Using Lloyd Lastman’s computer, Skye managed to find Fanchard’s bill, then found Rayner’s name and obtained his recent cash flow.

Excited, Skye hurriedly texted Wesley just as Victoria Hand was ordering the plane to take off, though Melinda May refused her request.

“Agent Melinda, I’m sure you’re well aware of the consequences of insubordination,” Victoria Hand said.

John Garrett set out first and quickly brought back a black market merchant. He told her that he had sold Chitari metal and told her the location. Victoria Hand wanted to attack immediately.

Wesley had not yet returned to the plane. Taking off at this time would undoubtedly leave Wesley behind. How could Melinda May agree to this?

“Of course I know the consequences, but I think you know the consequences of leaving the operations commander alone.” Melinda May did not give in. This plane uses six engines. Although it is huge, the structure of the plane is strong and can withstand high-speed flight. It moves very fast.

While the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Wesley returned to the base. When he boarded the plane, he heard their argument. “Oh, are you sure you want to take off now?” Wesley suddenly appeared while they were arguing and made everyone shut up.

“Who gave you the right to order the plane to take off?” Wesley looked at Victoria Hand and asked, “Are you full of yourself or are you just going to do it? Last time I acted, you didn’t announce the whole operation. Now you want to throw me away. Do you have a problem?”

“I’m just buying time,” Victoria Hand said.

John Garrett stayed to the side as if nothing had happened. He had not spoken since he brought his men back. He had completely kept himself out of it and was stalling for time. Wesley knew very well that what he wanted was time. Getting the secret of Phil Coulson’s resurrection would be enough for him to complete the third stage of the serum. Then he would have succeeded.

“Melinda, lock up Victoria Hand,” Wesley suddenly said.

“What?” Victoria Hand shouted in surprise. “You want to lock me up? Who gave you the right?”

“In view of your attitude many times, I have reason to suspect your purpose. Now that I am the commander of this operation, I naturally have the right to hold you for the time being.” Wesley was expressionless, and Melinda May was stunned for a moment. Then she immediately acted and directly escorted Victoria Hand into the interrogation room. The black market merchants who were captured were directly transferred to the detention room of the base.

Skye’s confidence had been sent back and she was now driving there. Wesley needed to get going immediately. “Agent John Garrett, I need to take a team out. There’s a suspicious location that needs to be looked at. You’re in charge here for the time being. I don’t want the same thing to happen.”

“Don’t worry, why don’t I lead the team?” John Garrett said.

“No, the other side has super soldiers. Just in case, it’s better for me to go.” Wesley himself led the assault team to the rescue. In the car, he sent a message to Melinda May.

It had been almost 48 hours since Phil Coulson was kidnapped. The person he met that day was actually John Garrett. This was different in American dramas. Phil Coulson felt that there was something wrong with his body, and at the same time, his memory of Tahiti was very vague. Every time he recalled a scene, he was very confused about it, so he wanted to find out how he was resurrected, or was he really only dead for 40 seconds?

Nick Fury had to know the secret, so he wanted to find Nick Fury. However, the director was unpredictable. He could not communicate with him directly by phone, and Nick Fury had the intention to avoid Phil Coulson.

Therefore, it was not easy for Phil Coulson to find him, so he contacted John Garrett directly. However, it was not John Garrett who came to see him, but Grant Ward. This was a supervillain among the SHIELD agents. On the day of the meeting, Grant Ward destroyed the parking lot surveillance, ambushed Phil Coulson, and took him away.

Los Angeles and San Francisco in California are both densely populated cities, but most of them are very desolate and there are even deserts. There is a small town here that looks eerie because the town is almost deserted and full of mannequins. The mannequins of men, women, and children look very strange, and this place has just been bought and turned into private land.

Edison Bo, a former naval strategic staff officer, was facing this Phil Coulson. His methods were unusually cruel, and he believed that pain could bring people to their knees. Phil Coulson was tortured on the first day of his kidnapping, but this was nothing to him. As a level eight agent, his willpower was unusually strong. Even when facing Loki alone, he had never been afraid.

Rena came here after dealing with some things. She didn’t approve of Edison Bo’s methods. She trusted her own abilities more. But she wasn’t in charge here now. Grant Ward secretly reported the situation to John Garrett, who expressed disappointment in Edison Bo.

Disappointment meant that it was useless. Grant Ward called Rainer over. “It’s up to you now. Clairvoyant is very disappointed in him.” Grant Ward pointed at Edison Bo, then took out his pistol and shot him without hesitation.

Rena’s heart beat fast for a while. She had always been in awe of Clairvoyant. Now she could say that she was a spy from three sides, and whether or not the other party knew she had no idea. Clairvoyant could be one step ahead of others in every incident. Rena once believed that the other party had a mind-reading ability, but after she accepted the identity of S.H.I.E.L.D. informant, the other party did not take any action. In that case, this mind-reading ability might be fake.

She had a chance to make a phone call, but she didn’t use it because Phil Coulson was in no danger for the time being. At the same time, the secret he knew could start the third stage of the serum experiment. For that, she planned to talk to Phil Coulson alone first.

She poured a glass of ice water and took it into the room. There was no one else there. “Agent Phil Coulson, we meet again. I think you need to rest now.”

Phil Coulson looked around, his meaning clear: Is it safe here? Rena smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I bought this place. They didn’t have time to set it up. It seems to be in a hurry.”

“That’s right. They should be in a hurry. Wesley and the others will find this place soon.” Phil Coulson took a sip of ice water. The cold water entered his stomach and the pain in his body seemed to ease a lot. “Now they have replaced you?”
