Chapter 258 Are you threatening me? (Please subscribe in full!)
After hearing Russell's words, Nick Fury on the other end of the phone fell silent.
Just like what Russell said, when cleaning up traces near the Statue of Liberty, SHIELD did find those pieces of the Cosmic Cube shell that looked like glass shards.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet assembled these fragments into their original cube appearance, it can be roughly confirmed that these glass-like fragments are fragments of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
"Mr. Bradley, we did find some pieces of the Rubik's Cube."
"But the agreement between us is that you help us capture and retrieve the Cosmic Cube alive, and we will open SHIELD's database to you, allowing you to find any information you need."
"Now, the alien who stole the Cosmic Cube died in the hands of you and Miss Prince, and the Cosmic Cube was also 'exploded'. Don't you think you have to give me an explanation?"
Nick Fury tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said slowly.
"I know exactly what the agreement is!"
"Yes, according to the agreement, I do need to hand over the three aliens and the Cosmic Cube to you."
"But if I remember correctly, until now, I have not taken any information from SHIELD's database."
"To put it simply, I did not complete the content of the agreement, but I also did not take away the reward you gave in advance."
"The deal was not concluded this time, why should I explain it to you!"
Russell completely ignored Nick Fury's displeasure and said calmly.
Now that the space gem is in his hands, he will never hand it over again.
Not to mention that the person who came to ask for the Space Stone was Nick Fury, even if Captain Marvel Carol and Thor came to ask for it together, he would never give it to him.
"Mr. Bradley, I don't need to tell you how important the Cosmic Cube is to S.H.I.E.L.D. You also know very well. I don't want the relationship that we have finally eased to become full of tension because of this."
Nick Fury was silent for more than ten seconds and continued.
"Are you threatening me?"
Russell raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold tone.
"No, this is not a threat, just a suggestion."
Nick Fury's tone also became extremely serious.
"Suggestion? Haha, only you, SHIELD, would regard such words as suggestions!"
"I don't care how important the Cosmic Cube is to you."
"If SHIELD threatens me, I don't care."
"I have a suggestion for you now. If SHIELD really wants to go to war with Zhenglian, you'd better make sure SHIELD can bear the consequences of going to war with Zhenglian."
After speaking, Russell hung up the phone without waiting for Nick Fury to speak.
After hanging up the phone, Russell, who was sitting on the boss's chair, ordered No. 3: "Inform Bakshi and ask him to tell Pierce's Hydra. If they are still unwilling to recognize Bakshi's leadership position, then directly
Let the war begin!”
"Okay, sir!"
The mechanically synthesized voice of No. 3 immediately sounded.
After giving orders to No. 3, Russell came to the reception area, lay down on the sofa, and accepted the nourishment of the sun.
The Battle of New York is over, and it's almost time to complete the process of becoming the new master of Hydra.
He didn't want to see that hive on Earth that was essentially a collection of parasites.
Parasites and stuff are the most disgusting!
While Russell was basking in the sun and feeling the strengthening of himself by the sun, he was complaining about the identity of the first alien hive in history.
Not long after, his fair-faced and attractive blond female secretary, Ellie, stepped on stilettos, swaying her waist like a water snake, and walked into the office in a charming manner.
"Sir, these are the documents that you need to see."
After hearing Ally's soft and seductive voice, Russell, who was lying on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes.
Double tail!
As soon as he opened his eyes, Russell discovered that Ellie, who originally had big waves, had specially changed her hairstyle to twin ponytails today.
Not only that, Ai Li, who usually dresses as a professional office worker, looks particularly youthful today, like a female college student who is still in school.
It’s a pity that it’s not JK style!
Russell's eyes looked around Ally, thinking with some regret.
Although Ally didn't know what Russell was thinking now, as a competent female secretary who had played Ludo with Russell, she could roughly see some of the unhealthy thoughts in Russell's mind.
At the same time, I also saw the fleeting expression of regret on Russell's face.
Besides the twin ponytails, is there anything else?
