Chapter 228: She
What Grant wants to know is simple - what has become of Skye?
Listening to Whitehall and picking up the results or something, that's probably a good thing for Skye. But are there any sequelae? Fat? Skinny? Got wings? Like Hank McCoy, the beast in mutants? Even worse than him?
Also, what Whitehall refers to as a "specific group of people...... When did Skye have another identity like this? That sounds even more secluded than a mutant. As for the obelisk, which is said to be able to turn a "certain group of people" into mutant-like beings, it is definitely not a simple thing to have this effect. Considering Garrett's phrase "waited for decades", he didn't even know about Hydra and the decades they had been lurking, it could be something from outside the earth.
After eavesdropping for a while, there was really nothing to pay attention to, and Grant left.
And the conversation in the room continued. It didn't start because that "guest" came uninvited, and it didn't end there.
"I mean, aren't we the most sophisticated spy organization in the world? Why is there such an organization, and we don't have any news at all? β
It was Grantward who shifted the conversation away from Skye. After being dragged by Whitehall for a long time, he was unusually depressed. It's not that he didn't squirt back, and he pretended to be helpless and victimized. It's a pity that his speaking skills are not as good as Whitehall's, but he also doesn't have the calm and relaxed temperament of the other party, and his status is much worse. So after a few words, he could only change the subject.
It's just that Ward's skills are really not good. However, the theme is attractive enough to make do. Whitehall finally let him go.
"Not to mention before, in fact, I haven't encountered this kind of thing yet. Even the originally inconspicuous AIM Desperate Virus, the Centipede Organization's Superman Project in collaboration with Cybertech, are all under our control, even the mutants who have only reactivated in recent years. We also knew about it as early as the end of World War II. Even Latvia, which was run by Dr. Doom and closed like an egg, and Wakanda, which is rich in sound-absorbing metal in Africa, we have always known about their existence. But now a mysterious and powerful organization suddenly came into our sight, and it appeared on its own initiative, without any warning before. It's hard to accept. β
Seeing Whitehall say these meaningless words with a serious face, Ward had no intention of resentment. Instead, I rejoiced in the successful shift in the topic. Garrett is different. He listened carefully and thought very carefully. Unlike Whitehall, who was pushed here by the other leaders, Garrett came to Bermuda on his own initiative. His goal was to get closer to Whitehall, preferably with the support of the other party.
At the beginning, under the auspices of Coulson, some people in S.H.I.E.L.D. used the power of the Avengers to first expose his Hydra identity, which was still the director at the time, and then made trouble with the World Security Council. In that counterattack that belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D., the unprepared Hydra suffered heavy losses, and several important chess pieces that were still lurking on the side of S.H.I.E.L.D. were exposed. Among them, the greatest losses were the death of Secretary-General Alexander Pierce and the disappearance of Rumlow, the leader of the special operations team. To know. The special operations team was created by Hydra using the resources of S.H.I.E.L.D. and referring to the style of the Black Shadow Force back then, and there are countless things that have been done for Hydra over the years. And as the captain, Rumlow is the soul of the whole team, and its importance is self-evident. Not to mention Alexander Pierce. The position of Secretary-General is the most important reason for the rapid development of Hydra over the years. In addition, Pierce is also one of the leaders of Hydra, and his forces are even more powerful than Whitehall's.
Garrett came for the position of leader that originally belonged to Pierce and has now been vacant for more than a year.
If you want to be a leader, you must at least have enough presence. Or rather, enough contributions. Before he was able to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., it was completely because of Pierce's efforts. Nothing to do with his abilities. So many things happened then, and the contribution to Hydra was lackluster. And this year, he has been fighting against Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. special operations team, and he has won and lost each other, which could have been used as his bargaining chip. But because of last month's loss, Whitehall lost an opportunity to threaten the world with fear, so the so-called chips were greatly reduced. Now I want to sit in that position. He felt he needed to find outside help.
So why did he choose Whitehall to be offended by him? It's very simple, the other party is a person who has lived from World War II to the present, and his qualifications go without saying. Moreover, Whitehall is more knowledgeable than the other bosses, especially when it comes to the supernatural. What's more. Whitehall was more interested in exploring the supernatural than powerful. Such a partnership couldn't be better for Garrett.
In fact, the terms of cooperation have been almost negotiated. Whitehall promised to support him in his succession to Alexander Pierce, and would go back after the discussion was over. And now, Garrett can't wait to fulfill his duties as a leader.
"But you were already the leader of Hydra at the end of World War II. The most senior ones must know more than others, right? I'm sure you know some secrets that the other leaders don't know. β
After Whitehall said that, Garrett flattered him. He then asked, "Isn't there some news about Bermuda?" β
Unexpectedly, what he ushered in was the other party's suddenly changed attitude.
"It's not me who has the most seniority. You don't know ...... viper."
Halfway through speaking, he stopped, and Whitehall waved his hand, looking a little irritated: "Forget it, let's talk about it when you become the leader." Now you're not qualified to know those. β
Hearing this, Garrett was shockedβit sounds like there is someone in Hydra who has lived longer than Whitehall? Well, no, judging by Whitehall's tone, that person should be from the same period as Whitehall. Moreover, that person should have something that made Whitehall envious, even jealous.
Viper? Is this a magical creature? Or someone's code name?
"Man, can't you just reveal it first? With your support, I don't think I will miss that position. So, what does it matter if it's just that little bit of time? β
As a result, Whitehall had a smiling expression on his face.
"Are you sure? I don't care. But if that person knows that you know about her existence from me, maybe you won't be able to sit in that position at all. β
Now Garrett didn't dare to ask any more.
But ...... "her"? (To be continued......)
