"What is this?" General Hale asked, pointing to Ruby's waist.
Since Ruby came back from the White House, she walked straight into her room in the youth training camp. She seemed to have changed, and she didn't go to find what she liked to eat immediately. General Hale initially said
She thought this was the restless mentality of a teenage girl, until she saw Ruby took out a folding long hunting knife, a large-caliber pistol and a folded hand crossbow for silent assassinations from her suitcase and hung them on the
On the waist, these three items have exquisite brass decorations and reliefs, with a strong steampunk style, but this is just an appearance used to hide the technological content contained in these items.
The long hunting knife is made of the advanced metallurgical technology of Mars. The shaft is also equipped with a small motor, which can automatically open and pop up in the blink of an eye. The handle of the large-caliber pistol has a shock absorption system, which can be used to continuously fire special 50-point explosive ammunition.
; As for the silent folding crossbow, on the one hand it can be used for mid-range assassinations, on the other hand it can also perform three-dimensional maneuvers by ejecting high-strength carbon fiber composite cables connected to the motor, helping the user to cross obstacles and even perform rapid descents from high altitudes.
There was also a set of clothes in the suitcase, but it was not covert action clothing, but a black evening dress.
"This is a gift, mother." Ruby replied with a smile. She knew how to use these things, and these were what she needed for the next task. Salomon once gave her a hunting knife and a pistol. When she became familiar with
After learning how to use those weapons, she was able to skillfully move the weapons and equipment specially made for her at extremely fast speeds. She hung the weapons and equipment on the special armed belt around her waist. "I think I should add some
project, I believe Malik must have told you." She said, "Whitehall is dead, and I have seen his brain. The owner of the Immortal City thinks that I should not be idle, only in this way can I carry out immortal work in the future.
The more difficult jobs in the city.”
General Hale stared into Ruby's eyes until Ruby's expression became a little unnatural before she nodded.
"Ruby, you have to understand that I am the only one in this world who will think about you." General Hale sighed, "Cooperating with the Malik family is just mutual use. I never thought that there is another person behind the Malik family.
A huge organization, but that doesn't mean we have to work hard for them. It's just cooperation, Ruby, and cooperation means using each other."
"I know." Ruby said, "It's just limited cooperation."
"No, you don't understand." General Hale looked at Ruby's eyes and pursed her lips. The wrinkles at the corners of her mouth were quite obvious. Her bun was tightly tied behind her head, and the corners of her eyes were pulled upward, showing a serious and old-fashioned look.
means. This is a by-product of her many years of military career, and it is also her consistent image. However, she quickly changed her expression and put on a more natural expression for communicating with her family.
General Hale has blond hair, while Ruby's hair color is almost white-blond. In General Hale's heart, Ruby is her most precious possession. Even if Ruby was not conceived voluntarily, this is
No one can take away her daughter. After all these years, General Hale has long wanted Whitehall to take away Ruby, let alone the Eternal City that he only recently learned about. "The Eternal City, or rather, the Immortal City."
The mysterious master of the city is very powerful. This is information I learned through secret channels. He did not show us his secrets." General Hale touched Ruby's long, silky hair. Ruby did not speak, but
Sitting silently by the bed, playing with the long hunting knife in his hand.
She learned from the intelligence department about what happened in Finnbowent Mountain. All the reconnaissance satellites aimed at Finnbowent that day were shot down by unknown forces. Even so, a Mobil Oil employee took a picture while on vacation.
Although the photo was extremely blurry, the general appearance of the subject could still be identified. However, the chilling thing was that the photo was later deleted from the archives, and the agent who unearthed the photo died in the intelligence
In the room, the cause of death was lack of oxygen. This made General Hale even more uneasy - she could not understand what the person in the photo was, so she immediately deleted the photo and threw away the computer, fearing that a horrific ending would befall her and Lu.
However, none of this happened, but General Hale was still uneasy.
"We must have reservations. If we are not careful, he will completely drain our value." General Hale asked very seriously, "Ruby, what does it mean for a person to have no value?"
"Death." Ruby replied without thinking.
This is a principle she learned when she was young, and even the word value was implanted in her mind earlier than the concept of death. However, earlier than the concepts of value and death, it is obedience. Obedience to superiors, obedience to mother
Obedience and obedience to power are a gradually increasing relationship. She and Stephanie are both Hydras, and they also understand the meaning of value and obedience at a young age. They also understand that power has the highest priority.
The reason why Stephanie has full confidence in Ruby is that this confidence comes from the survival rules of Hydra. Power is everything, just like Salomon broke into the Malik Manor and took over the Malik family with arms, this is nothing
An unspeakable shame, but an honor. Because the Malik family is valuable, Salomon will conquer it at all costs. This is a compliment to the Malik family and even all traditional Hydras. Gideon
Malik has even begun to write a memoir, intending to tell the stories of Salomon and the Malik family to the descendants of the Malik family - of course, in Gideon Malick's writing, Stephanie and Salomon are related.
For a child, this memoir is intended to be written for this child.
Ruby also submits to power, and power only comes from one person.
The person who fills his presence wherever he goes, the person who is majestic and beautiful.
"That's it," General Hale said, "Everything I did was to keep us alive, Ruby."
"I understand, Mom. I will be careful about those people, don't worry."
"Very good." General Hale looked around and looked at Ruby's room. There weren't many items here that could show that this was a teenage girl's room. This made her feel a little guilty towards Ruby, because at first she thought
She used Ruby as a tool to train her. Even if her mind changed, she was unable to take care of Ruby's life because of her work. Instead, she focused her remaining energy on Ruby's education. "Maybe you want a
Record player or game console?" General Hale said, "There is at least one advantage in cooperating with the Immortal City, that is, the investigation against me is over, and we can relax for a while."
"What's the backup plan?"
"My lord, I have arranged for assassins to lurk in General Hale and Ruby before they return to the youth training camp." Stephanie said, "Now the monitoring equipment of the youth training camp is in charge of our information security personnel. My lord, are you really
Do you need to worry about General Hale? Even if Ruby switches sides, she will not know the true location of the Eternal City, let alone your identity."
"Let's put it this way, Stephanie, General Hale is connected to our plan for the moon war. No, she is not an Inhuman spy. She has no direct connection to the Inhumans. She is connected to another race, one of us.
There is a connection with the aliens that we will 100% face when facing the Inhumans, namely the Kree."
Stephanie raised her eyebrows in surprise
"But she is not a Kree spy, not at all." Salomon said, "I admire her very much. This is the truth. She may not be as smart as us, but she has always remained loyal to humans."
