Russell met two Kree scientists, a husband and wife, who were both light-skinned Kree and outwardly looked no different from humans.

"Hello, generous sir, I am Isaac, and this is my wife, Taren."

The male Kree scientist named Isaac smiled. Even though Russell and his group were all veiled and didn't look like good people, he wasn't too surprised. The Knowhere was always like this, and he was used to it.

Russell smiled and shook hands with the two scientists, "Gentlemen, it was really not easy to meet you. I spent a lot of money."

"There's no other way. You want to recruit your favorite research talents, and we also want to find a wealthy boss. After all, science is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to support us."

Russell didn't introduce himself, and Isaac didn't mind. The three of them began a strange interview, with Russell testing the couple's research skills while the couple observed whether Russell had the ability to guarantee their safety.

After talking for about half an hour, Russell was very impressed with the two men's abilities. They were experts in biological Genetic Engineering, with profound knowledge of molecular genetics and variation mechanisms, and unique insights.

If they hadn't violated the laws of the Kree Empire, they would have been treated to good food and drink, and given plenty of money; Russell wouldn't have had to recruit them.

"Gentlemen, name your price!" Russell cut straight to the point.

Isaac and his wife Taren exchanged a glance and said with a smile, "Taren and I don't care too much about salary. We spend our days in the lab, and no matter how much money we are paid, we don't have time to spend it."

"Indeed!"

Russell nodded, Isaac seemed satisfied with his employer. "So what do you want? A top-of-the-line laboratory?"

"This is an inevitable premise."

Isaac replied matter-of-factly, then his expression turned serious. "Your Excellency, the crimes my wife and I committed may seem insignificant to you, but they are serious crimes in the Kree Empire."

"I understand. You want to find a powerful backer to avoid the Kree Empire and conduct your research in peace."

Isaac said, "That's right. If you can't guarantee our safety, then this interview has to end here."

Russell gave the two of them a strange look. "Excuse my bluntness, but are you hiding something?"

Why do you say that?

"Although the Kree Empire is recognized as one of the three great empires, it cannot control everything. The universe is so vast that you can hide in anonymity anywhere and escape them for the rest of your lives... Unless you have provoked a huge problem, there is no need to be so nervous."

"Your Excellency, the Kree spies are everywhere in the universe. It is very likely that our meeting today was under surveillance. Without the protection of a powerful force, my wife and I would not even be able to leave the Knowhere."

Isaac shook his head and continued, "Moreover, the Kree Empire has a highly capable special squad. We don't need to send out a fleet; as long as this squad is deployed, we're doomed."

Russell raised an eyebrow. "Could you tell me the name of this squad?"

"Starforce!"

Russell: "..."

The overused name reminded Russell of the special forces team that the woman with the round face in the movie belonged to. A thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't suppress it, so he couldn't help but ask, "Isaac, what's the name of the Starforce captain?"

"He was a powerful Kree, a light-skinned race like me, named Stegers. We all called him Captain Marvel!"

Russell: "..."

He frowned. Every Captain Marvel has undeniably possessed immense power, but while Captain Marvel could be succeeded, he had never heard of anyone named Stegers.

The first Captain Marvel was Kree named Mar- Will, a heroic and tragic peace warrior. The second Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, shed her glamorous image in the movies, appearing instead with a more rugged, round face.

These two are the most famous Captain Marvel. Perhaps others have briefly served as Captain Marvel, but Russell is certain that none of them are named Stegers.

"Isaac, how strong is this Captain Marvel?"

"Very powerful!"

Isaac's face showed admiration. "His strength comes from both his own power and his spirit and beliefs. He is a hero of the Kree, leading the Starforce through countless battles to achieve one impossible victory after another!"

It sounds a lot like the original Captain Marvel's character. Seeing that Isaac highly praised her, even to the point of worship, Russell couldn't help but retort, "According to you, the superhero Captain Marvel shouldn't make things difficult for you two. What do you have to be afraid of?"

Isaac sighed, "It's different. Captain Marvel is a hero, but she's controlled by the Supreme Intelligence..."

Russell remained silent, quite certain that he had never heard of a Captain Marvel Stegers. If she hadn't changed her name, then she must have died before her time was up!

"Sir, now that we've come this far, is it still possible for us to continue our discussion?"

Isaac shrugged. Recruiting him would mean facing capture by the Starforce; if you're not strong enough, don't get involved.

"Sure, of course no problem..." Russell said with a smile, "I have a magical artifact. Once you two see it, you'll definitely have full confidence in me."

Rumble!!

The pub where the Dark Elves were hiding was erupted in a series of violent explosions, causing the ground to tremble and rumble. The shockwaves from the explosions spread out like a surging tide, knocking Asgard soldiers to the ground.

Five minutes ago, Thor and Loki led Asgard warriors to block their path, forcing the Dark Elves to retreat to the tavern. Thor didn't understand the rules of the Knowhere, but Loki knew them very well: after the fight, they would pay compensation, and the Collector Tivan wouldn't say much.

Businessmen make money by being friendly; with money, there are no problems, and you can still be good friends!

Thor pulled up his red cloak and held it in front of him, remaining unmoved in the face of the explosion. Although he was single-minded and single-minded, he was always at the forefront of battle, which was undeniable.

Loki felt a little dizzy. He got up from the ground, holding a short dagger in each hand, and looked warily at the almost collapsed bar in front of him. A chilling aura gradually grew stronger, and there was more than one of them.

Boom! Boom! Boom—

Two menacing figures, each nearly three meters tall and covered in blazing red magma, emerged from the ruins. The energy fluctuations they emitted drew the attention of the Asgard warriors.

"Wow, I knew coming here was the right choice!" Thor's eyes lit up. He loved fighting, and he loved fighting powerful enemies even more.

"Be careful, that's Curse Warrior, don't charge..."

Seeing Thor's impulsive actions, Loki decisively shut up, waved his hand, and signaled the soldiers to disperse, warning them that entering the battlefield before Thor had finished having his fun would result in friendly fire.
