Chapter 146, I am the one who wants to control the nine-headed snake
This invisible man was a talent accidentally discovered by Baron Strucker. After being discovered by him, he first worked like a normal agent for a period of time, learned and proved his abilities, and then was secretly selected by him as his personal guard.
Using the special ability of invisibility, Baron Strucker has killed countless people who wanted to kill him or who he wanted to kill over the years.
He originally thought that today would be the same as usual, but he didn't expect that Holm could discover the other party's existence and kill him so easily.
"You don't think that as long as I can't see it with my eyes, I can't feel its existence?" Holm said looking at the ugly-looking Baron Strucker.
In Holm's perception, this invisible man was completely invisible. He noticed this guy as soon as he entered the door.
At the beginning, he was still standing next to Baron Strucker, listening to the other party recruiting him.
When he felt that he had no intention of consent, the guy slowly moved behind him, ready to take action at any time.
"Okay, after all the nonsense, it's time to send you on your way. I have to catch a flight tomorrow, so I have to go back and have a good rest." Holm said and stood up.
Upon seeing this, Baron Strucker suddenly rolled off the sofa and ran towards his desk as fast as possible, as if there was some magic weapon there that could save him.
But just when he was about to touch it, his body froze, and his whole body was entangled and fixed in place by black tentacles, unable to move forward at all.
"You guys are really unwilling to give up. Even your invisible guards can't escape my perception. How could I not know that there is a secret passage here." Holm stood on the ground, speaking and using his tentacles. Pulling Baron Strucker in front of him.
"Don't kill me! Don't...uh!" Baron Strucker looked at Holm and begged, but as soon as he said a word, he was blocked by black tentacles.
"Shh, stop talking. You'll get bored if you talk any more." Holm said, putting his finger to his mouth.
After he finished speaking, he held Baron Strucker's head with both hands, then leaned close to his ear and whispered softly: "Although your conditions just now are very sincere, I think they are not enough."
"Whether it's you or Pierce, I have to deal with it, because I am the one who will control Hydra in the end."
"Sorry, you still underestimate my ambition and my ability."
Hearing what Holm said in his ear, Baron Strucker suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a hint of understanding and understanding in his eyes, but more importantly, he was still unwilling to accept it.
"Don't be unwilling. You just took the first step. You and Pierce will be reunited down there." Holm looked into Baron Strucker's eyes and said softly. After finishing speaking, his hands began to exert force.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, Baron Strucker's head was turned 180 degrees, and the complex emotions in his eyes gradually dissipated, and they lost their look.
After doing all this, Holm threw Baron Strucker's body to the ground, took pictures with the device, made some records, and then walked to the desk and turned the table leg inside.
"Click! Click! Click!" As a mechanical sound sounded, the wine cabinet next to it slowly opened, revealing the secret door hidden behind it.
This was originally an emergency escape passage used by Baron Strucker, but now it was advantageous to Holm.
"Well~~~ I slept so comfortably." The sleepy Daisy stretched her body, but found that her arm seemed to have touched something.
When she slowly opened her confused eyes, she saw Holm's peaceful sleeping face facing her. She could feel Holm's steady breathing and smell his unique scent.
After being stunned for a few seconds, the thoughts in her mind reconnected, and her eyes widened instantly.
She succeeded! But why doesn't she have the corresponding memory?
As her thoughts flowed, fragments of last night's scene appeared in her mind, and she seemed to have passed out drunk after just a few drinks.
Thinking of this, Daisy covered her face speechlessly and scolded the merchant who sold her medicine hundreds of times.
After a moment, Daisy, who was unwilling to give up, opened her eyes and checked again. After seeing her own intact clothes and Holm's intact clothes, she sighed in disappointment.
If she had known that the hangover medicine was useless, she would have drank more, preferably until she vomited and stained their clothes, so that her plan might have continued unknowingly.
In the end, who would have thought that she drank just right, knocked herself out, and then had a good sleep. Nothing happened, but she became more energetic.
Just as she sighed, Holm slowly opened his eyes, looked at the disappointed Daisy and said softly: "Why do you start sighing as soon as you open your eyes and are disappointed with your drinking capacity? Isn't this expected? Something about that?"
After hearing this, Daisy could only calm down her mood, and then followed his words and said: "I just didn't expect it to be so bad, eh~"
After saying that, she sighed again, then turned around holding the quilt covering her body, leaving only the back of Holm's head.
Holm was a little confused when he saw this. Why did he feel that Daisy didn't mean this.
In fact, he woke up very early and was waiting for Daisy to wake up to see if she would notice anything strange. In the end, he didn't expect anything strange, but it was nothing, but Daisy seemed a little disappointed.
Disappointed for what? Did you dream about something again? But I didn't hear her talking in her sleep.
Could it be? .
Holm looked at his own clothes and Daisy's clothes again, and suddenly thought of the joke about animals being inferior to animals.
So Daisy is disappointed that nothing happened last night?
Hiss~! If that's the case, did Daisy get drunk on purpose yesterday? Or are you actually not drunk?
But there was nothing wrong with his examination, and he had already administered the medicine, so even if Daisy hid it from him, she would definitely fall asleep later under the influence of the medicine.
Thinking of this, Holm's heart suddenly relaxed again. There was nothing wrong with his plan, and the mission last night should not have been discovered.
No, why did he suddenly think of the mission? What he should focus on is the fact that Daisy is disappointed.
Is it really what Venom said? Daisy was really expecting him to do something.
Seeing Daisy's slim figure with her back to him and the quiet fragrance exuding from her body, the image of her taking a bath that night and the scene of her carefully dressed up last night flashed through his mind again.
So Venom's guess that day was actually not wrong, but he was wrong.
Chapter 147, Gwen's gift
The sun in New York is also very bright today, adding a lot of warmth to the already desolate city.
Feeling the cold wind blowing from the car window, Holm also slowly parked the car in front of Daisy's house.
"Ah~! It feels better to be at home. Thank you for sending me back." Daisy stretched her body and smiled at Holm in the driver's seat.
When Holm heard this, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be so polite, just remember to reimburse the gas fee."
Hearing Holm's words, Daisy also rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's a nice thought, I'm just being polite. I didn't even ask you for the money to write the report, so why do you have the nerve to ask me for gas expenses. "
After listening to her words, Holm also sighed and said with great regret: "Hey~ Think about it, I didn't know who took the initiative to ask for the report before, but I couldn't take it away, but I didn't expect it now. I started to slack off, people are fickle, especially women, especially beautiful women."
His words made Daisy speechless. At that time, she was still a novice who had just entered the workplace and wanted to learn more about everything. Now that she has become an old employee, of course she also wants to fish.
"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that, I don't know how much trouble I've saved you. If you don't please me quickly, I won't write for you again if you say that again." Daisy crossed her arms and hummed.
"Please, please now." Holm said as he stretched out his hand in front of Daisy, and then with a flip of his palm, a delicate necklace fell from his hand.
"This is a beautiful gift for you."
"Your dress looked very nice that night, but it was a little empty around the neck. It would be just right if you add it."
Looking at the necklace in front of her that shone in the sun and shone with luxurious light, Daisy couldn't hide her surprise and joy.
"Thank you, but I didn't prepare a gift." Daisy suddenly realized that she didn't prepare any gift for Holm.
When she left Sokovia, she was thinking about her failed plan all the time. She couldn't cheer up and fell asleep again as soon as she got on the plane.
After getting off the plane, they went to S.H.I.E.L.D. to submit a report and started working again. They had just finished their work and were ready to enjoy the next few days of vacation.
