At this moment, the Agents whom Agent Coulson had instructed to withdraw anxiously reported the news to headquarters.
However, Nick Fury, upon receiving the report, was not overly concerned. Due to Agent Coulson's consistent competence, he believed Agent Coulson would not mess things up.
Nevertheless, he ordered them to approach and assist without carrying weapons.
Meanwhile, at Reynolds' home, Agent Coulson began consciously guiding him to answer more questions to test his willingness to become a Superhero.
After a series of tests, Agent Coulson had reached an initial conclusion.
He believed that while Reynolds now possessed immense power, he had not been corrupted by it.
However, he could also vaguely sense that Reynolds' personality seemed to have some issues, which was a point worth noting.
Yet, compared to the power he wielded, these issues were manageable.
After all, before him, the big green guy was also very unstable, but after some targeted training, he had gradually learned to control the anger in his heart!
At least he wouldn't just transform into an irrational Beast at the slightest provocation.
Therefore, when he felt the time was right, Agent Coulson began to address the main topic!
"Mr. Reynolds, there is an opportunity, I wonder if you are interested! I mean, for you to join the S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Team and protect our World alongside Captain America and the others!"
Although not averse to becoming a hero, and even yearning for it, when he actually received Agent Coulson's invitation, Reynolds found himself a bit indecisive!
Agent Coulson saw his wavering and continued:
"Mr. Reynolds, I believe you also know that this World is not peaceful."
"Besides us, there are indeed many other ancient forces in this World. If we can find you, other forces will also find you."
"Your power is immense, and no one can harm you, but your life is destined not to be peaceful, because your wife is just an ordinary person, and those guys might use your wife to threaten you."
When Agent Coulson said this, Reynolds immediately stood up, his body shimmering with golden light, instantly transforming into the Sentinel. Terrifying power surged, but he suppressed it.
"As long as I am here, I will not let anyone harm Lindy."
In Reynolds' heart, perhaps his wife was the only 'reverse scale' now!
"Director, that high-energy reaction has appeared again, precisely where Agent Coulson is. Should we send reinforcements?"
The moment the Sentinel erupted, the monitoring instruments within S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately detected the terrifying energy it emitted.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Team, prepare to depart. Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not engage in combat within the city, or the entire New York City will suffer immeasurable destruction."
Nick Fury had no other choice when he saw such a situation but to order the S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Team to go and handle it.
He secretly prayed that things would not escalate to that point.
And at this moment, Agent Coulson, who was facing the Sentinel at close range, couldn't help but turn pale. This feeling was even more terrifying than facing a rampaging Hulk. Was this the power he possessed?
However, it came and went quickly; the Sentinel soon withdrew his power.
Because in that instant, he felt that thing inside his body again.
Lindy, who was on the second floor, also ran down in a panic at this moment, finally breathing a sigh of relief after seeing that Agent Coulson was unharmed.
She was truly afraid that her husband would do something terrible in a moment of impulse.
"Robert, are you alright?"
Lindy immediately ran forward and hugged Reynolds, asking.
"I'm fine, Lindy, don't worry!"
Seeing his wife's worried expression, Reynolds gently comforted her.
Now calm, he began to seriously ponder Agent Coulson's words.
He understood what the other party meant; he couldn't follow his wife twenty-four hours a day, and if he was negligent, Lindy could very likely be harmed.
"Agent Coulson, do you have a way to protect Lindy from being disturbed?"
Thinking of this, Reynolds asked Agent Coulson.
"Mr. Reynolds, we can provide you with a safer living environment and help you change your personal information, making you completely unrelated to this matter."
"Please rest assured, you can live normally without any impact."
Agent Coulson said with certainty.
Because these things were indeed not difficult for them. They could even arrange for several Agents to provide 24-hour rotating protection, as the Sentinel's relative, her value justified such measures.
However, these words were all lies, as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrets were no secret at all, because its internal structure was already riddled with holes.
Although HYDRA had gone silent, it didn't mean they were dead; this was one of the most tenacious villain organizations.
Especially, he didn't know that Captain America's former archenemy, Red Skull, was about to return from the Universe!
Ever since Alexander Pierce took over as the Soul Keeper, he had found a way to escape Vormir and then went into exile in the Universe.
Relying on his strange possession ability, he had already established an even more powerful Interstellar HYDRA organization in the Universe, but he still yearned for Earth and was preparing to return!
Of course, he didn't know these things, nor did Nick Fury, and even the HYDRA moles within S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't know.
Everything would have to wait until My Lord returned to give them a "surprise"!
Furthermore, after hearing Agent Coulson's words, Reynolds thought it over carefully and decided he could trust him, so he agreed!
"Remember your promise, if Lindy suffers even the slightest harm, I will not be polite."
However, despite agreeing, Reynolds still said forcefully.
"Of course, then welcome to the team, Mr. Reynolds. What hero name would you like to choose for yourself?"
With the matter settled, Agent Coulson asked Reynolds what he wanted to use as his codename, as every Superhero had his own unique codename.
"Sentinel! The Sentinel guarding the dawn!"
Reynolds didn't hesitate at all and immediately decided on Sentinel as his hero codename.
"OK, Mr. Sentinel, when do you have time? I need to take you to meet your future teammates!"
The mission was successfully completed, and a heavy weight was lifted from Agent Coulson's heart!
"I don't think that's necessary, they're already here!"
At this, the Sentinel's eyes were like lightning as he looked outside.
Seeing this, Agent Coulson quickly ran out to explain to Captain America and the others, to avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary conflicts.
Upon seeing Agent Coulson safe and sound, Captain America and the others also felt relieved!
Then, after hearing him explain everything, they were inevitably a little happy, after all, a powerful friend was so much better than a powerful enemy!
The only one who was a little unhappy was Hulk, who was still bothered by his previous defeat, but with Bruce's suppression, nothing happened.
