Inside the Avengers Compound office, the atmosphere was silent and oppressive.
Tony sat in his chair, troubled, chewing on dried blueberries, his gaze occasionally glancing at Steve on the sofa opposite him.
The two remained silent.
Only the sound of Tony eating the dried blueberries could be heard.
With the recent fallout from the Germany incident, official pressure was mounting.
The solution Hode proposed was good, but the current situation made it impossible to execute.
Unless there is a good opportunity, there is no chance to change the public relations image and reputation of the Avengers and Wanda.
“Do you intend to just sit there like that?”
Tony slammed the dried blueberries onto the desk, his gaze turning to Steve, who was looking down and playing with his phone in silence.
“What else can be done? The only thing that can change everything is to make General Ross retract his statement!”
Steve looked at Tony with a cold face.
General Ross’s current intent is to control the Avengers, and this public opinion is undoubtedly under his direction.
Otherwise, relying solely on these media outlets, it would be absolutely impossible to expand the influence to this extent.
“Going to talk to Wanda about this matter is better than just sitting here!”
Tony walked up to Steve, suppressing his anger as he spoke: “Don’t forget, that mission in Germany was organized by you!”
“It is true that I organized it, but haven’t you ever made mistakes?!”
Steve Rogers gritted his teeth and glared at Tony Stark.
He admitted that the previous incident was an accident, but that was not his intention.
Furthermore, he hadn’t thought it would be that serious!
“Me? I have been trying to clean up the mess for you all this time!”
“Do you know how many media outlets I have contacted? I have been trying to find a way!”
Tony clenched his fists and roared in a low voice.
And what about the so-called Captain America?
Just clinging to his own ethereal ideals, and then sitting here motionless!
It would be a lie to say he wasn’t angry; if he had so much time, even going to persuade Wanda would have been better!
“Heh, you weren’t like this when you were in Sokovia before.”
Steve clenched his fists, his breathing becoming rapid: “Countless people lost their lives because of it, no! They lost their lives because of you!”
“You think this is my…”
Tony was about to retort when he heard the sound of the office door being pushed open behind him.
He turned to look, only to see Black Widow Natasha standing frozen at the doorway.
Natasha shrugged her shoulders, her tone teasing, making the air in the office feel less heavy.
“Is there something up?”
Tony casually picked up the dried blueberries and started chewing.
“I think you should take a look at this!”
Natasha turned on the TV.
What came into view was the scene of Wanda putting out the fire.
Clearly, a large number of citizens were surrounding Wanda, constantly cheering and shouting.
[Today at 13:41, Avengers member Scarlet Witch prevented a fire from spreading in the city center…]
The reporter’s voice came from within.
Seeing this, Tony’s gloomy expression softened considerably: “Wanda awakened a new ability?”
If he remembered correctly, although Wanda could indeed suppress flames, she had no way to turn flames into frost.
Now, this was the only possibility that could explain everything they saw.
“I didn’t expect that we didn’t even notice!”
Steve Rogers said, his expression surprised.
They were basically all in the Avengers Compound; logically speaking, they should have known if she had awakened a new ability.
Yet she had awakened the ability without a sound, and even used it to save so many citizens.
“This must have just awakened, because Wanda’s expression is still a bit strained.”
Natasha swung the remote in her hand and continued with a thoughtful look: “But what’s more important now is that this incident has gradually changed the media’s reporting on Wanda!”
After all, with so many citizens as witnesses, the media certainly couldn’t change this report arbitrarily.
This was a great opportunity for them; if handled well, it might be possible to reverse the impact of the previous Germany incident.
“Don’t worry, I will have the media operate on this properly, and do everything possible to change everyone’s impression!”
Tony tapped his earpiece lightly with his finger.
“Call Pepper!”
After the call connected, he went straight to the point: “Pepper, help me arrange some PR, and then go pick up Wanda!”
Having been in the business world for so many years, he was already very familiar with these operations.
The most important thing now was to strike while the iron is hot, taking this opportunity to find a way to restore their reputation in one go.
“However, Wanda seems to be in a very good mood.”
Natasha Romanoff watched the smile brimming on Wanda’s face in the footage and couldn’t help but exclaim.
She hadn’t seen Wanda smile for a long time.
“By the way, how did Wanda suddenly have a breakthrough?”
Just a few days ago, she was still in a depressed state.
But now she was like a different person, and even her abilities had become more powerful.
“Perhaps, she finally figured things out!”
Natasha Romanoff was also infected by Wanda’s smile and said with a smile.
Things seemed to be slowly taking a turn for the better at this moment.
Tony smiled and said: “We’ll know when she gets back.”
At this moment, in Queens, New York.
[Ding! You have helped Wanda overcome her inner demons and restored her reputation!]
[Reward obtained: Kamen Rider Kabuto Zecter!]
Hode leaned against a wall not far away, watching Wanda, who was accepting an interview, when a notification sound suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Kamen Rider Kabuto Zecter]: Use this Zecter to transform into Kamen Rider Kabuto; it requires the Zecter’s recognition.
“Kamen Rider Kabuto Zecter!”
“Wanda is truly full of treasures! Every single reward is top-tier!”
Hode couldn’t help but be overjoyed; he hadn’t expected to receive a reward for this.
The Kamen Rider Kabuto Zecter is the transformation device for Kamen Rider Kamen Rider Kabuto.
Yes, that narcissist who walks the path of heaven and governs all.
However, few people would refuse his transformation device; when Hode was a boy, he often fantasized about owning a Rider Belt.
“Mr. Hode, since it’s all over, I’ll be going now. I hope we have a chance to cooperate in the future. Please say goodbye to Wanda for me.”
Seeing more and more media, Gwen took the initiative to speak.
She didn’t like those annoying media types coming to ask her questions later.
“Goodbye.”
Hode waved his hand, watching the girl’s back disappear among the tall buildings, and thought to himself: “It seems I’ll have to wait until later to get to know her properly.”
At this moment, a row of black luxury cars drove in from the distance.
“I should go back too.”
Seeing the special vehicles from Stark Industries appear, Hode prepared to leave.
He knew Tony would definitely make good use of this opportunity to salvage the Avengers’ reputation.
Thereby crushing General Ross’s schemes against the Avengers.
As he left, he did not forget to send a message using telepathic power.
[Hode]: See you when you’re free, enjoy today’s glory.
[Wanda]: “Thank you for today.”
