Hearing George's undisguised, slightly disgusted words, Coulson forced a smile. He was just about to reply when a massive sonic boom erupted from the sky not far away.
Boom!!
"Woohoo, this armor flies fast!!"
"Aaaah! I'm going to fall!"
"Be careful!"
"Hey, look at me, bros, you all look lame!"
At the same time, the clamorous noise exploded in Anton's ears.
Everyone looked up and saw Tony, Rhodey, and Harry, the three armored men, returning to the largest exhibition booth.
During their flight, they were also carrying three turtles each.
Michelangelo landed safely on his flying skateboard.
His gaze swept over the skateboard under Harry's feet, and after comparing them, he felt that his own skateboard was completely comparable to the Osborn Company's technology, and he nodded in satisfaction.
He'd saved face!
"Director George, we're not late this time. Our people arrived on the scene long ago, and even contributed quite a bit."
Coulson smiled slightly when he saw Tony.
"Your people?"
George looked skeptical, saying coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't seen anyone from S.H.I.E.L.D. from start to finish!"
"Tony Stark, a special consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D., and also a member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Special Operations Squad, the Avengers, a superhero team similar to the Justice League," Coulson explained to George. "Tony is a formal member of the Avengers."
George was momentarily speechless.
On the surface, however, he remained calm, his gaze sweeping over Tony.
Tony's mouth twitched, he glanced at Coulson, then looked at George, feeling as though he had inexplicably become the scapegoat.
"That's wonderful!"
George pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed a strange smile, saying, "If that's the case, S.H.I.E.L.D. should be responsible for the losses incurred during this incident, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent, you could hear a pin drop.
Anton almost burst out laughing.
George was a clever little fox.
Normally, if a terrorist attack occurred within New York, the local law enforcement agencies would be responsible.
But now, S.H.I.E.L.D. was proactively stepping up. Naturally, they would bear the losses from this incident.
Moreover, the people asking to take charge had given George an offer he couldn't refuse.
They were the parties involved!
Who were the parties involved?
Besides Ivan Vanko, who was likely already turned to ash, of course it was Iron Man, Tony Stark, who had fought Ivan.
From Coulson's words, Tony was also a special consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D., and also belonged to the Avengers, a special operations team under S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Then, of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Tony Stark should take the blame!
"How about it?"
George laughed. "Since S.H.I.E.L.D. is in charge of this matter, the New York Police Department won't mind cleaning things up for you this time."
He stared at Coulson with interest, waiting to see what answer he would give.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. will take responsibility for this."
Coulson forced a wry smile.
Just as George had thought, Coulson had no choice.
The relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the New York Police Department was already tense, and now George didn't even give them a friendly look.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. reneged on its debt, those people would probably be targeted relentlessly by George if they entered New York in the future.
Moreover, S.H.I.E.L.D. had reasons to take the initiative in taking over the initiative of this incident from George.
Ivan Vanko!
This guy is involved in some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s early projects.
Moreover, the Arc Reactor in Ivan's possession also needs to be dealt with by S.H.I.E.L.D. afterwards, to erase a considerable amount of traces.
None of this can be found by the New York Police Department.
Otherwise, it will cause great discontent within the United States.
The simplest example is that S.H.I.E.L.D. clearly has the technical data of the Arc Reactor, but turned a deaf ear to the previous inquiries of the U.S. military.
Therefore, even knowing that George Stacy intends to extort, S.H.I.E.L.D. has to swallow their pride and admit it. They must clean up their mess to avoid trouble.
"Alright, let's go."
George waved his hand: "Guys, leave this to S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Okay."
"Understood!"
The officers were all focused on the current situation.
Hearing George's shout, they knew they might not have to work overtime tonight, and they became excited.
"Thanks, S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
Someone even shouted, filled with a teasing tone.
Before leaving, George looked at Anton and asked, "Do you need me to give you a ride?"
Anton's heart moved at the words, and he nodded, "Of course."
After speaking, he looked around and then led Eddie into George's police car, leaving the scene with the people from the police station.
The Turtles didn't linger either; they'd had their fun in the fight.
In fact, the New York City Police Department hadn't been entirely unproductive tonight.
Electro, Max, was the "trophy" they'd managed to snag.
S.H.I.E.L.D. might have known about Max, but Coulson and the others weren't interested in mutants like him.
All mutants were inherently unreplicable.
Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. captured Electro, they could only lock him up, which wouldn't serve any additional purpose.
So, Coulson only intended to clean up the mess for S.H.I.E.L.D. itself, and didn't plan to deal with Electro.
"Well then, I won't bother you any further!"
Harry, seeing the situation, stood on his flying skateboard and became a meteor, speeding towards the Osborn Company building.
Hammer Industries' Iron Soldiers rioted!
Justin Hammer was kidnapped and presumably on the run!
Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity for the Osborn Company to seek revenge, seize the market, and develop rapidly?
A golden opportunity that must be seized!
Therefore, only the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel and half a S.H.I.E.L.D. member, Tony Stark, remained at the scene.
"Perhaps..."
Tony stared at Coulson, his gaze unfriendly: "I need an explanation."
Although this matter was somewhat related to him, the connection wasn't as exaggerated as Coulson described.
Clearly, S.H.I.E.L.D. had concealed some information.
"I'll explain in detail."
Coulson said seriously, "Before that, you need to know this matter is related to your father... Ivan Vanko's father used to be your father's colleague, and they jointly researched the Arc Reactor!"
"What?"
Tony's eyes widened.
He immediately understood why the Arc Reactor created by Ivan Vanko was so similar to his technology! It turned out they were originally from the same source!
On the other side.
George was talking to Anton in the police car.
"Anton, concerning Justin Hammer, I hope you and Batman can pay more attention!"
George, though pleased with the hole he'd dug for S.H.I.E.L.D., was more concerned with his own matters.
Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. took responsibility for the Whiplash incident caused by Ivan Vanko, the New York Police Department couldn't completely stay out of it, not participating at all.
The key was Justin Hammer, and the Osborn Company behind him.
Justin was a crucial link that couldn't be avoided in this event.
More importantly, Justin Hammer was "kidnapped" right in front of the New York Police Department! Of course, whether it was truly a "kidnapping" was still up for debate.
However, it was undeniable that George Stacy believed the New York Police Department needed to figure out the truth behind Justin Hammer's "kidnapping."
If it was truly as George suspected, that Justin Hammer had staged it himself, intentionally planning this so-called kidnapping to go from overt to covert, to retreat from the spotlight, then George vowed he would make Justin Hammer regret it.
