The New York battle was over. Although the losses were huge, the New Yorkers weren't affected.
What a joke. We're New Yorkers. Since the beginning of the last century, there have been talks about destroying New York. But until now, isn't the Statue of Liberty still standing here?
Moreover, the ones who should be worried about this weren't the New Yorkers, but the government and insurance companies.
More than half of New York was gone. Who knew how much money it would take to restore it to its original state? And how much compensation would the insurance companies have to pay for these losses.
What?
You said you won't pay for it?
Don't you know how to parade through the streets? Don't say that we're unreasonable. We're all scammers. Why should we reason with you?
However, for the big shots in power, they didn't care about the monetary losses. What really gave them a headache was who should be the scapegoat!
Find Frey to take the blame?
Although they felt sorry for Frey, this was the first thought that appeared in everyone's minds. After all, this was caused by Frey. If he wasn't the scapegoat, who would be the scapegoat?
However, Frey was very calm because he knew — he wouldn't take the blame!
If the missile hadn't destroyed New York, if Frey hadn't gambled everything to buy 15 minutes for the superhero, he would have had to take the blame.
But now?
New York's losses were huge. Not to mention the economy, the number of deaths was at least hundreds of thousands. It was definitely the largest number of casualties in America in recent years.
But don't forget the seven to eight million people who were still living in New York.
If not for Frey, these seven million people would also be finished. Even the city of New York would be wiped off the map of America forever due to pollution.
Frey was problematic, but this time, his merits outweighed his faults!
So the question was, who was going to take the blame for this?
The World Security Council?
Don't mess around. They had nothing to do with this. Moreover, Frey wasn't the scapegoat. Why should they take the blame?
Or should they look for the big shots who let Frey develop the Rubik's Cube, such as America?
What were they thinking?
Wasn't it the underlings who took the blame when something happened?
When did it become the big shots taking the blame?
Therefore, no matter how things went, it seemed that no one would take responsibility for this matter.
Then, some lunatic actually said that since no one wanted to take the blame, they might as well throw it to the superheroes. Thus, after some discussion, the big shots happily threw the matter to the World Security Council.
To be honest, the members of the Security Council did not want to be involved in this matter at all. Throwing the blame to the superheroes?
Some of the weaker ones were easy to deal with, and some didn't even need to be dealt with. After all, Hawkeye and Black Widow were in S.H.E.L.D.
But monsters like Nagini, Thor, and Hulk?
Did they really think that they were pushovers?
However, there was nothing they could do. After all, the boss was still the boss. As employees, they had no choice but to listen to him. Therefore, after some discussion, they decided to let S.H.E.L.D. handle this matter.
That's right. In the end, it was still Frey.
They didn't know when it started, but whenever there was a dirty or tiring job, they just had to look for S.H.E.L.D..
At the headquarters of S.H.E.L.D., Frey was smoking in his office. Although he only had one eye and looked particularly fierce, he was so happy that he looked like a 200-pound fatty. The corners of his mouth were almost reaching his ears.
There was no other way. He was happy, he was happy!
Although the battle in New York caused a lot of losses, Frey saw benefits that others could not see.
The aliens were dead. Their bodies could be used for research. Their equipment could advance Earth's science and technology. Also, the huge Zerg mothership could allow S.H.E.L.D. to make great progress in biological science!
This was a huge cake, and now this cake was in Frey's hands.
Even if Daddy America took away most of the cake, S.H.E.L.D. could still make a lot of money.
Then …
"What?
The Avengers have to bear the responsibility for the Chitauri invasion of Earth? "
Frey looked at the group of wise people in front of him in astonishment. He really wanted to say, "Are your brains fried?"
Looking at Fury's questioning eyes, the members of the Security Council tightened their faces and expressed, "That's right.
They said, "Frey, watch your attitude. The destruction of New York and the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of people are inextricably linked to these Avengers."
From the results, the loss of New York and the death of hundreds of thousands of people had nothing to do with the Avengers!
This was completely fallacious logic. If it weren't for their identities, Frey would definitely have cursed them out.
According to your logic, when the police were enforcing the law, they should have just watched the criminals escape in order to avoid causing property damage to the public.
They were the Avengers. Their duty was to save New York!
Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of people in New York were killed by aliens. It had nothing to do with the Avengers. They were hundreds of thousands of people. In the United States, where guns were free, they were not hundreds of thousands of pigs!
In addition, if it weren't for the Avengers, you wise people would have killed seven to eight million people in New York!
Therefore, Frey decisively said,
"I don't think this matter has anything to do with the Avengers."
But the group of people on the other side reacted quickly. As soon as Frey finished speaking, someone said sarcastically, "So it has something to do with you?
After all, the aliens invaded Earth through the Rubik's Cube. "
Why did they throw the blame at him again?
Frey's face darkened a little. He said, "It has nothing to do with me!"
But the other party asked slyly, "Then who do you think it has something to do with?"
Frey thought for a while. After thinking for a while, his only eye flashed with seriousness. "Maybe we can throw it to the evil aliens?"
He finally understood that these bastards didn't want to be the scapegoat.
Of course, he didn't want to be the scapegoat either.
It was fine to throw the blame to the superheroes, but not to the Avengers. Because the Avengers were S.H.E.L.D.'s people. If there was a problem with the Avengers, did that mean there was a problem with S.H.E.L.D. too?
Then the question was, if no one wanted to be the scapegoat, who should be the scapegoat?
The answer was simple: the aliens!
Anyway, the aliens wouldn't come to Earth, so he decisively threw the blame to them.
However, what Frey did not expect was that the group of members of the Security Council opposite him shook their heads in the face of his suggestion. They looked at Frey with strange expressions and finally said,
"No, I think those guys with extraordinary powers are good."
Frey was stunned. He frowned subconsciously. "Wait, what do you want to do?"
But the other party shook their heads and said, "That's not something you should know."
If Frey could think of the problem, how could they not think of it?
The world lacked everything, but there was no shortage of smart people!
Everyone knew that it was the most reasonable to throw the blame to the aliens. After all, the real losses were not great. If the battlefield was cleaned up, New York could even make a lot of money. The only trouble was how to explain it to the public, and the aliens were a good guide.
But the problem was that the big shots with active minds were all ready to play a big game of chess!
Frey did not realize the other party's intentions. He just felt that it was strange and felt that the Avengers should not be blamed, so his attitude was very tough.
"I'm sorry, but I have to know about this!
S.H.E.L.D. is S.H.E.L.D., and the Security Council is the Security Council. You have the right to supervise S.H.E.L.D., but you have no right to order S.H.E.L.D.! "
This was a rare moment of glory for Frey. After all, in most cases, the people of the Security Council scolded S.H.E.L.D. like they were scolding their grandsons.
But when it came to superheroes and the general direction of S.H.E.L.D.'s future, Frey could not bow down this time.
The councilors fell silent. They thought for a while and exchanged glances with each other. In the end, Councilor Ross sighed and looked at Frey with a complicated expression.
"The Registration and Supervision of Superpowered Persons Act, Frey, you should know what this means."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Frey frowned subconsciously. "Councilor Ross, don't tell me you haven't given up on Hulk?"
But Councilor Ross shook his head.
"If I said that this has nothing to do with me, would you believe me?"
Frey was stunned. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and then a look of shock appeared on his face. "Damn it, your target is Nagini?"
The councilors fell silent. They looked at each other and finally looked at Frey. "…"
Looking at the group of councilors who had tacitly agreed, Frey's expression changed. Finally, he roared with an extremely ugly expression.
"Are you crazy?!"
