“Nick, we have decided to reinstate you as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.” A male senator’s voice slowly rang out, reaching Nick’s ears.
Nick was slightly taken aback, and after a moment, his expression turned serious: "What exactly happened?"
"Turn on the TV," the male senator's voice continued.
Nick walked to the television with some hesitation, turned it on, and then looked at it—the television was sitting there, basically never used, and why would he be asked to turn it on in this situation?
Nick watched the content displayed on the TV, his doubt slowly turning into a smile. Then, his smile grew wider and wider until finally, Nick couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I knew that kid Gel could do it."
After laughing for a long time, Nick slowly stopped smiling, looked around, and the solemnity in his eyes made the eight senators lower their heads.

Furthermore, under the influence of nuclear weapons, all those who died have come back to life. They can already foresee how terrible the public opinion against them will be.
They knew this principle, and Nick knew it too.
That's why they tried to find Nick and ask him to intercede for them—regardless of public opinion, all they wanted at that moment was to save their lives, which was their most precious possession and something they absolutely could not lose.
Nick glanced at the faces of the eight senators, a hint of mockery flashing across his face. His cold voice slowly echoed in the space, then permeated the ears of each senator through the holographic projection, shattering the last shred of illusion in their hearts.