"I don't need you to give me a gift in return. Just help me write the report in the future." Holm said with a smile and a wink.
"Yes." Daisy looked down at the necklace after hearing this, bit her mouth lightly and nodded.
Then Holm helped take down her things, and then drove to his home.
Daisy just looked at the necklace in her hand happily, and made a silly laugh or two from time to time.
Just when she was about to wear it on herself to see how it would work on her upper body, she suddenly thought that she had just missed another opportunity.
She should ask Holm to help her put the necklace on, and then invite him to come to the house for a drink of water. Then she should go back to the bedroom and change into that dress, and then... everything will fall into place.
It's a pity that she just looked at the necklace and giggled, and didn't think about it at all. She only remembered it now that everyone was gone.
Thinking of this, Daisy felt a little annoyed, but looking at the necklace around her neck, she quickly cheered up again.
Anyway, there is a long way to go, and there are many opportunities. There will always be times when she can seize them, and there will always be times when Holm cannot.
While Daisy was playing with the necklace, Home also returned to his home.
After putting away all the things he bought, he leaned on the sofa and enjoyed the moment of tranquility and relaxation.
After guessing Daisy's little thoughts, he was a little at a loss as to what to do, but luckily Daisy was unhappy at the time and didn't notice anything unusual about him.
After returning to New York, he had adjusted his mentality and Daisy seemed to be back to normal, which made him relax.
He's really not very good at dealing with these things, so it would be best if he stays the same as before.
While he was thinking wildly, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Holm picked up the phone and looked at it, and found a message from Gwen, asking him if he had time now. He wanted to say something and had something to give him.
He has been dealing with various things since the Sandman incident ended, and it is only now that he has finally come to an end and has a few days of relaxing time.
So I have to say that the time Gwen sent the message was indeed very good. He just had time now.
So he replied to Gwen, then stood up from the sofa and walked out of the house.
Half an hour later, in the familiar coffee shop, Holm arrived as promised and sat across from Gwen.
"Are there any activities today?" Holm asked, looking at Gwen who had changed from the lazy and casual style of her usual hoodie and sweater to suddenly becoming more refined.
Today, Gwen was wearing a brown knitted sweater with a diamond plaid on her upper body, a pair of white trousers underneath, and a half-length windbreaker hanging on the back of the chair.
Although this outfit is still casual, it is already an extremely refined and fashionable casual style. Coupled with her slightly curly long blond hair and a pretty face with a hint of pink, her whole person's temperament has become much more mature.
Hearing Holm's words, Gwen unconsciously touched the small earrings on her ears and said, "What's wrong? Do I look like I just finished an event?"
"No, it's just rare. I've never seen you dressed like this before, so I'm a little surprised. But it's very beautiful, indeed very beautiful." Holm explained.
Listening to Holm's explanation and his praise, Gwen also smiled, then blinked and said, "You will probably see it more often in the future, so don't be too surprised."
"Now, these are the clothes you lent me before, and this is a gift for you. After all, you have helped me so many times and given me many small gifts, but I have not given you a gift in return."
As Gwen said this, she handed a bag and a big box to Holm. In the bag were the clothes from before, and in the box were the gifts she bought.
The clothes in the bag had been washed, and Holm could even smell a faint fragrance.
To be honest, he had almost forgotten about this dress. If Gwen hadn't mentioned it today, he would never have been able to remember it in his life.
As for the gift next to him, Holm was a little surprised by the size of the box. At the same time, he was also a little curious about what was inside, so that such a big box could be used.
When he opened the box, he found that inside was a suit with exquisite workmanship and very comfortable materials.
"I saw that you usually wear casual suits like this, so I ordered a suit for you." Gwen said while observing Holm's expression.
After seeing that Holm didn't dislike him, but was actually surprised, her slightly worried heart immediately relaxed.
Chapter 148, Exposed Crisis
"Is this custom-made?" Holm originally thought it was a standard suit, but after taking a closer look, he found that it was not.
Gwen also nodded when he heard this and said: "It's custom-made. I calculated the size based on your coat and normal observations, so if there is anything inappropriate, remember to tell me in time and I will ask them to adjust it. "
"It shouldn't be inappropriate. I trust your observation skills. Thank you for your gift. I like it very much." After hearing Gwen's words, Holm also said with a smile.
For the two of them with special abilities, it is indeed not difficult to observe these data. For example, he can usually tell the sizes of Gwen and Daisy with just one glance, and judge the thickness of underwear based on the degree of fluctuation. .
Ahem, after recovering his wandering thoughts, Holm also put away the gift, and then continued to ask Gwen: "By the way, didn't you say you had something to tell me?"
Hearing Holm's question, Gwen leaned forward with a slightly serious expression and lowered her voice and said: "Recently, I can always feel a vague sense of prying eyes, as if someone is following and monitoring me. It has happened to me several times. Every time I noticed it, I conducted counter-investigation carefully, but nothing was gained."
Hearing this, Holm instantly became serious. He rubbed his chin and thought while saying: "I know your senses have always been very sharp, so since you can feel like this, it means that someone is indeed spying on you secretly. you."
"Have you gotten into any trouble recently? Could it be that you were inadvertently involved in some troublesome case, so agents are following and investigating?"
"No, no, that shouldn't be the case. If it's an ordinary agent, how could it not be discovered by you? But if it's someone like me, I don't think I've heard of such an operation. Normally, you're not in our observation sequence."
"Is your identity exposed?" Holm looked at Gwen thoughtfully.
Gwen nodded slightly when she heard this and said: "I can't rule out the possibility, because this sense of spying seems to exist not only when I am Gwen Stacey, but also when I complete the cross-dressing and transform into Spider-Woman. The identity of the hero seems to have appeared when fighting criminals, although it seems to be only once, but I believe I should not feel wrong."
Hearing Gwen's response, Holm frowned even more tightly. If this was really the case, it would be a bit troublesome.
Unless this sense of prying eyes comes from two parties, one monitoring Gwen Stacey and the other monitoring Spider-Woman, Gwen's identity must have been exposed to the monitor.
But according to Gwen, this incident had already happened before he came back, so if you wanted to do something against Gwen, you should have taken action by now.
Or maybe the other party has other intentions or a deeper plan.
In general, now that the other party is in the dark and Gwen is in the light, there is no other better way than to stay still and act cautiously during this period.
Now that the other party has started such an action, it should continue in the future. As long as you take the initiative to apply a little pressure when the sense of surveillance appears again, you don't believe that the other party will not reveal its flaws.
Thinking of this, Holm also told Gwen his thoughts. Gwen nodded after listening. She had no better way.
"I've had this experience several times now. The next time that feeling occurs again, I will definitely react as quickly as possible. I don't believe I can't find this guy who hides his head and tail." Gwen clenched her fists and said in a deep voice. .
Ever since this incident happened, a big stone has weighed on her heart, because if her identity is exposed, it will not only mean trouble for him alone, but also mean that her father, George Stacey, will be in trouble at all times. In danger.
She has solved many special criminals in the past and offended many evil forces. Those people have no way to deal with her, but they have thousands of ways to deal with an ordinary person.
Every time she thought of this, Gwen felt her whole body become depressed and irritable. This feeling of powerlessness was what she hated the most, and it would remind her of many memories buried deep in her heart.
Feeling Gwen's suppressed emotions, Holm also held her clenched fist, and then comforted softly: "Don't worry, I will help you solve this trouble. If you feel this guy again next time, remember He immediately told me that as long as I sense his presence, he will never be able to escape."
