Chapter 147: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Little Universe Chapter 69

Hearing Hearing Natasha was slightly stunned.

"You found Hawk?"

"Yes."

"In Quantico?"

"No, New Mexico."

"New..."

Hearing Hearing Natasha was dumbfounded: "How did he run off to New Mexico?"

Maria Hill looked at the video just sent back by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in New Mexico, and after a moment of silence, she said: "The Ross family cemetery has been destroyed."

As she spoke, Hearing Hearing Natasha took out the phone that had just received the message.

She tapped on the video that had just been sent.

It came into view.

In the video footage, as far as the eye could see, tombstones were destroyed, and the graves looked as if they had been bombarded by artillery; shattered coffins and various debris almost filled the entire cemetery.

Not to mention the Ross Manor in front of the cemetery.

After the camera panned over, the manor, which had been decorated with extraordinary luxury, had become dilapidated and had completely turned into a ruin.

Hearing Hearing Natasha was shocked.

"This..."

"Agents in New York have just confirmed that the grave of Hawk's sister, Anna, had some slight damage, which should have been caused by last night's battle. If nothing goes wrong, the destroyed Ross Manor and the Ross family cemetery are Hawk's retaliation."

"Hiss!"

Hearing Hearing Natasha gasped, then, as if thinking of something, she asked subconsciously.

"Does General Ross know?"

"Yes."

"Then wouldn't he go crazy?"

Hearing Hearing Natasha asked subconsciously, then took another look at the video playing on her phone screen.

Others might not know, but if it were her family cemetery that had been wiped out like this, she would definitely go crazy.

However...

Serves him right!

Hearing Hearing Natasha curled her lips.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was still in the middle of risk assessment and budgeting for contact methods regarding Hawk, but the military, on the other hand, didn't bother with any nonsense and just charged in like that.

Did they really think that because Hawk's name sounded similar to the Hulk's, he was just a second Bruce Banner?

Bruce Banner could only hide when chased by you, but don't just assume everyone will hide from you.

Now look at this.

How wild they were at the start, how miserable they must feel now.

Tsk tsk.

I'm afraid he even dug up the bones of that Mr. Ross who came over on the Mayflower.

Hearing Hearing Natasha marveled inwardly, then her expression suddenly froze.

"Commander, that's not right. New York City is very far from New Mexico. From the time the incident happened until now, only six hours have passed. How could he possibly have reached New Mexico so quickly?"

"To be precise, it only took him less than three hours to get to New Mexico."

"What?"

Hearing Hearing Natasha said in shock: "That's impossible."

Maria Hill said in a deep voice: "But it is the truth, and now is not the time to dwell on how fast his speed is. If I haven't guessed wrong, his next step should be to go to Quantico."

Perhaps one couldn't tell much from the fact that Hawk killed the Hulk to avenge his sister.

But after the Ross family cemetery was wiped out, one thing could almost be seen.

Hawk returns every grievance.

Therefore...

Since he even wiped out the Ross family cemetery, how could he possibly let off Thaddeus Ross, who supported last night's operation?

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. had once again lost track of Hawk.

But...

Maria Hill was very certain about Hawk's next destination.

It was Quantico.

Hearing Hearing Natasha frowned as she listened to Maria Hill's speculation.

"Then I..."

"Stay there."

"Huh?"

Maria Hill said in a deep voice: "Find a way to see if you can stay by Gwen's side, until this matter is over."

Hearing Hearing Natasha raised an eyebrow.

"Commander, you mean..."

"It's not certain yet, but better safe than sorry. By the way, don't mention this to anyone, understand?"

"Okay, then..."

Hearing Hearing Natasha nodded, raised her eyes, and scanned the three S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the van who were busy with their work.

Maria Hill seemed to know what Hearing Hearing Natasha wanted to say and shook her head: "The people sent this time are agents that both Victoria and I trust. They will be responsible for perimeter security until this matter is over."