Ellie couldn't help but think in her heart.
Although she was curious about the answer to this question, she knew that now was not a good time to ask for the answer.
When Russell sat up and looked at the documents, Ally spoke again: "Sir, many media have sent in interview applications. Do you want to accept their interviews?"
"All pushed."
Russell refused without thinking.
Although being interviewed can further expand his popularity and reputation, Russell does not want to waste his time on these boring interviews.
With all this time, he might as well spend more time with Diana, Carla and others.
Although the reporters sent by the media to interview him are all good-looking, compared with Diana, Carla and others, those female reporters can only be regarded as barely qualified.
"Okay, sir!"
Ellie quickly replied.
After reviewing the documents in his hand and signing his name on the documents that had no problems, Russell handed the documents back to Ellie.
Although she was ready to give Russell a massage or play flying chess, Russell did not speak, and Ellie did not dare to bring it up.
Just when Ellie took the file and was about to leave the office, Russell suddenly said: "Let's try the JK style of Neon Country tomorrow. You don't need to change your twin ponytails!"
Although JK style is not suitable for women in the workplace, Ai Li did not hesitate and immediately nodded and agreed.
When Ellie left the office, Russell lay down again, intending to continue receiving the nourishment of the sun.
Just when he was considering whether to go out for a romantic candlelight dinner with Diana tonight, or go home and enjoy a warm home dinner with Diana, the voice of No. 3 suddenly rang.
"Sir, there are hackers invading the databases of the group headquarters and Zhenglian headquarters. Do you want to arrange for Bai Jue soldiers to deal with it?"
Hacking?
After hearing what No. 3 said, Russell immediately thought of the hacker invasion that Coulson had arranged.
Is it S.H.I.E.L.D. again?
"First counter-track the target's location and see who did it?"
Russell frowned and said.
"Okay, sir!"
No. 3 was very efficient, and within a few minutes, No. 3’s voice sounded again.
"Sir, the hacker's location is locked. It's in New York."
"Judging from the technical means and the proxy server used, it was not done by SHIELD but by a hacker organization."
Hacker group?
After hearing No. 3's report, Russell's brows furrowed even more.
Yesterday just happened the big event of aliens invading New York. Instead of invading official government agencies to find confidential information, these hackers came to invade the databases of Octopus Monster Headquarters and Zhenglian Headquarters. This seems a bit wrong no matter how you look at it.
Although Zheng Lian was in the limelight yesterday, and Diana also appeared in front of the world as Wonder Woman, from the perspective of digging up confidential information, Octopus Monster Headquarters and Zheng Lian must be ranked behind the official organizations.
Apart from anything else, SHIELD's helicarrier alone is enough to attract the interest of most hackers.
People have seen a lot of aircraft carriers and the like.
But currently only S.H.I.E.L.D. has flying aircraft carriers.
"Let's see which hacker group did it. If it's a hacker group with no background, send a few White Zetsu soldiers to warn them and make them less curious."
"If they don't listen, tell them to shut up physically."
Russell said to No. 3.
"Okay, sir!"
After giving orders to No. 3, Russell closed his eyes again.
However, within a few minutes, the voice of No. 3 rang again.
"Sir, the identity of the other party is confirmed, it is the Rising Tide Organization!"
Rising Tide Organization?
Although Russell is not a member of the hacker circle, he is no stranger to the Rising Tide organization.
He had even commissioned a mission from Rising Tide before.
However, the skills of the Rising Tide Organization were not as good as others. Not only did they fail to investigate Hydra, but they were counter-invaded by Hydra.
In addition to having dealt with the Rising Tide Organization, Russell is no stranger to the Rising Tide Organization, because Daisy the Shockwave Girl was a former member of the Rising Tide Organization.
Of course, the current Shockwave Girl is not called Daisy, but Skye.
Not only has her name not been changed, but Skye has not yet experienced the awakening of Terrigen Mist's super powers. She is just a female hacker with good hacking skills but no actual combat effectiveness.
"Don't send the White Jue warriors there yet, just warn them on the Internet."
