Chapter 771 Ross's Anger

[At the same time that Star-Lord and his team suffered defeat, on Earth, Captain America and his team had already arrived at the Avengers headquarters in northern California on a Quinjet.]

Inside the headquarters, Rhodes sat at the table. A voice rang out, "Still can't contact Vision?"

"Satellite shows his last whereabouts were in Edinburgh!"

"On a stolen Quinjet, there are four of the world's most wanted criminals!"

Next to Rhodes, Secretary of State Ross was communicating with him via projection, while several high-ranking officials were busy around him.

[After hearing Ross's words, Rhodes looked at him with some dissatisfaction.]

"You know they're wanted criminals because of you, right? Sir!"

"My God! Rod! When did you learn to talk back?"

"If it weren't for the Sokovia Accords, Vision wouldn't have left!"

"I remember you signed the agreement, too! Colonel!" Ross walked up to him and stared at him.

Rhodes nodded and said, "That's right! And I paid the price I deserved!"

[At this point, he's used to walking with the help of prosthetic limbs.]

Ross glanced at his lower body. "Do you have any other comments?"

【"there is none left!"】

[Just as the two were talking, the doorbell rang. They turned around and saw Captain America and his men swaggering in.]

"Mr. Secretary of State!" Captain America greeted him.

Ross walked up to them, somewhat annoyed. "You guys are so bold! I really admire you!"

Natasha's expression was very calm. "How about I lend you a little courage?"

Ross tutted and said to Captain America, "The whole world is in dire straits! Do you think there's an amnesty?"

Captain America said calmly, "I'm not here to confess my guilt! I no longer need to obey your orders! The Earth is vulnerable! That's why we're here to fight for it!"

He leaned closer to Ross's projection, stared into his eyes, and said, "If you want to stop us... then don't blame us for being rude!"

Ross slowly turned his head and ordered Rhodes, "Arrest them!"

Rhode nodded slightly, "No problem!" He turned off the projection and said to himself, "This is enough for a court-martial! I'm so glad to see you, Captain!"

[Captain America walked up and shook his hand, "Me too! Rod!"]

[Natasha walked over and hugged him.]

"You look... shabby! You haven't had a good time these past few years!" Rhode paused for several seconds before coming up with the word.

Sam, who was carrying Vision's arm, smiled and said, "Yeah! Well! After all, we're not staying in a five-star hotel!"

As they exchanged pleasantries, Banner appeared from the other side and said, "You look well!"

[At this time, he had already taken a shower and changed his clothes. "Yeah! It's me! I'm back!"]

Natasha's eyes brightened. "Hi! Bruce!"

[Banner grabbed his arm and hesitated for a few seconds before responding: "Natasha!"]

Sam watched this scene and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This is a bit embarrassing!"

[Hearing this, Vision and Wanda glanced at him sideways.]

"General Ross must be furious after seeing this. He seems to want to compete for the presidency." Rhodes tilted his head, not paying attention to his own disobedience on the sky.

"It's probably difficult to succeed! At least his current image is not very good!" Scott shook his head. The sky curtain had a great influence, and some of his actions on it affected him in reality.

In addition, when the dark elves invaded, his artillery accidentally bombed the high-rise buildings in New York. Although it was generally believed at the time that the technological gap between the earth and the aliens was too large and had nothing to do with him, there would still be some negative impacts.

Now his unpleasant behavior on the sky screen has made his situation somewhat worrying. Now it is not certain whether he can keep his position as commander of the New York theater.

Banner gave Rhodes and Captain America a detailed introduction about Thanos.

"So... they'll definitely come back, right? Right?" Rhode's face was serious, feeling a bit awkward.

[Wanda stood aside and said: "They can find us easily!"]

[You know, even Tony and Ross, who have countless satellites, don't know where she and Vision are, but Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, who are under Thanos, easily found them. ]

Banner looked around and noticed that a familiar figure was missing, and he couldn't help but ask a question.

"We need more people! Where's Hawkeye Clint?"

Natasha folded her arms and explained, "After the Sokovia incident, he and Scott both pleaded guilty! The pressure from their families was too great, and now they're both under house arrest!"

[Banner had never seen Scott, nor did he know him, "Who is Scott?"]

[Captain America said calmly, "Ant-Man!"]

"There's an Ant-Man! And a Spider-Man? Okay! Listen to me! Thanos has assembled the most powerful army in the universe! He won't stop until he gets... Vision's gem!"

Natasha said without hesitation: "Then we must protect it!"

"No! We have to destroy it!!!" Vision, clutching his wound, said something startling, drawing everyone's gaze towards him.

"I've been studying the properties of this gem on my head lately! And its composition!"

He slowly walked towards Wanda, looked at her and said, "If I come into contact with a sufficiently powerful energy source! If it resonates with its properties! Perhaps... its molecular structure will be destroyed!"

[“Yeah! But you’ll also die! Don’t even think about it!” How could Wanda agree to Vision’s approach! This would be more painful than killing her!]

[Vision is very serious, "To prevent the gem from falling into Thanos' hands, there is no other way except to destroy it!"]

[Wanda shook her head, "I can't accept this price!"]

[Vision reaches out and strokes Wanda's hair, "Only you have this power!"]

[Wanda resisted and walked aside, her back facing everyone.]

[Captain America also knows that this idea is too unreasonable and too cruel for Wanda! ]

"Thanos threatens half the universe! To defeat him, even sacrificing one life is nothing!"

Captain America raised an eyebrow and said, "But a life is also important! We won't trade our lives!"