Hearing Hearing Natasha realized.

"Okay, Commander."

"Hanging up."

After saying this, Maria Hill, who was in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion headquarters office, hung up her phone, set it aside, leaned back in her chair, and subconsciously reached out to massage her trigeminal nerve.

She had originally intended to have Hearing Hearing Natasha withdraw.

But...

Just as she was about to say to have Hearing Hearing Natasha withdraw, for some reason, her heart gave a sudden jolt, and then she thought of something, which is why she changed her mind and told Hearing Hearing Natasha to stay and protect Gwen.

Because she felt that the military might use Gwen as bait, in the event that they couldn't defeat Hawk head-on.

This was not an illusion; it was a judgment based on her time serving in the military and working as an intelligence officer.

The military, in order to win a war, will stop at nothing.

And this was a war.

It was just that the girlfriend the Hulk dated back then was named Betty Ross, General Ross's daughter. If it had been any other girlfriend, Ross would have likely kidnapped the Hulk's girlfriend long ago and set a trap waiting for the Hulk to walk right into it.

Now Hawk had wiped out General Ross's family cemetery.

Therefore...

Just in case, one had to be on guard.

Also...

After Maria Hill finished thinking about General Ross, another name appeared in her mind. She subconsciously looked up, her gaze directed toward the direction of the office where S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury was located.

Her intuition was telling her that Nick Fury also had a hand in this sudden military attack on Hawk.

After all, among the seventy-seven federal soldiers found at the scene, the identity of one soldier was detected by New York S.H.I.E.L.D. as being fake.

That corpse was not a military soldier, but a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

And very few people inside S.H.I.E.L.D. knew of Hawk's existence, and even for those who did, she had already issued a strict order that no one was to privately contact or investigate Hawk without her orders.

Yet, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent had still appeared.

And coincidentally, it was a black one.

Maria Hill seriously suspected that this black agent who died on the New York battlefield had been sent by Nick Fury.

The reason was simple.

Yesterday afternoon, the Anli Society abruptly announced that Nick Fury's operational authority had been unfrozen.

Operational authority unfrozen in the afternoon.

The military launched an attack in the evening.

Could there be no necessary connection between the two?

Is that possible?

Just as Maria Hill was frowning, wondering what was going on, the phone on her desk rang.

"Hello."

"Commander, we have discovered the suspected whereabouts of Hawk."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Maria Hill stood up immediately and left the office.

Coincidentally.

The door to the office opposite also opened.

Nick Fury, who had already restored his operational authority, walked out from inside.

Maria Hill did not wait, but instead took the elevator exclusive to the commander and went down to the combat command center.

After a while.

She and Nick Fury walked into the combat command center almost one after the other.

"Haw..."

"Where is that damn criminal located right now?"

Before Maria Hill could speak, Nick Fury, having successfully staged a triumphant return, walked over from behind with his voice restored to its usual booming volume, and as he passed Maria Hill, he chuckled: "Sorry, we are not in a wartime state right now."

Maria Hill gave a formulaic smile and said nothing.

She is the Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and wartime commander; simply put, only when S.H.I.E.L.D. enters a wartime state does her authority automatically leap above Nick Fury's.

But in normal times, with his operational authority restored, Nick Fury, as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., has more say than she does.

"Director."

"A figure suspected to be Hawk was just spotted in Malilanzhou."

"Pull it up."

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agent nodded, and then a photo appeared on the big screen that seemed to have been taken by an ATM, only the Hawk in this photo was moving so fast his shadow was almost a blur.

Nick Fury looked at this photo, having regained his operational authority along with his catchphrase.

"WTF, are there any other photos?"

"No."

"Analyze his desti..."

"Sir!"

A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in front of the big screen seemed to have just received some incredible information, and turned to look at Nick Fury and Maria Hill to report loudly.

"Five seconds ago, an explosion occurred at the Quantico military base."

"..."
