A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 91 Pre-War Meeting 2

"I won't go into the details of Hydra's history; it's all in the materials I've given you!" Levi said, pointing to the materials in their hands. These materials not only included the well-known history of Hydra during World War II, but also incorporated information about Hydra's origins—a monster called the Hive—that only Levi knew before.

Yes, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Wei did not mention the Inhumans in the materials, but described the Hive as a monster with parasitic manipulation abilities.

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Peggy Carter nodded seriously.

To be honest, even though Hydra is an old adversary, Peggy Carter, who has been the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for decades, was shocked when she saw the information about Hydra provided by Levi regarding its origins.

She had no idea that Hydra had such a long history.

The Red Skull they fought back then was just one of Hydra's forces.

However, upon seeing the familiar name "Competitive Social Club" (the official name of the Hydra Council in the TV series Agent Carter) mentioned in the information, Carter immediately felt relieved.

It turns out that she had been fighting against Hydra all along; her opponent had never changed, she just didn't know it.

This made her even more eager to eradicate Hydra.

"This mission is divided into two phases. The target of the first phase is him—Daniel Whitehall!" As Levi spoke, Jarvis projected photos taken by Frank during his pursuit of Whitehall behind him.

"Daniel Whitehall, whose real name is Werner Reinhardt, was a general under Red Skull during World War II. He was in charge of the Austrian Hydra base and spent years collecting various supernatural items for Red Skull and conducting related human experiments. He was a complete scumbag. In March 1945, he was arrested by the Howling Commandos led by Ms. Carter and was secretly imprisoned by S.H.I.E.L.D. until his release in 1989!" Levi introduced, glancing at Carter as he spoke.

After hearing the introduction, the others also frequently glanced at Carter.

Good heavens, another old guy from World War II.

They're all really good at living... Everyone, including Bronsky, felt that their worldview had been completely reshaped.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Captain America were resurrected!" Colleen whispered to Skye beside her.

However, everyone present was a person with keen senses, so many of them actually heard what the little girl said.

However, their expressions were all different.

Skye and the others looked on in agreement.

Carter's face showed nostalgia.

Only Levi and Tony exchanged a glance, their expressions unreadable.

Others might not know, but those two certainly did: Captain America really would be "resurrected" in a few years...

However, this was just a minor incident.

Soon everyone’s attention returned to Whitehall’s photograph.

Like Carter, Whitehall in the photo doesn't look old. Did he also use a dragon bone?

The people present were puzzled.

"I know everyone is probably wondering if he also used dragon bones, but I can assure you that he didn't. The reason he can stay young is because ten years ago he killed a superhuman with immortality and transplanted all of the other's organs into himself... Just this alone tells you what kind of person he is, right?" Li Wei told everyone a cold truth.

To have all the organs of a superhuman with the ability to live forever transplanted into oneself?

Carter, Bronsky, Black Widow, and other experienced individuals haven't yet grasped the full significance of this.

However, the young people like Dax, Jessica, and Skye all swallowed hard.

Especially Dax, although he had accidentally killed his baseball coach, he had never heard of such a bloody incident.

So I was very surprised.

But while I was surprised, a sense of excitement and anticipation also rose within me.

Despite receiving years of psychotherapy from Dr. Mercer.

However, the violent tendencies stemming from his borderline personality disorder have always been hidden within him.

In fact, for people like him, a proper release of violence is not necessarily a bad thing.

The key question is, on whom will this violence be unleashed?

If it is released onto innocent people, then it is naturally the work of bandits.

But if you unleash it on a villain, then you're a hero!

"He now runs a biological laboratory in Austria and continues his human research... These are photos Frank took after risking his life to sneak into that laboratory!" Levi then had Jarvis show him some of the various human experiments being conducted in that laboratory.

It was extremely cruel and bloody.

Children like Jessica and Skye, who grew up in the New World, find it hard to believe that such dark things still exist in this world.

Even Bronsky was somewhat shocked.

As for the three Black Widows—they said it was all a minor matter…

"So our first phase of mission is to capture Whitehall, destroy this lab, and expose its secrets!" Levi said. "This mission is not difficult for us. Although the lab's defenses are not weak, they are just so-so. So the really important mission is actually the second phase."

As Li Wei changed the subject, the relevant information about Whitehall and the biological laboratory behind him instantly transformed into a map.

"Sokovia?" As a soldier, Blonsky instantly recognized the map. "Our second phase of mission isn't going to involve intervening in the Sokovia war, is it?"

He instantly understood why Li Wei had said the important task was the second phase.

As a former officer in the British Royal Marines, Bronsky had previously studied the subject with his colleagues.

The Sokovia War was no ordinary war; it involved ethnic and religious conflicts, as well as various warlords and criminal groups taking the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Add to that the factional disputes.

Is this level of complexity something that the league's current dozen or so people can handle?

Bronsky immediately raised questions.

If this isn't handled well, it could make us a thorn in the side of both major camps!

Moreover, conflicts between several ethnic groups and religions mean that no matter which side the alliance sides with, it will be regarded as an enemy by other camps.

This was something that even hundreds of thousands of peacekeeping troops couldn't handle back then.

"Of course we can't interfere with the entire situation in Sokovia. We're only targeting one of the forces!" Levi explained, waving his hand in response to Bronsky's question.

The only way to completely resolve the conflict in Sokovia is through direct and violent suppression by a single, strong regime.

Li Wei certainly wouldn't do something so thankless and exhausting.

"The one we're dealing with is Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, the largest warlord in Sokovia and also the largest existing armed force of Hydra, possessing some rather unique technology... Ms. Carter should be very familiar with him." The largest besides S.H.I.E.L.D., Levi silently added in his mind as he spoke.

At the same time, a photo of an ancient castle appeared behind him.

It's the very place the Avengers conquered in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

However, the league will be doing this job now.

Carter looked at the energy tank in the photo and instantly felt as if he had returned to the glorious years of 60 years ago.