"In addition, investigate the female hacker named Skye in the Rising Tide organization."
After thinking for a few seconds, Russell decided to temporarily let the tide go.
"Okay, sir!"
The "sunbathing" process was interrupted one after another, and Russell had no intention of continuing. He got up and went to the viewing balcony outside the office.
After looking at the surrounding buildings and high-rise buildings destroyed by Chitauri warriors and Vanguard Guards, he activated his flying ability and flew towards the Zhenglian headquarters.
Zhenglian Headquarters.
The room with the levitating cloak.
The Levitation Cloak did not participate in the Battle of New York yesterday. It stayed on the Helicarrier until all the Chitauri warriors and Vanguard were eliminated, and had no chance to take action.
However, for the levitation cloak, it doesn't matter at all whether there is a chance to participate in the battle.
As a magic cloak, it has no interest in so-called achievements or reputation.
After arriving in the room, Russell saw the levitating cloak who was addicted to the game and couldn't extricate himself.
After saying hello to the levitating cloak, he picked up the game controller and played multiplayer mode with the levitating cloak.
Time passes little by little.
When night fell, Russell left the Zhenglian headquarters and began to return to the apartment where he lived.
However, just as he was flying towards the apartment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Tony's call!
After seeing the name displayed on the screen, Russell did not answer the phone immediately.
It wasn't until he landed on the balcony of the apartment that he pressed the button.
"Why did you answer the phone so late? Are you busy playing games with your beautiful girlfriend?"
Tony's unserious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth. What do you want from me?"
Russell asked bluntly.
After hearing his words, Tony put away his unserious attitude and said in an extremely serious tone: "I received some news from SHIELD saying that the Cosmic Cube exploded. Is this true?"
Russell was not surprised that Tony could receive this news from SHIELD.
After thinking for a few seconds, he slowly said: "Yes, the Cosmic Cube is indeed broken!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tony immediately said: "Have you not considered using a softer method to close the portal? The Cosmic Cube is the key to finding unlimited energy."
"The situation is urgent and we can only use more violent methods."
"But don't worry, although the Cosmic Cube is destroyed, the contents inside are still there."
Russell had no intention of hiding the Space Stone from Tony.
He needs Tony's bright brain to research the Space Stone.
"What's inside?"
Tony asked doubtfully.
"The Cosmic Cube is just a shell. The real source of energy is the space gem inside."
"The space gem is in my hand now. When the opportunity is right, I will let you study the space gem carefully."
Russell said calmly.
"The space gem is interesting!"
"I knew you wouldn't destroy the Cosmic Cube so easily. You wouldn't destroy such a powerful treasure casually."
Tony said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you have anything else to do? If not, then hang up first."
"Then you should be busy first. I will contact you if necessary."
After saying that, Tony hung up the phone.
After ending the call with Tony, Russell walked into the living room of the apartment and hugged Diana who was lying on the sofa in the living room.
After seeing the home clothes Diana was wearing, he decisively gave up his plan to go out for a candlelight dinner and prepared a warm home dinner with Diana.
After dinner, he and Diana played an endless game of Ludo.
the next day.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The conference room of the Octopus Headquarters.
After having lunch with Diana in the apartment, Russell and Diana went to the Octopus Headquarters to prepare for the next press conference.
Although this kind of press conference with new members joining Zhenglian has been held several times, this press conference, both in terms of scale and the number of reporters present, far exceeded any previous ones.
Russell did not let Diana wear the Wonder Woman suit to attend the press conference, but asked Diana to attend the press conference wearing normal clothes.
"Gentlemen and ladies, let us give the warmest applause to welcome the new member of Zhenglian, Miss Wonder Woman Diana Prince!"
After speaking, Russell took the lead in applauding and directed the attention of reporters present to the door next to the conference room.
The door slowly opened, and even though she was wearing casual clothes, Diana still couldn't conceal her noble temperament. Under the illumination of the flashlight, she walked into the conference room with various gestures and came to Russell's side.
