Comics: Rise of Hydra

In New York, the subways and sewer pipes form a complex and vast underground world.

The visibility here is low, the ground is wet and slippery, and good people rarely see the scenery of the underground kingdom, but this is part of the city, the underground world, a paradise for all shady creatures.

Lauren and the two were wearing black raincoats and were traveling quickly through the spacious sewers in the underground world. Daken was very familiar with the surrounding environment. He led Lauren quickly through the complicated sewer pipes, and then passed through a narrow path. Suddenly open and noisy.

A bar in the underground world. The music is so loud that it can make people's eardrums numb. About a hundred shady creatures gather here, drinking, taking drugs, fighting, promiscuity, picking up soap...

Anyway, basically everything happens at the same time here except for the strict prohibition of taking human lives.

In the octagonal iron cage in the center of the bar, a muscular weirdo covered in thorns was fighting wildly with a two-meter-tall werewolf. The most primitive and savage fight, muscles colliding, flesh and blood flying everywhere, surrounded by hundreds of people with faces. Red men and women were dancing around, holding high bottles of the cheapest spirits, roaring with excitement, and stamping hard on the sewage-filled ground with their powerful feet.

Violent, bloody, chaotic.

Several gay men soon discovered the unfamiliar faces and walked towards them laughing, but were immediately knocked away by Daken with his fist.

Lauren curled her lips and smiled, and whispered, "This ghost place is simply heaven."

Daken picked up a bottle of liquor from the hand of the girl selling liquor next to him, stuffed a hundred-dollar bill into the deep groove squeezed out of the other person's upper body with two small handkerchiefs, raised his head and took a sip of liquor, and then felt comfortable Had a loud drink

"This is the white ghost's territory. He will come to us. Boss, I want to remind you first that I am not very popular here."

An astonishingly obese white man with a heavy sweat, bald head, slovenly clothes, and a thick white beard that was trimmed very neatly was drinking and carousing with a few people around him. When he accidentally saw Daken, his face suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and walked away with a blue complexion. Come over.

"Daken, you damn bastard, how dare you appear in front of me?"

"You see?"

Helplessly shrugging his shoulders at Lauren, Daken grinned.

"Hi, dear Big Ben, the beard is very beautiful, I said it will grow back."

"Bastard, you're dead today."

With his hands clasping together, he strode towards Lauren and the two of them.

"Go back and drink your wine, or I'll beat the shit out of you..."

Laurent laughed, deliberately giving off a dangerous aura.

Daken pretended to follow the call.

"Then beat the crap out of you."

The giant man stopped cautiously. Almost all the people who could enter this bar were extremely vicious people. He was keenly aware of the dangerous aura on Lauren's body. Compared with the lunatic he met in a bar in Canada three years ago, A more dangerous smell.

Damn!

Coughing awkwardly, the giant man was hesitating whether to retreat.

At this moment, a few people quietly walked out of the crowd.

"This is the Morlock Bar. You are all my guests, and guests are not allowed to do anything in the store."

A bald head with pale skin.

Tall and thin, with a pair of big protruding eyes, he looked like a dried corpse, but he was wearing an exaggerated silk suit, and his ten fingers were covered with large rings inlaid with various gemstones.

"Ha! Caliban, it's been so long!"

Daken spread his arms enthusiastically.

Caliban rolled his eyes strangely and said coldly, "It has been a long time since you caused me to lose diamonds worth thirty million, gave me a piece of information on credit, and brought me several waves of trouble. "

Daken rubbed his nose awkwardly. Caliban turned to face Lauren. After an exaggerated bow, he said with a smile on his face, "But you are different. I smell big business in you. Caliban will always welcome you." For such people, please come with me, Mr. Laurent."

Laurent smiled. He was a smart man who knew under what circumstances, he should show his strength first.

Caliban's living room was as ostentatious as Caliban himself, with golden wallpaper and exaggerated decorations inlaid with gold and various gemstones everywhere.

A black-haired beauty with a proud figure poured three glasses of whiskey with an indifferent expression, and then stood silently behind Caliban, her eyes sharp, as if she was a loyal guard.

Caliban stretched out his hand and gestured, "Please sit down, sit down wherever you want. I like people like you, Mr. Loren... Haha, every time someone like you comes, God, there are piles of money."

Lauren leaned on the sofa, lit a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and said lightly, "Money? Hehe... Mr. Caliban, I heard Daken tell me that you can buy any information here, and the same We will also pay a high price for any unique information.”

Caliban understood and grinned, "Of course, any information has its value. As long as you can come up with any information that I don't know, I will give him an absolutely reasonable price."

Lauren nodded and said

"So, tell me, how much is Professor Charles' whereabouts worth?"

Caliban's hand holding the wine glass shook uncontrollably, his gray eyes stared at Lauren, he licked his lips and said cautiously

"Professor Charles? This is big news. There are many people who want to know his whereabouts... Well, 100 million US dollars. I can pay 100 million US dollars to buy this news..."

Lauren looked at Caliban with a calm smile on his face, "Ha, one hundred million dollars?"

"One hundred million dollars?"

Daken's eyes widened, and he almost doubted whether the person in front of him was the miser Caliban.

Lauren snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, moved forward, and looked at Caliban with interest. "One hundred million dollars, hehe... Mr. Caliban, Daken didn't tell me that you are still a Such a generous gentleman, what made you pay such a high price?"

"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is worth the price."

