They could act as cannon fodder to share fire for him, and if the situation changed afterwards, they could also be pushed out to block bullets.
First of all, the number of the other party's people could not be too large; if there were too many, he would not have an absolute advantage and it would be hard to control them.
Secondly, their strength could not be too weak either; if they were weak, they could not play a role.
After picking and choosing.
A Hydra squad with a small number of people and not weak strength was just right, and he contacted them immediately.
The Hydra side learned what happened at the port at the very first moment.
Hydra, which always poked its nose into everything, naturally also had designs on the Rand Corporation.
Since you, The Hand, can control the Rand Corporation, why can't we, Hydra?
Not to mention the Rand Corporation, what about S.H.I.E.L.D.? It was still penetrated by us into Serpent Shield.
Repairing the plank road openly while secretly crossing Chencang, we Hydra are the experts.
Then.
Sleepiness came and someone provided a pillow, and Hydra, which was already secretly figuring out how to use this matter to gain benefits, received an invitation.
And then.
The Hydra squad, which had scammed the faction leader out of a batch of benefits, followed the other party to the dock and easily boarded the stage set up by The Hand.
Su Quan didn't even know how to complain anymore.
He could only say it was truly Madripoor: the water was shallow with many turtles, and big bosses were everywhere; it was no need to feel strange meeting people from any faction here.
Also—
The Hand's luck was simply peerless!
Clearly the target was on the boat, and clearly everything was planned out.
As a result, things that should have been in the bag had people meddling one after another.
First, they had their thunder stolen by the winter soldiers, changing the script they had prepared.
Then they had Hydra mixed in.
Moreover, Hydra's goal was not to kill Ward Meachum and Joy Meachum, but to rescue them in order to infiltrate the Rand Corporation through this.
The Hand: I have it so hard!
Su Quan turned back, looking with a smile at Ward Meachum, who had already raised his head to look at him.
"Dare to look at me now? Do you feel that someone outside has come to save you?"
Ward Meachum shook his head and sighed: "Quite the contrary. The reason I didn't dare look at you just now was because I didn't want to die, and it's the same now—"
He looked at Su Quan, who still wore a relaxed expression and wasn't affected by the battle outside at all, and was surprisingly frank.
"I lied to you. The girlfriend I mentioned just now is fake; she's my sister, Joy Meachum!"
"My father is dying, and someone is plotting against our family's company. My sister and I appearing here was an accident—at least before you guys appeared, that's what I thought."
"And now?"
"Someone wants us to die! I originally thought you were the person arranged by them, but now it seems—you are the biggest accident!"
"If my sister and I die, you won't get anything, so you must protect us. As long as my sister and I can survive, not only will you be able to get more benefits, but you will also be able to openly enjoy those benefits."
"In the name of the future chairman of the Rand Corporation, I swear!"
A glint of triumph and confidence flickered in Ward Meachum's eyes.
He was smart, truly smart!
He used his identity and benefits to make the kidnappers who hijacked them protect them in turn.
Turning danger into safety and averting disaster, this adaptability, quick wit, and decisiveness were truly rare!
"I'm starting to appreciate you a little bit, but have you ever thought about another possibility?"
"They should be very happy to pay a greater price on the matter of saving you, after all they'll be using Rand Corporation's money anyway, and it can even clear them of suspicion!"
"People who die have no value, and no one will hold onto this for you, especially given the case where your whole family dies out."
"I can completely negotiate terms with them and do the killing for them."
Su Quan walked to the door, looked back at Ward Meachum, who had lost all his confidence and turned pale, and walked out.
His train of thought was right, but the kind of posture he exuded was wrong.
Having confidence was a good thing, but being overly confident without regard for the occasion was just courting death.
Still too young!
"Crack!"
A huge thunderbolt suddenly appeared in the gloomy sky, its bright light seeming to illuminate the dark night like broad daylight.
The deafening sound of thunder made people instinctively stop firing and look up into the air.
Only to see that in the azure thunder, a figure descended with a boom like a heavenly deity.
"Bang!"
The figure landed, and the entire dock seemed to vibrate slightly.
The huge impact instantly scattered the smoke that had originally lingered.
The Hydra squad in the smoke supported each other to steady their bodies, and with quick reactions, raised their guns to aim at the center of the impact.
The solid dock ground actually had a deep pit sunken into it.
Inside the deep pit, the figure adopting a superhero landing pose slowly stood up amidst the energy and thunder flickering all around his body.
Then—
With both feet touching the ground, he slowly floated into the air.
"Bang!"
Just as everyone was shocked and dazed, the sniper in the distance instinctively pulled the trigger.
"Clang!"
The speeding bullet mysteriously lost its momentum right in front of him and dropped to the ground.
Su Quan narrowed his eyes and looked slowly over.
In the distance, the sniper who fired the gun suddenly stiffened. He, he found me! From so far away, he actually found me!
An unknown fear surged into his heart. He put away his sniper rifle and turned to run.
"Ah—"
The terrified scream pierced the night sky, soaring straight into the clouds.
Everyone on the dock abruptly woke up.
Where were the people?
How come the people were gone?

"Ah—"
The terrified scream came to an abrupt halt, and the sniper rifle dropped to the ground with a clatter.
The sniper widened his eyes in disbelief, staring in utter shock at this man who, just a second ago, was still over a thousand meters away.
This man who descended from the sky accompanied by thunder—
Was he an extraterrestrial visitor?
Or a descended god?
Heart beating fast, breathing difficult—the sniper, whose true identity was a Hydra agent, tremblingly squeezed out a smile he thought was friendly.
"You—"
Before the Hydra agent could finish more than a single word, his throat was grabbed.
Then—
Wuhu take off!
"Boom!"
The deafening sonic boom made the stunned crowd snap back to their senses, only to see that the person who had mysteriously disappeared just now was back again.
Descending from the sky once more.
Only this time, he wasn't alone.
"Look quickly, there's, there's something in his hand."
