Chapter 53 Bird of Paradise

"With me here, I will protect you." Coulson endured the pain and squatted down, looking at the girl with tender eyes, "What's your name?"

"Selena", tears flowed from the girl's dark brown eyes. She buried her head on Coulson's shoulder to avoid the two strange gazes outside the door.

"Don't be afraid, they are good people, they are my friends." Coulson gently brushed away the girl's long black curly hair, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Selena, tell me why those people hunted down you?"

Selena took out a bank safe key from her pocket, "For this, it was given to me by my father before he died, and he was killed by those people right in front of my eyes!"

Coulson took the key silently, he knew the weight of this key.Coulson looked at the bank address marked on the key, then turned to Clint and Kevin and said, "Let's go to Los Angeles!"

The S.H.I.E.L.D. plane stopped at the small airport of the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch in Los Angeles.Surrounding the runway is a large field of enthusiastic and unrestrained bird-of-paradise flowers, flaunting wantonly like African crowned cranes waiting to fly.

The group settled down in the S.H.I.E.L.D. building.Kevin and Clint went to the bank to get the contents of the safe, and Coulson went to take care of Selena after treating the wound on his shoulder, and she obviously hadn't recovered from the fear.Apart from Coulson, Selena didn't want to talk to anyone.

After Selena fell asleep, Coulson left her room.Clint saw Coulson coming out, and handed him the item taken out of the bank safe. It was a U disk in the shape of a bird of paradise flower, which had been encrypted.

"This key belongs to the media tycoon Stern who was assassinated just a few days ago," Clint frowned, "I checked with Kevin, and he only has one son and one daughter, and there is no such daughter as Selena." .”

"I already know, Selena told me just now, she is indeed Stern's daughter. Her mother didn't tell her her life experience until she was dying, and asked her to find her biological father," Coulson explained.

"Birth experience?" Clint and Kevin asked in unison.

Coulson sighed, and began to relay Selena's life experience. This is not the saddest story he has ever heard, but this story actually happened to that poor girl, which is different:

"When Stern's newspaper was on the verge of bankruptcy 19 years ago, he suffered from depression and ran to the beach in California to prepare to commit suicide. This scene happened to be seen by Selena's mother Flora. Flora and She was born with the ability to confuse men with singing, so she used her beautiful singing to charm Stern, who was walking into the sea, and pulled him back from the brink of death.

They fell in love quickly, until one day Stern's pregnant wife suddenly appeared and offered a sum of money to ask Flora to leave Stern, and Flora didn't know that her lover had a family.Flora didn't take the money, but she fled that bird-of-paradise beach overnight, where Stern couldn't find her. "

Soon after, Flora found out that she was also pregnant, and she decided to give birth to the child because the child was the crystallization of her and Stern's love.After Selena was born, Flora made a living by fishing for pearls by the sea, struggling to survive.It wasn't until a few months ago that Flora became seriously ill and she knew she was going to die soon, so she didn't tell Selena the truth.

After Flora's death, Selena found New York with the help of a business card from that year, and finally met Stern, but the happiness came too short, and Stern didn't have time to hear her scream Dad, he was pierced through the chest by a bullet suddenly shot by the Winter Soldier, and he passed away when he handed the key to Selena." Speaking of this, Coulson couldn't help feeling sorry for this strong girl.

"Then how did Selena escape from the clutches of the Winter Soldier?" Clint looked at Coulson with disbelief. The three of them together were no match for the Winter Soldier.

"She inherited her mother's special ability to temporarily lull the Winter Soldier into a hallucination with her singing." Although Coulson didn't hear Selena's singing, but for some reason, he believed what Selena said from the bottom of his heart. everything.

"Kevin, what are you thinking?" Clint looked at Kevin beside him. He hadn't said a word since Coulson first started telling the story.

"I'm thinking... just now Coulson said that Stern's wife suddenly appeared 19 years ago. According to our investigation, Stern was not married at that time." Kevin heard Clint call his name, from being immersed in the story The state in the middle is released.

"This is the weirdest part of the whole thing. As far as I know, Stern and his wife met at a reception after his newspaper group barely survived the crisis." Coulson folded his hands , pacing from one end of the corridor to the other, "After they combined, his wife provided him with a sum of money to help Sent's newspaper group develop again, and its newspapers once surpassed the "Daily Horn" .”

"Is there a conspiracy here? Mrs. Stern obviously lied to Flora," Kevin couldn't help asking.

"That's exactly what I suspect," Coulson took Kevin's words, "The most urgent thing is to figure out what's in the USB flash drive, I'll let Skye try to crack it first."

"What about that girl?" Clint pointed to the closed door not far away.

"The key has been taken by our S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't think the Winter Soldier gang will bother her anymore, but I want to help her with one more thing. I want her to attend Stern's funeral as a daughter." ", Coulson looked at the watch in his hand, "I contacted a law firm, and the appointment time is coming soon."

