Are you planning to use me as a gunman?
hehe.
Baker resisted the urge to fly directly to Washington to have a good chat with Alexander Pierce, and turned to look at Barbara: "You have a good idea."
Barbara smiled: "Thank you."
The corner of Baker's mouth twitched: "I'm not complimenting you."
Is this really a good plan, and it's also a crackling kind of thing. Someone is charging in the front, and you are picking up what's ready behind?
Then what has become of me?
Donkey?
Do you really think SHIELD can do whatever you want with you?
Barbara looked at the look on Baker's face and shrugged: "I don't want to do this either, but tell me, if your side moves, what will happen to the SHIELD side?"
In other words, what is the probability that Hydra is willing to hand over its undead army.
Infinitely close to zero.
In other words, if Baker and Hydra fight, then SHIELD's best chance will come.
At worst, there will be another scene where Baker is an undercover A.D.I.E.L.D. gold medalist.
At that time, another 200 million will be paid for the undercover fee. Baker will get the money, and SHIELD will get the name. It will be a win-win cooperation and make progress together.
Baker stared at Barbara expressionlessly.
Barbara was not afraid at all: "Either way, I have a proposal here."
Baker lost interest: "Tell me."
He finally figured it out. If there were no special circumstances, he would definitely be the pioneer, and he would do it voluntarily.
Baker has said that he will destroy the entire Uriel clan, so he must keep his words, and Baker also believes that the chance of Hydra compromising is very small.
Maybe Alexander Pierce, who is in charge of American affairs, will compromise, but what about the other three Hydra leaders?
The chances of compromise are slim.
"cooperate!"
"What the hell?"
Barbara looked at Baker and said, "You will definitely not join our SHIELD, right?"
Baker looked at Barbara with curiosity: "Are you so sure?"
Barbara smiled.
Again, no one in this world understands Baker better than her.
At the moment, Baker is very innocent. At least his identity as Baker Morton is like this. Once he joins SHIELD, no matter what the outcome is, SHIELD will have a righteous identity that restrains Baker Morton.
Although Baker doesn't care what the outside world thinks.
The most important thing.
When Baker joins SHIELD, there is no such thing as a win-win situation for Baker, and only SHIELD benefits.
So why join?
Barbara said: "And now we all have a common enemy, and you don't want to see our SHIELD picking up ready-made products behind you, so why not cooperate."
Baker was silent.
It was undeniable that Baker was a little excited.
He charged into the battle by himself, while Aegis picked up ready-made items from behind. Baker felt that he would feel very uncomfortable. The thought of him killing all directions with the strength of several legions, and then Aegis eating barbecue and singing in the back...
The image attracts too much hatred.
Baker's eyes shrank and he looked at Barbara: "Continue."
Barbara smiled inwardly: "You must be hiding something. The prerequisite for cooperation is mutual trust."
Baker's face was expressionless: "I don't remember that I was hiding anything."
"You only mentioned one Alexander Pierce, and HYDRA members in the Federation."
"Then what?"
"There are others, right?"
"……right."
Modern Hydra should have five leaders, one responsible for state affairs, and one responsible for network affairs.
However, Dr. Zola, who is in charge of network affairs, is now trapped, so Hydra now has only four leaders.
Alexander Pierce.
Gideon Malik.
Baron Stella.
Daniel Whitehorse.
To put it bluntly, the total number of people at the disposal of these four people may have exceeded the total number of troops of a small country.
Barbara raised her eyebrows, and the sword-like forehead lines between her eyebrows flickered: "Who are they?"
Baker, who walked to the bar and was about to pour himself a drink, thought for a while and then directly gave the names of these four people and the intelligent life Dr. Zola who was imprisoned in the computer of a non-existent underground ammunition depot in the Jersey base. .
Now it is no longer a question of whether Baker wants to get involved in this matter, but that Hydra has what he wants, but it is obvious that there is more than a 70% chance that Hydra will not give it to Baker and will treat him badly. Baker kills.
Then here comes the problem.
Whether Hydra was Baker's enemy or not, there was no doubt that it was, so Baker decided to strike first.
When Barbara heard the names and origins of these people, she couldn't help frowning and feeling messy in the wind.
"Daniel Whitehorse?"
"The guy who rejuvenated himself by eating Skye's mother's flesh ear."
Baker said, then frowned and looked at Barbara: "Why, I told you the names of Skye's parents and the location of the afterlife, but you haven't found anyone yet?"
Barbara said directly: "The place of the afterlife is in the Eastern Kingdom."
"so?"
"We are not sure whether the Divine Spear Bureau has also been invaded by Hydra, and the location you gave is just a place name. That place is being attacked. The secret agents sent there have not yet reported any information."
