Chapter 162
The white house was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere in the spacious space.
The No. 1 leader of the United States sat behind a huge desk, his eyes fixed on the screen in front of him, which showed the picture of the big mushroom over the Big Apple City that had not exploded.
When he saw this scene, his tense nerves finally relaxed, and his body slumped in the luxurious office chair with a sense of relief.
This meant that he had successfully escaped a disaster, not only saving his life, but also maintaining his political career.
He took a deep breath, his heart full of gratitude and emotion.
"Quick, check for me! Find out which hero immediately prevented the big mushroom from detonating!" The No. 1 leader ordered the secretary anxiously.
His voice was full of excitement and respect. He knew that this hero not only saved his life, but also saved the entire Big Apple.
"Yes, Chief." The secretary immediately took action and began to investigate the identity of the mysterious hero.
Chief No. 1 turned to other generals and politicians from the federal government, and his tone was full of pride and complacency: "Look, this is our hero! At the critical moment, he alone can change the whole situation.
We should commend him vigorously and let the media across the country report his deeds!"
"Damn SHIELD, damn Hell's Kitchen, damn Lord of Shit Chen Ye, if it weren't for them, how could this happen? Almost everyone here would have lost their lives!" Chief No. 1 continued to scold.
Chief No. 1 hated SHIELD and Lord of Hell Chen Ye, the culprits of all this. If it weren't for their struggle, how could this happen?
The politicians and generals present did not sing against Chief No. 1 this time. It was indeed because of this mysterious hero that they saved their lives.
"I propose that all the people from SHIELD be taken out and shot. Although Nick Fury is dead, it is not enough to calm public opinion!" A federal executive proposed.
"That's right, our military will give this mysterious hero the rank of general!" said a shrewd general.
Hearing the words of this military official, other people who were not in the military secretly cursed in their hearts: "This old fox, he is really quick to act"
The people present didn't understand that as long as this hero was taken under their command, their power would be infinitely stronger!
The people present were caught in a fierce debate, and everyone was eager to bring this legendary hero into their sphere of influence.
Their voices intertwined to form a chaotic symphony.
Some people advocated using honor and status to lure him, while others proposed using money and power to win him over. Various proposals emerged one after another.
At this time, the secretary hurried in. His appearance was like a clear stream that broke through the chaotic vortex, allowing everyone to temporarily stop arguing.
There was a complicated expression on his face, as if he was trying to find the right words to describe what he was going to say next.
"Have you found a hero who can stop the big mushroom? Tell us now!" Leader No. 1 urged anxiously, his eyes full of expectation.
However, the secretary hesitated and did not answer immediately, which made everyone present feel uneasy.
The military began to get impatient, and their faces were full of anger: "Is there anything that can't be said? Come on! This is a good thing! Why not say it!"
"That's right, could it be that this hero is someone who can't be said?" A senior federal official also echoed, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Could it be that it could be the Lord of Hell, Chen Ye?" An executive suddenly joked, trying to ease the tense atmosphere in a relaxed way.
However, when the secretary heard the name "Lord of Hell, Chen Ye", his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found the words he had been looking for.
"Yes, it's the Lord of Hell, Chen Ye." He said the name firmly, with a voice full of certainty.
As soon as these words came out, the senior federal officials looked at each other, their faces full of surprise and disbelief.
In their opinion, Chen Ye was their enemy, how could he be a hero who saved them?
Leader No. 1 slapped the table angrily and shouted: "I warn you, if you joke again, I will shoot you!"
His voice was full of anger and unquestionable majesty.
However, the secretary did not back down. He gritted his teeth and turned on the TV on his own initiative at the risk of his life.
The big screen began to play the video of Chen Ye falling from the sky.
The screen, his figure became clearer and clearer in front of everyone.
Leader No. 1 and the federal officials looked at Chen Ye on the big screen, their faces full of shock and disbelief.
They needed time to digest this fact, their enemy Chen Ye turned out to be their hero, he saved them.
The whole office fell into silence, only Chen Ye's figure on the big screen was constantly enlarged.
Leader No. 1 pondered for a while, and said with a complicated face: "Let's stop the matter against Hell's Kitchen. As long as Chen Ye doesn't do anything harmful, just ignore it, and withdraw the previous remarks against Hell's Kitchen."
As for the things he said he wanted to commend before, Leader No. 1 didn't say it anymore, after all, he didn't expect things to be like this.
Chen Ye turned out to be the hero who saved the Big Apple.
Chen Ye really made Leader No. 1 love and hate him.
The military and the federal government didn't say anything else, they acquiesced to this decision.
They knew that it was meaningless to win over Chen Ye now, and their previous behavior had made Chen Ye deeply hostile to them.
They could only silently hope that Chen Ye would not develop a greater hatred for them because of this.
And those federal governments that did not target Chen Ye were secretly glad that they decided to take the initiative to contact this hero next, hoping to establish a friendly relationship with him.
It was not just the federal high-level people, all the residents of the Big Apple City looked at Chen Ye in disbelief.
Every citizen could not look at Chen Ye on the screen calmly.
His image was familiar to them. In the past few days, his name and face were everywhere, but those reports were negative, all about how he became the evil lord of hell.
However, at this moment, he stood in front of the screen, facing them, as if he had become their savior.
This transformation shocked and confused everyone.
They could not imagine that Chen Ye, who was portrayed as the source of evil, was actually their savior at this moment.
"So, it is not the angels who saved us, but Satan?" A citizen whispered, his voice full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Hell's Kitchen is heaven, and where we are is hell?" Another citizen murmured, as if trying to understand this absurd reality.
"Impossible, all this is fake!" Some people screamed, they could not accept this fact, they would rather believe that this is a dream, a nightmare.
"This is definitely a play directed and performed by the Lord of Hell, just to make us believe him!" Someone else shouted angrily, they could not accept Chen Ye's whitewashing, they thought all this was his conspiracy.
And those who had insulted Hell's Kitchen were now in deep remorse.
They began to reflect on their words and deeds, and began to understand that the real hell was not Hell's Kitchen, but their inner prejudice and ignorance.
However, in the chaos and confusion, some people remained calm.
They decided to wait and see what Chen Ye would say.
