Miller Field felt a chill down his spine, as if the empty coffin contained his own remains.
Others might not know the internal situation of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, but Miller Field was perfectly clear.
Kenny Davis, who had wanted to compete with Lynn for the supervisor position, was assassinated.
After Lynn became the supervisor, Alan Maxi, who had sided with Supervisor Jessica, died this time from a package bomb from the Yamaguchi-gumi.
The deaths of these two 'enemies' of Lynn all seemed like accidents, but Miller Field felt there weren't so many coincidences in the World.
Although there was no evidence, Miller firmly believed that Lynn Hall was behind all these events.
It was even possible that Lynn was not uninvolved in Deputy Director Colin's death in Los Angeles.
After all, Lynn had just gone to Los Angeles when the Deputy Director was killed by a black man.
Thinking of this, Miller Field felt a bit fortunate that he had chosen to side with Lynn Hall without hesitation when he saw there was no hope of becoming a supervisor.
Now it seemed his decision back then was correct; not only did he avoid the fate of the other two guys, but he also became the Deputy Director of internal affairs!
So, was he considered Lynn's person now?
Thinking of this, Miller Field looked up at Director James Duke, then fell into deep thought once more.
Hmm... when Lynn becomes Deputy Director in the future, if Director Duke blocks Lynn's promotion, maybe he too will die from 'murder'?
“Hey, what are you thinking about?”
Looking at Miller Field, who was lost in thought, Lynn patted his shoulder.
“Ah? Oh, nothing, nothing!”
Seeing Lynn, Miller Field immediately shook his head.
“Do you feel Alan’s death is a pity? Indeed, he dedicated so many years to the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, yet he never even became Deputy Director before being targeted and killed by the Yamaguchi-gumi.”
Saying this, Lynn took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and offered one to Miller.
Taking the cigarette, Miller lit it and took a few puffs, then suddenly looked at Lynn and asked, “Lynn, am I considered an 'insider' now?”
“What are you talking about?”
Watching Miller hesitantly ask this question, Lynn Hall smiled, “You are now the Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, so of course you are part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
“Lynn, you should know that’s not what I mean.”
Looking up at Lynn, Miller Field asked with a very sincere attitude.
Facing Miller’s sincere attitude, Lynn exhaled a puff of smoke, then smiled, “Miller, you know I always like to be good to people.”
“So whether you can become an insider doesn’t depend on me, but on yourself.”
Patting Miller’s shoulder, Lynn stomped out his cigarette butt, then turned and left.
“Phew”
Watching Lynn leave, Miller let out a long sigh of relief.
Although Lynn always smiled very gently, Miller Field felt immense pressure from him.
“Insider”
After muttering a few words, Miller Field took a deep breath, then stomped out his cigarette butt, having made up his mind.
“Boss, do you mean I can also take a vacation during this time?”
Hearing Lynn say he was preparing to take a vacation starting tomorrow, to relax in Eastern Europe for a while.
Barbara immediately put down her tablet and asked, “Boss, are you taking me to Eastern Europe with you?”
Polaris and Laura, who were beside her, also looked at Lynn.
“That depends on what you think.”
Looking at the three people in the office, Lynn smiled, “This trip to Eastern Europe, I’m planning to relax, you don’t have to stick by me.”
“I have to go to Britain!”
Hearing Lynn’s words, Barbara was the first to speak, “Boss, I also want to go to Eastern Europe with you for a vacation, but I heard my father say that our Kent family still has some relatives in Britain.”
“It’s just that for these years, because of our Mutant identity, we haven’t dared to step into Britain.”
“But it’s different now, I’m now a part of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, so I want to take my father to Britain!”
At this point, Barbara winked at Lynn and said, “Our Kent family used to be British nobility, you know!”
Hearing Barbara say this, Lynn nodded, “Of course, no problem. What about Lorna and Laura?”
“I’m staying in New York!”
Facing Lynn’s inquiry, Laura immediately said, “Lynn, the Illuminati still needs me. I need to be at my computer, constantly observing where cases are happening in New York, and providing timely information to Spider-Man and Spider-Woman!”
Lynn was not surprised by Laura’s choice.
