Chapter 720 Natasha's Determination

After temporarily subduing a few Black Widows, Dane immediately headed to Ukraine, ready to subdue the remaining spies in one fell swoop.

Although they only obeyed Dane temporarily, he had a way to completely conquer these people in the future.

People still need to have faith and goals. They have already developed a lot of skills. Dane doesn't believe that any of them really want to become ordinary people. He will give them a stage to show their abilities. He believes that they will like the word "justice" as they are eager to wash away the shame of the past.

New York, Stark Group.

Obadiah does things really roughly, probably because he is the second-in-command of the company and the actual boss (Tony doesn't take care of things), so he is a little unscrupulous in doing things.

Natasha sneaked into his office at night and took only a few minutes to unlock the computer password. She found the email address that Obadiah used to do bad things and also found evidence of his transaction with the Ten Rings Gang.

However, the other side does not seem to be on the same page with Obadiah. The two sides seem to be negotiating, but the other side has not revealed Tony's whereabouts. The good news is that Tony Stark's life should be safe.

Natasha played the role of a SHIELD agent very well, and she immediately informed Nick Fury of this information.

"Can you find the other party's IP address?"

"No, that's a fake address. The other party is very vigilant and very professional."

After all, they were originally hired to kill Tony, so the people Obadiah hired were naturally capable.

Nick thought for a moment and said, "Since they're still in touch, there's still a chance. They'll definitely contact us again. Keep a close eye on Obadiah and report any developments immediately!"

"understood."

Natasha hung up the phone, packed up her things, and left the company.

But she did not return to her apartment, but went to another place, which was a residential area for wealthy people.

Her target is a man named "Alexander Pierce", the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick's immediate superior.

Natasha once heard from Hawkeye while chatting that Nick became the director because of this person's recommendation.

This is actually quite interesting. You have to know that given the national conditions in the United States, it is generally difficult for blacks to hold high positions.

SHIELD has such a huge presence around the world, and the power of its leader is unimaginable, but the director is actually black! Who would dare to believe this?

Natasha initially wanted to start the investigation from Nick Fury, but then thought it was not feasible.

Not to mention that Nick himself is a very capable agent with excellent anti-detection capabilities. As the director, the protection force around him is probably difficult even for the president to match, so Natasha has very few chances.

On the contrary, senior officials like Alexander Pierce who have retired from the front line may still have opportunities.

Since he was the previous director, he must have some unknown secrets in his hands. Natasha decided to find a breakthrough from him.

Pierce has retired from the front line for many years and now serves as the Minister of the Security Council. This identity is visible and has traces to follow.

Natasha wants to thank Nick for sending her to Stark Group. As a veteran military-industrial giant, Stark itself has vested interests with many senior officials, and Pierce is one of them.

His personal information can also be found in Stark's top-secret files. Natasha, who is on a mission for S.H.I.E.L.D., can access this file openly.

Hard work pays off. After searching and reasoning for a long time, she found Pierce's residence.

That night, Natasha sneaked into Alexander's house.

Pierce is wealthy and his residence is located in a wealthy area.

Natasha easily sneaked in, quickly located Pierce's mansion, and entered without much effort.

There seemed to be no one in the mansion. Natasha thought about it and realized that most rich people like to own multiple properties. The address found from Stark might be just one of Pierce's many properties. She wondered if it would contain the information she was looking for.

After carefully searching every corner of the house, Natasha found nothing unusual, but she was not discouraged. Intelligence work is often so boring.

Finally in the study, she found a computer.

After thinking about it, Natasha turned on the computer and set a password as expected.

She pulled out the device she got from the Red Room and started decoding it, without using S.H.I.E.L.D. equipment.

It took about an hour to finally unlock the password. Natasha searched very quickly and found that there was a hidden file that also had a password set.

She was shocked and continued to decode. It took her a long time before she finally opened the file.

But when she saw this, her expression changed instantly.