"Where is his father, Mr. Hyde?"
"Kevin Zerbo's credit card was used in New Haven two days ago, and agents were sent to look for it as well."
"It's so slow."
"..."
Baker curled his lips, looked at Barbara who seemed to want to say something, and said speechlessly: "Do you need to go to such trouble? Just ask Skye to show up on some entertainment show. Believe it or not, Kevin will be there the next day." ·Will Zebo and Jiaying deliver goods directly to your door?”
Barbara frowned and said: "But Hydra..."
Baker smiled directly and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Hydra. Don't forget, both Kevin Zebo and Jiaying think SHIELD is the enemy."
Barbara's mouth opened slightly.
Baker shook his head and said, "Forget it, just look for it slowly, I'm leaving."
Barbara said in shock: "Leaving again, didn't you mean cooperation?"
Baker drank the glass of wine in one gulp: "It's cooperation, but I am in the dominant position, and I don't feel comfortable letting you take the lead."
"worried?"
"Just like asking you to find Jiaying and Kevin Zebo, I gave you the news about the existence of Hydra. So far, you have failed to find a few other people through Alexander Pierce."
"Our information..."
"So I need to find someone else to work with me."
And if nothing unexpected happens, this time, Baker can not only completely wipe out the Uriel clan, but also increase his apparent assets to an astronomical figure.
Of course.
The majority will definitely go to the partner, after all, he needs to put in his full effort.
"Cooperation? Who?"
"Tony Stark!"
"..."
after an hour!
"What?"
While driving to Malibu, Barbara frowned as she listened to the bloody feud between the Stark family and Hydra: "Howard and Maria were killed by Bucky Barnes?"
Baker glanced at Barbara who was driving: "Are you surprised?"
Barbara nodded: "Of course, SHIELD sent people to investigate the car accident that happened to Howard and Maria."
Definitely.
After all, Howard Stark is considered one of the veterans of SHIELD. Why can't SHIELD send someone to investigate?
but……
Baker looked at Barbara: "In 1991, who was the Director of SHIELD at that time?"
"Alexander..."
Barbara said subconsciously, but stopped suddenly in the middle of her sentence and looked up at Beck.
In 1991, Gideon Malik was a member of the Security Council and Alexander Pierce was in charge of SHIELD. Logically speaking, that year was actually the best time for Hydra to rebel.
pity.
Opportunities are called opportunities because they disappear in a blink of an eye. That year, Hydra did not seize this excellent opportunity.
Barbara then looked at Baker: "But, how did you know?"
Beck opened his mouth.
Barbara said angrily: "Don't talk about the Templars anymore."
This guy likes to pull the Templars out for a walk whenever this kind of thing happens. Please, the Templars have already dispersed like birds and beasts. As for the ones that are still jumping around, they are also being suppressed by SHIELD in secret.
Baker shook his head and smiled: "Okay, I know this from Sloan's notebook."
Barbara immediately glanced at Beck with speechless eyes.
really.
Is this guy not going to tell the truth?
Seeing this, Baker looked serious: "It's true. Every assassination transaction of the Brotherhood has been recorded by Sloan."
Barbara was already sure that Baker was lying, so she said angrily: "Who can write notes, a serious person?"
Baker shrugged: "I don't know, villains and politicians?"
Isn’t this what transaction records are like? After all, a good memory is not as good as a bad writing. If you do too many bad things, you have to record them to avoid forgetting them. Otherwise, why would so many villains be imprisoned because of their own accounting records? Where to arrest?
soon.
The black Chevrolet sports car entered Malibu Street, and from the side of the boat, you could see the endless ocean.
It seemed to Baker that all this was God's will.
He had just finished solving the Male Manor, and then another Hydra appeared. It just so happened that the home of Tony Stark, another mortal enemy of Hydra, was in Los Angeles.
It seems that everything is destined somehow.
As for why Tony Stark lives in Los Angeles and Stark Tower is in New York, that's a good question.
Baker asked during a card game last year, and Tony Stark answered.
There’s nothing wrong with New York’s Stark Tower being the headquarters.
But he is the boss, let alone living in Los Angeles, even if he lives in Paris, what does it matter?
Pepper?
Stop it, do you think Pepper is the kind of migrant worker who lives in Tongzhou and works in the capital? Pepper had a private plane to New York in the morning, and then transferred to a helicopter to land directly on the top of Stark Tower.
What?
In the movie, Pepper comes out of her home in Malibu and then returns to the New York building?
You said it was a movie.
It's normal for movies to have bugs. Besides, maybe there was a kind person who drew a portal for Pepper at that time.
soon.