Ever since he formed the Illuminati, Laura seemed to have found a true sense of belonging, caring more about the Illuminati than he did himself!
Meanwhile, Polaris looked extremely hesitant.
She wanted to go to Eastern Europe with Lynn, but she couldn't leave her best friend behind.
Noticing Lorna’s hesitation, Lynn gently ruffled her hair and said, “You stay in New York too. If support is needed, you can help at the first instance!”
“Mm!”
Hearing Lynn’s arrangement, Lorna nodded gently.
“Alright, girls, today is our last day of work. Starting tomorrow, we can enjoy a month-long paid vacation!”
Returning to his seat, Lynn announced with a smile.
Eastern Europe, inside the HYDRA Base in Sokovia.
“Failed again!”
Watching the test subject die once more, Strucker took off his glasses and said, “Where exactly did it go wrong?”
“It’s not clear yet.”
Facing Baron Strucker’s inquiry, the research scientist in a white coat beside him shook his head, “I believe it might be because during the energy conversion process in the equipment, the converted energy cannot be absorbed by the test subject, leading to experiment failure.”
“Baron, if we had a stable and continuous energy source, then the success rate of the experiment might be higher!”
“Like the Tesseract!”
Facing the research scientist’s explanation, Baron Strucker shook his head, “Forget it, the Tesseract has always been studied by S.H.I.E.L.D., for which they even specifically built a dark matter research Base.”
“Think of other ways. After S.H.I.E.L.D. finishes their investigation, you can go to Big Head’s place to see if there are any energy alternatives!”
Hearing Baron Strucker say this, the research scientist shrugged, “Perhaps Mr. Murdoch doesn’t have any good methods either.”
Just as he was speaking, Strucker’s phone rang.
Looking at the caller, Strucker left the laboratory before answering.
“Baron Strucker, Lynn has arrived in Sokovia. Get ready on your end, he will cooperate with you to play out this act.”
Hearing James Duke’s words, Baron Strucker said, “I understand, Duke, I’m ready here, but are you sure Lynn Hall won’t be suspected by S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents?”
“Haha, don’t worry, Strucker, if Lynn can’t handle those S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, then Alexander Pierce and I have wasted our time!”
Facing the confident James Duke, Strucker nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Strucker waved to a subordinate beside him.
Once the subordinate ran over, Strucker said, “Find two new faces to approach Lynn Hall. Do nothing else beyond what I’ve arranged.”
“Also, after the matter is over, invite Lynn to be our guest at our Base!”
“Yes, Leader, I think the new twin siblings who just joined us would be quite suitable.”
“Then go arrange it!”
“Yes, Leader!”
After nodding, the subordinate immediately went to make arrangements.
In the city of Sokovia.
At this moment, Lynn was like a true vacationing traveler, constantly sampling the scenery and cuisine of the city of Sokovia.
At noon, inside a restaurant with strong local characteristics.
“Hello, do you mind if we share a table?”
Appearing in front of Lynn Hall with food, Wanda and Pietro smiled and asked.
“Of course not.”
Smiling, Lynn Hall made an inviting gesture, signaling Wanda and Pietro to make themselves comfortable.
“Thank you!”
Sitting opposite Lynn, Wanda ate her lunch and asked with a smile, “Are you traveling in Sokovia?”
“What do you think of the city of Sokovia? Although it just went through war not long ago, it’s very characteristic of Eastern Europe.”
Looking at Wanda and Pietro in front of him, who were only about sixteen years old, they were talking to him with a smile, but their words were slightly nervous, and even the action of showing the HYDRA brooch was a bit deliberate.
Lynn smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve observed, the restaurant is almost all ordinary people, no one will notice us!”
Hearing Lynn say this, Wanda’s nervous emotions finally relaxed a little.
She and Pietro hadn’t been with HYDRA for long, only about two and a half months until now.
She hadn’t expected their first mission to come so quickly.
Even more unexpectedly, the target for this mission’s rendezvous was actually the hero in the hearts of the American people on TV?
Oh my goodness, he’s actually from the same organization as them?
Could he also be from Sokovia? Or has the organization’s capability already expanded to the United States?
“How long have you two been with the organization?”
