Viper of Hydra (First Update)

"Yukio, you stay here and protect Mariko. I'm going upstairs to take a look."

Seeing that Wolverine and Deathstrike had temporarily suppressed Shingen Yashida, Hawking gave an order to Yukio, then flew upwards towards the top floor of the research building.

He sensed the energy belonging to the Viper moving outwards, as if trying to escape.

He still saw some value in the Mutants, Viper.

On one hand, the poison she concocted was indeed quite effective; when combined with the Spider Metal, it could actually suppress Wolverine's regenerative abilities.

On the other hand, the fact that he was able to help Shingen Yashida create such an Adamantium Armor also makes him a top scientist.

Moreover, the instruments that kept Shingen Yashida alive were also made by her.

He's currently in dire need of top-tier scientists like this; capturing them alive and working with Reed to break through Gravity Technology wouldn't be bad.

"I didn't expect it to be this guy. Looks like we need to get out of here quickly."

At that moment, on the top floor of the research building, Viper specially made flight suit, jumped off the roof without hesitation.

She had witnessed the entire scene through her telescope: Hawking had wiped out all of Yashida with a single gesture, turning the whole village into a Taiseki sphere.

Her original mission was to help Shingen Yashida acquire Wolverine's abilities so that he could bring his entire family into Hydra.

Unexpectedly, this unexpected turn of events occurred. She hadn't anticipated that Hero Alliance would value Wolverine so much and send people to help so quickly.

If it were anyone else, she felt that with Shingen Yashida's swordsmanship combined with his Adamantium Armor, they would definitely be able to fight, especially with her help.

But as soon as she saw Hawking's face clearly, she ran off without thinking to gather all the useful information. After tricking Shingen Yashida into going down there to buy time, she ran away.

Who is Stephen Hawking?

The secret founder of the Hero Alliance, the overt Super Hero Saiyan Superman, a terrifying being comparable to the comic book Superman.

The strength she displayed in the Cairo battle was such that, let alone her alone, even all the agents of Hydra combined probably wouldn't be enough to fill her teeth.

Because of Hawking, Hydra's top brass even established a new rule: anyone who encounters Hawking will not be punished even if they abandon the mission and run away.

It should be noted that this is the first time such a rule has been established since the founding of Hydra.

Hydra agents are always killed if their mission fails.

This shows just how much Hydra feared Hawking.

The higher-ups were afraid that if they angered Hawking, Hawking. S.H.I.E.L.D. lead the Super Hero to wipe out Hydra, which would be a catastrophic disaster for Hydra.

"The time was too short. Otherwise, we could have taken away all that Adamantium raw material. With the experimental results of the past few years, even if the mission failed, we could have explained it back home."

As the research building receded further and further away, the Viper's heart, which had been pounding, finally began to settle.

She believed that in this incident, Hawking considered Shingen Yashida to be the mastermind behind it all, while she was just a minor doctor who shouldn't have attracted Hawking's attention.

However, just as she landed and was about to take off her flight suit and quietly leave, a voice suddenly rang out above her.

"Beautiful lady, where are you headed in this desolate wilderness?"

"It's you!"

The Viper instinctively looked up and saw Hawking hovering above her head with a half-smile on his face.

She was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?"

"What do you think, Doctor Green?"

Hawking landed slowly in front of the Viper immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped to the ground.

"As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything and say anything."

Since Hawking specifically came to see her, it means she has been placed under close scrutiny.

There's no way to escape.

To resist would be tantamount to suicide, and she didn't want to die. She wasn't one of those foolish suicide bombers; she had her own goals and ambitions in joining Hydra.

"Your attitude is good. Tell me your true identity first."

Don't even think about lying to me. Once I discover you're lying, I'll extract your soul and read your memories directly.

But if you did that, you wouldn't survive.

Hawking reached out and lifted the Viper's chin, speaking in an icy tone.

He didn't believe that Mutants like Viper, with such strong scientific research capabilities, was loyal simply because of Shingen Yashida's power.

Especially the other party's reaction when they saw him for the first time, it was clear that they recognized him and were so frightened that they completely gave up resisting.

"My name is Ophelia Sarkissian here is Green, Hydra senior Hydra agent. My mission this time is..."

Faced with Hawking, who could crush her like an ant, Viper didn't dare to gamble on lying and instead revealed most of her information and the details of her mission.

Upon hearing this, Hawking raised an eyebrow. He truly hadn't expected that the woman in front of him was actually a high-ranking Hydra agent.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Hydra is the kind of organization that likes to cause trouble all over the world, so it seems reasonable for them to try to win over the head of the country's top family.

On second thought, Hydra seems to have quite a few top scientists; it wouldn't be a bad thing to have them all under my command.

However, there is a problem: Hydra's scientists have been brainwashed, and they might betray them at any time, making them unsafe.

Think of Dr. Zola, who turned S.H.I.E.L.D.. into Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D..

"It seems I'll have to learn Danzo's 'Tongue Severing Curse Seal' Danzo soon."

He remembered that Danzo invented a Ninjutsu called the Tongue Severing Curse Seal. Anyone who was given this seal could not reveal any information related to Danzo, or they would become paralyzed and unable to move.

It's a very good Ninjutsu for controlling subordinates.

"That's it. As long as you don't kill me, I can pledge my loyalty to you."

"I'm very useful. Infiltration, murder, intelligence gathering, scientific research, poison concoction... and if you need, I can even help you—my body can become as flexible as a snake."

The Viper stuck out her tongue, which was twice as long as a normal person's, and licked it seductively at her lips.

As Hydra agent, using her physical advantages to take down her targets is a basic skill, and she is a top master in this regard.

Even Shingen Yashida, who was nearing the end of his life, was no exception.

"Stop with your low-class tricks, I have no interest in public buses."

Reaching out and grabbing the Viper's still-on flight suit, Hawking activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly returning to the top floor of the research building.

"Your task is to tidy everything up here and report back to me in a bit, or I will extract your soul and make you wish you were dead!"
