The conference room is tucked away in the deepest part of the base, surrounded by impregnable walls. All entrances were sealed off after the leaders entered, and no one was allowed to enter or exit during the meeting.

The ceiling is hemispherical in shape, topped by a large relief of a nine-headed sea serpent.

The legendary Hydra Hydra is a sea monster that hides in the middle of the ocean and storms, using its thick tentacles to attack ships passing through the sea. The cargo ship was torn apart by its powerful tentacles, and fishermen and sailors were dragged to the bottom of the sea to serve as rations.

Richard was almost the last to enter, and the other leaders were already seated at the conference table.

Sitting at the entrance was none other than Sunil Bakshi, who had just taken over from Dr. Whitehall. The Italian guy was dressed in a crisp suit, his hair was slick and smooth, and he smiled and winked as he walked through the door, looking like a seasoned dog.

Baron Straker did not show up, but no one was surprised.

Baron Straker is no longer on an equal footing with anyone here. He has suffered heavy losses in both military and financial resources, and anyone in his position will choose to lower his head and find a place to hide first.

Defend your own interests? Struggle for power?

It's stupid to think like that.

If the Baron was really stupid enough to show up at this meeting, it was unknown whether he would return alive.

A large Hydra badge pattern is printed on the floor in the middle of the room, with a green Hydra with a total of six tentacles and a head.

However, the few people who came at present are still sitting in the positions corresponding to the tentacles for the time being, and I don't know if everyone is not interested in the position of the boss or is afraid. But Richard was not polite, he glanced around the door and walked straight to the only head and sat down.

He could see one or two of them clearly disagreeing with this, led by Baron Zemo.

"Alright, everyone is here. How about we get straight to the point? ”

The first to speak was Viper, known as the leader of Lady Hydra. This lady is not very powerful in Hydra, but she is sinister and cunning. She is good at using poison and using charm, which is not difficult to see from her cool dress with her shoulders and navel and white legs.

She lacks frontal combat power, but she has a large number of experts who are good at poison and assassination, so no one in Hydra dares to underestimate her.

"Baron Straker has made important contributions to Hydra over the years, and there is no denying that he has done a lot of work." A German said, "We will not forget his efforts and his persistence, and no one has ever been so determined to ...... "

"I have a better idea, how about we cut out this nonsense?" Gideon Malik, who was standing next to Richard, said, "Straker is a loser, we don't need to waste too much time on him. Survival of the fittest, we all know this rule. ”

Everyone was silent for a while.

This is indeed a fact, and the rules of Hydra are just that. Whoever is eliminated immediately becomes a stepping stone for everyone else, and there is no point in caring for comradeship or anything like that.

The corners of the viper's mouth hooked, and he smiled charmingly: "What the old gentleman said is right. Indeed, we all know why we are here today, so let's be a little more clear. Straker is finished, but someone has to take over the territory and things he left behind. That's why we're here to talk about this. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Richard sat down in his place and folded his arms, and said in a calm but unquestioning voice, "Really? It seems to me that there is nothing to discuss. ”

Everyone's eyes brushed over to him.

Old man Malik finally ushered in the moment he had always dreamed of, and his whole person seemed to be several years younger. He took a big step and said with a sense of neutrality, "That's right, there's nothing to discuss. Maybe everyone here has forgotten, so let me help you remember a little bit, the original intention of our Hydra!

The Hydra was fundamentally different from the present, because the Red Skull took control of it and changed our purpose without permission. But the truth is that all along, we have had only one purpose – to welcome the return of our only King and to lead us to unprecedented heights. ”

Everyone's hearts are tight.

Here it comes.

They have been waiting for this day since the appearance of the so-called "God of Hydra", and they know that it will come sooner or later. There is no reason for this "Hydra God" to be satisfied with just being one of several bosses, that guy will definitely want to dominate.

And now is the best time to do it.

Baron Zemo glanced at him and said coldly: "History is constantly evolving, human civilization is constantly advancing, and so is Hydra. Maybe that's what Hydra was all about, but that's in the past. You're not trying to set us back thousands of years, are you? ”

"If it had been a few years ago, what I said might not have been convincing." Malik insisted, "But this is not the past now, this is where we Hydra are...... and the future. Our gods have returned and are ready to lead us. All we need to do is accept leadership. ”

"Ridiculous! This is not at all in accordance with the rules! ”

"Shut up, the old gentleman is right, Hydra exists for this purpose!"

"I think we should take the instructions of the gods!"

The conflict broke out instantly, and the leaders present quickly stood in line, and there was a quarrel at the conference table.

"Enough!" Baron Zemo snapped the case and snorted, "I thought that anyone sitting at this table would at least be able to keep their senses, but it seems that this is my luxury. Then I don't think we have much to talk about. ”

Perhaps a hint was given, Baron Zemo said, and a door to the conference room was kicked open from the outside. A group of soldiers in German uniforms broke through the door and formed in full armor.

But the other bosses aren't fuel-efficient lamps either. Several other doors were blasted open, ninjas jumped out of the shadows of the beams, and agents popped out of the ventilation ducts.

In an instant, the style of the entire conference room changed suddenly, and the hydra warriors confronted each other with loaded guns, and everyone's head at the table was pointed at at least a dozen barrels, and it was possible to explode at any time.

The smell of gunpowder filled the air, and the scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

Richard calmly glanced at everyone present, ignored the guns pointing at his head from all directions, and slowly stood up.

"Okay, everyone's here to talk, let's calm down a little."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and made a "up" gesture with a blank face.

In an instant, in the amazed gaze of everyone in the audience, the weapons in the hands of each Hydra warrior came out of their hands and flew into the air uncontrollably, as if they had been jerked out by an invisible hand.

Finally, he snapped his fingers, and the swords and guns in the sky were shrouded in blue light, and they disintegrated into countless blue particles in front of everyone's eyes, falling like raindrops.

"Look at us. American lawmakers, business magnates, bigwigs who hold the lifeblood of the world in their hands. He added lightly, "Everyone is a civilized person, why do you need a gun to speak clearly?" Let's put away these dangerous things, talk well, be reasonable, what do you think? ”