Looking at Wanda and Pietro in front of him, Lynn asked with a smile.
“Two and a half months!”
Wanda didn't hide anything from Lynn’s inquiry.
As for Pietro, he said, “I didn’t expect you to be one of us too. Wanda and I even saw you on TV. Oh, Mr. Lynn Hall, Baron Strucker asked me to tell you that everything is ready.”
“The organization’s people in Sokovia have all withdrawn, and the bait has been cast. As for how to proceed, you can decide for yourself.”
“Also…”
Before Pietro could finish speaking, Lynn smiled and interrupted, “You two are about sixteen or seventeen, right?”
“16!”
Facing Lynn’s question, Wanda replied.
“Sixteen, that should still be school age. From your behavior, you are ‘white-collar’ and not trained by the organization from a young age, so why did you join the organization?”
Pretending not to know their past, Lynn asked with a smile.
Regarding Lynn’s probing, Wanda lowered her head and ate her lunch without speaking.
Pietro, however, frowned and said, “Mr. Lynn Hall, is this part of the mission?”
“Of course not, it’s just small talk during lunch. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to answer me. Also, you can just call me Lynn.”
Looking at Lynn’s very gentle smile, Pietro was silent for a few seconds, then told Lynn the reason.
“You are a hero in the hearts of the American people, and a high-ranking official, so of course you wouldn’t understand the pain Wanda and I went through after all this, which is why you can speak so lightly…”
“You’re wrong about that!”
Before Pietro could finish, Lynn smiled, “In fact, I’m also an orphan. Before I was adopted at six, I grew up in an orphanage.”
Hearing Lynn say this, Wanda, who had been looking down, instinctively looked up.
Looking at Lynn, who maintained a warm smile, Wanda softly said, “You’re also an orphan?”
“Yes, I am!”
Cutting a piece of beef and putting it in his mouth, Lynn smiled, “So Pietro, what you said isn’t entirely right. At least you two had your parents’ company before you were ten.”
And I, I’ve been abandoned since birth, and even now I don’t know who my parents are!
Uh, sorry, Lynn, is that why you joined the organization?
Looking at Lynn, Pietro apologized, remembering his slightly sarcastic tone, then asked curiously.
Wanda Django Maximoff Favorability: 2
Pietro Django Maximoff Favorability: 3
That’s not it!
Looking at the two curious people, Lynn said softly, "Sometimes, this World doesn't turn according to our will."
For three consecutive days, Lynn Hall, led by Wanda and Pietro, visited every scenic spot in Sokovia.
When they parted, Lynn took out a roll of banknotes and handed them to the two as a guide fee.
Wanda and Pietro naturally accepted the money Lynn gave them, after all, their current role was Lynn's temporary guides.
After leaving Lynn, as arranged, Wanda and Pietro did not return to the HYDRA Base, but stayed in a house the organization had arranged for them in advance.
What do you think of Lynn?
Looking at Pietro, who had just washed fruit in the kitchen, Wanda picked up an apple and asked while eating.
I think he's not bad. Although three days isn't enough to get to know a person, at least in these three days, I didn't feel any American arrogance from him.
Picking up an orange and peeling it, Pietro replied, "But I don't think his suggestion is very good, or maybe he's just testing our loyalty to the organization!"
You mean, he thinks we haven't been in the organization for long, so if we're willing, he can arrange for us to leave the organization and study in the United States?
Hearing Pietro's guess, Wanda shook her head, "I don't think this is his test of us."
Why? Don't forget Lynn Hall is also part of the organization!
Intuition!
Looking at Pietro, Wanda shrugged, "Pietro, do you think we are important to the organization?"
Although I really don't want to admit it, Pietro, we are just dispensable people to the organization, so Lynn doesn't need to test us for the organization.
Moreover, compared to us who joined the organization voluntarily, don't you think Lynn is more like he was forced to join the organization?
Hearing Wanda's words, Pietro subconsciously looked at her, "How is that possible? Lynn Hall is an official of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. How could someone like him be coerced?"
Lynn is like us, Pietro, he is also an orphan. I guess that's why he's willing to help us.
At this point, Wanda's tone became a little softer, "As for coercion, maybe the organization is threatening him with his adopted family, or they've got some dirt on him."
