Hale remained silent, lowering her head and drinking coffee sip by sip; although her expression wasn't visible, it wasn't difficult to guess from her mechanical, lifeless movements that her mood was definitely not as calm as she appeared.
Her loyalty and dedication to HYDRA were unquestionable, absolutely no less than any other HYDRA leader.
During her time at the HYDRA School, her mentor was Daniel Whitehall; Baron Strucker and Agent Sitwell, who was undercover in S.H.I.E.L.D., were in the same year.
In terms of performance, she was more outstanding than them.
But she was a woman!
In that era, the status of women was not high, especially outstanding women.
Performing better than men was not necessarily a good thing; Hale suffered no less from exclusion and injustice!
She passionately wanted to shed blood and sacrifice for the cause and ideals of HYDRA, but when she graduated, classmates who were inferior to her were assigned good jobs and tasks, while she, as the most outstanding student, became a tool for breeding genetic warriors.
Through artificial insemination, she didn't even know who her child's Father was!
Now Sitwell is a senior Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Baron Strucker has his own Base and influence.
What about her?
Currently, she isn't even a General; she has no power, no influence, and no money!
She silently accepted all of this, but now she is told that her so-called faith and dedication were fake, and the true purpose of legitimate HYDRA is to welcome back an Inhuman from an alien Planet, a parasite!
Moreover, once he returns, her fate will either be Death or becoming a monster that can only obey orders.
Let alone ruling the Earth, the Earth might not even belong to humans anymore.
It's broken!
Her mindset has completely collapsed!
Either die in silence or erupt in silence.
She neither died nor erupted, but like a walking dead, she finished the coffee in her cup, then raised her head and looked at Samuel.
"Just say it directly, what exactly is Your goal!"
Samuel readily complied and said frankly: "Work for me."
Hale said: "You want me to defect to You? Okay, what can You give me!"
Samuel clicked his tongue and shook his head: "It seems like You haven't been doing very well in HYDRA."
Hale's face darkened: "What do You mean?"
"Do You know about the 100% successful Super Soldier Serum? Do You know about the Dionysus Factor that can bring people back from the dead?" Samuel asked with a smile.
Hale was surprised: "You, You have these things?"
Samuel said gleefully: "This is not a secret; I have done business with S.H.I.E.L.D. and General Ross, and if You investigate Yourself, You will know that Void Express doesn't have much else, but it has the most Super Soldiers!"
You have been abandoned by HYDRA because You are no longer valuable; Your daughter, the genetic warrior Ruby, she shouldn't have received the Super Soldier Serum, right? She should have been abandoned too."
No matter how good the effect of a genetic warrior is, it's not as good as the original Super Soldier!"
Hale's expression was incredibly ugly; she believed Samuel hadn't lied to her, which meant that she and her daughter were indeed not that valuable anymore and might indeed have been abandoned.
In other words, as long as there is a suitable opportunity or a necessary opportunity, they can be sacrificed by the organization at any time!
Taking a deep breath, Hale asked: "What do You need me to do?"
I have arranged people to deal with Baron Strucker; how long do You need to take over his forces, and what kind of help do You need?"
Hale was startled upon hearing this, then calmly began to consider.
After a while, she said in a deep voice: "I need my superior leader eliminated, and strong support from other HYDRA leaders to be promoted and reasonably take over Baron Strucker's forces and legacy."
Samuel smiled and nodded, already having a preliminary plan in mind. "Wait for my news."
"Okay."
Hale didn't say much; she needed time to do some investigation and preparation.
If HYDRA is really like that, with her faith already collapsed, she wouldn't mind changing course for herself and her daughter!
Samuel appeared silently in front of Hale and disappeared silently again.
Promoting Hale only requires three things.
One: Kill her superior.
This is the easiest thing; her superior refers to a HYDRA member also undercover in the Air Force, whose position in the Air Force is also higher than hers, also a superior.
Killing him is very easy.
Using Mind Manipulation Ability to find him, finding him when he drives out, it's easy to make him 'accidentally' die without leaving a trace.
Two: Find General Ross or others who can influence Military promotions and help raise Hale's rank to General.
Three: Find a HYDRA leader who supports Hale's promotion and allows her to take over Baron Strucker's legacy.
The target, Gideon Malick, will do.
Among all the HYDRA leaders, his goal is the purest and easiest to control.
Moreover, Samuel is also very interested in Hive's ability to control all Inhumans; after all, besides the Inhumans from Afterlife on Earth, there are countless Inhumans on Attilan on the Moon.
In the comics, Black Bolt is one of Earth's strongest Super Heroes, but no matter how strong he is, as long as he is an Inhuman, he will be controlled by Hive's ability.
The Inhumans are quite a strong and powerful force; whether it's the Zombie Universe or other Universes, or invading other parallel Worlds or being invaded by people from other Worlds, they can exert considerable combat power.
With a clear mind and a set goal, Samuel returned to the Void Building after casually eliminating Hale's superior and did not actively seek out General Ross or Gideon Malick.
As the saying goes, eagerness doesn't make a good deal; anyway, Peggy won't deal with Baron Strucker that quickly, so it's better to wait for them to come to him.
With many good cards in hand, all of which they want, Samuel naturally wouldn't give up the opportunity to control them for nothing.
The next day.
Someone came to visit.
In the small garden, Samuel was basking in the afternoon sun on a lounge chair by the pool; a Black Widow whispered to him for a moment, and after getting permission, she turned and left.
Soon after, the Black Widow returned with a short-haired blonde girl.
The short-haired blonde girl couldn't help but show surprise after entering the small garden.
She was surprised partly because it looked like a paradise, and partly because she knew what the top floor of the Void Building looked like from the outside.
It was just an ordinary roof, with nothing on it!
That shock of spatial distortion was only forcibly cast aside when she got close to Samuel.
Looking at the strong and perfect-bodied Samuel, a strange look flashed in her eyes; she subconsciously took a few extra glances before speaking: "Mr. Samuel, hello, I am Stephanie Malick; I hope You don't mind my abrupt visit."
