Looking at the bank cards in front of them, Wanda and Pietro were both stunned.
They didn't expect that Russell would actually suggest that they go shopping.
this……
Although Baron Strucker had not treated the two of them badly before, since they voluntarily became Baron Strucker's experimental subjects, they had never left Baron Strucker's castle.
"are you serious?"
Pietro asked in disbelief.
"Any questions?"
"After all, this is your first time in New York. Don't you want to go out for a walk?"
Russell asked calmly.
Although this was only the second day of contact between him and Wanda, he had already thought about how to enhance Wanda and Pietro's trust in him.
To put it simply, it is to use the decadent and decadent capitalist life in the United States to corrupt them.
This isn't the first time he's done something like this.
He had used this trick once when he first attracted Peter to the detective agency as an intern.
Although Wanda and Pietro are not Peter and are slightly older than Peter, it is easier to seduce them with money and rich material life than to seduce Peter.
Peter was poor, but Peter had grown up in the United States and was no stranger to the material life in the United States.
It’s just that I haven’t experienced the life of a rich person.
Wanda and Pietro are different.
While Sokovia is not a particularly poor country, it is certainly not rich either.
Especially for orphans like Wanda and Pietro, who have lost their parents since childhood, their daily lives are not beautiful at all.
This means that tempting them with money and rich material life will definitely not be any worse.
After hearing Russell's answer, Pietro did not immediately pick up the bank card on the desk, but exchanged glances with Wanda.
Then, he picked up the two bank cards on the table and handed one of them to Wanda.
"Are you sure there is enough money for me and Wanda?"
Pietro asked provocatively.
"As long as you're not trying to buy the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty."
Russell said with a smile.
"How much money is in it?"
Pietro continued to ask.
"It's not a lot. The two of them add up to a total of 100 million US dollars."
Russell said lightly.
One hundred million dollars?
After hearing this amount, Wanda and Pietro couldn't help but widen their eyes.
They are not playboys like Tony who grew up with silver spoons in their mouths. For them, $100 million is a number that can only appear in their imaginations.
"Don't look at me like that. If you feel sorry for me, just think of this money as your salary for joining Zhenglian."
Russell said quickly when he saw Wanda raising her right hand holding the bank card and trying to put the bank card back on the table.
"He's right, we don't need to be polite to him, we deserve it!"
Pietro stopped Wanda from returning the bank card to Russell.
After stopping Wanda, Pietro said to Russell: "Since you are so enthusiastic, we can't be too disrespectful to you."
"However, the Zhenglian headquarters is a bit far from the city. Are you planning to let me use my superpower to get there?"
"Except for the old black Porsche, you can use all the cars in the garage."
Russell said calmly.
"Why not the old black Porsche?"
Pietro continued to ask.
"Because only Diana and I can sit in that car. If you don't want to be chased by Diana with a sword, I advise you not to have any inappropriate thoughts!"
After hearing Russell's words, Pietro decisively gave up the idea of driving the old Porsche.
Although he didn't know about Diana before, after reading relevant reports about the Battle of New York, he knew that Diana was not only Russell's live-in girlfriend, but also a superpower who was no weaker than Russell.
In fact, when he saw Diana in the Zhenglian living room yesterday, he felt an unspeakable pressure, and the image of himself in school facing a strict female teacher flashed through his mind involuntarily.
In his opinion, Diana was the extremely strict female teacher.
"Okay, don't waste time, go experience the beauty of New York!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Russell opened the portal to the garage, raised his right hand and gestured towards Wanda and Pietro.
After seeing what he did, Pietro stood up first.
Then, he picked up Wanda, who was still a little confused, and walked into the portal without looking back.
When they crossed the portal and went to the garage, Russell closed the portal immediately and said to No. 3: "Watch the two of them and arrange for a few White Jue warriors to follow them. Don't let some guys with no eyesight. It disturbs their mood."
"Okay, sir!"
No. 3 answered immediately.
Russell is not worried about Wanda and Pietro's lives, nor is he worried about them provoking the New York police.
He was just worried that the gangsters and gangsters in New York would have some inappropriate thoughts after seeing Wanda and the two of them.
Although those gangsters and ruffians are unlikely to pose any threat to the two of them, they will somewhat affect their interest.
Russell didn't want his plan to seduce Wanda and Wanda to die before it even started.
After giving orders to No. 3, Russell temporarily put the matter of Wanda and Pietro behind and thought about the other Hydra.
The matter of the Hydra branch has now been sorted out.
Although the Hydra branch hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D. has not reached its end yet, Russell does not mind dealing with the orthodox Hydra led by Gideon Malick in advance.
After browsing the information submitted by Bakshi and the information collected by No. 3 during this period, he quickly made a decision.
"No. 3, contact Gideon Malik directly in my name and tell him that I want to meet with him to talk about the hive!"
Russell said calmly.
"Okay, sir!"
No. 3's voice immediately sounded in the study.
Although Gideon Malik didn't have any high-level combat power, not even a few superpowers, Russell still planned to be polite first and then attack.
Unlike Baron Strucker, Gideon Malik's pursuit of an orthodox Hydra is much simpler.
They had no idea of conquering Earth, or they wouldn't have it until they got the hive back from the Death Star.
In addition, Gideon Malik's public identity is much higher than that of Baron Strucker and others.
