Indra was to become one of Hydra's leaders, taking over the vacancy left by Whitehall.
Alexander seemed to have pushed the proposal through with ease, and the leaders of Hydra's other branches raised no objections.
The handover went smoothly as well, since Whitehall had not left behind much in the way of assets.
Moreover, Luo Xia had Ward, once an elite member of Hydra, who knew all its inner workings inside out. The plan to send Ward undercover by Alexander's side had to be abandoned, however.
Luo Xia simply had him take control of Whitehall's Hydra branch while also investigating information related to that stone.
The thing was easy enough to find. Ward located it in Whitehall's supply warehouse in very little time.
Along with the stone, a gifted individual with special abilities was sent to Luo Xia—Creel.
He seemed to be an Inhuman who had been brainwashed by Hydra through some special method and had no choice but to obey Whitehall. But after Whitehall died, he lost the person he was loyal to.
Creel possessed an extremely unusual ability: he could transform his body into any material he touched. Metal, asphalt, rubber, wood, even glass and plastic—he could turn every part of his body into any material.
This ability came as a tremendous surprise to Luo Xia.
Creel's brainwashing was extremely severe, so Luo Xia could only have Belcher use the Spiderweb Memory System to gradually restore him. At the same time, he hoped Belcher would thoroughly study Creel's power to alter his body's material composition.
If it merely allowed him to turn his body into other materials, it was nothing extraordinary. But if that ability could be applied to other objects, it would be an absolute game-changer.
That way, why would Luo Xia need to mine Wakanda's vibranium
