"Since you want to see it so much, then go ahead." Yasha shrugged and took off his mask, revealing his face with a layer of skin peeling off and full of pits.
"This..." The three officials fell silent. They had to admit that they were really frightened. The true appearance of Yasha was ten times more terrifying than the Yasha mask he was wearing.
"Would you like to spend dinner with me again and get to know each other."
Yasha threw a seductive look at the officials, and the rotten flesh on his face squirmed. The Risang officials tried hard to hold back their nausea. "Okay, you can go now, but before you go, you should put on your mask first."
"How boring." Yaksha grumbled, and just as he was about to put on the mask, a cell phone rang in his pocket.
In front of the official, Yasha took out his personal cell phone and answered the call. He was silent for a while, then hung up the phone with a serious face and sighed, "It seems that I can't take on that job anymore."
"What do you mean?" The three officials were stunned.
"There's nothing I can do. My superiors have said that I should go back." Yaksha also felt helpless.
"The boss? Don't you have no organization?" An official had a bad feeling.
"Who said I don't have it? You just don't know it." Yasha was about to walk to the door, but he remembered the boss above. He seemed to dislike Risang very much, especially the Risang royal family and senior management -
He reached for the knife on his back and turned to the Risang officials, "Excuse me, three of you."
…
After receiving the envelope, new and old card players from all over the world, no matter whether they were originally kings, popes, officials, killers, or organization bosses, gave up their current identities without hesitation and went to the agreed place of that year with their own families or forces.
After playing games for too long, the Carl family finally had their first big gathering.
Chapter 609: Crisis of the Avengers
Three months later.
Three months have passed since the Battle of Sokovia. Everything has settled down and the world seems to have returned to the long-lost tranquility and peace.
But no one can tell whether this is a signal of continued peace or the eve of a coming storm.
Beneath the world, undercurrents are still surging.
During this period of time.
Kyle officially declared the founding of his country, left the United States, and completely evacuated New York City with the Unnatural Office, leaving only an empty building to maintain business. No one knew where his country was built and where it was going.
The Avengers have added new members, namely Scarlet Witch Wanda, Quicksilver Peele, and Vision Ultron. Their overall combat power has been greatly improved, and the fight against crime has become more efficient and effective.
So far, the Avengers has more than two dozen members, including Captain America Steve, Iron Man Tony, Black Widow Natasha, Hawkeye Clinton, Falcon Sam, and the newly joined twins and Vision.
Members who appear from time to time and leave from time to time include Toxic Agent Eddie and Thor, while other members who are missing include Superman Caesar and the Hulk, as well as Kyle, a special existence with a name only.
But an unavoidable pressure is coming towards the Avengers.
…
Stark Industries, World's Fair.
Tony, who seemed to have walked out of the shadow of Ultron's failure, stood alone on the podium in a bright and beautiful suit, facing hundreds of college students from prestigious universities below the stage, explaining the cross-century scientific product of Ergo.
The second structure is the technology researched and invented by Mysterio. After Mysterio's death, the patent of this technology returned to Stark Industries.
After explaining the second structure, Tony announced publicly on the stage that a new fund would be established and a large amount of money would be invested to encourage society to create and invent future technologies.
The announcement of this major news immediately set off the entire venue, and the audience below never stopped cheering.
At the very end, Tony stood under the spotlight, looking at the excited audience below, and blurted out a sentence: "For the future, don't be afraid of failure!"
After finishing speaking, Tony left the podium looking handsome and cool, but in fact a little embarrassed.
Yes, he inspired the whole world not to be afraid of failure and to look to the future, but he himself was still timid about his last failure. In countless dark nights, he was still blaming himself for the mistakes he had made.
A huge mistake that indirectly led to the deaths of more than a thousand people.
Tony ran away. He was not wearing the Iron Man suit. He hurriedly left the podium alone, got rid of the reporters who were interviewing him, and came to the backstage in the dead of night.
As Tony arrived at the elevator door, a woman who had been waiting there for a long time looked at him expressionlessly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Stark."
"Who are you?" Tony looked at her in surprise.
"I'm nobody, just a mother." The woman said as she took out a tablet from her bag. The screen was still on, and the cover showed a young man in his prime. "That's my son, Danny. He's only 22 years old. Three months ago, he was doing an internship in Sokovia."
"Remember, you killed him." Danny's mother stated the fact coldly and turned away.
Tony looked at Danny's mother's back, then looked at Danny on the tablet, and fell into silence and self-blame for a long time.
The top floor lobby of the restored Avengers Building.
Steve, Natasha, Sam, Vision, Wanda and the Peele twins, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the sofa in the hall, watching the breaking news on TV.
On TV news, Charka, the current king of Wakanda, as the representative of the United Nations, openly questioned the actions of the Avengers to the world.
"I dare say that the Battle of Sokovia was by no means the beginning of their reckless actions, but only the last straw that broke the camel's back. This brutal internal fighting has completely exposed the dark side of the Avengers. They claim to stop criminals, but they act recklessly and without any rules."
In front of the camera and microphone, Charka's elderly face was full of seriousness, and he criticized righteously: "Look carefully at the threats and damage they have caused to the world, they are not much worse than those who commit crimes. Those who call themselves superheroes act above international law and win at the expense of innocent people..."
Steve picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. No one spoke in the hall and everyone was feeling apologetic.
Steve glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I know this is something we have to go through. If not now, then in the future, we will eventually be questioned by the world."
Others remained silent, not knowing what to say.
"If we can't hold on to our convictions, we will surely fall apart." Steve frowned and asked in surprise, "Where's Clinton? Why haven't I seen him recently?"
Natasha replied: "Hawkeye said he was tired and wanted to spend more time taking care of his wife and children. He won't be here for a while, and as for the future... it's hard to say."
"Yeah. It's not good to live a good life. What are we doing now?" Sam lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
The Avengers are an illegal organization, a group of talented people who stand up to protect the world and are willing to fight all the way to the end.
Unfortunately, now even the world is not on their side, and people reject and question their actions. If they continue to fight alone, they will lose the reputation and praise they deserve.
"If any of you want to quit and leave, I won't stop you, but I will stay until the end. I want to keep fighting, and Kyle should think so too." Steve was firm and resolute. He had experienced too many battles and understood what was most important.
"Captain." Natasha reminded softly, "The Secretary of State will come over tonight to discuss and talk with our Avengers."
"Yeah. I see." Steve thought for a moment and said, "Call Tony back. After all, the Avengers is his hard work. No matter what they face or what decisions they make, he should be there."
"Okay, I'll contact him later."
Natasha nodded and looked at the twins: "You two haven't been back to the Karl family for three months, right?"
Wanda and Pierre looked at each other and shook their heads, saying, "In fact, we have temporarily lost contact with the Carl family. They seem to be renovating the base. I don't know the specific details."
