Footsteps sounded behind Chen Mo, and Baron Strucker in a trench coat, slowly walked out from a hidden door.

His gaze toward Chen Mo was filled with hatred and glee.

Why do you keep going against me?!

"I already possessed the power to rule the world, but you appeared at the crucial moment and ruined my plans!"

As Baron Strucker spoke, he glared at the trapped Chen Mo through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with a crazed light.

The long-planned scheme, into which all efforts were poured, was ruined by Chen Mo at the last moment. Without the last base, and without the supply of ammunition, fuel and logistics, the huge Valkyrie Goddess could not even find a place to land. After this takeoff, there was no way back.

It's like the plane has just taken off from the deck when the aircraft carrier is sunk. On the vast ocean, he is destined to die. Now that his hopes are dashed, he only wants to drag the culprit Chen Mo down with him. Of course, even if he dies, he will complete his original plan and drag the entire population of New York down with him!

Chen Mo stood in the steel cage, quietly watching Baron Strucker, who was almost driven mad by him.

He could actually understand how he felt at that moment. Anyone who was about to rule the world would go crazy if their power was thwarted at the crucial moment.

However, since you are the villain I chose, as the leader of HYDRA whom you betrayed, all I can do is apologize.

At this moment, Chen Mo had a feeling that he was tricking the neighbor's son into digging a trap to catch a wild boar. The boy had gone through a lot of trouble to dig the pit, and the wild boar had already stepped into the trap. The boy was happily waiting to eat the wild boar, but Chen Mo kicked him in.

Feeling guilty for having wronged others and bullied a fool, Chen Mo slowly spoke.

Why not go to the Alps Headquarters?

Baron Strucker's eyes widened upon hearing this. As the original construction site of the Valkyrie Goddess, it was indeed the only HYDRA base capable of launching and landing the Goddess.

However, ever since "Red Skull" Schmidt disappeared, some of the bases he controlled have disobeyed Schmidt's orders and helped Hitler fight the Allies.

Those bases that remained loyal to Schmidt fell silent, completely severing ties with them, as if they had vanished from the world entirely.

Baron Strucker knew nothing about their situation, perhaps because there had been no movement for so long, or perhaps out of his fear of Schmidt. In many cases, he selectively ignored the existence of other HYDRA bases.

Only after Chen Mo reminded him did he realize that he might still have a chance!

If he knew Chinese, he would definitely shout at this moment, "The mountains and rivers seem to block the way, but then a village appears amidst the willows and flowers!"

As the founder of HYDRA, he is now carrying out the "World-Ending Plan" according to Schmidt's orders. Although he did not follow Schmidt's orders to go into hiding before, it cannot be considered a direct rebellion. As long as Schmidt is not around, everything is fine.

Schmidt had been missing for over a year, and even if others remained loyal to Schmidt, they wouldn't necessarily attack him directly.

Once the Goddess lands at the Alps Headquarters, he will use the excuse of following Schmidt's orders to complete the "World World-Ending Plan" to gradually take control of the base, and even completely control HYDRA. At that time, he will still be able to rule the world!

Thinking this, Baron Strucker couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face, but when he looked at Chen Mo, who was calm in the cage, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"How do you know all this?!"

The existence and location of the Alps Headquarters were known only to him in the entire base, making it the most secretive of all HYDRA base. He couldn't understand how Chen Mo knew about it, and even knew that the Valkyrie Goddess could land there.

Countless possibilities flashed through his mind, but none of them made sense. Looking at Chen Mo, who remained calm and composed despite being locked in a steel cage, a deep sense of apprehension appeared in his eyes.

Who exactly are you?

Baron Strucker's voice became unusually solemn.

Who exactly is this person who dealt him a fatal blow when he was about to succeed, plunging him into despair, yet ultimately pointing him to hope? He no longer believes that Chen Mo is merely a Commander in a secret Allies department.

If the Allies had such terrifying intelligence capabilities, Hitler would probably have been killed long ago!

"I've only been gone for a year, and you don't recognize me anymore, Strucker?" Chen Mo looked directly into Strucker's eyes and said slowly in a cold, deep voice.

Upon hearing Chen Mo's voice, Baron Strucker's eyes widened suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he was utterly horrified.

"You! You are... Schmidt!"

Although the face was completely different, how could he forget Schmidt's voice? At this moment, his heart was already in turmoil. He never expected that Schmidt, who had been missing for more than a year, would change his identity and appearance, infiltrate the Allies Strategic Scientific Reserve, and personally eliminate the HYDRA forces under his control.

Only then did he realize that all of this was actually Schmidt's plan!

He was nothing more than a pawn in Schmidt's game!

His every move was under Schmidt's control; everything he did was simply in accordance with Schmidt's plan.

Having figured out what had happened, Strucker was filled with resentment. "I refuse to be a pawn! I will rule the world!"

Baron Strucker slowly raised his head, and when he looked at Chen Mo again, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"So what? As long as I kill you, HYDRA will still be mine! This world will be mine too!"

Strucker's voice carried a desperate, madness.

Baron Strucker had always harbored deep fear of Schmidt, but now he was cornered, and Schmidt had been imprisoned. Once he eliminated him, he would have no more worries and could confidently take over HYDRA and realize his ambition to rule the world.

The cage that imprisoned Chen Mo was made of the strongest special alloy currently in HYDRA's possession. It was extremely sturdy, and no matter how strong he was, he could not escape from it. Baron Strucker looked at Chen Mo with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man and slowly turned on a switch.

The steel top cover on the iron cage then began to slowly descend along the steel pillar, pressing down on Chen Mo.

It turns out that in order to guard against and deal with Chen Mo, Baron Strucker had actually installed a hydraulic device capable of generating hundreds of tons of pressure on the upper part of the cage, turning the trap into a hydraulic press.

The immense pressure of hundreds of tons was enough to crush Chen Mo into a meat patty!
