As a person who has been in society for decades, has seen all kinds of big scenes, and has achieved quite a lot, Gideon does not generally dislike this feeling.
Although Russell is quite polite now, at least he does not show his unreasonable force when he comes up, but in fact, Russell does not give him any room for negotiation or choice at all.
More importantly, Russell actually knew about Nathan.
This is something even his daughter Stephanie doesn't know.
Gideon did not answer Russell immediately, his brain was running wildly, trying to think of a plan that would be most beneficial to him.
Gideon's contemplation made Stephanie, who had been suspicious just now, frown again.
She couldn't understand why Gideon really began to consider giving the black boulder to Russell after Russell just threatened him casually, intending to give up the tradition and persistence that had been passed down by his family for thousands of years.
Although she was very dissatisfied, Stephanie knew very well that no matter whether she was satisfied or not, the person who had the final say now was Gideon.
Time passes little by little.
Russell did not rush Gideon and gave him ample time to think.
He wasn't worried that Gideon would choose to fight to the death.
The reason is simple, because Gideon has never been a sacrificial person.
In order to avoid his own sacrifice, he even deceived his only brother Nathan.
Gideon's contemplation made the atmosphere in the reception room become somewhat depressing once again.
After a few minutes like this, Gideon finally made a decision and looked at Russell with a complicated expression.
Then, he slowly said: "If the black boulder is handed over to you, how sure are you of killing the hive?"
After hearing Gideon's words, Stephanie's face suddenly darkened.
"As long as the black boulder is in my hands, the hive will definitely die!"
Russell said with confidence.
The hive itself is a collection of special parasites.
If it were in the past, even if he could completely kill the hive, it would still take a lot of effort.
For example, he must ensure that only he and the hive are present during the battle, and arrange the battlefield in a place where the hive can be completely killed, such as a vacuum environment or outer space, etc.
But now, he is no longer the one who only had physical attacks.
The hive of the body's parasite collection is indeed troublesome, but for him who has mastered magic and has the space gem, it is not difficult to deal with it.
As long as the hive dares to appear, he is absolutely sure to kill the hive.
"I can give you the black boulder, but I want to know how you are going to protect us after you get the black boulder?"
"I received news that the reason why SHIELD is arresting us with great fanfare is because you provided a list to SHIELD."
Gideon looked at Russell warily, as if he wanted to see something from his microexpression.
"Yes, I did give SHIELD a list. Now you will be chased crazily by SHIELD. It has nothing to do with me."
"However, that doesn't mean SHIELD and I are on the same side."
"To tell you the truth, I killed Pierce and Whitehall. I also arranged Bakshi's previous actions."
"Although I don't like you very much, I don't want to see the historic Hydra disappear like this, so I plan to replace the hive and become the only owner of Hydra."
"Since I want to be the new master of Hydra, of course I have to leave some subordinates for myself."
"If you are also willing to show your loyalty, I can give you the same status as Bakshi."
At this time, Russell no longer intends to hide it.
While there was no way he was going to get HYDRA involved with Zheng Lian, he didn't mind letting Gideon know it.
Gideon originally thought that Russell just wanted to get some benefits from Hydra, such as the Death Star and some resources on Earth.
But he never imagined that what Russell wanted was to become the sole master of Hydra.
This is no longer a question of ambition, but a crazy idea.
Isn't he afraid that the news will leak out and he will change from a superhero who is admired by others to a terrorist who everyone calls for beating?
Not only Gideon and Stephanie were frightened by Russell's idea, but Skye, who was sitting next to Russell, also showed an incredible expression.
Russell ignored the shocked expressions on the faces of Gideon, Skye and others.
Since he dared to say this in public, of course he had made all preparations.
"Now I know why you were called the 'Crazy Traveler' when you first became famous in the New York underground world!"
"The Black Monolith is in Germany now. When do you want to receive it?"
Gideon finally relented.
Russell was not surprised by his choice.
From the moment he came to the door, Gideon had no choice.
Of course, he can also choose to take a gamble.
To be precise, it was a gamble.
First, he bet that he can escape from Russell today, and then he bet that Hive is a person who knows how to repay his kindness.
But unfortunately, even if he chooses to gamble, his chance of winning is not high.
Plus, until now, he hasn't figured out how to bring the hive back to Earth.
Otherwise, when SHIELD made a big fanfare to arrest them, he would have chosen to bring the hive back early instead of hiding around like now.
"Send the black boulder to the ancient castle in southwest England, you know which one I'm talking about."
Russell said calmly.
To use the Kree monolith to open a space passage to the Death Star, you only need to resonate with the Kree monolith at a specific frequency.
Although other places could be used, Russell did not want to continue to waste time studying the resonance frequency of the Kree monolith, so he planned to open the space passage to the Death Star directly in Hydra's castle.
If he didn't know the specific location of the Death Star, he wouldn't need the Kree Stone at all, he could just use portal magic or space gems to get there.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send it there immediately!"
As soon as Gideon finished speaking, the alien Jiera standing behind him took out his cell phone from his jacket pocket and handed it to Gideon.
After taking the mobile phone, Gideon did not hesitate and immediately dialed a number and arranged for his men to deliver the Kerry monolith to an ancient castle in southwest England.
When Gideon hung up the phone, Russell said slowly: "It will take some time for the boulder to pass. Before that, you two go to a place with me."
Although Gideon appears to be quite reliable now, Russell will not trust him so easily.
"Where to go?"
Gideon asked, frowning.
"I still can't trust you, so I plan to brainwash you."
"Don't worry, this brainwashing technology was developed by Hydra yourself. It's very reliable."
After saying that, Russell cast the portal magic in front of them.
