Chapter 376 Speed ​​up that Plan!

"Hey, wait, don't you see there are so many people here? If you come up again, you will definitely be overweight. You should wait for the next one."

In front of the elevator, Rumlow and others were about to follow the Avengers to take the elevator down, but they were stopped by Tony.

"If you are really in a hurry, you can take the stairs. There are not many stairs, only 40 or 50 floors."

Ignoring the ugly faces of Rumlow and others, Tony winked at Rody at the door and signaled him to close the door.

"By the way, if you are not in a hurry, you can help me clean up the room. I will deduct the service fee from the compensation Nick Fury gave me."

Even though the elevator door was about to close, Tony still kept talking:

"By the way, don't touch my wine cabinet. They are all my treasures. I will settle accounts with you if one bottle is missing!"

Resisting the anger in his heart, Rumlow watched the elevator door close completely.

"Tony Stark!"

Gnawing his back teeth, Rumlow almost squeezed out these words from his teeth. If Sitwell hadn't winked at him frequently, he would have punched Stark in the face.

"Forget it, let's go later."

After comforting the captain of the quick response team beside him, Sitwell used the communicator to connect with Alexander Pierce.

"Mr. Secretary General, the Cosmic Cube and the Scepter were taken away by Lenny, and Loki is also there. The Avengers plan to hand them over to Asgard for disposal."

Rumlow didn't know what was said on the other end of the communication channel, but judging from Sitwell's expression, the gentleman didn't seem surprised.

"Okay, we will continue to follow them."

After hanging up the communication, Sitwell glanced at Rumlow beside him and gave the latter a meaningful expression.

…

"Where are you going?"

As soon as the Avengers came out of the elevator, they ran into many SHIELD agents led by Pierce. Oh no, it should be said that they were SHIELD agents.

Thor was confused about the identity of the visitor, but out of trust in SHIELD, he finally said bluntly:

"Let's go have lunch and then go back to Asgard. May I ask who you are?"

"Alexander Pierce"

Tony immediately introduced Thor, the newcomer, to this guy. This guy has a great background. It is said that Nick Fury was able to become the director of SHIELD thanks to his strong recommendation.

"He is Nick Fury's boss."

"Just call me Secretary General. You can't take that mortal away casually. He has to be dealt with by us."

As soon as these words came out, Thor's newly risen respect immediately disappeared. He would not agree to hand Loki over to the earthlings.

"Loki must be handed over to my father Odin for personal trial. This is the rule of Asgard." However, Pierce didn't care about his words at all, and made his attitude clear directly: "I don't care about Asgard or Odin. Loki has caused such a big mess on Earth, and he must be punished by the laws of Earth!" Then, without giving Thor a chance to refute, Pierce turned his eyes to Lainie. "Give me the two boxes too. They have always belonged to SHIELD for the past seventy years, and they still belong to SHIELD now." Lainie narrowed her eyes and didn't express her opinion. She didn't have any intention of handing over the box. "As for the other one, it's our trophy. Since he is too dangerous, he must be handed over to SHIELD for safekeeping!" After saying this, Lainie finally stopped laughing. "Tsk~ Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, Mr. Secretary General. The spoils you mentioned were actually obtained by our hard work in defeating this guy. You don't own them."

If the two Infinity Stones in her hand were not too high-grade and she couldn't put them in the warehouse at all, Lainie would not give the old man a chance to speak.

"What do you mean, Lainie?"

Pierce's face was very ugly. Lainie's behavior made him very disappointed.

He was only suspicious of Lainie's identity before, but now, Pierce would never believe that Lainie was Hydra!

"Isn't my meaning obvious enough? Mr. Secretary General?"

Laini was not afraid of this guy at all. Just kidding, she was afraid of being attacked by this guy before, but now that she has unlocked the skill of quantum bomb, Lainie is still afraid of him?

All beings are equal under the nuclear bomb. At worst, everyone will perish together!

Pierce stared at Lainie fiercely. If it weren't for his years of experience as an agent, he would probably rush over and punch Lainie in the face at this moment.

