Although Skye's current performance is very different from before, Russell can understand Skye's current mood.
This is a feeling similar to the timidity of being close to home.
Although Russell didn't know when Skye started to explore his life experience, he was sure of one thing, that was that this time must not be short.
After spending a lot of energy and an unknown amount of time, I still couldn't find out my life experience.
However, now, in a completely unexpected situation, he easily learned his mother's name.
When Skye first found out that her mother was Jia Ying, she might have felt uncontrollable excitement.
But after most of the day's "cooling down", the excitement and excitement had long since disappeared, replaced by nervousness and confusion.
Although the contrast is somewhat large, it is not difficult to understand.
"I can understand your feelings, but you will have to face this matter sooner or later. You can't just not see her all the time, can you?"
Russell got up and went to the wine cabinet, picked out a fairly good bottle of whiskey, and poured a glass for himself and Skye.
"I know I can't escape forever. I have fantasized about meeting them again in my mind countless times, and I have also fantasized about living together after finding them, but I really don't know what to do now?"
Skye said with a confused look on his face.
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank the whiskey in it.
"There is an old saying among flower growers, which is 'it will be straight when it reaches the bridge'. Since you haven't figured out how to do it, just let nature take its course."
Russell picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said slowly.
He couldn't give good advice to the complicated family relationship between Skye and Jia Ying.
All he could do was provide Skye with a chance to meet.
As for how to do it, it can only be decided by Skye herself.
"Um!"
Skye raised her head, looked at Russell, and nodded silently.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, go back and rest first!"
When Skye left the study, Russell tasted the whiskey in the glass while thinking about a plan to activate Skye's superpowers.
Although Skye hasn't figured out how to face Jia Ying yet, if he remembers correctly, in the original plot, Skye also awakened her superpowers before being taken to the afterlife by Gordon.
As long as he can get his hands on the obelisk, he can use the Terrigen crystal inside to activate Skye's superpowers.
It doesn't matter whether or not Skye should be taken to the secret city left by the Kree.
The secret city left by the Kree was mainly used to open the obelisk.
Knowing that there is a Terrigen crystal inside the obelisk, Russell has many ways to open the obelisk.
If he remembered correctly, the obelisk was still in the hands of SHIELD and had not been taken away by the American government.
The obelisk was taken away by the American government after Hydra launched an attack on the Triskelion Wing of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
In this world, this plot is obviously unlikely to happen.
Pierce was killed in advance by Russell, and SHIELD also obtained the Hydra list he provided.
As far as Russell knows, the current SHIELD has no other helicarriers except the one that uses turbines.
As for the so-called Insight Project, there is not even a shadow of it now.
After thinking for a moment, Russell sighed helplessly.
Although he knew that the obelisk was now in the hands of SHIELD, he didn't know where the obelisk was hidden by SHIELD.
After losing Natasha, the Black Widow, as an informant, he could not secretly obtain SHIELD's confidential documents like before.
never mind!
forget about it!
Anyway, Skye is not ready to awaken her super powers yet, so there is no need to rush to get the obelisk.
After making his decision, Russell drank the whiskey in his glass, then stood up and left the study.
After taking a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom of the master bedroom, he walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel and went straight to the bed that had been replaced with a new mattress.
Not long after he climbed into bed, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Russell frowned slightly.
The bedroom door opened and Stephanie, wearing a black silk nightgown, walked in.
Just look at Stephanie's current outfit and you'll know what she's up to.
Before she could speak, Russell took the lead and said: "Go out, I plan to sleep alone tonight!"
In terms of appearance, Stephanie is not bad, and she also has a good temperament.
But unfortunately, Russell has no idea of playing Ludo tonight.
Especially the idea of playing Ludo with Stephanie.
He will arrange for No. 3 to brainwash Stephanie, mostly to use Stephanie to balance Gideon.
Otherwise, with Stephanie's ability, she is far from being brainwashed.
Stephanie didn't expect that Russell would reject her without thinking even though she was so proactive.
this……
Is my charm not high enough?
Or am I not wearing sexy enough now?
Stephanie couldn't help frowning, and a trace of displeasure appeared on her delicate and fair face.
However, this hint of displeasure quickly disappeared.
She didn't dare to lose her temper with Russell.
After calming down, Stephanie, who was wearing a black nightgown and showing her long white legs, said respectfully: "Okay, sir."
Then, he left the bedroom with his seductive waist swaying.
When Stephanie left the bedroom, Russell closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
the next day.
Russell, who had not tried to sleep alone for a long time, slowly opened his eyes.
Although he didn't do any pre-sleep exercise yesterday, he still enjoyed a good night last night and even experienced the long-lost feeling of relaxation.
It's just easier on a night when you don't have to hand in homework.
After washing up, Russell took out a set of clean clothes from the system space, put them on, and came to the restaurant on the first floor in a happy mood.
