Chapter 378 Dark Elves Invade, Target the President!
"The problem is... where are they?"
At the same time the Kree Empire decided to retaliate against Toby, another force searching for Toby was closing in outside Earth's atmosphere.
That's the Dark Elf fleet!
Malekith remained silent aboard a T-shaped main warship in a state of transparent stealth.
He had led his army to the Klinta region, only to find that he had been tricked and that the holder of the Aether had already fled back to Midgard in the Nine Realms.
He led his men back at full speed, ignoring the dizziness and discomfort, and continuously performed spatial jumps, finally managing to return to Midgard.
But the ether particle fluctuations that he could sense half an hour ago have now completely disappeared!
And this time, Malekith couldn't sense even the slightest fluctuation of the aether particles!
It's as if the ether particles simply disappeared from this universe!
"Boss, what's wrong? Did you lose track of the Aether again? Do I have to keep going to Midgard to catch the holder of the Aether?"
Malekith's simple-minded second-in-command, Argolim, seeing his boss fall silent, couldn't help but ask.
Malekith's already unpleasant expression became even worse after Algorim asked him such a sore question.
Don't I have any pride?
I'm asking you, don't I have any pride?
Malekith took a deep breath and forced a smile that didn't reach his eyes:
"Go! Of course I'll go! I've sensed it; the Aether is definitely in Midgard. It's just that the Midgardians have used some method to make my connection with the Aether extremely weak, making it impossible for me to pinpoint its exact location on Earth!"
"So your mission this time not only requires you to capture the holder of the Aether, but you also need to figure out where they are hiding!"
Argolim was taken aback, then pointed blankly at himself: "Huh? I'm also responsible for finding people? But boss... I'm only good at fighting, not finding people. You're good at finding people, so why don't you come with me, boss?"
Malekith, upon hearing this, adopted a serious expression and continued to deceive, "I also very much want to go with you, but I need to stay behind and command the army. If the two of us, as commander and deputy commander, both go down to Midgard to search for people, and if Midgard really turns out to be a trap set by Asgard, wouldn't we all be doomed?"
"Therefore, this glorious and arduous task can only be entrusted to you alone. Only you, with your wisdom and courage, are capable of undertaking this most important mission!"
"Well...that makes sense," Algorim agreed, scratching his head as he listened to Malekith's praise.
Seeing Algorim's idiotic behavior, Malekith was still somewhat uneasy and said:
"Here's what we'll do. I'll give you a goal. Once you're in Midgard, go straight to the king of the most powerful nation in Midgard. As the one who holds power in Midgard, he must know some inside information. Get the whereabouts of the Aether holder from him!"
"Go, and remember, the glory of the Dark Elves will forever protect you!"
"Yes, my king, I'm off!" Upon hearing this, Argolim nodded emphatically and turned to leave without hesitation.
After Argolim left, Maleski immediately pointed to another dark elf and eagerly declared, "You will be my new second-in-command!"
The dark elf who was called upon was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "But isn't Commander Artorium your second-in-command?"
Although Malekith was secretly pleased that he had finally gotten rid of his mentally challenged deputy, he certainly couldn't say that on the surface.
Malekith shook his head: "I've already given the few remaining cursed crystals to Argolim. Even if he returns from this mission, he won't live much longer. But the position of second-in-command can't be vacant, so you'll take it!"
"I see, I understand, Your Majesty..."
Meanwhile, in the White House in America.
Kingpin, sitting in the chair that represents the highest power in the country, was smoking a cigar and listening to his female secretary report on the strange phenomena that had occurred in New York half an hour earlier.
Upon hearing that a face larger than New York City had suddenly appeared in the sky above New York, Kingpin remained calm and said:
"That monster could descend upon London, it could descend upon New Mexico, it could descend upon that mysterious Eastern power, it could descend upon anywhere. Wherever it descends, it would likely bring an unspeakable catastrophe. But unfortunately, it just so happened to descend upon New York!"
"What kind of place is New York? It's the most terrifying spider nest in the world! Any random little spider out there could hang me up and beat me to a pulp. What's more, above those little spiders is a spider king a thousand times more terrifying. The moment He entered New York, He stepped into the venomous spider's hunting web, destined to become one of that venomous spider's thousands of prey!"
Kingpin's secretary swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Mr. President, do you mean we should ignore what's happening in New York?"
Kingpin glanced at the young secretary and shook his head slightly: "Of course we'll pay attention, but not to prepare for battle, but to prepare to welcome our hero home!"
"Have the White House think tank prepare a report on Toby Parker's epic feat of defeating that world-destroying monster. Once Toby Parker returns to Earth, immediately issue it in the name of the White House. Then, prepare a grand banquet for our hero's return, and have all the celebrities prepare thank-you notes and gifts for Toby Parker!"
"Remember, write down the names of everyone who refuses to attend, then give the list to the IRS and have them investigate them immediately. I don't want any rotten apples in the upper echelons of the United States who are dissatisfied with Toby Parker; it would be bad if they dragged me down with them."
Upon hearing this, the secretary trembled, shocked by the president's high regard for Toby Parker and even more alarmed by Kingpin's methods.
Just because they didn't attend the thank-you dinner for Toby Parker, the IRS is going to investigate these high-ranking officials? Is that really so ruthless?
You should know that in the United States, very few government officials have clean staff; they simply cannot withstand an investigation by the Special Investigations Bureau!
Kingpin's first move was a killing blow!
The secretary, trembling with fear, prepared to leave to arrange the matters Kingpin had instructed her to attend to.
Rumble——————
But before she could even reach the door, the entire White House suddenly trembled violently with a loud roar!
It was as if a meteorite had fallen into the White House!
The female secretary immediately fell to the ground, while the presidential bodyguards in the room, after regaining their footing, all drew their pistols in preparation.
Kingpin only frowned slightly, and did not appear too panicked.
