Chapter 231 School (Two Chapters Combined)

Tommy had already made arrangements for where these girls would go.

He didn't plan to take the girls directly back to the United States, but instead intended to settle them in a small European country.

The purpose of doing this was to minimize any overt connections with him, in order to facilitate future espionage missions against various organizations within the United States.

Of course, Tommy isn't the kind of person who's unreasonable.

Before taking the girls away, he asked them for their opinions, whether they wanted to go home or pledge allegiance to him.

The answer did not surprise Tommy.

All the girls chose the second path.

Although some of them do have parents who are still alive, they are all well aware that their presence will only bring misfortune to their families.

The red house was destroyed.

But this does not mean that a second red house will not appear in the future.

Even killing General Drekoff wouldn't help.

That guy was just the figurehead; the real driving force behind the Red House was someone else.

As long as there is a need from above, more red houses can be built anytime, anywhere.

Perhaps, somewhere in Siberia, there is a secret service organization hiding like this.

Therefore, to avoid causing trouble for their families, it would be best if people like them all disappeared.

Only by faking their deaths and escaping can their families truly live undisturbed and in peace.

Since no one objected, Tommy naturally packed up all the girls and took them away.

The girls were very happy about this.

Because they were taken to the Red House for training from a young age, they were deeply influenced by the Red House.

I believe that only by becoming a useful person can I have a reason to live.

Tommy was quite troubled by their way of thinking.

Although he liked his loyal subordinates, these girls' behavior was clearly abnormal, showing a somewhat morbid trend.

He hopes the girls can be more normal.

At least don't let your mind be filled with thoughts of how to kill.

It can only be said that the Red House has really done a lot of harm.

General Drekoff's training approach was flawed from the very beginning.

The "breeding poison" training method is outdated.

Mass production on assembly lines is the way to go.

As long as the quantity increases, a few outstanding individuals will inevitably emerge.

The quality is not necessarily worse than Black Widow.

Just look at Hydra to see this.

Hydra's spies are all over the world, and its power is much greater than that of the Red Room, but they don't play the game of raising treacherous insects, and they still thrive.

Let's take a look at Hydra's old rival, S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is not very clean now, it still has some good agents.

Phil Coulson and Barbara Morse, who had previously worked with Tommy, are both very talented individuals, aren't they?

She's just as good as Black Widow.

Of course, Tommy could understand Drekoff's thoughts to some extent.

Russia has a huge population and has never taken human life seriously.

What does it matter how much we have to sacrifice if we can achieve our goal?
While he understands, Tommy will definitely not follow that old guy's style of doing things.

Only one Black Widow was selected from dozens of outstanding trainees.

Such a selection process is extremely wasteful and inefficient.

Even if not every girl has the potential to become a Black Widow, they can still be jumping spiders, wolf spiders, tarantulas...

If you can't become a spy for S.H.I.E.L.D., you can go undercover at major companies like Stark Industries, Hammer Industries, and AIM.

There will always be a use for it.

But before the girls officially begin their mission, Tommy needs to train them, teach them some common sense about society, and try his best to change their mindset so that they can return to being normal people.

Instead of what it is now, where everything appears normal on the outside, but inside they are emotionless killing machines.

However, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

The Red House trained them for over a decade, transforming them into who they are today.

It will definitely take Tommy a long time to complete the transformation; it will certainly take several years.

However, he wasn't in a hurry at all.

It's only 2006 now, and the Infinite War is still a long way off.

It's been several years since the Battle of New York.

According to his plan, the girls' training would be almost complete when Tony Stark transforms from a frivolous playboy into a responsible "Iron Man".

It just so happens to be in line with the trend of the times, allowing it to infiltrate various organizations.

This gave Tommy an idea.

There are plenty of villainous organizations in America; these girls alone are probably not enough.

Perhaps he could learn from the Red House's methods and open a school specifically for training secret agents.

This is completely different from how he trained soldiers before.

Soldiers are meant to fight wars; they are specifically designed for war.

These girls, however, were more suited to the civil service.

Only by developing both his literary and military skills can his "career" become even more brilliant.

Considering this, he should probably revise his plans.

Too many people and too many eyes.

He originally just planned to find a villa and a teacher to give the girls lessons.

Now it seems more appropriate to build a school.

The steps involved are much more complicated than buying a villa.

He'd better find a way to buy a piece of private land of his own, then no one can stop him from doing whatever he wants.

However, he cannot handle this personally.

He had an old acquaintance who seemed capable of helping him solve this problem.

With a school comes the need for a principal and teachers.

Tommy doesn't need to worry about this.

The most suitable candidates are the numerous vampires, led by Elder Amelia.

Those vampires have lived for thousands of years and know the ways of society inside and out.

Moreover, given their formidable fighting strength, there's no need to worry about students being disobedient.

It’s the best of both worlds.

Tommy had this in mind when it came to what to do with the girls.

There may still be some shortcomings, which can only be improved in the future.

As the saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day.

He didn't plan to send the girls out on missions right now.

He still has time; he can take his time.

There's no need to rush the girls' futures, but Natasha and Yelena's situation needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

He planned to send the Natasha sisters back to the United States to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.

Of course, only Natasha was actually an undercover agent; Yelena was more of a prop to make Natasha's escape seem more plausible.

Tommy isn't worried at all about whether Natasha will turn against him again in the future.

Historically, after being spared by Hawkeye Clint Barton and recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha remained devoted to S.H.I.E.L.D., or rather, to Nick Fury.

Until the Infinite Wars, Natasha sacrificed her life to obtain the Soul Stone. This shows that Natasha was a sentimental person who knew how to repay kindness.

