Marvel's Venom, starting with a Hydra undercover agent.

As Bronsky ran wildly, the trees in the forest fell one by one as he continued to move forward.

Although advancing in this way would completely expose his tracks, Bronsky seemed completely unconcerned, immediately snapping the trees blocking his way and running wildly like a savage in a primeval forest, howling as he went.

Finally, after running at full speed for more than ten minutes, the noisy chasing sounds had long since disappeared, and only Bronsky was leaning against a tree, staring blankly at the beach and the sea in the distance.

As Holm had agreed, someone should have been there to meet him after his escape and help him continue his escape by sea. But now there wasn't a single ship or person on the sea.

As Bronsky thought about it, he frowned, and his enormous body gradually shrank until he looked like a normal person.

He couldn't understand what was going on. Logically speaking, Holm had no reason to lie to him, but the unobstructed sea was right in front of him. Was he supposed to jump into the sea and swim?

Thinking of this, Bronsky walked towards the sea. Looking at the rolling waves in the distance, he suddenly felt that swimming might not be impossible for him with his current physical condition.

Why don't we give it a try? Maybe Holm means he should just go on his own.

Just as Bronsky was eagerly preparing to jump into the sea, a figure suddenly appeared beside him as a gust of wind blew by.

"I was only a few minutes late, you don't have to jump into the sea, do you?" Pietro said helplessly, looking at Bronsky, who was half-submerged in the water.

He had already received a notification from Holm to come here to pick someone up, but he was delayed by two minutes because he encountered a food stall. When he arrived, he saw that Bronsky was about to jump into the sea.

Seeing Pietro suddenly appear beside him, Bronsky raised an eyebrow and asked, "So you're here to pick me up? Just you alone?"

"Bingo! You guessed it, I'm here to pick you up. Are you ready?" Pietro snapped his fingers and looked at him with a smile.

Holm had indeed initially arranged for a team to pick up Bronsky, but that was before he went to Sokovia. He hadn't expected to be able to bring Wanda and Pietro under his wing after arriving in Sokovia.

With Pietro, a special ability user, it was certainly more suitable for him to pick up Bronsky. After all, compared to a fleet of ships and armed forces, Pietro could move more covertly and faster.

"Kid, you're not kidding me, are you? You're coming to pick me up all by yourself? I think it's more reliable for me to swim by myself." Bronsky was still somewhat skeptical of Pietro's explanation.

Pietro's sudden appearance just now did prove that the other party had some special abilities, but he couldn't figure out how these special abilities were related to him.

Hearing that Bronsky clearly didn't trust him and was even mocking his young age, Pietro raised his eyebrows and smiled even more broadly.

"You'll find out soon enough whether it's a joke or not. Put these goggles on first," Pietro said, tossing a pair of goggles to Bronsky.

Bronsky took the glasses and looked at Pietro suspiciously, but after thinking about it, he obediently put them on.

"Alright, put it on properly. Now, show us what tricks you have up your sleeve."

"If your ears are sharp enough, you should be able to hear the planes getting closer and closer behind you. If we don't move soon... oh my god!!!"

Before Bronsky could finish speaking, Pietro had already placed one hand on his waist and the other on the back of his head, leading him away from the shore.

Bronsky felt countless scenes flash by in an instant, and in almost no time he had crossed the vast ocean and even passed through a storm, standing on land again.

Once he regained his footing and could see the scenery clearly, a strong sense of dizziness surged through his mind, causing him to lean against a large rock and begin to vomit.

Seeing Bronsky's disheveled appearance, Pietro chuckled as if he had gotten a sense of satisfaction, and said smugly, "How about that, old man? Isn't it a bit too fast for the young man? You can't keep up with the old man."

"Tsk tsk tsk, your food isn't very good either. All you're vomiting up is bread and bread, and what's this purple stuff?"

Bronsky listened to Pietro's taunts and complaints for several seconds before wiping his mouth and standing up again.

“You little rascal, I admit you’re something else. How did you do that? And where are we now?” Bronsky asked Pietro beside him, looking at the coastline that had changed direction.

Upon hearing this, Pietro crossed his arms, shrugged, and said, "Like you, I also have a special ability. My ability is to run fast."