One of the documents was actually written entirely in Russian, and the symbol at the beginning made her shudder. It was a skull with six tentacles shaped like octopus tentacles attached to it.

"Hydra..." Natasha muttered to herself.

The story of Captain America fighting Hydra has been published in comics and sold well all over the world, so it is natural that Natasha cannot fail to recognize this logo.

She quickly read the file and found that it was a report log about the "Winter Soldier". The timestamp showed that the document was dated not long ago.

Natasha's heart suddenly turned cold.

She once imagined that everything Dane said was false, because Hawkeye did not look like he was faking it, so how could he be Hydra?

After reading the document bit by bit, Natasha suddenly fell silent.

After thinking for a long time, she turned on a new mobile phone and called someone with an anonymous number.

Soon, the call was connected, but there was no sound.

"It's me." Natasha could only speak first.

"It seems you already have the answer."

Natasha said as if she was giving a mission report: "I didn't dare to check Nick Fury, he was too vigilant, so I checked Alexander Pierce."

"Oh, Pierce, the former director? You're on the right track." An admiring voice came from Dane's side.

He really knew it, and Natasha no longer had any hope.

"I found a document on his computer. It was written in Russian. It was about a project called Winter Soldier..."

She summarized the contents of the document as if reporting to her superiors, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Hawkeye... too?"

She still doesn't believe Hawkeye is Hydra.

"He is not."

Dane's words gave Natasha a sudden shock: "Then Nick..."

"Neither is Nick Fury. Technically speaking, they are the two people who were deceived by Hydra."

"Then you..." Natasha raised her eyebrows.

When Dane said that SHIELD was Hydra, she thought all of them were Hydra members.

"Natasha, although not all members of S.H.I.E.L.D. are from Hydra, most of the 317 members are closely connected to Hydra, and it's hard to tell whether they are human or demonic.

Nick Fury and Hawkeye...are working for Hydra more than for S.H.I.E.L.D. Even though they are unaware of it subjectively, they are objectively serving Hydra."

Natasha fell silent again.

"what do you want to do?"

"Why don't you ask yourself, what are you going to do after you know this?" The voice on the other end was smiling.

Natasha was a little confused again: "I... I don't know..." She didn't have deep feelings for S.H.I.E.L.D., but Barton was still a friend after all, and he was the one who pulled her out of the darkness, so she wanted to do something.

Dane seemed to understand her thoughts and said, "Now that you know the truth, why don't you just treat joining S.H.I.E.L.D. as a counter-infiltration against Hydra?

Hydra is growing through the shell of this organization, so they must have great ambitions. You can find out what they are trying to do and correct it. Isn't that what you have always wanted to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

"You came from the darkness, but betrayed the Red House. Didn't you just want to start over? Do you want to become Hydra?"

"Of course not!"

"Then destroy it! Just like Captain America did back then."

The title of Captain America is still very useful. Sometimes it is difficult for Dane to understand. Although they have opposing positions, Russia just likes to align itself with America.

The Red Guardian also cares about Captain America's opinion of him, and even calls himself the other party's rival. No one else can compare...

"I see!"

Black Widow thus officially became Dane's tool for infiltrating the SHIELD.

Chapter 721 Black Widows

Over the next few days, Dane and the surrendered Black Widows "swept" Ukraine, and the team grew stronger.

As he expected, the first thing the Black Widows who were released from control thought of after waking up was revenge.

There is a saying: A happy childhood heals a lifetime, while an unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal.

At least Natasha and Yelena had a few years of happy childhood, even if it was fake.

But most of the Black Widows left their parents before they could remember and grew up in the red house.

Looking back at the past, all we see is misfortune, which makes many people hate Derekoff and Melina.

If it weren't for Dane's suppression, Melina, the instigator, would not have had a good ending.

It is impossible for the Black Widows who grew up in such an environment to return to normal life.

