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

Seeing the slightly dark-colored blood filling the blood bag, Holm removed the syringe and put the blood bag into a special bag.

Bronsky did not ask Holm why he wanted his blood, or what he wanted his blood for.

None of that mattered to him; all he cared about now was escaping the prison.

Holm knew his urgency, so after packing his things, he instructed him again: "Remember not to do anything rash during this time. Leave in 10 days. This is my request to you, and it also concerns my plan. Do you understand?"

Listening to Holm's words, Bronsky nodded, forcibly suppressing his inner urgency and obediently enduring the constraints.

However, because of this hope, although he is still very uncomfortable being bound, he now has a glimmer of expectation in his mind.

After doing everything, Holm erased all traces, making it seem as if nothing had ever happened.

After some time, the convoy slowly came to a stop, and a group of armed personnel in completely different uniforms joined the convoy and them.

This is the security force of Cube Prison. Because the location of Cube Prison is confidential, their people will be responsible for transporting passengers for the rest of the journey.

According to the plan, Rumlow and his group could not go any further. Only Holm could follow them all the way to Cube Prison. After all, as a Level 8 agent, the location of Cube Prison was no longer a secret to him.

Finally, after driving for some time, the convoy arrived at its final destination.

Looking at the strangely shaped building in front of him, which looked like several cubes stacked together and standing on the ground, Holm couldn't help but admire the creativity of the designers at S.H.I.E.L.D.

As he was being escorted away by armed men, Bronsky looked back at Holm.

Holm showed no unusual reaction to his gaze. After the gates of the Cube prison closed, he called Coulson to report the situation and then quickly returned to the place where he had parted ways with Rumlow and the others.

"The mission is basically complete now. Return the way you came. The bureau probably has something else to tell you," Holm instructed Rumlow and the others.

After watching Rumlow and the others leave, Holm went to the base, got into his car, and sent a message to Garrett asking him to come and collect Bronsky's blood as he drove home.

Regardless of Garrett's grievances, the successful completion of this mission should make the other party lower their guard, feeling that Holm is completely under their control.

......

Meanwhile, at Rumlow's house, William Baker was sitting at the dining table, looking at Katie with a kind expression as she ate heartily.

With Rumlow out today, he finally had a chance to be alone with Katie.

"Uncle William, why aren't you eating?" Katie asked William Baker, blinking her big eyes as she munched on her sandwich.

Through this period of time together, she could feel William Baker's care for her, so their relationship naturally became closer.

For her, meeting Rumlow and William Baker, two uncles who cared for her so much, was truly her good fortune.

Compared to her lonely and cold life in the orphanage, her current warmth and happiness felt like a beautiful dream. If she could, she would love to stay in that dream forever and never wake up.

Seeing Katie's adorable appearance, William Baker smiled and said, "Uncle isn't hungry yet, is it because you don't have enough to eat? Uncle hasn't touched this."

As he spoke, William Baker pushed the sandwich in front of him toward the others.

“Then I won’t be polite~” Katie smiled sweetly and picked up William Baker’s sandwich and put it on her own plate.

“After we eat, Uncle will take you to that newly opened amusement park. Lots of people have been going there lately, and the reviews seem pretty good,” William Baker said to Katie.

Hearing this, Katie's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Really? That's great!"

“My classmates also went to that amusement park, and they even won a plush toy there. It was a very cute little bear.”

Hearing Katie's delight, William Baker smiled and said, "Uncle will win you a teddy bear too. I'm an expert at all the games at the amusement park."

William Baker clearly knew what Katie was talking about because he had already scouted the amusement park before asking the question. He had tried all the rides and knew exactly which ones were fun and which ones weren't, as well as how to win the plush toys.

He had been waiting for this opportunity all along. After all, Rumlow had a job, and he could always wait for a time to be alone with Katie.

Knowing they were going to the amusement park soon, Katie ate faster, and a dozen minutes later they were downstairs and in the car.