"I will also make arrangements for your father's side. During this period, I will find a way to keep him at the police station. After all, the police station should be the safest for him now."
"I also know what you are most worried about, so if your identity is really exposed, I will help you clean up those guys. There is no need for those scum to continue to live and waste social resources. As for those rats in the dark, to If they are smart enough, they won't do something stupid, otherwise no one can save them."
Holm's previous words of comfort were quite soft, but when he came to the next words, although his expression still didn't change much, the cold murderous intent and indifference in his tone could not be concealed. , no one will think this is a joke.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Gwen could react, Venom was already excited.
It screamed with a strange smile directly in Holm's consciousness: "Ugh! I've already remembered what you said. You must keep your word when the time comes! Don't break your promise!"
"We have to kill those guys anyway, so why not let me eat them all? It's considered waste."
"Rather than harming society, those scum can fill my stomach before they die, which is considered a good deed. Wow!"
"No way! No way! I'm so excited just thinking about it! Although I'm a bit sorry for the person opposite you, I still ask the guy who spied on her to step up his efforts!!!"
"Siha! I'm salivating, hey hey hey hey!"
"Shut up! If you talk nonsense again, I'll take your chocolate." Faced with Venom's random shouting, Holm also had black lines in his head and directly used his big weapon to suppress it.
He would only do this when things really develop to that situation. If possible, it would be best not to expose Gwen's identity.
After all, she is not Tony Stark. She is rich, powerful, and status, but she is still an orphan. The only person she was closest to before, Obadiah, is gone. Now Pepper is also the CEO of the Stark Group, and she is accompanied by many bodyguards when she travels. , and the summoned beast Tony, there is no need to worry about safety issues at all.
Chapter 149, Hello, I am Phylicia Hardy
How could Gwen not be moved when faced with Holm's comfort and promise? She had never thought about asking Holm to do anything for her.
She originally just wanted to talk to Holm about her troubles, and wanted to see if there was any good solution during the communication.
Although she usually adhered to the principle of not killing when dealing with criminals, she did not and could not feel disgusted by the cold murderous intention revealed in Holm's words. Instead, she was even more moved.
"Don't thank me too much, and don't be so moved that you cry. If you really want to thank me, just treat me to dinner. It will take at least a month, right?" Holm looked at Gwen and winked and joked. The chilling atmosphere just now It also dissipated instantly with his words.
Listening to Holm's joke, Gwen pursed her lips and retorted: "Who's going to cry? I don't! I originally wanted to treat you to dinner, but now it's gone! Not to mention a month, not even a week!"
However, although her words were strong, her tone was not fierce at all, but rather soft.
Seeing her expression and response, Holm couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Gwen looked really cute like this, just like a puppy with fried hair.
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side: "Gwen!"
Holm followed the sound and saw a girl with long pale blond hair, wearing a black tube top dress and dressed very delicately, looking at Gwen sitting opposite him with a look of surprise.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect you to be in this cafe too." The girl said as she walked towards them.
"I only discovered this store recently. I originally wanted to invite you to come with me next time, but I didn't expect that I would bump into it today."
Looking at the girl approaching and listening to what she said, Gwen also stood up unexpectedly and smiled: "Hello Felicia, I didn't expect to meet you here."
After a simple hello, Gwen was ready to introduce each other to them, but the girl named Felicia did not bother Gwen, but directly extended her hand to Holm and said with a smile: "Hello, I Her name is Felicia Hardy, she is Gwen's classmate and good friend."
"Hello, my name is Holm Clint, Gwen's friend." Holm also gently shook Felicia's hand and introduced himself.
"Is he your boyfriend?" As soon as she finished speaking, Felicia looked at Holm and Gwen teasingly and smiled.
Faced with Felicia's teasing, Gwen felt a little embarrassed for a moment, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she wanted to defend herself.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, Holm already said: "They are just close friends."
Hearing Holm's answer, Gwen pursed her lips and nodded as well.
"Oh~ That's it~" Felicia said as if she suddenly understood, and the smile on her face became brighter.
After the brief introduction, seeing that Felicia had no intention of leaving, Gwen invited her to sit next to her.
"Are you here for shopping today?" Gwen asked curiously, looking at the several bags Felicia placed at her feet.
"Yeah, because it was too boring to stay at home, so I went out for a walk."
Felicia nodded, then picked up a packaging bag and continued: "By the way, I bought this specially for you. I originally wanted to give it to you in class next week, but I didn't expect to meet you here. "
"You can try it here. If you don't like it, I'll take you to pick another one."
While speaking, Felicia also opened the exquisite gift box in the packaging bag, and then took out a dazzling diamond necklace.
"No, no, this is too expensive, I can't have it." After seeing that the gift turned out to be such a beautiful diamond necklace, Gwen quickly waved her hand and refused.
Opposite them, Holm looked at the diamond necklace in surprise. He didn't expect that this girl named Felicia would be so generous.
Although Holm had already guessed from her dress that she had a wealthy family background when he saw her, this method of giving gifts still surprised him.
Faced with Gwen's rejection, Felicia also explained: "It's just a necklace, it's nothing. Aren't we good friends? Isn't it normal to give gifts to good friends?"
"Still, you don't want to be friends with me. You were just lying to me when you promised to be friends with me a few days ago."
When she said this, Felicia also lowered her eyebrows and looked very depressed. Coupled with her outstanding facial features and expression, she looked so charming and lovable.
Tsk tsk tsk, your rank is not low, Gwen is about to be manipulated, Holm commented in his mind as he looked at the scene in front of him.
How could the simple-minded Gwen be able to handle such a tea ceremony, let alone such a beautiful and lovely girl opposite her. All she wanted was to make friends with her and give her gifts.
Things turned out just as Holm thought. Gwen didn't hold on for long. Faced with Felicia's increasingly solid reasons and silky combos, she was quickly taken advantage of.
After Gwen finally agreed, Felicia smiled brighter and brighter and put the necklace on Gwen's neck with her own hands.
"Yes, it barely matches you." Felicia said while looking at the effect of the necklace on the body.
"But it doesn't quite match your current outfit. How about you go shopping with me later and I'll pick out some accessories that suit your current outfit."
"No, no, no, this is already very expensive." Gwen refused without thinking.
But Felicia didn't give up and still tried to persuade her: "Oh, it's really not valuable at all, it's just some trinkets."
Holm had to wonder if she liked Gwen. After all, even the opposite sex didn't spend so much money to make friends.
But he could feel that Felicia had no bad or strange intentions towards Gwen, she just wanted to be a good sister and good friend with her.
Faced with such a situation, he was even more confused. After thinking about it, he could only think that maybe it was so special for rich people like Felicia to make friends.
Holm was also very happy that Gwen was able to make new good friends and have good sisters and best friends, because he knew that Gwen also longed to have real good friends.
Although he can be regarded as one, he is of the opposite sex after all, so some topics and communication are still impossible to carry out.
Thinking of this, Holm also said something to Gwen and Felicia, and then stood up with the clothes Gwen gave him and prepared to leave, leaving space for them.
When he got up to leave, he made eye contact with Gwen about what he just said, indicating that she didn't need to worry too much.
After the exchange, Holm waved to Gwen, smiled politely with Felicia, and then walked out of the coffee shop.
Chapter 150, Garriott is here again
Looking at Holm's leaving figure, a trace of displeasure flashed in Felicia's eyes.
