Chapter 126

~6 min read 1,077 words

With a humming sound, the Bugatti Chiron gradually drove into the distance.

……

"Sigh, they really left."

Watching Karl's supercar drive away.

Coulson gave a wry smile, "What do we do now?"

Originally, he had planned everything well before coming.

To be sincere in his attitude and try his best to recruit Mr. Superman into the superhero team.

Even if he couldn't get the other party to join.

At the very least, he had to leave a good impression on Mr. Superman.

And the result?

The man hadn't even spoken a few words to him.

That wouldn't have been a big deal; he could have taken it slow.

But before he could even leave, Hawkeye somehow ended up fighting the man.

And Hawkeye was dead.

Not even a bone left.

Now, he didn't even know how to explain this to Nick Fury.

Without needing to think, Coulson knew.

Nick Fury would definitely be furious.

And then, he would declare Superman an enemy of S.H.I.E.L.D.

After all, Superman had killed a high-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This was a result Coulson did not want to see.

But he had no choice.

He could only report it truthfully.

"Sigh, what a pity..."

Coulson sighed.

Inviting Superman to join the team was now completely impossible.

After thinking for a moment, he walked toward his car.

He had to go back and report the situation in person.

Just then, he noticed the pedestrians passing by.

He only then remembered that this was an airport.

"Oh no!"

Coulson inwardly cried out that things were bad.

Just now, the battle between Karl and Hawkeye.

Had not been hidden in the slightest.

Which meant.

The ordinary people around had all seen it.

One had to know, this was an airport!

As one of the world's top metropolises, New York City.

The passenger flow at the airport was naturally very high.

According to incomplete statistics, the annual passenger volume of New York City was over one hundred million.

The airport where Coulson was located was also a famous international airport.

There were many people.

Didn't this mean that the people around.

Had all seen the battle between Superman and Hawkeye?

This was definitely not a good thing.

It would trigger public discussion.

Perhaps someone had even recorded a video on the spot and posted it online.

Just like when Superman dealt with the Abomination before.

The influence of that incident had not yet completely faded.

It was still a hot topic for many people.

Now, with another incident of Superman killing someone.

It was likely not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Coulson became even more anxious.

He had to do something.

Explain to the public that this was filming a movie?

That was the excuse used last time.

And it had been ruthlessly debunked by Tony Stark.

Plus, since Superman hadn't hidden his face, the public likely wouldn't believe it.

What to do?

The more Coulson thought, the more anxious he became.

For a moment, he actually had no good ideas.

However, just as he was racking his brains.

He was suddenly stunned.

Because Coulson discovered that the situation seemed different from what he had imagined.

There were many people around.

Quite a few people were walking past him.

But not many people showed signs of panic or interest.

Seeing the passersby around looking like they were just going about their day normally.

Coulson was somewhat confused.

What was going on?

Why was no one showing panic or looking like they were watching a spectacle?

Didn't these passersby love watching spectacles the most?

Hmm, last time during the Abomination incident.

Many people had gathered to watch.

There were even quite a few people who took out their phones to record videos.

What was going on now?

Coulson looked blank.

Could it be that these passersby had changed their nature?

That was impossible.

The incident last time.

If it weren't for these passersby leaking the news and even recording videos.

It wouldn't have become the hot news topic it was now.

However.

The reaction of these people now was quite different from before.

Could it be because last time it was Superman defeating a giant monster.

And the top billionaire, Tony Stark, had appeared, so the public was very interested?

This time it was only Superman, and he was dealing with a human.

So no one cared?

Uh...

That didn't seem very plausible.

Even if they weren't interested, that was still Superman.

And he had even used heat vision.

That there wasn't a single onlooker was very absurd.

Coulson observed the situation at the airport for a while.

But what he couldn't figure out was.

He didn't know why.

This battle between Superman and Hawkeye.

Really didn't seem to have anyone paying attention.

Although he didn't understand the specific reason.

But the fact that no one was paying attention and no chaos was caused.

Was naturally a good thing.

After confirming that no one was paying attention, Coulson left with confusion.

He still had to return to headquarters to report the previous situation to Nick Fury.

Actually.

Coulson didn't know.

The reason the passersby at the airport didn't pay attention to this side.

Was all because of Karl.

When he made his move, he had already hypnotized all the passersby present.

After all.

The person he was dealing with was just Hawkeye from S.H.I.E.L.D.

It had nothing to do with those ordinary passersby.

Karl also wasn't afraid of being seen by ordinary people when he made his move.

Because these ordinary people could not possibly affect him.

At most, he would feel it was troublesome when ordinary people asked for photos.

And letting passersby encounter panic for no reason.

Was also not what Karl wanted.

Therefore.

When he made his move, he hypnotized the passersby at the airport.

……

Coulson drove to a hidden location.

After transferring to a plane, he headed straight for headquarters.

While on the plane.

He contacted Nick Fury.

Soon, the communication was connected.

Nick Fury's voice sounded, "Coulson?"

"Director, regarding the mission to contact Superman."

"I have some situations that I need to report to you."

"Oh? Go ahead."

"I think it would be better to discuss this matter in person."

"Alright."

Coulson asked: "Director, are you still at headquarters?"

"That's right."

Nick Fury, although he didn't know why Coulson wanted to report in person.

But the two had a decades-long friendship, and he understood the kind of person Coulson was.
