T'Challa asked again, "Who were the three people who accompanied you on this mission?"
"They are the most powerful Winter Soldier in the organization, responsible for some high-risk missions."
What is the Winter Soldier?
"I don't know, they're just called Winter Soldier."
When the other party said they didn't know, T'Challa could only try to extract as much information as possible within the limited time.
How many such soldiers are there?
"Have no idea."
T'Challa was somewhat frustrated by his complete lack of knowledge, because he genuinely didn't know.
Why do we need to seize Vibranium?
However, this time Vail didn't say he didn't know again; he actually did know.
"The organization's goal is to trade Vibranium. If the trade fails, they will seize Vibranium at any cost. Our original plan was to capture King T'Chaka and Prince T'Challa in exchange for Vibranium."
"As for Vibranium, it's used to trade for Physical Enhancement Serum."
Upon hearing the term "Physical Enhancement Serum," T'Challa asked in confusion, "Physical Enhancement Serum?"
Vail's face lit up with excitement. "It's a potion that enhances physical strength. It's said that after taking it, you'll be even stronger than the Winter Soldier."
Then Vail recounted everything he knew about how to obtain Physical Enhancement Serum at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop in New York, including his knowledge of ninjas.
Through his words, T'Challa learned for the first time that the Sunagakure Puppet Shop and Charlotte Agency were actually two different entities.
Just as T'Challa was about to ask some more questions, Vail's brain was completely burned to mush, and he was completely brain dead.
Looking at the dead Vail, T'Challa waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to take his body away.
T'Challa walked out of his cell and into Shuri's Laboratory.
When Shuri saw his brother come up, he asked, "Brother, did you get all the answers?"
T'Challa nodded, then said, "Shuri, help me look into something."
"Charlotte Doyle, Charlotte Agency, Sunagakure Puppet Shop, Ninja, Hydra."
Upon hearing the words his brother uttered, Shuri immediately typed them into the computer and retrieved all the relevant information about those words from the internet.
Among the keywords, Charlotte Doyle, Charlotte Agency, and ninja were the most frequent, followed by Hydra. As for the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, the information was scarce, with only the shop address and registration information found.
"Brother, there's a lot of information. Do you need to filter it?"
T'Challa walked to the screen, looked at the large amount of information and video files, and said, "Let me see what information is available."
T'Challa quickly became engrossed in the intelligence information, reading until the next day.

On the other side.
Inside the Hydra Base.
Alexander Pierce slammed his fist on the table.
"What did you say? We actually failed? That's impossible!"
"A backward Africa native, leaving behind three Winter Soldiers? Are you kidding me?"
The Winter Soldier in Pierce's possession were a treasure inherited when the Soviet Union collapsed. There were not many of these soldiers to begin with, and each one was an important asset to Hydra. They were usually treasured and kept in Cryogenic Chamber when not on missions. However, this time, three of them were lost, which means that a third of their high-end combat power was lost at once.
At that moment, Dr. Zola's face appeared on the electronic screen beside him, and a composite image was created. "Pierce, according to the intelligence sent back..."
"Our personnel failed in their mission and called for backup; the attack helicopter was shot down after firing only one missile."
"Perhaps Wakanda is not as simple as we imagine."
"Besides, it's an internet desert there, making it very difficult for me to obtain useful intelligence information."
Pierce sneered, "Wakanda may be simple, but do you think Hydra is?"
"Vibranium is mine to have!"
Whether it's Vibranium isn't important to Pierce, but the Physical Enhancement Serum Vibranium obtained from the Sunagakure Puppet Shop is extremely important to him.
At this moment, Pierce looked at Dr. Zola on the computer and asked, "How is the replication of the Physical Enhancement Serum progressing?"
"Progress is going smoothly. The basic data provided by S.H.I.E.L.D.. has been a great help to us. We've identified a factor that they couldn't confirm, and you'd never guess what it is."
Upon hearing Zola's words, Pierce became intrigued. Could it be that he knew about that factor?
What is it?
Zola's synthesized voice rang in Pierce's ears. "Werewolf blood cells."
Pierce exclaimed in surprise, "What? How is this possible?"
He had placed an order with Sunagakure Puppet Shop, asking them to bring him a Werewolf corpse for research. Little did he know that one of the main ingredients in this Physical Enhancement Serum was Werewolf blood cells.
Zola's voice rang out again. "I've heard that Charlotte's base is even keeping a group of Werewolf."
After thinking for a moment, Pierce said, "Now that we know the main material, doesn't that mean we can replicate it very quickly?"
"It's not that easy. Although we found Werewolf blood, there are other materials in it as well."
"If it were that easy to replicate, our research on Werewolf corpses wouldn't have ended in failure."
Pierce said, "Let's speed up the research!"
Zola spoke again, saying, "The Physical Enhancement Serum we've been using for research are almost gone. We'll need at least another 1-3 doses, and that's the best-case scenario. If the research doesn't break through, we might need even more."
A fierce glint flashed in Pierce's eyes. "In that case, we'll have to start with Wakanda."
"If all else fails, then we'll take Wakanda and support a resistance force."
As for the Energy Block within S.H.I.E.L.D.., they are currently under very tight control by Nick Fury. Even the loss of just one cube would be detected, and he is currently unable to silently access these things.
Zola then cautioned, "You'd better be prepared. You're not the only one collecting Vibranium; your capable subordinate has his eye on it too."
Upon hearing Zola mention Nick Fury, Pierce frowned slightly. "I know."
·······
On the other side.
An S.H.I.E.L.D.. Quinjet carrying Hill and a team of S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents is flying towards Wakanda. Their objective is to negotiate with the King of Wakanda to expedite the acquisition of the Vibranium shares that originally belonged to the United States and the United Kingdom.
In the United States, Nick Fury paid a price to secure Vibranium quota for the next few years, while in the United Kingdom, British S.H.I.E.L.D.. secured the United Kingdom's quota. S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters was required to provide the United Kingdom branch with a certain amount of Physical Enhancement Serum based on the amount of Vibranium acquired.