She actually doesn't like Holm, partly because this guy has a better relationship with Gwen, and she doesn't think there is any simple purpose for a boy to become good friends with a girl. On the other hand, it was because she felt that Holm was a bit too much.
The relationship between this guy and Gwen must not be that simple, because when she came, she saw that their hands were still holding each other.
But when she asked about it, Holm kept the relationship so clean.
Sure enough, men don't have a good thing, Felicia thought in her heart.
"Felicia, do you want something to drink?" Gwen asked Felicia, who was leaning against her, looking at the menu.
After hearing this, Felicia also recovered from secretly cursing Holm, and continued to look at Gwen with a bright smile on her face and replied: "Just a glass of juice."
"So after we drink, why don't we go shopping together? We finally met today. I'm so bored walking around alone~" Felicia said, blinking at Gwen with her big eyes.
Faced with such coquettishness, Gwen could only give in and promised to go shopping with Felicia later.
Seeing the full charm exuding from Felicia, as well as her sometimes lively, sometimes cute, sometimes intellectual and elegant temperament changes, Gwen couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Felicia's personality and temperament allowed her to inadvertently gain a large number of suitors. Although she herself has always been dismissive and even a little disgusted, this also shows that her style is lethal to men. How strong.
Thinking of this, and thinking of what Holm said just now that they were just ordinary friends, Gwen couldn't help biting her lip.
If she was as attractive as Felicia, then Holm probably wouldn't say that, or even if he said that, he definitely wouldn't think so in his heart.
Holm didn't know what kind of waves his always measured words would leave in Gwen's heart.
At this time, he was driving the car and wandering towards home.
"That pretty woman doesn't seem to like you very much," Venom said as he rolled on the passenger seat.
Holm nodded when he heard this and said, "I feel it too. Although she seems very polite and enthusiastic, I can still see the hidden awkwardness and the occasional flash of disgust."
"But that doesn't matter. She is Gwen's friend, not mine, as long as she and Gwen get along well."
"Speaking of which, Gwen is usually very busy. I didn't expect that she could still make friends. Next time we meet, I must ask her how she made friends with that girl named Felicia."
While chatting, Holm also walked near his home.
Just after crossing the street corner, both Venom and Home felt something at the same time, and then Venom returned to Home's body with a whoosh, and Home immediately adjusted his expression and state, pretending to be nonchalant, and drove away Arrive at the parking spot.
"Why are these people here today?" Venom said in his consciousness after returning to Holm's body.
Hearing what it said, Holm was also a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect it either. I thought he would come back in two days. I didn't expect him to be so anxious."
As soon as he turned the corner, he could already feel that there were many people hiding around him. He didn't need to take a closer look at this familiar grand scene to know that this was John Garriott coming to see him again.
Originally, according to his idea, Garriott would probably come to see him again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but he didn't expect to come today, considering that he had just come back today.
So is the mission in Sokovia that important to them? Or is there something new to ask him about?
While thinking about it in his mind, Holm parked the car and went upstairs as if nothing had happened. He didn't even take the clothes and gifts that Gwen gave him.
When he opened the door and walked into his room, he saw Garriott sitting on the sofa, still in a familiar posture, and even his hair style and clothing were still so meticulous.
"Sir! Why are you here! I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting." Holm looked at Garriott and said in surprise and apology.
Although it was not his problem, because Garriott neither told him that he was coming nor sent him a notice, but in this case, as a subordinate, he could only say this to express his attitude.
Sure enough, seeing that Holm's attitude was still so humble, Garriott's eyes also changed subtly.
He pointed to the sofa next to him and asked Holm to sit down and talk as before.
After Holm sat down, he immediately said: "You did a good job in Sokovia. Although there were some changes along the way, you still completed the task successfully."
"Now that Straker is dead, the situation in the Sokovia Hydra is in chaos, and those of us buried inside are gradually taking control of the situation. This is all thanks to your completion of the mission."
Listening to Garriott's praise, Holm lowered his head slightly and said, "I just completed the work I was supposed to do, and it's not something to be proud of."
"Haha, you should be proud." Garriott said with a rare smile: "I saw the results you left there. You did a good job and the killing was very clean."
"Fortunately, it was you who was sent here. Otherwise, anyone else would not even be able to break through the perimeter, and would definitely not be able to complete this mission."
Faced with Garriott's compliment again, Holm continued to respond humbly, and at the same time, he was secretly wary of what this guy was doing this time.
He has never failed in his tasks in the past. It can be said that every one of them was completed perfectly, but he has never said a few words, so there must be a reason for today's abnormality.
Thinking of this, Holm also took out the special camera he carried with him, which contained the photos and some information he had taken.
Originally, he wanted to complete the summary and then submit it to Garriott, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to the door today, so he took the things out directly to avoid having to summarize them again later.
"These are the records I made during the mission. They are just enough for you to review." Holm said as he handed the things to Garriott.
Garnett saw this and took the camera, then put it to his eyes and started looking through it.
After a moment, he also put down the camera, then continued to look at Holm and asked: "By the way, you should have communicated with Straker during the mission, what did you say? Judging from that guy's character, he definitely It's impossible for him to die obediently, he must have said a lot of deceptive things."
Chapter 151, Pierce's Lunch Invitation
Seeing Garriott's slightly sharp eyes falling on him, Holm nodded without any hesitation and responded: "Your understanding of him is correct, he did talk a lot of nonsense before he died. "
Then Holm told Strack's recruitment of him and his evaluation of Pierce. Except for concealing some necessary exchanges, he said everything without changing a word.
Seeing Garriott's face becoming more and more ugly as he told him, although Holm's face remained calm, he was already laughing in his heart.
I don't know how this guy should respond to his opponent's remarks about his immediate boss?
"Actually, I didn't even know who Pierce was, so I immediately attacked Straker after taking advantage of the opportunity to deal with the invisible man."
"He originally wanted to escape through a secret passage when he saw that the situation was bad, but I still broke his neck directly."
As Holm's story ended, Garriott punched the sofa angrily, then gritted his teeth and cursed: "Well done! That damn guy dared to say such words to slander Mr. Pierce! Damn bastard!" He will definitely go to hell!"
After he finished scolding, Garriott also realized that he had lost his composure, so he took a long breath to adjust his breathing.
After adjusting, he explained to Holm, who looked a little confused: "You are right in not listening to that guy's temptation. Everything he said was just farts!"
"Your Excellency Pierce is the current leader of Hydra and our boss. He is not what that damn guy Strucker said. On the contrary, he cherishes talents and values young people very much, so your future must be immeasurable. , it won't be what Struck thought."
Hearing this, Holm quickly nodded and said sincerely: "I understand. I have always been grateful to the organization for cultivating and valuing me. I also believe that I will be able to fully demonstrate my abilities and do more for the organization. , to solve Mr. Pierce's troubles and share your worries."
Listening to Holm's response, Garriott nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your intelligence is what I always like best. The organization needs talents like you."
"Actually, besides the mission, there is another more important thing that comes to you this time."
"I once said that as long as you obey orders well and complete the mission, you will definitely get a chance. Now the chance has come."
When he said this, Garriott also raised a smile, patted Holm on the shoulder and said: "Your ability and excellent performance have been noticed by Mr. Pierce, so after the completion of this mission, He also wants to meet you in person and have lunch with you."
After hearing Garriott's words, Holm's eyes widened instantly, and his heart was full of horror.
This reaction was 70% false and 70% true, because he really didn't expect Pierce to want to see him.
"Is it true? I actually have such an honor," Holm said nervously and excitedly.
