Chapter 1295: Diplomat?

“Uh… So even someone as terrifying as him can have that expression?” Venom remarked to Eddie as he carefully observed Tony’s expression through their mental link.

Eddie didn’t respond to Venom’s comment. After all, the fact that Tony’s expression had changed so dramatically upon receiving a message indicated the gravity of the situation. At least, it held far more significance than it did for Eddie and Venom.

As Eddie and Venom stood awkwardly, uncertain whether to leave or stay, Tony’s expression had already returned to its usual calm state. He then looked towards Eddie and Venom.

“Well, you two can head back now. There’s nothing more to do here.” Tony smiled and said, seemingly sensing Eddie and Venom’s discomfort.

“Alright, Mr. Stark, we’ll take our leave then. If you ever need our assistance in the future, don’t hesitate to ask!” Eddie replied politely, visibly relieved.

With that, Eddie and Venom swiftly exited the laboratory. Guided by J.A.R.V.I.S., they easily found their way out.

At the moment Eddie and Venom left the laboratory, Tony immediately instructed J.A.R.V.I.S. to contact Lin Rui. However, just like before, J.A.R.V.I.S. couldn’t establish a connection with Lin Rui.

“J.A.R.V.I.S., try contacting Rogers,” Tony said, continuing to have J.A.R.V.I.S. reach out despite his initial attempt failing.

“Understood, sir.”

This time, the communication was swiftly established. It appeared that Rogers had been waiting for Tony to reach out, as his image promptly appeared on the screen after J.A.R.V.I.S. initiated the call.

“Tony, I knew you couldn’t contain your curiosity when you received this message. What’s up? Still unable to contact Jackson?” Rogers noticed Tony’s uncontainable excitement upon his appearance and decided to tease him a bit.

Hearing Rogers’ playful remark, Tony waved it off. “So, what’s the situation? Can you give me the specifics? Has Jackson really discovered a civilization on Earth that’s technologically superior to us but has remained hidden?”

Although the previous message had provided plenty of information, Tony wanted to confirm the details in person. After all, this was quite an extraordinary development.

Of course, Tony had grown accustomed to unusual occurrences, especially concerning Lin Rui. Even though Earth had narrowly avoided destruction several times, adding an advanced civilization that had been hidden for centuries to the mix wouldn’t necessarily shock him.

“Yes, it’s true. Jackson is currently acting as SHIELD’s diplomat in Wakanda, engaging in discussions with their king. We’re hoping to bring this highly advanced nation, which possesses a significant amount of black technology, into our alliance,” Rogers replied, confirming Tony’s suspicions.

“Diplomat for SHIELD? Did Jackson come up with that title himself?”

“That’s not important. What matters is that we’ve confirmed the existence of a remarkable nation hidden within Earth or its connected realms. If Jackson’s plan succeeds, our alliance’s power will double in no time.”

“Have you already thought about how to approach and handle this unique nation?” Tony continued, shifting his attention to the most crucial aspect—the response of Wakanda.

“Well, this is why I contacted you immediately after discussing the situation with them. Jackson and I are of the same mind: we don’t mind revealing the real Wakanda to the world. Given the circumstances, it’s essential for our alliance,” Rogers calmly explained.

Tony’s questions were concise, focusing on what he knew mattered most. The establishment of the Earth Federation aimed to unite official and unofficial forces worldwide, pooling global resources to accelerate technological and cultural advancement.

This approach would maximize Earth’s potential and provide it with more leverage against extraterrestrial civilizations in the future.

Wakanda’s existence undeniably had the potential to accelerate Earth’s technological advancement, given their willingness to cooperate with the Earth Federation. Ꞧᴀ𝐍О𝐛ËＳ

However, the current Earth Federation was still a loose alliance, and not everyone might be ready to accept Wakanda’s role. Furthermore, Wakanda’s secrecy and power made it a valuable trump card.

Tony wasn’t surprised by Rogers’ response; it was what he had expected after hearing about Wakanda’s situation.

“So, can Jackson ensure that Wakanda will remain a secret ally to our cause?” If their three perspectives were aligned, the most crucial factor now was Wakanda’s stance.

“He’s currently in negotiations with the Wakandan royal family and, through SHIELD’s team stationed there, expressing our intentions actively. Since Jackson has managed to bring this mysterious nation to our attention, he should be fairly confident in the success of his plan.”

“Jackson, that kid, has really grown up, hasn’t he? Also, does he only communicate with you now?” Tony recalled their initial encounter with Lin Rui and couldn’t help but ask.

“Jackson is currently with members of the Wakandan royal family. Besides making a public appearance to facilitate negotiations and provide assurances, he can send private messages. If you’d like to contact him, I can let him know.”

“I see. I’ll wait for his message, then.”
