After Bucky had retreated to the corner, the figure on Lin Rui’s screen became clearer, and their gaze turned towards Lin Rui. Upon seeing Lin Rui, as well as Shuri and T’Challa behind him, the figure’s eyes flickered momentarily, but they didn’t immediately speak. Instead, they looked at Lin Rui with a meaningful expression.
Because Lin Rui had sent a message to SHIELD to accept N’Jadaka, this mysterious individual, and because SHIELD had taken over the CIA’s Quest, Rogers had gained some knowledge about the African nation of Wakanda.
With just one glance, Rogers deduced that the handsome black man standing beside Jackson was the newly crowned king of Wakanda. Although he didn’t recognize the young woman, she was likely a member of the Wakandan royal family.
Now that Lin Rui had initiated contact, although it wasn’t clear what he was up to, Rogers tactfully refrained from speaking first, showcasing the unspoken understanding between him and Lin Rui. Since Lin Rui was communicating with him in his original identity, that of Jackson Lin, his current role was naturally that of Jackson.
“Captain Rogers, there’s an urgent matter!” Lin Rui quickly spoke as Rogers gazed at him.
Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Rogers’ eyes blinked slightly. Lin Rui had contacted him using the name Jackson Lin, and he mentioned that it was an urgent matter, which indicated that Jackson Lin considered it extremely urgent.
“Uh? Jackson, where are you now? What’s the urgent matter?” Rogers raised an eyebrow, showing some confusion.
“I’m currently in Wakanda, but I’ll explain the details later. Right now, there are two armed groups with advanced technology infiltrating Washington. Their target is SHIELD headquarters, the same place where you took custody of N’Jadaka, who was conspiring to overthrow the Wakandan government,” Lin Rui said, giving Rogers a meaningful look.
In this sentence, Lin Rui had pretty much revealed N’Jadaka’s identity. Rogers was smart enough not to let T’Challa and Shuri detect any issues.
“N’Jadaka? Wasn’t he the one you asked us to apprehend… and what’s this about conspiring to overthrow a foreign government…” Rogers muttered to himself in a somewhat helpless tone upon hearing Lin Rui’s words. However, he maintained a composed expression.
“Rescuing N’Jadaka? Possessing advanced technology weapons? I understand. I’ll immediately dispatch an emergency team to handle this,” Rogers responded seriously after internally commenting on the situation.
“By the way, Captain Rogers, don’t underestimate the team trying to rescue N’Jadaka this time. They have weapons directly from the real Wakanda, such as vibranium weapons. Also, Wakanda has dispatched a team to intercept them. I hope SHIELD and Wakanda can cooperate and minimize casualties and damage,” Lin Rui added, providing some additional information.
With this, Lin Rui felt that Rogers should have a clearer understanding of Wakanda’s true situation. After all, with SHIELD’s intelligence capabilities, they should have thoroughly investigated Wakanda when Lin Rui handed N’Jadaka over to them.
Combined with the information from Ulysses’ interrogation about vibranium, mentioning the true Wakanda and high-tech weaponry should trigger some associations in Rogers’ mind.
Just as Lin Rui finished speaking, T’Challa walked over to Lin Rui’s side. “Hello, Captain Rogers. I am T’Challa, King of Wakanda. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Hello, Your Highness, King of Wakanda,” Rogers greeted politely.
“This time, I hope that Wakanda and SHIELD can cooperate to deal with this threat. Of course, this won’t be the only time we cooperate. I believe SHIELD has gained some understanding of Wakanda, but it may not be comprehensive. Through this unexpected event, Wakanda will also undergo changes, and we hope to have more cooperation in the future,” T’Challa calmly stated as he looked at the dignified Captain America on the screen.
With the backdrop of SHIELD already having some knowledge of the real Wakanda situation, T’Challa had chosen to engage in formal communication after the N’Jadaka incident.
Since SHIELD had discovered some truths about Wakanda and had taken action, dealing with the impending attack from N’Jadaka’s organization, T’Challa saw SHIELD as the first party to communicate with.
Upon hearing T’Challa’s words, Rogers’ eyes blinked several times, seemingly unperturbed by the information provided by both Lin Rui and T’Challa.
Although Lin Rui’s and T’Challa’s words were easy to understand, Rogers had many doubts in his mind, especially considering recent events. However, it appeared that his questions were gradually being resolved.
“To deal with individuals like N’Jadaka, who attempt to subvert a nation’s government, we won’t hold back either. We’ll strike them hard this time. Furthermore, I’m looking forward to cooperation between SHIELD and Wakanda.” After a brief moment of contemplation, Rogers smiled as he looked at T’Challa.
Ding, Ding, Ding!
Just as T’Challa and Rogers had exchanged a few words, a sudden alarm sounded from the console in front of Shuri. Hearing the alarm, both T’Challa and Shuri’s expressions became serious.
After T’Challa had explained the situation to Lin Rui, Shuri had been monitoring the two armed teams that had infiltrated Washington in real-time using the console. Just a moment ago, these two teams had launched an attack on SHIELD headquarters.
Although the aircraft of Wakanda’s Royal Guard was incredibly fast, it had only just entered U.S. territory, and it would take about a minute to reach SHIELD.
Shifting his gaze from the console back to the holographic screen in front of Lin Rui, T’Challa and the others were clearly aware of Rogers’ changing expression. Through the faint sounds and movements transmitted through the screen, they could tell that a battle was currently taking place on the other side.
“Captain Rogers, hold on for one more minute. Our reinforcements will arrive in just a minute!” Without waiting for Captain Rogers to respond further, T’Challa immediately spoke up.
In T’Challa’s view, the two teams, armed with vibranium and Wakandan high-tech weapons, should be overwhelming for SHIELD’s teams. Hence, he had directly told SHIELD to hold on for one more minute.
“Hold on for a minute? That’s not the SHIELD way… Jackson, let’s continue this conversation later.” Upon hearing T’Challa’s words, Captain Rogers nodded and said quietly, then he bid farewell to Lin Rui and terminated the communication.
