Chapter 289: The End of Ambition

With Odysseus himself hanging like a rag on a half-cut of steel bar, his ambitions were finally over. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ruth, who had finished the battle with her own hands, gasped for a long time, and the armor was finally lifted back to her back, and she knelt back to the ground with her knees bent.

"No...... It couldn't be ......."

Odysseus's eyes were still wide, bloodshot and sounding like the last moments of a dying man. But everyone knows that he will not hang up so easily, as long as it takes him a while to recover, but his ambition has come to an end.

Death Knell was almost recovered by this time, he got up and approached Ruth, and put his hand on her shoulder: "Are you alright?" ”

"Leave it to me." Ruth shook off his hand impatiently, "You have abandoned us a long time ago, so why come back and pretend to care now?" ”

"I was here to protect you, Ruth, and I didn't expect you to go down the path you have today." Death Knell said, paused for a moment, and said, "Ruth, it's not too late...... Stop. The last thing I want is for you to follow in my footsteps. ”

"Forget it, you didn't even change my diaper when I was young, so what qualifications do you have to dictate my life now?"

At this time, Jericho had also regained consciousness, fumbled with his drowsy head, and asked, "Ruth?" What's going on now? ”

Ruth hurriedly greeted her brother and hugged him: "It's okay, Jericho, it's over." Are you feeling okay? ”

"It's okay, it's much stronger than before." Jericho shook his head, "It just feels like a hangover." ”

"That's good, you need to get some rest." Ruth smiled sweetly, feeling that she had instantly changed from a ruthless female assassin to a gentle big sister. ”

Deathstroke originally wanted to step forward, but after hesitating, he still didn't go up. Silently, he picked up the sword and inserted it back into the scabbard on his back, turning to leave.

"Woo woo, it's so miserable,"

Deathstroke paused, and turned his head to see Deadpool leaning against the door, wiping tears with his arm, though he couldn't theoretically wipe a tear from his mask.

"What are you doing?" Knell frowned and asked.

"Ah, it's just a touch. I mean, don't you feel miserable that you have traveled all the way to save your children, and they not only don't appreciate it, but they also dislike you like this? ”

Death Knell was silent for a long time and said, "No, that's fine." ”

Eric watched this scene from the sidelines, and felt a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that a character like Deathstroke would have such a side.

"Hey, don't worry." Deadpool flashed to Deathknell's side and rested his elbow on his shoulder, "Even if they don't want you, you still have me!" Isn't it very impressive? You're welcome, who made us brothers? ”

"I don't remember when we became brothers." The death knell is cold and authentic.

Eric walked up to Ruth and Jericho and said, "The clean-up of the battlefield is almost coming, and your position may be a little troublesome, so you should hurry up and go first." ”

Ruth said unexpectedly, "Why?" You're not ...... with Aegis."

Eric shrugged, "No, I'm not working for Aegis - if that's what you think, I'm just doing what I want." If you have anything to say, next time, if you don't leave, it will be difficult to leave if you are bumped into by them. ”

Ruth nodded, helped Jericho to his feet, and said to Eric seriously, "Thank you." ”

Not long after the two left, two groups of people came to the battlefield one after another. On one side is the SHIELD TEAM LED BY Black Widow, and on the other side is the CIA tail sweeping team led by Red Fury.

Natasha came in and went straight to Eric: "Where's the thing?" ”

"Ruth Wilson took it." Eric spread his hands, "Sorry I couldn't stop her." ”

Natasha looked at him suspiciously: "Did you not succeed, or did you not want to?" With your ability, you shouldn't have such an accident, right? ”

"Well, who knows?" Eric smiled meaninglessly.

Red Fury also found his own person directly: "Sred, how is Odysseus?" ”

Death Knell pointed back: "Hang it in the back, be careful not to wake him up when you get it down." ”

"Well done, Slade." "The rest of the payout will also be credited to your new account on time," she said. But then, you'll have to think about the future. ”

"Do you mean that you took away my money, weapons, resources, status, everything?" Knell said coldly, "That's really a lot of gratitude." ”

"In fact, we've already provided you with a way out." Redfury smiled slightly, "We still have a lot of new tasks for you, if you're interested. ”

The death knell was silent for a long time.

"Do I have any choice?"

"Of course you can say no, but I don't recommend that. With where you are now, it may take a long time to re-establish yourself in your industry without our help. Red Fury said, pausing, and adding, "Oh, by the way, since your cooperation seems to be working well this time, you may still need to team up for the next mission." But don't worry, it won't affect each of your commissions. ”

"That's amazing!" Deadpool shouted, "Are you ready, our 'End of the Two' combination is about to reappear!" ”

Deathstroke sighed: "Where did you find this ......?" Forget it, don't tell me, I don't want to know. ”

Suddenly, he felt that the future was dark.

It looks like the combination of Deathstroke and Deadpool has a long way to go, but for Slade, it may be an ordeal.

But that's all for later, and it has nothing to do with Eric for the time being. The mission in Russia has finally come to an end, and he is ready to go home.

Back at the stronghold, he first connected to the video conversation with Raven before packing up.

"yes, it's finally done." Eric breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I should be in New York tomorrow." ”

"It's time for the exam." Raven said in a flat tone, but Eric could see in her eyes that Raven's characteristic "happy" mood.

"yes, you can go to the vegetarian restaurant and reserve a spot first." Eric smiled, "Tomorrow night, I promise that this time there will be no pigeons." ”

"I'd better save that for at least tomorrow afternoon." "It's not convincing to say it now. ”

Eric smiled, and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah...... It's nothing. "So be it, I'll talk about it when I get back tomorrow." ”

"Well, okay."

Although he could see that Eric seemed to have something, since he didn't say it, Raven wouldn't ask about it, as she always did.

After hanging up, Eric turned around and saw Ruth, who was wearing a sexy cropped black ninja suit, quietly appeared in the room without realizing it.

"Girlfriend?" She asked.

"yes, I'm going to have to get in touch if I've been away from home for too long." Eric shrugged.

"That's nice." Ruth smiled lightly, "She's going to be happy, right?" ”

"Why do you think that?"

"Who knows, intuition."

She took off the backpack on her back and handed it to Eric, "I'll give this back to you, you're here to recycle it, right?" ”

Eric shook his head, "No, you can keep it." ”

"Why?" Ruth was puzzled, "You chased all the way to Russia to recover it, why do you want to hand it over to me now?" ”

"It chose you, and now you are its master." "Also, I didn't trust Aegis very much, and now it's got a new director that I don't trust even more. In contrast, I think it's more reassuring to have this armor in your hands...... Maybe it's because we're similar in some places. ”

"Speaking of which, you haven't told me your complicated family story yet." Ruth smiled and said, "I'll go to New York to find you, and you'll have to tell me when the time comes." ”

"Got it, next time I come to New York, I'll invite you, and we'll have another drink."

"Then it's a deal."

Ruth turned and walked to the window, but stopped for a moment before jumping out.

Coldly, she spun back, caught off guard and back in front of Eric, giving him a deep kiss on the lips before he could react.

"Wait...... Wait......"

She stretched out a finger, pressed his lips, and smiled: "This is a secret between you and me, don't tell your little girlfriend~"

With that, she went back to the window and jumped out, her silver hair fluttering in the dark night.