Caliban simply spread his hands and said, "I am a businessman, and I will measure everything in terms of money. Therefore, I am willing to make friends with people with strong backgrounds like you, and I welcome you to come to Humble House more often." , which is very helpful to my business."

Lauren narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile.

"Mr. Caliban, you really have admirable intelligence capabilities. Haha, okay, I am also very willing to maintain long-term cooperation with people like you. One hundred million dollars? Although it is very tempting, I am not a very optimistic person." The person who won the money... I would like to exchange information about Charles for a message."

Caliban laughed.

"What do you want to know?"

Lauren smiled and said

"The mutant who assassinated the president, that blue-skinned boy, I want to know his specific location."

Caliban looked at Lauren with some surprise until Lauren frowned slightly and said with a smile, "That blue-skinned boy has been really popular recently. I know he is there, but the value of the two pieces of information is not equal."

Laurent made a slight gesture and said with a smile

"No problem, I would like to treat this as a gift to a friend, and Daken still owes you a lot of money, doesn't he?"

Caliban nodded, smiled, then motioned to the black-haired beauty to bring a pen and paper, quickly wrote down an address and gave it to Lauren

"Well, okay, Daken has found a good boss!! Hehe, this is where he is now. I suggest you go there as soon as possible, because this little guy will probably go to other places in a moment. I can Also, I have a piece of news for you, the Red Devil has been pursuing that boy."

Lauren nodded, "I know this... Haha, if I meet Asazo, I think he will be happy to see me."

Under Caliban's eager gaze, Lauren wrote the words Big Herring and the current longitude and latitude on the paper he handed over.

Caliban hurriedly put the note away, thought for a moment, and said, "Well! Since you don't care about Asazo, well, Mr. Loren, I think I need to remind you..."

Lauren nodded.

Caliban mysteriously said

"It's not just Asazo who is eyeing that kid, there's another group of people..."

Lauren looked at him and asked with interest

"Huh? Another gang?"

If it were the X-Men, businessmen like Caliban would obviously not be so mysterious.

Caliban suddenly laughed

"Do you believe in ghosts and gods? Mr. Laurent."

Laurent was stunned for a moment and shook his head strangely.

"No, I am an atheist. I firmly believe that even if there are so-called "gods", they are just a group of more powerful creatures."

Caliban nodded in complete agreement and whispered:

"It is said, just said, that Asazo belongs to an ancient ethnic group born in hell, and there are their enemies on the earth, another group of guardians... the church, servants of God, or something else, in short, someone A mysterious organization... A little brother of mine, um, a human being, a homeless man, the kind who would lie on the street and no one would take a second look at him. He used this news to get a job with me. A bottle of good wine, they also focused on that boy... Haha, of course, this is just a legend, maybe the bastard suffered from drug addiction and had auditory hallucinations, who knows..."

Lauren was really shocked. Caliban, the white ghost, was indeed one of the most famous intelligence dealers among mutants and even the underground world. He even found some clues about the existence of the mysterious mages of Kama Taj.

Luo Lun looked unmoved and said with a smile and applause.

"Thank you for your message, Mr. Caliban, we will be very careful. Well, your ability to collect intelligence surprised me very much. I think it is really necessary for us to establish a long-term cooperative relationship... Haha! !"

Caliban let out a breath of relief

"It's not a problem at all, Mr. Loren. I am very willing to maintain a cooperative relationship with a well-informed person like you."

Lauren stood up and nodded.

"Don't worry, Caliban, then, it's that simple. My purpose has been achieved, and the transaction with you is very pleasant... Of course, I also believe that you will not reveal that I sold information to you."

Caliban nodded repeatedly and smiled.

"Our goal at Mowgli is to never reveal the identity of the intelligence provider, so you can rest assured."

Lauren narrowed her eyes, smiled and nodded.

After Laurent and Daken left, Caliban took out the note from his pocket, kissed it twice, and said happily to the beauty next to him.

"Betsy, tell Asazo that I have found the whereabouts of Charles and ask him to immediately prepare the payment according to the terms we agreed on."

"And that poor guy Logan! Hmm! Forget it, let's contact Gray Jean directly. At least Charles left her a large amount of cash."

Pouring his lips in excitement, Caliban lowered his voice and said

"In addition, inform the Black Emperor that Magneto will appear here in the next month, haha... One piece of information has solved three businesses. I am really a genius at making money."

Betsy nodded and said with a serious look, "Caliban, my spiritual energy can sense an aura from the man named Lauren that makes me very uncomfortable..."

"Don't worry, Betsy, I'm not a fool. I won't provoke that guy. You know I'm more cautious than anyone else..."

Caliban interrupted her words, crossed his legs high, sipped the wine happily, and then said to himself naturally

"Hey, Mr. Loren, besides being a SHIELD agent, he seems to have another background, but what does this have to do with us? There are too many guys with mysterious backgrounds in the world. I know very well. What kind of information cannot be touched... We are just here to make money, and I don’t want to offend those dangerous organizations..."

While Caliban was toasting in excitement, a little bit of faint green dissipated on the sofa where Lauren was sitting.

"Black King? Karma Taj! Hehe... the water here in Caliban is very deep!!"

At this time, Lauren was still parked in the sewer not far from the bar. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a bright smile appeared on his face, and said to Daken who was warming up next to him.

"Well, the operation is cancelled. A smart guy working with such a well-informed intelligence businessman is not a bad thing for us at the moment."

"If he really finds something, then I think the organization will take action immediately... Killing everyone here is too simple, isn't it? Even if it means blowing up most of New York."
