Although Skye's hacking skills are very good, Russell still decided to let No. 3 test it.

Some things are difficult to get accurate answers to without actually testing them.

After giving orders to No. 3, Russell started playing games with the levitating cloak again.

Soon, night fell.

After nightfall, Russell and Diana did not return to the apartment where they lived, but planned to stay at the Zhenglian headquarters for a few days.

Before Diana's identity was made public, there would be reporters wandering around underneath the building from time to time, trying to capture some exciting and exclusive inside information.

Now that Diana's identity has been revealed, there will only be more reporters wandering downstairs of the building than before.

In order to avoid these annoying reporters, they decided to stay at Zhenglian headquarters for a few days.

Living in the Zhenglian headquarters, apart from not being harassed by reporters, there is another advantage, that is, Diana can take over everything in Zhenglian more conveniently.

After enjoying the skills of the robot chef at the Zhenglian restaurant, Russell and Diana had a little discussion on the training ground.

After the post-dinner exercise, they returned to the room and played a few games of flying chess before officially ending the day.

The next morning.

Russell's study.

"Good morning, sir."

Bakshi in a neat suit brought Bucky with a frosty face to the study room and said respectfully to Russell.

"Sit down and talk."

"Okay, sir!"

Bakshi bowed slightly and sat down.

Bucky did not sit down, but stood behind Bakshi like a bodyguard.

"Tell me, what kind of responses did those Hydra branches give?"

Russell asked calmly.

In fact, no matter what answers those Hydra branches gave, it would not affect his plan.

The only difference is whether people will die and how many people will die.

"According to your previous arrangements, sir, and your instructions the day before yesterday, I contacted all branches of Hydra and met with several of their leaders."

"Because I did not fully disclose your matter to them, sir, so until now, they have not agreed."

After saying this, Bakshi showed an expression of shame and guilt.

"Since they don't agree, there's no need to be polite to them."

"You hand over all their information to No. 3, and I will handle this matter myself."

"There is no need to continue the plan over at the high table to scare the monkeys. You should rest for a while. I will come back to you if anything happens."

Russell's expression was as calm as ever, as if he didn't take the rejection from Hydra branches to heart at all.

Bakshi nodded, and then left the study with Bucky.

After they left, Russell said to No. 3: "After receiving the information from Bakshi, send me the information about Pierce's branch."

"Okay, sir!"

No. 3 replied immediately.

After giving orders to No. 3, Russell went to Diana's study and spoke to Diana.

Then, he left the Zhenglian headquarters alone.

After leaving the Zhenglian headquarters, Russell did not go to the Octopus Monster headquarters building or return to his apartment. Instead, he took a self-driving Porsche 911 to a coffee shop in Manhattan.

Not long after he sat down at the window seat, Natasha, dressed casually, came to the cafe.

After entering the coffee shop, Natasha first scanned the environment inside the store, and then came to sit in front of Russell.

"Now is not a good time to meet, especially in public."

After sitting down, Natasha took off her sunglasses and said coldly.

"Any questions?"

"If I remember correctly, you said that after the Cosmic Cube incident is over, you should slowly deal with brainwashing with me."

Russell didn't care about Natasha's cold tone and said with a smile.

"Are you sure you want to talk about this here?"

Natasha raised her eyebrows and looked at Russell fiercely.

"Isn't it suitable here? The environment is elegant and there are not many guests."

Russell still had the same indifferent expression.

"Since you don't mind, let's talk about it!"

After speaking, Natasha called the waiter in the store over and ordered a latte and some snacks.

When the waiter left, Russell looked at Natasha's seductive face and said with a smile: "Everyone is so familiar with each other, so there is no need to waste time anymore. Tell me, how are you going to settle the brainwashing account with me?"

?”

"Not ready yet!"

Natasha said quickly.

"Did you not think about it well, or did you not plan to settle it with me?"

Russell continued to ask.

Although Natasha behaved very rudely, she had been his subordinate for a period of time in a brainwashed state, so he knew Natasha fairly well.

If Natasha really hadn't thought about it, she wouldn't have come here today.

"You're overthinking it. I'm not as generous as your girlfriend Diana."

Natasha rolled her eyes at him.

"You are indeed not as generous as Diana!"

After speaking, Russell nodded seriously.

"you……"

Although she had seen many scoundrels and scoundrels, Natasha had to admit that Russell could always use the simplest method to arouse her displeasure.

If she hadn't been Russell's opponent, she would have really wanted to teach Russell a lesson.

"Okay, no more joking."

"You did not take the initiative to tell Nick Fury after the brainwashing was lifted, but chose to tell me. This shows that you have already thought about the consequences over and over."

"If you really want to settle a score with me, you won't talk to me on the helicarrier, and you won't come out to meet me today."

Russell picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said calmly.

"Looking at how you look now, you seem to have already thought about how you are going to compensate me?"

Natasha is indeed a top professional agent, and she immediately guessed Russell's true thoughts from his answers and performance.

"Rather than saying it's compensation, it's better to say everyone gets what they need. Of course, if you regard this as compensation, that's fine too."

Russell said with a smile.

"What on earth is it?"

Natasha asked directly without wasting her brain cells on guessing.

"The HYDRA list hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

After hearing Russell's words, Natasha's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

Although Russell had told her last time that there were many undercover Hydra agents in SHIELD, and she had also found some clues herself.

But Natasha still didn't expect that what Russell wanted to give her was actually the Hydra list hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Are you telling the truth?"

An expression of disbelief appeared on Natasha's face.

"I never joke about things like this."

"Why did you give me the list?"

Natasha continued to ask.

"As I said just now, it's just about everyone getting what they need."

"I have some small conflicts with the Hydras hidden in SHIELD. Although I can solve them myself, solving them will also be of great benefit to SHIELD, so I think you won't refuse this time.

Cooperation."