Garriott nodded after hearing this and continued to smile: "Of course it's true, so now you should understand better how unbelievable Strack's nonsense is."
"Mr. Pierce has already paid attention to you. As I just said, he attaches great importance to young and capable talents like you. He believes that the future of Hydra and the realization of its great ideals are closely related to you."
"This is really my honor." Holm still couldn't calm down the excitement in time.
After giving Holmlian a few more bowls of chicken soup and talking about how wise, far-sighted and caring Mr. Pierce is, Garriott finally got back to the point.
"Although Mr. Pierce has been very busy recently, he still found time at noon next Wednesday, that is, four days later. I will send you the address then, and you can just go there."
"I understand, thank you sir for your love and support, and thank you, Mr. Pierce, for your appreciation of me." Holm said sincerely.
Inquiring about the mission and informing Pierce that he wanted to see Holm were the two main things Garriott did when he came here today.
After these two things were done, he didn't stay any longer and left after saying a word to Holm.
Just after Garriott left, Holm also lay on his back on the sofa and thought quietly.
After knowing and understanding the purpose of Garriott's coming here, Holm finally understood why Garriott praised him abnormally today.
It seemed that Pierce's invitation to have dinner with him was indeed a very important signal, and it actually made Garriott, who had always been unsmiling, soften his attitude in a rare way.
Thinking about Garrett's curse on Straker just now, Holm couldn't help but want to laugh. It was rare to see Garrett being so rude. He must have done this so that he could be more confident when reporting to his superiors later. Express your attitude well.
This matter should eventually be reported to Pierce, so what Strack said will eventually reach Pierce's ears. I don't know what Pierce himself thinks of Strack's evaluation.
"Hey, I can finally see that this old guy doesn't have a straight face anymore. He used to drag him to death every time he came here, as if someone owed him money. It made people uncomfortable to watch. Sooner or later, he would bite his head off. "Venom was also complaining in Holm's consciousness at this time.
When Holm heard this, he also smiled and said, "It's indeed rare. It's also the first time I've seen it."
After finishing speaking, Holm continued thoughtfully: "Although what that guy Strack said is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed not unreasonable."
"I don't know what impact his words will have on my future, or whether they will change the views and plans of Pierce and Hydra executives towards me."
"Just like I am guarding against them, they should also be guarding against me. After all, my knife is too sharp. If they don't control it well, they may hurt themselves."
"But they probably wouldn't be willing to leave me alone. After all, I've performed very well so far."
"Thinking about it this way, I feel a little bit headache for them, hahaha."
Listening to Holm's analysis and thoughts, Venom lay on the sofa cushions next to the goods nonchalantly and said, "Why do you keep thinking so much? If you dare to target us, you will probably kill them all directly."
"Whether it's Mr. Pierce or Garriott, as long as we kill them all when the time comes, we won't have such troubles."
"Hehe, I'm a little excited when I think about the possibility of having so many snacks."
Chapter 152, Scumbag Holm
New York City, a bustling area in the center of Manhattan, where a luxury apartment building stands.
The people living here are young and old, men and women. Although everyone is different, one thing they have in common is that they are rich and live a good life.
There are only two households on one floor here, and the entrance doors are separated at both ends and staggered to ensure the privacy of the residents to the greatest extent.
2601, this is the only resident on the 26th floor. Sunlight shines in from the large floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling on the floor sofa in the living room and the big bed in the bedroom.
There is still half a bottle of unfinished red wine on the coffee table in the living room. The liquid in the red wine glass has dried up, and there are a few bright red lip prints on the rim of the glass, which looks very fragrant and tempting.
In the bathroom not far from the living room, the sound of rustling water was constantly ringing. Through the light and hazy glass, you could vaguely see the figures inside.
The tall figure and exquisite figure look even more attractive under the illumination of light and shadow. The slender legs are intertwined from time to time, making people want to explore them.
After a while, the sound of water stopped, and after a rustling sound, a beautiful figure walked out of the bathroom.
Felicia wiped her long, silky pale golden hair with a towel while sitting casually on the sofa in the living room.
Because there were still residual water drops on her body that had not been wiped clean, the silk nightgown on her body was somewhat clinging to her skin, revealing her delicate and fair skin, wrapping her round and plump body, perfectly reflecting What does it mean that small branches bear fruit, but the buttocks are raised and the legs are still long?
After wiping her hair, she purred and lay on the sofa like a cat, stretching her body lazily.
Her hands were stretched above her head, and her slender white legs were folded on the sofa cushions, accidentally revealing her fair and round skin and a hint of spring hidden under her long silk skirt.
"Holm Clint, that mysterious stinky man! I really don't understand what Gwen thinks. It's just that he has a handsome face and a better figure." Felicia frowned in displeasure. He frowned and muttered to himself.
Because she had seen many disgusting and dirty men in the past, Felicia had always been disgusted with men.
In addition, his mother is a successful and successful woman, and his father has not been with her since childhood due to some special reasons, so she does not feel the need to find a man.
Felicia neither likes men nor those stupid women who have no brains. This also leads to Felicia not having any friends since she was a child. Although many people are surrounding her, she still doesn't like any of them.
It wasn't until Gwen appeared in her field of vision that her heart, which had been silent for many years, finally began to stir, because she was sure that Gwen was the kind of good friend she was looking for, not to mention that they had many similarities.
In addition to being smart enough and mentally strong enough, they also have their own special features and secrets that need to be hidden.
Such similarities will make them get better soon. Although Gwen will always be timid due to past experiences, Felicia, who is active and lively by nature, will always take the initiative to make their relationship better. The better come.
Gwen cherished this hard-won friendship, and Felicia did the same, so she scrutinized Holm strictly and gave Holm a big cross after contacting him.
As a bystander, she knew very well the current state of Gwen and Holm. Gwen had obviously fallen in love with Holm, and they should have made some special progress, so Gwen asked her where the best custom-made suits were. Okay, so that's why she saw them holding hands tightly that day.
Felicia doesn't like men, but Gwen has her own hobbies, so even though she doesn't like them, she supports her in pursuing her love.
But compared to Gwen's performance, Holm's appearance really disappointed her. Although his outstanding appearance would make anyone's eyes brighten when he saw it, the words of clarification and Gwen's slightly disappointed eyes were directly related to her. Let Felicia sentence him to death.
While they were shopping in the afternoon, Felicia also asked Gwen about Holm and how they met.
Gwen didn't go into too much detail about her work. She only said that Holm was a government agent and the nature of his work was quite special.
But when talking about the process of their acquaintance, Gwen's eyes were full of memories and smiles, and she was obviously very happy.
After seeing Gwen's reaction, Felicia's disgust for Holm became even deeper, so he was determined to expose Holm's true face so that Gwen could wake up from this dazed love as soon as possible and recognize the truth. The nature of these stinky men.
"Holm Clint, I must expose you as a scumbag. Although this may make Gwen a little sad, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. I can't let you deceive Gwen's feelings anymore." Felicy As Ya thought, he clenched his fist and hammered the sofa, as if Holm was the sofa cushion underneath.
At this moment, the alarm clock placed on the coffee table also started to ring. After hearing it, Felicia reached out her hand to press it, then looked at the time and said to herself: "It's already ten o'clock. Now, I think Gwen must have started to be active in the city again."
"I'm going to go play with her. Gwen Stacy is no longer alone, and Spider-Woman can't be alone either." Felicia stood up as she spoke, crossing her long, white legs. Then walked towards the bedroom.
