Leg Breaker

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then came a string of angry curses.

"You damned old fox! When did I ever say I wouldn't join? You've been plotting against me! I've been eagerly waiting for the leader's formal invitation, and you've set me up at this crucial moment!"

I clearly contacted the Demon King, but I haven't received a response. You cut me off!

Do you know what you've done? Give me the leader's contact information right now! Otherwise, I'm not finished with you. I'll make you pay for what you've done today, you despicable and shameless bastard!"

Baron Zemo was now extremely anxious. He wasn't stupid; everyone knew that the Demon Group had become the world's leading power.

Plus, with that recent Artificial Sun thing, joining would bring a lot of benefits.

He had originally planned to personally visit the Demon King if he didn't come soon, but after Pierce's words, the Demon King might suddenly develop some ill will towards him.

Once things calmed down on the other end of the line, Pierce picked up the phone again.

"Although the leader hasn't set a time, for the sake of your leg, you should act as soon as possible."

"F... beep..."

Pierce breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

After this, Hydra has gathered six heads, leaving only the traditionalists.

If they remain stubborn, six heads will suffice.

Pierce's eyes were filled with longing as he gazed at the hidden location of the safe.

In the past, he wouldn't have cared about positions like leaders.

But now he has the opportunity and time to try again; all he needs to do now is wait patiently.

"Fury, everything's ready, we're just waiting for you."

The appearance of the Artificial Sun made him believe that the leader would lead Hydra to glory once again.

After being hung up on, Baron Zemo took a few deep breaths and regained his composure.

Although we can no longer regain the right to speak, that's how power works—if you can't win, you have to admit defeat.

The priority now is to complete the task assigned by the leader for the first time.

Fastest, best.

"Unseal the Winter Soldier; I need them to complete an important mission."

"What is the mission?"

His subordinates asked questions while simultaneously recording the task information.

"Break the legs of all the gangs in Sokovia."

"... Baron, are you sure?"

"Confirmed. Hurry. Their legs aren't broken, but mine is. Have each Winter Soldier lead a small squad and set off."

"Yes!"

As the mission information was sent out, the entire base began to operate, with personnel rushing around and various equipment emitting a cacophony of noise.

After hanging up the phone, Kino felt a surge of relief; he trusted Hydra's capabilities.

[You're addicted to breaking legs, why don't you change your name to Leg Breaker?]

It's not impossible. I've always believed that death is just a kind of liberation. Losing a leg might make them repent and reform. Amitabha, I'm truly a living Bodhisattva.

[... I think he's a living Yama!]

"You demon!"

"Cassie cried out in fear."

The Sokovia gangs are different from those in other places. They started as vulnerable groups banding together for mutual support, and only later gradually developed into what are known as gangs.

Their family and friends were also there.

"You're wrong, I am the Demon King!"

Kino said with a smile.

Open the portal and leave with the two Minions.

Not long after Kino left, the doors around them opened gently.

A group of people carrying wooden sticks and chairs came over and surrounded the gangsters.

There were women, elderly people, and even disabled people like them.

Upon seeing this, Cassie and his gang swallowed hard, their eyes filled with terror, because they recognized these men and had been subjected to their wanton bullying, robbery, and beatings.

"What are you trying to do?!"

"Here's the gold, just let me go!"

"I haven't bullied you. I just want to borrow some money from you."

Bang bang bang!

However, all they received in response was the sound of beatings, followed by screams of agony.

Blood slowly flowed from beneath their convulsing bodies, as if it were proof of their past evil deeds, now cruelly retaliating against them.

Wanda and Pietro nervously passed through the portal, where they were greeted by a magnificent hall.

"Darling, you're back."

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw an elegant figure with red hair walking towards them, accompanied by an unidentified green creature.

Pamela, I'm back.

Kino opened his arms and gently embraced Pamela.

"Who are they?"

Pamela looked at Wanda and Pietro.

"My goal this time is for you all to introduce yourselves."

Kino turned slightly to the side, gesturing to Wanda and Pietro.

"Hello, my name is Wanda Django Maximoff."

Wanda spoke softly, her head slightly lowered, her eyes revealing a hint of barely concealed inferiority.

"I am Pietro Django Maximoff."

Pietro was too embarrassed to look the other person in the eye.

"Hello, I'm Pamela Lillian Aisley."

You look travel-worn and must be exhausted. Let me take you to clean up first.

My dear, Pietro is in your hands now.

Pamela greeted Wanda with a smile, a smile that seemed to possess a reassuring magic.

Wanda followed cautiously; she really wanted to take a shower.

Pietro watched his sister's departing figure with worry in his eyes.

"Stop looking, you won't do anything to her. Come with me."

"Yes."

Kino led Pietro to another bathroom for a bath.

"Here are some clean clothes; change into them yourself in a bit."

Pietro looked at the clean and bright bathroom in front of him, a variety of complicated thoughts churning in his mind. He quickly rinsed himself with hot water, changed his clothes, and came out.

Kino looked at Pietro, who had only been inside for five minutes, and his lips twitched. Had he really washed himself clean?

"Come over and have something to eat first."

Kino pointed to the table laden with a sumptuous meal.

Pietro looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, swallowed hard, but did not sit down at the table.

Instead, he walked straight to Kino, knelt down, and spoke in a dry voice:

"Please release Wanda, whether as a sacrifice or research material. I will take her place. I won't run away."

The newspapers were full of praise for the Demon King, but Pietro didn't believe there could really be such a good person. The Demon King's performance today confirmed his suspicions.

"Your sister is my target; you're just an afterthought."

Kino's calm voice exploded in Pietro's heart like a thunderclap.

Pietro forced himself to calm down and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Are you mistaken? Wanda is just an ordinary person."

"Really? Have you seen this before?"

Kino spoke, he opened his palm, and a red light suddenly shone brightly.

!!!

Pietro stared at the red light in his palm, his pupils shrinking. How could he have the same ability as Wanda!
