Chapter 209: The arrangements for the black braised eggs are crystal clear!
Therefore, the only trump card Blackie can rely on is the support of the US president. This would allow him to use Riley's sense of belonging to the country to morally blackmail him.
But here's the problem...
Putting aside the fact that Riley is merely a reincarnated Chinese person disguised as a European, this alone eliminates the possibility of him being morally blackmailed…
As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, who was used to being high and mighty, obviously only noticed how terrifyingly fast Riley's strength had improved in just three months.
However, what was overlooked was that Riley had long since shed his status as an illegal vigilante and become a legitimate, officially recognized District 13 agent!
And, during the same period, Riley quietly amassed a terrifying network of connections and influence, exerting a tremendous impact on those he came into contact with!
For example, District 13 was once considered by the US government as a replacement for S.H.I.E.L.D....
After a series of events, and with the arrival of various powerful figures, District Thirteen has long since shed its "human machine" label. It has become a truly powerful entity capable of intimidating all who dare to challenge it!
Even setting aside the high-end combat force comprised of superheroes like Riley, the research team alone, comprised of genius scientists like Otto, Connors, and Banner, would be enough to revolutionize the combat equipment of District Thirteen!
So much so that, faced with the thriving state of District 13, Sheriff Black was not only deeply gratified, but also understood Riley's importance better than anyone else!
This is why Sheriff Blake goes to great lengths to ensure the safety of the rear...
Isn't it precisely because Sheriff Black fears that one day, someone like Black Egg might appear, whose life has been too smooth sailing, or Riley's approachable demeanor. This could lead to someone with nothing better to do than try to frame Riley with fabricated charges, attempting to provoke him into a darker state. And thus, a useless teammate who drastically increases the difficulty of an originally easy challenge!
Therefore, all Riley had to do was to immediately and truthfully relay the idea of the black braised egg to Sheriff Black.
Then, Sheriff Black, terrified and wide awake, would naturally pat his chest and assure Riley that he would handle the matter properly! He would reassure Riley to continue dealing with all the crises coming from the outside world as usual!
Of course, Sheriff Blake's words were not just casual boasting or empty talk.
Instead, Sheriff Blake had already prepared a corresponding contingency plan for this kind of backstabbing from an allied teammate.
For example, from the day Riley joined District 13, Sheriff Black had been trying to gradually improve Riley's status in District 13 through reasonable and legal procedures.
Furthermore, when his superiors came to inspect District 13, he made no secret of the fact that Riley would eventually succeed him as the next sheriff of District 13! In this way, he conveyed to the US government in advance that "Spider-Man" was trustworthy!
Based on this alone, Sheriff Black's greatness and foresight are beyond doubt!
Incidentally, Sheriff Black also understood that, given Riley's personality, he wouldn't spend all day in District 13 diligently dealing with those tedious official documents.
Therefore, this statement was merely intended to increase Riley's credibility and avoid the trouble caused by a crisis of trust. It did not force Riley to actually take over as sheriff.
Along with Jade, who had won the favor of Sheriff Black, who had no children, from the very beginning and was pampered by him like his own daughter, the shrewd Sheriff Black was preparing as the true successor for the future District 13!
In the original storyline, Jade's wish to visit the Deer Park was conveyed simply through a phone call from Uncle Jackie. Despite his busy schedule, Sheriff Black made time to personally take Jade there. This clearly demonstrates just how much Sheriff Black dotes on Jade.
in this case……
District 13, a secret organization completely subservient to the US government.
In peacetime, they obey orders but not commands, spending money like water. They even occasionally dare to openly defy S.H.I.E.L.D., showing no respect whatsoever…
Which one is more convenient to use and more trustworthy...?
Unless someone is an idiot, they should be able to figure things out.
Moreover, Riley's backers are not limited to District 13 alone.
After witnessing Spider-Man's terrifying power during the pursuit of Hulk.
General Ross not only reconciled with Banner, but like Commissioner Black, he was genuinely afraid of having a bad teammate on his side who would push Spider-Man into the enemy camp!
So much so that General Ross, who seemed to have disappeared, actually met with Sheriff Black and had a long and fruitful conversation that lasted all night. This experience broadened General Ross's horizons, and he immediately decided to enter the political arena!
Then, with the help of the extensive network of contacts that General Ross had built up over the years in the military, he ran for the next US president!
So that, like Commissioner Black, they could become a strong support for Spider-Man. And through this kindness and gratitude, the grateful Spider-Man could continue to stay in this country!
After all, keeping a "Spider-Man" doesn't cost much, and you can even make a fortune from time to time.
But if Spider-Man is forced to defect, that would be a real disaster!
And that's why, when Ross finally achieved his goal and was promoted from general to president...
On the surface, he has President Ross's protection; secretly, he has Sheriff Black's District 13 backing him up...
Riley, who already has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, has nothing to fear even if he really breaks ties with Black Lu Dan!
After all, Riley's side is united, and there is no possibility of internal strife.
As for the black braised eggs...
He probably still hasn't expected this...
Just like the water plant in the Detective Conan show next door, the only people who actually do the work are Gin and Vodka...
For S.H.I.E.L.D., which Nick Fury was once very proud of...
He, the bureau chief, is the complete "outsider"!
Therefore, if Nick Fury overdoes his red beans and really angers Riley, Riley won't even need these two big shots to back him up, let alone personally step in to overturn the table.
All it takes is to anonymously send Nick Fury the information about S.H.I.E.L.D. gathered so far, leveraging the spoiler advantage of being a time traveler, to the naturally suspicious Nick Fury. That would be enough to keep the paranoid man busy investigating any moles within S.H.I.E.L.D., thus attracting S.H.I.E.L.D.'s pursuit and purge.
By then, let alone continuing to scheme against Riley...
There's a good chance that Black Lu Dan, who's desperate, might have to kneel down and beg Riley for help!
Thus, at the time when Black Egg's plan against Riley was still only at the "creating a new document" stage.
Riley had already arranged everything perfectly for the black braised eggs without making a sound!
Of course, Riley, who doesn't consider himself a great philanthropist, will definitely retaliate against Black Ludan after learning about his intentions.
So, with Hei Xiaoyu's divine assistance, they confirmed that the four members of the Celestial Palace were heading towards Earth.
Based on this, Riley guessed that Loki would soon deploy the Destroyer armor to Earth to hunt down Thor and the Asgardian quartet.
He then instructed Coulson to dispatch personnel to evacuate the civilians, while deliberately emphasizing repeatedly that if Coulson detected any abnormal energy data indicating spatial fluctuations, he must not bring any elite members of S.H.I.E.L.D. to the scene for investigation!
Then, although Coulson trusted Riley, he still chose to report Riley's suggestion to Black Egg as soon as possible due to the rules and regulations.
As expected, Black Egg mistakenly thought that Riley's words were an attempt to monopolize the benefits brought by the alien technology.
And so, logically, just as Riley had predicted...
Shortly after the Asgardian quartet arrived on Earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. used the specialized detection equipment they had "temporarily borrowed" from Jane Foster and her team to pinpoint the coordinates of their arrival.
Driven by a short-sighted desire to bolster S.H.I.E.L.D.'s overall strength in order to counter the "malicious" Spider-Man's black eggs, they completely ignored Riley's well-intentioned warnings. They issued a firm order for Coulson to personally lead a team to investigate the location where the Asgardian quartet had arrived!
And so, because of Hei Ludan's stubbornness...
Instead of hiding behind Riley and the others and safely weathering the crisis, the S.H.I.E.L.D. team was forced to become the first line of defense against the Destroyer armor invasion, as if they were rushing to their deaths!