As she walked, the silk pajamas on her body gradually slipped off, revealing a tall, slender, plump and tempting white body. Under the cold moonlight, this body seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, holy and charming. .
A moment later, when she walked out of the bedroom again, she had already put on a special black tights and a lace eye mask.
"The one who is going to appear now is the black cat." Felicia said as she stretched out her slender fingers to comb her hair.
As she moved, her originally pale golden hair suddenly began to change color, turning into silvery white like the rough edges on the collar and cuffs of her tights.
At the same time, her whole temperament has also undergone tremendous changes, from the original intellectual elegance and grace to a hot, sexy and extremely dangerous one.
If this scene hadn't happened continuously, no one would have thought it was the same person. After all, how could one person show such two different states?
"Well~ I like the moonlight tonight, I hope it can bring me good luck." Felicia held the railing of the balcony and looked at the bright moon in the sky, and then turned over and jumped after finishing her words.
Chapter 153, Spider Woman and Black Cat
In the coffee shop, Holm and Gwen sat in their usual seats as they had done a few days ago, chatting together in front of the computer.
Gwen was explaining the company's plan and future development direction to Holm, and Holm was listening and nodding. He didn't know whether he understood or not, but nodding was correct.
"I think your plan is very good. Just follow what you said. You can use the same card as you need as much as you need." After Gwen finished explaining, Holm also took a sip of coffee and said.
Gwen also put away the computer after hearing this, then looked at Holm suspiciously and said, "Are you sure you understand? Why do I feel like you don't quite understand? This is not a small matter, it involves a lot of money. "
"Ahem." Realizing that he had been seen through, Holm coughed a few times and explained: "Actually, it doesn't matter, as long as you have an idea, it's okay if you think it's okay."
"Although I can provide some creativity and ideas, I really don't know much about these plans and developments."
"The most important thing for a person is to be self-aware and do what you are good at, so I am good at giving money and you are good at spending money. Isn't this great?"
The more Holm talked, the more he felt that he made sense. The slight embarrassment of being seen through instantly disappeared, and he became more confident again.
After hearing Holm's reasons, Gwen rolled her eyes at him helplessly: "You always have your own reasons. But thank you for trusting me so much."
"Why are you so polite? It's not the first time we meet new friends." Regarding Gwen's thanks, Holm also said straightforwardly: "And even if there is no relationship between us, the dignified Spider-Woman should also You won't take the money and run away."
Listening to Holm's words getting more and more outrageous, all of a sudden the sentimental atmosphere was broken. Gwen also glared at him angrily and said: "How do you know I don't know it? I will buy a ticket to travel around the world in a moment. !"
Facing Gwen's somewhat annoyed look, Holm continued to smile and said: "It doesn't matter, you also know what my career is. If you really buy a ticket to travel around the world, I guarantee that we will be able to travel everywhere. A chance encounter."
Hearing this, Gwen didn't know what she was thinking of. The anger on her face gradually disappeared, and instead she smiled and said, "Then I hope you can really do what you say."
While they were talking, the rolling advertisements ended on the big screen in the square outside and the midday news began.
After the Daily Bugle logo appeared on the screen, the Daily Bugle boss James, whom they were very familiar with, appeared.
He was still frowning slightly, with a serious and serious look on his face. As his bearded lips continued to tremble, a series of energetic announcements started to sound on the screen.
"Okay, dear viewers, the daily news broadcast is over. Let us pay attention to the recent hot news. Your old friend James will still let you fully understand the recent hot events."
". Speaking of recent hot events, I have to mention that annoying wall-crawler. Recently, this wall-crawler is still active in the city every day. It is called fighting criminals, but in fact it is Endangering public safety and disrupting social order."
"In the past, whenever I said something like this, some people would always think that I was being alarmist, but now I would like to ask these people to listen carefully to the incident I am about to report, because this incident supports my point of view. Proving the dangers of this wall-crawler."
"In recent days, a strange thief who calls himself Black Cat has begun to appear in New York City. Her methods are strange and superb, and she has stolen several pieces of jewelry from several jewelry stores."
"What's so annoying is that not only did this thief not think there was anything wrong with his behavior, but his attitude was extremely arrogant. He even left a card next to the stolen jewelry, saying that he would take it back to appreciate it for a few days before returning it. .Such behavior completely treats laws and regulations as child's play and seriously harms social and public order."
"The police have launched an investigation, but have obtained very few clues. So far, they can only confirm that the thief is a female."
"I have always said that the situation in New York City is getting worse and worse under the influence of Spider-Woman. Special criminals are emerging one after another, and now such a high-profile and cunning criminal has appeared."
"Furthermore, based on her female identity and the interaction between her and Spider-Woman photographed by our reporter, it can be reasonably inferred that this thief Black Cat must be closely related to Spider-Woman, and is most likely an admirer of Spider-Woman. ."
When James said this, several photos were cut out of the news broadcast. Although these photos were relatively blurry, you could still see Spider-Woman and another person wearing tights and eye patches, covering their faces. A woman with half a face and a hot body.
They looked like they were chasing each other, but the woman named Black Cat didn't have any fear on her face. Instead, she was very happy and enjoying herself.
After the photo was played for a few seconds, it cut back to James' stinky face. He was still angrily bombarding Spider-Woman and the rogue Black Cat, and even scolded the municipal police department.
"Now that such a similar thief black cat has appeared, do you still think my words are groundless?"
"After talking about the crimes of this wall crawler, I have to mention our police system again. Their low efficiency and perfunctory attitude are simply outrageous! Not only are they wasting taxpayers' money, but they are also completely ignoring Despite the humiliation of the thief Black Cat, I am still content and go my own way."
Listening to James' voice echoing through the glass in his ears, Holm also looked at Gwen opposite, and then asked softly: "What's going on with this new thief black cat? You look like you haven't had a good rest. Because of her?"
Hearing Holm's words, Gwen seemed to have recalled something. She sighed first, then nodded slightly tiredly and said, "It's because of this guy. To be honest, I don't even know what she wants to do." ."
"Say she committed a crime. All the jewelry she took was returned without exception. But if you say she didn't commit a crime, she did cause a lot of trouble to those jewelry stores."
"And this guy seems to be very happy every time he sees me. I don't know what is so happy about him."
"She is really like a cat, quick and unpredictable. Every time she is almost caught, she finds a chance to run away."
Chapter 154, Pierce's Lunch
Gwen told Holm about her interaction with the black cat, and Holm was also a little confused after hearing the series of experiences.
To say that she is a vicious criminal is not really true. After all, she has never done anything like robbery, and the jewelry will be returned after being stolen.
So overall she is not considered a criminal, but more like she acted on a whim because of her own interests.
"Has the person who spied on you done anything recently?" Holm asked again the question they had exchanged with each other a few days ago.
Gwen also shook his head when he heard this and said, "No, that feeling has never happened in the past few days."
Hearing Gwen's words, Holm was also a little surprised. What happened to this guy? He just thought about how to deal with him and then he didn't show up. Did he react so quickly? But they haven't done anything yet.
After thinking about it, Holm continued: "Then we should follow our original agreement and stop quietly."
"Well, I will continue to pay attention." Gwen nodded.
Then they continued chatting for a while, and Holm's cell phone suddenly rang.
Holm looked at the text message sent, then raised his head and said to Gwen, and left the coffee shop.
Looking at the garbled text message sent, he also successfully interpreted the information contained in it in his mind.
The text message was sent by Garriott. The content first told him that the meeting time with Pierce had been advanced, and then sent him an address and told him to arrive at the address in an hour. .