Such people are worth nurturing.

……

The Natasha sisters, of course, had no idea about Tommy's future plans.

They are now standing on the cold land of Siberia, watching the private plane accelerate away from the ground, taking the girls to a distant place.

Only a few staff members handling the aftermath and the sisters Natasha and Yelena remained at the scene.

Just then, a staff member approached the two sisters and explained the current situation.

“Miss Romanov, the boss asked me to tell you that he is currently chasing after General Derekov and will be back soon. Please wait here patiently.”

Natasha nodded, showing no concern that Tommy's operation would fail.

She had already witnessed Tommy's formidable fighting prowess, which could only be described as terrifying.

She single-handedly wiped out the entire armed force of the Red House, including even the well-trained Black Widows who were on par with her.

With such terrifying skills, taking down Drekoff would be a piece of cake.

It's something that can be done with a breath.

She was absolutely right.

This is indeed the case.

……

In the sky.

A private plane is flying at high speed.

Inside the cabin, General Derekov held a glass of red wine, feeling quite pleased with himself.

No matter how good he is at fighting, he still managed to get away.

Just thinking about that "Batman" who had just wreaked havoc in the base made him feel terrible.

"Damn it, who exactly is that guy?"

Drekoff was furious.

Since he founded the Red House, he has never suffered such a huge loss.

The trusted general Melina was killed in battle, many Black Widows were sacrificed, and a large number of elite armed forces were also lost.

In the end, he couldn't even keep his own base and had no choice but to abandon everything and leave.

This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for General Drekoff, a hatred he would never forget in his life.

Therefore, he had to find out who this "Batman" really was, no matter what.

Once he finds out who the other person is, he will definitely retaliate fiercely and let that guy know the consequences of angering Drekoff.

With that thought in mind, he raised his glass and drank the red wine in one gulp.

Just as he was about to ask the flight attendants for another glass of red wine, the plane he was on suddenly shook violently, almost throwing him to the ground.

Drekoff was terrified, thinking the plane was about to crash.

Fortunately, the staff explained the cause of the shaking to him, saying that the plane had just encountered a turbulence, which caused the shaking.

This is just a normal weather phenomenon; there's no need to worry about it.

Upon hearing this, Drekoff breathed a slight sigh of relief. The tense expression on his face disappeared, replaced by an air of authority. He looked at the official from before and began to reprimand him.

"I see……"

"Next time you encounter this situation, you'd better issue a warning in advance and avoid always resorting to these surprise attacks."

The staff member wore a wry smile.

It's not that they didn't want to remind us; the key issue is that the radar didn't show it either.

After all, turbulence is extremely complex and irregular.

Some things can be seen, while others cannot be monitored.

The one they encountered today clearly belongs to the second type.

Just then, the plane started shaking again.

Having experienced it once before, Drekoff was much calmer; it was just another turbulent current, nothing serious.

However, the staff member standing next to him had a look of horror on his face, staring blankly out the window as if he had seen something terrifying.

"It's just turbulence, why are you making such a fuss? Look at you, you look like you've seen a ghost."

The staff nodded repeatedly.

What does it mean to feel like you've seen a ghost? He actually saw a ghost!

A flying devil dressed in a Batman suit!

Seeing his behavior, Derekov realized something was wrong and quickly turned around to look in the direction the staff member was looking.

God!

What the hell is that?!
A flying Batman?

Was that guy really not Superman in disguise?
Wait, where do superheroes come from in the real world?

"Hurry, hurry... tell the captain to change course and get as far away from that guy as possible! Go now!"

Drekoff couldn't understand how the man outside had done it, but that didn't stop him from escaping.

But is it really possible for him to escape?
The answer is of course no.

Outside the plane, Tommy followed closely like a ghost, having confirmed that Drekoff was on board.

"Trying to run away? It's not that easy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew over and landed directly at the hatch, kicking it open with a powerful kick.

A powerful gust of air rushed into the cabin, sending various personal belongings flying everywhere, creating chaos inside the cabin.

Upon seeing the uninvited guests, several staff members rushed over, brandishing pistols, and opened fire on Tommy.

Tommy didn't even bother to dodge.

Under the terrified gaze of the enemy, he bravely pressed forward through a hail of bullets.

The bullets struck him, but it was as if they had hit a steel plate, making a clanging sound.

This outrageous scene immediately left everyone present speechless.

"Damn it, what kind of monster is this?"

One of the staff members screamed in terror, and the gun in his hand began to tremble uncontrollably.

Drekoff turned pale and kept backing away, trying to find a place to hide.

Tommy approached step by step, each step seeming to tread on the hearts of everyone present.

His icy gaze swept over the crowd, and the staff members, under that gaze, lost the courage to resist and surrendered to him.

Tommy showed no mercy, grabbing one of them with each hand and throwing them all out of the plane through the wide-open cabin door.

The screams were endless.

Seeing the approaching "Batman," Drekoff turned pale with fright, his voice trembling, and he shouted, trying to remain calm.

"You... what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Tommy didn't answer, but just kept moving closer.

Drekoff grew increasingly terrified.

"Listen, if you let me go, I'm willing to give you five million, no, ten million rubles!"

"Ten million?"

Tommy's journey continues.

Are you teasing him?

Putting aside whether he's short of money or not, the key issue is that Drekoff is far too stingy.

One dollar can be exchanged for about twenty rubles, and ten million rubles is less than five hundred thousand dollars.

To think that Drekoff could bribe him with such a small amount of money is incredibly disrespectful.
