Chapter 269: Bullying goes too far (please order the full version!)
A manor on the outskirts of Hannover, the capital of the German state of Lower Saxony.
From the outside, this manor is no different from other manors with a certain history.
However, in fact, this is a secret base for Gideon Malick.
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 walked out of the portal, the guard at the gate of the manor had already drawn the pistol on his waist and aimed it at them.
Although he was pointed with a pistol, Russell didn't take these guards to heart at all and looked at them calmly.
Unlike Russell who was calm, Skye involuntarily put her right hand on the pistol at her waist, looking like she would draw the gun and shoot at any time.
"This is private property and no visitors are accepted!"
Standing in the middle, the guard who seemed to be the squad leader said seriously to Russell.
If he hadn't recognized that the person coming out of the portal was Russell, the guard would never have said anything to him, but would have fired his gun directly.
"Tell Gideon Malik that I'll wait for him here for three minutes. If he doesn't come out, don't blame me for punching him in."
Russell ignored the guard's warning and said unhurriedly.
"There is no one here who you are talking about. I am warning you one last time. Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude to you!"
Are you rude to me?
After hearing these words from the guard captain, Russell smiled and shook his head.
"Okay, I would like to see how you are going to be rude to me!"
After speaking, Russell walked towards the guard, as if he didn't even see the pistol in his hand pointing at his head.
Three meters, two meters, one meter...
Russell thought the guard would choose to shoot.
However, it turns out that he thought too much.
Until he came to the guard who was suspected to be the squad leader, the guard did not pull the trigger.
After sizing up the guard with a calm expression, he stretched out his right hand and took off the intercom from the guard.
"Gideon Malik, my patience is limited. You still have two minutes and forty-five seconds."
After speaking, Russell threw the intercom back to the guard in front of him.
Then, he turned back to Skye.
As soon as he came back, Skye whispered to him: "Aren't you afraid of them shooting?"
"There is nothing to be afraid of. The pistols in their hands pose no threat to me."
Russell said calmly.
"Just because you're not afraid of bullets doesn't mean I'm not afraid. What if they shoot at me?"
Skye was a little angry.
"First of all, if you stand there like a log and get hit by them, it can only mean that you have failed in your studies during this period."
"Secondly, if you are really hit by a bullet, I have a way to heal you without leaving any scars."
"Finally, before you wonder if they're going to shoot you, you should look at who they're aiming their guns at."
Perkins can teach Skye about melee combat in the ring, or he can teach Skye about shooting at the shooting range.
But practical experience is something you can only have after experiencing it personally.
Russell brought Skye here specially, not to ask Skye to come and make a vase, but to use this action to teach Skye some knowledge that could not be learned in the ring or shooting range.
When he finished speaking, Skye frowned, showing an unhappy expression.
Although what Russell said is correct, it still makes people unhappy when he says this.
Especially for a woman in her early twenties like Skye.
After glaring at Russell hatefully, Skye continued: "If Gideon Malik doesn't come out, do you really want to fight in?"
"Of course, I never joke about such things!"
As soon as he came out of the portal, Russell used his clairvoyance and far-sighted vision to observe the environment inside the manor.
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 impact on him.
Without high-level combat power to restrain them, the Hydra warriors in the manor would be just a number.
"Aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation and that of Zhenglian by doing this?"
Skye asked confused.
She didn't know Gideon Malik, and she didn't know that everyone in the manor was from Hydra.
"Why should you be afraid? They are all Hydras. Killing them can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."
Having said this, Russell turned his head and looked at the guards in front of the gate.
He could not lower his voice just now so that these guards could clearly hear what he was saying.
Hydra?
Skye opened her eyes wide and looked at Russell in disbelief.
She would never have imagined that the first mission Russell would take her on would be to deal with Hydra.
I'm just a hacker!
I can't handle a terrorist organization like Hydra!
"It's just 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 people with extraordinary abilities, apart from having a little more people and a little more money, there is nothing noteworthy about Hydra.
Not to mention Russell and Zheng Lian, even Daredevil and the Punisher who were killed by him were capable of dealing with Hydra.
Of course, they cannot deal with Hydra as easily as Russell, and there is also the danger of death.
"you……"
Skye originally wanted to tell Russell that he was a lunatic.
However, just when she was about to say it, she remembered some of Russell's past achievements.
Forehead……
Compared with some of the enemies Russell had dealt with before, Hydra seemed to be nothing.
At least it can't compare to the Godzilla and aliens Russell has dealt with.
Time passes little by little.
Just when Russell thought Gideon Malik would choose to sneak away or fight desperately, Gideon Malik came to the manor with his beautiful daughter Stephanie Malik, who had long, silky golden hair.
In front of the gate.
Coming with them were several Hydra warriors in black suits.
