Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

Heidi raised an eyebrow and stood up from her chair.

Does this special flight have a name?

"Gordon."

Mike smiled as he spoke, then gave Heidi a gentle hug as she rose from her chair.

Upon hearing this, Heidi released the hug and sat down again, saying, "Is this Gordon an Inhuman who can move from East University to New York City regardless of distance?"

Mike feigned surprise: "Wow, you guessed that."

Heidi rolled her eyes at Mike: "I'm an intelligence analyst, remember? And Pierce left me some information about Inhumans."

Having gained some understanding of the Inhumans through the information left by Pierce, Heidi, as a professional intelligence analyst, was naturally able to analyze the Inhumans' potential abilities.

After all, the superhuman named Jia Ying already possessed the ability to live forever, so it wouldn't be surprising if another superhuman appeared who could ignore distance and time and instantly teleport from Dongda University to New York City.

Upon hearing this, Mike nodded as if he suddenly understood, then moved closer to Heidi and looked at the astronomical text on the laptop screen in front of her.

"Is this the message Pierce left for you?"

"Ah."

Heidi chuckled, then said with a hint of pain, "But each piece of information is encrypted in a different way, making it very difficult to decipher."

Mike sat down in a dining chair nearby.

"Do you know why Pierce left this to you?"

"The second option, I suppose."

Heidi refocused her attention on the encrypted information on the laptop screen and casually remarked, "Actually, according to my initial plan, I didn't intend to show up when I received the Hydra agent activation order. Obviously, Pierce knew this too, thinking that if Hydra failed, my name wouldn't be on the list of Hydra agents, so I would still be safe and able to maintain my position in S.H.I.E.L.D. with this Hydra information, and also be able to better take care of his daughter in Washington."

one more time.

It's not only righteous characters who care about their families; similarly, some villainous characters also care about their families.

These villains are aware of what they are doing, and even know what kind of trouble it will bring to their families if they fail or are exposed.

Alexander Pierce is such a villain, which is why he left his daughter a way out.

Heidi.

The reason why Alexander Pierce thought Heidi would take care of his daughter after his struggle failed is also quite simple.

In a word.

Ametra's family is a very loving family. The parents love each other, and the siblings get along harmoniously. Such a family would have an excellent reputation in any country.

"Ok."

Mike listened to Heidi's explanation, nodded, and then seemed to realize something: "But Pierce didn't expect you to still self-destruct."

Heidi recalled the scene at S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York and shook her head: "Back then, if I hadn't self-destructed, I would have ended up like those five S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who died. And to be honest, at the very beginning, I genuinely thought Hydra would succeed."

After all, at that time, she either had to reveal that she was Hydra or insist that she was S.H.I.E.L.D., but insisting that she was S.H.I.E.L.D. would only lead to her death.

She doesn't want to die.

Heidi did not deny that she was afraid of death. Everyone is afraid of death, and she was no exception. Besides, she genuinely felt that Hydra had a great chance of winning when they were caught off guard.

But who would have thought—

Hydra launched its second attempt on the first day, only to announce its failure on the second day.

The speed was simply unbelievable.

Heidi only had one sentence to describe it.

Captain America truly is Hydra's natural nemesis.

Seventy years ago, Captain America killed Hydra.

Seventy years later, Hydra, resurrected through Edo Tensei, was once again defeated by Captain America, who had also returned from the dead.

Even the ending is the same.

Seventy years ago, Captain America disappeared after killing Hydra. This time is no different. After the battle at the Tri-Wing of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Captain America has once again disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.

He most likely went to find his best buddy Bucky.

Mike listened to Heidi's exclamation about Captain America and thought the same thing to himself, but he didn't continue on that topic and brought the conversation back to the main issue.

"Can Baron Strucker's exact location be determined?"

"..."

79. Total blockade of Sokovia

Mike knew that the Mind Scepter, inlaid with the Mind Stone, had fallen into the hands of Baron Strucker of Hydra after the Battle of New York.

Mike also knew that Baron Strucker was in Sokovia.

but……

He did not know the exact location of Baron Strucker in Sokovia.

Sokovia is a mountainous country, and its capital, Novigrad, is surrounded by mountains, much like the fortresses occupied by Baron Strucker. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of such fortresses around Novigrad.

Another point.

Because Sokovia has been plagued by war for many years, regimes have come and gone, and countries that supply Sokovia with weapons and financial support are deeply resented by its people.

no doubt.

Lao Mei.

Just look at how the people of Sokovia voluntarily participated in Baron Strucker's psychological experiments in the original play to see how unpopular Laura was there.

Lavish is unpopular, and anyone from Lavish would certainly not receive a kind look if they went there. In fact, Baron Strucker might even find out about the arrival of a stranger the moment he stepped out of Sokovia's airport.

Although Baron Strucker would most likely not run away if he saw him alone.

But what if?

What if Baron Strucker runs away with his Mind Stone?

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Since there is now information to confirm Baron Strucker's exact coordinates in Sokovia, allowing for precise location tracking and retrieving the Mind Stone, why make things more difficult for himself?

This is why Mike didn't go directly to Sokovia.

He is waiting.

After Heidi deciphered the information left by Pierce regarding Baron Strucker's specific coordinates in Sokovia...

This will also give Heidi a sense of participation. When he brings Loki's head to pay tribute to his adoptive parents in the future, Heidi will feel a sense of accomplishment for helping to find the Mind Stone and will not feel that it is all Mike's achievement.

only--

Heidi shook her head.

"Not yet. As I said, it takes time. Every piece of information Pierce left behind is encrypted with a different algorithm. I feel like I'm taking a global cryptography course all over again."

"Didn't you say that there should be some progress when I came back?"

"I did say that."

Heidi turned around and looked at Mike speechlessly: "But when I said that, I didn't expect you could get back to New York City from East University in just one hour."

Mike met Heidi's eyes, blinked, and thought for a moment.

"Then I'll go upstairs to take a shower, get some sleep, and adjust to the time difference?"

"can."

Goodnight, Heidi.

Goodnight, Mike.

Heidi said this, then turned around again, her expression becoming focused as she stared intently at a seemingly meaningless string of English text on the computer screen.

Mike turned around, went up the stairs back to his room, took a shower, and went to bed.

He said he was sleeping, but he was just lying in bed, his mind immersed in his own little universe. To outsiders, however, he appeared to be truly asleep.

And she slept very soundly.

the next day.

Mike woke up feeling refreshed and full of boundless energy.

After all, he doesn't have a girlfriend, so it's normal for him to feel energetic when he wakes up in the morning.

When Mike came downstairs to the living room, Heidi was already up, and as usual, breakfast was already prepared.

Good morning, Heidi.

"morning."

After Heidi placed breakfast on the table, she looked at Mike coming downstairs and said, "The coffee is ready, bring it over."

Mike nodded, went to the bar, got two cups of black coffee, went to the dining room, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Heidi pulled out her chair, and after settling back down, she looked at Mike and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Mike raised an eyebrow and glanced at Heidi.

"I don't want to hear it."

"No."

"Then here's the bad news."

Why not hear the good news first?

"because……"

Mike couldn't help but shake his head and smile, looking at Heidi: "If I have to suffer, I prefer to suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness, rather than enjoy the sweetness first and then suffer."

In this way, at least in the end, the taste in your mouth will definitely be sweet.

There's a saying...

If you can endure hardship, you'll inevitably face endless hardship.
