As a subordinate of Sears Russell (Grandpa William), Mike certainly knows some of the Russell Family's secrets, including the item 'Confidentiality Agreement'.
This also explains why, even after decades, all the stooges, including Mike, still remain loyal to Sears Russell and Russell Family.
Moreover, Sears Russell once specifically warned Mike and other veterans that William's father could not inherit this characteristic of the Russell Family. There is a chance that William will let Russell Family gain Confidentiality Agreement's 'ability' again through some kind of opportunity, and then only the stubs can work for William.
And Mike jumped out in advance because Manhattan's situation was urgent, and William had already made Russell Family prosperous.
Of course, William also had private discussions with Mike and Andre a few years ago, and learned about this amazing secret of his grandfather Sears Russell.
This made William sigh on the spot, his somewhat miraculous grandfather.
Now.
"..."
After Shia learned that she would be completely loyal to the Russell Family and Ivan, she did not show any discomfort and just nodded silently.
"Lieutenant General... In other words, I am now an employee of Umbrella?" Nova asked in confusion.
"You are now over 18 years old. If you sign an employee contract again, you will be considered an employee of Umbrella. Now you can only be regarded as 'Outsiders'." Mike said softly.
"... But I..." Nova seemed a little dissatisfied.
In fact, as a living person, she was not satisfied with the political marriage arranged by her father, but she never showed her emotions.
Now she is forced to be loyal to the Russell Family, which is really hard for her to accept.
"Lieutenant General..." Ivan, who was originally 'digesting' the secret of Confidentiality Agreement, saw Nova's expression and guessed what she was thinking, and then asked Mike:
"Is there a way to invalidate Confidentiality Agreement from Nova?"
?(x3)
Ivan's words shocked Mike, Xia and Nova.
"Yes, yes, but why?" Mike frowned slightly.
Ivan cast his gaze on Nova, who was also confused and surprised, and laughed softly:
"Lieutenant General, I know you are worried that Nova may be controlled by Yuri, so you let her, and by the way, Shia also sign Confidentiality Agreement.
Shia is the adopted daughter of Grandpa Andre, and since she has extraordinary abilities, she will definitely join the company in the future.
But Nova is different. She has no freedom in the first place, and now she is suddenly forced to become an employee of the company. I think it is really inappropriate.
Although Nova's abilities are extraordinary, I think... the company can win without her.
So I hope the lieutenant general can invalidate her Confidentiality Agreement, and let the technicians perform Memory Modification on her again, so that she can forget this incident."
"Hum..." Mike stared at Ivan and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and explained to Nova:
"During the previous discussion on the bridge, we believed that your father would not be controlled by the clone of Yuri. The real reason is that your father also signed Confidentiality Agreement like us.
But...
(Looks at Ivan again)
But I didn't expect this guy to be quite sweet-tempered. Okay, I will cancel Confidentiality Agreement and send someone else..."
"Wait a minute." At this time, Nova was no longer wavering. He first looked at Ivan with gratitude and some complicated thoughts, and said to Mike in a deep voice:
"Lieutenant General, I agree to join you Umbrella. After all, I don't want to let a lunatic like Yuri win. You also need my psychic help."
"Hahaha! Okay!" Seeing that Nova finally agreed, Mike also laughed happily like his old bad friend Andre.
"Shua-." (the sound of the automatic hatch opening)
"Lieutenant General." At this time, the heavily armored guard also quickly walked into the conference cabin and reminded Mike:
"Athena and Achilles has arrived Hangar Bay Four, General Ostrovsky hopes to rush to the hangar immediately."
"Very good." Mike put away his smile and warned the three Ivan:
"Only a few senior people know what we just discussed, so please keep it a secret, okay?"
Ivan The three of them looked at each other, then nodded to Mike: "Yes."
"Okay, let's go."
Just now, Shia, Nova and Ivan signed Confidentiality Agreement.
The endless number in Warp Space.
[It is detected that Nova·Terra and Shia·Andrena·Ostrovskaya have signed Confidentiality Agreement and will maintain absolute loyalty to the host.
At the same time, this system also detected that Ivan·Russell also signed his name on Confidentiality Agreement, so when Ivan·Russell turns eighteen, the two women will also be absolutely loyal to Ivan.]
???
In the personal office cabin, William, who was discussing the characteristics of this abnormal phenomenon with Halsey, was stunned when he heard the reminder sound from the system next to his ear.
Nova·Terra...
In fact, during the finals, William noticed this Ghost Agent in <StarCraft 2>.
However, before he could send personnel to contact her, he needed to go to UV Ceti, thus temporarily postponing this item.
But how did Nova directly sign Confidentiality Agreement?
And why did Ivan also sign Confidentiality Agreement?
Halsey, who was standing by, saw William acting strangely, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"Ah? Well... it's okay, continue to express your point of view." William returned to God.
Now that they are isolated from the outside world, William is no longer too entangled, and is ready to make inquiries after driving out of Warp Space.
Within Hangar Bay Four a few minutes later.
I saw a large number of ground crews busy installing Hydrogen Fuel, cannon ammunition and missiles on various carrier-based aircraft.
The combatants who were supposed to be resting in their respective dormitories gathered together according to their respective classes and companies, preparing for the possible battle that would follow.
The tail of a parked Pelican.
Athena, who has been replaced with Golden Battle Armor, war spear and war shield, and Achilles, who is also wearing golden equipment, just stepped out of the Pelican's cabin.
Andre, Tina, and a large number of senior generals and officers have been waiting here for a long time, and Mike also happened to come here with Ivan, Nova and Xia.
Seeing Ivan, whom she had not seen for many years, Athena put the war spear and war shield into her personal space, and then slowly walked towards Ivan, who was already much taller than her.
"Long time no see, teacher." Ivan smiled softly.
Athena responded with the same smile, raised his left hand, rubbed the top of Ivan's head a little harder, and carefully observed Ivan's face and sighed:
"I didn't expect that the little kid who liked to follow me would grow up to be so majestic. Hey..."
"Okay, teacher." Ivan raised his hand and held Athena's left wrist, and said to Athena in a deep voice:
"To reminisce about old times, let's get rid of that Yuri Marin guy first. Now I have a task that needs to be completed by the teacher and Achilles."