After handing over with the law firm, Coulson asked the lawyer to arrange a meeting.However, the effect of the meeting was not very satisfactory. The Stern brothers and sisters insulted Selena, calling her a liar who took a fancy to Mr. Stern's inheritance, and threw some money in Selena's face for her to buy. poison.Mrs. Stern didn't say a word, just looked at Selena with a look of contempt.

The attitude of the Stern family made Coulson very angry, and he immediately decided to go to court.However, before the trial, news came from Skye that part of the content of the USB drive had been cracked.

"I'm going back to S.H.I.E.L.D., Selena, please." Coulson gave Selena a reluctant look, and pushed her to Clint and Kevin, "Selena, I'm not here. When you are in trouble, I hope that no matter what you encounter, you will face it with strength, for your father!"

Selena nodded with tears in her eyes, and walked into the courtroom with Clint and Kevin.

When he was in court, Clint noticed a familiar figure in the last row through the reflection of his sunglasses.It was a strange woman, she was wearing an ill-fitting men's clothing, her seductive red hair hung down, half covering her emerald eyes.Clint's first reaction was Rebecca, and then he remembered that Rebecca had lost her ability to transform.

Clint stabbed Kevin beside him. Kevin turned his head and saw the beautiful woman clenched her fists and stared at the female judge with resentful eyes. Fortunately, she had already taken care of all the jurors. man.

"Who is she? I remember Rebecca becoming her when she seduced Maximilian," Kevin whispered.

"Keep quiet in court!" the judge slammed the hammer in front of her, glaring at Kevin.

Selena was once again humiliated by the opposing lawyer in court. In the end, the female judge directly dismissed the appeal without going through the jury.After the court closed, Kevin and the others were still discussing countermeasures with the lawyer, and Selena ran out of the court directly.

"Where's Selena?" Clint realized that Selena was missing, and hurriedly dragged Kevin to chase him out. There was no sign of Selena on the street.

"She's gone to the headquarters of the Stern Newspaper Group!" Kevin and Clint turned around and found that it was the red-haired woman in the last row of the court auditorium.

"There's no time, she might be in danger," the mysterious woman hailed a car under the surprised eyes of the two, "Come up!"

Clint and Kevin looked at each other, then got into the car, they had no other choice now but to trust this woman.

"Take us to the building of the Stern Newspaper Group, hurry up!" the red-haired woman put her hand on the driver's lap and said in a charming voice.

"Who are you?" Clint looked at the woman with some vigilance, because the car she stopped just now happened to be a police car, and the policeman let her manipulate him without any objection.

"Lorelai," the red-haired woman looked straight ahead and smiled. She didn't want to charm the two men in the back row at this moment, and she still needed their judgment.

The car stopped at the destination, just in time for them to see Selena's thin body rushing into the building.The three of them chased into the hall, and Selena was already on the elevator.

After getting on another elevator, Kevin couldn't help asking Lorelai, "How did you know she would come here?"

"Guess." Lorelai complained dissatisfiedly while pressing the floor, "You guys are really bad. As long as the case can pass the jury verdict, our side will win."

"Us?" Clint asked incredulously.

"Me, and Selena," Lorelai replied.

Clint still wanted to ask, the elevator door had already opened, and they saw Selena grabbing Mrs. Stern's skirt in the corridor, begging bitterly.

"I don't want any inheritance, I just ask you to let me attend Mr. Stern's funeral." Selina didn't even dare to call Mr. Stern her father.

"Bastard!" Selena was slapped to the ground by Mrs. Stern's son.

Clint, who was chasing after him, saw it and grabbed the boy by his collar. Kevin hurried over to help Selena who fell on the ground, "Mrs. Stern, is this your tutor?"

"My family's tutor doesn't need you low-class people to interrupt!" Mrs. Stern contemptuously wiped the place on her clothes that Selena grabbed just now with a handkerchief, and then threw the handkerchief into the trash can.

"Tell everyone loudly, who is the real bastard?" Lorelai walked over, grabbed Mrs. Stern's son's hand and said with a smile.

"I'm not Mr. Stern's own son, I'm the real bastard!" Mrs. Stern's son obediently shouted.

Clint and Kevin looked at each other. At first they only suspected that Mr. Stern's eldest daughter was not his biological child, but they didn't expect that neither was the younger son.

"Bitch!" Mrs. Stern raised her hand and waved towards Lorelai, who was grabbed by Lorelai and knocked down to the ground with a backhand slap.

"You are the bitch, you think no one knows about the nasty things you did, I tell you, the sky is watching!" Lorelei said with a sneer, she had already seen everything at Heimdall.

Mrs. Stern didn't talk to her. She got up from the ground and shouted into her ears, "Catch them all!"

After a while, four female bodyguards with live ammunition rushed over and surrounded them.

"These three are locked in the prison in the basement and kept as test subjects." Mrs. Stern gritted her teeth and pointed to Kevin and the others, then looked at Selena with a sinister look, "This little one, I want to interrogate myself, I need to know the whereabouts of the key!"

"Female bodyguard? You already knew about Selena's abilities!" Kevin gasped. "In other words, Mr. Stern's death is related to you, or even...you arranged it?"