Except for Pierce, who has died, Gideon Malik is the one with the highest status in human society in Hydra.
Gideon Malik is not only a billionaire and capitalist, but he is also a former member of the World Security Council who oversaw Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although he is no longer a member of the Security Council, he still has an extremely large network of interpersonal relationships.
However, for Russell, who has never followed the rules, Gideon Malik's huge network and wealth are of little use.
After asking No. 3 to contact Gideon Malik, Russell left the study and walked towards the training room where Skye usually trained.
He is about to deal with Gideon Malik, an orthodox Hydra, which means that he is about to deal with the Hive, known as the first Inhuman in history.
Now that we have to deal with the alien Hive, we might try activating the reward from Skye.
Then again, Russell hasn't gotten a new bonus since he merged the two bonuses of Kryptonian Blood and Wonder Woman's Blessing into the evolutionary bonus Wonder Superman.
All in all, it has been a long time.
After arriving at the indoor training room, Russell saw Skye being "beaten" by Perkins.
Although Skye has worked very hard to learn fighting, due to time constraints, she is still no match for Perkins.
Unlike yesterday, this time after arriving in the training room, Russell did not sit down on the chair next to the ring, but went straight to the ring.
"Pause for a minute, I have something to tell Skye."
After hearing Russell's voice, Perkins, who was "beating" Skye, stopped immediately.
After nodding towards Russell, the iceberg-like beauty Perkins left the ring.
Skye did not leave the ring like Perkins, but just like yesterday, he took off his headgear and gloves, sat on the ring, and looked at Russell suspiciously.
"You come down too."
After seeing that Skye showed no sign of getting up or coming down, Russell said again.
"oh."
Skye replied silently.
Then, he walked out of the ring with the headgear and gloves taken off.
Seeing Skye's delicate fair face stained with a lot of sweat, Russell frowned slightly.
Although he has many subordinates now, in terms of strength, Skye is undoubtedly the worst one.
Before awakening the shockwave superpower and completing Perkins' combat guidance, Skye was an ordinary woman with little ability to protect herself.
It seems it’s time to move Skye’s awakening of superpowers up the agenda!
Russell made a decision silently in his heart.
"What do you want from me?"
After coming down from the ring, Skye asked directly without any hesitation.
"I have something to take care of next. If you don't have anything else to do, I want you to come with me."
Russell said slowly.
"whats the matter?"
Skye asked again with a confused look on her face.
Although she is now a member of Zhenglian, Skye knows very well that she is just an ordinary person now.
Let alone dealing with any crisis incidents, she couldn't handle even ordinary external operations.
"I'm just going to meet some people, you don't need to do anything."
"In addition, I will let the White Zetsu symbiote temporarily possess you to ensure your safety."
Russell said calmly.
Although Gideon Malik doesn't have any high-level combat power, who knows if this guy will suddenly have the crazy idea of dying together.
"What is the White Zetsu symbiote?"
After hearing Skye's words, Russell remembered that he had never introduced the White Zetsu warrior to Skye.
"The White Zetsu symbiote is an alien creature. You should have seen the White Zetsu warriors in the Battle of New York. They were special forces members possessed by the White Zetsu symbiote. Perkins also has the White Zetsu symbiote in his body." Possessed.”
After hearing Russell's words, Skye first showed his original expression.
Then, he frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't want to be possessed by the White Jue symbiote, it's too ugly!"
Forehead……
Russell didn't expect that Skye would choose to refuse for this reason.
"Just being possessed by the White Zetsu symbiote will not turn into that monster. Only after entering the White Zetsu form will it become like that."
Russell explained.
However, Skye still chose to refuse and shook his head fiercely.
After seeing Skye's current actions, Russell sighed helplessly.
"Since you don't want to, then stop possessing me!"
Without Bai Jue's possession, Skye might indeed encounter some unnecessary accidents.
But this is not a big problem for Russell.
Even if Skye is really injured, he can use the healing power of the King's Serum to heal Skye.
More importantly, under his nose, the possibility of Skye encountering an accident was not high.
"Then when do we set off?"
Although Skye didn't know what Russell was going to take her to, she was quite curious about the next action.
"I can't decide yet. I will let you know when the time is determined."
Russell is still unsure when to set off.
Although I sent a message to Gideon Malik on the 3rd, Gideon Malik has not yet given a reply.
"oh!"
Skye replied silently.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, just continue training!"
After saying that, Russell left the training room and walked towards the room with the levitating cloak.
He thought Gideon Malik would give a reply soon, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.
Until noon, no reply was received from Gideon Malik on the 3rd.
Not only that, when No. 3 contacted Gideon Malik for the second time, No. 3 suddenly discovered that the contact information Gideon Malik was still using in the morning had now been discarded.
After hearing No. 3's report, Russell, who was playing a game with the levitating cloak, put down the game controller and frowned.
Judging from Gideon Malik's action of directly discarding his contact information, it was obvious that he had misunderstood something.
"Use all channels to dig out Gideon Malik."
"If necessary, hack into SHIELD's database to find Gideon Malick's possible hiding place."
"Okay, sir!"
After giving orders to No. 3, Russell no longer had the mood to continue playing games, so he left the room with the levitating cloak and returned to his study.
After returning to the study, he thought for a few seconds.
Then, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Natasha's number.
