High in the sky, amidst the thick clouds, a massive Sky Fortress loomed in and out of sight.
This is the headquarters of the mysterious " Red Room " international spy organization.
Three jet aircraft landed on the bridge of the Sky Fortress.
Melina Vostokoff carried the unconscious Natasha Romanoff off the plane.
"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"
"Na..." A man's voice came through the Headset.
"General..." Melina raised her hand and stopped, and the soldiers carrying the stretcher stopped as well.
"Lock up that lost Widow first... Come directly to my office..."
"Yes..." Melina's words were cut off by the end of the Headset.
She turned and ordered, "Lock her in cell number 5."
The soldiers stood at attention, pounded their chests, and shouted in unison, "Yes, sir! Ms. Melina!"
Upon entering the fortress, Melina parted ways with the soldiers.
Following Dreykov's orders, she went directly to the top-floor office.
As I walked down the long corridor, a series of delicate shouts suddenly rang out.
She looked through a round glass window and saw a group of teenage girls training in hand-to-hand combat skills.
These Widow in reserve have undergone rigorous training and are extremely sensitive to the gaze of strangers.
Within seconds of Melina casting her gaze upon them, dozens of girls turned their heads toward the doorway.
She met the group of girls' empty yet sharp eyes for a moment, then closed her eyes slightly, turned back, and continued on her way.
Top-floor office of the Sky Fortress.
Dreykov sat at his desk, watching the surveillance video and tapping his fingers.
The ruby ring on her pinky finger was exceptionally eye-catching.
'Buzz~'
The office door opened, and Melina walked in.
"My God, look at you..."
Dreykov stood up, walked around the office, and went to Melina's side.
"Na..."
How does it feel to reunite with family after a long separation?
"How annoying..." Melina stopped in her tracks and complained.
"She bursts into tears the moment she sees me..."
"She's more emotional than when she was younger..."
Dreykov circled her once, and said meaningfully, "Just like before, isn't it?"
Melina hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Mmm..."
Dreykov adjusted his glasses, stared into her eyes, and asked, " Natasha..."
"How did you find your place?"
"Who sent her?"
" S.H.I.E.L.D..? Or some other force?"
Melina shook her head. "I don't know..."
"My farm has always been secluded; no one else has ever been there..."
"In this world, besides you, only Alexei knows about my place..."
" Alexei?" Dreykov shook his head. "He's been kept in custody all along..."
"Besides him, it's me. Do you think I leaked the information?"
Melina shook her head in alarm, "No, of course not, General!"
"So who could have leaked the information?" Dreykov smiled knowingly.
Melina's eyes were half-closed, and her right hand secretly reached for the pistol at her waist.
"Na..." Dreykov raised his right hand, revealing a ring on his pinky finger, "Have you become bolder?"
"You!" A flicker of fear crossed Melina's eyes. "What have you done?"
"Oh~" Dreykov turned around and sneered, "Don't you even recognize the things you invented?"
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled her to the desk.
He roughly pressed her down into the chair and made her sit down.
"Let me see who you are."
Dreykov tapped her forehead, then reached out and ripped off a ' Widow Veil '.
Wow!
He exclaimed, feigning surprise.
Look who's here!
" Natasha Romanoff..."
"My girl who ran away from home..."
"What's wrong? Tired of wandering around? Missing home now?"
" Dreykov!" Natasha glared at the man before her, wishing she could tear a piece of flesh off his hateful face!
"Why are you angry?" Dreykov reached out and pinched Natasha's face, forcefully turning her head back.
"Shouldn't I be the one who's angry?"
"The girl I raised conspired with outsiders to kill me..."
As he spoke, his face instantly turned ferocious.
Do you remember Antonia?
Upon hearing the name, Natasha was momentarily stunned; an image of a teenage girl flashed through her mind.
Dreykov saw her expression and chuckled maliciously.
"You used my daughter!"
"You even wanted to blow her up with a bomb!"
"Unfortunately..." Dreykov shrugged, "I wasn't there at the time..."
You're disappointed, aren't you?
"Oh, right! Didn't the people at S.H.I.E.L.D.. tell you I was still alive?"
Natasha's face turned very pale.
"Looks like there isn't..." Dreykov laughed.
Hahaha~
"You regard the Red Room, which honed your skills, as your mortal enemy..."
"But now it seems that the organization you're working for now only sees you as a piece of trash that's dispensable..."
"Let me guess what they told you?"
"Ah, Dreykov has been blown up!"
"No trace of the body remains..."
" The Red Room has been completely destroyed!"
"The young Widow have all run away..."
"Your hatred and past should be left behind!"
Join us and start a new life!
"Fight to protect the peace of the Earth!"
Dreykov spoke these words with deep emotion.
"Hehehehe..."
"An innocent little girl!"
I'm always attracted to men who have smooth talk...
"I only taught you how to be spies and assassins before..."
"But I forgot to tell you the truth: there are no good people in this world..."
Just as Dreykov was venting his emotions, a voice suddenly came through Natasha's Headset.
White Queen: "Miss Natasha Romanoff, do you need help?"
Natasha's eyes flickered; that voice was...
White Queen?
That super artificial intelligence, the White Queen!
White Queen: "If needed, shout 'Help me!'"
Natasha:???
What the heck is 'help me'?
Natasha felt her body heat up, her face flushed, and she felt a little ashamed, so much so that she momentarily forgot about her enemy who was still chattering beside her.
" Natasha Romanoff!" Dreykov roared, grabbing her hair and yanking it hard!
"How dare you ignore me!"
Natasha, tears welling in her eyes from the pain, was forced to look up at the furious Dreykov...
That kind of bastard deserves to Hell!
"Help!"
Natasha suddenly shouted those words.
Dreykov was taken aback, then shouted sharply, "Who are you talking to?"
"She's talking to me..." an unfamiliar voice sounded from behind him.
Dreykov was startled and quickly turned around to show the ruby ring on his pinky finger.
'Swish'~
A crimson sword light flashed by...
A hand with a large ruby ring on its little finger flew about, scattering blood...
