Chapter 298

Oh?

Oh, that's it?

My father is Gideon Malick of the World Security Council, a very powerful and influential figure, and this is your reaction?

Didn't his father say he wanted to build a private prison in the Madripoor and cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D..? He couldn't possibly be unaware of what his father's identity meant.

S.H.I.E.L.D.. is under the jurisdiction of the World Security Council.

"You seem quite unhappy with my reaction? I know who you are, and I know who your father is, but so what? You don't think you can get preferential treatment from me just because of that, do you?"

Su Quan glanced at her and sneered, "You think I won't mind just because you tell me who your father is? Does that mean I have to be trembling with fear just because you told me?"

Stephanie Malick frowned and said, "That's not what I meant, but I think you could be a little more polite and respectful to me."

Su Quan said nonchalantly, "Sure, next time I want to find your world, I'll just appear right in front of you."

Stephanie Malick understood. He was unhappy that she had come without an appointment. But she could have refused. You gave her permission to come up, and now you're unhappy with her? Are you even being reasonable?

Etc--

He didn't do it on purpose, did he?

Since he knows who I am and who my father is, he can naturally guess the purpose of my visit.

So this was a show of force prepared for negotiations?

Although Stephanie Malick held no official position or power, as Gideon's daughter, she had been managing the family business and affairs for a long time.

She is a socialite, but not the kind of pretty face who only knows how to shop all day!

Stephanie Malick's anger gradually subsided, and she smiled confidently, "I apologize to you. It was my fault this time. You won't be so petty as to hold a grudge and refuse to forgive me, will you?"

Wow, you're pretty good at using moral blackmail!

Just because I offer an insincere apology, does that mean I have to accept it? And if I don't accept it, am I being petty? Or am I being stubborn?

Su Quan pursed his lips. Although his attitude wasn't exactly friendly, it wasn't like he was deliberately trying to intimidate her. He simply didn't think much of her, or rather, he didn't have any particular feelings for her.

Stephanie Malick is indeed very shrewd in the family business and in terms of power; she's quite adept at it. However, she's been brainwashed too much by her father.

In the original story, even Gideon Malick sensed something was wrong with what the Hive did after returning to Earth, but she foolishly regarded the Hive as a god, and in the end, she died at the hands of her god, or rather, at the mouth of her god.

For Su Quan, her only redeeming quality is that she possesses a weapon slightly inferior to Peggy's, while her greatest value lies in inheriting the legacy of the Malick family and Hydra.

If he could take over most of the power of S.H.I.E.L.D.. and Hydra, plus the Red Room, he would be the undisputed emperor of the underworld!

This underground emperor is not the kind of underground emperor Kingpin.

His "underground" refers to the underworld.

Su Quan's underground refers to the kind of thing that's hidden behind the scenes!

With Sharon Carter and Maria Hill on the S.H.I.E.L.D.. side, that should be enough.

Hydra's forces are numerous and widely dispersed. Hale can take over Baron Strucker's forces, Crossbones can take over Alexander Pierce's forces, and Stephanie Malick can succeed her father!

"How's my swimming pool?" Su Quan suddenly asked her with a smile.

Stephanie Malick smiled and said, "Great."

"Jump!"

"What?"

"I said, jump in!" Su Quan pointed to the pool, his expression lazy but serious.

Stephanie Malick snorted with a dark face, "You've gone too far. Are you trying to push your luck? I hope you understand that no one can insult the Malick family!"

After saying that, she turned around angrily and prepared to leave.

"Don't you want the Super Soldier Serum and Dionysus Factor anymore? Especially the Dionysus Factor, one drop is a life. If you don't want it, I can go to Alexander Pierce, he's also Hydra!"

"Whether for his own sake or for Hydra's, he won't refuse me, will he?"

Stephanie Malick stopped. "What Hydra? I didn't know you were..."

"What am I saying?" Su Quan retorted with a sneer, "Don't say such stupid things, otherwise I really have no interest in talking to you."

Stephanie Malick's expression shifted, and a few seconds later, she walked back and stared straight at Su Quan: "Speak, what exactly do you want?"

"Why do people always ask me what I want? Can't you figure out what I want yourselves?"

