"Hello, Mr. Carson."

“... Hello General. ”

S.H.I.E.L.D.

Conference room.

When Carson heard that he was going to be called to a meeting alone, he felt a little empty.

But if you think about it carefully, you haven't made any mistakes, and it's impossible for the secret to be discovered.

So, although Phillips, one of the Big Three of S.H.I.E.L.D., sat opposite, he still maintained a confident and gentlemanly smile.

Phillips took Carson's resume and read it carefully: "I joined the army in 1944, mainly on the Eastern Front, and also participated in the Normandy landings, which is good. ”

Well, is it to reward me?

Carson was even more determined, and smiled: "It is my honor to serve my country." ”

"What a glory." Phillips smiled contemptuously, "Alright, everyone, don't talk about this kind of boring nonsense." ”

Carson tilted his head slightly, "Sir, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"I mean, long live Hydra?"

Carson's eyes widened, "What, so you too..."

As soon as the words came out, he already realized that he had been played.

Really.

"Hmph, I'm not a hydra, but you are."

Phillips slammed the table, and two strong men in S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms rushed in and pinned Carson against the table.

Followed by Howard and Peggy.

The strong man had apparently been accounted for a long time ago, and after subduing Carson, he first reached into the socket of his back teeth and pulled out the poison used for suicide.

"Hold him down and put him in solitary confinement." Phillips ordered the brawny man to drag Carson, who shouted Long live Hydra, out of the conference room and slapped the list from Zola's room on the table.

"There are 23 on the list, and it's really all Hydra!!"

Half an hour ago, Howard deciphered the list of ciphers written by Mr. X, and Phillips immediately sifted through the list one by one.

As a result, the people on the list reacted more or less as soon as they heard 'Long live Hydra', apparently knowing that this sentence was a code word between Hydra.

Although the evidence is not conclusive, it is basically impossible to run.

What a horror it is.

Howard also said with palpitations: "We are really blind, the hydra not only did not disappear, but also blended into us!" ”

"yes." Peggy clutched her chest and said in surprise, "Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise in another ten years, Hydra would have been deeply entrenched in S.H.I.E.L.D., you have me, I have you, and it is impossible to tell who does things for whom." ”

"I found it early, do you think this is the end?" Phillips nodded to the list, "Are you sure this list is all the members of Hydra?" ”

“... It makes sense, not only inside S.H.I.E.L.D., but also externally. ”

"That's... What to do? ”

"What else can I do, ask, isolate these 23 people, and ask back and forth repeatedly."

Phillips said fiercely, "Let me first explain that the Geneva Conventions are invalid for them, do you have any opinions?" ”

Howard and Peggy look at each other.

"No comment."

"Boss, it's here."

Outside the gate of the company's office building, the Mexican driver was the first to get out of the car, go around to the back seat, and respectfully open the door for Paul.

"Thanks, Koregon."

Paul said, grabbed his coffee, got out of the car, and entered the office building.

Eight months have passed, and Kirin Real Estate Consulting Co., Ltd. has further developed and grown, not to mention Paul, even the second-level management personnel have a company car.

This naturally has the credit of the ancient one's box of jewelry, but it is also inseparable from Maria's queenly leadership, as well as Paul's star benefits and 'excellent' sales skills.

"Paul, you're back!"

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, the roar of excitement resounded throughout the floor.

Paul had to make a silencing gesture towards Victor: "How many times have you said it, don't make a lot of noise in the office." ”

"Got it, got it." Victor put his arm around Paul and walked to the security room, whispering, "The boss is not here, let's play cards." ”

"Don't." Paul deliberately put on a look of resentment, "You won the dog last night, and I have sworn to quit gambling in the future." ”

He has the ability to perceive, and at the gambling table, he can win if he wants to win, and he can lose if he wants to lose.

Last night was a deliberate loss to Victor.

The big stick and the sweetness are equally important in taming the beast.

With the interaction of these two means, Victor is more like that than he was eight months ago, not only has he never shown his claws to Paul or anyone else, but he is also happy to work as a security guard.

Although it is still a little wild, by the standards of the saber-toothed tiger, it can do not drink, smoke or make loud noises during the day, and do not scatter the corpses in the security room and bag them.

Paul thought there was no need to ask for anything more.

After all, Victor and Logan, in protecting the company, cannot be said to be conscientious, but they must be overkill.

Because, for eight whole months, Charles. Rockefeller never came to trouble again.

Eight months ago, Maria and Paul saw reports that Charles had survived a no-confidence vote in the board.

It's amazing.

But I wasn't too surprised.

Howard. Stark said that whether Charles can survive this test depends on whether the other members of the Rockefeller family are willing to help him.

Now it seems that blood is thicker than water.

At that time, Maria thought that this time, Charles would not die, and I was afraid that she would use more despicable means to get them.

Moreover, it may be directly on physical means.

smashed, looted, and burned, just like the illegitimate son of the Xie Lan family.

Don't look at Charles, who looks sven, with evil intentions, he can still do these things.

Hire someone to do it, of course.

In order to prevent it, he also gave Victor and Logan a salary increase and bought life insurance.

Although Paul felt that Charles had been frightened and would not come to harass him again, he did not stop it.

Isn't it just spending a little more money?

Sure enough, for eight months, the wind and waves were calm.

The employees were sick and painless, and no one came to splash paint and set fire to throw snakes and rats.

Paul still finds it a little boring.

However, this also shows that his intimidation of Charles at that time was indeed in place, and Charles did not dare to fight the idea of unicorn again since then.

Eight months later, even Maria thought Charles might have stopped.

Of course, it's better not to cause trouble, you can do business happily, and you can be a girl in peace, although you are comfortable and passionate, but you shouldn't ask too much for yourself.

It's Victor and Logan, the two high-paid goods, who were invited for nothing.

Paul also loses some money to Victor from time to time.

But it's not a big problem, after eight months, Paul has a lot of fun with these two goods, eating, drinking, gambling and occasionally having fun during work hours.

Hearing that Paul was going to quit gambling, Victor was still anxious: "Don't, at most I'll treat you to two drinks tonight, how about it." ”

"You can think about it." Paul's face softened slightly, "But don't stay at night, go to your place now and have two low-alcohol drinks." ”

"Hey, that's right, I've got beer."

"Where's Logan?"

"When the boss goes out, of course the driver has to follow."

The two were about to enter the security room when the elevator door behind them opened again.

"Mr. Tibbetts."

Paul turned his head and saw that it was Mary's boyfriend.

David. Fox.

Seeing David, Victor actually took the initiative to say hello: "The landlord is here, but our boss is not there." ”

"It's okay." David smiled, "I came to Mr. Tibbetts while Maria was away. ”
