Chapter 932: The Falcon Leads
The night after Ghost Rider had destroyed the local police station, he nearly blew up his own home in a fight with Lin Rui. When the police surrounded Johnny’s house with a large force, Johnny transformed into Ghost Rider once again and summoned his mount, breaking out of the encirclement and disappearing into the dark night.
Of course, the process of Ghost Rider’s escape this time was not without complications.
Because among the people surrounding his house, there were some fighters among the police who were clearly stronger than ordinary officers, and there was another powerful individual who almost managed to hold Ghost Rider back.
However, in the end, Ghost Rider broke through and escaped.
Agent Edward, standing behind a police car, was at a loss for words as he watched the flaming figure leave just as arrogantly as the previous night.
He and Captain Dolan rushed to the center of the battle a short distance away, where SHIELD agents had just fought Ghost Rider and it was unclear what had happened.
Crackling!
By this point, Johnny’s home had been nearly reduced to ruins. In addition to the damage caused by Lin Rui’s initial fight with Blackheart and his later fight with Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider had caused additional destruction as he broke through the police encirclement.
Ghost Rider’s immortal body allows him to withstand all types of police fire attacks, and he is careful not to harm innocent people too severely, so he can only use h.e.l.lfire to deter the police. As a result, most of what was destroyed was burned by Ghost Rider himself.
Da Da Da ~
As Agent Edward and Captain Dolan rushed over, people were also withdrawing from the battlefield one by one. These people’s equipment and clothing were different from that of the local police officers, and they were obviously more elite, and the person leading them was a black soldier wearing a set of high-tech combat gear.
If anyone present was familiar with SHIELD, they would recognize these fighters as SHIELD’s special operations team, and the black fighter leading them would be recognized as Falcon from the Avengers, a superhero!
As Agent Edward and Captain Dolan saw Falcon emerge with the special operations team, they were unsure of how to approach them. Captain Dolan represents the local police, and there is not much connection between SHIELD and the local police.
While Agent Edward is a member of SHIELD, he is only a peripheral observer and not even a beginner agent. Therefore, there is a significant gap between them and people of Falcon’s level.
“Uh… Agent Edward, aren’t you from SHIELD? Why don’t you go and ask about the situation?” Seeing that Falcon and the others were about to pa.s.s in front of him, Captain Dolan whispered in Agent Edward’s ear.
“This…” Upon hearing Captain Dolan’s words, Agent Edward was a little embarra.s.sed and didn’t know how to respond.
If it were an ordinary SHIELD team coming to provide support, Edward could go over and speak with them, but with such a high-level team present, he didn’t have the confidence to approach them.
However, as Agent Edward and Captain Dolan stood there awkwardly, Falcon, who had just walked past, suddenly looked over and stopped before he walked toward them.
“Are you Agent Edward and Captain Dolan?” Falcon asked calmly as he approached Agent Edward and Captain Dolan.
As Falcon approached and spoke to them, Agent Edward and Captain Dolan were excited but tried to maintain calm expressions.
“Well, I’m Edward, and this is Captain Dolan Police.” Then, Agent Edward replied immediately.
“I am Falcon, and you should all know who I am. Do you have any additional information about this incident?” Falcon continued to ask with a simple nod.
Initially, after Special Agent Edward reported the situation here, SHIELD didn’t plan to send any members of the Avengers.
After all, while the members of the Avengers weren’t seriously injured like some other members of the alliance, they still needed to pay attention to the current dynamics of all parties in order to respond to various emergencies.
However, after Ghost Rider blew up the police station later, SHIELD also a.n.a.lyzed that this incident was unlikely to be resolved by ordinary special teams.
That’s why the headquarters sent Falcon from the Avengers, whose special warfare team is second only to the K team. Falcon should be able to handle the strange situation here.
As soon as Falcon arrived, he immediately partic.i.p.ated in the siege of a dangerous individual. The fighting process surprised Falcon. He has seen many amazing things since joining the Avengers, but what he encountered during the process still surprised him. That’s because the other party doesn’t look human.
“We don’t know much, and we’ve already reported all the information to higher authorities. If there’s anything you want to know then we’ll do our best to answer,” Agent Edward replied when Falcon spoke.
“I just want to know, are you sure that the skeleton guy is Johnny Blaze?” Falcon asked.
“Well… We’ve had doubts about this. However, Johnny was monitored at the police station last night, and although the footage isn’t very clear, it’s enough to see that the angry guy was conjured by Johnny,” Captain Dolan replied helplessly, knowing what Falcon was wondering about
Without the surveillance footage from the police station, it would have been impossible for Agent Edward and Captain Dolan to understand that the flaming monster was actually Johnny, who had been trapped and beaten by his cellmates and then transformed into a flaming killer figure. The difference between the two states was too great to discern without the video evidence.
“Okay, I got it. This incident will be completely handled by SHIELD from now on. Thank you Captain Dolan for your help and cooperation. However, in order to avoid the loss of the local police force, your actions may not be needed in the future.” After a brief understanding, Falcon looked at Captain Dolan as he spoke.
The situation involving Ghost Rider has become much more serious following Falcon’s encounter with him. While it has not yet reached the highest level of cla.s.sification, it is approaching that point. Ghost Rider was able to escape from Falcon and a special operations team, even under sustained attack, demonstrating his formidable power.
Moreover, Falcon, who engaged Ghost Rider in combat firsthand, has a clear sense that his true strength is even greater than what was demonstrated during the fight. As a result, SHIELD has increased the threat level of Ghost Rider, a mysterious individual who appeared out of nowhere.
