With something this major happening in the desert town, the Supervision Bureau, the foremost agency responsible for handling supernatural incidents, naturally couldn't possibly be the last to find out.
After all...
The Federation allocated so much funding to the Supervision Bureau every year.
In fact, the Supervision Bureau was the first to learn what had happened in the desert town. It was also the Supervision Bureau that reported it to Pennsylvania Avenue.
Lake was very busy.
In the desert town, he had to direct and perform the story of the war between the angels of light and the fallen angels. Then he had to sit in Gardiners Island and keep an eye on every move in the ordinary world.
This was all thanks to the fact that Lake had once practiced the ability to multitask. He had suffered plenty while learning it, but now that he needed the skill, he couldn't help feeling fortunate.
When the military commander heard Adam's words, his expression subtly changed. "They didn't come?"
Adam chuckled. He knew what the military commander was thinking and looked at him. "Your phone."
The military commander froze slightly.
As soon as he finished speaking...
The military commander's phone rang loudly.
Gardiners Island.
The Combat Command Center.
After Lake finished speaking with the military commander and cut off the communication, he watched the video conference displayed on the giant screen, showing the Pentagon, the White House, S.H.I.E.L.D., the Department of Justice, and the giant of Langley. Then he looked back toward the president at the White House and continued, "Mr. President, as I said, this is a performance of angels of light fighting fallen birdmen. It isn't something we can participate in."
The Secretary of State smiled from the side. "The Supervision Bureau can't participate either?"
Lake's smile didn't change.
