Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

With a full tank of rage, the Justice League went to Canada silently, overthrowing one of Hydra's main bases in a devastating manner.

This kind of behavior of not going through the process and not reporting, logically speaking, should be condemned by both Canada and the United States.

If they really brought back a bunch of Hydra captives, they would inevitably be held accountable, and the public relations pressure on Vera's side would intensify.

However, they brought back Bucky Barnes.

As Captain America's right-hand man during World War II, and the only missing person in the Roaring Commando, this man's experience was very rough.

When Cyborg and the others found him, he was frozen alive by the experimenters as a weapon. Judging from the man's steel arm and pinhole marks all over his body, he seemed to have experienced inhuman abuse.

After finding out his identity, Bruce immediately contacted Captain America. After Steve received the news and rushed over, he revealed the news to the White House with some cunning malice.

——If you are capable, you can now use the matter of Captain America and Green Lantern to attack Zhenglian?Do you think the captain is willing to obey the government's orders, or is he willing to stand up and clarify for Zhenglian?

Mr. President, who has worked so hard and finally managed to use Captain America's pawn: "..."

On the night of hearing the news, there was a sound of flipping the table in the presidential office.

Moreover, Barnes was not the only person brought back by Zhenglian, they also found several mutants in the base.

These mutants, like Bucky Barnes, were all treated as test subjects by Hydra. Both physically and mentally, they were on the verge of collapse, and they were basically unconscious and dying.

Superman and Green Lantern quickly sent these poor mutants to Xavier Academy.

However, among them, there are two [-]- and [-]-year-old mutant children who are held in isolation, which are somewhat different.

I don't know if it was brainwashed or for some other reason. When Zhenglian broke into the base, the twin mutants started to attack the superheroes instead.

Although they are young, their abilities are obviously very special. The boy has a moving speed beyond ordinary people, and the girl has some kind of strange and powerful magic power. The combination of the two is very incomprehensible. It's going to be tricky.

But, now...

The Flash: What?high speed?You say it again in front of me?

Shazam: What?magic?You look at the divine power of Zeus on me and say it again?

It was better for the mutants to take over the matter of the mutants. The two children were forcibly brought in front of Professor Charles. After seeing with his own eyes that Professor Charles used his ability to calm the two bear children, Barry was relieved.

Bucky Barnes, who was still frozen, was handed over to Captain America. S.H.I.E.L.D., which had lost several agents, huddled and rectified. Swallow this dumb loss.

As for the group of guys in the Hydra base who dared to plot against Vera, one by one was arrested by the Justice League.

Counting all the fights, this is the second time that the Justice League has officially dispatched all members since the Washington War.

Before and after, more than half of the agents of the huge S.H.I.E.L.D. were revealed to be Hydra, and all members of the Justice League flew the entire Hydra base on the Canadian territory, bringing back members of the Roaring Commando who had been missing for many years...

Everything, whether it's the meticulous and efficient strategic plan during the period, or the shocking abilities shown by the superheroes, makes people tremble with fear.

Looking at the seven stately and serious superheroes coming down from the battleship, the government and military personnel were smiling and MMP in their hearts.

They all raised the danger level of Chaoying several levels in their hearts.

However, what they don't know is:

After all the dust settled, when they walked into Vera's ward, these superheroes, who were cold, arrogant and put on airs in the eyes of outsiders, all subconsciously suppressed the bloody and murderous aura on their bodies, and turned back into the Great Demon King problem children in front of them.

Except for Batman who was negotiating with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, the remaining six people almost couldn't wait to report the good news to their wronged brand manager.

Green Lantern tells Vera with a little pride how "Green Lantern got the Hydra Base"; The Flash and Wonder Woman are still discussing the strange pair of mutant twins and Bucky Barnes; Shazam He enthusiastically begged Cyborg to show Vera the video of his heroic posture in battle; Superman sat on the side of the bed with some concern, asking Vera about her recovery status...

After finally resting, Vera was harassed by six different voices at the same time and kept repeating: "..."

