Hunter starting from Hunter World

Vienna, the capital of Austria, is a world-famous capital of music and art. Its history can be traced back to the ancient Roman period and has witnessed almost all important events in Europe.

But today, in an ancient castle here, many elites and dignitaries from all walks of life suddenly gathered.

Some of them are important politicians in the EU system, and some are super rich with a net worth of more than 10 billion...

Although their numbers are small, their energy is far beyond anyone's imagination.

You don't need to ask to know that these guys are none other than Hydra's snakeheads in Europe.

And unlike those newly rising nouveau riche in the Americas, each of their families has lasted for at least hundreds of years, and their ancestors are all genuine nobles with fiefdoms.

It was these guys who built the original Hydra from scratch and expanded it to its limit when the Red Skull came to power in World War II.

However, with the defeat of Germany, many ancient families were liquidated by the times. They were quickly beaten to nothing under the righteous iron fist of the Allied Forces. Only a few who were deeply hidden were able to escape.

Later, with the end of World War II, the entire Europe entered reconstruction and economic recovery. Taking advantage of the favorable economic situation, this group of fish that slipped through the net quickly blended into various industries and grew stronger with the funds and connections in their hands.

And Gideon Malik is their leader.

Looking at the allies around him who once betrayed the Malick family and took refuge in the Red Skull, and later accepted his protection out of fear of being liquidated, Gideon Malick's eyes flashed with contempt, and he deliberately coughed hard: Ahem! Everyone, You must be wondering why I suddenly summoned everyone without warning, right?

It's indeed a bit strange. According to the information we received, Baron Strucker's secret base in Sokovia has just been destroyed by the Avengers. This means that Europe is the only organization in the world that has not suffered a fatal blow. Place. Theoretically, we should keep a low profile at this time and try not to arouse suspicion from the outside world.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the tone of an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies.

It was easy to see from the expression on his face that he did not understand the significance of this emergency call at all.

Not only him, but also everyone else started to test him out.

Agree! This is too risky! It's just a joke on our lives!

Baron Strucker didn't betray us before he died, did he?

I think we should use the spies within SHIELD and the International Security Council to find out what the Avengers discovered from the Sokovia base.

Not only that! We all need to be ready to move.

…

As you and I discussed each other, the whole room soon became as noisy as a vegetable market, and there was no trace of the etiquette and grace of the so-called old European aristocrats.

After all, with the failure of Alexander Pierce's insight plan and the deaths of two extremely important leaders in North America and Eastern Europe, many people felt frightened, fearing that it would be their turn next.

Seeing that the situation was getting a little out of control, Gideon Malik immediately slammed the table and shouted: Quiet! I summoned you, so I have a reason to summon you.

moment!

The sound that was chaotic a second ago suddenly became dead silence, just like pressing the mute button.

No matter how dissatisfied the people present were in their hearts, they quickly shut their mouths and never dared to make a sound again.

Seeing this scene, Gideon Malik nodded with satisfaction: Very good! Now let me explain it to you. The main reason why I called you here today is to obtain a powerful treasure. .”

treasure?

There was an expression of interest on the face of a white man about fifty years old.

If the top brass of Hydra have anything in common, it is undoubtedly that they are all full of desire and curiosity for supernatural powers.

Initially, they worshiped the Inhuman Hive and worshiped it like a god.

The Red Skull, who later joined the German army, became madly obsessed with Nordic mythology and followed the prompts to find the space gem - the Cosmic Cube.

In the eyes of these people, only magic and superpowers are the most important things to seize world domination.

That's right! It's a treasure, a treasure that can be compared with the gem on the Mind Scepter and the Cosmic Cube. Its name is the Soul Gem, which allows the holder to gain powerful power to control the soul. Jidi En Malik pretended to be generous and told the truth.

Of course, he had his own purpose in doing this, which was to use a very ancient method to select a victim from among these people and ask the other party to sacrifice the person he cared about most in order to achieve the purpose of obtaining the soul gem.

When Allen revealed the information about the Soul Stone to Alexander Pierce, he made it very clear how to obtain the Infinity Stone.

Therefore, the top leaders of Hydra basically know the two necessary prerequisites for obtaining the soul gem.

The first one is naturally to get the portal to the alien planet, and the second one is to prepare a sacrificer and the person he cares about most.

Where did you get this news? Is it accurate? Another person asked cautiously.

Gideon Malik responded without thinking: This news originally came from Alexander Pierce. I think it is very reliable. After all, he once brought us the Psychic Scepter.

But the scepter has been snatched away by the Avengers! Straker, a loser, can't even deliver that treasure.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the old man who spoke before couldn't help roaring angrily.

You must know that it is the power that can forcibly change a person's will and heart.

If used correctly, secretly controlling the ruling class of governments around the world can be as easy as eating and drinking.

But what's the result?

A good deck of cards was played to a pulp.

It could have been used directly, but Baron Strucker insisted on using it for higher research.

It's good now, both the research results and the spiritual scepter have become the trophies of the Avengers.

It is foreseeable that if this thing is controlled by the big powers behind the International Security Council, Hydra will really never have peace in the future.

Because they don't even need to interrogate or torture, they only need to use the psychic scepter to turn the cadres who were originally loyal to Hydra into agents loyal to SHIELD, and then follow the clues to hide them one by one. Dig out all the Hydras.

