Chapter 378: The Daughter of the Red Skull
It's a secret about the Red Skull, the most glorious leader in Hydra history, a secret that few people know today.
It's about Red Skull's daughter.
Almost no one, including most of Red Skull's cronies, knew that the war maniac, the man who was regarded as a god by Hydra, had a daughter.
Cynthia Schmidt, codenamed "Original Sin", was born on the "Exile Island", a secret base set up by the Red Skull to train the most elite warriors. She didn't know who her mother was, only that she was a small character who couldn't compare to her father at all. She knew that her mother died soon after giving birth to herself, but she didn't care at all.
For Cynthia Schmidt, the only thing that matters in this world is her father. She worshipped her father as a god like anyone else in Hydra at the timeβno, far more than anyone else, I should say. For her, her father is all she has, and making her father proud is the only meaning of her existence.
However, in Red Skull's heart, his daughter is not equally important, and he is even quite dissatisfied with the fact that he gave birth to a daughter. When Cynthia was born, he even had the idea of killing her when he found out that he had given birth to a girl. A man like Red Skull doesn't need children, he only needs warriors.
But in the end, he didn't do it. He gave Cynthia the opportunity to prove herself and gave her the same extraordinary strength as himself. Ever since Cynthia was a baby, he had placed the little girl in a special device on the island of exile. While the device gave her powerful power beyond the limits of humanity, it also helped her slow down aging in the long years after her father's death. Although she is still slightly deficient in intelligence compared to her father due to her talent, her skills are no less than that of the Red Skull back then.
Cynthia was well aware of everything her father was doing, and she was well aware of the fact that her father only saw herself as a pawn in battle. But she doesn't care, even as a pawn, as long as it can become a pawn recognized by her father, she has no complaints.
This is true even today, when the Red Skull is long gone.
"Ahem!"
Rogers coughed up a mouthful of blood. He felt even weaker, and even his bones felt like they were about to loosen. The effect of the poison was still spreading, and he couldn't even see the figure standing in front of him clearly.
"It's a mistake that you're still alive." Cynthia said coldly, "He didn't come back, but you...... It doesn't matter, I'll correct this mistake myself. β
The dazzling dagger spun around in her hand for half a circle, and finally was grabbed and hung high in the air. She glared at Captain America viciously with a fierce glint in her eyes.
"Die!!"
For no reason, a completely instinctive premonition of danger made Cynthia stiffen and lean back half a meter unnaturally. Almost in the blink of an eye, the bullet pierced the wall, whirling with a long string of debris that almost brushed against her cheek.
The face was cracked, and the simulated face of the digital mask shook slightly, a bit like a screen with a flower screen. Her pupils narrowed, and she turned abruptly. The door of the room was kicked down with a bang, and a burly figure suddenly appeared outside the door, raising his gun and shooting without saying a word.
The Winter Soldier!
Cynthia was worthy of the same skill as the Red Skull, and reacted quickly to sideways avoid the sphirling bullets. The Winter Soldier fired three shots in quick succession, and the bullets exploded through the walls and pierced the wooden table, sending wall powder and sawdust flying everywhere, but not even a single corner of her clothes touched.
"Hey, there's a troublesome guy." Cynthia pursed her lips in annoyance, "Where did it come from?" β
She grabbed the moment before the Winter Soldier could shoot, and the throwing knife hit the pistol in his hand, and the whole person leaped from the table, and slammed the flying leg straight at the door. Winter Soldier's arms are in one square, and he originally planned to use his arms to remove the strength and then counterattack, but unexpectedly, the force from the opponent's legs was surprisingly large, even if he had the power blessing of the mechanical arm, it could not be completely offset, but he was shocked back half a step and lost the opportunity.
Cynthia was surprisingly fast, and her strength was also beyond the expectations of the Winter Soldier. The slightest detail of a master's move can cause the battle to flip, and the Winter Soldier has only been careless for a moment, and the rhythm has completely fallen into the pace of the opponent. Cynthia has been trained by hellish devils in Red Skull since she was a child, and her fighting skills are extremely exquisite, and her consciousness has also been honed to be quite mature. She seized the opportunity and stepped up her offensive while the pace was in her own hands. She flashed another dagger with her backhand, and her fists and feet swept like a storm with the sword light for a while, and it was difficult for Rao is winter soldier to seize the opportunity to effectively counterattack.
But Rao is like this, after all, the Winter Soldier is also a top martial arts master, and he is not behind Cynthia in terms of skill by half a point, and even he has a slight advantage in accumulating a lot of actual combat experience. It's one thing to have a slight advantage by chance, but it's another to beat him completely. Even if she could get away with beating him by a move and a half, it would have been after all the fierce fighting.
On the surface, she seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact, as time went on, Cynthia began to feel more and more uncomfortable. First of all, she didn't know where this winter soldier came from, who was behind the scenes, and who could guarantee that a heavily armed special combat team would break into the door in the next second? Or it could be worse.
Second, even if the Winter Soldier had been chasing him alone, they would have been in the safe house for too long. Now that Captain America and Scripps are missing, Aegis and the Avengers must be looking for them everywhere, and it's no surprise that someone crashes in through the window at any moment.
If Iron Man arrives for a while, she won't be able to slip away even if there are ten.
Cynthia took the time to peek at Captain America, who was almost completely out of strength on the floor next to her, and couldn't help but grit her teeth. Although it is a pity, it seems that she still has to give up this hard-won opportunity.
Thinking of this, Cynthia raised her hand and stabbed the Winter Soldier in the face, followed by a flick of her wrist and a sharp change in direction, and the flying knife broke through the air and flung towards Captain America on the ground.
At this time, the captain had already penetrated deep into his internal organs, and it was impossible for him to have the strength to dodge. The Winter Soldier didn't think about it, and took two steps sideways, blocking the knife with a long arm of metal. The blade "clanged" into his arm and sent a splash of sparks.
Cynthia raised her right hand high, and a smoke screen "snapped" down, and the thick smoke screen quickly expanded, covering her figure and quickly retreating towards the window.
"I'm unlucky this time, but remember me, Steve Rogers, and you. Soon, you'll all have the revenge of the Red Skull's daughter! β
The sound quickly faded away, and by the time the smoke screen had cleared, there was no one ahead.