Forcing him to join the organization, but when he saw us and knew we were also orphans, he saw his past self in us.
So he doesn't want us to repeat what he went through, and wants to help us leave the organization and live a normal life!
Putting down the apple in her hand, Wanda looked at Pietro and said softly, "Actually, I really want to know what he's been through all these years. Forced to join the organization, he must have suffered a lot and been extremely struggling and painful in his heart."
Listening to Wanda's wild imagination, Pietro's eyes widened, and he didn't even notice the orange in his hand dropping.
No, I've been with Lynn for these three days, and I haven't seen Lynn and Wanda alone!
Why didn't I notice the situations Wanda was talking about?
A 16-year-old girl is at an age full of fantasies, who likes to view all things in her own understanding.
Of course, Lynn didn't know that Wanda was wildly imagining his "past."
Even if he knew, Lynn wouldn't care.
As for the suggestion to take them to the United States for study, Lynn didn't just say it casually.
After all, one of these two has speed similar to the Flash, and the other is the Scarlet Witch with Chaos Magic.
If he could bring them to the United States, wouldn't he be able to gain favorability as he pleased?
Even if they refused, Lynn had nothing to lose.
Moreover, he had deepened the impression of himself on Wanda and Pietro, and it would be easier to gain favorability when they awakened their abilities in the future.
As for whether they would tell Baron Strucker about this suggestion?
Heh, Lynn is a professional Agent, and he has a firm grasp of human nature.
So, what was Lynn, who was currently being wildly imagined by Wanda and supposedly in extreme pain, doing?
Inside the bar.
Giggle..
A tall, charming beauty was currently giggling at Lynn's jokes, her two mountains on her chest moving up and down.
From time to time, she would raise her hand to pat Lynn, and then lean into his ear, exhaling like orchids.
In the corner of the bar.
Clint Barton held his wine glass, looking helplessly as his target was being chatted up by Lynn Hall.
This woman was the target he had been monitoring for several days.
According to intelligence, she was very likely a member of HYDRA.
But he didn't expect to see Lynn Hall in a bar in Sokovia.
Damn it, how did a Federal Bureau of Investigation supervisor end up in Eastern Europe? And even abducted his target?
When he saw the well-built target walk out of the bar with Lynn's arm, she was practically glued to Lynn, practically in heat.
Clint Barton drained the wine in his glass, then got up and walked out of the bar.
After seeing the target being taken into the hotel by Lynn, Clint Barton returned to his car, pressed his communication earpiece and said, "Hill, the target has been abducted!"
Inside the temporary S.H.I.E.L.D. Base in Sokovia.
Hearing Barton's report, Maria Hill said expressionlessly, "The target has been abducted? What do you mean?"
Literally, I just saw Lynn Hall in the bar, yes, the Lynn Hall that Director Fury has always wanted to recruit.
After he entered the bar, he targeted her, and then with a few jokes, he took our target to the hotel.
But it's understandable, after all, in the entire bar, she was the prettiest and had the best figure!
At this point, Clint Barton said, "I don't know if this is a coincidence or premeditated, so Hill, you'd better check it out."
If it's a coincidence, then we'll have to change our approach. If it's premeditated, and Lynn Hall is connected to HYDRA...
Then, this matter will be a big problem!
Hearing Barton's words, Hill, who had been expressionless, frowned and said, "You stay put and continue monitoring. I'll go check and report to Fury!"
Okay!
After ending the communication, Clint Barton sat in the car, his gaze fixed on the hotel.
Inside the hotel.
Looking at the Eastern European beauty kneeling on the ground, occasionally looking up at him with wet, soft, big eyes, looking pathetic and knowing how to arouse a man's desires.
Lynn Hall placed his hand on her head and let out a long sigh.
This Eastern European beauty in front of him was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s target, and also someone he had deliberately chatted up.
However, she was not a member of HYDRA, and even the organization behind her, except for the leader, was not HYDRA.
All of this was part of Lynn's plan to replace one with another.
After all, the one thing Eastern Europe doesn't lack is all kinds of armed organizations!
So, Lynn Hall went to Sokovia for a vacation, and then chatted up a beauty in a bar, hoping for a fling, but ended up catching a HYDRA member?
