Carol Hearing the MP's question, his heart tightened and he was about to open his mouth to defend himself.
Stern didn't give her a chance, and then said:
"For example, you clearly knew the huge danger of Tesseract, but you allowed it to wander on the earth, endangering human safety."
"Also, we learned that a group of aliens named Skrulls were also brought to the earth by you. They even plan to destroy human civilization and regard this place as their new home. How do you explain this?"
Carol took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and said:
"Mr. Congressman, I have always been protecting the peace of the universe in my own way, which of course includes the earth. As for Tesseract, I thought it had been properly handled at the time. I was not aware of Skrulls's idea of invading the earth at the time!"
Stern sneered:
"Do you think? As such a powerful being, you are so negligent. Do you think this sentence can be justified?"
"Bailiff, summon Skrull witness!"
At this time, several green-skinned goblins Skrulls were brought into the Congress hall, and one of them said loudly:
"She is just a selfish person! We Skrulls originally just wanted to find a stable home. She kept promising to help, but what happened? So many years have passed, but there has been no news. We had no choice but to occupy the earth!"
These words were like sparks, instantly igniting Carol's emotions, and she said excitedly:
"I have been working hard to help you find your home. The situation in the universe is complicated and it is not easy to find a suitable planet! How can you say that?"
When Stern saw this, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he was secretly happy. It seemed that this Carol had already broken through some of his defenses.
This is exactly one of his tasks. As long as he can arouse her emotions, the more difficult problems that follow will naturally be more difficult for her to deal with.
"It seems that Ms. Dan Vers, you are very excited. However, fortunately, our earth has the omnipotent supreme god--Master Lucifer, who saw through the conspiracy of these aliens!"
Stern deliberately raised his voice in an attempt to further suppress Carol and at the same time incite public sentiment.
"In contrast, you have been spending your energy on aliens. When have you ever taken care of the earth's troubles?"
Carol was anxious and hurriedly explained:
"I was born and raised here, and the earth is my hometown. How could I not care about the earth? It is just a vulnerable group in the universe, and the earth's civilization is not the only one. Of course, I have to prioritize based on the actual situation."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of whispering in the Congress hall, and some audience members already realized that something was wrong.
Her position does not seem to be entirely earth-centered!
Stern raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a smile of success, and continued to ask:
"You keep saying you care about the earth? Okay, then let me ask you, we got news that Master Lucifer once invited you to serve as the pioneer officer of Earth Federation to help our human civilization develop in the universe, but you directly refused. Is this true?"
Carol felt nervous, hesitated for a moment, and then said bravely:
"This... these are acts of cosmic aggression. Of course I can't agree to it."
"No matter which side in the universe it is, as long as it is an invasion, I will do my best to stop it, and of course I will not be an accomplice of the invasion!"
Stern sneered, seizing the opportunity and pressing forward step by step:
"So, where were you when Chitauri and Kree invaded the earth?"
Carol was immediately speechless, a trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across his face.
She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Stern was not willing to let this opportunity go and continued to ask:
"According to information, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Nick Fury, had already sent you a request for help before the alien invasion. Where are you?"
Carol felt panicked and stammered:
"I... I was in other galaxies at the time, and it will take time to get back."
Stern laughed mockingly:
"Look, when the earth was invaded, you kept saying you wanted to stop it, but no one was there. When we planned to fight back against the aliens, you showed up again. Not only did you not help us, did you also plan to stop us?"
Carol was silent, she did not answer, but her expression at the moment said everything.
If she still had the power of Skyfather-level at this moment, she might really be able to prevent the people on Earth from fighting back.
There were many discerning people in the audience. They immediately understood Carol's thoughts and became extremely angry.
"Asshole, she didn't come when we were beaten, but when we were about to fight back, she still wanted to come out and break up the fight?"
"This kind of person deserves the most punishment. He doesn't know the difference between right and wrong!"
"The one who breaks up the fight first!"
Stern looked at the effect with satisfaction, felt that the heat was almost done, and continued:
"In this case, now you are summoning your friends Maria·Rambo. According to the data, she was also one of the parties involved at the time. Let's hear what she has to say."
Hearing Maria's name, Carol's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart.
After a while, Maria slowly walked forward. Her steps were slightly heavy, and every step seemed to carry endless entanglement and helplessness.
She looked at Carol, her eyes full of complicated expressions, including guilt, helplessness, and a hint of fear.
You know, she was not less involved in what happened back then.
Taken together, these actions include not reporting any knowledge of the invading aliens, and even providing shelter for the aliens to live in.
Strictly speaking, it can be called a betrayal of humanity.
Therefore, the exchange condition given by Stern is that as long as Maria is willing to testify against Carol, their family's crimes will not be investigated.
This family even includes her daughter, Monica Rambo.
Who knew that her daughter was also involved in these things?
Stern looked at Maria with a confident look on his face and asked:
"Ms. Rambo, as far as you know, what is Carol's attitude towards the earth in these years?"
Maria took a deep breath and his lips trembled slightly.
She knew that her next words would completely change Carol's Destiny, and would also plunge herself into endless self-blame.
But for the sake of her family, she had no choice.
"Carol has always been obsessed with affairs in the universe. Although we are good friends, she has rarely returned to Earth in recent years. She does not seem to care about many things that happen on Earth."
Carol looked at Maria in disbelief and said:
"Maria, how can you say that? I..."
Stern interrupted her:
"That's enough! Ms. Dan Vers, in the face of these ironclad facts, what else do you have to say? You ignored the earth and allowed Skrulls to endanger the earth. Even your friends, who were insiders back then, said so of you!"
Carol stood there, her face pale, and she tried to defend herself again.
But suddenly I found that my voice seemed so weak amidst the scolding.
All the expectations she had for her now turned into anger and contempt.
In front of the TV, countless people watched the live broadcast and joined the ranks of denouncing Carol.
Social media was instantly flooded with criticism of Carol, with all kinds of unpleasant words overwhelming.
Carol feels as if he is in the center of the storm, isolated from the whole world.