It was like three hundred ducks quacking in their ears.

Frowning, she glanced over with a cold look.

Under the deterrence of vengeful eyes that were worse than Batman's disapproving gaze, everyone shut up instantly, and Clark, who was clearly concerned about her health, looked up at the sky in aggrieved way.

Fortunately, at this moment, Batman finally finished the conversation. He walked in with a stack of official documents, and briefly explained to Vera how to deal with the culprit.

Ordinary members of Hydra were naturally sentenced to prison according to the severity of the crime and did not run away. As for the Hydra spies inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. better off.

Bruce doesn't care about these, what he cares about is whether these guys will affect Vera's safety.

"The two women who attacked you are also mutants under Hydra's command. They will be temporarily detained in S.H.I.E.L.D."

In front of the bitter Lord Vera, Bruce said:

"It was they who leaked Hydra's main base in Canada. If the remaining Hydra forces want to retaliate, we just take advantage of this to wait."

"..."

As soon as this remark came out, it wasn't Vera who reacted the most in the ward, but the other superheroes.

Knowing that these two women will not be taken to a special prison for mutants, but will be simply imprisoned in S.H.I.E.L.D., everyone's face is a bit ugly.

It was Hal who reacted the most. He clenched his fists and asked unwillingly, "...is it so easy to let those two women go?"

Waiting for a rabbit in Batman's mouth is definitely not a short-term process-who knows when Hydra will think of these two women?

According to Bruce's plan, the two murderers who almost killed Vera can hide in S.H.I.E.L.D. Not only can they eat, drink and drink without stress, but their own safety issues can also be fully guaranteed. What the hell is going to jail?

What the hell is Batman doing?Isn't he too unfair to Vera, the victim? ?

Hal and the others were rightfully oblivious to how badly the brown and gold duo had been beaten by Bruce.

"It's not letting go."

Bruce explained succinctly.

Thinking that his explanation was considerate enough, he looked at Vera and said seriously, "Think about it."

Clark, Hal and the others suddenly laughed.

With Vera Senna's vengeful character, how could he agree to Batman's plan?This girl made it clear that there is no overnight hatred——

Vera said bluntly, "Yes, follow your plan."

Clark & ​​Hal: "..."

woman!Why don't you follow the routine! ?

With everyone's disbelief on their faces, Vera discussed the plan with Bruce calmly.

To a certain extent, she is more ruthless than Bruce, because she doesn't care how Bruce manages the golden brown duo. She asks Bruce and Cyborg to help her hide "Vera Senna because of Hydra's attack." And get hurt."

"Don't blame S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Walker government for this incident, downplay my existence as much as possible, and obscure the cause of this incident-you should be able to do this."

The woman on the hospital bed looked calm, and decided the final direction of this action as if nothing had happened.

"I will not pursue anyone's responsibility for the time being, and you don't have to continue to make trouble because of this, just accept it as soon as it is good."

Compared to Steel Gu and the others who were still at a loss, Bruce understood the girl's intentions almost immediately, and he took a deep look at her, his eyes complicated and difficult to discern.

I have to say that Nick Fury's analysis of Vera's character... is actually very accurate.

As a person who pays great attention to the overall situation and efficiency, Vera is indeed narrow-minded and holds grudges, but she will never invest too much emotion and energy into the sunk costs of mistakes and mistakes that have already occurred.

Revenge is one thing, being angry because of the fleshy life of the two of them...is it necessary?She was very busy, so busy that she didn't even want to devote any emotion to these two people.

In the same way, "she was injured" is also such a sunk cost [Note 1], so what she has to do is not to hold her accountable angrily, but to use the "self-injured" incident to seek benefits and benefits.

After Chaoying left, Mary walked in from outside the ward—when Chaoying was there just now, she politely retreated in advance.

After listening to Vera's plan with Batman, she was almost too angry to bring it up:

"Are you really planning to let go of those two people who almost killed you?"

Vera gave Mary a strange look: "...do you think I will let them go?"

"But you said to let Batman suppress this matter!"

