Hydra Under the New Order

There were nine steel-forged passageways in all. Daisy chose the one in the middle.

The walls were covered in reliefs, the sculptures incredibly lifelike. Massive tentacles burst from the sea's surface, seizing fishing boats and fishermen and dragging them into the depths. The terror on the people's faces and the sea monster's immense strength were rendered vividly. The enormous creature glimpsed amid the storm and seawater was Hydra.

Daisy gave them a casual glance and took the lead down the passageway. Her heels struck the floor, their crisp clicks especially clear amid the silently walking crowd.

Before the three-meter-tall doors to the conference room, Daisy and Viper stopped and looked at the people waiting there.

Sunil Bakshi automatically stood behind her, still wearing a smile, humble yet faintly ingratiating.

The heir to Baron Zemo was represented by a hulking German man. His face was covered in a thick beard, and a dark red scar ran from his forehead to his cheek. Muscles bulged all over his body, radiating strength.

The second-generation Zemo had been blown to pieces along with his car by Baldy's single Immortals strike. It was said that the first-generation Zemo, already on the verge of death, had dropped dead on the spot upon hearing the news. Yet the new heir insisted that the old Baron was not dead, merely unconscious.

Daisy could tell that the burly German was forcibly enduring the noise from her heels. She turned to the other side.

Gideon Malick, the fundamentalist who had always wanted to free the ancient Inhuman, The Hive, had come as well. The old man had his eyes slightly closed, as if he had heard nothing.

There was also a man and a woman. Apart from the portion Daisy had taken over, they could be considered Baron Strucker's successors.
