This time the emperor came to New York and had three things to do.
The first thing is to use the relationship she has built before to prevent the New York Immigration Bureau from troublesome a woman named Valeria and her family. This matter does not require Stephanie to do it, nor does it require the use of a spy network.
All it took was a phone call to Wilson Fisk, the leader of the New York gang; the second thing was to have dinner with the children at the Mount Athena Orphanage, the last time he did this was four years ago.
Although Athena will not mistreat these children in terms of food, and the income from galleries and art exhibitions is enough to keep them healthy, she will not waste some of the more scarce and precious ingredients on these children. This time it is still the emperor himself
While cooking, introduce the kids to Stephanie Malik, because the brightest among these kids may one day work for her.
The third thing is to wait until he sees Athena.
Stephanie Malick obviously wasn't used to this relatively simple dining environment, but for the sake of the emperor, she still had to pretend to be very happy, and even had to pick up a napkin and give it to someone with food all over their face.
The Sauce kid wiped her face in an attempt to show compassion—a job that ended up being taken over by other older kids because they thought Stephanie Malik was so clumsy. Every time she wiped her face,
There was a rough red mark on each child's face, and cries kept coming everywhere he went. Compared to Stephanie, who was feeling uncomfortable, the emperor, who was sitting at the main seat of the long brown and black project table, seemed quite relaxed.
He was eating calmly in the environment, while listening with a smile as the leaders of the boys and girls on both sides reported to him what had happened during this period, including the no-rules basketball game held by the older children some time ago.
The so-called no rules actually have rules, but there are fewer foul penalties than regular basketball games. Due to the long-term martial spirit, some girls are more interested in violent confrontation than chasing the ball. Lorna Dane relied on her adolescent skills.
With developmental advantages and outstanding martial arts, he broke two ribs and gained unquestionable possession of the ball on the court. Violent conflicts are not something that needs to be avoided or corrected in the Mount Athena Orphanage. Due to the overly advanced medical technology
, limited violence is encouraged behavior to a certain extent. However, it must be subject to proper guidance. It is impossible to actually fight to the death with knives and guns, and you may even suffer extremely serious punishments.
Regardless of whether these children ultimately want to stay, the most basic military training (basic for the soldiers of the First Secret Regiment) and the most basic close combat skills (basic for the sororities) will benefit them throughout their lives, while also providing
Solve many management problems. After all, neither Athena herself nor the emperor has time to solve the little troubles between the children.
Everyone was happy except the unlucky guy who was carried into the infirmary.
"You can have a glass of wine," he said to Lorna Dane, "but only one."
"Can I choose what I want to drink?" Lorna raised her eyebrows, "If possible, give me a glass of brandy."
"Only wine." The emperor picked up the wine bottle at hand and poured her a glass of wine. Then he looked at the others. He raised the thin wine glass to show the older children that, as the undisputed king of children,
, and the tallest and strongest guy in the room, the noisy environment instantly became quiet. As usual, he had to give a toast. "If you also want to drink, then win the game next time. Now it's already
Someone proves it, and then it's your turn. Cheers, to Lorna Dane's victory."
"For two ribs," one boy added.
"And my arms." Another boy joined in, "My hands are still hurting now!"
"Shut up! Now it's time to celebrate my victory!" Lorna Dane blushed and shouted towards the other side of the long table.
After the show was over, Stephanie Malick moved a chair, sat generously next to the emperor, and took out a data tablet and placed it in front of him. Little Lorna failed to hear the whisper between the emperor and this woman.
Communication, her intuition told her that there must be nothing good going on, because the exchange of pointing at the information on the data board contained vicious and terrifying words such as "kill them all" and "no compromise". Her patience was obvious.
She was not allowed to ignore such information, so she stared at Stephanie Malik while eating, trying to seize the opportunity to find clues that would allow her to understand the situation, until the emperor raised his eyes from the conversation and stretched out his hand to say hello
She does it by her own side.
The former immediately rushed over, leaving the rickety chair behind.
"A terrorist attack." He said to little Lorna in a calm tone. "Through the footage captured by the drone and facial recognition, we have confirmed that there are members of extremist religious organizations and internationally wanted criminals on the other side. These people are targeting Lato.
Vinya was very dissatisfied with the policies implemented and planned to retaliate. The intelligence agency found the communication records between them. They originally planned to sneak into the Royal City and use car bombs to attack government agencies, but due to the work of the coast patrol and the navy fleet, the cargo ship they used to stow away was
They were blocked by us on the high seas, and besides the smugglers on the boat were Syrian refugees."
"My lord, can we really let her know?"
"Lorna is not a child, she can accept this kind of thing." The emperor's behavior still maintained the unhurried eating speed and elegant manner. His words made Lorna Dayne raise her head proudly. "We don't plan to
When negotiating with terrorists, their only outcome is death." The emperor said, "Although it was just an emergency, I believe there must be many people above that sea area watching."
Victoria Hand's Defense Intelligence Department quickly found out the identities and experiences of the terrorists, many of whom had been arrested in a war. Although the official statement was that they had escaped from prison, those old S.H.I.E.L.D. agents did not
They would believe this kind of nonsense. They have seen a lot of similar tricks. Unarmed ordinary people would not be able to escape from the military base or interrogation room.
It can be seen from the virtual currency accounts used in the mobile phones of these armed personnel that they must have someone secretly supporting them. The defense intelligence department only traced a private server located in a bunker during World War II in Germany and several prepaid mobile phones used in Sweden.
.The investigation takes time. While supporting Steve Rogers' special operations team, the Defense Intelligence Department is screening surveillance near the location where prepaid mobile phones are used to find suspicious persons or recorded intelligence personnel. This is
The workload is very large. Although Victoria Hand is recruiting new members according to the process, it also takes time.
What the emperor lacks most now is time.
"You also sent Captain America?" Little Lorna clicked the screen in surprise. The real-time communication marked the basic information of the combatants. At this moment, there were several light spots on the sea crowded with Steve Rogers. It seemed that they were planning to
Use a kayak to approach the cargo ship and then dive to make a surprise attack. Although there is no real-time picture of the combat recorder, there is only a three-dimensional model calculated in real time using contours, models, hydrological information and other data, but it is much clearer and more intuitive than watching it directly with the naked eye. "
There is no way this kind of mission can fail!" She said, "Even if there are no superheroes, aren't the ones you are sending out still special forces?"
"I'm not that optimistic, girl." Lorna Dane's youthful atmosphere made Stephanie Malick frown. The emperor's choice of wine for her meal was not wine, but Irish red ale, perhaps in his opinion
, ordinary people cannot drink wine as water like him. "Steve Rogers is a human being, and special operations military police are also human beings. People make mistakes, and we need to prepare emergency measures to deal with the worst situations."
"What emergency measures?"
"Shipwreck." Stephanie Malik answered without hesitation, "There are tourist attractions nearby, so the small freighter will not sink at its current location. We will erase all traces and interfere with all skies over Latvinia.
spy satellite, and now the Tianjian Space Station has begun to take action."