This time Vera didn't intend to explain. She shrugged at Mary and fooled it casually:

"Because I'm too kind. It was the blonde woman who shot me. There's no reason for the brown-haired woman to follow suit."

Mary: "..."

Vera didn't feel any guilt at all for making her dear assistant speechless with her thick skin.

Before Chaoying came, she had been working continuously for several hours. She half-closed her eyes tiredly, and buried her head in the pillow, leaving Mary alone by the hospital bed.

... From Mary to the Justice League, among so many people, Bruce is probably the only one who guessed Vera's thoughts:

"Zhenglian's public relations operation was shot in the street", what a threatening and shocking trump card!

How could it be easily used in this kind of innocuous crisis public relations, which is obviously dominated by Zhenglian?

As long as there is one of the golden and brown duo, as long as they still have the identity of agents of S.H.I.E.L.D....the trump card will always be Wang Zha.

After vaguely thinking about how to use this hole card to make plans, Vera fell asleep in a daze. She didn't know whether it was because of excessive fatigue or other reasons. She slept until eight o'clock in the evening.

As soon as she opened her eyes, there was a slight movement, and Mary, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, immediately noticed it.

The blond girl known as the all-purpose assistant hurried over, first helped Vera roll up a little bed with ease, then fed Vera half a glass of warm water, and then handed Vera's mobile phone in front of her, and said with a guilty conscience:

"Batman called you a few times an hour ago. I didn't wake you up because I was afraid that it would make you sleep."

"..."

Vera paused, and motioned for Mary to call back, "There will be no next time."

As soon as the call came, Bruce answered it immediately. He seemed to be in a noisy place at the moment, and there seemed to be many people talking and discussing in the background.

Vera patiently waited for the other party to walk to a secluded place, and before she had time to ask questions, she heard Bruce say hoarsely and slightly sullenly:

"I'm afraid your original plan is going to be compromised, Senna."

"?"

The fuzzy mind instantly cleared up. Vera narrowed her eyes and asked sharply, "Are you in S.H.I.E.L.D.? Those two women escaped?"

"Do not."

This time, Bruce on the other end of the phone visibly hesitated before whispering:

"The two of them, one is dead and the other is crazy."

"...!"

Vera's pupils suddenly shrank.

When she was in a daze, Mary on the side lowered her head, and tucked the quilt for her worried director very naturally and gently.

Vera ignored Mary, she took a deep breath and moved her head closer to the phone:

"When did this happen?"

"An hour and a half ago, there was no response from the monitoring in S.H.I.E.L.D. - neither the monitors nor the early warning devices have been tampered with, and the agents on duty have not changed shifts during this half day. It's a pity that there are no witnesses among so many people. "

"Who is dead? Why is only one dead and the other crazy?"

"The blond woman who shot you is dead—the remaining one seems to have been stimulated by the death of her companion and went crazy. She is now delirious, and S.H.I.E.L.D. can only send her to a special prison for treatment."

"...What is the cause of death?"

"There is no wound on the outside, the heart is torn apart, and Superman saw a needle embedded in the center of her heart. In addition, through the trajectory of this needle, we found the corresponding crack on the special metal door of this cell. "

Bruce paused, and said, "Judging from the size and structure of this needle, it should come from an ordinary syringe. The murderer most likely has some kind of special ability."

To put it bluntly, the murderer who killed the blonde female spy possessed extremely tyrannical strength comparable to Superman.

Because of this, she was able to stand outside the metal door, let the needle easily pass through the thick metal door, and before the other party reacted, it shot into the heart of the blonde female agent at a constant speed.

Hearing the last sentence, Vera understood in seconds:

"People from S.H.I.E.L.D. suspect you? Or...they suspect Superman and Shazam?"

From the perspective of physics, those who can easily do this and have such a big advantage in strength, there are Superman and Shazam in Zhenglian.

And quite coincidentally, in the ward at noon, both of them were indeed dissatisfied with the way the two of them were treated.

...It's just a living target (the object of dumping the blame).