They hated Drakev, but when they really lost his command, they didn't know what to do or where to go in the future. When there was no one to decide their lives anymore, they fell into deep confusion.

At this time, Dane provided them with a new choice, which was not really a choice, but just blind obedience.

Melina played a very important role in this process. Even though these awakened Black Widows hated her to the core, they still subconsciously adopted her opinions.

They are used to obeying and have not yet learned to make their own decisions.

Dane found that he didn't need to be a bad guy at all. These girls were still grateful to him. Even though they knew he had ulterior motives, the fact that he could provide them with a shelter at this time was enough to make them grateful. If other people really discovered their identities, the consequences would be unpredictable.

After gathering all the Black Widows, Dane found that they were a little different from what he had imagined.

In the movie, Drakev controls tens of thousands of Black Widows, distributed all over the world, of all races and ethnicities.

But the number of Black Widows he has gathered now is less than a hundred, and most of them are Eastern Slavs, with a small number of South Slavs.

I think this is probably because Drakev's business has not yet expanded to other areas, and his influence has not expanded to the extent it will be a few years later.

From this we can see that the impact of the New York War was far-reaching and it completely changed some things.

But this is indeed a good thing for Umbrella. To be honest, compared with the old giants, Umbrella's foundation is still too shallow. Even if there are thousands of Black Widows, it will be a help to him, but also a huge burden.

Not to mention that before using these female spies, Dane has to subdue them first, and this alone will take up a lot of his time.

On the contrary, it is not as good as it is now. Although dozens of Black Widows are not a small number, it is much easier to arrange them.

It is worth mentioning that Dane found Yelena, who was still receiving training in the Red House. She was a few years younger than Natasha and had just reached adulthood.

On the private plane, Yelena stared at the back of Melina's head, making this battle-hardened female spy feel a chill on the back of her head.

Unlike other Black Widows, Yelena was adopted by Melina herself. The deeper her feelings for her were in the past, the more hatred she has for her now.

Unlike the situation in the movie, Yelena in the movie has helped Drakoff carry out many assassination missions, and even personally dealt with many friends who had trained together.

When she was freed from the mental control, the psychological pressure she endured can be imagined, and she urgently needed family affection to alleviate the growing guilt in her heart.

Therefore, in the movie, she can tolerate the Red Guardian Alexi's various annoying behaviors. When Natasha angrily denounces that they are not a real family, she will almost plead and cry that those feelings are definitely not fake...

But now, Yelena has not experienced those cruel things yet. She is still very young and does not need family affection to heal her heartache. Therefore, she has more of a complicated resentment towards Melina.

He blamed her for deceiving him and hated her for abandoning him, but at the same time, the old feelings of admiration still remained deep in his memory. Dane's mental strength was very strong, and his spiritual perception could even capture the emotions overflowing from Yelena's brain waves, like a fan-shaped graph. Not to mention, it was quite interesting.

"I have a question~" Dane began.

Melina quickly forgot the thorny gaze behind her and cheered up: "Excuse me."

"The chemical you created is something that can completely change the structure of the brain. Natasha's brain should have been permanently modified, right?"

The name "Natasha" caught Yelena's attention and she pricked up her ears.

In the original movie, when they met again a few years later, Natasha was still being held captive by Drake because of the pheromone lock, and when she faced him she could only be beaten and could not fight back.

If she hadn't been so determined as to temporarily cut off her sympathetic nerves by breaking her nose, she would never have been able to touch a single hair of Drakev.

Melina nodded, indicating that he was right.

"Then why was Natasha able to break free from control?" This doesn't seem to fit the setting.

Since the pheromone lock is still effective, it proves that Natasha should still be under control.

Melina was silent for a moment before explaining, "Because this is Drakev's plan..."

Since she had already decided to abandon Drakev, there was no need for Melina to hide the secret for him any longer. She vaguely felt that the man in front of her would probably not let Drakev survive, so she behaved very sensibly.
