Chapter 336

Regarding Daken's attack, both Charles and Logan expressed their apologies. And Daken is still in the frozen state of the Iceman.

For this matter, it is difficult for Li Jie to do too much research on the professor or Wolverine. He was just comforting Katie and giving her the prepared gift. Before leaving, he said something meaningful to Professor Charles. "This child may be in unusual danger. Professor, maybe you should take good care of him."

"Also, I think you should investigate whether someone is abetting him to do certain things. This is not a good thing for him."

Watching Li Jie drive away in his Ford car, Logan exchanged glances with the professor. Both of them saw the strong worry in the other's eyes.

Li Jie didn't know why Daken wanted to attack him. And the best way to do this is to leave it to the professor and Wolverine to investigate it themselves. After all, Daken had just come to America, and Logan had just recognized this son.

If I get too deep into it, who knows if Logan will beat him up with his son in defense of his shortcomings? So, from ancient times to the present, the problem of bear children is the most difficult to solve. Thinking of this, Li Jie could only shake his head helplessly.

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Hill was lying on the sofa in his office exhausted, and the work pressure of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was staggering. She just came back from Washington today.

There is only one purpose for her to go to Washington, and that is to ask for money. Because of the reduction of employee benefits, there are already complaints within S.H.I.E.L.D. Many employees have even started looking for part-time jobs, or are already preparing to look for new jobs.

This made her, acting chief, feel even more difficult.

"If only Nick had persuaded Tony Stark to join the Avengers." Hill lay on the sofa and muttered to himself, feeling sorry for not fooling Tony into it.

If Tony Stark had joined the Avengers, then at least the Avengers would have had a big sponsor. SHIELD may be able to draw out the budget needed for the Avengers to subsidize other daily expenses within the bureau.

But now everything is an afterthought. Failed to recruit Tony Stark. Then it is even more impossible now. It is true that Tony is rich, but he is not stupid.

Now we know that S.H.I.E.L.D. is a fire pit, and funds are tight. At this time, a world-class rich man like him jumped in, and he was going to be slaughtered as if he was taken advantage of.

Although the original creation of S.H.I.E.L.D. was indeed founded by his father, Howard Stark. But Tony doesn't have any feelings for S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, it's not the Stark Group. He has no obligation to support the rise and fall of this organization.

It must be said that because of Li Jie's participation, many things have changed. The biggest change for S.H.I.E.L.D. is that Tony has become an outsider. He stops as a bystander instead of stepping in to wade into the muddy water.

Hill lay on the sofa without even a thought of moving her fingers, she was too tired. She thought of the treatment she had suffered in Washington, and even Bujuno, a member of the Security Council who had always supported Nick, said sorry to her.

"You know Hill. This time S.H.I.E.L.D. is involved in a complicated political battle. Nick Fury was arrested not because he did anything wrong. It was simply because someone wanted to replace him. "Bujunuo warned Hill in a low voice in a place where no one was around.

"You need to understand about the budget. Although the approval process within the Security Council is independent, it is more or less influenced by Congress or other departments."

"You need to understand that the military has always been represented as a separate faction in the American political system. While it is said that the military should not be involved in politics, who can really fully do that."

"The super high budget of S.H.I.E.L.D. has always dissatisfied representatives of the military and a considerable number of members of Congress. You occupy the budget equivalent to one-sixth of military expenditures, but less than one-tenth of the U.S. military The number of people. This has attracted the envy of quite a few people."

"The members of the Council also have to take into account the opinions of members of Congress and the military. You have to know Hill, the members of the Security Council are not life-long. One day the members will step down, and they have to contribute to their future politics. career considerations."

Buruno said all this to Hill with earnestness and earnestness, and also told Hill from an indirect direction. Things you want to budget are out of the question. It is also true that Hill has no energy at all since he returned from Washington.

Without funds, all planning and construction is empty talk. The structure of the new safety net needs money, and the research and development of the scientific research department needs money.

It also takes money to track down the remnants of the vampires that caused the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. that day, not to mention that it takes more money to track down the remnants of Hydra.

Thinking of this, Hill was extremely annoyed. She couldn't help but climbed up from the sofa, and violently overturned the coffee table made of stainless steel in front of the sofa. "Fuck him xxxxx!"

Bang! With a loud bang, the stainless steel coffee table fell to the ground. Hill put her hands on her waist and panted heavily, because the movement of turning the table just now was too big, so her hair was a little messy.

Hill's chest rose and fell to the rhythm of her breathing. It took half a minute for this emotion to subside.

"Huh!" Hill let out a breath, like a deflated ball, no longer the angry look just now. She straightened her hair and clothes. Then put the overturned tea table in its original position.

Try to restore everything as if nothing happened, but the corner of the stainless steel coffee table is bruised, which cannot be concealed.

When she has done all this and is ready to go into today's busy and annoying work. Her secretary sent Captain Rogers a request for a meeting.

"Good afternoon, Hill." Rogers greeted briskly. As soon as he entered the office, he found that something had happened to the stainless steel coffee table beside him.

"Ahem." Hill coughed twice, drawing Captain Rogers' attention back and preventing him from looking at the coffee table. "What's the matter, Captain?"

"Oh, I heard you're back. So I want to ask, is the budget discussion in Washington going well this time?" Hill felt that the anger he had just calmed down might rise again.

She tried to take two deep breaths before suppressing her emotions. But Rogers didn't need Hill to answer, he had already guessed the result. "It seems that the result is not optimistic?"

"Yes, you guessed it right!" Hill said listlessly as he spread it out in his office chair like a deflated ball. "They are not going to pay us a dime more. Maybe from next month, several projects in the scientific research department will be suspended first, and they will start when they have money."

"It's probably the first time in history that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has become like me." Hill said with some self-mockery.

Captain Rogers smiled and was not affected by Hill's emotions. "Sill, do you know the true meaning of the phrase (crying babies get milk)?"

Hill slumped in the office chair, his eyebrows shrugged. "What's the meaning?"

"I mean, when a baby is crying, parents always think the baby is hungry or needs a diaper change. That's when they think about doing those things." Rogers sat across from Hill.

"If you're doing nothing, your parents probably won't realize you're hungry."

"I tried my best to make trouble, captain. But it didn't work." Hill felt that his energy had been drained by the position of director.

Rogers looked at the exhausted Hill and clapped his hands. "Maybe not enough. At least not what Deadpool did to Hawkeye."

Hill looked into Captain Rogers' eyes, and suddenly couldn't guess what the captain wanted to do.