Although Batman said calmly that S.H.I.E.L.D. could not use this to frame Superman and Shazam (after all, they both had alibi at the time), Vera still felt that something was wrong, and she began to consider "if S.H.I.E.L.D. and Walker The government really used this to frame Superman, Shazam" coping tactics.

In this regard, Mary, who had listened to the entire conversation, was stunned.

With a livid face, she taught Vera viciously: "How did your brain grow? When encountering such a terrible event, the first thing that comes to mind is those superheroes?!"

If it wasn't for the wound on Vera's cheek that hasn't healed yet, Mary really wanted to pinch her director's face hard, and she was furious:

"Those two people are dead, doesn't it prove that the remnants of Hydra are still infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D.? It's you who should be careful! What if they target you again?!"

To be honest, what Mary said at this moment was subtly in sync with Bruce.

As soon as Bruce knew about this, he immediately called Vera, fearing that she would also be targeted by this unknown enemy.

With the opponent's strength, if they really want to attack Vera, they can sneak into Vera's ward just like sneaking into the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison. Even the early warning devices and monitoring are difficult to detect.

Regarding this, Vera remained calm: "Then go through the discharge procedures and take refuge in another safe house, and wait until they investigate the real culprit."

In the way Batman arranges secret bases, he must have more than one secret safe house in Washington.

Willa thought very well: she went to the safe house to temporarily recuperate from her injuries. In this way, Mrs. Wigner and Clark Kent would not urge her to sleep every day. No one would disturb her, and it would be more convenient for her to work.

"That's easy to say!"

Mary sneered, unrelenting.

"You moved to the safe house alone, who will take care of you? What if I go to work on company affairs, what will you do alone?! Your hands are broken, and I have to feed you! I am here to guard you all day long Already!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Vera, who was still calm just now, frowned:

"Wait! You haven't been working on the company's affairs during this time, have you? Worthington III is still waiting for the reply from the New York team, and the product research of XX company has not been sent to them--give me a reminder to the group guy."

Mary: "..."

At this time, you have heard me say this, and the first thing you think of is the complaint from Party A's father? ?

As expected of you.JPG (with a tired smile)

Mary, with blank eyes: "...how about this, I'll ask the company to temporarily transfer someone to share my work, how about it?"

Faced with the female assistant's voluntary concession, Vera refused without hesitation.

"No."

She looked at Mary seriously and shook her head, "I just want you."

Over the past few years, Vera has gotten used to having Mary by her side. From the fact that she can safely let Mary sit in the driver's seat, it can be seen that she has great trust in her assistant.

Due to her personality, Vera herself is a person who values ​​the field very much. At this critical and dangerous moment, she doesn't want to spend extra energy to observe any new assistants.

Stared intently by those lake-green willow-leaf eyes, the heart of Mary, who had always been unable to resist Vera, suddenly beat wildly.

She held her forehead in dismay, not daring to look at Vera's abnormally dependent and inexplicably cute look:

"But I really can't take care of you and go to work on company affairs at the same time!"

Mary is also very desperate: she doesn't want to have another assistant by Vera's side, judging from her current state, one assistant is far from enough.

When Mary was in a state of desperation, Vera, who went her own way, had difficulty contacting Bruce again the next day and asked Batman to provide her with a secret safe house.

After asking Vera what she was thinking and realizing that her physical condition was indeed unable to live independently, Bruce on the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time, and finally said slowly:

"For safety's sake, I think it would be best for you to move to Wayne House at the moment—"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open with a creak, and Mary walked in hastily, with a look of joy on her face.

"I figured out a way!"

Not noticing that Vera was using the communicator, the female assistant said triumphantly, "I know you just hate having strangers around you as assistants, but it doesn't matter, you will definitely be satisfied with the candidate I am looking for this time!"

——"Clark Kent's three-month internship has just expired, how about I let him be your life assistant?"

Vera: "..."

Bruce on the other end of the phone: "..."

So, move to Wayne Mansion, or hire a new assistant?
