Chapter 282 Quicksilver's Appearance

Chapter 282 Quicksilver's Appearance (Fourth Update!!)
When dealing with enemies, we should be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

But when it comes to friends, we should treat them with the warmth of spring.

Anna was his friend.

And besides Gwen, he was the first friend he ever publicly acknowledged.

and so……

To ensure Anna could never leave the Pure Land and was forced to care for these flowers was the punishment for her concealment.

Anna listened to Hawke's words, then felt the power descending upon her from the darkness, and looked at the flowers inside and outside the flower shop.

She could sense that any soul suffering in the underworld, no matter what kind of soul it was, could be freed from the underworld if given a flower.

Anna glanced instinctively at Hawke, who was smiling at her from the side, and couldn't help but speak up.

"Is this punishment?"

"of course."

"Do not."

Anna shook her head and looked at Hawke: "This is a blessing."

Hawke smiled.

"No, this is the punishment for hiding it from you."

"This is not..."

"Hey."

Hawke raised an eyebrow, looking at Anna who was insisting on arguing with him whether this was punishment or a blessing. His expression hardened, and he was quite displeased: "Who's the boss here?"

Anna opened her mouth.

"It's you."

"That's it. I said this is punishment, and it's punishment. Although you're my friend, this is work time. Remember to address me by my title during work hours. Call me Hades!"

"..."

Anna looked at Hawke's stern face, remained silent for a moment, then smiled brightly and knelt down on one knee: "Thank you, Lord Hades."

Seeing this, Hawke did not stop Anna from kneeling on one knee. After Anna finished speaking, he let Anna stand up again and then waved to Anya, who was standing not far away watching them.

Anya's eyes lit up, and she ran over, calling out "Brother!"

Hawke then introduced himself to the two women.

“Anna, this is Anya, my sister. Please keep an eye on things in the Pure Land while I’m away.”

“Anya, this is Anna, my friend. You can ask her to chat with you when I'm not around, but you have to respect her. She's one of your brother's few friends, and his first one at that.”

really.

My brother must have had a very tough time these past four years.

Hearing that her brother didn't have many friends, Anya thought to herself, then smiled and extended her right hand to Anna: "Hello, my name is Anya, and I'm your brother's sister."

Anna glanced at Hawke, who was smiling, and then smiled and shook hands with Anya's right hand: "Hello, my name is Anna, I'm your brother's friend."

Hawke watched this scene, smiled slightly, and then turned around, his mind leaving the microcosm and returning to reality.

into the eye.

Whether it was Gwen, Peter, or Sharon, they were all staring intently at him.

Hawke raised an eyebrow.

"Where are Felicia and Dr. Zhao?"

"I took the kids to the lounge for lunch."

"Dr. Zhao had something to attend to and has already left."

Peter and Sharon said so.

Gwen then looked at Hawke.

"So, Anna, is it Hydra's doing?"

"Ah."

Hawke nodded, looked at the red-haired girl still sleeping on the sofa, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask Anna what the red-haired girl's name was.

If it were a boy, he might be able to guess.

But the girl...

Can't guess at all.

Forget it.

Asking later will be the same.

Hawke thought to himself, then looked away and saw the three people waiting for his answer. He chuckled and said, "Cestrek."

"It's him again."

Gwen frowned, remembering Hawke mentioning the guy who took her Mind Stone.

"Who is this?"

Peter was completely bewildered and had no idea who this person was.

"We've also been searching for Cestric's whereabouts."

Sharon, upon hearing Hawke utter the name, seemed unsurprised: "But he hid very well. After our leads reached Sokovia, they completely disappeared. It's as if he vanished into thin air."

The task of hunting down the remnants of Hydra has been handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D., including Captain America's Avengers.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. has many other matters to attend to and cannot afford to waste most of its energy on Hydra.

Coincidentally.

Captain America Steve Rogers wants to find his best friend Bucky by finding Hydra.

Iron Man Tony Stark also learned that his father was the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., and since he had nothing better to do, he decided to lend a hand.

Thor, on the other hand, thought that he could have some alcohol after the fight.

As for Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye Barton, they are the reasons that give the Avengers' actions a legitimate justification.

The Avengers did indeed achieve considerable success after taking over the Hydra operation.