Su Quan retorted irritably, pointing at the swimming pool, "Let me be blunt, I don't have a good impression of you. If you want to talk to me and get benefits from me, then do as I say!"

"So what if I jump? What will you get besides humiliating me and the Malick family?" Stephanie Malick scoffed.

Su Quan said frankly, "It can take away your arrogant temper, make you obedient once and for all, and make me happy!"

"When I'm in a good mood, I'm more likely to do good deeds."

Stephanie Malick sneered, "You're quite frank, but you won't be so easy to subdue me. I'm a member of the Malick family is not something Alexander Pierce can compare to!"

"So, I really don't want to see you display your peacock-like prowess again and again!"

Su Quan shook his head noncommittally. From the moment she entered, her haughty arrogance was already evident in every gesture.

Perhaps she herself didn't realize it.

However, her status as a legitimate Hydra and a member of the Malick family gave her a sense of superiority.

For example, she immediately brought up her father's identity!

What's the meaning?

Isn't it because she subconsciously feels that as long as her father's identity is mentioned, she has to be trembling with fear and respect her?

In other words, she believed that Gideon Malick's status as his daughter and the Malick family's status were superior to her own!

Let alone belittling the Malick family, even just being calm and not fawning over them felt like an insult to her!

Su Quan, who already disliked her, was naturally not going to indulge her!

Want to talk?

Want some benefits?

OK!

Then bow your head and listen to me!

Can't you tell the difference between the two Jokers?

What you want, only I have; but what I want—I can find someone else to replace you at any time!

Looking at Su Quan's 'I've got you covered' face, Stephanie Malick really wanted to turn around and leave, and then let this bastard see the power of the Malick family.

But she can't!

For the sake of her family and for Hydra's true cause, she cannot act recklessly!

Stephanie Malick glanced at the girls around her who ignored her as if she didn't exist, gritted her teeth, and threatened in a deep voice, "If you dare to play me, I will make you pay the price, I promise!"

After saying that, Stephanie Malick leaped into the water, and with a splash, water sprayed everywhere in the pool.

He jumped!

She jumped!

Su Quan looked at Stephanie Malick, who was soaking wet and looking disheveled in the pool, and said with a chuckle, "That's more like it. Since you can't fight back, you should just lie down and cooperate. Making threats will only make you a target."

Stephanie Malick gritted her teeth and said, "May I come up now?"

"What are you doing up here? I find you quite pleasing to the eye, let's just talk like this." Su Quan glanced at the Black Widow not far away, and the Black Widow, understanding his meaning, poured him a glass of wine.

Seeing Su Quan's leisurely and arrogant demeanor, Stephanie Malick decided to go all out. Since she had already jumped, she had to achieve her goal and gain something, even if it meant humiliation.

"Three doses of Super Soldier Serum, two drops of Dionysus Factor, and my father can guarantee that S.H.I.E.L.D.. will cooperate deeply with your prison."

Stephanie Malick set out her terms.

Su Quan scoffed and mocked without any politeness, "Are you out of your mind? Get this straight, what you want is something only I have, but what I want isn't something only you can do."

"How much do you want?"

Stephanie Malick knew perfectly well that she was just haggling and waiting for Su Quan to come down and pay her back.

Su Quan didn't mince words and said directly, "Besides the cooperation in prisons, there's a female Hydra in the Air Force named Hale. Once she becomes a general, have your father support her in taking the position."

Stephanie Malick frowned and asked, "She betrayed the organization?"

Su Quan curled his lip. "Don't act like you're absolutely loyal to Hydra. Your Malick family and the current Hydra are not on the same side at all."

Stephanie Malick's expression changed. "What do you know?"

"Believe me, I know more about your family's beliefs than you do," Su Quan said calmly.

Stephanie Malick frowned, unsure if Su Quan really knew anything. This matter was absolutely top secret, and if it were exposed, it would be even more troublesome than the exposure of Hydra's identity.

"I can grant your request on behalf of the Malick family. What can you give me, and the Malick family?"

Su Quan shook his head. "I won't give you anything, but I can give you hope, like taking you to visit the planet where the Hydra God was exiled."

Stephanie Malick stared at Su Quan: "So you knew all along!"

Su Quan shrugged noncommittally.