When the glittering portal took shape, the brainwashing room that had not been used for some time appeared on the other side of the portal.
"You two, please!"
Russell made an inviting gesture to Gideon and Stephanie.
After taking a look at the scene behind the portal, Gideon and Stephanie stood up and walked towards the portal.
After seeing Gideon and Stephanie getting up, Skye also planned to get up and enter the portal.
However, before she could get up, Russell stopped her and said to her: "Although you have not completed Perkins training yet, I can tell you your mother's name first."
"Your mother's name is Jia Ying. She is a strange person. Jiela also knows her."
After speaking, Russell pointed at Jiera.
Jiela, who had always been expressionless, frowned involuntarily when she heard Russell say Jia Ying's name.
How does he know Jia Ying, and also knows that I know Jia Ying?
Questions flashed through Jiela's mind.
However, he did not ask Russell about his plans, but looked at Skye who was sitting next to Russell in confusion.
Jia Ying’s daughter?
Jiera looked at Skye curiously.
At this time, Skye did not notice Jiela's inspection, but looked at Russell with a shocked face.
She didn't expect that Russell would tell her Jia Ying's name at this time.
"Jia Ying..."
Skye's mood is a bit complicated now, she is both excited and confused.
"If you have any questions, you can ask Jiela first."
After saying that, Russell stood up and walked towards the portal.
When passing by Jiela, he said to Jiela: "Don't tell Skye your location in the afterlife."
Although Jiela is not his subordinate, Russell is not worried that Jiela will be disobedient.
As long as Gideon is still in his hands, Jiela can only obey his arrangements.
Jiela didn't speak and nodded silently.
After seeing Jiela's actions, Russell calmly walked into the portal and arrived at the brainwashing room at the Zhenglian headquarters.
He would know that Jiela knew Jia Ying, it was just a guess.
And it turned out that he was right.
The aliens on Earth have not yet appeared as in the original plot, and the Terrigen Crystal, the key item for awakening the aliens' superpowers, is only available in the afterlife.
He just used magic to sense Jiela and found that Jiela had awakened her superpower early in the morning.
This also means that Jiela has passed the review of the afterlife and awakened her superpower in the afterlife.
Since Jiela has gone to the afterlife, he must have met Jia Ying, and maybe Jia Ying is Jiela's mentor.
After Russell and Gideon left the reception room, Skye set his sights on Giella, who was wearing a black suit.
After a few seconds of silence, Skye began to ask Jiela about Jia Ying.
Russell didn't know exactly what questions Skye would ask Giera.
However, as long as Jiera didn't tell Skye her specific location in the afterlife, he didn't need to worry about Skye running away suddenly.
According to his previous plan, he would tell Skye Jia Ying's name later.
But after seeing Jiela, he changed his mind.
The most important thing is that he originally planned to bring Skye over to experience real combat, but unexpectedly, Gideon succumbed faster than he imagined.
Although he thought about Gideon's submission, he didn't expect that Gideon chose to submit without even trying to resist.
This also caused Skye to lose the opportunity to experience actual combat.
After returning to the brainwashing room at Zhenglian headquarters, Russell wasted no time and immediately ordered No. 3 to start brainwashing Stephanie.
Instead of letting Gideon be brainwashed first, he planned to let Gideon witness the brainwashing process of his only daughter, Stephanie.
After receiving his instructions, No. 3 immediately controlled the equipment in the room and began brainwashing Stephanie.
Seeing Stephanie, who was restrained in the seat, showing a painful expression due to the electric shock to her brain, Gideon clenched his fists involuntarily.
"You are not a good brother, and you are not a qualified father either!"
"If you really thought about Stephanie, you shouldn't have let her step into Hydra's circle in the first place."
"Strucker did a much better job than you in this regard. He didn't drag his only son into Hydra."
Russell said calmly.
Gideon did not refute and looked at Stephanie who was undergoing brainwashing without saying a word.
"The brainwashing won't end so soon. Just stay here with Stephanie!"
After speaking, Russell used the portal magic again.
Then, without looking back, he walked into the portal and came to Diana's study.
After briefly telling Diana his plan, Russell took back the space stone from Diana.
"Don't be too careless and be safe!"
Just as Russell was about to cast the portal magic and leave the study, Diana's voice sounded behind him.
"As you command, Your Majesty the Queen!"
Russell turned to look at Diana and said seriously.
Gideon's estate.
After returning to the reception room, Russell saw Skye who looked a little lonely.
Skye sat on the sofa with a depressed expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What did you just say to him?"
Russell asked Jiela.
"Nothing, just talking about Jia Ying."
Jiela quickly replied.
"You didn't reveal your location in the afterlife, did you?"
"No!"
After hearing Jiela's answer, Russell sat down on the sofa opposite Skye and said to Skye: "Don't think too much, Jia Ying didn't come to you, it's not that she doesn't want to come to you, it's that she doesn't." Know that you are alive.”
"After this incident is over, I will take you to see Jia Ying."
If it were before, Skye would be very happy to hear Russell's words.
But now, she had different ideas.
"Let's talk about it later, I'm not ready to meet her yet."
Skye said silently.
"good!"
While waiting for Gideon and Stephanie's brainwashing to end, Russell had no consciousness of being a "guest" and ordered the servants in the manor to prepare afternoon tea with a natural expression.
Judging from the past speed of brainwashing, Gideon and Stephanie's brainwashing will not end until at least night.
In addition, the Kerry monolith needs to be smuggled from Germany to an ancient castle in southwest England. He will definitely not be able to go back to the Zhenglian headquarters to sleep today.
But it doesn't matter. When he and Diana took the space gem, he had already reported it to Diana in advance.