"Hmph! Don't think you can do whatever you want with Agent Carter's support. Lainie Stark, I will ask Nick Fury about today's matter!"

Leaving such a polite remark, Alexander Pierce finally gave up asking for the Cosmic Cube because he was no match for these guys, and turned around and left with a group of SHIELD agents.

"Sir, are we just going to let it go?"

After walking a little further, one of the agents tilted his head and looked at Pierce.

"What else? Can you snatch the Cosmic Cube from those guys?"

Pierce's face was very ugly. He didn't expect Lainie to dare to not give him face in front of so many people. It was really embarrassing for him!

"Go back and inform them to speed up the progress of that plan!"

...

As soon as they walked out of Stark Tower, which was surrounded by many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, the Avengers were surrounded by a large group of enthusiastic people and media outside.

"Mr. Stark! Is the alien invasion that just happened an experimental accident caused by Stark Company? Will you be responsible for it?"

"Mr. Stark! Who is this handsome guy next to you? Witnesses said they saw him having the ability to release thunder!"

"Mr. Stark! What were you thinking when you carried a nuclear bomb on your back and headed into outer space?"

"Mr. Stark! Please..."

Many media held their microphones high, ignoring the obstruction of the surrounding SHIELD agents, desperately trying to squeeze in front of the Avengers, trying to dig out some useful information from them.

In addition to pointing the microphone at Tony, some people in the media also targeted Leni.

"Miss Stark! Some witnesses said they saw you transforming into an angel in the sky. How do you explain this?"

When the question was raised, a group of media who had originally planned to target Steve Rogers moved towards the microphone.

After all, compared to the well-known Captain America, Leni, the "angel", is obviously more powerful.

Facing the media who were like hungry wolves smelling meat, Leni could not help but frown. She was about to refuse to answer, but she heard Tony say loudly:

"OK! The Avengers are very tired after the continuous battle just now. Now they are very hungry and have no energy to answer your questions! If you want to know anything, please wait until we have had enough rest before asking! Now, we are going to have lunch !”

Clapping his hands to signal the surrounding SHIELD agents to come and help, Tony stood up in front of everyone and took the lead in blocking the media's offensive for Leni and others.

Roddy on the side saw this and hurried forward to help. He and Tony were used to this kind of thing, so they naturally knew how to solve it.

"We will not answer any of your questions now. Please wait for the subsequent official announcement for detailed information! Sorry, give up!"

Leni looked at the backs of the two people and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

Then he coughed slightly, stretched out his hand and handed one of the suitcases to Natasha beside him, waving his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Ahem! Is your machine broadcasting live now? OK, that's fine."

Leni motioned to one of the photographers carrying the machine to focus the camera on her, then straightened the hair on her forehead and said in a deep voice:

"I believe everyone is confused and even worried about this alien invasion, but please rest assured now that all invaders have been defeated by the Avengers, and the earth is now safe."

"Although the process is a bit difficult, at least the result is good, so you don't have to worry. We will hold a press conference afterwards to announce the truth of the matter to you and answer a series of questions from you."

"Before that, please allow us to take a break. Since last night, all of us have basically not eaten or slept. We really don't have the energy to answer everyone's questions one by one. Please forgive me."

The media all looked at each other in shock after hearing this, but seeing that Leni really did not intend to answer any more questions, they had no choice but to give up.

But just when the Avengers were about to leave, a familiar figure in the media asked loudly:

"Ms. Leni, what do you think of the witnesses who said they saw you transforming into an angel? Don't say it's just our hallucination. I'm one of the witnesses!"

Christine held up the microphone in her hand and stared at Leni's back with burning eyes. She firmly believed that she was not mistaken. The pretty figure in the sky was definitely the Leni she had seen many times!

Hearing this, Leni paused and turned back to glance at the beautiful blonde in the crowd.

She knew this woman, Christine, the famous female reporter from Vanity Fair, the one who had slept with Tony.

Without making any comment on Christine's question, Leni just gave the woman a meaningful smile, then turned around and left the crowd with the Avengers without looking back.
