Chapter 8: Cooperation
"Where did Russia take this, the weapon that can kill superhumans?"
Marven's eyes were filled with tears, he gritted his teeth, and his voice trembled.
Mallory shook his head: "After the implementation of the Iron Curtain policy, it became very difficult to track down. Really, that's all I can do. ”
"You know what the Soldier Boy did to my family, don't you think I need to know the truth?"
"It's not that simple."
Marven was almost unable to contain his anger, and Arthur and Hue forcibly took him away.
In the car, Marven kept scolding with a crying voice, venting to the car door, obviously it was almost a little, obviously Mallory always knew that there was a weapon that could kill superpowers, obviously...
It was as if the heavens were teasing him and making him struggle in front of the truth.
……
A familiar scene, a familiar location, everyone returned to the basement again, which is not only a base place, but also a place for everyone to exchange information, make plans, and store weapons and equipment.
For the sake of Ryan, Butcher risked his life to meet with Edgar.
Some kind of deal was struck.
"We need help from the Russians."
Butcher's language is short, and the meaning of the expression is terrifying.
Frankie's expression changed abruptly, and he understood what Butcher was trying to say, and he panicked.
"No, I don't agree."
"It's up to you."
"I vowed not to work for Nina again."
"It's not working for her, it's working for us."
Butcher stressed that Frankie seems to have mistaken his position, which needs to be corrected.
"So, before we go to Russia, we're going to find this guy named Nina?"
Arthur pretended to be confused and asked the appropriate question.
In his impression, Nina seems to be a gang boss with many younger brothers.
Frankie used to work in her hands.
However, at present, it seems that the two do not get along well.
"The Earth Snake is far more effective than the Dragon of the River, and there is no better understanding of Russia than the Russians." Butcher's eyes were deep.
He is adept at taking advantage of all the good things, good or bad.
This is also the main reason why he is annoying.
Ugh.
Reaching out and taking the soda on the table, pulling the pull ring, the carbon dioxide in the can broke free from the drink due to the lack of air pressure, and rushed out: "I'll go find that Nina, the tools you are going to deal with the motherland, it's best not to have a head-on conflict with him, assuming that you can't take it away smoothly." ”
Arthur paused, blowing open the surface bubbles: "I'll protect myself first, understand?" ”
The atmosphere became delicate, and Butcher coughed lightly: "Let Frankie accompany you." ”
There was a strong sense of resistance in Francie's heart, but before he could say anything, Butcher solemnly added: "Go and make a decision." ”
……
Brighton Beach, Tverskaya, Russian groceries and delicatessens, Arthur two pushed open glass doors.
The wind chimes hanging from the door swayed with a crunching sound.
The shelves are full of goods. Bread, drinks, toys, canned food, all kinds of Russian gadgets.
Inside, two refrigerated cabinets are filled with fresh meat and sausages.
A plump middle-aged woman in a blue blouse at the counter is settling the amount of goods for customers.
It wasn't until the store was clear that the woman walked out of the counter: "Remember you entered here a few years ago." ”
He took out the lady's cigarette from the cigarette case and threw it at Franche: "People don't change, and their desires only grow, my Sergey." Do you miss our private time together? ”
The cigarette case landed on Frankie's chest and fell to the ground along his body. Ever since Frankie entered the store, he had been extremely nervous.
Restless, he simply left the stool and stood behind Arthur, acting as a thug.
Arthur sat on the wooden bench for a long time.
Looking at the woman in front of her who was playing with Frankie, she stretched out her hand to the wooden stool opposite, "Do you want to sit down and talk?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Nina spat out the smoke ring, went straight behind Arthur, tucked her right leg between Frankie's legs, leaned somewhere, and whispered, "I can do it anytime, will you come back to me again?" Like a puppy to me, wagging its tail? ”
"Not anymore, Nina."
Nina's audacity makes Frankie angry, and he is completely manipulated. So that the words he said were a little lacking in confidence.
"So, what are you here for me?"
Retracted his right leg, turned to Arthur's side, pressed one hand on the table, and asked curiously.
"We're looking for some kind of special technology, a weapon. I think you should know something about it. ”
"What a prize."
"I'm just telling the truth. Miss Nina has a lot of eyeliner and knows more people than anyone like me can imagine. ”
Arthur praised people, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
Decades of experience have allowed him to control his emotions, just like that first-line actor and motherland.
The harmless smile of humans and animals can be disguised at any time.
"But why should I help you?"
Taking a deep puff of her cigarette, her face showing an intoxicated look, the corners of Nina's mouth turned up, and her eyes were playful.
"We're just getting started, don't tell me there's no room for manoeuvre."
Arthur was not in a hurry and was patient in the matter.
"Use your little laser eye to do a few things for me."
Nina clearly knows Arthur's identity, after all, he is someone who has been on TV.
"No, don't even think about it."
Without waiting for Arthur to reply, Frankie refused.
"One piece." Feeling the other party's gaze, he chuckled: "Although I don't know what you're going to do, the things that come out of your mouth are definitely worth more than I want." ”
The right hand slid over the table and rested lightly on Arthur's shoulder: "I found that I liked you, but alas, my Sergei would not agree." ”
Sergei is the former name of Franche.
Wiping off his palm without a trace, Arthur asked, "Do you need to talk about the transaction here?" ”
"Of course... No. She took out the pink phone from the back pocket of her leather pants, hooked up Arthur's short-sleeved sleeve, and dotted it on the bare skin on her arm: "Use this connection." ”
Full of temptation, Arthur did not waver. Any intimate act of a stranger has a great purpose behind it.
This woman is clever and deadly to the royal sister.
Ordinary people may fall into it.
But Arthur was no ordinary man.
Knowing her purpose, she couldn't just want him to be her thug.
Kill for her, make money for her.
took the phone, got up from the wooden bench, stretched out his right hand, and showed a smirk: "Happy cooperation." ”
"It's a pleasure to work with." Nina smiled.
Walking out of the store, Frankie caught up with Arthur and asked, "Why did you agree to her terms?" ”
"We don't suffer, do we."
Arthur's tone was indifferent and did not take this matter to heart.
"Arthur?"
Just as the two were about to get into the car, a female voice came from the street, her tone full of doubt and uncertainty.