Even if they can't catch them all, as long as these people are forced to give up their originally glamorous and influential social identities, Hydra will inevitably decline.

After all, if their most powerful infiltration and corrosion are not effective, then at best they will be a group similar to a terrorist organization, a cult, and a mafia, unable to make much of a splash.

Just when Gideon Malik was about to say something, the roar of an airplane engine suddenly came from outside the window.

Immediately afterwards, a Quinjet originally manufactured for S.H.I.E.L.D. slowly landed in the center of the castle courtyard.

Of course, the mark on the plane is not SHIELD's eagle, but the octopus that symbolizes Hydra.

Before anyone else could realize what was happening, Crossbones controlled the heavy portal with his mind and walked out from behind the cabin.

The strongest thug in existence in Hydra didn't even say a word. He slammed the portal in the center of the courtyard and raised his arms to signal his men to take action immediately.

After a while, the energy generated by the two small nuclear fusion reactors was continuously supplied to the portal.

Soon, something like a space diaphragm rose out of thin air.

Then everyone present clearly saw that on the other side of the door, a magnificent scene that could not be described in words emerged.

For humans on Earth who have not even ventured out of the solar system, the sight of Vormir is truly shocking to their hearts.

Hahaha! It seems the information is true! That gem really exists! Crossbones laughed happily.

As a die-hard loyalist of Hydra, he has never wanted to leave the organization, but firmly believes that the future of the world and mankind is in the hands of Hydra.

As for the current governments of various countries, they cannot even resolve their own internal racial, ethnic, religious and regional conflicts. They do not forget to create obstacles for each other. They are simply not qualified to lead mankind out of the earth and embrace the vast universe.

Brock! Take your people and do what needs to be done! Gideon Malik stood in front of the window and shouted an order outside.

clear!

Crossbones immediately winked at his men.

moment!

These heavily armed combatants suddenly raised their weapons without warning and killed all the guards led by Hydra's top leaders without any hesitation or hesitation.

Especially the shooting speed of energy weapons, leaving the opponent no chance to fight back before falling to the ground and turning into mutilated and severely carbonized corpses.

Such a cruel and efficient killing immediately changed the expressions of the Hydra executives present.

Damn! Gideon Malik! What on earth do you want?

Are you trying to kill us all? What's in it for you?

Don't! Don't kill me! I promise I will never dare to do anything against you again!

Please, let my sons and daughters go. They are all innocent and know nothing.

…

For a while, some people begged for mercy, some questioned, and some tried to rush forward and take Gideon Malik hostage.

But unfortunately, Gideon Malik took out a pistol directly from his pocket, aimed at the two old friends who rushed up, and simply pulled the trigger.

boom! boom!

After two gunshots, the two giants who were able to influence European finance and media died in the castle inexplicably.

The dark red blood instantly dyed the carpet red and formed a blood-curdling pool around the body.

I'm really disappointed that you reacted so nervously. You know? I didn't originally intend to kill anyone here. I just hoped that you could make some sacrifices for the great cause of Hydra. Gideon Malik sighed with fake regret.

Of course, this behavior can only be regarded as crocodile tears at best.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that he is deliberately killing people to establish his authority.

Under the threat of being killed at any time, one of them finally couldn't help but ask: What do you want?

It's very simple! I believe you all know that the Malik family has a supreme tradition, which is to use one's own life to sacrifice the god who represents the source of Hydra's power. This move tells us that if we want to gain powerful power, You always need to be prepared to sacrifice, and the same is true for the soul gem. If you want to obtain it, you need to exchange it for the person you care about and protect the most.

Gideon Malik took his time and solved the mystery.

Of course, he would not tell these guys present that when he was drawing lots to decide who would go to the Blood Sacrifice Hive, he was so scared that he finally tampered with the drawing process and made his brother a victim.

In fact, the old man's heart is far from being as strong as he appears on the outside.

Just the opposite!

He is a coward, a coward, a poor man who dare not even face his own fate.

It can be said that among the top leaders of Hydra in the past, Gideon Malik can definitely be regarded as the worst, bar none.

Because he has neither lofty ideals nor the consciousness to sacrifice everything for them. He is just an ordinary person who is greedy for power, strength and wealth.

There is no doubt that only the person who cares most about the sacrifice can be exchanged for the soul gem, which immediately made the Hydra executives present explode.

They may not be afraid of death, but killing their most beloved son or daughter with their own hands is something that not everyone can do.

Otherwise Thanos wouldn't be called the Mad Titan.

After this guy learned that the only way to obtain the Soul Stone, he threw Gamora off the cliff without hesitation, and he still shed tears while throwing it.

But unfortunately, Gideon Malik is clearly not prepared to give these people a choice.

He directly took out a deck of playing cards, briefly shuffled them twice in his hand, and began to force the opponent to draw cards one by one.

Whoever draws the highest card will become the victim and be responsible for sacrificing his son or daughter for Hydra.

Crossbones stood by as if nothing happened, admiring the farce and the horrified looks of the Second Generations of Snakes.

In his opinion, as long as he can get the Soul Stone, it doesn't matter even if he sacrifices more than half of the Hydra executives in Europe.

Anyway, cut off one head and two will grow out.

As long as Hydra's core beliefs are still there, there is no fear that there will be no successor...