However, the whereabouts of two Hydra leaders remain unknown.

Baron Zemo, and...

Wolfgang von Strac, also known as Sitrek by Hawke.

Gwen looked at Hawke with curiosity.

Did Anna say where she is?

"she does not know."

Hawke knew what Gwen wanted to say, and simply described Anna's ordeal in a concise manner.

Gwen and Sharon fell silent after hearing this.

Peter, who blended in like a fool, blinked, then turned and left the office. He didn't know who Sitor was, or even who Anna was.

Since that's the case, why stay here? I might as well go to the lounge to find Felicia and watch my son have lunch.

If he's lucky, he might be able to get some too.

Moreover.

Even if he knew, he probably couldn't help much.

After all, Hawke's enemies are either world-destroying organizations or aliens.

His enemies are of various ranks: thieves, robbers, and the strongest of them is Dr. Lizard.

No comparison, no comparison.

and so……

After thinking about this, Peter felt no guilt or sense of being ostracized, and left the office happily.

The sound of Peter closing the door woke Gwen and Sharon.

Gwen looked at Hawke: "Just as you guessed, Anna was imprisoned two years ago."

Hawke shook his head: "It's not a matter of imprisonment. Anna was already on the verge of death, but Sitorek kept her suspended on a life support device until now."

Just like those brain-dead patients in the hospital.

In a sense, they are already dead, but doctors have kept them alive with basic medical technology.

Simply put.

They can't come back to life, and they can't die.

Gwen listened to Hawke's words: "Same here. The Sistrek don't want Anna to die because they don't want Anna's soul to go to hell. Because once Anna dies completely, her soul will go to hell. Although they don't know about the underworld, they know that you can go to hell."

Sharon, who was standing nearby, looked at the red-haired girl on the sofa and added, "But now, for some reason, this red-haired girl has escaped from Stryker's control and you know about her. So, for Stryker, there is no point in keeping Anna hanging, so they unplugged Anna's respirator."

Hawke listened to the joint analysis from his fiancée and the top agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York, and nodded thoughtfully.

However, just as he was about to express his opinion...

Hawke sensed the red-haired girl's movements on the sofa and turned to look at her.

into the eye.

The red-haired girl, who had been asleep for about an hour, blinked her eyelashes and then opened her eyes.

next second.

The red-haired girl looked at Hawke, who was staring at her, and smiled happily. She jumped up from the sofa and threw herself into Hawke's arms again.

"Daddy!"

"..."

Hawke, holding the red-haired girl, subconsciously looked towards Gwen.

Sharon couldn't help but look at Gwen.

Gwen smiled at Hawke and Sharon, ignoring their stares, and walked up to Hawke, taking the red-haired girl into her arms.

The red-haired girl glanced at Gwen, but instead of refusing, she happily accepted.

"Aunt Gwen!"

"Aunt?"

Hawke raised an eyebrow, looked at Gwen who was being handed over, and quickly shrugged.

God is my witness.

From the first moment he saw this little girl until now, he has been following Gwen.

Sharon, standing to the side, didn't want to miss out on this good show, so she tried her best to keep a low profile.

Gwen watched Hawke's movements, her gaze sweeping over him before landing on the red-haired girl in her arms: "You... know me?"

The red-haired girl nodded, her smile radiant. "Yes, Daddy showed me your projection. He said you're gentle, smart, and the best woman in the world."

Upon hearing this, Gwen's gaze snapped back to Hawke.

Sharon, who had been keeping a low profile, also immediately looked at Hawke.

Hawke said expressionlessly, "Not the past or the present me."

Although he didn't know what was going on.

But if nothing unexpected happens, it should be that your future self went to Kamar-Taj to borrow the Time Stone and travel back in time to meet this red-haired girl.

Speaking of...

It shouldn't be.

The timeline cannot be disrupted, as the Sorcerer Supreme said. In fact, the Sorcerer Supreme should have stopped me.

Hawke thought to himself.

Gwen frowned as she listened to Hawke's words, just as she was about to say something.

Unexpected.

The alarm blared instantly.

Sharon, who was trying to keep a low profile, also received the message from outside.

"Sir, someone has entered."

"Varied……"

"Oh!"

Just as Sharon was talking to the agents outside, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
