Steve, You're the Hydra Captain I Trust Most

"God bless you, you're back!"

Seeing Russell appear, Dr. Pym breathed a sigh of relief. He was all ready to put on his suit and transform into an elderly version of Ant-Man, but now that Russell was back, he wouldn't have to risk his life with his old arms and legs.

Dr. Pym knew that Russell could easily defeat Thor and the Hulk. There were only a few dozen agents, and they were just for show; they were no match for him.

"There's a traitor in S.H.I.E.L.D.. They acted selfishly without Director Fury's orders, trying to detain Dr. Pym and steal his technology," Natasha briefly recounted the events.

"Didn't I say before that there are Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D..? No, there are S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents inside Hydra? Didn't you take that seriously?"

Russell was speechless. He had already warned him, but the unlucky guy still dared to do something reckless. Did he have a death wish?

Natasha sighed and explained, "S.H.I.E.L.D.. is a global organization with a huge staff. We need to verify the authenticity of the intelligence first, so we can't take action immediately."

Natasha was right. Russell's intelligence was too alarming. Even if the unlucky guy confirmed it was true, he could only make arrangements secretly.

After all, a single move can have far-reaching consequences. If the unlucky player wants to minimize the losses, he must first develop a comprehensive battle plan and secretly gather trustworthy people. All of this takes time, and it is very likely that the preliminary preparations will not be completed for two or three years.

Russell, always eager for drama, chuckled and said, "Hesitation only leads to trouble. I've already warned you that the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. was Hydra. If we had caught him and investigated step by step, we might have suffered some losses, but at least we could have maintained control. Now... hehe, it's all too late. You'll be wanted by the authorities!"

Natasha: "You said before that in another universe, you are the current leader of Hydra. Is that true?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you? After all, you're so weak, and Steve is terrible too." Russell looked at the embarrassed Steve: "I didn't mean anything by it, I'm not trying to disgust you, I just like to tell the truth."

"..."

Seeing that the two remained silent and even made subtle defensive gestures, Russell said disdainfully, "Don't worry, although Hydra is my force, it's another world. The Hydra here has nothing to do with me, and I will not be your enemy."

"Um, can you answer a question for me?"

Tell me about it.

Natasha looked conflicted. "In another world, was I killed by Hydra?"

"No, you're perfectly fine!"

"Uh, I betrayed them?"

"In another world, I took over Hydra at the end of World War II, when Red Skull died," Russell said. "From then on, you were my loyal henchman, an absolute veteran and top executive of Hydra. By the way, we're very close; I even have several gigabytes of photos of you when you were 18!"

"..."

The intelligence was so shocking that Natasha questioned her existence and said she needed to sort it out.

First, in the other world she is an old woman; second, she and Russell... wait, isn't Russell a woman?

Oh, it doesn't seem like anything!

Natasha strongly resisted the idea that her other self was an old woman and was unwilling to accept it from the bottom of her heart, but she easily accepted the identity of Hydra elder.

After all, she was a former special agent, and changing jobs was commonplace for her, so we can't have too high expectations for her integrity.

After Natasha finished asking her question, Steve swallowed hard and said dryly, "What about me? Captain America must have been killed, right?"

"No, you are the Hydra Captain I trust the most. You have shed blood and sweat for Hydra to conquer the world. You have outstanding achievements and high prestige within Hydra. How could I bear to kill you?"

Steve: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"What, you don't believe me?"

"Excuse me for being blunt, Hydra Captain is impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime."

"Don't be so hasty, you have no idea what happened..."

Russell chuckled, a crimson grin spreading across his dark, misty face. "I've got Bucky and Agent Carter under my control. They've been whispering Divine Soul nothings in your ear until you've forgotten your own name. Steve, don't overestimate yourself. You're more enthusiastic than anyone else when it comes to shouting 'Hail Hydra!'"

"..."

As Steve's worldview was being reshaped, Russell turned and stared at Dr. Pym, who broke out in a cold sweat.

"Please don't tell me I'm also Hydra agent?"

Congratulations, you guessed right!

"..."

With just a few words, he stunned three people. Their expressions of dissociation made Russell feel very comfortable; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Boom!!

With a muffled thud, black smoke billowed from Dr. Pym's briefcase and the miniature building made of Pym Particles. His expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "The Quantum Realm portal has been blown up! Damn it, who did this?"

Russell snorted coldly, "It must be those Hydra agents. When they saw me appear, they knew they couldn't steal the Quantum Realm portal, so they just blew it up."

"Damn it, those bastards!"

Dr. Pym's face was ashen as he gritted his teeth and cursed. He knew that Hydra agents hadn't entered the building and therefore had no opportunity or time to plant the bomb, but...

Dr. Pym was also at a loss; he couldn't very well say that Russell did it!

In comparison, it's closer to the harsh reality that Hydra agents should be blamed!

"Don't worry, Dr. Pym, I'll get justice for you right away," Russell said righteously, his words filled with indignation.

"Yes, thank you for your help!"

Dr. Pym nodded, a grateful look on his face, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears of grievance.

A Wings of Light Holy Light Longsword unfurled behind Russell as he charged into the crowd, sword in hand, blades flashing, blades falling, blades falling...

Boom! Boom! Boom—

Ten seconds later, the three-digit number of Hydra agents were wiped out, and the convoy was also cut to pieces.

The battle between good and evil ended with Russell's resounding victory. Dr. Pym, the victim, grasped Russell's hand and expressed his gratitude repeatedly, saying that without Russell's righteous intervention, justice might never have been served.

Natasha and Steve, standing nearby, turned green with rage.

"Haha, that's not true. I can't stand evil madmen who bully the weak." Russell waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he was unworthy of such praise. "Actually, in another world, under my wise leadership, Hydra has turned over a new leaf and become a positive organization dedicated to maintaining peace throughout the universe."

"..."

An awkward silence!

"Hoo~~tui!"

Steve, unable to bear it any longer, spat angrily on the ground. "Is this even human language?"

"Um!?"

Russell gave a slight snort, "Steve, is there something you want to say?"

"No, my throat is a little sore, I'll just spit it out and it'll be fine."

"Hmph, learn from Dr. Pym. Your immaturity will kill many people..." Russell flapped his wings and flew into the sky. "I was originally going to help you guys, but now it seems unnecessary. Don't blame me for standing by and watching you die. It's just that Steve is too high-minded and looks down on me, a busybody."

After saying that, Russell's wings flashed with light, and he disappeared into the distance.

"Hoo~~tui!!" X3

Seeing Russell walk away, the three of them spat on the ground in unison.

"That's outrageous! He never intended to help us at all."

"That's right, you can't believe a single word Hydra says, no matter which universe they come from!"

"..."

"So, you can't believe his claim that we're part of Hydra in another universe, right?"

"Right!"

"That's right, Hydra is absolutely impossible!"