Having learned his lesson from last time, William Baker got his hands on a car the very next day and filled it with little dolls, accessories, and stickers that little girls love.

It's not convenient to say exactly how he got it, but William Baker can assure you there won't be any trouble. After all, he has people to care about now, and he can't be as reckless as before.

Throughout the journey, listening to Katie's sweet voice, William Baker's smile never stopped. Katie was like a little angel, healing his heart and filling his life with sunshine.

An hour later, at the newly opened amusement park, William Baker took a beautifully crafted rabbit doll from a shopkeeper whose face looked slightly grim, and handed it to Katie, who was holding several exquisite dolls next to him.

Katie's little face was flushed, and her face was full of happy smiles. She hadn't expected William Baker to be so capable, not only helping her get the teddy bear, but also helping him get several other toys.

“Next up is the little turtle, Uncle will win this little turtle for you too,” William Baker said, patting Katie’s head.

Katie was initially tempted, but after seeing the stall owner's unpleasant expression, she shook her head and said, "No need, uncle, I already have plenty."

William Baker, of course, saw Katie's actions and knew her concerns. So, while admiring Katie's understanding, he turned to the boss and said with a half-smile, "Katie, don't worry, this boss is a very nice person. He won't be angry."

"And with your uncle by your side, you only need to think about whether you want it or not. You don't need to worry about anything else, your uncle will take care of everything."

Seeing William Baker's ambiguous smile and his indifferent yet cold eyes, the stall owner quickly forced a forced smile and dared not keep a straight face any longer.

Chapter 197, Shit Rumlow and Stupid Baker

Upon hearing William Baker's words, Katie hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Then...then I want that big squirrel."

Hearing Katie's words, William Baker smiled kindly and said, "No problem! Uncle will win it for you this time."

Upon hearing William Baker's words, the stall owner cleared his throat and said, "Sir, you can only get the big doll by knocking down all the cups. If you don't knock down even one, you won't get it."

"Thanks for reminding me, I'll take them all down." William Baker said as he picked up 10 small balls from the bowl next to him and started throwing them one by one, just like before.

The rules of this game are to use these 10 small balls to hit the cups that are upside down on the three rows of tables behind. When you knock down 7 cups, you can get a beautiful little doll. You can only get a big doll hanging behind by knocking down 10 cups.

The first eight cups went smoothly, with William Baker skillfully knocking them down one by one. But when he was about to knock down the ninth one, the ball that was supposed to hit the cup bounced off from the side, and the cup wobbled a bit before standing firmly on the table again.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, you missed one. This customer, you can only get a small toy." The stall owner seemed to have anticipated this situation, so when he saw William Baker miss, he immediately took out a beautiful little turtle toy from behind and placed it on the table.

William Baker frowned slightly upon seeing this. He glanced at the cup that hadn't been knocked over, then at his boss who seemed to have anticipated this, and instantly understood his trick.

No wonder I reminded him that he had to knock them all down to get the big doll. There must be some kind of mechanism in the two cups at the back that connects to the table, so even if the ball hits them, it will only shake slightly and won't fall down like the cups in front.

Having thought all this through, William Baker gave the boss a cold laugh, then pulled out another bill and placed it on the table: "I'll buy the rest of the balls."

After saying that, before the stall owner could react, he pulled over 10 small balls and started knocking the cups over one by one, just like before.

Seeing William Baker's condition, the stall owner felt a little uneasy, but thinking about how many years he had been using the equipment, he suppressed his worries and continued to watch William Baker perform with his arms crossed.

The first eight cups were knocked down without any suspense, just like before. As the stall owner watched the excitement with his arms crossed, the ninth cup was knocked to the ground with a bang, accompanied by a whooshing sound, and the ball became embedded in the cup wall.

Upon seeing this, the stall owner's smile instantly froze.

Immediately afterwards, the 10th ball, just like before, smashed the 10th cup directly onto the ground with a bang.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring me that big squirrel in the back," William Baker urged, looking at his dazed boss.

