Chapter 047: Knell's Plan
As the socialites at the party were so frightened by the shock and explosion that the scene went into chaos, and when several mutants—including but not limited to saber-toothed tigers and Wolverine—began their attacks, Deathknell, who was half a mile away and was only watching through a sniper scope, nodded in satisfaction.
So far, the whole thing is going within Deathknell's plan.
From the first moment he received the mission, Death Knell was constantly scrutinizing the details of the operation. Theoretically, he didn't need to do that. Unlike other Hydra agents who have devoted almost half of their lives to Hydra, the relationship between the members of the enforcement team and Hydra is more like an ordinary employment relationship - no, to be precise, the relationship between the owner and the guest. Therefore, as the one with a more transcendent status in the law enforcement team, there is no need for Knell to be so involved. However, he himself does things in this style, and more importantly, this time the mission is different from the others.
This mission, the leader of Hydra on paper - John Garrett, the director of the bureau who is responsible for coordinating the operation of the entire spy agency - personally handed over to Death Bell, and at that time, Garrett and Death Bell were two people on the scene, in addition, he also let several elite agents guard the periphery to eliminate the possibility of leaking secrets. It was after that meeting that the death knell got the meaning of Garrett in a cryptic way, even if it was already a private meeting. The point of the mission is not to publicly state the reason for hunting down the superpowered murderer, nor is it to eliminate the mutants as Rhaegar and Coulson thought they were - of course, if there is a good opportunity, the death knell will not miss it, let alone protect Thomas Wayne or keep the charity party running smoothly or anything. The goal of the mission is to find Thomas Wayne and a third party other than mutants, or something that third party is in possession of, to be precise. Knell didn't know what that thing was, but he was sure that Garrett had secretly conveyed this meaning to him without informing Hydra of the Super Council, which was even higher than Garrett's director, and even the Supreme Leader Alexander Pierce.
That's interesting, isn't it?
Therefore, the death knell began to be suspicious early. It was he who left the clues for the saber-toothed tigers to kill those people along the way, the bodies that Coulson and they were going to inspect as soon as they arrived in Gotham; It was he who secretly lured the mutants to target Thomas Wayne, and when the mutants wanted to use the villains in Arkham Asylum to divert the attention of the Gothams, he also used a cold-blooded massacre to dispel the mutants' plan, and transferred some of the Gotham police and Thomas Wayne's personal bodyguards, setting a direction that the mutants had to follow when they knew they were in danger; Even Rhaegar and the others were assigned by the Hydra headquarters to give Death Knell a hand on this mission, which was part of Deathknell's overall plan - he needed someone to attract attention from the outside world and distract from other sources so that his own actions could be carried out secretly and smoothly.
It's worth mentioning here that the reason why Knell chose Rhaegar among so many people in Hydra is because they are high-profile enough. Someone once pointed out that Hydra is the secret police of the new era, and this is not for nothing. In the past two months since the first mission, Rhaegar and his special operations team have attracted the attention of many people from all walks of life with their more friendly and open style, which has raised a lot of impression points for Hydra. This is also the reason why this special ops squad has some support within the Hydra Super Council. Now, Rhaegar's style, set by Coulson, has become the purpose of their use by Deathstroke.
However, one report after another. Death Knell is now going to regret it. In his original plan, Thomas Wayne was threatened by the mutants, and then the hidden third party would appear, and he could then use his sniper rifle to shoot an empty bullet with a radioactive mark on the third party's body and know its whereabouts. Now, however, through the sniper scope, he sees that Coulson, Ward, and Rhaegar have ignored his request and are still on the scene, and they have saved Thomas Wayne from the saber-toothed tiger.
Damn it!
The game that had been arranged for so long was destroyed by Rhaega and them, and the anger of Death Knell can be imagined. He could only hope that the mutants would be more powerful and 'get Regha' as soon as possible so that things could get things back on track. Now that Thomas Wayne had retreated under the protection of Rhaegar and them, he could no longer sit in this place where he was about to lose his sight. He could only drop his sniper rifle and carry the same radio-marked pistol bullets and rush to the scene half a mile away, waiting for the moment when the mutants forced out the third party by killing them all and threatening Thomas Wayne's life.
While Deathstroke is running towards the Gotham Hotel in the dark, Rhaegar is escorting Thomas Wayne to the Gotham Hotel's underground parking lot. It was Ward's job to protect Wayne Sr., but now it's up to Rhaegar to protect Old Wayne.
"Don't go to the right, Rhaeggar, there's a mutant in the aisle on your right." Skye's voice came from the in-ear communication device, "Don't turn left, they will find you when they turn around, just rush forward!" ”
"Good! But Skye, you should get out of this hotel as soon as possible. And Fitz and Simmons, it's not safe here! ”
"Don't worry, we're safe, we're close to Coulson. Ward was still downstairs, but there was no problem with his side. The point is that you ......"
At this time, Rhaegar was holding a stun gun with an ordinary stun bullet in his left hand, and his right hand, which was still faintly painful, was barely raised, and Thomas Wayne, who was protecting his side, passed through another aisle. In the previous few minutes, Coulson and Ward, who were originally with them, were left behind from the mutants in order to buy them time, and Rhaegar was able to escape with Thomas Wayne with his right hand.
Even after Coulson and Ward broke off, the mutants were still chasing after each other. It's also a shame that the mutants have an unusually clear goal, which is to ask Thomas Wayne, so Ward and Coulson only suffered a few minor injuries and did not encounter a killer. However, this also means that the effect after the break will not be much better, and Rhaegar and Thomas Wayne will still have to face a lot of pressure on their side. Now, even though Rhaegar and the others were walking on the optimal route that Skye had analyzed, a large hole was broken in the wall on the right side of the front with a "boom", and one person walked out - they were still blocked by mutants.
"My God, Rhaeggar, have you encountered mutants?" Through the communication equipment on Rhaegar's side, Skye also heard the movement here, and quickly asked with concern, "Damn, there are no cameras in this aisle, so I can't see the scene...... Tell me what he looks like, and maybe we can guess his superpowers. ”
"No, I know what superpowers he has." Rhaegar said lightly. He held Thomas Wayne tightly behind him while staring at the young man across from him with a stinky hairstyle and an ADHD model.
"His external characteristics are obvious?" This time it was Simmons' voice. However, the voice of this girl who is not very high in emotional intelligence and has a lot of intuition suddenly changed: "No, you were the first to discover their superpowers of the mutants you encountered before...... You seem to be particularly familiar with mutants? ”