The black Chevrolet stopped at the intersection of the road going up the mountain.
Nothing else.
The road is blocked by a guardrail. Going up from this guardrail is the land belonging to the Stark family.
Someone else is the island owner.
Tony Stark is... the Lord of the Mountain?
Barbara lowered the window and rang the doorbell on the side of the road.
Not long after.
A calm middle-aged man's voice came out: "Show your identities."
Baker leaned over and said, "Baker Morton."
"Good morning, Mr. Morton." As the guardrail rose, the middle-aged man's voice came out: "Mr. Stark is waiting for you."
Barbara restarted the car.
soon.
After driving along the mountain ring road for three minutes, after climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see the super luxurious cliff villa.
Baker smacked his lips: "I also want to build such a mansion of my own."
Barbara next to her said, "New York doesn't have such a big place for you to repair it."
Baker said expressionlessly: "Stark can live in Los Angeles, but I can't?"
A monk can touch it, but a poor Taoist cannot?
Moreover.
After finishing this matter, he could change his job and become a magician. Let alone Los Angeles, it would be possible for Baker to live under the sea.
Barbara smiled and said nothing.
The Chevrolet stopped.
Baker gets out of the car.
Pepper Potts, who had been waiting at the door of the mansion for a long time, wearing a formal suit, came up to Baker with a smile on his face and handed Baker his hand: "Welcome, Baker."
Baker and Pepper shook hands, then let go.
Even though Tony Stark doesn't seem to care about Pepper, Baker can guarantee that if he dares to attack Pepper, Tony Stark can go directly to the investment market of East Kingdom to encircle and suppress Baker's investment business in East Kingdom. .
Pepper then shook hands with Barbara, then turned around, led the way and said to Baker: "Have you had breakfast? Do you want to come together?"
Baker said, "Do you have any wine?"
Pepper smiled and said, "Of course."
Go inside.
big.
Baker felt sour as he looked at it. His penthouse on Fifth Avenue could be considered a mansion, but compared with the one here, it was simply the difference between a mansion and a bungalow.
It took two minutes.
Pepper led Baker and Barbara through the living room and into the back garden facing the vast sea.
Wearing a T-shirt, shorts and even a pair of sunglasses, Tony Stark is enjoying his breakfast.
"Tony!" Pepper shouted towards Tony, who was holding coffee in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.
Tony looked up at Beck and Barbara who had already walked over, and then said to Pepper: "Sorry, I was looking at my phone just now. What were you talking about?"
Pepper helplessly looked at Beck with an apologetic look.
Tony Stark is the richest man in the world, but Pepper is not. In fact, as Tony's personal secretary, the most thing Pepper does is to quickly defuse Tony Stark when he wants to attract hatred.
Although for Tony Stark, Baker's net worth is a bit insufficient.
However, that is relative. In the eyes of the public, Baker Morton is the youngest investor on Wall Street, and he is an investor who has achieved considerable achievements despite the pressure of Tony Stark.
…
soon.
Pepper invited Baker and Barbara to sit down.
Tony looked over there without saying a word. He only waited until Baker and Barbara sat down before looking at Baker: "Borrow money?"
Beck looked at Tony: "Are you looking for me?"
Tony's face turned dark: "It was you who asked me to borrow the money."
"Why should I ask you to borrow money?"
Baker looked at Tony with some confusion. Every Tuesday, someone regularly gave away around 300,000 to 500,000 U.S. dollars. Although Baker was a bit extravagant in spending money, he didn't go so far as to ask someone to borrow money. ah.
"Then what are you doing?"
"I was just planning to tell you some news."
"Then what?"
"Now I'm not interested."
"..."
Baker said this, this guy is so stinky. To be honest, with Baker being so well-educated, he couldn’t help but beat him up. Those time-travelers who come to this guy to attract investment are the ones who can’t get him. Why do you want to be friends with this guy?
Most importantly, how did these guys think Tony Stark would be his friend instead of having them dumped in the Pacific Ocean to feed the sharks?
Baker was curious.
After looking through the entire Marvel Universe, the one who is least suitable for immediate strategy is the Tony Stark in front of me.
This guy's eyes are on the top of his head.
If you are of a lower status than him, this guy won't even look at you. What if you rush to directly reveal that Obadiah is plotting against Stark Industries?
hehe.
Baker can guarantee that that guy will end up sinking directly to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Who is Obadiah?
Howard Stark's beloved brother, Tony Stark's godfather, in Eastern terms, Tony's adoptive father. When you say this, you are saying, Hey, Tony, your adoptive father plans to rob him. your company.
