Chapter 303 Response (please order the full version!)
Thor frowned and glanced at the divine power crystal in Russell's hand with a complicated expression.
Although he didn't know what Russell and Odin had just talked about, his intuition told him that Odin had specially arranged for Russell to give him the power crystal.
As for the reason, he couldn't guess now.
"Okay! I will take good care of it!"
After speaking, Thor took the divine power crystal from Russell's hand.
"Then I'll leave first. If you have time, you might as well come and visit the Earth."
Russell said to Sol.
"Wait a minute, the reward promised to you has not been given to you yet."
After receiving the power crystal, Thor suddenly rang out the reward he had promised Russell before.
"Are you ready?"
Russell looked at Sol with some surprise.
Although he has not forgotten this matter, after awakening to the power of the sun, he no longer particularly needs those books of power.
Of course, he wouldn't mind if Sol was willing to give it to him.
As the saying goes, knowledge is power.
"certainly!"
"When you first tried to awaken the power of the sun, I had someone prepare it and I will hand it over to you when you come out."
Thor said quickly.
"Uh-huh!"
Later, Russell followed Thor to the public library of the Golden Palace and obtained the magical books specially prepared by Thor.
After collecting the thousands of magical books in front of him into the system space, Russell stretched out his right hand towards Thor.
After seeing his actions, Saul decisively stretched out his right hand and shook his hand.
"Then I'll go back first. If you have time, you might as well come to Earth for a walk."
After speaking, Russell took out the hanging ring from the system space and put it on the index finger and middle finger of his right hand.
"good!"
Thor answered quickly.
Then, watching Russell open the portal back to Earth.
Russell does not intend to return to Earth through the Rainbow Bridge, but intends to directly open the portal to return to Earth.
There is no other reason than opening the portal and returning to Earth is much more low-key.
The teleportation effect of the Rainbow Bridge was too ostentatious, which was not conducive to some of his subsequent arrangements.
Soon, the circular portal shining with golden sparks took shape.
"Thanks for the hospitality, let's go!"
After saying that, Russell walked into the portal without looking back and returned to the Zhenglian headquarters after an absence of half a year.
As soon as he returned to the study at Zhenglian Headquarters, he closed the portal.
After watching Russell return to Earth, Thor took out the power crystal that Russell gave him and looked at it carefully, frowning slightly.
Then, he walked towards Odin's study.
…………
New York, Zhenglian Headquarters, study room.
As soon as he returned to the study, No. 3's voice rang in the study.
"Sir, welcome home!"
Russell nodded and said silently: "Compile the information about what happened in the past six months and give it to me. Also, where is Diana now?"
"Miss Prince is currently in the chairman's office at the headquarters of the Octopus Monster Group. Do you need to contact Miss Prince immediately?"
"No, I'll go there in person later."
"Okay, sir!"
After giving orders to No. 3, Russell first used his magic perception method to sense the situation at the Zhenglian headquarters.
Hulk was still there, as were Wanda, the two siblings, and Skye. He didn't sense Kara and Gwen's breath for the time being.
After confirming that the breath and life signals of Hulk, Wanda and others were normal, he opened the portal again and returned to his bedroom.
After washing up in the bedroom and changing back to Earth's clothes, he did not go to see Hulk, Wanda and others, but directly opened the portal to the chairman's office of the octopus headquarters.
As soon as the portal was formed, he saw Diana wearing a white women's suit.
Diana's appearance has not changed at all, she is still so bright and charming.
After seeing the portal appear, Diana, who was sitting in the boss's chair handling the chairman's affairs, showed a charming smile like sunshine.
"Are you finally willing to come back?"
Diana stood up, stepped on stilettos, and swayed her seductive waist and came to Russell.
"I'll be back when I'm done."
As Russell said this, he put his arms around Diana's slender and sinfully attractive waist.
"It seems that you gained a lot from this trip to Asgard."
As soon as Russell hugged his waist, Diana noticed the change in him.
Although Russell looks the same now as before, Diana is keenly aware of his inner changes.
Diana sensed the power of the sun and lightning in his body.
"It's not bad."
Russell had no intention of letting go of his right hand. He pulled Diana to the reception area and sat down with Diana.
"I heard Saul say that Zhenglian is now officially defined as a terrorist organization. What is going on?"
On the 3rd, he had sorted out all the big and small things that had happened in the past six months, but compared to reading the information, Russell liked to ask Diana personally how he felt.
"It's nothing, it's just that a high-level combat force from SHIELD came back, and I had a fight with her. There was no winner."
