Chapter 270: Free America
"Lin... you really have the guts to think of this. Private armed forces? This is not so easy to pass under American law!"

Chester and Carter looked at each other, both feeling helpless. It would have been fine if Lin Jue didn't speak, but once he opened his mouth it was scary.

"Oh, Chester, you old man, you don't have any sincerity at all. Besides, don't I still have the rank of major general? I can't even have my own private army? Don't be ridiculous, which of those arms giants doesn't have private army?"

"But that's not something that can be said openly, my dear Major General!"

Chester shouted somewhat helplessly.

"Okay, okay, just tell me if it's okay or not. The policies in Great Britain are still good, and I have already left many bases in Africa!"

"...You can start a security company first, just like Great Britain. As for the military base, maybe we can give you a small island, or some land in other colonies of America!"

"Yeah, that's fine! Anyway, you just need to turn a blind eye!"

Lin Jue said nonchalantly that dealing with those politicians was the most tiring, and fortunately he had what they wanted most.

"Tsk, so you were once the most powerful hero in America, why are you starting a company and forming an armed force now?"

Chester was puzzled. In his opinion, Lin Jue already had enough wealth to rival a country, so there was no need for him to develop in business and armaments.

"Tsk, you don't understand this? You are the original founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., and you are hiding some things from me. After all, I am also one of the founders!"

"!"

"No, how did you know? You know, since I let go of SHIELD's control, there are many information that even I can't ask about. Why do I feel that you, who just returned now, know more than me?"

Chester was a little surprised.

"Don't worry about how I know this. Everything I did was just to survive. You have to understand that!"

Lin Jue looked at Carter who was lost in thought and pretended to be curious: "Have you found that guy Steve? I saw the news that he was buried in the glacier in the newspapers, but I don't think that guy will end up like this!"

"Colonel, you are right. We just found him recently. His body is intact, but for some reason, he has not woken up!"

There was a trace of sadness on Carter's face. She had not forgotten the promise she had made with that man and had been waiting until now.

Even after learning about the side effects, he still swallowed Lin Jue's blood of immortality.

"Tsk tsk, then let that guy sleep for a while!"

Lin Jue looked towards the rough sea. He didn't want to get too involved in the matter of Captain America's resurrection as he still needed to deal with some other things.

"I have restored your title to S.H.I.E.L.D., and you also hold the rank of major general. Perhaps someday you can take a look... and see how far the organization we once founded has developed!"

Chester said with a big smile on his face, quite proudly.

Lin Jue looked at Carter and Chester strangely.

These two founders of SHIELD didn't realize that SHIELD had been infiltrated by Hydra?

After thinking about it, Lin Jue still didn't tell Chester directly, not only because he didn't want to destroy the old man's pride, but more importantly, it would not be fun after cleaning up the Hydra...

……

The Evernight Academy in the United States.

At this moment, the original training time has changed due to the addition of new students.

Coming to America from Great Britain, Catherine's face has taken on a certain determination. With her slim figure and brisk steps, she exudes a heroic aura.

At this time, she had become the captain of the special class. Although her combat power was not so outstanding, she achieved the best results in the class in tactical strategy.

At this moment, she and Barak and others looked in surprise at the two unfamiliar faces slowly walking towards them.

"Wow, there's a beautiful girl in our class!"

Barak stared with his eyes wide open, a faint mist surrounding him. He looked in amazement at the girl walking in front of him with her black hair flying.

Catherine just stared at another girl behind the black-haired girl with a stern face and a murderous look.

Compared to the girl in front, the girl behind looked more like a warrior in Catherine's eyes.

"They were arranged by Grand Duke Yongye to enter the Special Academy. They are Bena and Eve. Everyone welcome them!"

Number Three put his hands behind his back and looked at the two girls, who looked a little immature, with a slightly curious look.

"Hello everyone, I am Bella (Eve), we are from a distant country..."

Lina and Eve said hurriedly, their eyes revealing anticipation. This was the first time they stood in a place called school, looking at the young men and women with different appearances in front of them, they knew that they would be their partners in the future.

For them, who have only known each other since childhood, the novelty of this is simply hard to describe. Although they are a little nervous, they still like the feeling of seeing new faces.

