Comics: Rise of Hydra
Chapter 42 Guests from Far Away
"The miracle of God Kuru appeared on Whale Rock."
Just when Saboka received the report from his subordinates and was twisting his body excitedly to the beat of the drums, Loren and Daken had already fled back to the research institute in embarrassment.
Daken gasped, grabbed the wine bottle and took a big sip. He shook his head in shock and said, "Damn, what on earth is that? Does that god Kuru really exist?... My intuition tells me that if I run Slow down or I will die!"
Lauren bit her lip. "It's hard to say. It's hard to say. Really, Daken... No matter what it is, we have no way to compete with it."
Lauren had a vague feeling that it was because he analyzed a rock that he triggered some kind of stress reaction.
Yuriko looked at Laurent carefully, and then felt relieved after making sure that he was not injured.
Daken gritted his teeth and asked hesitantly, "Boss, that thing doesn't seem to attack ordinary people, so what should I do? If Saboka gets that power, then Idi will never be able to ascend the throne in this life."
Luo Lun smiled ferociously, "Damn, that kind of power cannot be easily mastered by ordinary people. Huh, no matter who it is, getting it may not be a good thing. If that thing really only attacks people with abilities, then things will be simple. Just wait for those niggas to dig out the stuff, find a group of mercenaries, and snatch it away."
After thinking fiercely, Lauren said in a low voice, "If this kind of scene occurs today, I think Saboka will speed up the excavation immediately. Daken, from today on, you will keep an eye on that construction site. As long as you don't get too close, then The thing won’t be triggered... Anyway, let’s figure out what it is first.”
Daken hummed a few times, nodded and said nothing.
Two more days passed peacefully like this. Saboka covered up the information about Whale Rock very well. At least Edie didn't rush to report the matter to Lauren.
Daken spent most of the day staring at the excavation site, and the huge whale rock seemed to have turned into an ordinary rock again, and no longer showed any strange phenomena.
On the third day, Daken returned to the research institute early and found Lauren with a strange expression, "Boss, Caliban is coming to Nairobi, and he wants to visit you!"
"Caliban?"
Lauren was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
"He came all the way from New York to visit me? Hehe... I remember you said that if there is no big business, Caliban will not leave his underground lair easily?... Very good, interesting, you bring him in .”
Daken stayed with Caliban for half a year and knew a little bit about the communication codes within Caliban's organization, so as soon as Caliban arrived in Nairobi, he could easily get in touch with Daken through some signals.
Daken did not reveal his teleportation ability, but he easily evaded Valon's surveillance, brought Caliban into the living room, and then reported to Lauren that "he's here."
It was still an exaggerated silk suit and handmade lambskin boots. At this moment, Caliban was gulping down ice water regardless of his appearance. He stretched out the cloth and collar around his neck that were used to protect him from the sun, and kept fanning himself with his hat. He muttered in a low voice, "Damn it, Betsy, this damn place is so hot... It is said that the sunshine duration here can reach up to eighteen hours? Damn it! This damn place is simply hell... "
Lauren curled his lips and chuckled. Caliban was not the kind of perfect mutant. His flaws were not only reflected in his weird appearance. He was also a severe albino. Standing under the scorching sun was simply too much for him. It was torture, but it also made Laurent more curious about why this intelligence dealer risked danger and suffered, and traveled thousands of miles to find him.
Laurent smiled, opened the door, and walked in with Yuriko and Daken.
Hearing the noise, Caliban quickly sat up straight, and his clothes miraculously returned to their neat and straight appearance. He quickly stood up and said enthusiastically, "Haha, Lauren, my friend... your place is really awesome." Awesome, the beautiful African savanna! Lions, antelopes...the hometown of mankind, haha!”
Lauren hugged him and laughed, "Welcome, Caliban! I've only been here not long ago, so I can't help you. Please forgive me!"
At this moment, they were still in the living room on the second floor. From here, they could see the guards patrolling back and forth outside. Caliban smiled and nodded clearly.
Lauren smiled and said, "Please sit down, you two, please sit down! Don't worry, I can't imagine anyone being able to monitor my room, so if you have anything to say, just say it. It's absolutely safe here! Sayuriko, come and check in." Mr. Liban, please pour me a glass. I have nothing to entertain you, so please drink some local special drink. Add ice cubes to clear away the heat and relieve the heat. I think you should like this taste better."
Caliban sat generously on the sofa opposite Lauren, took the wine glass handed by Yuriko, took a big sip, and let out a comfortable moan.
