An estate on the outskirts of Hanover, the capital of the German state of Lower Saxony.

From the outside, this manor is no different from other manors with a certain history.

In reality, however, this is a secret base for Gideon Malik.

In other words, this is a secret base of the orthodox Hydra.

Russell did not open the portal's exit inside the manor, but in front of the manor's gate.

When he and Skye came out of the portal, the guards at the gate of the manor had drawn their pistols and aimed them at them.

Although he was pointed at by a pistol, Russell didn't take these guards to heart at all and looked at them calmly.

Unlike the calm Russell, Skye involuntarily put his right hand on the pistol on his waist, as if he would draw a gun and shoot at any time.

"This is a private territory, and no visits are accepted!"

Standing in the middle, the guard who seemed to be the squad leader said seriously to Russell.

If it wasn't for recognizing that the person who came out of the portal was Russell, the guard would never have said anything to him, but instead fired a shot.

"Tell Gideon Malik I'll wait for him here for three minutes and if he doesn't come out, don't blame me for punching in."

Russell directly ignored the guard's warning and said unhurriedly.

"There is no one here, I warn you one last time, leave quickly, or don't blame us for being rude to you!"

You're welcome to me?

After hearing these words from the captain of the guard, Russell shook his head with a smile.

"Okay, I'd like to see how you're being rude to me!"

After speaking, Russell walked towards the guard, as if he didn't see the pistol in his hand pointing at his head at all.

Three meters, two meters, one meter...

Russell thought the guard would choose to shoot.

However, it turned out that he thought too much.

The guard did not pull the trigger until he came to the guard who was suspected to be the squad leader.

After looking at the guard with a calm face, he stretched out his right hand and took off the phone on the guard.

"Gideon Malik, my patience is limited, you still have two minutes and forty-five seconds."

After speaking, Russell threw the phone back to the guard in front of him.

Then, turned around and went back to Skye.

As soon as he came back, Skye whispered to him, "Aren't you afraid of them shooting?"

"What's there to be afraid of, the pistols in their hands are no threat to me."

Russell said calmly.

"Just because you're not afraid of bullets doesn't mean I'm not. What if they shoot at me?"

Skye was a little pissed.

"First of all, if you stand in place like a log and get hit by them, you can only say that you failed in your studies during this time."

"Secondly, if you are really hit by a bullet, I have a way to cure you without even leaving a scar."

"Finally, you should look at who their guns are aimed at before wondering if they're going to shoot you."

Perkins can teach Skye to melee combat in the ring or to teach Skye to shoot at the shooting range.

But actual combat experience is something that you can only have after you have experienced it yourself.

Russell brought Skye here on purpose, not to ask Skye to make a vase, but to use this action to teach Skye something that could not be learned in the ring and shooting range.

When he finished speaking, Skye frowned, showing an unhappy expression.

Although what Russell said was right, it would still make people unhappy to be said by him.

Especially for a woman in her early twenties like Skye.

After glaring at Russell, Skye continued: "If Gideon Malik doesn't come out, do you really want to get in?"

"Of course, I never joke about this kind of thing!"

As soon as he walked out of the portal, Russell observed the environment inside the manor with perspective and farsightedness.

Although there are many Hydra warriors in the manor, for him, even if the manor is full of Hydra warriors, it will not have any effect on him.

Without the restraint of advanced combat power, the Hydra warriors in the manor are just a number.

"Aren't you afraid of affecting your reputation and Zhenglian's reputation by doing this?"

Skye asked suspiciously.

She didn't know Gideon Malik, and she didn't know that the manor was full of Hydra people.

"Why should you be afraid, they are all hydras, and killing them can be regarded as killing harm for the people."

Having said that, Russell turned to look at the guards in front of the gate.

He hadn't been able to lower his voice just now, so that the guards could clearly hear what he was saying.

Hydra?

Skye widened her big Kazlan eyes and looked at Russell in disbelief.

She would never have thought that the first task Russell took her to perform was to deal with Hydra.

I'm just a hacker!

I can't handle a terrorist organization like Hydra!

"It's just a hydra, don't make such a fuss, you will encounter more difficult enemies than them in the future."

Russell said calmly.

For ordinary people, Hydra is indeed a very dangerous terrorist organization.

But for those with extraordinary abilities, there is nothing too noteworthy about Hydra except for a little more people and a little more money.

Not to mention Russell and Zhenglian, even Daredevil and Punisher who were killed by him have the strength to deal with Hydra.

Of course, they can't deal with Hydra as easily as Russell, and there is still the danger of death.

"you……"

Skye had wanted to tell Russell that he was a lunatic.

However, just as she was about to say it, she remembered some of Russell's past achievements.

Forehead……

Compared with some of the enemies that Russell had dealt with before, Hydra seemed to be nothing.

At least it can't be compared with the Godzilla and aliens that Russell has dealt with.

Time passed little by little.

Just when Russell thought that Gideon Malik would choose to sneak away or resist desperately, Gideon Malik brought his beautiful daughter, Stephanie Malik, with long smooth blond hair, to the manor. in front of the gate.

Along with them, there were several Hydra warriors in black suits.

And Gideon Malik's most powerful subordinate, the Inhuman Jiera who can control all non-living objects.

"Mr. Bradley, please don't take offense!"

After coming to Russell, Gideon Malik said with a smile on his face.

"Come in and talk!"

Russell looked at Gideon Malik and his daughter Stephanie Malik and said calmly.

Forehead……

After hearing Russell's words, Gideon's face became a little ugly.