After brewing a cup of coffee, Nick Fury smiled, "Does this World really have so many coincidences?"
Facing Nick Fury's rhetorical question, Hill also nodded and said, "I also don't think things are that coincidental."
It should be that the moment Lynn Hall got off the plane, he was targeted by HYDRA.
Including his chat-up in the bar, this was all part of HYDRA's plan.
Looking at Nick Fury in the video, Hill said, "In the eyes of HYDRA, Lynn Hall is capable and a hero in the hearts of the American people. The most important thing is his identity; he is now the Federal Bureau of Investigation supervisor of New York City, the most prosperous city in the World!"
If he weren't too young, Lynn Hall might already be a Deputy Director. If these guys we're targeting are really HYDRA, then when they see Lynn Hall actively "delivering himself," they definitely won't miss the opportunity.
After all, as long as they can get Lynn Hall to join them, to become one of them, then HYDRA can use Lynn's power to enter the United States!
Hearing Hill's judgment, Nick Fury gently stirred the coffee in his hand.
After a moment of thought, Nick Fury suddenly said, "What has Lynn been doing these days since he arrived in Sokovia?"
Facing Fury's question, Hill said, "I had someone check. After Lynn arrived in Eastern Europe, he met two sixteen-year-old twins, and then hired them to take him on a tour of Sokovia."
And then he went to the bar and was chatted up by a HYDRA member!
Are those twins' identities okay?
They should be fine. Their records are clean. Fury, do you suspect Lynn is also with HYDRA?
Hill understood Nick Fury's personality very well.
He was suspicious of everything, instinctively distrusting everyone!
After a moment of contemplation, Nick Fury said, "Hill, you have full command here in Sokovia. I'm willing to believe Lynn has no connection with HYDRA, but—"
Before he could finish speaking, Clint's communication request immediately came through on Hill's end.
After answering, Hill and Nick Fury heard Hawkeye report, "Lynn Hall and the target have left the hotel. To be precise, Lynn Hall was drugged and carried onto a car!"
Hearing Hawkeye's report, Nick Fury put down his stirring coffee and then ordered, "Clint, you follow them. Hill will send people to support you."
If they intend to harm Lynn, then rescue Lynn!
Understood!
Hearing Nick Fury's voice from the communication channel, Hawkeye was not surprised and immediately started his vehicle to follow.
It seems this should be one of HYDRA's methods to "recruit" Lynn. Tsk, I didn't expect Lynn to fall for it.
Taking a sip of coffee, Nick Fury felt a hint of satisfaction rise in his heart, "I'd love to see what kind of expression he'll have when he learns that the people who saved him are S.H.I.E.L.D., the organization he's refused to join time and time again!"
Listening to Fury's twisted humor, Hill hung up the video and then led her people to provide support!
Half an hour later, inside an abandoned residential building in Sokovia.
This is the hero in the hearts of the American people?
Looking at Lynn Hall, who was tied to a chair and currently unconscious.
A bearded man looked at the beauty from earlier and smiled, "Alisa, you did very well!"
Heh!
Hearing the bearded man's words, Alisa glared at him and said, "Do you know, if I hadn't been quick-witted just now, he would have almost entered your wife's body and become the second man in my life?"
Perhaps thinking of the scene in the hotel just now, Alisa subconsciously licked her lips.
However, she quickly glared at the bearded man again and said, "Damn it, I'm your wife, and you're making me use this method. Sometimes I really wonder if you have some special fetish!"
Seeing Alisa's 'furious' expression, the bearded man quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't be angry, my dear. Who told you that you are the most beautiful woman in our HYDRA?"
"An American like Lynn Hall, if he can't be tempted by the most beautiful woman, then he won't fall for it!"
"Beautiful Alisa, for the future of our HYDRA, we can only sacrifice you a little. Believe me, once the leader's plan succeeds, we will be able to leave Sokovia and go to the United States to enjoy life!"
"Sacrifice?"
Pushing her husband away, Alisa suddenly laughed, "How do you know this is a sacrifice for me? His capital is much bigger than yours. If it weren't for the organization's plan, maybe I could experience true happiness!"
