Chapter 1319 Clues (first update)

This time the emperor came to New York and had three things to do.

The first thing is to use the relationships he 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. It only requires a phone call to the New York gang leader Wilson Fisk; the second thing is to spend time with the children in the Mount Athena Orphanage. We had dinner together, the last time we did that 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, the emperor is still cooking in person, and by the way, let the children get to know Stephanie Malik, because the smartest among these children may work under her in the future.

The third thing is to wait until he sees Athena.

Stephanie Malik 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 empathy—a job that ended up being taken over by other older kids because they thought Stephanie Malick was just too clumsy. Every child she wiped left a rough red mark on his face, and cries broke out wherever he went. Compared to Stephanie, who was feeling uncomfortable, the emperor, who was sitting at the main seat of the long brown-black project table, seemed quite relaxed. He was eating calmly in the noisy environment while listening to the boys and girls on both sides with a smile. The leader reported to himself what 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 in regular basketball games. Due to their long-standing martial arts spirit, some girls are more interested in violent confrontations than chasing the ball. Lorna Dane relied on her adolescent development advantages and excellent martial arts to break two ribs and gain unquestionable control of the ball on the court. right. Violent conflicts are not something that needs to be avoided or corrected in the Mount Athena Orphanage. Due to overly advanced medical technology, limited violence is encouraged to a certain extent. However, it must be subject to proper guidance. It is impossible to actually fight to the death with a knife and a gun, and you may even suffer extremely serious punishments.

Whether these children ultimately want to stay or not, the most basic military training (basic for the 1st Secret Regiment soldiers) and the most basic close combat skills (basic for the sororities) will benefit them throughout their lives, while also providing Solve many administrative problems, after all, neither Athena herself nor the emperor has time to solve the little troubles between the children.

Everyone was happy except the unfortunate 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 in his hand and poured her a glass of wine, then looked at the others. He raised his thin wine glass and showed 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 want to drink too, then win the competition next time. Now someone has proven themselves, and then it will be 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, 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 whispered exchange between the emperor and this woman, and her intuition told her that there must be nothing good going on here, because the exchange of pointing at the information on the data board included "kill them all", "Never compromise" and other vicious and terrifying words. Her patience obviously did not allow her 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 , stretched out his hand to greet her to come to his side.

The former pounced immediately, 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 do not intend to negotiate with terrorists. Their only outcome is death." The emperor said, "Although it is just an emergency, I believe there must be many people above the sea area watching."

Victoria Hand's Defense Intelligence Unit quickly discovered the identities and experiences of the terrorists, many of whom had been arrested in a war. Although the official statement is that it is a prison break, those veteran SHIELD agents will not believe such nonsense. They have seen many similar tricks. Unarmed ordinary people cannot 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, and the Defense Intelligence Agency supports Steve Rogers' special operations team while screening surveillance near the location where the prepaid cell phone is used to identify suspicious persons or documented intelligence personnel. This is a very large workload. Although Victoria Hand is following the process to recruit new members, it also takes time.

What the emperor lacks most now is time.

"You also sent Captain America?" Little Lorna clicked on 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 approach the freighter through a kayak and then dive for a raid. 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 viewing it directly with the naked eye. "There's no way a mission like this could fail!" she said. "Even if there are no superheroes, aren't the ones you're sending out still special forces?"

"I'm not that optimistic, girl." Lorna Dane's youthful vibe makes Stephanie Malick frown. The emperor's choice of wine for her was not wine, but Irish red ale. Perhaps in his opinion, ordinary people could not drink wine as water like him. "Steve Rogers is a human being, and special operations military police are human beings. To make mistakes, we need to prepare contingencies to deal with the worst-case scenarios."

"What emergency measures?"

"Shipwreck." Stephanie Malik answered without hesitation, "There is a tourist attraction nearby, so the small freighter will not sink at its current location. We will erase all traces and interfere with all the skies over Latvinia. spy satellite, and now the Tianjian Space Station has begun to take action."
