"Ancient breath? Are you sure?"

It's not that Diana doesn't believe in Russell, but that the extraordinary abilities that Russell currently possesses are all extraordinary abilities that tend to be physical.

Although he now possesses divine powers, he has not yet mastered the proper use of these divine powers.

Although Diana helped Russell think of some solutions, the effect was not optimistic.

"Of course, in addition to seeing Callum of the Assassin Brotherhood today, I also saw the Supreme Mage Ancient One."

Russell briefly explained that he went to see Gu Yi and that Gu Yi wanted to accept him as a student.

After he finished speaking, he also took out the four thick brick-like magic books in the system space.

Diana took the magic book handed by Russell and looked at it quickly.

"It seems that you had a very fulfilling day today!"

Diana closed the "New Cosmos" in her hand, looked at Russell, and said softly.

"Okay!"

Russell replied with a smile.

He didn't tell Diana that he played Ludo with the blonde secretary Ellie and Gwen.

Otherwise, Diana's eyes would never be so gentle when she looked at him now.

He played flying chess with his female secretary in the morning and Gwen in the afternoon.

Although Diana didn't mind him drinking tea outside, if Diana knew that she not only played flying chess with a woman that day, even if Diana could tolerate him drinking tea outside, she would inevitably be a little jealous.

"Although I don't know the Supreme Master Gu Yi, from your description, he should have no ill intentions towards you."

"Otherwise, it is difficult for you, who are not proficient in magic at all, to leave the Supreme Sanctuary."

Diana's tone became serious.

"Since she is willing to be your magic teacher, then you can follow her to learn magic."

"It's not a bad thing for you to have such a powerful mage teach you magic."

Diana gave her opinion.

"Well, that's what I thought too."

Russell agreed.

"There won't be a big problem with Gu Yi. How do you plan to solve the Assassin Brotherhood and the Fragment of Eden?"

Diana then asked.

Although Russell just briefly told her about the Assassin Brotherhood and the Pieces of Eden, Diana knew that Russell had now developed a lot of interest in the Pieces of Eden.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mention it specifically.

"There are no specific plans yet, but I plan to let Winston get a seat at the high table first, and then see if I can use the name of the high table to participate in the affairs between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar."

"It's not convenient for Zhenglian to intervene in this matter, so I consider doing it in the name of High Table."

Russell looked at Diana's pretty face without any flaws and said slowly.

"It is indeed appropriate to intervene in the name of the high table. You are now a well-known superhero. Intervening in the name of Zhenglian will only cause trouble."

Diana, although not much interested in the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Knights Templar, was somewhat interested in what Russell referred to as the Pieces of Eden.

Although these Eden fragments have nothing to do with the gods in myths and legends, she is very interested in human culture stones and archaeology.

If the fragments of the Garden of Eden were indeed, as Russell claims, tools made by the human creators "the Forerunners" to rule over mankind, then this would be an unknown and archaeologically valuable history.

"Okay, then I'll use the name of the high table to participate in this event to see if I can find the so-called Pieces of Eden."

Russell replied calmly.

After talking about these things with Diana, they chatted in the living room for more than ten minutes about normal topics between lovers.

Then, the night before going to bed began.

After playing a game of flying chess against Diana, the day finally came to an end.

Another full and happy day!

…………

the next day.

After eating the breakfast made by Diana in the apartment, Russell flew out directly from the balcony of the apartment as before and came to the office of the Octopus Monster headquarters.

"No. 3, investigate which company published the game Assassin's Creed. I want to know who the publisher behind the scenes is."

"Also, contact Bakshi, I have something to ask him."

Russell sat in the boss chair and said to No. 3.

"Okay, sir!"

No. 3 replied immediately.

The next second, a holographic projection screen appeared in front of Russell.

The screen shows a picture of the phone being dialed.

After waiting for more than twenty seconds, the call was connected.

Bakshi's face appeared on the screen with a respectful expression.

"Sir, are you looking for me for something?"

Bakshi said respectfully.

"Yes, I want to know if Hydra has a seat at the high table in the Continental Hotel?"

"Where, if any, are the seats?"

"If not, then investigate to see if there are any Hydra allies among the current representatives of the high table."

Russell ordered to Bakshi.

