Ch. 124 Hydra's Top Male Model
🕑 Added 2023-11-02 16:01:00 +0000 UTCAlthough the current situation was a bit different from what he remembered, after hearing the term "Symbiote Dragon," Russell had already made up his mind.
So what if it's the malevolent God Knull, the creator of the symbiote race? There's nothing to fear!
Leaving aside the fact that Knull's physical body was sealed by symbiotes on the planet Klyntar.
Even if the frozen entity isn't the symbiote dragon but Knull himself, there shouldn't be any major issues.
This is Earth, a place harboring countless big shots, even if most of them rarely make appearances. When the need arises, they'll intervene without hesitation.
Besides, he also wanted to see how strong the first-generation symbiote dragon, possessed by Knull's soul, really was.
"When do we depart?"
Having made up his mind, Russell asked Bakshi.
"Sooner is better!"
Bakshi quickly replied.
"Then let's go tomorrow."
After a brief thought, Russell decided to set off the next day.
He had just sparred with Kara today and didn't have any intention to continue his physical activities.
Even though the spar seemed more like him bullying Kara singlehandedly, at the end of the day, he did engage.
"Alright! I'll send you the specific departure time and location later."
After saying this, Bakshi hung up the phone.
Once the call with Bakshi ended, Russell tossed his phone aside and began playing the game "Assassin's Creed"
Half an hour later.
Kara, now back in her office attire, flew back to the office and approached Russell, who was immersed in perfect stealth gameplay.
After reaching Russell's side, Kara extended her right hand, revealing her fair and delicate palm.
"Spill it."
Without even turning his head, Russell said directly.
"Give me money, I need money to buy clothes!"
Kara calmly stated her request.
Hearing her words, Russell paused the game, turned to face Kara, and looked at her with a slight sigh of helplessness.
Subsequently, he took out his wallet and handed over his Centurion Black Card to Kara.
The Centurion Black Card was the highest-tier version of the Centurion series launched by American Express in 1999, commonly known as the "Black Card."
Although Russell had a substantial bank balance before, it wasn't until he revealed his identity as a Superhero Serum that he received an invitation from American Express to apply for this card that he had heard about before he transmigration.
The Centurion Black Card is available only through invitation. Once American Express deems you meet the criteria, they send out an exclusive invitation.
Currently, those who possess the Centurion Black Card are mostly world leaders, billionaires, and celebrities.
Unlike the credit cards of other countries, American credit cards don't typically require PINs; a signature suffices when using them.
In theory, only the cardholder should use their credit card.
However, in practice, as long as the cardholder agrees, anyone can use it.
Upon seeing Russell handing her the Centurion Black Card, Kara raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement playing on her face.
Although she wasn't from this world, the famous Centurion Black Card was also present on her Earth.
"I'll be away on a business trip for a while starting tomorrow. You don't have to come to the company until I return."
After saying this, Russell picked up his game controller again and resumed the perfect stealth gameplay.
Kara nodded and stored Russell's Centurion Black Card securely.
Just as she was about to fly out of the office in her office attire, Russell's voice echoed.
"Take the elevator!"
Perhaps due to his short temper, Kara didn't argue with Russell this time. She turned and headed toward the office door.
As she passed by Russell, she even stopped deliberately, giving him a radiant smile like the sun.
Once Kara, in her high heels and with her enticing figure, left the office, Russell put down his game controller, shook his head, and smiled.
The next day.
Noon, twelve o'clock.
Wearing the Endosymbiotic Battle Armor, Russell arrived at the departure point as indicated by Bakshi.
The so-called departure point was actually a private airport.
When Russell arrived at the airport, the team meticulously prepared by Hydra had been waiting for him for two hours.
Bakshi had sent him the departure time of 10 AM.
Russell originally intended to arrive on time.
Unfortunately, he encountered a little unexpected incident.
Knowing that he was going to the Scandinavian Peninsula, Diana took a half-day leave from the museum and engaged him in an intense morning workout.
Since Diana extended the invitation herself, Russell naturally wouldn't decline.
As a result, he was late.
Although he made the Hydra team wait for two hours, Russell had no qualms about it.
Since he was taking a private jet, it didn't matter whether he departed on time or not.
Furthermore, they were all quite familiar by now, and Hydra wouldn't cut ties with him over such a minor issue.
In fact, Russell was somewhat looking forward to a fallout with Hydra.
That way, he could use the excuse of eliminating an evil organization to openly recruit Gwen and the Hulk and conquer Hydra.
Upon arriving at the airport, Russell first deactivated the Endosymbiotic Battle Armor, then approached Bakshi, whose expression had instantly transformed from gloomy to amiable.
At this moment, Bakshi was dressed in a meticulously tailored suit, his hair impeccably groomed, exuding the air of a successful entrepreneur.
Russell didn't pay too much attention to Bakshi.
His attention was fixed on a man emanating an icy aura from head to toe.
This man had unruly hair, wore a mask-like black face covering, and his gaze was piercingly sharp, as though he were an emotionless assassin.
However, the most attention-grabbing feature was his left arm.
It was a silvery-white metallic arm.
The Winter Soldier!
Hydra's top male model!
The first love interest of Captain America!
Before even landing, Russell had spotted Bucky.
In fact, after ending the call with Bakshi yesterday, he had been speculating whether he would meet the infamous Hydra's top male model, Bucky Barnes, today.
In terms of faction, Bukcy and Bakshi belonged to different branches of Hydra.
Bucky's direct superior was the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the current Minister of the Security Council, Alexander Pierce.
Bakshi, on the other hand, reported to Daniel Whitehall.
Although Alexander Pierce and Daniel Whitehall were both part of Hydra's Red Skull faction, they could at most be considered colleagues who usually did their own thing.
After taking a closer look at Bucky, Hydra's top male model, Russell said to Bakshi, "Let's go, time to depart!"
After saying this, he led the way toward the private jet that had been prepared in advance.
Without waiting for Bakshi to say anything, No. 3 manipulated the Endosymbiotic Battle Armor to follow Russell closely and boarded the private jet together.
