Inside the conference room of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s direct superior, the World Security Council, representatives of the five great powers had gathered together.
The moment everyone sat down, before the meeting's host could even call it to order, the American representative opened fire on the only Asian face present.
"This vile incident was a conspiracy by certain countries against America!"
The middle-aged Asian man looked around, his face full of confusion.
"What happened?"
The Russian representative, never one to fear making trouble bigger, openly stirred the pot. "You don't know? The White House got defiled!"
"That happened?"
The middle-aged Asian man looked shocked, then indignant. "That's outrageous! How could anyone do such a thing to the White House?"
"It's just a building!"
Pfft. The American representative felt as though someone had stabbed him in the chest again.
"Fuck!"
The American representative roared at the middle-aged Asian man. "You dare say it had nothing to do with you? That woman clearly had an Asian face, and she spoke fluent Chinese!"
"Mr. Arthur, I understand that your ability to learn foreign languages is lacking, but you cannot decide someone belongs to a certain country just because they learned another nation's language."
The middle-aged Asian man slyly mocked him. "For example, I can speak English, French, Russian, German, and many other languages fluently, but I am still Chinese."
"Sorry, I forgot Mr. Arthur only speaks his native language."
"You..."
The American representative slammed his fist on the conference table and glared viciously at the middle-aged Asian man.
"Wow, the table seems to be cracking."
The Russian representative once again embraced the spirit of a troublemaker. Pointing at the table before the American representative, he exaggerated, "I remember you haven't paid your membership fees for the past few years. The finance department can't reimburse this table, so I vote no."
"Fuck!"
The American representative looked around at his two lackeys, trying to bring in reinforcements.
France looked up at the ceiling, while Britain lowered his head to inspect his shoes. Neither said a word.
They had become lackeys only out of necessity. Seeing America humiliated, they could not show it openly, but privately, they were delighted.
Two eunuchs dueled atop the White House. Such a huge event naturally spread across the globe. Nearly every country was laughing at America while marveling at Invincible East's power. They promptly dispatched intelligence agents to America, hoping to find this warrior.
Naturally, the Americans had also mobilized all their resources to search for Invincible East, but she seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.
After all, they did not know that A Zhen was not actually human.
Though they could not find Invincible East, the CIA, FBI, S.H.I.E.L.D., and even Hydra each captured a minor eunuch with shallow skills who had been unable to resist showing himself.
Great America had suffered such humiliation, so these powerful agencies naturally would not go easy on a few minor eunuchs.
The awakened Nick Fury personally entered the interrogation room. The minor eunuch captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. lay on a metal bed, all four limbs locked down by thick circular restraints, while an anesthetic needle hovered above his head, ready to pierce him at any moment.
Coulson, Melinda, and Ward, three Level Seven agents, took turns handling him, each using the interrogation methods they excelled at most.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
The minor eunuch not only had shallow skills, but also weak resolve. Though he had possessed the courage to cut himself, he could not endure the lengthy interrogation of professional agents.
After witnessing Invincible East's terrifying power, the minor eunuchs had feared that revealing Lord Dongfang's identity would bring trouble. However, the interrogation techniques developed by professional agents could only possibly be endured by peers who had undergone long-term anti-interrogation training. Ordinary people had almost no chance of surviving them.
"Don't rush. There are still some procedures left." The calm Coulson continued the process, methodically applying the small tools in his hand to the minor eunuch.
At that moment, Coulson was like a devout sculptor, skillfully wielding every tool, ignoring the cries of pain as he worked with complete focus.
"Fuck you! I said I'll confess!" The minor eunuch's emotions completely collapsed.
Coulson still completed every procedure, then carefully observed the minor eunuch's reactions. Only after a moment did he make an OK gesture toward the director behind the observation mirror.
"Ask him who that woman is, whether they belong to an organization, and most importantly, where their power comes from," Nick Fury said gravely.
After waking up, Black Nick Fury discovered that his old-fashioned pager had been destroyed. This meant he could no longer contact Carol directly and could only send a long-distance message through the Skrull spacecraft in near-Earth orbit.
But the Skrulls' communications technology naturally could not compare to the pager Carol had modified using Kree Empire technology.
When the message would arrive, and whether it could overcome cosmic radiation and be delivered successfully, were both questions.
Having lost a major ally while a terrifying powerhouse capable of cleaving the sky with a sword had appeared on American soil left this severe paranoia sufferer feeling deeply unsafe.
Coulson began asking questions, and the tortured minor eunuch told him everything in detail.
After hearing it, the three Level Seven agents' expressions changed. Melinda instinctively shifted her gaze toward the area below Coulson and Ward's waists, her look meaningful.
Coulson and Ward suddenly felt a chill and reflexively pressed their legs together.
Even Nick Fury behind the observation mirror could not help lowering his head.
Perhaps this was an instinct carved into the genes of all male creatures.
None of the agents doubted the minor eunuch's words, because they had already discovered that it was cold between his legs.
At first, they had thought it was an accident. They had never expected it to be a prerequisite for gaining power.
Nick Fury came back to his senses and immediately took out his phone to contact the CIA and FBI. He first shared S.H.I.E.L.D.'s interrogation records, naturally receiving their records in exchange.
After comparing the accounts from all sides, Nick Fury finally confirmed it.
"She... he... was actually a man!"
Thinking back to the seductive figure in red he had seen at noon, he had never imagined that the other party was actually a man.
Shaking his head to clear away those useless thoughts, Nick Fury fell silent for a moment before immediately making a decision.
"Bring in several men who have undergone sex reassignment surgery."
With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources, finding several similar test subjects was far too easy.
According to the latest data released by UCLA's Williams Institute, 5.6% of Americans identified as LGBT, roughly fourteen million people.
Among such a massive population, there were naturally men willing to cut themselves for a sex change.
Originally, these people had cut themselves only to follow the call of their hearts. Now they learned that they could also gain extraordinary power. It was practically an unexpected blessing!
"Really?"
Alice, a New Yorker brought in by S.H.I.E.L.D., covered her mouth with one hand, unable to hide her delight.
"I can become as powerful as Invincible East?"
She had undergone the surgery eight years ago. Though life was somewhat inconvenient, Alice had been happy to become the woman she had always dreamed of being and fulfill her childhood wish.
Now someone was telling her that she could become as powerful as the Invincible East from the news. It was like winning the lottery out of the blue!
"The experiment may be risky..." Coulson, being the kind-hearted man he was, remained friendly when dealing with harmless fellow citizens and patiently explained it to Alice.
"Additionally, you must sign a confidentiality agreement and promise to join S.H.I.E.L.D. after gaining power."
"No problem!"
Alice raised an orchid finger with her large-knuckled hand and giggled coquettishly. "Hurry up and begin! I can't wait any longer."
Several similar transgender people were brought before the minor eunuch. Having been broken by the interrogation methods, the numb minor eunuch stepped forward and transferred his Inner Force into them, planting seeds within their bodies before circulating his own Inner Force to clear their meridians.
Lin Hao, who had copied the residual Inner Force in Yang Guo's left arm and trained arduously for nearly ten years, had still spent several hours clearing Adam Smith's meridians. These minor eunuchs, with their shallow skills, naturally needed even more time.
Fortunately, America's upper ranks had become extremely patient about this matter.
After all, to cut or not to cut, that was a major question.
