Chapter 571: Changes After Returning, the Extra Yelena and Maya Hansen
Nowhere branch, second floor, restaurant.
It was bustling with noise and excitement.
Everyone was gathered in twos and threes, either clinking glasses or whispering, the atmosphere lively and harmonious.
For Su Quan and the White Queen, they had been gone for a year, but for everyone present, they had only been gone for five minutes.
Su Quan scanned the restaurant, his gaze sweeping over everyone one by one, and soon, his eyes lit up slightly; he had found the difference from before he traveled.
In the restaurant, there were two more people, two—acquaintances!
One of them was closer to him, sitting beside Dottie Underwood; the two seemed to be chatting about Red Room matters.
"Yelena," Su Quan called out to her.
The second-generation Black Widow, Yelena Belova!
Calculating the time, she should be just sixteen years old this year.
Hearing the voice, Yelena came before Su Quan, calling him "Master" with a bit of restraint.
Girls change with every year; at this time, Yelena already had a bit of the appearance he remembered.
Su Quan asked with a smile: "How long has it been since we last met?"
"Ten years; ever since I met Master while on a mission with Mother in Ohio that year, I haven't seen you since, until now," Yelena answered obediently.
Su Quan nodded and asked again: "Why are you here?"
This question stunned Yelena; she hesitated for a small moment before saying: "It was you who went to the headquarters and brought us over."
"Nowhere headquarters?"
"That's right."
"Did you leave the Red Room?" Su Quan asked again.
Yelena's expression became even stranger; she shook her head and said: "Of course not; the Red Room has long been secretly controlled by you. How could I leave the Red Room? I'm not her."
Her?
Was Yelena talking about Natasha?
Su Quan nodded, smiled, and rubbed Yelena's head: "It's nothing, you can go back down."
Yelena responded with confusion and turned back to Dottie's side.
*Hum! *
Releasing his psychic ability, Su Quan directly understood what had happened over the past ten years through Yelena's memories.
Back then, after their "family of four" mission ended, the White Queen went back to the Red Room with them and controlled Dreykov.
The Iron Maiden, Melina, became the deputy under one person and above ten thousand in the Red Room, but she didn't care about the Red Room's missions and development, only focusing on researching the scientific application of chemical conquest and taking care of Natasha and Yelena.
Their mother-daughter bond didn't end after the mission like in the movie, but had continued to this day.
The development of the Red Room was basically consistent with the movie; Black Widows were planted beside major forces and high-ranking officials of various countries.
Yelena was arranged by the Red Room to the Nowhere headquarters.
This was her first undercover mission, and it was also specifically arranged by Melina.
It was worth mentioning that the Nowhere headquarters had an office building in Madripoor with a massive footprint.
Its scale was at least twice as large as the S. H. I. E. L. D. Triskelion base!
This Nowhere building started construction nine or ten years ago and was only officially completed and moved into not long ago.
No need to ask, this must have been done by the White Queen!
Over these years, Yelena had either been receiving Black Widow training in the Red Room or was with Melina, and there was nothing particularly special or out of line.
Natasha was different!
Ten years ago, Natasha was eleven, already sensible, and had her own judgment.
Melina's change in stance and the preferential treatment she received gave her a deep sense of crisis.
Simply put, she felt there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world; Su Quan being good to her must have had ulterior motives.
Plus, she knew that her biological mother had been killed by Dreykov, so she decided to take revenge.
Melina certainly wouldn't let her kill Dreykov so early, but Natasha was recruited by S. H. I. E. L. D. agents, not only quitting the Red Room but also designing the killing of Dreykov.
Of course, that was just what she thought; in reality, Dreykov didn't die, but his daughter Antonia was seriously injured in the explosion, and to save her, they had to use the chemical conquest chip to turn her into a super killing tool: Taskmaster!
The Red Room also went from light to dark, placing its base in an aerial flying fortress, making everyone think the Red Room had been completely destroyed.
Now, Natasha was still like in the original fate, becoming a S. H. I. E. L. D. agent.
It had to be said that this result made Su Quan somewhat dissatisfied.
Although it was fake, I still gave you a happy childhood with a family, and gave you great preferential treatment in training, making you a complete woman without the regret of being unable to become a mother.
Is this how you repay me?
You want to take revenge for your biological mother, fine, I can understand that.
You also know that I am the true master of the Red Room; couldn't you wait a few years before killing Dreykov?
Did you have to destroy my plan, did you have to betray the Red Room?
Is the protagonist's halo that powerful?!
Natasha was a member of the original Avengers and the most important link in the Sacred Timeline script.
I am immune to causality, so could the butterfly effect generated by me not change Natasha's ultimate fate?
Su Quan curled his lips noncommittally and nodded slightly at the White Queen, who was making a phone call not far away.
She had done some work in advance; after the chemical conquest chip was successfully developed, everyone in the Red Room was injected and modified.
Melina, Yelena, and Natasha were no exception!
The instructions included not being able to harm Dreykov, and also Su Quan!
But currently, only the White Queen and Melina knew!
This was the first thing.
Second, the White Queen also issued memory instructions to the three of them not to fall in love, not to rely on their bodies or female charms to complete missions, and not to have intimate contact with the opposite sex.
Regarding the White Queen's actions, Su Quan could only say—well done!
As a deputy, the White Queen was truly outstanding, very clear about his thoughts and preferences.
Having finished talking about Yelena, let's talk about the second change.
If Yelena's change was led by Su Quan, then the other change was the White Queen's own thoughts and actions.
The second extra person was named Maya Hansen!
Does this name sound familiar?
That's right, she was the biologist who developed bio-regeneration technology!
Originally, in 1999, she should have met Tony Stark at the 【Cross-World Technology Exhibition】 and had a one-night stand.
Later, she even developed the Extremis virus with Aldrich Killian based on bio-regeneration technology.
Now, well...
Su Quan directly used his psychic ability on Maya Hansen, and then once again marveled at the White Queen's excellence.
She had intercepted her in advance!
She invested in Maya Hansen before her bio-regeneration technology was successful and even built a laboratory for her in Madripoor.
So the current Maya Hansen didn't participate in the 【Cross-World Technology Exhibition】 at all, let alone meet Tony Stark and Aldrich Killian.
Under the butterfly effect, Su Quan also discovered another surprise in Maya Hansen's memory.