After reading the message, Holm deleted it directly and then drove towards the dots recorded on the map.
He was about to meet the boss of Hydra, but he was not very nervous, but rather curious.
He also has some impressions of the so-called Pierce. In his memory, he is the villain of Captain America 2. Although he is not the confirmed leader, he is also a big figure in Hydra.
As a result, he didn't expect that Pierce was indeed the supreme leader of Hydra in this world, and he didn't know how it would be different from the image in his memory.
Holm parked the car steadily on the side of the road. Not far from him was the address Garriott had just sent him, an extremely luxurious villa with unique decoration.
"It's so rich. I will buy one for myself in the future." Looking at the mansion in front of him, Holm also thought to himself.
While he was standing at the door, a serious-faced butler in black also stepped forward to help him open the door and lead him over there.
After passing through a large lawn and outdoor swimming pool, Holm also arrived at the door of the villa.
The building door of the villa looks ordinary and nothing special, but it has several strict and private certification processes.
After the black-clothed butler completed the authentication, he opened the door and continued walking inside with Holm.
He did not take Holm to the living room or study room, but to the open kitchen connected to the garden on the first floor.
At this time, there was a middle-aged man in front of the kitchen stove with his back to them. With the sound of Slassla, the thick-bottomed pot in his hand began to burst into flames.
"Your Excellency Pierce, your guest has arrived." The butler in black bent down and said to the middle-aged man inside.
After hearing the butler's words, Pierce did not look back, but continued to work in front of the stove, while shouting to them: "I understand, you go down first."
"Mr. Clint, come and get the plate for me. The steak is about to be cooked."
After hearing Pierce's words, the butler bowed again and left. Holm looked at the two large white plates placed on the dining table, then picked them up and walked to Pierce's side.
"You're lucky. Today's steak was cooked just right. Yesterday I took a call and forgot to check the fire, so I ended up eating a piece of coke, hahaha." Pierce smiled as he took out the steak from the pot and placed it on a plate. Put a piece in it.
After placing the steak, he continued while stirring the small pot on the stove next to him: "I used fresh white onions and reserved red wine for today's sauce. Do you smell the aroma?"
"Yes, the fragrance is indeed very mellow." Holm nodded in response after hearing this.
However, unlike Pierce's relaxed and carefree speech, there was still some tension and restraint in Holm's voice.
So after hearing Holm's standard answer, Pierce turned his head and looked at him, and then smiled very kindly and said: "Haha, don't be so nervous, this is at home, just relax."
"Yes." Holm nodded, but did not relax.
Pierce didn't say anything when he saw this, he just continued to pour the cooked sauce on the steak and the side dishes with a smile.
"Okay, today's lunch was perfect, it's time to start dinner." Pierce nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the two steaks in Holm's hand.
After hearing this, Holm also put the steak on the dining table, and then helped Pierce pull out the chair.
After taking his seat, Pierce first pointed to the chair next to him, signaling Holm to sit down quickly, then picked up the red wine on the table, poured two glasses respectively, and handed one of the glasses to Holm.
"Drink more, don't waste the remaining wine." Pierce said with a smile.
Holm also quickly took the glass of wine, then raised his head and drank the dark red wine in one gulp.
Looking at Holm's actions, Pierce also smiled and shook his head, as if he felt a pity that Holm didn't taste the wine carefully, but he was also pleased because of Holm's straightforwardness and obedience.
"Eat it and try my handiwork." Pierce said to Holm while cutting the meat on his plate.
Holm nodded when he heard this, then lowered his head and started cutting the steak.
He controlled the force of the knife very well and could cut the steak quickly without making too much noise.
Pierce also noticed his little skill, and there was a faint appreciation in his eyes.
They ate the steak quietly like this. After taking a few bites, Pierce also raised his eyes and looked at Holm, who was more relaxed but still a little nervous and said: "The situation in Sokovia has been very chaotic these two days. Not only are there disputes within our branch, there is also turmoil within their own country."
"Our people just sent me the latest news about Sokovia. The unrest in the branch has gradually subsided. After the chaos of the past few days, someone has integrated the power of the Sokovia Hydra."
"Is he one of ours?" Holm asked when Pierce paused.
Faced with his question, Pierce just shook his head and said: "It's not one of ours, it's Baron Strucker."
Chapter 155, Chicken Soup and Flatbread
"Baron Strucker? This is impossible. I have broken his neck. There is no possibility that he will be resurrected!"
Holm almost thought that he was hallucinating. Baron Strucker was obviously dead and could not die anymore, so how could he appear again.
But seeing that Pierce still looked normal, he immediately realized that there must be something hidden inside.
Sure enough, seeing Holm losing his composure, Pierce also wiped his mouth with a smile and said: "Don't be so nervous, you have completed your task very well. This Baron Strax is not the one you have to deal with."
"Baron Strucker is a title that can be inherited. The one who inherits this title now is Wolfgang's son, Werner Strucker."
"This child has not had a very good relationship with his father since he was a child, and he has never known these things about Hydra and his father."
"Originally, I was thinking of helping our own people up after getting rid of Wolfgang, but I didn't expect those people to use such a trick."
"But it doesn't matter. The Sokovia branch has been inherited for many years and has been controlled by Baron Strucker for generations. Therefore, their power is deeply rooted. Even if our people forcefully control the situation, it will not have much effect."
"It's okay now. Warner, a kid, has never been exposed to these things, so he can be a good mascot. Our people will give him corresponding respect, but they will also ignore him. In this way, Sock The Via branch is still in our hands."
Listening to Pierce's story, Holm also understood the current situation in Sokovia, and then said in a deep voice: "I understand, if the new Baron Strucker is disobedient, I can also send him to meet his father. ."
"I see your outstanding abilities and your loyalty to the organization." Pierce continued with a smile: "The future belongs to you young people."
"Now you are well-known in SHIELD, and you are doing very well. Hiding SHIELD is your long-term mission. As long as you can continue to penetrate into the top management, if something happens in the future, you will be the new SHIELD." Director."
"After a few years of being a director, you can join Congress and become a member of Congress. With the help of an organization, you will make rapid progress."
"Now you are the most dazzling new star of our Hydra. The organization has not seen a talent like you for a long time, so we will definitely train you vigorously."
"As long as you work hard, my present will be your future, and your future may even be more dazzling than mine."
"Each leader of Hydra leads Hydra to a higher level based on the work of his predecessors. I am looking forward to where you will ultimately take our organization if you become the leader of Hydra."
With just a few words, Pierce prepared several large bowls of chicken soup for Holm, which contained a bright and bright future.
Some of these futures are within reach, while others require hard work to envision, but it is undeniable that their effects are very good, and they seem to have directly confused Holm.
"I will definitely continue to work hard, sir, don't worry!" Holm stood up and looked at Pierce with some uncontrollable excitement, his eyes full of expectations and longing for a better future.
"Hahaha, I told you not to be so formal, sit down quickly." Pierce smiled and waved his hand for him to sit down.
"The future belongs to you young people, so don't be afraid of not having a chance. As long as your abilities are outstanding enough, you will never be buried."
"As a member of Hydra, all we have to do is work hard to achieve the goal of controlling the world. One day, the future and the world will be in our hands."
"Yes!" Holm looked at Pierce with admiration and excitement, and his blood seemed to be boiling because of his words.
After finishing the chicken soup and painting the pie, Pierce calmed down a little and continued to chat with Holm over the meal. During the occasional conversation, he also inadvertently exuded the majesty of the leader of Hydra, making his image in Holm's eyes. Mu's mind is more three-dimensional.
