Chapter 248: Buying Land and Building a House

Wesley’s words brought the hearing to a climax. The atmosphere was very lively, and everyone was actively involved in the discussion.

Mess. It was a mess now. The surrounding reporters could not calm down after Wesley finished speaking. There was no point in holding the hearing anymore. Their reason for disbanding SHIELD was no longer valid.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of the joint hearing was to dissolve S.H.I.E.L.D. through a mistrust proposal, but Wesley exposed some things directly. The United States government is now in a crisis of trust, and their mistrust proposal has completely lost its effect on S.H.I.E.L.D. If S.H.I.E.L.D.’s mistrust proposal passes, what will happen to the U.S. Congress and the U.S. military?

Wesley got up and buttoned his suit jacket again. Then he said, “I am also a member of the Avengers Alliance and have special abilities. Most people call it ‘mind reading’. If the United States Congress and the military need my help, you can make an appointment with my personal assistant. I can help you catch those lurkers. Of course, I charge by the hour.” Wesley exposed his ability, which is very powerful.

With that, Wesley called for Saul and Steve Rogers to leave. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, “S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Divine Realm have reached a strategic alliance. Strategic cooperation will soon begin, including defense and technology.” With that, he left directly. The reporters began to chase after the three of them, but the three of them did not say anything else and got into the car and left.

The fallout around the world continued, but it had nothing to do with Wesley. He was ready to go home now.

Maria Hill and Wesley sat in the director’s office and drank coffee. Then Maria Hill said, “Are you leaving SHIELD?”

“That’s right. SHIELD basically doesn’t need me anymore, and it’s not good for SHIELD for me to stay here. I have offended the United States government in this hearing, and my status in SHIELD is beyond my current level. It’s not good for you to accept the position of Director.” Wesley took a sip of coffee.

“But you can’t completely leave S.H.I.E.L.D. How about this? You can be the liaison for S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers, and the Realm of the Gods. You are familiar with all three places. This position is most suitable for you. It is equivalent to the existence of a consultant. I will promote you to level eight.” Maria Hill still needs Wesley’s help, especially since her influence on the Avengers is very low, and Nick Fury has begun to become invisible and will not give her much help.

“Not a bad position, but now I need a vacation. The house is a mess,” Wesley said.

“Sure, I’ll contact you if there’s anything. And we did find a few difficult guys. They’ll be sent to the New York branch office later. It’s up to you then.”

“Don’t worry.” Wesley put down his coffee, then got up and left. He came straight back to the plane. He needed to talk to Sky and the others.

Skye stayed on the plane. She couldn’t help with what was going on below. Now she was still a first-class agent. Even if she could be promoted this time, it wouldn’t be now. SHIELD was busy. Wesley sat down beside her and then said, “I’m going home. Will you come with me for a few days?”

“Home? No, no, no, now is not the time. I am not ready.” Sky shook his head hurriedly.

“Okay, but I won’t come back to this team in the future. My mission is over. You have grown up. Remember to call me more often.”

“Why?” Sky asked in surprise.

“When the time is up, I naturally have to leave. Back then, I also came over to help, but now the time is up, you need to continue to train hard. You can’t be lazy when I’m not here. When the time comes, I will check your figure.” The two of them were intimate for a long time before Wesley left. He called Phil Coulson directly and then left.

When Wesley returned to New York, Carlos was preparing to see the house with Hannah and Mindy. Wesley joined in directly. Everyone was looking forward to their new home.

Phillip went all out, as always. He came to New York himself, and then looked up property information, and then chose a few places, and their apartment was already under repair.

When Wesley arrived at the house, Phillip was holding some real estate introductions and explaining them to Carlos and the others. Mindy ran straight over when she saw Wesley coming back. “You’re finally back.” Mindy jumped directly into Wesley’s arms. Wesley quickly hugged her, but Mindy had grown a little taller and was no longer the small person she used to be.

“You’re back? How long can you stay this time?” Carlos asked.

“It can be for a long time. I won’t be an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore, but now I’m a liaison, responsible for the main liaison work. There will be a lot of time. How about it? Have you chosen a place?”

Holding a pile of real estate information, Hannah said, “I don’t know which one to choose? They all seem good?”

Wesley took the information and glanced at it. Then he said, “If you have time, build one yourself. If you don’t, buy one by the sea. How about that?”

“Boss, there is indeed an empty space. It’s a good location. It’s southeast of Manhattan. It’s not very far from here. It’s just a few streets away.” Philip was still very good at doing things.

Wesley nodded with satisfaction and said, “Buy it and then we’ll look at the land.” Buy first and see later. Wesley is also rich now, and it’s not like he’ll buy the land in New York.

“I understand, including the construction procedures.” Philip hurried away.

Wesley sat on the sofa with Mindy in his arms. Mindy was a big girl now, almost fourteen, although she was a little petite and Wesley felt awkward holding her, but Mindy had no real sense of awareness. She was criticizing Wesley for not coming home to them after so long.

Wesley could only beg for mercy and then ask, “Father, are you still going to run the flower shop?”

Carlos nodded. “Yes. Something has to be done.”

Wesley then said, “That’s good. Then let’s build a bigger house. Now let’s see how the land is and start designing. What do you need for the house?”

Mindy immediately shouted excitedly, “I want the pool. Annabelle needs to learn to swim.”

“Meow” Annabelle ran away in a hurry. It should never learn to swim. The family went straight downstairs, got in Carlos’s pickup, left the apartment, and went to the land introduced by Philip.
