possessed a video of her having an affair with another woman. After the company went bankrupt, the video was seized by the court and eventually ended up in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Natasha confirmed this to Xia Yu herself.

If the romantic escapades are true, then the secret passage might also be real.

At that moment, the United States president was meeting with two mysterious guests in a secret passage.

The entire passageway had been searched three times by Secret Service bodyguards, and the two guests had been scanned repeatedly by various detectors.

Only after confirming that it was completely safe were people allowed to enter a small hall in the middle of the passage. This small hall was formed by widening the tunnel three meters to each side.

Since Kennedy, successive United States presidents have modified this secret passage to varying degrees according to their own needs.

This passageway is now fully capable of providing temporary shelter for the president in the event of danger.

However, the two Mysterio who came here clearly did not have the right to visit this legendary secret passage; it was the only area they were allowed to enter, and also the place where the president met with them.

Many things in this world are very different from what Xia Yu experienced in his previous life. For example, the United States president around 2000 was quite different from the one in his previous life.

This president is an arrogant and conceited old man whose behavior is somewhat similar to Trump in Xia Yu's previous life. Arrogance and self-importance perfectly describe this president.

After being thoroughly humiliated by Xia Yu, President Trump, who was preparing for re-election, harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Avengers. (I just wanted to make the name easier, haha.)

Recent events have caused his approval ratings to plummet.

He urgently needs to do something to ensure his re-election and entry into the White House.

That's why he risked entering the secret passage to meet the two strangers.

The visitors were a man and a woman. The man was about forty years old, with very sharp eyes, looking like he had been through the trials of war. The woman was very young and very beautiful, but other than that, there was nothing particularly special about her.

Our President Trump sat upright in his chair, his head slightly tilted back, his chin angled towards the man and woman, like a proud little rooster awaiting their sincere greeting.

The man and woman extended their hands from a distance. The man said loudly, "Hello, Your Excellency President, I am Baron Strucker, and this is my assistant, Wanda Django Maximoff."

The two people who secretly met with the United States president were none other than Baron Strucker, one of the leaders of Hydra, and Scarlet Witch.

The two people's outstretched hands were stopped by the bodyguards just a table away.

Baron Strucker chuckled self-deprecatingly and gestured to Scarlet Witch; together, they lowered their outstretched hands.

President Trump glanced at the two men, slammed his hands on the table, and stood up, his obese body swaying as he strode what he thought was a dashing gait.

Ignoring the bodyguards' attempts to stop him, he approached the Scarlet Witch, extended his right hand, and said:

"People around me are always overly concerned about my safety, after all, my job is a bit special, haha, but I still insist that ladies should have a certain level of courtesy."

Scarlet Witch paused for a moment, then extended her right hand as well.

President Trump, in a very gentlemanly manner, took Scarlet Witch's hand and even bowed his head to kiss it.

A flash of deep disgust crossed Scarlet Witch's eyes, while Baron Strucker's lips curled into a faint smile, visible only from his angle.

A red light flashed from Scarlet Witch's fingertip and entered President Trump's head.

President Trump gave the Scarlet Witch what he considered a very gentlemanly smile, then, clearly impatient, casually reached out and shook hands with Baron Strucker.

Baron Strucker's smile deepened, for he saw a barely perceptible red glint in Trump's eyes, confirming that the arrogant president had fallen for his trap and that his objective had been largely achieved.

Trump assumed that Strucker was pleased by his initiative in shaking hands, nodded in satisfaction, and returned to his seat.

"Now you can tell me exactly what kind of help you can offer me? I admire your courage to contact me, as a remnant of Hydra. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, I'll make you regret ever being born," President Trump said with an arrogant expression.

Baron Strucker looked at the United States president speaking in a deliberately affected tone and felt a moment of disorientation. If the previous two United States presidents had been as arrogant and foolish as this one, Hydra would have already taken over the entire Western world.

Baron Strucker and President Trump talked for two whole hours in the secret passage, until eventually the bodyguards were forced by Trump to leave the hall and not be allowed to come back in.

Aside from Scarlet Witch, no one knows what they talked about or what agreement they reached, but it was definitely related to dealing with the Avengers.

Back in the Oval Office, President Trump made a phone call.

"Notify United Nations Headquarters that I need to convene an emergency meeting regarding the Avengers..."