"From that day on, officials and SHIELD began to settle old scores."
"Finally, because you are the current true master of Hydra, Zhenglian is defined as a terrorist organization just like Hydra."
Diana said quickly.
S.H.I.E.L.D.’s advanced combat capabilities?
Although Diana didn't say who this advanced combat force of SHIELD was, Russell immediately guessed it.
Captain Marvel Carol!
Except for Captain Marvel, no one else can be Diana's opponent.
"It's the woman named Captain Marvel, right? How could you fight her to a dead end?"
Russell asked a little strangely.
Although Captain Marvel is a very powerful superhero, in his opinion, Captain Marvel is still no match for Diana.
Not to mention anything else, just with combat experience and combat skills, Diana can throw Captain Marvel away by several blocks.
Not to mention, Diana, like him, possesses divine power.
"You haven't forgotten something. All my handy weapons are in your hands."
Diana rolled her eyes at Russell.
Forehead……
After hearing what Diana said, Russell finally reacted.
Diana's favorite weapons, the Vulcan Sword and the Lasso of Truth, were taken away by him.
It is not inconceivable that Captain Marvel and Diana fought evenly without a weapon.
"In addition to defining Zhenglian as a terrorist organization, what else have the authorities and SHIELD done?"
Russell changed the question and continued to ask.
"What else can happen, is to seize some octopus monster's assets and industries using excuses that are not in compliance with laws and regulations."
"The biggest impact is that Octopus Industry's status as a military supplier has been cancelled."
"The others are that the unmanned factory controlled by No. 3 does not meet the production requirements, as well as the accounting and tax issues at the Octopus Monster headquarters."
Although it is officially defined as a terrorist organization, it is obvious that the official and SHIELD have no plans to completely break up their relationship yet.
Otherwise, the Octopus Mansion and Zhenglian Headquarters would probably have fallen into the hands of the authorities and S.H.I.E.L.D.
"What about General Ross? He didn't say anything at all?"
General Ross used to be the middleman between Octopus Industry and the military, but later became one of Octopus Industry's major customers.
Whether it is from a personal relationship or a cooperative relationship, General Ross should show some expression.
"Ross is no longer in the military. He was transferred and is now the assistant secretary of state."
"As for expressing his position, at the beginning, he spoke for Zhenglian in public, believing that Zhenglian only had some contact with Hydra and was not a terrorist organization in the true sense."
"But it's obvious that as he just entered the political arena, his power is still very limited and he can't do much."
Diana said softly.
"It seems that he is a pretty good person. At least he has not burned bridges and left some favor for Zhenglian."
Russell said with a smile.
Although Diana just briefly talked about the things facing Octopus Monster Industries and Zhenglian, he already knew what to do next.
To put it simply, the officials and SHIELD came up with the idea of beating Octopus Industries and Zhenglian while he was away from the earth, and they also put the idea into practice.
However, they did not completely break up.
As for the reason, if nothing else goes wrong, it should be that Captain Marvel was unable to defeat Diana and did not have enough strength to defeat Zheng Lian in one fell swoop.
As a result, we now have this special situation in which Zheng Lian is nominally defined as a terrorist organization, but Zheng Lian is not completely targeted.
Although there is no way to completely eliminate Zheng Lian like real terrorists, the official and S.H.I.E.L.D. have imposed some sanctions on Zheng Lian from other aspects.
For example, most of the industries of Octopus Monster Industry, Zhenglian's largest source of funding, were restricted.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time!"
"Since I'm back now, leave these things to me!"
Russell touched Diana's waist and said with a smile.
"Have you already figured out what to do?"
Diana asked doubtfully.
Although the authorities and SHIELD have done a lot recently against Octopus Industries and Zhenglian, their current actions have gained the upper hand in public opinion.
From another perspective, their actions are legal.
If not, Diana would not let them target Octopus Industries and Zhenglian.
"We already have some ideas. We still need to think about how to do it specifically, but it's not a big problem."
The reason why Diana is helpless by the authorities and SHIELD is because Diana has always fought against them within the rules set by the other party.
To put it simply, Diana was too disciplined.
Unlike Diana, Russell never considered himself a good person.
He has done a lot of things like stepping on the line or saying the line before.
If the American officials and SHIELD want to play with him using the rules they set, he will directly choose to turn the table over.
Rules are made by people with big fists!
And Russell is now the one with the big fist!
Although Diana didn't know what Russell was going to do, after seeing Russell's current expression, she immediately had some bad associations.
