A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 95 Zemo
After organizing the evidence, the team members returned directly to New York through Levi's portal.

Carter and Tony both stayed briefly before leaving headquarters.

This operation will certainly have a huge impact in the coming period of time.

Therefore, as the only two "superheroes" who will be publicly announced, they will be very busy for the next period of time, with a lot of preparation work to do.

Li Wei, on the other hand, showed no hurry to summarize the mission.

After giving some Hydra technology research data to Melina, who was left behind to take care of the children during this mission.

Li Wei then reopened the portal and returned to Sokovia.

Sokovia was in a state of chaos at this time, with bursts of gunfire occasionally ringing out throughout the city.

The people in the city also hid in buildings, not daring to move around.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei couldn't help but frown.

It seems their actions have temporarily caused the situation in Sokovia to spiral out of control.

Although the alliance's actions were only directed at Baron Strucker.

However, the fall of Baron Strucker, the most powerful warlord in Sokovia, also meant a power vacuum in Sokovia and in some of its territories.

In order to seize the suddenly added territory, other forces will likely engage in further conflicts.

For a fleeting moment, Li Wei even doubted whether he had made a mistake in organizing this operation.

However, this self-doubt lasted for less than a minute.

Does this mean that the warlords in Sokovia won't fight unless Strucker is destroyed?
Of course not.

There was even Structural, the Hydra, stirring things up.

They'll only fight harder.

Moreover, other warlords might eventually unify the country by force while they are fighting each other.

However, if the Hydra, which thrives on chaos, is allowed to exist, Sokovia may not have the chance to reunify for decades to come.

Moreover, destroying Strucker now can be considered a way to avoid the future disaster of Sokovia taking off!
No longer wanting to think about the uncertain future of Sokovia, Levi went to a farm on the outskirts of Sokovia.

In terms of environment, it's somewhat similar to Hawkeye's farm in the movie.

Outside the farm, Frank was waiting.

"Is he inside?" Li Wei asked.

“Yes, their whole family is still here.” Frank nodded, a hint of envy and nostalgia in his eyes.

Once upon a time, he also had such a perfect family.

"You've talked to him?" Li Wei nodded and then asked.

“We’ve talked!” Frank nodded.

"How so?" Li Wei asked curiously.

“He was very willing to bring his family to live in the United States, and it was clear that he had completely given up hope for this country,” Frank replied.

Li Wei nodded again; this answer was exactly what he expected.

They were talking about none other than the owners of the farm, Helmut Zemo and his family.

"He also played a part in the previous diversionary tactic," Frank added.

Helmut Zemo was already a colonel in the special forces before the Sokovia unrest, so he was very familiar with the situation in Sokovia.

If he wanted, he actually had the opportunity to raise an army and become a warlord, just like Strucker and other Sokovian warlords.

However, he didn't do that. Instead, he chose to take his wife and live in seclusion on his father's farm outside the city. Yes, that's right, only his wife, no children.

It's clear that Zemo's future son, who died in the Ultron incident, hasn't been born yet.

"What about the others? Are they alright?" Li Wei asked, referring to the Winter Soldier.

"Everything's fine in the cabin. The problem is their opponents!" Frank said, indicating that there was no need to worry about the Winter Soldiers. The operation in Sokovia was nothing to them.

Li Wei thought about it and agreed.

In Captain America: Civil War, Bucky mentioned the five Winter Soldiers, saying that with their combined strength, they could easily overthrow a small country.

Not to mention Sokovia, a tiny country within a tiny country.

When Frank arrived at the cabin in the center of the farm, the door opened before he could even knock.

The person who opened the door was a beautiful young white woman, who must have been Zemo's wife.

"Mr. Caster, you're back. And who is this?" the woman greeted Frank warmly. She knew that her family's hopes for moving to America rested on this man.

In fact, given Zemo's abilities, he could have easily taken his family away from Sokovia.

But what happens after we leave Sokovia?

In Sokovia, he was able to barely maintain his family's safety and livelihood thanks to his past connections as a military officer.

But if they leave Sokovia, they will become refugees.

It doesn’t matter what you want.

They can't get official status at all.

That's why they've stayed in Sokovia.

But now that Frank has promised me official U.S. citizenship, the situation is different.

Not to mention that in this era, the United States was still a world that most people in Eastern Europe longed for.

“He is my boss, Victor Lee, and also a good friend of Iron Man Stark!” Frank first introduced Levi, and then introduced the woman to Levi, “This is Mrs. Zemo.”

"So you're Mr. Li! I didn't expect you to be so young. It's a bit chilly, come inside. I've cooked some smoked meat and bean stew, you must try it." Hearing Frank's words, Mrs. Zemo's eyes lit up as she looked at Li Wei, and she warmly greeted him.

It was already autumn, so the weather had indeed started to cool down.

“Ah, I’ve heard of it. It’s a famous Balkan dish. I must try it!” Li Wei nodded with a smile and then went inside.

"Helmut, Mr. Carter is back, and so is his boss, Mr. Lee!" Mrs. Zemo called upstairs as she entered the house.

The furnishings inside were a bit old, but very cozy.

Soon, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a young man came down from upstairs.

Li Wei recognized him at a glance; he was the man from the future in the original timeline who had orchestrated the Avengers' split and civil war.

Helmut Zemo.

However, compared to the weathered man in the movie who had lost everything and whose heart was filled with hatred, he was a different story.

Zemo looked much younger than he did.

Moreover, the light in his eyes was very bright, clearly indicating that he still had hope for life.

“Hello, Mr. Li, I am Helmut Zemo!” Zemo extended his hand warmly.

Looking at the young Zemo, Li Wei smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with him.

He was eager to see what kind of performance Zemo, who had not lost hope in life, would deliver in the future.