"Okay, sir, I'll check right away."

Bakshi quickly replied.

"There's nothing else to do, let's do it first!"

After speaking, Russell directly closed the holographic projection screen in front of him.

According to common sense, as a well-known **** stick in the Marvel world, Hydra is likely to have a seat at the high table.

The only problem is that there is no way of knowing which branch of Hydra is occupying the seat at the high table.

On the surface, Hydra is an organization.

But in fact, Hydra is just like the current federal system in the United States.

On the surface, everyone is a group, but the states below have considerable autonomy.

This is also why the same law that under the age of 21 cannot drink alcohol has different judicial interpretations in different states.

Russell will now help Winston secure a seat at the high table, but he will not prioritise force.

If there is an easier way, of course he will choose the easier way.

After finishing the call with Bakshi, Russell picked up the phone on the table, pressed the internal contact number, and called Ellie from outside the office.

Although it is not yet time for him to deal with the chairman's daily affairs, he wants to see if Ellie today has replaced the big golden waves with golden double ponytails as he said yesterday.

Not long after putting down the phone, Ellie, wearing a gray OL uniform and black silk, walked into the office with high heels.

When Ellie opened the office door, Russell didn't immediately look at Ellie's outfit today, but focused on her hairstyle.

Golden double ponytail!

Although the golden double ponytail is not the hairstyle that can bring out the charm of Ellie the most, Ellie still obediently replaced the big waves with double ponytails.

This female secretary is very self-motivated!

After entering the office, Ellie went straight to Russell and asked Russell, "Sir, is there anything I need to deal with?"

Although there are only herself and Russell in the office, Ellie once again proved what it means to be professional with practical actions.

Now she has not made any moves to tempt Russell, showing the professional qualities that a female secretary should have.

"Nothing, I just want to see your hairstyle today."

Russell said slowly.

Although he could use perspective and farsightedness to directly see if Ellie had changed her hairstyle to a double ponytail today, he didn't.

Although you can see Ellie's hairstyle today with perspective and farsightedness, it is obviously better to let Ellie in than to "peep" with perspective and farsightedness.

After hearing Russell's words, a blush appeared on Ellie's fair and delicate face.

Although she didn't know whether the shy blush on her face was pretending, or whether it was a reflection of her innermost thoughts.

But I have to say that when the melon seeds have this blush on her face, Ellie looks more attractive, like a ripe apple, which makes people have an urge to take a bite immediately.

However, now Russell is well in control of his instinctive reactions.

He had just had a morning exercise with Diana this morning, and worldly desires were now suppressed to a minimum.

"Sir, you made a special order yesterday. Of course, I will change my hairstyle to a double ponytail."

"Meeting your request, sir, is Ellie's job."

Ellie spoke slowly in a soft and seductive voice.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, you go out first."

Ellie's soft, waxy voice did not arouse the mundane thoughts in Russell's body.

"Okay, sir."

Although Russell's current answer was somewhat unexpected, Ellie didn't care too much and replied quickly.

After Ellie left the office on stiletto heels and swaying her alluring waist, No. 3's voice rang out.

"Sir, this is the development team and publisher profile of the Assassin's Creed game."

As soon as the voice fell, No. 3 projected the collected data on a holographic screen.

Russell quickly browsed through the information found on No. 3, and said slowly: "Find a private investigator to investigate these leaders and the boss behind the publishing company."

"Okay, sir!"

No. 3 replied quickly.

After instructing No. 3, Russell picked up the gamepad and started playing the game again from Assassin's Creed 1.

This time, he did not deliberately suppress his reaction speed and control ability, and started his own customs clearance journey just like a fast-attack player who specializes in the speed of customs clearance.

He should be the first and only one to use the super response of Krypton's physique in the game speed pass.

Although it was a speedrun game, he did not ignore the information that may be hidden in the game, especially the information about the golden apples of the fragments of Eden.

While it is unlikely that the game was developed by the man who knew about the feud between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar, the information in it was definitely provided by him.

If the world did not have the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar, Russell would treat the information in the game as a fictionalized content by the game development team.

But the presence of Callum and the Assassin Brotherhood shows that the content inside is 80% true.

While he doesn't yet know who arranged the studio to develop the game, the guy behind the scenes definitely has other purposes.

