In the dark of night, outside a mansion, Ward in a nightcoat appeared outside. This is his brother Christian's home, and it's where his nightmares once were.

In the past, whenever he thought of his brother Christian Ward, the glamorous senator, Ward would always have an irrepressible resentment in his heart. When he was a child, he was taken care of by this "elder brother", which directly led to the development of his character in the direction of destruction and violence.

But now, Ward's heart did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he just carefully thought about whether his plan was inconsiderate.

After thinking for a while, Ward no longer hesitated and quietly sneaked into the mansion. Although the mansion is very tightly secured, for Ward, an elite agent, it is almost like being unguarded.

Ward easily crossed the infrared alarm, between two rounds of security patrols, and then climbed into the study on the second floor.

His brother Christian Ward was reading a book in his study at this time, and when he saw someone suddenly appear, he almost called out to the security guard in fright.

But when he saw Ward's face clearly, a look of disgust appeared on his face and said, "A person of your age doesn't know how to ring the doorbell?" ”

On the surface, Ward's brother is five or six points similar to him, but the bookish atmosphere is a little thicker than Ward's.

"My brother, I heard you're looking for me?" Ward said with a smile on his face.

"Where have you been? I heard from S.H.I.E.L.D. that you were missing, and I thought you were dead. Christian said in a serious tone.

"I know, I heard that you have prepared a eulogy and intend to read it out at my funeral." Ward's mood fluctuated unabated.

"I've spent countless manpower and material resources looking for you!" Christian seems to be very unhappy with his brother's attitude.

However, Ward only walked slowly to his brother's side and punched him hard.

The force of this punch was huge, and it directly beat Christian to the point where his face was covered with blood, and the person fainted directly. Then, Ward left the mansion with his brother on his shoulder, without alarming anyone.

Christian woke up to a violent jolt caused by the car's drive in the rugged mountains.

When Christian opened his eyes, he found that his hands and feet were tied, as if they were in the trunk of the car.

In this small, stuffy space, Christian was jolted for a long time before Ward dug out of the trunk.

"Grant! What exactly are you doing? I'm your brother. Christian roared angrily at Ward!

"Of course I remember you as my brother, and I remember how it felt like you forced me to throw Thomas into a well and watch him struggle to sink." Ward said calmly.

Thomas was Ward's youngest brother, and the family had a total of three brothers.

"It's your own delusion! You're the one who abused Thomas, you're putting the blame on me, your mind is messed up! Christian continued to growl.

"I'm not here to argue with you, brother. Actually, I understand why you did it in the first place. The two of us have a pair of sadistic parents, which is very unfortunate. And Thomas, he is the only child that his mother will not abuse. So you're jealous, but you don't dare to do it directly to Thomas, so you can only coerce me to do it. ”

"It's your own fantasy! You're crazy, Grant! Christian said in shock.

"Originally, I also wondered if it was because the bad things I had done in the past conflicted with the ideals that I considered a hero, which led to my self-hypnosis. But now, as I comb through my memories over and over again, I can finally be sure that it's you who are truly guilty. Ward said with a smile.

Seeing Ward's expression, Christian knew that it was useless for him to say anything, and asked in horror, "Grant, what exactly do you want to do?" I can apologize to you for what I did wrong. ”

"If you admit it, then please tell me half of what happened back then." Ward pulled out a pistol, pointed it at Christian, and spoke to him very seriously.

Although he was still a little hesitant, Christian still confessed what he had done back then under Ward's gaze.

The Ward family, who seem to have some kind of psychiatric genetic disorder, is prone to extreme emotions. This caused Ward's parents to become a sadistic couple, making the two brothers' childhoods very miserable.

Thomas was probably the child who came into the world with a blessing, and his birth reminded the Wards of the responsibility of parenthood, but that responsibility was only for the youngest child.

As for the brothers Christian and Grant, they are still living in horrific abuse.

"Yes, I threaten you to throw Thomas into the well, I'm going to drown him, I'm going to make that woman feel the grief of losing the love of the most! I hate them, I hate my parents! Christian cried and told all the dusty memories.

"I'm sorry, Grant, it was my mistake, I'm sorry!" Christian said to his brother in tears.

Originally, this was the biggest darkness in Grant Ward's heart, which led to very serious mental problems in him. Seeing his brother confess at this moment, Ward should have been a lot more relaxed.

However, he simply said to Christian: "No need to apologize, my brother, I have forgiven your sins. For I have also been redeemed and born again. But I'm sorry, but I have to sacrifice you for another, more noble ideal. I hope that in your next life, you will not meet your sadistic parents again, let alone abuse your younger brother. ”

It was the last thing Christian heard, and then he felt a darkness in front of him.

Ward dragged Christian, who was unconscious again, into the deep mountain forest, which not only contains Ward's childhood memories, but also his parents, who have always lived in the villa in the mountain.

Three days later, Ward returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. and was immediately called into his office by Garrett.

"Ward, I would have been glad you were back, but thought I needed an explanation." Garrett pointed to the news reports on television.

A shocking news was playing on the TV: "Councillor Christian Ward is suspected of killing his parents and committing suicide for the crime, leaving a suspected last words recording at the scene accusing his parents of his past abuse ......"

"When I entered the Tinder Source Inc., I discovered that they were working on a special weapon that could affect people's emotions. I wanted to investigate deeply, but during a sneak in, I accidentally got hit by this weapon. My head was a mess, like crazy.

"You know my past, the hatred that came back to my head over and over again made me unable to think about it. In the end, I knew I had to get my revenge, or I would never come back to my senses. Ward explained.

"I said you would have a chance to take revenge personally, but definitely not now!" Garrett roared.

"I'm sorry, but I really couldn't control myself at the time." Ward said apologetically.

"You wasted more than half a year and gave me this answer?" Garrett said with great dissatisfaction.

If all Ward had brought back was this explanation, he wouldn't hesitate to kill him. Hydra needs more than a reason, but a real benefit.

"I didn't get my hands on the blueprints for that emotional weapon, but I wasn't completely unrewarded." Ward placed the USB flash drive containing the design materials for the sensor gloves in front of Garrett.

After carefully reading the information inside, Garrett's face softened slightly.

"It's a matter of making up for it, but in order to ensure your loyalty, I need you to go to headquarters for a psychological evaluation and polygraph." Garrett stared at Ward's face as he said this, not letting go of every expression.

However, Ward's expression was very normal, without the slightest fluster.

Only to hear him reply: "There is no problem, long live the hydra!" ”
