"The mad scientist who transformed himself into Mutants?"
Howard crossed her legs and asked with interest.
He is not only the manager of Laboratory One, but also the nominal scientific research consultant of S.H.I.E.L.D..
If there are any major issues that are difficult to decide, Howard has the right to vote - provided that Luke and Carter are not present.
"I remember you told a story about him. Just like the little dwarf Laboratory Three, Sebastian-Xiao is also obsessed with Mutants's genes."
The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. knows that Howard and Bolivar are not easy to deal with.
The former feels that Bolivar is not only a dwarf in stature, but also not much better in terms of knowledge.
The latter believes that Howard has nothing but strong hormones and dirty thoughts in his head.
Every time they meet, they have to be tit-for-tat, full of gunpowder.
Originally Luke wanted to reconcile, but considering that this would help stimulate the two people's sense of competition, he gave up his original idea.
"What If...?, who calls himself Atlantis King, Lord of the Seven Seas - would anyone really give themselves such a long list of nicknames? It's almost as good as a restaurant menu."
Feeling Carter's cold eyes, Howard shrank his neck and realized that now was not the time to be clever or show humor.
He coughed twice, glared at the gloating Luke, and continued, "Namor-McKenzie is Mutants, just give him a shot of Leech Serum."
"It's not that simple. Howard, don't you understand yet? This is a diplomatic incident."
Carter frowned, thinking about what to do.
"Atlantis is an undersea civilization that humans have never come into contact with and do not know about. Before Namor appeared, people had only heard of this name from the "Dialogue" of Plato and the legend of God Poseidon."
"But now? It appears as a country and a civilization. This means that no matter what decision S.H.I.E.L.D. makes, it must be careful and think twice."
"Congress, White House, the Pentagon... No one wants a war now. So negotiation, contact, establishing connections, this is what we have to do."
Carter is indeed a commander, and his perspective on analyzing problems is very thorough.
Luke thought about it for a while. If the tape of Namor's threatening speech flows into White House, the president should call himself at this time.
After all, the other party specifically mentioned S.H.I.E.L.D. and his own name.
A few minutes later, as he expected.
"General, this is a call from White House."
The phone on the table rang. Stryker picked up the phone, covered it with his hand and said, "The president wants to see you."
Luke, who guessed it, said with a relaxed expression, "I will go to White House in half an hour."
Respond to inquiries from the President and Congress at any time.
The most important issue is to find the whereabouts of Namor and stop the other party's crazy behavior that may flood New York.
Sorcerer Supreme may not take action. The death of millions of New York may not cause any psychological fluctuations to the Ancient One.
Kamar-Taj will always remain a neutral bystander.
Black Death ravaged Europe, World War I killed tens of millions of people, Third Reich made a comeback, World War II...
If we want to prevent these disasters and wars that have occurred in human history, Sorcerer Supreme can make them disappear.
"Before, I asked X-Force to search for the whereabouts of Hellfire Club. Do you have any clues?"
Luke asked.
"Not yet, but... I think Silver Fox might know something."
Silver Fox Kayla is a member of Mutants recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D.. She and White Queen Emma of Hellfire Club are sisters. Luke has known this for a long time and informed Carter.
"Then use her as a breakthrough."
Luke thought about it for a while, and if it didn't work out, he exchanged it for a piece of Constantine's "Master of Bluffs" and forced a conversation.
He was very sure that the reason why Namor stood up, spoke up for Mutants inexplicably, and was also preparing to flood New York.
All of this is definitely promoted secretly by someone!
Sebastian-Xiao is the first suspect!
Conqueror Kang is also possible - but according to this guy's style of doing things and his usual routine, he is impersonating a certain historical celebrity or national leader.
The back-and-forth is very controversial, and it also involves Mutants. No matter how you look at it, Sebastian-Xiao is more likely to be suspected.
"Let's break up now. I will deal with the president. As for Namor-McKenzie, I will also find a way to find him."
Luke waved his hand and smiled confidently.
As Director, he behaves calmly and calmly, and the people under his command will not be under pressure.
"Namor...Atlantis's home base is Atlantic Ocean."
Luke recalled the information in his mind. He remembered that the guy had a "Sacred Trident of Neptune", which was the symbol of Atlantis's royal power.
Can control the sea, stir up wind and waves, create tsunamis, and release electricity!
It can be said to be an artifact-level weapon.
Together with "Proteus Horn" that summons sea creatures, Namor's overall combat power should be ranked among the top ten on earth - those superheroes are either not born or have not grown up.
"Take it one step at a time. Anyway, with Namor's character, it's impossible to hide."
After Luke finalized the rough plan, he got up and flew to White House.
Different from the image of Aquaman on the set next door, Marvel is more like a villain, with a moody personality and great mood swings.
To sum up, he is a chuunibyou who is easily led by others.
White House, lawn.
The tall figure fell quickly like a cannonball.
Boom.
When landing, Luke turned on Bio-Force Field, which caused no other damage except for making some noise.
"General Cahill, the president is waiting for you in the office."
The security director of White House has become accustomed to the way Luke appears.
For this young major general, the no-fly zone is in vain, and no one can stop him anyway.
Many old-school generals who have opinions on this only dare to talk a few words behind their backs and remain Hush in person.
A few minutes later, Luke walked into Oval Office and saw the president with a solemn expression.
"Rear Admiral Cavill, do you have anything to say about Atlantis, and that... Mutants who caused the tsunami?"
The president took off his glasses, pinched his nose, and said a little tiredly, "The Pentagon side is going crazy. Admiral Bullock and Admiral Richardson of the naval system have called. The two aircraft carriers of Atlantic Ocean were attacked separately. Fortunately, there were no casualties."
"Mr. Edgar Hoover from FBI played me a tape a few hours ago. In it, there is a Mutants named Namor-McKenzie. He admitted that he did all this, and also threatened us, saying that he would flood New York - if we don't do what he said!"
The president looked at the expressionless Luke and asked in a deep voice, "Major General, I could have spent a pleasant weekend having dinner with my wife and daughter, but now I have to face all this trouble. I hope you can give a satisfactory answer."
"The President is blaming me?"
Luke raised his head slightly and asked calmly.
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in Oval Office suddenly became solemn.
The staff member sitting on the side had his throat rolled and swallowed.
He was not sure whether he could protect the President if Rear Admiral Cavill got violent and took action.