"It's best not to go too far. Ordinary people are innocent."
Diana reminded Russell.
"Don't worry, I won't let myself become the public enemy of mankind on earth."
"However, if anyone thinks that I am easy to bully, then they would be looking down on me."
Revenge is definitely necessary!
If he doesn't retaliate even after being suppressed to this extent by American officials and SHIELD, then Russell is no longer Russell.
He spent so much time and energy to turn Zhenglian into a well-known superhero team.
American officials and SHIELD want to define Zhenglian as a terrorist organization like Hydra, but there is no way!
"Yeah, I believe you!"
Diana said softly, while resting her head on Russell's shoulder.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon."
Russell stroked Diana's hair and said slowly.
After talking about these things, Russell and Diana briefly talked about their experiences in Asgard in the past six months.
Especially the awakened power of the sun.
After staying in the office for more than an hour, Russell once again used the portal magic and returned to the Zhenglian headquarters.
As soon as he returned to the living room of Zhenglian headquarters, he asked No. 3 to notify Hulk, Wanda and others to come to the living room.
When Hulk, Wanda and others came to the living room, he first briefly asked them about their recent status, and then told them some of his next arrangements.
When he finished speaking, Hulk nodded silently to express his understanding.
Although Wanda and Pietro felt that his plan was a little excessive, they had no intention of rejecting it.
None of them are Americans. They not only dislike America, but even hate it.
If the United States had not always used the name of maintaining peace to cause trouble around the world, Sokovia would not have become what it is now, and their parents would not have been killed by Stark Industries missiles.
Now that they have the opportunity to defeat the United States, which prides itself on justice, they will certainly not object, and are even somewhat eager to try.
As for Skye, she has been an orphan since she was a child. She has seen all kinds of life at the bottom of society, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with Russell's plan.
She even felt that the U.S. officialdom and SHIELD were bullying others, just like those rich people playing tricks with the law to bully ordinary people.
After chatting with Hulk Wanda and others, Russell asked No. 3 to contact Kara and asked Kara to come to Zhenglian headquarters immediately.
Although Gwen and Peter were also part of the Zhenglian, he did not intend for them to participate in this operation.
The reason is simple: they are not suitable to do these things that wander in the gray area.
While waiting for Kara to come over, he used the spiritual connection ability of the King's Serum to contact Grendel, who was still living with Godzilla in the Atlantic Ocean Temple.
He did not ask Grendel to come to Zhenglian headquarters, but asked Grendel to leave for Washington, D.C. immediately.
As for Godzilla, Godzilla can't fly. Asking him to go for a walk in Washington is basically the same as asking him to destroy Washington, D.C., so he didn't assign tasks to Godzilla and let Godzilla continue.
His own secluded life.
Not long after giving orders to Grendel, Kara, wearing casual clothes, flew to the Zhenglian headquarters without a care in the world.
Due to the suppression by the authorities and SHIELD, Kara's personal movie that was being filmed was forced to stop production.
This also caused Kara to be in an unusually bad mood now.
In this personal film, Carla put a lot of effort into it, and it can even be said that she had high hopes.
The American officials and SHIELD first used various inexplicable reasons to prevent them from filming, and then used strange and bizarre reasons to take away the director and other actors.
In the end, even directly promoting Carla's personal movie was in danger of leaking state secrets, which forced the filming of the movie, which had been filming for nearly a year, to stop.
If Diana hadn't stopped her, Kara would have gone to Washington, D.C. to cause trouble for SHIELD and the White House.
As a Kryptonian whose mental age is only in his early twenties, Karako is not mature and stable at all.
After arriving at the Zhenglian living room, Kara, who was wearing a short skirt and a T-shirt, threw herself into Russell's arms without saying a word.
Then, she sat down on his lap.
"You didn't take me with you when you went to other planets, and you left me for so long without saying a word!"
Kara complained about Russell with a proud look on her face.
"I'm here to do things, not travel."
Russell smiled and replied.
"I don't care! You have been gone for so long, you must make it up to me!"
Kara continued.
"How do you want me to make it up to you?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it!"
Kara said quickly.
"Then you can talk to me after you think about it. Let's talk about business now."
Russell patted Kara on the shoulder and motioned for her to get off his lap.
Kara first rolled her eyes at him charmingly, then stood up and sat next to him, and asked casually: "What's the business?"
“Is destroying the U.S. military’s bases in the Hawaiian Islands considered serious business?”
this……
After hearing Russell's words, Kara was stunned for a moment.
Then, an excited expression appeared on her delicate and fair face.