And Gideon Malick's most powerful subordinate, the alien Jiera who can control all inanimate objects.
"Mr. Bradley, please don't be offended if you miss your welcome!"
After arriving in front of Russell, Gideon Malik said with a smile on his face.
"Let's go in and chat!"
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 he would talk later in the manor.
"good!"
Gideon is truly 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 sat on the same couch, and Gideon and Stephanie sat on the opposite couch.
Except for the alien's subordinate Jiera, Gideon did not let any of his guards stay.
After pouring tea for the four of them, the maid in maid uniform left the reception room and gently closed the door of the reception room.
When he was the only one left in the reception room, Gideon said slowly: "I wonder what happened to you, Mr. Bradley, when you came here this time?"
Russell first picked up the hot black tea on the table and took a sip, 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 don't quite understand what it meant."
Gideon started to act stupid.
"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 bully others too much!"
Gideon put away the smile on his face and said in a cold tone.
"Too much bullying? Gideon, don't you think it's a little funny what you said?"
"Are you even qualified to say that I went too far in bullying others?"
Russell didn't intend to waste any more time talking to Gideon.
If Gideon was willing to cooperate, he wouldn't mind sparing Gideon's life, since he only had a few years to live anyway.
But if Gideon doesn't cooperate at all, he won't care whether Gideon is the legitimate leader of Hydra, let alone what trouble Gideon will cause after his death.
The atmosphere in the reception room began to become tense.
The alien Jiera standing behind Gideon was ready to take action at any time.
At this moment, Stephanie, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Bradley, that's not what my father meant."
"You want to talk to us about the hive, but what specific aspect do you want to talk about?"
Stephanie's words immediately relieved the tense atmosphere in the reception room.
"It's very simple. I want the black boulder in your hands that goes to the Death Star."
Black boulder?
After hearing his words, Gideon and Stephanie both frowned involuntarily.
They thought that Russell had just inquired about the beehive, but unexpectedly, Russell even knew that they had a black boulder in their hands.
If Russell wanted something else, he would give it to him.
But the black monolith is their only hope to get back to the hive from the Death Star.
If the black boulder is handed over to Russell, it means that they have completely given up hope of returning to the hive, and have given up on the tradition they have adhered to for thousands of years.
"Mr. Bradley, since you know about the black boulder and the honeycomb, you should know how important this is to us."
Stephanie frowned and said.
She now felt the helpless feeling Gideon had just felt.
"I know exactly what you are doing, and I also know what you have done to welcome back the hive."
"However, I can tell you clearly that you have no idea what the hive is."
"You want to use the power of the hive to rule the earth. I can only say that you are thinking too much."
Russell wouldn't bother to tell them this if he didn't want to waste time looking for where the black boulder was hidden by Gideon.
"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, you should know that the hive can completely accept all the memories of the original owner of the body."
"Gideon, do you remember the agreement you and Nathan made?"
When Russell said Nathan's name, Gideon showed an incredible expression.
When she first heard Nathan's name, Stephanie didn't immediately think that this was the uncle she had never met before.
But after seeing Gideon's expression, she reacted immediately.
At the same time, she thought of the supreme sacrifice tradition in her 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 I know is not important."
"The important thing is 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 a god, but unfortunately, in the eyes of your god, your status is not much different from that of pigs and cows."
Russell was not surprised that Gideon and others would 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 could bring the hive back to Earth, it would indeed be possible for the hive to help them conquer the Earth.
But they ignored a very important issue, that is, their idea only exists in an ideal state.
To put it simply, their beautiful fantasies are all based on the premise that Hive is a good person who repays his kindness.
And it turns out that Hive is not a good person.
More importantly, even the Kree, who originally created the Inhumans, were unable to completely control the hive and had no choice but to exile the hive to the Death Star.
Gideon and the others only saw the power of the hive and did not think about the danger of the hive at all.
The hive was never a god.
If anything, the hive is a devil, a devil that is not controlled by anyone.
After being reminded by Russell, Gideon thought about many issues that he had never thought about before.
After pondering for more than ten seconds, he spoke again: "If I hand over the black boulder to you, what will you do with the hive?"
"It's very simple, kill him completely!"
Russell said calmly.
After hearing his answer, it was Stephanie's turn to show an incredulous expression.
She didn't expect that her father Gideon would completely change his mind in just ten seconds.
That was a beehive, the god of Hydra, a beehive that their family wanted to bring back even at the expense of their own people.
"How are you going to kill him?"
Gideon asked again.
"This has nothing to do with you, just give me the black boulder!"
"In addition, in return, I allow you to take some of your members to change their identities and join me, thereby evading SHIELD's capture and destruction."
Sticks and carrots have always been best partners.
After the threat, Russell didn't mind giving Gideon some carrots.
