[Frog] Chapter 265: A New Research Breakthrough
🕑 Added 2025-01-04 19:13:04 +0000 UTC“What are you doing? Who are you? I’m calling the police!” Alan shouted perfunctorily, though he didn’t expect Hela to let go.
“This place will be my base for a couple of days. If Emperor shows up again, I’ll see him immediately,” Hela replied.
She loosened her grip, and Alan fell to the ground, realizing she was still fixated on encountering Emperor.
And so, Hela inexplicably began living at Alan’s house. During this time, Gwen also, for reasons unknown, moved in.
One day, as Alan and Gwen were out buying chocolate for Lady Venom, Gwen suddenly said, “The school break is coming up soon. Do you have any plans?”
Alan glanced at the sky, thinking of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Project Pegasus. Perhaps once Red Queen fused with the Mind Stone and gained a body of her own, he would set off to leave Earth.
“When the break starts, I’ll have something important to tell you,” he said.
Gwen nodded, and the two returned home. As soon as they entered, Hela’s voice echoed through the house.
“Why hasn’t Emperor shown up yet?”
Gwen put the chocolate into the refrigerator, puzzled about why Alan allowed this woman to stay. Hela also seemed to harbor immense hidden power.
Hela noticed their return and suddenly gave them a peculiar look. During her days here, she had observed how close Gwen and Alan were. Gwen seemed to instinctively follow Alan’s advice, a dynamic that couldn’t simply be explained as an assistant’s role.
Hela’s curiosity was piqued. She dragged Gwen to the sofa, intent on prying into her relationship with Alan.
Meanwhile, in his room, Alan brought food to Wanda. Because Hela refused to leave, Wanda had been hiding there. Although it was inconvenient, Wanda had no complaints and seemed perpetually cheerful.
Taking advantage of Wanda’s mealtime, Alan stepped out onto the balcony and summoned the Red Queen.
“How’s the fusion with the Mind Stone going?” he asked.
The Red Queen displayed her research results, projecting a glowing image into Alan’s mind.
It was a heart, pulsating and radiating the brilliance of the Mind Stone.
“This simulated heart is now functional. Next, I’ll integrate vibranium to forge a physical body,” the Red Queen said, her expression unchanging, as if unaware of how her words could upend the world.
“Can we proceed with the experiment now?” Alan asked anxiously.
The Red Queen nodded slowly. “Yes, but not here. We need a more spacious location.”
Alan immediately thought of Sokovia. Now a desolate wasteland after Hydra’s withdrawal, no one had visited the area since.
“Let’s go right now!”
After giving Wanda a few instructions, Alan opened the door and walked out. Gwen was no longer in sight.
“Where’s Gwen?” he asked.
Hela didn’t even glance at him. “There was a robbery nearby. She went to handle it.”
Alan nodded and turned to leave, but Hela suddenly called after him.
“Aren’t you her assistant? Why didn’t she tell you before going out?”
Alan froze, too nervous to look back for fear of revealing something suspicious.
“Uh... She usually doesn’t bother telling me about minor things like this.”
Before his words even finished, Alan bolted, finding a secluded corner to don the Emperor Armor before disappearing from sight.
