Chapter 370: Arrival of Balthazar
🕑 Added 2024-02-08 11:57:41 +0000 UTCSitwell pushed up his glasses, and a white light seemed to flash across the lenses.
"According to the latest intelligence we obtained at S.H.I.E.L.D., Temari from the Sunagakure Puppet Shop is the daughter of the Kazekage, the leader of the Hidden Sand Village."
"With her identity, it's very likely that she carried some really valuable supplies when she came out."
"As for the Body-enhancing serum, although we haven't developed such a side-effect-free serum, these extraordinary forces might have really mastered it."
"Based on the cooperation with Charles Agency, as well as the consistent delivery of genuine information, the newly opened Suangakure Hidden Puppet Shop should not sell counterfeit goods."
"Furthermore, according to our intelligence, a ninja graduates from the ninja academy at the age of about twelve. If someone have exceptional talent, he/she will graduate even earlier.”
“Since their lower-level ninja already possesses such formidable strength, it might be attributed to the effect of this Body-enhancing serum."
"Perhaps this enhancer is already widespread among the ninja community, possibly administered from a young age."
"However, the specific effects can be easily clarified by buying a sample and conducting experiments."
Upon hearing Sitwell's analysis, Pierce nodded, finding his thoughts aligned with his own.
"Is there a possibility of directly obtaining the formula from the other party?"
Sitwell shook his head, "As long as the other party is not foolish, they wouldn't directly sell us the formula."
"Unless this enhancer is very low-end."
"No, even if it's low-end, as long as we don't have a similar product, they won't sell the formula."
"Just like the United States selling technology products to some countries. Only when other countries break through such technologies will US sell or even provide the technology. Otherwise, they will only keep it to themselves"
"But after confirming the real effect of the enhancer serum, we can buy several more and send some samples to the scientific team for research."
"I believe with actual samples; the scientific team's members will be able to replicate it sooner or later."
Pierce nodded in agreement with Sitwell's analysis.
The possibility was indeed significant, but he still spoke, "Although there's a high likelihood that the other party won't sell the actual formula, but we can still try, maybe there will be a different outcome."
"Ward mentioned that the other party saw through his electrostatic disguise, suggesting that if we want to show sincerity, we shouldn't engage in such low-end disguises.”
“Once the materials are ready, arrange a team of non-S.H.I.E.L.D. members to make the exchange with the Sungakure Puppet Shop."
"This way, even if Coulson and others come across it, they won't trace it back to the S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Director, in terms of personnel for material escort, we must be fully prepared. Since a werewolf appeared and kidnapped Jane, there's no guarantee it won't happen again."
After a moment of contemplation, Pierce spoke, "For safety, I'll activate the Winter Soldier for the entire escort. With him around, ordinary people won't be able to take these things away."
"In addition, since this transaction is very confidential, only the two sides know about it. If it leaks, it can only mean we have a mole."
"However, how could there be a mole in our team?"
Pierce and Sitwell exchanged a glance. It was highly unlikely that there could be a mole in Hydra's team.
They had great confidence in the loyalty of their team members. Otherwise, they wouldn't have hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D. for so long without being discovered.
...
In the magical world-
Balthazar walked on the plains near the abyss, inspecting the changes in this area.
The invasion from the Hell dimension had been repelled, and a magical barrier covered the entire magical world.
However, after the invasion, this land had undergone significant changes due to the infiltration of hellish creatures' flesh and blood, making it look different.
While Balthazar was examining the changes, a paper crane sent by Ginny flew over.
Seeing the paper crane, Balthazar frowned slightly. He recognized it as the item he gave to Ginny for contacting him, and it was only meant for important matters. The other party wouldn't use it for normal communication.
After receiving the paper crane, Balthazar saw the urgent message inside: "Emergency situation, return quickly!"
At the same time, in the magical tower where David was practicing, je also received the message from the paper crane.
The moment they received the information, they stopped their work and directly used Merlin's teleportation array to arrive at Charles Agency.
In the training room where Ginny anxiously waited, after a few hours, Balthazar and his apprentice finally arrived.
Balthazar glanced at Ginny, who was guarding the place, and directly asked, "What happened?"
David was also curious, "Miss Ginny, is there something important, something even my senior brother Supreme Merlin can't handle?"
"Master Balthazar, something special has happened to Supreme Merlin. We are not completely sure about the nature of the situation here, and we need you to come and confirm it."
Afterwards, Ginny explained the phenomenon that occurred on Charles Doyle to Balthazar and David.
David was confused, although he had improved his strength a lot, he had not yet devoted himself to magical studies.
Although he had recently supplemented a lot of knowledge, his understanding was still insufficient, and he did not comprehend this phenomenon.
At this moment, Balthazar frowned, slowly saying, "Let's go to the scene first. Only by seeing the actual situation can I determine what happened."
"Okay, I'll have John take us back to the base."
For Ginny's suggestion, Balthazar directly refused, "Time is of the essence. Let's use a faster method."
Balthazar directly summoned a steel giant eagle with magic and then took Ginny to the backyard of the agency.
The three had just arrived in the backyard when the steel giant eagle flew over and landed in the open space. Balthazar and David jumped onto the giant eagle, and Ginny, seeing this, also hopped on.
Seeing that everyone was on board, Balthazar spoke, "Let's go."
The steel giant eagle made a leap in the courtyard and then spread its wings, flying towards the location of the base.
As the steel giant eagle flew, its speed was swift. What was supposed to be an hour's drive took only a few minutes, and they quickly arrived back at the base.
As soon as the giant eagle reached the base's airspace, the guarding werewolf team and the ninjas noticed it. Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi saw Ginny and others on the giant eagle, so he did not allow the others to attack, letting the steel giant eagle land safely.
Ginny cast a glance at Uchiha Itachi, who was guarding on the side, without saying much. She then led Balthazar and David straight to the building where Charles was located.