How many people do you think would believe it?
Especially those guys who came through physical time and didn't even have a legal background.
I think after Tony Stark lost to Baker for the first time in Las Vegas, his plan was to make it difficult for Baker to survive on Wall Street so that Baker would beg him.
But Baker transferred directly to Dongguo.
And he mixed pretty well.
Then, after so many card games, Tony Stark and Beck were no longer acquainted with each other.
But even with the friendship of losing four to five million a week, if Baker was talking about Obadiah, Tony would not let Baker sink to the bottom of the Pacific, but that was all.
so……
Baker felt that he might have had a mental disorder just now, so he was ready to come over to talk to this guy about cooperation.
I must not have woken up at the time.
Baker thought and looked directly at Barbara: "Let's go."
Pepper next to him said: "Baker..."
Tony said nothing, I am who I am, different fireworks, in terms of temper, who is better than me?
Barbara was also speechless.
The tempers of these two guys are more explosive than the other.
but……
Barbara still got up. She really wanted to stay, but Baker's temper was obviously getting worse. If he stayed, he would only get himself involved.
Pepper looked at Tony speechlessly.
Tony was unmoved.
Pepper had no choice but to catch up with Beck, who was about to walk into the living room, and whispered: "Beck, I'm sorry, Tony didn't mean to do it today. It's just that when you came over, Tony had just finished watching Mr. Howard Stark." The recorded images left behind are just a little sad.”
Beck stopped and looked at Pepper.
Pepper said: "Otherwise, Tony wouldn't have worn sunglasses."
As Tony Stark's personal secretary, Pepper said she doesn't know what motivates her to do what she does now.
Maybe it's because of my overflowing maternal love?
Or is it because... of being a bitch?
Pepper couldn't understand it herself.
Beck was watching the expression on Pepper's face. To be honest, his sense of Pepper was much better than that of Tony.
quite a while.
Baker turned to Tony over there and said calmly: "Howard and Maria were not killed in a car accident, but were assassinated. If you want to know, apologize first!"
Tony over there looked at Beck instantly.
Baker put his hands in his pockets, his expression unchanged.
Pepper next to her was a little dumbfounded when she heard Baker's words, and immediately looked towards Barbara, trying to verify something.
Barbara nodded.
Pepper immediately looked at Tony. Barbara's identity was obviously an FBI agent, but as a sister in the secretarial world, Pepper also knew people in the FBI. The FBI said it would not admit it but I don’t deny it, that’s intriguing.
Tony strode directly to Beck: "What did you say?"
"You heard it, you want to know, apologize first," Baker said.
Tony took off his sunglasses, and his eyes were indeed a little red as Pepper said. After all, like Beck, Tony Stark also has a warm heart.
"sorry."
"I accept."
Baker said this, if he was not in a hurry to destroy the entire Uriel clan, he would definitely have fun with Tony Stark.
Now?
Time does not allow!
After Baker finished speaking, he repeated his right hand, showed a mobile hard drive, and handed it to Barbara: "You can tell the next story. I have already told you. There is a video in it. Who killed it? Play it for him. Enough."
That video is the video of the Winter Soldier killing the Starks.
Unlike the version held by a certain second-generation baron, Baker's video was shot from the perspective of the Brotherhood Killer's cell phone.
The picture quality is very blurry.
but……
It can still be recognized.
And regarding matters related to Stark, it is more reasonable to let people from SHIELD speak to them than to let Baker speak to them.
After Baker handed the hard drive to Barbara, he immediately looked at Pepper: "Do you have any wine?"
Pepper came back to her senses, took a look, and then said to Baker: "Of course, here, what do you want to drink?"
"Bourbon."
"good."
After Baker and Pepper walked aside, Barbara looked at the mobile hard drive in her hand and said to Tony, "Is there a more secure computer?"
Tony pointed to the basement stairs: "Follow me."
Baker stared at the back of Tony who almost ran to the basement, shook his head, drank the bourbon in his glass, and then looked at Pepper in front of him: "It must be hard to have such a bad boss."
Pepper said to Baker: "Baker, when you were winning money, you never said that Tony was bad."
Baker laughed and said, "That's different."
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Similarly, although the person who sends money to your door is a stinker, he can still be regarded as a smiling person.
Pepper whispered: "Beck, is your... information accurate?"
Baker looked at Pepper: "What's wrong?"
Pepper shook his head: "If the news is wrong, Tony will be... very sad."
Baker smiled: "Believe me, Tony will be very angry within five minutes."
The former is angry because he was deceived by Baker.
The latter will be angry when they see the truth.
Of course.
Five minutes later, there is only one possibility!
…
