Chapter 118 After the Turmoil
Until the very moment the portal closed completely—
Like an arrow released from a bow, Qin Wuying burst through the doorway, which could barely accommodate one person.
On his back was Tony, who was already unconscious.
Even now, everyone's breathing is still very rapid, and they haven't relaxed yet.
Having been exposed to the cosmic environment for so long, no one knows how Tony is doing now.
Qin Wuying slowly flew to the rooftop and gently placed Tony on the ground.
"Quick, open his mask and let him breathe some more air."
As Natasha spoke, she placed her fingers between the mask and the surrounding seams—
With a little force, Iron Man's mask was removed.
Tony appeared before everyone with a tired face, and he didn't react at all.
"Is he...is he still alive?"
Steve's hand trembled as he reached towards Tony's nose to check for breath.
Thor, unable to bear watching this scene, simply turned away.
Steve's fingers were getting closer and closer to the other person's nose, and he was shaking more and more violently.
He was terrified that he himself would be the one to deliver that unfortunate final verdict.
"Hey, you guys know what? I actually went to a really good barbecue place."
Just as he was about to touch her breath, Tony opened his eyes and said this.
"Oh my god! You scared the hell out of me!"
Qin Wuying rushed forward immediately and hugged Tony tightly.
Without Iron Man's help, he really didn't know how difficult the road ahead would have been.
More importantly, after so long, he and Tony had long since become close friends.
Sometimes, Qin Wuying didn't even know if everything that happened to him in this world was real—
With the mindset of making the most of each day, he resolutely decided to stay here.
The sight of Tony still alive before him, and the jubilant emotions of the Avengers around him, infected his senses.
This moment is the most real.
"Haha, haha." Thor patted Tony on the shoulder.
"Playboy, you're lucky," Steve joked with a laugh, realizing what was going on.
Barton and Natasha, standing nearby, exchanged a smile.
Banner, now back to human form, showed a relieved expression.
Dr. Selvig's terrified expression relaxed—now no one would hold him responsible.
We all sat together on the rooftop, feeling sore hands and feet, and utterly exhausted.
"Beep beep, beep beep."
Just then, Qin Wuying's communication device rang at an inopportune moment.
He glanced at it and saw that it was Nick Fury calling.
Good grief, you didn't offer any real support when we were fighting this battle, and now you're asking for it.
Qin Wuying decisively hung up, while simultaneously considering how to proceed.
"That barbecue place wasn't actually that good; they changed chefs."
Two days later, Qin Wuying said the following in a secret remote conference room of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The people on the screens in front of them were clearly very dissatisfied.
"This is the battle report you're supposed to submit? That's way too perfunctory!"
"It's not just being perfunctory, it's downright arrogant. How did someone like you get into S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
A middle-aged European male member of the global parliament was the first to raise the issue, and another African member of similar age immediately followed suit.
Qin Wuying glanced at the two men; both had their hair slicked back and were dressed in designer clothes.
That aura of looking down on others can be smelled from ten miles away.
"If a nuclear bomb were to explode in New York City, guess who would give the report?"
Faced with the councilor's questioning, Qin Wuying showed no intention of backing down.
You people who occupy high positions in the government made the decision to sacrifice us all—
Why should we have to take orders from a bunch of incompetent guys now?
The members of parliament exchanged glances, realizing that they were indeed somewhat in the wrong regarding the nuclear issue.
However, one of them quickly came up with a solution.
"Our responsibility is the safety of the planet, not your personal safety, and even you must obey."
The young senator shook his head dramatically as he spoke.
Sure enough, when they realized they were in the wrong, they chose to stand on the moral high ground.
"Really? How do you know we can't handle it?"
"Because the situation was already dire... Where are the men?"
The young councilor had only been looking down to organize his documents when he looked up again and found that Qin Wuying was gone.
And someone is behind you, with their hand on your shoulder.
Like a rusty robot, the young senator turned his stiff neck—
"Ahhhhh!" Qin Wuying's smile seemed to have startled the councilor.
"Even if you decide to launch a nuclear missile, you won't consult us beforehand?"
Qin Wuying teleported back to the conference room and continued his one-sided attack, "Ultimately, it's because you want to kill us all at once."
Upon hearing this, the members of parliament were immediately taken aback.
"Looks like I was right, this is your real purpose. Killing two birds with one stone, how brilliant."
Qin Wuying took a sip of the orange juice on the table and wiped her hands.
These incompetent members of the global parliament pose no real threat to him.
"You have absolutely no evidence to prove that we intend to..."
"Enough! This is my decision; I'm just informing you in advance."
Qin Wuying reached out and stopped the councilor who was trying to argue, preventing him from continuing.
A list was then sent to the members' computer screens.
This is a series of new demands that the Avengers have made to the Global Council.
This includes increasing funding, providing more support and greater freedom, and so on.
"What if we don't approve it for you?"
The congressman, mustering his courage, deliberately asked in a loud voice.
This bluffing trick was immediately seen through. Qin Wuying placed his hand on his neck and symbolically made two strokes.
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
A few seconds later, the sound of signatures rang out, and Qin Wuying's list was approved.
"See? It's very easy."
As Qin Wuying walked out of the meeting room, he waved the list of signatures that the councilors had faxed over.
Nick Fury knew he was in the wrong and said nothing.
After this great battle with the Chitauri army, the Avengers began a new life.
Natasha and Patton are relentlessly engaged in new training for aliens;
Tony now has a direction and motivation to create a new suit of armor;
Captain America began to try to adapt to modern life and get closer to people;
Banner also got a long vacation, which allowed him to better adjust his mental state.
Thor returned to Asgard and continued to assist Odin with various affairs.
Qin Wuying finally got the rest he wanted and took Lucy on a trip around the world for a while.
However, in a timeline rife with problems—
Such brief periods of peace and beauty are destined not to last long.
