Chapter 88

Truly, it must be the same as his current mood—unbelievable!

Su Quan poured a glass of wine, holding a black baton in one hand and the glass in the other, and walked up to the completely bewildered Brock Rumlow.

"Want to taste it? It should be better than the wine you're drinking now!"

Brock Rumlow stared blankly at the wine glass, then at the black baton—drink and live, or don't drink and die?

No one would choose to die, especially not a confused death, so Brock Rumlow very decisively took the glass and downed it in one gulp.

You have to say, the texture and taste were actually quite good; it was worthy of being wine from the home of the S.H.I.E.L.D. commander-in-chief.

"I'm starting to like you!"

Su Quan patted Brock Rumlow on the shoulder with the air of a big boss.

Then, with Brock Rumlow looking on in astonishment, he pruned all the other agents who had already put down their guns.

"Wh-why? Aren't they—"

Brock Rumlow felt his brain couldn't keep up.

"Let's be direct. I'm Su Quan, the boss of the Quandou Society, and now, I'm your boss too."

"I injected Maria Hill with a 100% success rate Super Soldier Serum and also brought a large amount of vibranium to help her increase her influence."

"Unfortunately, her performance disappointed me."

Su Quan shook his head in feigned regret and casually made the vibranium on the table fly into Brock Rumlow's hands.

"Brock, you won't disappoint me like she did, will you?"

Brock Rumlow clutched the vibranium that had flown to him and said without hesitation: "Absolutely not!"

The current situation was already very clear.

The mysterious boss of the Quandou Society, who had caused such a stir in Pogang a while ago, was this strange and ruthless man before him.

He had wanted to recruit Maria Hill, who had been judged by Hydra as someone who would absolutely never betray Nick Fury and could never be won over.

Unfortunately, the result was not ideal!

Maria Hill was not the type of person to easily change her stance, let alone betray S.H.I.E.L.D. for profit!

As for the 100% success rate Super Soldier Serum, honestly, Brock Rumlow's first reaction was disbelief!

Not to mention a 100% success rate, even a Super Soldier Serum with a very low chance of success might not even exist!

As far as he knew, General Luo Si of the military was currently conducting Super Soldier Serum experiments.

If someone really possessed a Super Soldier Serum, the military and Hydra couldn't possibly not know.

It's just that—

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Brock Rumlow knew Maria Hill wasn't someone who was easily fooled.

With her status, she wouldn't have continued dealing with the other party if she hadn't verified the authenticity of the serum.

The Super Soldier Serum, the vibranium, and the various strange abilities the man had displayed.

Right, and the threat of death!

In this situation, what was there to hesitate about?

If he offered more than Hydra, Brock Rumlow wouldn't mind working for him, or even working *only* for him.

A wise bird chooses its tree to perch on, after all!

"Did you hear Maria Hill's final message?" Su Quan asked.

Brock Rumlow shook his head: "I only received the request for support; her message should still be on her phone."

"Go listen to it."

Brock Rumlow quickly found the phone and located the message uploaded to Maria Hill's personal mailbox on the internal S.H.I.E.L.D. network.

"I'm sorry. I apologize for my behavior just now. I accept your terms."

"Tomorrow morning, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Barbara Morse, and Sharon Carter will appear at the Quandou Society on time."

Brock Rumlow listened to the message and memorized the names of these four people.

"Barbara Morse and Sharon Carter aren't important. What's important are Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons. If it's inconvenient for you to show your face, have Sitwell or Alexander Pierce handle it."

"That piece of vibranium is your payment."

"Yes."

Brock Rumlow hadn't expected his new boss to know so much about Hydra.

That bald guy Sitwell usually kept a low profile and would never be suspected by anyone.

And then there was their leader, Alexander Pierce!

He was Nick Fury's close friend and a minister of the World Security Council; his identity had actually been exposed too.

This—

Why did he suddenly lose confidence in the cause of Hydra?

"Maria Hill could become a super soldier, and so can you. I'm not short on serum; what I'm short on is people to inject it!"

Su Quan patted Brock Rumlow's shoulder again and extracted several doses of Super Soldier Serum from the system.

Brock Rumlow's eyes widened instantly.

Immediately after, the serum disappeared.

Su Quan disappeared too!

Brock Rumlow took several minutes to calm down before taking out his phone and calling Alexander Pierce.

"I'm Rumlow. Maria Hill is dead. Everyone else who carried out this mission is dead, except for me."

"I have a piece of vibranium in my hand now, at least two kilograms or more. The specific situation is very complicated; I'll report to you when I get back."

"Good."

——

Quandou Society branch.

Su Quan lay on the bed, his mood neither good nor bad.

From a practical standpoint, Brock Rumlow could be more useful than Maria Hill.

After all, he had no bottom line, and behind him was Hydra, which secretly controlled S.H.I.E.L.D.

But, Maria Hill had long legs!

Hopefully, after being baptized by the void, Maria Hill could turn over a new leaf and become a better person.

Returning to his embrace as soon as possible to add bricks and tiles to his cause and contribute her strength.

"Su Quan! Su Quan!"

Jessica Jones's shouting suddenly came from downstairs.

"Su Quan, something happened!"

"Bang."

Jessica Jones burst through the door in a hurry and rushed straight to Su Quan.

"Something happened. Li Martin and Aunt May have been captured."

"Tell me slowly. Why were they captured, by whom, and where were they taken?"

Something happened!

Su Quan was surprised, yet not surprised.

With such a big commotion at the Pogang headquarters, it was naturally difficult for the branch to stay out of it and remain unaffected.

"Li Martin went to Queens to ask around about motorcycle paperwork, and he ran into people from the Maggia gang and got captured."

"Aunt May and Uncle Ben were nearby at the time. When they saw Li Martin being captured, they wanted to step in to help, and then—"

"Then someone opened fire. Uncle Ben was shot and sent to the hospital. I've already sent X-23 to the hospital. Aunt May and Li Martin were taken away by them."

"I don't know where they were taken, but one of our employees is following them; he'll notify me if there's any news."

"He was the one who notified me about Li Martin and Aunt May being captured."

Jessica Jones finished saying everything she knew like a machine gun, looking anxiously at Su Quan, waiting for him to make a decision.

Li Martin and Aunt May captured, Uncle Ben shot, and the ones who did it were Li Martin's enemies, the Maggia gang?

At first glance, it seemed there was no problem, but why did Su Quan feel that things weren't that simple?