Only then did Laurent directly ask, "Caliban, what made you travel thousands of miles to come to Kenya in person? Well, I don't have any precious information on my hands recently."
Caliban blinked and said with a smile, "Mr. Loren, you are too humble. Didn't an interesting thing happen in Kenya two days ago? An ancient temple showed a miracle!!"
Luo Lun admired in his heart, they are indeed the most reliable intelligence group.
Lauren nodded and said slowly, "You once again demonstrated your strong intelligence capabilities. Well, then why did you come to me...?"
Caliban said in an excited tone, "Mr. Laurent, I think Daken told you that my organization not only provides intelligence, but sometimes also takes on some bounty tasks, which are all tasks with absolutely generous rewards. So, I think you’d be an ideal partner.”
"Bounty quest?"
Lauren showed an uninterested expression, "Mr. Caliban, I think you have also seen that I have just arrived here, and I haven't even gained a foothold yet. There are other people's subordinates outside looking at me. I still have many needs." Moreover, I am a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, do you want me to assassinate the president of a certain country for money?...I can't do that kind of thing, I am an upright agent."
Upright?
The guard behind Caliban, the hot black-haired beauty, twitched uncontrollably at the corner of her mouth.
If the guy in front of him is considered upright, then the devil is the embodiment of kindness.
Caliban quickly added, "Mr. Laurent, of course I will not let you do that kind of task. It is an insult to you. We only need to cooperate with you on truly important tasks." "
"Well, in fact, I came to you because of this matter... There is a big man, a big family with ancient heritage. He is interested in things in the temple, very interested."
Caliban paused, licked his lips excitedly with his scarlet tongue, and whispered, "He is willing to pay two billion U.S. dollars, you know? Two billion U.S. dollars... This is a real big business, I immediately thought of it You, after all, this is your territory, we can give you 50% of the profit."
Caliban looked at Lauren excitedly, hoping that a billion dollars could impress Lauren.
Moreover, Lauren's heart did beat violently.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research funding has not yet been received, and among the experimental instruments listed by Seul, the cheapest ones cost 10 million U.S. dollars. It can be said that Lauren is very short of money now.
But... what's in the temple? Thinking about the powerful, scalp-numbing aura, Lauren felt that it was not a wise idea to fight that weird thing for a billion dollars.
Lauren wanted to refuse directly, but...he was also very curious, what exactly was in the temple?
Lauren smiled. "Mr. Caliban, are you kidding me? If the person who issued the mission is really as you said, he is a real big shot. He is interested in something and needs to go underground." Is it a means of offering a reward? I doubt he can afford this price!"
Caliban stood up a little angrily and said quickly, "Mr. Laurent, are you insulting me? I have guaranteed my integrity. You absolutely don't have to worry about the customer's ability to pay. For their ancient families, this is Just a little money..."
Lauren smiled and said, "Mr. Caliban, don't get excited. Of course I believe in your integrity. So, what does that big man want from the temple? I can't go in and take away everything in the temple." Bring everything out."
Hearing Lauren's excited tone, Caliban sat down with a face of ecstasy, as if the man who was so angry just now was not him at all. He picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass.
Then, he pretended to be mysterious and said, "Mr. Luo Lun, when you enter the temple, you will naturally know what the big man wants. According to what the big man said, there is only one thing in the temple."
Laurent looked at him and suddenly laughed strangely, "If according to what you said, that big shot knows exactly what is in the temple? Could it be that your client is also an ancient god?"
Caliban shook his head
"No, no, no, as you said last time, the gods in mythology are just a group of creatures more powerful than humans. I agree with what you said, but my client has nothing to do with the gods. .”
Lauren asked him, "Then, why do they know exactly what is in the temple?"
Caliban explained, "I can't reveal the customer's information. I can only tell you that it is a very old family. Their family's biography records the story about this temple, so..."
Lauren curled her lips, "Just because of the family biography, they have to pay two billion dollars for this?"
Caliban curled his lips and said strangely, "Rich people! They are all like this..."
Lauren said in a low voice, "Caliban, you have taken on a troublesome mission."
Caliban said with a smile, "That's why I came to you, right? The only people digging around the temple are some local Kenyan armed forces. As long as you get there before them, you won't have to worry too much, and you can get a billion dollars." Yes! Hehe, this business is quite cost-effective."
Lauren hesitated for a moment and said coldly, "Then I can only wish you success in your mission. I am not prepared to accept this mission."
"what did you say?"
Caliban's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.
