Steve and the others listened with mixed understanding. It was clear that Kyle was using the Carl Nation to play a grand ga that could potentially reshape the current world.
While other nations were uniting to limit the actions of superpowered individuals through the Sokovia Accords, the Carl Nation was taking a different approach. Not only was it encouraging its citizens to enhance their abilities and evolve into superpowered beings, but it was also extending an olive branch to potential superhumans from outside.
In reality, Kyle had long wished for Earth to adapt to superpowered individuals and for humanity to collectively advance, rather than just having a few special heroes in the Avengers.
However, as the saying goes, haste makes waste. Despite years of promotion and efforts through unconventional ans, Kyle had not been able to make Earth's humanity advance significantly, largely due to immature resources and timing.
So, Kyle decided to use his newly founded nation to allow unrestricted use of superpowers within Carl Nation. By using SkyNet checkpoints and Points, and various welfare asures, he aid to quickly enhance the evolutionary level of the Carl citizens and then stimulate the entire Earth through the Carl Nation.
Within his own created nation, there were fewer restrictions. Kyle could do whatever he wanted, and changing laws was just a matter of his say.
Under Kyle's command, the hovering car traveled through half the city, joining many other hovering cars, and arrived at a fortress floating 300 ters above the ground, shaped like a sword pointing towards the sky.
This was the symbol of power and authority— the sword-shaped Royal Palace. On the vast, smooth plaza of the castle, many Carl residents arrived via hovering cars.
This place had access to the sky gardens, SkyNet platform, training, and duel arenas, and even portals to the outside world. In the center of the plaza, there was a massive virtual screen where residents could exchange points for resources and items.
When Kyle appeared in the central plaza, the residents imdiately bowed and knelt, quickly clearing a path for him.
Kyle led Steve and the others unobstructed to the virtual screen, which displayed a plethora of exchangeable items.
From super agent dicants that pushed human limits to formulas extending youth and longevity, and even the rarest and hardest Vibranium tal on Earth— there were all sorts of invaluable items available.
"Are we able to exchange for all these resources and items?" T'Challa asked, stunned and intrigued.
Before Kyle could answer, a graceful figure descended from the sky and landed beside him, softly replying, "Yes. As long as you are here, everything on the screen can be exchanged for points, though the number of points required varies."
"Raina," Kyle greeted the newcor with a nod.
"Boss. I thought you'd just open the palace doors directly," Raina said playfully, gently holding Kyle's left hand as others were not around.
T'Challa asked curiously, "So, how do we obtain these points?"
Raina replied, "The simplest thod is to use currency from the outside world to exchange for points, though the exchange rate is relatively low. It's better to use valuable items, like other resources, etc."
Kyle smiled calmly. As long as the items were valuable, no matter what they were, he could use them as materials for drawing new cards. So, he wasn't worried about ending up with worthless items.
Raina maintained her smile and teased, "For example, Steve, your Vibranium shield and Bucky, your chanical arm— these are very valuable items that can earn a lot of points."
Steve: "…"
Bucky: "…"
Was this serious? Were they suggesting they should exchange their Vibranium shield and chanical arm? It was almost like asking for their lives.
Kyle quietly chuckled. Little did they know, if it weren't for his interference, Steve might have already lost his Vibranium shield and Bucky his chanical arm by now.
"Can resources and valuable items be exchanged for points?"
T'Challa was eager to try. In Wakanda, there was a vast amount of Vibranium, and wealth and currency were rely a matter of value.
"There are other channels as well, such as arena duels, SkyNet challenges, and missions issued by Carl Nation. You three can keep an eye on those in the future," Raina said, promoting Carl Nation's features.
Kyle cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Alright. Raina, let's get back to the main topic."
"Okay." Raina nodded, then turned to Steve and the others, gesturing towards the palace, "Guests, please have a seat in the palace. I will explain the truth behind the attack on the Wakandan king."
In the main hall of the Carl Nation's palace.
As Kyle and the others took their seats on the sofa, Princess Sakura brewed so tea to help T'Challa calm down.
Raina sat next to Kyle and said softly, "After receiving Natasha's call, Boss asked to investigate the matter concerning the Wakandan king. Through the observatory, I obtained satellite footage of the street outside the New York diplomatic building at the ti of the attack."
Bucky remained indifferent as usual.
Steve's expression didn't change either; he trusted that if Bucky said he wasn't involved, then he wasn't.
T'Challa clenched his fists, anxiously waiting for Raina's revelation.
"God, show them the footage," Raina instructed. Imdiately, a virtual screen appeared in the hall. The video played, showing sowhat blurry footage, but Steve and the others could still see the street outside the diplomatic building.
Before the attack on the Wakandan king began, the bustling street was crowded with people. At that mont, Bucky, wearing sunglasses and a jacket, appeared. He stopped his motorcycle by the roadside and took an envelope from a mail slot.
At the sa ti, a young man wearing a baseball cap erged from an alley. Taking advantage of the pedestrians' lack of attention, he placed a backpack on the ground, unzipped it to reveal a dark rocket launcher, and aid it at the diplomatic building across the street.
Then, a rocket was fired, hitting the sixth floor of the diplomatic building.
In the ensuing chaos, the young man quickly zipped up his backpack, put it on, and blended into the crowd to leave. Bucky, on the other hand, stuffed the envelope into his pocket and calmly rode away on his motorcycle.
The satellite footage ended here.
T'Challa fell silent. This video completely cleared Bucky of suspicion, revealing that soone else was responsible for his father's death.
Steve turned to Bucky and asked curiously, "Bucky, why were you there at that ti?"
Bucky answered honestly, "At that ti, soone sent a letter with Hydra's brainwashing control words. I was instructed to go to the mailbox in front of the diplomatic building at that ti and retrieve an envelope."
"So you went? That's just like you…" Kyle said, both amused and exasperated. No matter how you looked at it, it seed like a carefully designed trap.
"Who is the young man in the video? Raina, did you find out?" Kyle asked.
"Of course," Raina replied with a smile, clapping her hands. A panel with the young man's photo appeared.
"His na is Helmut Zemo, a Sokovian survivor. During the Sokovia battle, his parents were killed. He planned to attack the Wakandan king and fra Bucky to make it look like Captain Arica was at fault, aiming to cause conflict and division within the Avengers."
