Chapter 1289 Confined

From the moment Lin Rui sent the message, urging them to get involved in the CIA's operation to bring N'Jadaka under the strict supervision of SHIELD, Rogers knew that Jackson had once again found himself entangled in another special event.

However, SHIELD had already experienced several major events. From the infiltration of Hydra, which had been lurking for decades and nearly toppled SHIELD entirely, to extraterrestrial civilizations or bosses from other dimensions almost causing the destruction of Earth twice, the nerves of SHIELD, or rather those who had experienced this series of events, had grown quite sturdy.

Especially Captain America Steve Rogers and his associates, who actively worked to form the Earth Federation, were fearless in the face of any challenge. Even if Earth were to face another apocalyptic disaster, they would unite to confront it once again. However, Lin Rui's actions this time surprised Rogers to no small extent.

Even if this time Lin Rui had used the Magic Cube to teleport to a distant part of the universe and then informed Rogers upon his return that Earth would once again face an attack from other civilizations in the cosmos, Rogers was not particularly surprised.

What Rogers couldn't have anticipated, though, was that there was another Earth civilization hiding on their planet, one that shared their origins but had taken a completely different developmental path hundreds of years ago!

Moreover, from the information that Lin Rui had sent to Rogers, this true Wakanda, although originally a union of several tribes in Africa hundreds of years ago, had developed black technology far surpassing Earth's general technology thanks to their possession of the miraculous vibranium material.

In the information Lin Rui provided, he mentioned a few examples. For instance, nanotechnology, which the world was currently struggling to master, was already highly advanced in Wakanda. 

They had also developed weapons systems, energy systems, and highly futuristic aircraft and energy shields based on vibranium. It was this black technology that had piqued Rogers' interest in this mysterious nation.

In addition to sharing the real data about Wakanda with Rogers, Lin Rui naturally explained his purpose for entering Wakanda without prior notice. And now, Lin Rui had achieved a significant portion of his objective, with the rest requiring cooperation from Rogers and his team. 

With Captain America's abilities, it was almost certain that the Golden Guard would be deployed voluntarily, and SHIELD's collaboration with Wakanda would become a reality.

So, after quickly reviewing the information Lin Rui had provided in his mind, Rogers' furrowed brow gradually relaxed. Then, he hid the gleam in his eyes and walked slowly toward the fourteen straight-backed female warriors of the Wakanda Royal Guard standing before him.

"Hello, warriors from Wakanda. On behalf of SHIELD, I welcome your arrival. Of course, I must also thank you for your support in preventing further destruction caused by N'Jadaka's followers," Rogers said in a calm tone, standing before the female general leading the group. He began with a gesture of crossed hands over his chest.

Upon seeing Captain America, the leader of SHIELD, the most powerful force on Earth and soon to be a member of the Earth Federation's highest echelon, showing respect and courtesy to her team, the female general's expression changed slightly. 

She quickly returned the gesture, and as she did, the thirteen female warriors behind her simultaneously raised their upper arms and crossed them powerfully over their chests.

Huff!

Compared to Rogers' previous gesture, the female general and her warriors' actions were more forceful and carried a stronger presence.

"Hello, RogersCaptain. I represent the will of the King of Wakanda, who has sent us to SHIELD to suppress the Wakanda rebels. We also have information on several other rebel factions, and our purpose in coming here is to seek cooperation," the female general said confidently, her hands now lowered.

"Well! SHIELD is more than willing to cooperate with Wakanda! In that case..."

Next, the representatives of Wakanda's Golden Guard and SHIELD's Captain America, Steve Rogers, began a simple exchange and discussion. 

Most of it revolved around N'Jadaka and the armed groups worldwide that possessed Wakanda technology and vibranium. Additionally, some of it concerned SHIELD's attitude toward Wakanda as conveyed by T'Challa.

It could be said that despite the physical distance separating Lin Rui and Rogers, which was difficult to measure purely in terms of physical distance, they were both working towards a similar goal - to secure Wakanda and establish a stable cooperative relationship with SHIELD.

...

While Lin Rui and Rogers were separately conducting diplomatic discussions with Wakanda and SHIELD regarding Wakanda, at one of the most heavily fortified locations in the SHIELD headquarters, N'Jadaka, who had been brought to SHIELD since last night, was confined in a chamber that could hardly be accurately described as a cell. 

It resembled more of a secure room designed by SHIELD for individuals who had committed major offenses and possessed significant power.

The security of this chamber was not only strong but also equipped with targeted firepower and other means of attack. 

If the individual detained in the chamber made any suspicious moves, the intelligent system that monitored them 24/7 would take immediate action to suppress them without waiting for the special agents stationed outside.

At this moment, N'Jadaka, looking severely wounded and on the brink of death, lay on a hard bunk bed. If it weren't for the faint rise and fall of his chest, one might have assumed he was already dead. 

After all, Bucky hadn't held back when he took action the previous night. On SHIELD's side, they had followed Lin Rui's instructions and refrained from providing him with any medical treatment, merely ensuring that he didn't deteriorate artificially.

However, at a moment when two attack teams in the vicinity of the SHIELD headquarters had initiated a battle, N'Jadaka, who appeared extremely weak, suddenly opened his eyes. There was no fear or despair in his black eyes, only calmness. After opening his eyes, N'Jadaka slightly twisted his head to place one ear against the bunk.

A few minutes later, N'Jadaka turned his head back to the position he had been lying in earlier. However, his previously calm eyes now showed ripples.

"So they suppressed the assault so quickly? It seems that SHIELD is even stronger than we had known! But I wonder, what do you plan to do about the person hidden in Wakanda?"