Maybe this guy has golden apples or other pieces of Eden in his hands.

Time passed little by little.

Because he no longer suppressed his reaction speed and control ability far exceeding ordinary people, Russell completed all three Assassin's Creeds that had been released in just one morning.

After putting down the gamepad in his hand, he compared the information obtained in the game with the information in his mind one by one.

The game plot is not much different from what he remembered.

Except for the individual characters whose names are different, everything else is roughly the same.

He did not focus on the plot and characters, but compared the golden apple information revealed in the game with the golden apple information in his mind.

If he only looked at the golden apple information revealed in the game, it was not much different from the golden apple in his memory.

However, since only three Assassin's Creed films have been released so far, he is not sure whether the fragments of the Garden of Eden in this world are exactly the same as in his memory.

It can only be said that from the current situation, the high probability will be the same.

After comparing the golden apple information in the game with the information in his mind, he had a casual lunch at the company's restaurant.

Afterwards, he returned to the office to bask in the sun and started his own magic learning journey.

To say that it is learning is actually to gradually comprehend the magical knowledge that has been memorized by rote in the mind.

Although it is not convenient for him to practice these magical knowledge now, and the Supreme Mage Gu Yi can't teach him hand-in-hand like he did with Doctor Strange, it is not particularly difficult for him to understand these contents.

Isn't that just not treating the science of this world as science?

This is not difficult at all.

Because he himself often does some unscientific things.

While basking in the sun to enhance his Kryptonian physique, he comprehends the magical knowledge in his brain.

Before I knew it, three hours had passed.

Just when Russell was considering whether to lie down on the sofa and sleep directly, the knock on the door suddenly rang.

"Come in!"

Russell sat up and said directly.

In the next second, Ellie with two ponytails walked in with the documents to be signed today.

After coming to Russell, Ellie handed the document in her hand to Russell.

Then, he showed a charming smile and said in a seductive tone, "Sir, you look a little tired, do you need to help you relax?"

Ellie began to take the initiative to show her self-motivation.

"Okay, just give me a shoulder."

Russell didn't plan to repeat what he did yesterday, and said to Ellie.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ellie came behind him, stretched out her white and delicate hands, and massaged gently on his shoulders.

When Ellie performed the massage technique she had specially practiced, Russell browsed the documents in her hand and signed the documents that were not in question.

In less than ten minutes, he solved today's chairman's job.

After doing this, he had no plans to play flying chess with Ellie, so Ellie left the office.

Although Ellie would never mind continuing with what he did yesterday, when signing the document, he suddenly remembered something.

If the fragments of the Garden of Eden had appeared in modern times, then SHIELD, which has a habit of collecting all kinds of magical items, would never miss the opportunity to collect the fragments of the Garden of Eden.

Thinking of this, he once again asked No. 3 to contact Bakshi.

Soon, Bakshi's face appeared on the holographic projection screen.

"How far have you dealt with Pierce's forces?"

Russell asked directly.

"I just contacted a few of the middle-level cadres. They are not very happy to accept my inclusion. I am still trying to figure out a way."

Bakshi quickly replied.

"Get the people from Pierce's team as soon as possible, if not, then let Bucky take Bai Jue to visit them."

"Okay, sir, I know what to do."

Although Russell's tone is calm now, in Bakshi's view, this is Russell's condemnation of his incompetence.

Among the three people who had been brainwashed, Bakshi was the one with the best brainwashing effect.

Although Natasha and Bucky have also been brainwashed, they still retain some of their previous personalities.

As for Bakshi, it was as if the system had been completely reinstalled.

If it wasn't for knowing that Russell didn't like his subordinates who licked dogs too much, Bakshi would even lick dogs more than Grendel.

"Get it done as soon as possible to succeed Whitehall and Pierce as leaders."

"Okay, sir!"

After reminding Bakshi again, Russell turned off the holographic screen.

Bakshi couldn't count on it for the time being, so he could only get news from Natasha.

But the problem is, Natasha has been out of touch for a while.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of S.H.I.E.L.D., apart from brainwashing, Russell did not arrange any hands and feet on Natasha.

Unless Natasha took the initiative to contact, otherwise, he really didn't have much way to find Natasha.