Knowing that Alisa was deliberately trying to annoy him, the bearded man kept coaxing his wife, but he felt uneasy.
After all, no man can accept such a thing!
As for the few guys next to him, they all pretended not to hear anything at the moment.
Downstairs, in a dark corner.
"Wow, these Eastern European guys are really willing to sacrifice. They even let their wives use a honey trap."
Looking at the images and sounds transmitted back by the hidden drone he released, Clint Barton said to Hill, who was beside him.
"This further confirms that they want to recruit Lynn Hall to join the organization."
"Hill, I don't think this group of people is HYDRA."
Looking at Hill, Hawkeye said, "Through these days of tracking, I found that they are basically ordinary people, simple in their actions and full of loopholes, and they have definitely not undergone any special training."
Hearing Hawkeye say this, Hill also nodded, "My judgment is consistent with yours, but they do claim to be HYDRA."
"Most importantly, they were able to take down a top Agent like Lynn, even if..."
Mid-sentence, the two heard Lynn Hall, who was tied to a chair and had been unconscious, suddenly say, "So, your organization is called HYDRA?"
"Heh, I thought HYDRA had been eliminated decades ago. Now, I'll give you five seconds to state your plan, or you can go to hell and say it."
Hearing Lynn Hall's voice, Hill and Barton both looked at the screen at the same time.
The ropes tied to Lynn had fallen off at some point, and Lynn was standing up, looking at them!
"Not good, act quickly!"
Seeing this, Hill immediately ordered them to start acting.
She wasn't worried that the unarmed Lynn would be killed by these strong men with pistols.
Instead, she was worried that Lynn would quickly take down these strong men with guns.
You know, these people were all their leads for tracking and investigation!
"FUXX!"
"Damn it, how did this damn American wake up so quickly?"
"Get down on the ground immediately, otherwise—"
Before these armed men could finish their threats, Lynn Hall instantly struck, cleanly knocking the guns out of their hands.
When S.H.I.E.L.D. rushed up from downstairs, inside the room, several strong men were clutching their punctured wrists, groaning incessantly.
And the woman named Alisa was slumped on the ground, trembling with fear.
Wiping the blood from his hands with a handkerchief, Lynn Hall pulled over a chair and sat down, "Let's play a game!"
Picking up a revolver from the ground, Lynn Hall removed all the bullets from it: "You should know Russian Roulette, right? Now you will answer my questions."
"If I'm not satisfied, I'll just shoot. As for who survives, that depends on your luck!"
Loading a bullet and spinning the cylinder, Lynn pointed the gun at the first person: "Are you HYDRA?"
Watching Lynn point the pistol at his head, the strong man clutching his punctured arm gritted his teeth, glaring at Lynn fiercely without speaking.
"I like your tough attitude!"
"Click!"
Pulling the trigger, and seeing that the bullet didn't fire, the strong man subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But very quickly, he saw Lynn point the revolver at him again: "Are you HYDRA?"
Facing Lynn's repeated question, the strong man's body trembled slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and remained silent.
"Click!"
"Tsk tsk, you're really lucky!"
Looking at the sweating, somewhat exhausted strong man, before he could celebrate, Lynn once again pointed the gun at him.
"Damn it, isn't it Russian Roulette? Shouldn't it be the next person? Why is it still me?"
When he saw the gun pointed at his head for the third time, the strong man, not knowing where he got the courage, immediately roared at Lynn.
"Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Tapping his ear, Lynn pointed the gun at his head, "You haven't answered my question, and you haven't died, so of course it's still starting with you!"
"FUXX!"
Listening to Lynn's playful voice, and seeing Lynn's finger about to pull the trigger.
The strong man could no longer bear the torment in his heart, and immediately shouted, "Yes, our organization is now called HYDRA!"
"Hmm, I'm very satisfied with your answer, so you're safe for now!"
Saying that, Lynn pointed the gun at another guy: "Now your organization is called HYDRA, what about before?"
Outside the door.
Hearing Lynn's interrogation method, Hill, who had originally wanted to rush in and rescue these HYDRA members from Lynn's hands, was no longer in a hurry.
This interrogation method was very effective, so she also wanted to know whether these guys were really HYDRA.
