Victoria Hand slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, shouting angrily, "I disagree!"
The others in the Temporary Operations Conference Room also stood up one after another.
" Iron Hand " Victor Sanchez crossed his arms. "I disagree too!"
Echo Alina Volonkova, raised her hand. "I disagree too!"
' Ghost ' Marcus Lane leaned back in his chair, lazily crossing his legs. "I second that!"
Mothership Robert Gonzales of the Illidan slammed his cane on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Seconded!"
Strategic Coordinator Anna Weaver adjusted her glasses. "I second that!"
Phil Coulson shrugged with a wry smile and remained silent.
Hearing the chorus of objections filling the room, Nick Fury's dark face instantly turned a deep purplish-red. Clutching his wounded side, he sneered, "Disagree? Oppose? Heh heh heh, what good will your objections do?"
Then he began frantically spitting ' Venom ' at everyone present: 'Back in S.H.I.E.L.D.., I was the one who signed off on the final agreement...'
"Now, in this Rat Prison, it's Richard who's in charge..."
"As for you, hmph, it will never be your turn, you bunch of trash!"
Victoria Hand said coldly, " Nick Fury, no matter how eloquent you are, I will never agree to let you lead us... Your credibility is already bankrupt!"
Sitting silently in her seat, the Cyber Warfare Expert, ' Shadow Net ' Park Min-jung, suddenly raised her hand and said, "Um, everyone~ I've already reported the situation here to White Queen..."
A strange smile played on her lips as she scanned the scene, "Just now, Her White Queen Queen's final instructions were issued..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a holographic projection shone down from the ceiling.
The White Queen figure's face was tense, clearly showing her displeasure.
With her hands on her hips, she launched into a tirade like a fiery Pepper Potts: "You bunch of bastards, can't you be a little more reliable at doing things?! Huh?!"
Victoria Hand hurriedly explained, " White Queen Majesty, Nick Fury, he..."
The White Queen's projection suddenly turned around, pointed at her, and snapped, "Shut up!"
Victoria Hand opened her mouth, but dared not make a sound.
But her flushed face also revealed that she was extremely unhappy at that moment...
The White Queen's projection glared at her and said, " Victoria Hand, Level 8 S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent., Hub Headquarters Director..."
"I understand what you're thinking, but I can inform you now..."
"The integration of S.H.I.E.L.D..'s forces is complete. You former S.H.I.E.L.D.. officials will not... and it is impossible for you to return to work at S.H.I.E.L.D..!"
The expressions on everyone's faces immediately changed.
Isaiah Banks, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Logistics Support Director at S. H. I. E. L. D., the manager of the Hala ' Ark Warehouse,' and African Logistics Allocation Genius had remained silent and never offered any opinions or suggestions, could no longer sit still.
He hurriedly stood up and said, "Lady White... White Queen, may I ask what aspect of affairs I will be responsible for in the future?"
The White Queen's projection turned to look at Isaiah Banks, her eyes widening suddenly. " Isaiah Banks?! What are you still doing here?!"
Isaiah Banks stared wide-eyed, his charcoal-black face filled with astonishment and confusion. "I... I'm not here, where should I be?"
The White Queen's projection slapped its forehead. "Oh no! I completely forgot!"
"I'm so sorry, I've been... I've been very busy these past few days and forgot to issue the appointment..."
Isaiah Banks hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, the White Queen Queen's matter is more important!"
The White Queen's projection eyes lit up, and she praised with satisfaction, "You're on the right track, brother!"
"Ahem~" She coughed lightly, then suddenly straightened her face. " Isaiah Banks! On behalf of the great Lord of Crimson, I officially appoint you as the head of the Red Order Logistics Department 1. I will arrange for someone to take you away from the Rat Prison to the Red Guard Base in Sokovia to take up your post!"
"The Scarlet... Lord of Crimson? The Red Order?!" Isaiah Banks was somewhat bewildered.
"Huh?" The White Queen's projection froze, startled, and flickered a few times. "You don't even know the Lord of Crimson?"
Isaiah Banks shrank back and muttered, "Well, nobody told me either..."
"Sigh~" The White Queen's projection sighed, hands on her hips, and said, "So, you guys don't know either?"
The others present looked at each other and shook their heads.
Only Nick Fury and Phil Coulson harbored some vague suspicions...
"Hmph~" The White Queen projection muttered with a stern face, "That bald kid Thomas isn't doing a bad job as Warden ~"
"Ahem, listen up, all of you! The great Lord of Crimson is none other than the Sorcerer Richard. Under his wise and mighty leadership, the two major powers on Earth, HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D.., have been incorporated into the Red Order."
"From now on, you will serve the great Lord of Crimson and his Red Order!"
Lord of Crimson... The Red Order...
Nick Fury's expression was incredibly complex, a mixture of shock, relief, disappointment, and regret...
All these emotions finally culminated in a long sigh, "Ah..."
No wonder Carol Danvers failed; our enemy is a living Deity walking in the mortal realm...
Victoria Hand gaped, speechless with shock.
Just how many identities does Richard have?!
First, a genius Surgeon...
Then it was revealed that he was a powerful Mage...
Now you're telling me he's a living Deity...
Ignoring the stunned and emotionally charged crowd, the White Queen's projection stated bluntly, " Nick Fury was recruited by the great Lord of Crimson specifically to target the Skrulls on Earth..."
"I am now appointing him as an advisor to the Temporary Operations Conference Room; he will be in charge of all intelligence work related to the Skrulls."
At this point, she glanced at Victoria Hand: "Ms. Victoria Hand, the Temporary Operations Conference Room has no leader, never has, and never will..."
"Furthermore, your eligibility to leave the Rat Prison will be assessed by a specialist..."
"So, those who still want to leave through here had better stop trying anything funny and focus on completing the tasks assigned to them – that's the right way out!"
Victoria Hand's face paled upon hearing this. She lowered her head unwillingly and whispered, "Yes, White Queen Majesty, I understand."
"No wonder Strucker looks down on you..." The White Queen's projection chuckled and shook her head, "You're not lacking in ability, but you've been in power for too long, and you've become lost in the scheming of power struggles!"
"By serving as your advisors and consultants, you are contributing to the peace of the Earth."
After saying that, the projection disappeared.
Victoria Hand slumped into her office chair, staring blankly at the ground.
Victor Sanchez suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.
'Smack!'
"A Tactical Action Commander leaves his combat troops, what kind of commander is he?!"
After Victor finished his tirade, he got up and left.
Isaiah Banks scratched his head, carefully got up, and quietly tried to slip out of the meeting room.
Suddenly, a Crimson Portal opened, and a Crimson Believer dressed in a black Combat Mage outfit with red patterns stepped out.