Pierce is very satisfied with the way Holm behaves. For him, no one can be controlled and exploited.
And someone like Holm who is capable and resourceful, ambitious and easily satisfied, and the most important thing is someone who is willing to drink soup, eat cake, and listen to his deception, he can use this kind of person for the rest of his life.
Just looking at Holm's appearance, it's hard to imagine that he would be so powerful and have the ability to break through the Sokovia branch and attack Baron Strucker alone.
However, it is precisely this contrast and mismatch that allows Hydra to continue to use Holm's sharp blade with confidence. Otherwise, if Holm were more cruel and smart, they would not dare to keep him for too long.
Happy times always come in a hurry. An hour later, Holm, who was sent to the door by the black-clad butler, bowed respectfully to Pierce in the distance before turning around and leaving.
Pierce watched him leave with a smile on his face, and his smile gradually disappeared until Holm drove out of his sight.
He looked at the direction where Holm left, his eyes flickering thoughtfully. After a moment, he waved to the black-clad butler and said, "Has the institute's plan been released? I need a powerful weapon that can restrain his weaknesses."
Upon hearing Pierce's question, the black-clothed butler immediately said: "The latest news has just been sent, saying that there is already a plan. Based on the existing data, it is speculated that after the weapon is manufactured, he can definitely be restrained."
Listening to the black-clothed butler's reply, Pierce nodded slightly. After a moment, he continued to give instructions: "Weapons alone are not enough. No matter how good the weapons are, they must be used by outstanding warriors."
"After the weapon is made, wake up the Winter Soldier and let him get familiar with it. If there is any unexpected situation, he must dispatch it as soon as possible."
"Understood." The butler in black nodded.
After a moment of silence, he tentatively looked at Pierce next to him and asked softly: "Is his performance not good enough today? Sir."
Judging from his observations today, Holm can definitely be regarded as a model of Hydra brainwashing. It can be said that he is the shape of Hydra from the inside out, without any mistakes.
Hearing the question from the black-clad butler, Pierce quietly looked at the clouds in the distance and said softly: "He did perform very well, but he also performed too well."
"Although we can't see any problems yet, it's always better to be prepared. Although this sharp blade doesn't seem to hurt your hand at all now, who knows in the future?"
"He looks like a good dog, but a good dog also needs to have a chain around its neck and a sharp knife at all times."
Chapter 156, Kitten Thief
On the other side, Holm, who had already driven away, also tore off his tie and threw it into the passenger seat.
Venom also came out of his body at this time, and ran to the passenger seat to play with his tie.
"That old guy really thinks of us as fools who don't understand anything. His words are so nice, it's really funny." Venom said with disdain.
At this time, Holm also smiled indifferently: "This shows that our disguised personality is indeed effective."
"But that old fox is not so easily deceived, and no matter how good I behave, he will definitely still be on guard."
"The biggest use of doing this now is to reduce our threat and buy us more time."
Having said this, Holm also thought about the bright future that Pierce had just told him, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the congressman, and the future leader of Hydra. It was all nonsense.
All I can say is that this cake is too big, almost boundless.
Holm really wants to be the leader of Hydra and the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. He wants to control these two organizations so that they can be used for his own benefit, but he will not wait for others' appreciation and charity. Everything is slowly under control.
It is because he is powerful and his appearance is easier to control, that's why the Pierce I saw today is so kind.
What would be wrong with being the leader of Hydra? He was sure that for ordinary agents, Pierce would never have such a kind face.
Because in the Hydra organization, threats and manipulation are the mainstream methods. Holm can see this side of Pierce because of his strength and his specialness.
"I don't want to think about these things anymore. Let's follow the plan step by step. I will have to wear this fool-like mask for a while, but one day I will take it off and throw it hard on the faces of these old guys." Holm said in a deep voice.
Listening to his words, Venom in the passenger seat also laughed strangely and said: "Hehe! We are the strongest! We are now, and we will be even more so in the future!"
With Venom and Home complementing each other, Venom is slowly evolving because of Home's special abilities, and Home has become stronger and more powerful because of Venom.
So what it just said was not just a boast, but it really believed that Home and it would become the strongest existence.
In this way, Holm drove home while chatting with Venom, but he received a call from Coulson midway, so he had to change his plan and go to SHIELD again.
By the time he finished all his work, it was getting dark, so he ate something outside and then continued to wander home.
As he drove close to his home, he sensed something unusual at home, so he frowned slightly and parked the car not far away.
There was someone in his family, and it was probably not from Garriott. This had never happened before, which surprised him.
"Where did this little thief come from? Did he steal everything into my house?" Holm said to himself, and at the same time he took steps and began to approach silently.
At Holm's house, Felicia dressed as a black cat was lying on his bed and looking carefully, as if she wanted to find some clues.
"It shouldn't be! I clearly saw that that guy was very close to that girl. Why is there no trace of a woman in this house? It seems that we are looking in the wrong direction. We should be following that woman." Felicia said to herself He muttered to himself.
"This guy hides so well. Hey, Gwen probably doesn't know that girl exists yet. I can't imagine how sad she would be if she found out. Damn scumbag!"
"I don't know when this guy will come back? I have to leave early before he comes back, but I can't let him find anything unusual."
While speaking, she also stood up, looked around the room with some disappointment, and then prepared to leave quietly through the window.
But before she could leave, a figure jumped up at the window she regarded as the exit.
Holm looked at Felicia in the room in surprise, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled coldly: "Are you leaving now? No more searching?"
"I really didn't expect that the black cat that has become famous these days would come to my house looking for something. I don't remember when I bought jewelry, or maybe you came here for other reasons."
Seeing that Holm had blocked her way, and his tone was very unkind, Felicia also snorted and said: "Hmph! Do you think you can keep me? Even if you are a government agent, you are still a little bit You look down on people too much."
"Different from ordinary people like you, I am a different being."
While speaking, Felicia rushed towards Holm suddenly, with sharp claws popping out from her fingertips.
Looking at the black cat charging towards him, Holm raised the corners of his mouth with interest and raised his hand to show the black cat what a real sharp claw was.
But before they could make contact, Felicia had already flipped her palm and threw a small smoke bomb at Holm.
As the smoke bomb exploded, white smoke instantly filled the entire space, blocking not only Holm's sight but also Felicia's figure.
The moment the smoke exploded, she first moved left and right to avoid Holm's sudden attack, and then rushed directly in one direction using the map in her mind and her excellent sense of direction.
If she remembered correctly, this should be the window. She wanted to rush out of the window and leave here.
That's right, the cruel words she just said were not really intended to fight with Holm, but to mislead Holm and then slip out of the window.
She actually came here to find evidence of Holm's cheating and let Gwen recognize his true face.
Unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, there was no trace at all. It was so clean that it was a bit ridiculous.
After being blocked, Felicia originally had the idea of teaching Holm a lesson, but thinking about his identity as an agent and the firearms he carried, she finally decided not to cause too much trouble for herself.
If Holm just keeps eyeing her and is as disgusting as the boss of the Daily Bugle, how can she happily post with Spider-Woman every day in the future.
A good man never suffers immediate losses. Next time, she will definitely be prepared to teach Holm a lesson and reveal his true colors as a scumbag.
She decided to always have a camera with her, and when she saw Holm talking and laughing in the car with other women again, she would take a photo and show it to Gwen.
Passing through the thick smoke, everything suddenly became clear. Seeing the moon and stars outside, Felicia knew that she had rushed out of the room.