Although he doesn't know where Natasha was arranged by Nick Fury, but if he wants to know if there is any information about the Pieces of Eden in S.H.I.E.L.D., in addition to letting Natasha collect information from the inside, there is also a Simpler and cruder method.

Since the internal spies can't get in touch, let's invade from the outside.

"No. 3, find a way to invade the database of the New York branch of SHIELD, and try to be as secretive as possible."

"If you need it, you can contact the hacker organizations like Rising Tide to work together. You can just withdraw as much money as you need from my account."

Russell instructed No. 3.

"Okay, sir!"

The mechanical synthesis sound of No. 3 sounded immediately.

It is also artificial intelligence, Jarvis can hide himself in the Internet after being attacked by Ultron, secretly protect the military's nuclear weapons password, and prevent Ultron from getting the nuclear weapons password.

Although Russell didn't let No. 3 do such a crazy thing, in terms of performance, No. 3 is not weaker than Jarvis, and may even be stronger than Jarvis.

Previously, due to lack of funds and resources, Russell could not make No. 3 play the same ability as Jarvis.

But with the establishment of the octopus industry and the receipt of a large amount of money, No. 3 can now mobilize no less resources than Jarvis.

Except for the main body program that is still stored in the Endosymbiotic Warframe, the subprograms of No. 3 are spread across all industries of the Octopus Monster Industry.

Let No. 3, who is an artificial intelligence, hack the database of the New York branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., which can be regarded as letting No. 3 perform in his field of expertise.

After instructing No. 3, Russell did not intend to stay in the office to bask in the sun, and flew towards Zhenglian headquarters.

Gwen and Perkins are still in Zhenglian headquarters.

In less than a minute, he flew from the office of the Octopus Headquarters to the sky above the Zhenglian Headquarters.

Before landing, he saw Gwen and Peter who were fighting on the training ground.

After floating in the air to observe Gwen and Peter's fight, he went directly to the guest room where Perkins lived.

Because without Russell's permission, after returning to Zhenglian headquarters last night, Perkins stayed in the guest room and did not go anywhere.

Even breakfast and lunch were delivered by the robot arranged by No. 3.

At this time, Perkins was lying on the sofa in the guest room bored watching TV.

Although she doesn't like watching TV at all, here, she can only pass the time through these boring soap operas.

"It seems that you are quite used to living there."

Perkins did not notice Russell's arrival.

She didn't react until Russell's voice came from the balcony.

After hearing Russell's voice, Perkins, who was lying on the sofa with a lazy look, immediately stood up.

"You finally came."

Perkins said to Russell.

"Don't be so restrained, sit down and talk."

Russell took the lead to sit down and said to Perkins.

When Perkins also sat down, he continued: "Although the arrest order at the high table has not been cancelled, you don't have to worry, if there is any movement at the high table, Winston will contact me. ."

Perkins nodded in understanding.

Knowing that Russell was going to help Winston get a seat at the high table, Perkins knew he didn't have to worry too much about Winston sending someone to catch him.

However, although Winston would not shoot at her again, it did not mean that the high table would not continue to shoot at her.

The direct hitmen sent by the High Table are still in New York.

Who knows if the high table will go past Winston and give orders directly to these direct hitmen.

"But I still have the possibility of being attacked, don't I?"

Perkins asked rhetorically.

"Yes, the order of the high table is not cancelled for a day, and you will be in danger of being attacked."

Russell does not deny this.

"Then how do you plan to arrange me, raise me here like a canary, or let me be your subordinate?"

Although Russell hadn't told her these things, Perkins wasn't stupid.

Russell didn't save her in vain yesterday~lightnovelpub.net~ She knows this very well.

"Whether it's a canary or my subordinate, you're still missing something."

Russell said calmly.

"Your trust, right?"

Perkins asked immediately.

"That's right!"

"Although everyone has known each other for a long time, I still don't trust you very much."

"Well, if you are willing to accept a small experiment, I will agree to let you be my subordinate and accept my shelter."

"If you don't want to, for the sake of everyone getting to know each other, I won't embarrass you. You can choose to leave."

"With your ability, as long as you are willing to remain anonymous, there is a high probability that you can escape the arrest of the high table."

Russell said calmly.
