Renn secretly gave Ophelia a thumbs up.
Then, Renn frowned and said, "To be honest, I thought the authorities already knew about the Skrulls and tacitly approved of it."
"If the authorities are unaware of this, then I suggest that the relevant parties conduct a thorough investigation."
Ophelia followed up, saying, "Mr. Sullivan, why do you say that?"
Renn gave a mocking laugh and said, "Heh, the Skrulls don't have a very good reputation in the universe, well, at least in the Milky Way."
"Well, the Skrull race has a very peculiar talent."
"They can change their appearance at will, disguise themselves as another person, and even copy memories."
"The best among them can even copy other people's superpowers..."
Ryan paused slightly, leaving his sentence unfinished.
General Ross, the master of comedic timing, said with a serious expression, "Shit, isn't this just an enhanced version of Mystique?"
General Ross's words quickly brought back some unpleasant memories for those present.
In the past, this world was inhabited by mutants.
However, as early as the early 1990s, the human authorities had already found the best way to deal with mutants: using genetically modified food to eliminate the entire mutant population invisibly.
There are numerous records of mutants in the secret bases of various factions and in many secret files.
In particular, the once-famous Trax had proposed the Sentinel Project using Mystique's genes while at Whitehouse.
The entire Sentinel program would have been implemented long ago if Magneto and X-Men hadn't deliberately sabotaged it.
Mystique is famous for her stealth, disguise, and assassination skills.
And now, the Skrulls that Raine mentioned are clearly more terrifying than Mystique.
The brief silence in the room did not affect Renn.
Rein nodded to General Ross and continued, "That's right, it's an enhanced version of Mystique. The Skrulls are even known as knock-off aliens throughout the galaxy."
"Thousands of years ago, the Skrulls, no, the Skrulls, used this shapeshifting ability to steal the cutting-edge technologies and sciences of many cosmic civilizations at the time, and even secretly invaded and controlled many interstellar forces, thus forming the earliest Skrull Empire."
"At the same time, it was precisely because the Skrulls' predatory development was so abhorrent that, about three thousand years ago, many interstellar forces united to launch an attack on the Skrull Empire."
"After that, the Kree Empire, the Shia Empire, and the Skrull Empire dominated the galaxy."
"Especially between the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire, the war has continued to this day."
"Just twenty years ago, a group of Skrull War refugees, who were being hunted by the Kree Empire, escaped to Earth and happened to encounter an accident during the military's development of a photon engine, which led to the birth of Captain Marvel."
"Captain Marvel rose to fame in the galaxy after destroying the Kree Empire fleet that was pursuing them."
"The agent in charge of investigating these matters at the time was probably Nick Fury."
"These should all have been recorded at the time."
"That's why I always thought that the White House, the military, and S.H.I.E.L.D. all knew about aliens..."
Accompanied by Ryan's words.
This time, without the Grand Commander's prompting, the White Mansion staff member began frantically reviewing the documents and records.
However, the Bai family advisor's expression soon turned ugly.
The Grand Commander frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
The White House staff looked troubled and said, "Mr. President, there are indeed records of photon engine development in the White House and the military. It was called Project Pegasus at the time."
"However, the Pegasus Project encountered an unexpected problem. The records were not detailed, and all the data was deleted."
"The investigator at the time was indeed Nick Fury."
"As for Nick Fury's investigation report, it was deleted by Howard Stark of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the time."
"And Howard Stark and his wife died in a car accident not long after."
After hearing the words of the Bai family's advisor.
The Grand Commander's face was extremely grim, and his gaze grew increasingly fierce as he glared at the Air Force Lieutenant General.
Howard Stark's closest connections within the military are concentrated in the Air Force.
The Air Force Lieutenant General also looked extremely embarrassed.
I feel hopeless too.
The Stark family established connections with the 317 military during World War II, and over the decades, their network of connections within the Air Force has far surpassed their own.
Too many coincidences came together, and then the trail went cold.
But most importantly, even though Ryan Sullivan's story is very reasonable and logical.
However, there is still no concrete evidence of Nick Fury's collusion with the Skrulls.
At this moment, the Grand Commander and the others could not ask Rein any more questions.
Fortunately, after receiving glances from the Grand Master and others, Ophelia took the initiative to ask Renn, "Mr. Sullivan, I would like to ask, how do you know so much about what happened back then?"
Renn appropriately showed some interest in Ophelia's beauty.
This expression stirred something within many people, including the Grand Secretary.
It seems like we could try a human-based strategy.
After exchanging glances, the Grand Commander and several other high-ranking officials had reached a tacit consensus.
He then promoted Ophelia and had her cultivate a good relationship with Rein Sullivan.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I wish all my readers a prosperous year, good fortune, and all the best.

Chapter 193 The Army Surrounds S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Bai family and high-ranking military officials are not fools; they know who they can offend and who they cannot.
It was fine if we didn't have the chance before.
Now that the opportunity has presented itself, naturally they want to place one of their own people next to Renn.
Given the significant problems faced by Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury within S.H.I.E.L.D., promoting Ophelia and persuading her to get closer to Ryan shouldn't be too difficult.
At this time, Ophelia was unaware that the Grand Master and others had already arranged a legitimate way for her to contact Rein in the future.
At this moment, Ophelia still maintained her extremely upright demeanor.
And looking at Ophelia's appearance.
Raine smiled calmly and said, "Ms. Ophelia, I do not have any concrete evidence."
"However, Captain Marvel is now extremely famous throughout the galaxy. Her name is Carol Danvers, and she should be recorded on the Air Force pilot roster twenty years ago."
"Captain Marvel's story is widely known throughout the galaxy and is no secret."
"If you capture Nick Fury, you should have Captain Marvel's contact information on him."
After saying that, Renn fell silent.
Ophelia, on the other hand, appeared loyal, fearless, and wanted to ask more questions.
However, at this moment, the Grand Commander quickly spoke up, saying, "Ms. Ophelia, Mr. Renn Sullivan is not a criminal. You should watch your attitude."
The Grand Commander's voice was full of meaning.
Upon hearing this, Ophelia showed a hint of resentment on her face, but then fell silent.
Meanwhile, in the top-floor conference room of the Sullivan Group, the discussion was incessant.
At this time, the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Washington, D.C.
With SHIELD completely unprepared, armored vehicles quickly surrounded the entire agency.
Heavy weapons, armored vehicles, tanks, and even in the air above, battles were constantly circling.
Thousands of National Defense troops surrounded S.H.I.E.L.D.
An army major general, accompanied by his guards, had just begun reporting to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Alexander and current Director Nick Fury are suspected of betraying national interests. On orders from the White House, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been temporarily shut down…..."
The massive signal jammer completely severed all communications within the entire Trident building.
The huge loudspeaker was playing the roar of the army major general on a loop.
In an instant, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. was thrown into chaos.
A large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, fully armed, were positioned behind the entrance to the Trident Building, confronting a large number of National Defense troops.
This took about ten minutes.
They saw that S.H.I.E.L.D. still showed no intention of opening the door and surrendering.
With a cold, angry snort from the army major general, tanks immediately spearheaded an attack on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident building.
Seeing that the National Defense Force was serious, everyone at S.H.I.E.L.D. became increasingly panicked.
It looked like the two sides were about to start fighting.