"As for this place, this is the coastline of a European country. We need to go further inland to reach our final destination."

"Europe?" Bronsky was also taken aback by Pietro's answer.

If his senses were correct, the process should have lasted only a dozen seconds. In those few seconds, the young man had taken him from America to Europe, crossing an ocean in between.

After figuring this out, Bronsky's gaze towards Pietro became much more serious. He had to admit that he had indeed underestimated this young man.

"How about that? Stunned, aren't you! Hahaha, I knew you'd make that face, almost everyone does." Pietro laughed heartily, hands on his hips, looking quite smug.

Bronsky had initially admired Pietro's special ability, but seeing Pietro so smug, he couldn't help but scoff and say, "Don't get cocky, you still haven't told me where the final destination is."

When Bronsky asked about serious matters, Pietro put away his smug smile, pointed to the faintly visible mountain peaks in the distance, and said, "That's our final destination. We're going to Sokovia."

"Brother Holm asked me to tell you that you should stay with us in Sokovia for the next period of time, try not to reveal your whereabouts, and live a quiet and low-key life."

"If he needs you to take action, he will contact you. If he doesn't contact you, don't act rashly on your own."

“Sokovia…” Bronsky muttered to himself as he looked at the distant mountain peaks in the direction Pietro was pointing.

Chapter 218, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Confusion

While Bronsky escaped from Cube Prison and was picked up by Pietro and taken to Sokvia, Holm and Daisy were waiting for a meeting in the conference room of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Holm leaned back in his chair, glanced at his watch, and then looked out the window, lost in thought.

If everything went smoothly, Bronsky should have already been taken back to Sokovia by Pietro, thus giving him one more man at his disposal.

While he was pondering, Daisy, who was sitting next to him, was also fiddling with the ornaments on the table, while muttering complaints: "It's already 15 minutes past the agreed time, why haven't they arrived yet?"

"They told me to be punctual last time, but this time they were the ones who were late. I'll be late next time too."

"Why aren't you talking to me? Are you thinking about that woman?" Daisy suddenly turned her head, looked at Holm, and said in a deep voice with narrowed eyes.

They ran into Natasha, who was on her way to a mission, when they came in, and they greeted each other out of politeness.

Hearing Daisy's thoughts jump around so erratically, from just now complaining about Coulson and Nick Fury to the next second turning her attention to him and Natasha, Holm smiled helplessly and said, "What are you thinking about? I was wondering if something happened, otherwise, under normal circumstances, Commander Coulson and Director Fury wouldn't be late."

Hearing Holm's words, Daisy also shifted her attention back to Natasha and said with some confusion, "Yes, they usually arrive early, but today we've both arrived and they're still not here."

"Is there going to be another urgent mission? Sigh, the holiday just ended. If only I could keep resting and still get paid." Daisy leaned back in her chair, sighing and daydreaming.

"You're dreaming. Unless you retire, this situation won't happen. The director and your superiors won't allow you to be too idle." Holm ruthlessly exposed her daydream.

Daisy punched his shoulder in response, huffing in annoyance, "Hmph! Can't I even think about it? I'll tell them you're slandering them later!"

"Are you a child? How dare you talk badly about people behind their backs?" Holm said, pinching her cheek as he spoke.

Just as the two were arguing, the conference room door was finally pushed open, and Coulson and Nick Fury, who had been waiting for a long time, finally walked in.

“You’re finally here. Last time I was late, you told me to reflect on my actions. You’re late today too. Remember to reflect on your actions when you get back,” Daisy said to Coulson and Nick Fury as they walked in.

Hearing Daisy's teasing, a hint of helplessness appeared on Nick Fury's usually grumpy face.

Seeing the grim expressions on their faces, Holm took the initiative to ask, "Is there some kind of emergency?"

Hearing Holm's question, Coulson nodded and said with a serious expression, "We just received news that Bronsky escaped from Cube Prison. Although the prison immediately launched an operation to track him down, we don't know what methods he used, but he just disappeared right under their noses."

"Blonsky escaped? That's Cube Prison!" Daisy exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock.

Holm frowned slightly, looking shocked and serious.

Daisy was surprised because she knew what Cube Prison was, while Holm's reaction was somewhat theatrical.

