Chapter 597 Undercurrent
“What happened to Iron Man?”
“We need Iron Man! We need the truth!”
“Iron Man is seriously injured and dying? Is it true?!”
“What about SHIELD? What about the League of Defender? Captain America, Mirage Knight, can you give us some answers?”
The next day, after SHIELD had loosened some control over public opinion, a lot of news about Iron Man’s disappearance and him being seriously injured appeared in various media.
Although because Iron Man’s prestige is very high, coupled with some government guidance, these media also did not report too much. However, such a kind of half-covered news resonates more with ordinary people.
It seems that Killian and their plan seems to be a perfect success. Because, after the news that Iron Man TonyStark was seriously injured and dying broke out, everyone’s fear of Extremis Fighters became even stronger.
Even the powerful Iron Man could not deal with the enemy, so how could ordinary people like them resist. So, their first goal of using force to conquer the world was accomplished, and that was to make the world afraid of them.
Next, as long as there is no one else to stop them, they will definitely overthrow the regime of the first power on earth.
In a small town in the middle of the United States, far from both Washington and New York, Killian, who had arranged for the Extremis fighters to attack Tony, was hiding in the town and quietly waiting for the news about Iron Man to fester.
“Tony Stark, you were lucky enough that you didn’t get blown up straight away! However, you must be worse than dead now. Without you, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves to block our constant stream of Extremis Fighters?” Looking at the various speculations on the Internet about Iron Man’s current situation, Killian muttered to himself in a gloomy tone.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the attack, Killian bypassed Mandarin and the people behind him and directly controlled his own Extremis Fighters to self-destruct at close range. In Killian’s plan, even if he killed Maya Hansen while killing Tony then that would be worth it.
However, the result of the attack was not so satisfying for Killian. At least, Tony did not directly die and was rescued by the people who came behind him.
Although Killian felt that even if Tony didn’t die, he was seriously injured by that attack and he wouldn’t be able to make a complete recovery. Not unless he could get his hands on the Extremis Technology. If they use Extremis to transform Tony’s body then he would still have a chance to recover normally.
“Huh! I really hope that those guys will use Extremis to heal Tony Stark in the end. In that case, he will become the biggest card in my hand. However, you would still have to come to me and beg if you want Extremis!” For Tony, Killian’s hatred is not a little bit.
Dī Dī Drops!
While Killian was hiding in this small town watching the storm of news from the outside world, a communicator he had on hand suddenly rang out. Scanning the words displayed on the communicator, Killian’s eyes flashed as he connected the communication.
“The pressure of public opinion is enough, we can start the next move.” Without speaking any unnecessary nonsense, a sentence without emotion came from the other side of the communicator.
“Finally. I thought I would have to continue hiding again.” Killian said with a harsh expression flashing across his face when he heard the words opposite the communicator.
“Although there will be someone up there to interfere with SHIELD’s actions, however, Captain America not someone who could be taken lightly. Remember, what we need is the ever-expanding heartfelt panic of the general public, not great material destruction.” It seems that the person on the other side of the communicator could see Killian’s expression change, and reminded him twice more.
“I know. However, where would the fear factor be if there is no material destruction?” Hearing the other party’s words, Killian’s eyes flashed and then said.
“You only need to control this process by yourself. As long as you don’t make it too difficult for the people above then I don’t care what you do. Also, Mandarin is very unhappy with your sacrifice of Maya Hansen this time.” No longer asking Killian about his next actions, the guy on the communicator suddenly talked about Maya Hansen. It seems that Mandarin really cares about this girl.
“Haha, Unhappy!! What is his happiness got to do with me?! If it wasn’t for the people above then who would even care about him. He is just a puppet, does he really think that he has any power over me?” Hearing the words of the man on the communicator, Killian said with a face full of disdain.
If it wasn’t for Killian, who was not suitable to become a mysterious person behind the scenes because of his early years outside, why would the people on top find an old man with good acting skills to be their puppet?
Moreover, in order to make this puppet more realistic, Mandarin does have a lot of power on his hands, which is why he was able to give Killian a hard time.
“I won’t interfere with the conflict between you guys, as long as it doesn’t interfere with our big plan.” The man was also aware of Killian’s displeasure with Mandarin and said nothing more.
“Of course the plan will not be affected, don’t worry, no one else would be able to interfere this time, I will do what I have to do perfectly.” Speaking of their plans, Killian spoke with a fanatical expression on his face.
“Let’s hope so.” Ka~ Then, this covert communication ended.
After hanging up the communication, Killian simply packed up his things and walked out of this ordinary house. Since the people on top are going to start their big move, Killian does not need to hide in this town where there are not many cameras.
Starting today, Killian is going to let the world know without Iron Man’s protection, they are like the flowers in the greenhouse that could be easily destroyed by anyone. To continue to live safely, they will have to abide by the new order and survive by the rules set by Killian and co.
Killian believes that as long as their plan succeeds, in the near future, the whole earth will be theirs. Moreover, when Extremis completely covers the globe, the whole earth will be under their control.
On that day, the entire earth will be considered to have completed the true sense of unity, which is also the ultimate goal Killian and the others have been working hard for.
While Killian and the others were preparing to take action due to the fermentation of public opinion, a series of unexpected things happened inside SHIELD.
Since Captain Rogers took control of SHIELD, the World Security Council, which has not questioned SHIELD’s Internal Affairs, suddenly attacked SHIELD as one of their board members directly accused Captain Rogers and asked him whether he was qualified to run SHIELD.
After all, how can an “Old Man” who had just been dug out of the ice take over a large organization with responsibilities covering the world?