Although it is still very early, only a little after eight o'clock, the manor's chef has prepared a pure English breakfast early in the morning.
As soon as Russell arrived at the restaurant, he saw Skye enjoying breakfast.
Today, Skye is still wearing Zhenglian's black combat uniform.
Although the manor's servants provided her with clean clothes, Skye ultimately chose to wear a combat uniform.
This is not because the clothes prepared by the servant are not good, but because the clothes sent by the servant do not conform to her dressing habits at all.
The clothes sent by the servant are women's suits that look like office ladies' clothes.
Although this women's suit is expensive, Skye has never worn such formal clothing since she was a child.
Compared with suits, she still prefers more casual clothes, such as leather jackets and jeans.
After seeing Russell, Skye, who was eating fried toast, said to him: "Good morning."
"morning."
Russell replied and sat down opposite Skye.
As soon as he sat down, the maid in the restaurant brought the prepared breakfast to him.
Toast, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, sausages, baked beans…
After looking at the breakfast in front of him, Russell couldn't help but flash in his mind the breakfast that Diana usually prepared.
Judging from the variety, this is exactly what Diana usually prepares for breakfast.
wrong!
Strictly speaking, this is a standard English breakfast.
Although the breakfast in front of him could not be compared with the breakfast at the flower garden, Russell, who had been eating this simple breakfast for several years, did not pay much attention to this.
The UK is known as a "food desert", so it would be great to have such a breakfast.
Russell originally planned to finish some finishing work after breakfast, such as turning some of the assets of Gideon and other Hydra executives into his own private property.
Just as he was tasting the pure English breakfast in front of him, he received a spiritual connection request from the White Zetsu warrior.
These White Jue warriors received his temporary orders last night. After running around all night, they finally arrived in Great Britain from the United States.
If you just come to Great Britain from the United States, it doesn't actually take that long.
But when heading to Great Britain, these White Zetsu warriors stopped in the Atlantic Ocean and picked up the second-generation symbiote that had just been split off by Grendel.
Russell agreed to the request for spiritual connection from the White Jue warriors and gave them new orders.
It is said to be a new order, but it is actually some supplement to last night's order.
For example, where are these White Jue warriors going to find those Hydra executives?
When the order was issued last night, Russell was not very clear about the location of these Hydra executives in Great Britain.
After reading the memories in Stephanie's mind, he figured out the location of these Hydra executives' base in Great Britain.
After giving the new orders to the White Jue warriors, Russell looked up and glanced at Skye, who was still enjoying her breakfast.
Soon, he had a new plan.
"You come back to New York later. I will arrange for some White Jue warriors to be given to you. You can stay in Europe to experience actual combat."
After hearing Russell's words, Skye, who was eating toast, was stunned for a moment.
So casual?
After seeing the puzzled expression on Skye's face, Russell continued: "I originally planned to let you experience what actual combat feels like yesterday. Unfortunately, Gideon did not give you such an opportunity."
"Anyway, you don't have anything else to do now, so I plan to let the Bai Jue warriors take you to participate in actual combat operations."
Although he didn't know why Russell made such a temporary decision, Skye did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
After breakfast, Russell called Gideon and Stephanie to the study and began to deal with a series of finishing tasks such as property transfer.
Over the course of the morning, his already amazing assets became even more amazing.
After taking a look at the deposits in various bank accounts, Russell showed a satisfied smile.
afternoon.
Two White Jue warriors who were supposed to serve as "bodyguards" for Hydra's top leaders came to the manor.
After a few simple instructions, Russell handed over the task of protecting Skye's life to these two White Zetsu warriors.
Although Skye had no actual combat experience, this was not a problem at all.
The two Bai Jue warriors responsible for protecting her life have extremely rich combat experience.
Infiltration, assassination, hostage rescue, frontal attack...
These Bai Jue warriors, without exception, all received strict military training before being possessed by Bai Jue.
Otherwise, Russell would not have let Bai Jue possess them, giving them power far beyond that of ordinary people.
The actual combat mission assigned to Skye by Russell was simple.
Destroy all the forces of the Hydra senior officials who were killed by him yesterday.
Not only Skye and the two White Zetsu warriors who protect her are participating in this mission, but Gideon and other Hydra executives will also send personnel to participate in the operation.
After wiping out all the forces at the top of Hydra, we can almost "divide the spoils" and re-divide the interests.
After explaining Skye, Russell, who had already finished the finishing work, was not interested in staying at Gideon's manor anymore and opened the portal back to the Zhenglian headquarters.
Before entering the portal, he turned to Skye and said, "This is your first actual battle. Don't screw up, and don't force yourself. If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, remember to ask for help from the headquarters."
"Ok, I know!"
Skye replied with a nod.
After giving instructions to Skye, Russell turned around and walked towards the portal.
