The building of Tivan Group is the most conspicuous landmark building of Knowhere.
Standing on the observation deck on the top floor, you can overlook the entire area and have a panoramic view of everything.
Luke Shi Shiran sat on the sofa and poured a cup of plant drink for Captain Marvel, who had a complicated expression and had not yet fully digested those memories.
"You may not be able to accept the facts for a while, and that's normal."
Like a young psychiatrist, he began to provide speech therapy to Carol.
"The human body has a certain emergency mechanism. Once the spirit is strongly stimulated, it will automatically activate. Sometimes not wanting to believe the truth is also one of the protective measures."
Captain Marvel was secretly controlled mentally by Supreme Intelligence of the Kree Empire using efficient brainwashing methods.
Although, Luke used Super Kryptonian's Mind Stone ability to awaken the past memories hidden deep in Carol's mind.
However, because she has been instilled in her for a long time the concept that Kree Empire interests are above all else, she is always ready to sacrifice for it.
It is equivalent to a thought-transformation operation. It has already changed into the shape of Supreme Intelligence, and it is impossible to return to its original shape immediately.
This requires some time for psychological recovery.
"I know my real name and everything that happened, but... when you get out of that carefully crafted despicable lie and see the real world, you still feel very uncomfortable."
Captain Marvel picked up the cup of plant drink and took a sip.
It tastes bitter, but refreshing.
"Once you've been deceived once, it's hard to trust others again."
Luke spoke slowly and continued, "For the same reason, the reason why you subconsciously doubt that everything in front of you may be false."
"It's because of Yong-Rogg and Supreme Intelligence that caused you great psychological trauma and psychological shadow."
Carol nodded in agreement.
Whenever she thinks of Yong-Rogg, whom she respects in her heart, he is actually a complete hypocrite.
You can't help but feel some physical discomfort and nausea.
"What are you going to do with them?"
Luke noticed this and took the initiative to change the topic.
"Behind Yong-Rogg is Kree Empire..."
Carol reminded tactfully.
After all, she also stayed on planet Hala for a long time.
He is well aware of the military strength of the Kree Empire.
"That's not important. My men severely repaired Ronan the Accuser not long ago. Compared to the Kree Empire's consul, Yong-Rogg is just a nobody."
Luke waved his hand with a relaxed expression, obviously not taking Kree Empire seriously.
Frankly speaking, he even hoped to see Supreme Intelligence become angry and start a war.
In this way, it is out of self-defense.
Superman can blow up Space Fleet with his bare hands, break into the planet Hala single-handedly, and then dismantle the computer integrated with Kree Supreme Intelligence into parts.
Of course, in theory.
Luke You don't need any reason to do things.
But he cares about his reputation and doesn't want to become the next Mad Titan Thanos.
As long as everyone follows the rules, it's no big deal to sit down at the poker table and play.
"Forget it, let's let them go."
Carol still has concerns.
In her inherent knowledge, Kree Empire's military strength is extremely strong.
It would be unwise to provoke such a behemoth in order to take revenge on Yon-Rogg.
"This is your private matter, so you have the final say."
Luke nodded in agreement. There was never a need to explain the word powerful by oneself.
In the future, Carol will understand sooner or later.
Single Entity Level What kind of terrifying existence other individuals are.
A mere Kree Empire is nothing at all.
"What are you going to do next?"
Luke's eyes flashed, throwing out new questions.
"I don't know. I only found out a few hours ago that I came from Earth, and that the Mentor, who trained me, is actually an insidious liar... The false life that Supreme Intelligence created for me has been denied, but my original life has also been destroyed."
Carol put down the plant drink in his hand, looked at Superman, bit his lip and asked, "Is there any wine here?"
Luke hit the Snap, and like magic, he pulled out a bottle of whiskey from the earth.
"Authentic hometown flavor."
With a wave of his right hand, the wine cabinet opened automatically and two wine glasses flew out.
"Can you have a drink with me?"
Carol is not in a good mental state and urgently needs the help of alcohol.
"It's an honor."
Luke is very gentlemanly.
Earth.
S.H.I.E.L.D..
Peggy, who was charming and had the same appearance, stepped on high heels, opened the door with a bang and walked into Howard-Stark's office.
The huge sound alerted the staff on the entire floor.
They glanced in the direction of Howard-Stark's office for a few times, then put away their curiosity and lowered their heads to do their own things.
"Please tell me, what is going on?"
She slammed a pile of documents on the table with a sharp tone, not giving any face to this old friend who had known her for many years.
"Why did S.H.I.E.L.D. approve two-thirds of the large amount of funding for the four laboratories under your name, disappear for no reason? It was not used for any research-related work, but was transferred to other accounts."
Peggy was furious and asked questions repeatedly.
When she saw this report, she could hardly believe her eyes.
The four laboratories directly under the jurisdiction of Howard-Stark have committed extremely egregious misappropriation of funds.
And after her detailed investigation, she found that more than that, the embezzled funds eventually flowed into an unnamed overseas company.
Continuing to dig deeper, it is obvious that the trading company is just a front, and privately has financial transactions and transfer records with many Senators in Congress.
Following this line, Peggy even found Stark Industries.
She discovered that Howard had recently spent huge sums of money to purchase more than twenty small and medium-sized security companies that were unknown in the industry, despite the strong opposition of the board of directors.
"In the name of S.H.I.E.L.D., you spend money to bribe members of Congress, promote the expansion of overseas military bases, and then send researchers to conduct human experiments on those disabled soldiers... Howard, you are committing a crime!"
Peggy crossed his arms and glared at Howard-Stark who was sitting behind the desk.
After the other party came back from Wakanda, his behavior became a little weird.
Although he looks exactly the same, he feels like a different person.
"This is an agreement reached between White House and I. The President needs Stark Industries to provide the military with more powerful 'weapons', not missiles or firearms, but living super soldiers."
Howard said lightly with a smile on his face.
"Illegal human experiments, as well as integrating those security companies and reorganizing them into a military industrial enterprise directly responsible for the Pentagon... These are all the intentions of the upper management."
Peggy's beautiful eyebrows were knitted together, and the look he looked at Howard was even more unfamiliar.
She simply could not imagine that the other party would say these words in a matter-of-fact tone.
"What do you mean by the superior? I am your superior!"
Peggy said coldly.
"Times have changed, Carter."
Howard stood up, put his hands on the desk, and said softly, "White House has long been dissatisfied with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s excessive power and interference. World Security Council can't stand the huge budget allocated every year."
"There are no enemies in this world! Hydra has long been under the rule of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Those damn Mutants, they are all staying at school, or participating in talent shows or variety shows on TV."
"World peace, the purpose of our shield has been questioned."
Howard stared at the female commander standing in front of him and said calmly, "I have received some news. If S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to maintain an arrogant attitude and ignores White House and World Security Council's orders, it will soon be declared disbanded."
"That's why I secretly reached an agreement with the President, and even showed favor to the Pentagon, in order to keep S.H.I.E.L.D. and consolidate my position."
Peggy tried his best to remain patient and listened to Howard's eloquent speech.
She was silent for a moment, said "take care of yourself", then turned and left.
"Ha, childish woman."
Howard pulled off his tie and sneered.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but there was a hint of green under his normal face.
