Agent Ward found Murakami at a high-class banquet.
After Alexandra of the Hand died, the Midtown Circle Financial Company under her name naturally lost its leader. The remaining leaders of the Hand were only Murakami and Sowanda, and the black brother Sowanda was always there.
It was not convenient to take charge of the affairs in New York while living in Africa, so the two used the Hand's internal resources to do some behind-the-scenes operations, and Midtown Circle Finance was transferred from the failed Alexandra to Murakami's name.
The previous setbacks had severely damaged the Hand's vitality, but the foundation of the organization was still there. At least in New York, as long as they didn't go too far, even if they encountered the Kingpin, they would have to give in. Murakami regained his strength.
, after the Battle of New York, he even led a large group of disguised killer ninjas to actively participate in urban reconstruction work and enter the real estate business. He himself even received a medal from the New York City Government. The mayor of New York eagerly embraced
Holding Comrade Murakami’s hand, he said that Mr. Murakami is really our model and good citizen. It’s great to have you in New York.
That's why Comrade Murakami was invited to this dinner with the theme of gratitude. While the mayor came on stage to make an impassioned speech, Comrade Ward, who was a Hydra agent, quickly came over.
Murakami was a little surprised when he heard Ward's purpose. He thought to himself, "Isn't that gentleman from your Hydra? What do you want him to do to come to me?"
But after thinking about it, he was relieved. The current Hydra is not like it was during World War II. Its organization seems huge and the actual management system is a mess. Many people have single-line contact with their superiors, just in case a superior decides to jump out of control one day.
Instead of removing SHIELD, I'm afraid there will be a large number of Hydra agents down there who can't find an organization.
So Murakami took a leisurely sip of his cocktail and pretended that he had no idea what you were talking about.
If you want to find Shafrin, what does it have to do with me, Murakami?
Ward did not press the question directly, but instead said: "Not long ago in Sokovia, the base under the jurisdiction of Baron Wolfgang von Strucker was attacked by unknown persons. All the equipment in the base was completely destroyed before the attack.
Paralysis, all communications with the outside world were cut off, so we still don’t know what happened. In addition, none of the Hydra members stationed there survived, and all combat units were wiped out."
Murakami remained calm on the surface, but he was secretly surprised in his heart. After he leaked the information to Richard, there was no news from the base. Hydra was very tight-lipped on this matter, and no news was leaked. Although Murakami
I guessed that the adult might have succeeded, but I didn't expect that he would do it so thoroughly.
The entire base was wiped out and not a single person was left alive. Even the communications were cut off in advance. It sounds like Hydra is still confused and has no idea who attacked them.
To this Murakami can only say, that adult is awesome! Poyin
But when Ward said this, Murakami probably understood what he meant: "You want to say, this has something to do with our Hand?"
"There is information indicating so."
"You should know that the Hand has no interest in your internal disputes." Murakami said, "We are willing to trade and cooperate with the leaders of any of your factions, but that is limited to this. We prefer to remain neutral."
"You can also tell Baron Strucker that, he doesn't think so."
Ward had done enough homework before coming and even had his words ready.
"In the eyes of many people, you have chosen to take sides. This is the intention of the Hand, isn't it? To make a stand?" Ward continued, "I believe that if you don't see enough potential and a bright future, you will not risk your own
future adventures. We all know you are always cautious."
This is a nicer way of saying it. To put it bluntly, the five old immortals of the Hand are already famous for their cowardice. Almost everyone who has heard of their names knows that these old guys are extremely afraid of death. So if anyone can
If they are willing to take sides, then the opponent must be quite powerful, right?
After hearing his speculation, Murakami just sneered in his heart.
Has potential? Haha, from such an understatement, it seems that you really don’t understand how terrifying that adult is.
"Please don't worry, I just want to communicate with the other party." Ward continued to explain, "What we hope is win-win cooperation, which is beneficial to everyone. But we don't have his contact information, so we need to ask him
Mr. Murakami"
Murakami waved his hand without hearing what he said.
"I'm sorry, but I can't make the decision." Murakami said calmly and forcefully, "You're not qualified enough to meet him."
If it were in the past, when talking to a huge organization like Hydra, even if it was a small pawn in the organization, the Hand would always keep a low profile and be as respectful as possible. But now when the topic of "that adult" comes up, Murakami is inexplicably confused.
I feel like my back is a little stiffer, and I feel more confident when I speak. Although the other party doesn't seem to have clearly expressed any interest in their hand, but after being a bitch for a long time, my mentality is different.
At this time, another voice sounded: "Can I ask Mr. Murakami, am I qualified?"
Murakami turned around following the sound and saw John Garrett walking over with a smile and a wine glass in his hand.
Murakami stared at his face for a moment, thinking that he had never seen this guy before. But the other person sounded quite confident, so he still asked politely: "Who are you?"
Garrett smiled and answered with only one word: "clairvoyance."
Murakami was surprised and couldn't help but look at Garrett more seriously: "Are you the clairvoyant?"
Clairvoyance is a rather mysterious code name for many people outside Hydra. No one knows what he looks like, but many people have heard of this name. It is said that his power is extremely widespread, and he is also responsible for some matters involving the human body.
Enhanced top secret project.
SHIELD has also heard of such a number one figure, but it doesn't know what connection this person has with Hydra, which has long been theoretically destroyed. SHIELD has had many encounters with this clairvoyant force on many matters, but every time
Every time, the other party always sees through the plan first, and every mission fails.
Because of this, many people in the outside world have spread rumors that clairvoyants are extremely rare superpowers with precognitive abilities. There are even rumors circulating within Hydra and among some organizations like the Hand that "clairvoyants are also the leaders of Hydra".
Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, it is at least enough to illustrate the high status of the clairvoyant and the power of his subordinates.
Garrett also admitted readily: "Yes, I am. How about, am I qualified to talk to that adult?"