After returning to the Zhenglian headquarters under the watchful eyes of Skye and others, he closed the portal and walked towards Diana's study.
…………
One month later.
The entertainment hall of Zhenglian Headquarters.
The table tennis table placed in the corner kept making the sound of hitting balls.
However, the strange thing is that neither the players, nor the rackets and table tennis balls seem to exist in the eyes of ordinary people.
The people playing now are none other than Russell and Pietro.
To be precise, Russell and Pietro at top speed.
Their speed at this time has exceeded the limit that the human eye can capture, so there was this weird scene.
During this month, Russell continued his "degenerate" life as a hands-off shopkeeper as always.
After giving up the position of head of Zhenglian to Diana, the number of things he needed to deal with decreased sharply.
Except for going to the Octopus Monster headquarters building from time to time to perform his duties as chairman, his current life is almost like an unemployed vagrant with "nothing to do".
Of course, this is only on the surface.
As a time traveler with "lofty" ideals, there is no way Russell would choose to lie down at this time.
In the past month, he has never stopped improving his strength.
For example, he insists on basking in the sun and learning magic knowledge every day, and at the same time, he does not forget to discuss combat skills with Diana.
In addition, he also did not forget to guide Hulk and Pietro.
There's not much to say about Hulk, it's still the same, the only difference is how long Hulk can go without getting beaten and how hard he can get beaten.
As for Pietro, No. 3 was originally responsible for guiding him to further develop and enhance his superpowers.
But after things ended with the Hive and Orthodox Hydra, Russell took over the job of directing Pietro.
In addition to Pietro, he is also responsible for the development and improvement of Wanda's current super powers.
But, it's different from Pietro.
Wanda, who has already participated in the filming of Kara's personal movie, usually spends less time at Zhenglian headquarters, so Russell has not yet started to guide Wanda.
After a ping pong duel between speedsters with Pietro, Russell ended today's instruction and walked towards his study.
After returning to the study, he asked No. 3 to project Skye's action report for this month.
Although it was his temporary decision to let Skye participate in the operation to eliminate those high-level Hydra forces, it must be said that this actually allowed him to find the most suitable learning method for Skye.
In the past month, Skye not only completed the set tasks, but also started new tasks.
For example, he led a team of White Zetsu warriors to capture members of Pierce's Hydra branch all over the world.
Now, it's not just Skye who is arresting these Hydra members all over the world, but also S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, Skye's purpose, or Russell's purpose, is completely different from SHIELD.
SHIELD's purpose is to completely eliminate this branch of Hydra, while Russell's purpose is to capture the members of this branch and then take them into his hands.
Like the orthodox Hydra, he will not take everyone in this branch as his subordinates.
But he will never let go of the more important ones, such as Grant Ward and Agent 33 who were supposed to be the hive host.
Although Russell has now become the master of the orthodox Hydra and the Bakshi branch of Hydra, he has not yet completely reorganized the idea of Hydra.
Only after the branch of Hydra that originally belonged to Pierce was taken under his command, he would officially reorganize Hydra, allowing Hydra, which was originally an evil organization, to change its appearance in his hands, start over, and become bigger and stronger.
After reading Skye's action report this month, Russell used the power of the King's Serum and established a spiritual connection with Grendel who was far away in the Atlantic Ocean.
Now Grendel is almost inseparable from Godzilla.
Godzilla stayed idle all day long in the undersea temple, enjoying the enhanced nuclear radiation. Grendel also imitated Godzilla and lived a peaceful life in the undersea temple.
Although the Imperial Organization led by Dr. Serizawa established a new base in the sea near the Undersea Temple.
But neither Godzilla nor Grendel bothered to pay attention to Dr. Serizawa and others.
Unless Russell specifically asked them to cooperate with Dr. Serizawa and others to conduct scientific observations, otherwise, they would not cooperate with the observations of Dr. Serizawa and others.
Although Dr. Serizawa and others are unlikely to pose a threat to them, in the eyes of Godzilla and Grendel, Dr. Serizawa and others are now monitoring their daily lives.
If Dr. Serizawa and others had not been relatively restrained and knew not to disturb the "cohabitation" life of the two of them, the Imperial Organization's base would not have been established at all.
After establishing a spiritual connection with Grendel, Russell asked about their recent lives.
For example, did Godzilla sense the appearance of other Titans?
After confirming that no new Titans had awakened recently, Russell released the spiritual connection with Grendel.
Godzilla did not sense the awakening of the new Titan, and there was no news about other Titans in the data shared by the Imperial Organization.
Based on this, Russell didn't need to worry about Ghidorah suddenly waking up in the Antarctic.
However, just because Ghidorah won’t suddenly wake up doesn’t mean that he will forget Ghidorah’s existence.
After the Battle of New York, Zhenglian had not been gaining reputation outside for some time.
Ghidorah is a good reputation target.