He came out according to Russell's request, but Russell said to enter the manor and talk.

"Okay!"

Gideon is worthy of being a human being.

He didn't show any dissatisfaction and said with a smile.

A few minutes later.

The reception room of the manor house.

Russell and Skye were sitting on the same sofa, Gideon and Stephanie were sitting on the opposite sofa.

Gideon did not let any of the guards remain, except for Jiera, the Inhuman's subordinate.

After pouring tea for the four of them, the maid in maid outfit left the reception room and gently closed the door of the reception room.

When only a few of himself were left in the reception room, Gideon said slowly: "I don't know what is going on here, Mr. Bradley?"

Russell first took a sip of the hot black tea on the table, and then said calmly, "My artificial intelligence assistant has contacted you a few days ago. You know exactly why I am here."

"Your AI assistant did contact me, but I didn't quite understand what it meant."

Gideon started to play dumb.

"If you say that, then I don't think we need to talk."

Russell put down the teacup in his hand and said to Gideon.

"Mr. Bradley, don't deceive people too much!"

Gideon put away the smile on his face and said in a cold tone.

"Too deceiving? Gideon, don't you think it's funny you say that?"

"Just you, are you worthy of saying that I deceived people too much?"

Russell didn't intend to continue to waste saliva with Gideon.

If Gideon was willing to cooperate, he wouldn't mind keeping Gideon alive, he wouldn't have a good few years to live anyway.

But if Gideon didn't cooperate at all, he wouldn't care if Gideon was the leader of the orthodox Hydra, much less what trouble Gideon would cause after his death.

The atmosphere in the reception room became tense.

Standing behind Gideon, the inhuman Giella was ready to strike at any time.

At this moment, Stephanie, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Bradley, that's not what my father meant."

"You want to talk to us about the hive. I don't know what you want to talk about?"

Stephanie's words instantly eased the tense atmosphere in the reception room.

"It's very simple, I want the black boulder that goes to the Death Star in your hands."

Black boulders?

After hearing his words, Gideon and Stephanie frowned involuntarily.

They thought that Russell just heard about the hive, but they didn't expect that Russell even knew that they had a black boulder in their hands.

If Russell wanted anything else, he gave it.

But the black boulder was their only hope to get the hive back from the Death Star.

If the black boulder is handed over to Russell, it means that they have completely given up the hope of welcoming back the hive and the tradition they have insisted on for thousands of years.

"Mr. Bradley, since you know about the black boulder and the hive, you should know how important it is to us."

Stephanie frowned.

She now felt Gideon's helpless feeling just now.

"I know exactly what you are doing, and I also know what you are doing to welcome back the hive."

"However, I can tell you very clearly that you don't know what kind of existence the hive is."

"You want to rule the earth with the power of the hive, I can only say, you think too much."

If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to waste time looking for where the black boulder was hidden by Gideon, Russell would be too lazy to tell them this.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Bradley?"

Stephanie continued.

Russell did not answer Stephanie immediately, but turned to look at Gideon.

Then, he said unhurriedly: "Since you know that the hive can parasitize other people's bodies to achieve immortality in another sense, then you should know that the hive can fully accept all the memories of the original owner of the body."

"Gideon, do you remember the promise you made with Nassar?"

When Russell uttered Nasa's name, Gideon had an incredulous look on his face.

How can it be?

How could he possibly know about me and Nassar?

Gideon's strangeness caught Stephanie's attention.

When she first heard Nasa's name, Stephanie didn't immediately remember that this was the uncle she had never met.

But after seeing Gideon's expression, she immediately reacted.

At the same time, she remembered the supreme sacrifice tradition in the family that had been passed down for thousands of years.

"What else do you know?"

Gideon gritted his teeth and said to Russell.

"What else do I know, it doesn't matter."

"It's important that when the hive returns to Earth, none of you will survive."

"You are not aliens, in the eyes of the hive, you are just food."

"You regard the hive as gods, but unfortunately, in the eyes of your gods, you are not much different from pigs and cattle."

Russell is not surprised that Gideon and others will believe in the hive.

However, this did not affect his feeling that Gideon and others were a little too naive.

That's right!

If they can bring the hive back to Earth, the hive may indeed help them conquer the planet.

But they ignore a very important problem, that is, this kind of thinking of them only exists in an ideal state.

To put it simply, these beautiful fantasies of them are based on the premise that Hive is a good person who reciprocates.

And it turns out that Hive isn't a good guy.

What's more, even the Cree who created the Inhumans could not completely control the hive, and could only choose to exile the hive to the Death Star.

Gideon and the others only saw the power of the hive, and did not think of the danger of the hive at all.

The hive has never been a god.

If I have to say it, the hive is a devil, a devil that is not controlled by anyone.

After being reminded by Russell, Gideon thought about many questions that he had not thought about before.

After pondering for more than ten seconds, he said again: "If I give you the black boulder, what will you do with the hive?"

"It's very simple~lightnovelpub.net~ Kill him completely!"

Russell said calmly.

After hearing his answer, it was Stephanie's turn to show an incredible expression.

She did not expect that her father, Gideon, would completely change his mind in just ten seconds.

That was the hive, the **** of Hydra, the hive that their family would bring back even at the expense of their clansmen.

"How are you going to kill him?"

Gideon asked again.

"This has nothing to do with you, you just hand over the black boulder to me!"

"In addition, in return, I allow you to bring some of your members into my command, so as to avoid the capture and destruction of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Sticks and carrots have always been the best pairing.

After the threat, Russell doesn't mind giving Gideon some carrots.