Upon hearing this, the boss swallowed hard. He first arranged all the cups, and then placed the large squirrel on the table.

"Sir, I'll return your money..."

"Bang!" Before the boss could finish speaking, William Baker threw the ball and knocked over the cups that had just been arranged. This time, he didn't follow the order as before, but knocked over the two cups that seemed suspicious at the very beginning.

"What's the rush? I haven't finished playing with my ball yet." William Baker said as he continued to knock down cups with the ball, while the stall owner could only watch as the number of toys on his wall dwindled, his face stiff and bitter.

“Uncle, let’s go play something else. We have enough toys already,” Katie said, tugging at William Baker’s sleeve as she looked at the large bag of toys lying next to them.

Upon hearing Katie's words, William Baker immediately stopped what he was doing, chuckled, picked up the large bag of plush toys beside him, and said, "Haha, okay, whatever you say, Uncle will take you to play with other things."

Just as they were about to leave the stall, Katie turned to the owner, whose face was filled with bitterness, and said, "Uncle, it's wrong to lie. Please don't lie anymore."

After saying that, she pulled William Baker away. She wasn't stupid; she had seen through the boss's trick and knew that William Baker was deliberately punishing the boss.

However, everyone's life is tough, so there's no need to be too ruthless. She's already won enough dolls, and the boss probably worked for nothing this week.

“What a kind child, but kind children are always bullied,” William Baker said, gently stroking Katie’s head.

He was always moved by Katie's kindness and gentleness, but he was also worried that she might get hurt because of that kindness.

If he could, he even secretly hoped that Katie wouldn't be so kind, so that she could survive in this cruel society.

Hearing William Baker's remark, Katie looked up and smiled sweetly, "It's okay, I'm very smart too."

"And don't I have my uncles with me? Whether it's Uncle Rumlow or Uncle William, they can protect me."

Upon hearing Katie's answer, William Baker felt as if his heart had been struck, and memories flooded back.

Before he became a sandman, when his child and wife were still alive, that lovely little angel also depended on him in the same way.

He was determined to protect them for the rest of his life, but he failed to do so.

“You’re right, I will always protect you, and this time there won’t be any more accidents.” William Baker crouched down and looked at Katie, making a soft but firm promise.

Looking into William Baker's tender gaze, Katie kissed his cheek, then wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him.

"Drip drip!"

Just as William Baker was enjoying this long-lost warmth, his cell phone rang at an inopportune moment.

Seeing the nickname "Dog Shit Rumlow" on the caller ID, William Baker decisively pressed the hang-up button without any hesitation or doubt.

Back home, looking at the phone that had just been hung up, Rumlow gritted his teeth and cursed, "That damn idiot Baker! He actually took Katie out to play while I was away!"

“He’s a damn fugitive, it’s no big deal if he gets caught, but how could he let Katie take such a risk with him!”

"What if Katie gets targeted by S.H.I.E.L.D. if she goes with him?! What if Katie gets hurt if they fight?!"

"F***! F***! F***! When he gets back, I'll turn him into a pulp and smear him down the drain! You stupid Baker!"

Leave notice, will resume updating tomorrow.

Going out today

Chapter 198, The Unmasked Cracks

Because it was Holm who took the initiative to request the meeting, he finally arrived at his home before Garriott.

He sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for Garrett's arrival. Bronsky's blood sample was placed in a special little box on the coffee table.

"They're here, and with so many people. This old guy is really afraid of dying," Venom suddenly warned Holm.

As it spoke, Holm also sensed Garrett approaching.

Although only his figure could be seen on the street, he sensed that many people were moving around him, all hidden in the shadows.

After sensing that Holm was becoming less under his control, Garriott increased the number of guards around him.

This change clearly demonstrates that although he still maintains an arrogant and imposing leadership demeanor in front of Holm, he is actually very wary of Holm's strength and is constantly worried about their meetings.