“Yeah, that’s Cube Prison, and he just managed to escape like that.” Coulson sighed helplessly and continued.

"That guy suddenly transformed during the experiment, then smashed up the lab, crashed through the walls, and just kept crashing his way out."

"Because of his destruction, the cells holding other prisoners were also damaged to varying degrees. Some criminals took the opportunity to escape and caused a lot of trouble. It took a lot of effort for Cube Prison to completely suppress them."

"Hiss~! Is he that fierce?! But wasn't he already suppressed by the drugs and unable to transform?" Daisy was still very puzzled.

“If he’s this powerful after transforming, how could Holm have captured him? Why would we have kept him locked up for so long?”

Daisy's questions were reasonable and well-founded; the very questions she raised were the same ones that Coulson and Nick Fury were also puzzled by.

"Perhaps his body has undergone some changes during this time, and the effects of those drugs may no longer be as noticeable, but because he has been disguising himself so well, he hasn't been discovered," Holm tried to make his own guess.

Listening to Holm's speculation, Nick Fury also spoke up, "The Cube prison thinks the same way, but they can't say the specifics because the data shows everything is normal."

"According to their daily monitoring, since entering the Cube Prison, Bronsky's vital signs have been normal and there have been no fluctuations."

"Their records have been corroborated by many witnesses, so they can't be faked, and the prison break that is happening now is also a fact."

"The only possibility is that Bronsky was never restricted from the moment he entered Cube Prison."

"Whether it was his weakness and coma or his stable state without transformation, it was all an act. He could have smashed the prison and escaped from the beginning, just like he did today, but he didn't. He stayed there for seven days before finally getting out today."

Nick Fury was very clear-headed. Although the facts seemed contradictory, he still made a bold guess and pointed straight to the essence of the matter.

Even Holm secretly gave him a thumbs up after hearing his analysis. As expected of the king of spies, a notorious old fox, his thinking was clear and insightful.

Although he thought this in his heart, Holm still frowned and suddenly realized what was going on, then continued to ask in confusion, "If that's really the case, then it's really strange. Why would he go to prison to suffer?"

"And he didn't show any abnormality whether I arrested him or when I escorted him away?"

"Ha, it's not like he went to prison because he was afraid of getting beaten up by me again," Holm joked.

As he finished speaking, Nick Fury, Daisy, and Coulson all showed thoughtful expressions.

“Maybe that’s really what he thinks. Maybe he’s scared of you because of what you did.” Daisy nodded as she spoke, becoming more and more convinced that it was true.

Holm was taken aback by her words, not expecting Daisy to take his joke seriously.

Chapter 219, Captain America's Giant Popsicle

He was really just joking.

“While this may sound far-fetched, it’s not entirely impossible,” Coulson said, looking at Holm.

"After all, you were the one who defeated him. He was probably afraid that your presence would bring some uncertain risks to his escape, so he endured it for seven days."

"This..." Holm was at a loss for words, but there was really no reasonable explanation for how things had developed to this point.

They weren't Holmes, so they naturally didn't understand the inside story, which is why their wild imaginations are understandable.

Thinking about this, Holm accepted this somewhat outrageous idea. After all, having an answer is better than having no answer, even if the answer sounds so unbelievable.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. What's done is done, and there's no point in talking about it now," Nick Fury said, tapping the table.

"Colson, go and coordinate with the head of the Cube prison in a bit, and ask them to intensify the search."

"The higher-ups already know about this. In this situation, shirking responsibility won't help. If they really want to get through this incident peacefully, they should bring the people back as soon as possible. Otherwise, they'll be skinned alive."

“I understand, I’ll go talk to them in a bit,” Coulson nodded in response.

After discussing Bronsky's escape, Nick Fury began to explain the main purpose of gathering them there.

"Is it an emergency mission? It's always like this when we're suddenly called up." Before Nick Fury could even speak, Daisy leaned back in her chair and complained.

“That’s right, it’s an emergency mission.” Nick Fury nodded as he spoke, and at the same time turned on the projector.

"The Arctic research team discovered something beneath the ice sheet, and our people rushed to the scene immediately and sealed it off."

"The parts that have been cleared out so far are mainly broken parts of the aircraft, which is believed to be a product of World War II."