As Lynn interrogated them, Hill and the others gradually understood the true identities of these guys.
Initially, this group was just an armed force in Eastern Europe. Later, the second-in-command, Kose Nage, killed the leader and took his place, thus expanding into Sokovia.
For some unknown reason, some time ago, the leader, Kose Nage, suddenly renamed this armed force HYDRA.
And even the flag was changed to the HYDRA symbol!
As for their capture of Lynn Hall, it was entirely because they valued Lynn's identity.
They wanted Lynn to become one of them, and then use Lynn's power to slowly infiltrate the United States!
Hearing these explanations, a hint of disappointment flashed in Hill's eyes. She had thought they had truly discovered HYDRA.
However, that Kose Nage must be a bit off; he should have something related to the real HYDRA on him!
After interrogating these guys, Lynn suddenly said to the outside, "You've been listening outside for a long time. Are you sure you're not coming in?"
That's right, all of this was designed by Lynn, including these few guys who tried to seduce him and then drug him.
They just didn't know Lynn's plan.
Currently, only Baron Strucker and Kose Nage knew about Lynn's plan.
It was a trick to substitute one thing for another: hide the real HYDRA organization and then use an armed force to replace HYDRA to attract S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention.
Of course, there was a key point here, and that was Kose Nage.
He did kill the leader of the armed force and then took his place.
As a result, he was exposed during cooperation with AIM and discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
Although he issued a gag order immediately after learning of the identity leak, the name HYDRA was still discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents!
According to the rules, he should have been executed to avoid implicating HYDRA.
But Baron Strucker felt that since he had already been targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D., executing him directly might make S.H.I.E.L.D. even more suspicious.
It would be better to use him as a pawn and throw him to S.H.I.E.L.D., so that S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't investigate further and involve the Sokovia Base.
And after Lynn took over this matter, he came up with this plan of substituting one thing for another.
And since Kose Nage was already useless, it would be better to wait until he was caught by S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents before executing the second phase of the plan!
Yes, the current plan of substituting one thing for another is only the first step!
Hearing Lynn's voice, Hill and Hawkeye exchanged glances, then walked in from outside.
"Lynn, I'm Maria Hill, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, and he's Clint Barton, also a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent!"
Hearing Hill's self-introduction, Lynn nodded, "I'm not surprised at all. After all, only S.H.I.E.L.D. would attach such importance to HYDRA!"
"You discovered us a long time ago?"
Hearing Lynn's words, Hill asked.
"From the first day I arrived in Sokovia, I noticed someone was watching me, but their methods were too crude, and I easily found too many flaws."
"So I decided to play along and see which faction the force monitoring me belonged to."
Glancing at the few guys kneeling on the ground, Lynn stood up and smiled, "When I deliberately let them 'drug' me and bring me here, your people were following in the car the whole way."
Hearing Lynn say this, Hill nodded in agreement.
She knew Lynn was a top Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent, so he certainly had that ability!
"Lynn, can you hand these guys over to our S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Looking at the guys kneeling on the ground, Maria Hill said, "Although they claim to have only changed their name to HYDRA recently."
"But you also know the terror of HYDRA. I suspect their leader should be related to the real HYDRA!"
Lynn didn't refuse Hill's request: "Of course, I always like to be kind to people, and besides, I'm on vacation right now."
"What a shame, my good vacation was ruined by these idiots!"
"Kose Nage, thirty-seven years old, German. Moved from Germany to Sokovia with his parents at 15. At 17, Sokovia experienced unrest, and his parents died under the guns of the rebels."
"In the same year, to avenge his parents, Kose Nage joined the local armed organization and, with the armed organization, occupied three small towns in eastern Sokovia."
"Later, the armed organization negotiated with the government army and agreed to surrender, and the government army tacitly agreed that this small town would be under the jurisdiction of Kose Nage's armed forces."
Looking at Kose Nage's data and information on the screen, Hawkeye, playing with an arrow, smiled, "It really fits the Eastern European style. The local government actually recognized the legitimacy of an armed force and even handed over the administration of a small town to an armed force."
"It must be that armed force gave a lot of money to the Sokovia government."
