The Father of American Comics Superheroes

Chapter 158: Countdown

Views:

Time passed little by little, and the kidnapping case that attracted worldwide attention was still going on. The president's wife and daughter were still not rescued, which meant that the time for the show was getting closer and closer.

Some people are sad about it, some are angry about it, but there are also many people who are excited about it and looking forward to it...

It's a tragedy, but not everyone sees it that way.

The kidnapper is a genius, but he will not disappear into this world out of thin air.

Under this terrifying search intensity, clues were finally caught.

Unfortunately, it was a trap, a trap deliberately left by the kidnappers, and this trap delayed a lot of time.

In the following hours, several more locations were found, but all were smoke bombs thrown by the kidnappers.

The president became more and more impatient. He even felt that his soul was floating out of his body. He felt that the whole world was beginning to distort and he had turned into a puppet.

The venue for the live broadcast is ready, but this is the worst plan and his last chance.

At the same time, the night that was supposed to celebrate the arrival of Christmas became extremely quiet.

One after another, the streets that should have been extremely lively tonight were deserted at this moment. Except for the occasional few children running by, everyone was in front of the TV.

This year’s Christmas Eve is destined to be unusual.

The five-minute countdown began, and the president walked into the studio with a cold sweat on his face and under the gaze of pairs of eyes.

Everything is ready.

His partner was also sedated and cleaned up to ensure no harm was done to him.

The photographer is already in place and the live broadcast equipment is turned on.

He also began to prepare.

Wife, daughter, plus his rights, when it all added up, he decided to give it a try.

His dignity was shattered into pieces along with the pieces of clothes falling down.

Of course, there is also good news, that is, after online surveys, his approval rating has increased a lot, reaching a new high for recent presidents.

This was the only thing that made him feel happy.

Meanwhile, as the five-minute countdown begins, Charles and Nick Fury take action.

To be more precise, they had actually found their target a long time ago, but they had been waiting, waiting for the countdown, waiting for the president to accept his tragic fate, waiting for him to step into the abyss with one foot, and the moment he was about to be doomed, they would do it again. Pull the other person out.

At that time, the president who had already resigned himself to his fate was suddenly rescued. The gratitude and excitement generated by the huge gap were far beyond what could be compared to rescuing the other party an hour in advance.

This is Nick Fury's proposal.

According to him, it is inevitable that the other party will make a fool of themselves anyway, so it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to gain more benefits for them.

Presidents often have such things, but opportunities like this don't come often.

There is no doubt that after this incident, Charles, as the main hero, is very likely to get... at least strong support from the president when he brings up the matter of X school, which will reduce a lot of resistance.

Even after the details of the incident are revealed, Charles will be remembered by many as the hero who saved the poor president.

"Take action."

Looking at the countdown with two minutes left, Nick Fury said something to Charles.

He still had to spare some time to make a call to the White House.

Charles nodded.

This time, it was just him and Nick Fury.

The next second, Charles reached out and pressed his fingers on his temples, and then said to Nick Fury: "Okay."

Nick Fury had not yet finished his breath. When he heard this, he was startled and said, "Is this the end?"

Charles nodded and said: "Contact them over there, let's go and bring them out first."

Nick Fury took out his cell phone and said, "No problem."

After saying that, the two walked towards the building, while Nick Fury looked at the time and pressed the number after the sixty-second countdown.

At the same time, apart from the president and his partner, there were only one photographer and the president’s secretary left in the live broadcast room.

One minute left to count down…

The live broadcast begins.

The president said sadly to the screen: "I am willing to sacrifice myself for the sake of my family, and this is also my promise to everyone!"

He walked forward slowly, his whole body trembling slightly.

Getting closer, getting closer, just when he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, prepared to fight, and even bent his waist...

"Stop! Stop!"

The secretary screamed excitedly, rushed directly in front of the confused president, pulled the president away, took out the jacket on his arm, wrapped it around the president's waist, and shouted to the president: "Sir! Save! It’s done! Rescued! It’s okay!”

The president was stunned for a moment, his body suddenly became weak, and he sat down on the ground. Then he jumped up with his face flushed and shouted loudly to the camera: "To our great country!"

The feeling of falling from the most powerful position in the world to hell, and then from hell to heaven, is nothing more than this.

Cheers rang out and people cheered excitedly, but there were also many people who looked disappointed because they didn't see what they wanted to see.

But no matter what, the president was redeemed.

With a flushed face, he put on his clothes one by one, strode out of the studio, and hugged everyone.

This time, not only did he not lose face, but he also received higher support because of it, and the next election was secured.

Instantly, he thought about the next election.

A group of people walked into the President's office.

The president was still in the excitement of surviving the disaster and kept walking around.

"Who? Who saved my wife and daughter?"

He paused and asked his secretary excitedly.

"yes… "

"What is it?"

"It's a mutant."

"Mutant!?"

The president paused.

"Yes, sir, that's what Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD, reported."

"SHIELD? Isn't it their fault?"

"No, there were only two people in this operation, Nick Fury and a mutant named Charles. It was this mutant who rescued your family." After a pause, the secretary said: "That's what Nick Fury reported. "

Nick Fury

This bastard is not someone who gives away the credit. So, it was really the mutant who saved him this time

Praise for this mutant!

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Charles, is your name Charles? I want to see him! Now!"

"They are taking your family this way. They will be there in a moment."

The president nodded, then frowned and said, "He'll be there in a moment? What do you mean? Where did they find the kidnapper?"

Hearing this question, the secretary looked a little strange and said, "It's just five blocks away from here."

As soon as the words came out, the office fell silent. The president's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but cursed at everyone: "A bunch of losers!"