"Haha, hello beauties, my name is Barak, and my ability is to control water..."

Barak licked his face quickly, his eyes fixed on Eve, his heart pounding.

Under his lead, the special forces students introduced themselves one after another. "Eve, Bena! You were sent to the academy by His Excellency the Grand Duke of Yongye himself. I believe you know more or less about the situation here. What abilities do you have?"

Catherine, who had matured a lot at this moment, asked first. She was very curious why the two people in front of her could get Lin Jue's attention.

This is extremely rare in special academies!
Everyone's eyes turned to the two of them, and even No. 3 showed an interested look.

He could sense Bena's situation, which was the perception of the same vampire race, but Eve had an extremely different feeling. This strange feeling even brought him a little pressure...

"My abilities are the same as yours, and they were granted to me personally by the respected Lord Yongye Dagong."

Bena said, her eyes looking straight at Catherine who was looking at her, without any fear, because she had noticed that she had been paying attention to her.

"S...same as the instructor?"

"God, I want to be like the instructor..."

"Good boy, it looks like the strongest fighter in our class needs to move to another position!"

All the students looked at each other and saw each other's excitement. They had all fought with No. 3 and naturally knew how powerful the instructor was. The new student in front of them possessed the same abilities and even though he lacked combat experience, he was worthy of their serious treatment.

Everyone looked at Eve with more curiosity, whose face was slightly flushed.

It seemed like the first time that Eve felt the gazes of so many people of her age. She felt her face getting hot, and her mind was filled with memories of the night three days ago.

The jade-white fingers subconsciously touched his neck.

"My abilities have been helped by His Excellency the Grand Duke of Yongye. They are actually similar to those of the instructor... maybe there are some minor differences."

"..."

"It's similar to the instructor..."

The fat man, whose body was like a ball, scratched his head and was a little surprised.

"We can spar with each other later!"

As the strongest boy in the team, the student with great strength couldn't help but suggest.

"Uh-huh!"

Eve nodded her head repeatedly, looking somewhat flattered at the students who gathered around her and seemed particularly enthusiastic.

"Okay! Most of you are from Great Britain. It's time to communicate with the American students."

"Instructor, can we finally leave the restricted area today? Let's go see the world outside!"

Barak spoke in an exaggerated tone and danced excitedly.

"Well, today is a day off. You can play around the entire campus, but remember, no one can step out of the Evernight Academy, let alone leave the Evernight District. I believe your family has more or less told you about America's policy towards mutants. In the Evernight District, no one dares to hurt you, but if you go out, everything will be unpredictable!"

Number Three said softly with a serious expression.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Then, he left the spacious training room under the watchful eyes of No. 3.

"Hehe, are you watching them too closely?"

After saying this in a teasing tone, No. 3 slowly turned around and looked at the man who had jumped down from the window eaves more than five meters high.

boom!
With his knees half bent, the man stepped on the ground easily and steadily.

"No. 5, why didn't you go and track down that wolf cub? Why did you suddenly return to the academy?"

Number Three said this somewhat unhappily, and in his heart he couldn't help but mourn for the guy targeted by Number Five.

"Tsk, that guy has a good sense and seems to be able to avoid me in advance. He is a cunning guy!"

Wu Hao smiled nonchalantly, but the scarlet light that flashed in his eyes exuded a certain hostility.

"Recently, the American government has been arresting mutants on a large scale. No. 3, you are right. Those guys seem to be afraid that mutants will replace humans. Tsk tsk."

"At first I didn't understand why His Excellency the Grand Duke of Evernight wanted to place the main development center of his power in America. Now I understand. The number of mutants here is far greater than that of other regions."

Number Three looked at the instrument embedded in his wrist, his fingers constantly swiping across the screen, and unfamiliar faces came into view. The character information on it were all the latest mutants discovered by Yongye.

Some of them have been successfully recruited, but more are still in the stage of observation and doubt. Some people’s profile pictures have even turned dark, and it is obvious that they are either gone or have been captured by the US government.

Looking at those dim avatars and the recent policies regarding mutants introduced by the United States.

“This country is creating new chains of discrimination…”
