Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 712 Tony Stark, no one dares to refuse Hydra's kindness!

"Hydra is here!"

When Tony Stark saw the hundred-meter-long sea serpent on the head, his expression turned serious, and he could tell without any explanation!

Besides Hydra…

What other organization could possess such a giant snake?

Uehara Naraku quickly dialed Nick Fury's number and even sent him a top-secret video email featuring the hundred-meter-long sea snake that had swum over!

"Chief Fury, Hydra is here!"

"Keep the call connected and remain discreet!"

Nick Fury's expression turned serious when he saw the sea serpent in the video, which resembled a prehistoric behemoth: "I'm going to see Pierce anyway, so I can show him the evidence that Hydra has completely resurfaced. I remember you were carrying a hidden camera..."

"…yes."

Uehara Naraku's expression immediately turned strange.

Uehara Naraku didn't stay idle either; he secretly sent a video email to Alexander Pierce, giving him a heads-up!

"This is unbelievable..."

Pierce was speechless at the sight of the sea snake in the video.

Even the Hydra organization had never seen such a monstrous, hundred-meter-long serpent, and the guy impersonating them looked more like the real Hydra than they did!

Are they the imposters behind Hydra?

Amidst lightning, thunder, and torrential rain, a massive sea serpent, hundreds of meters long, swam proudly to the shore, roaring at Tony Stark's villa!

Even Tony Stark was somewhat astonished; he had to admit that the enormous sea serpent had truly terrified him…

"It looks pretty scary..."

This sea serpent could definitely swallow a sports car whole!

Fortunately, Tony Stark completed the new elemental energy plate and put on his new Iron Man suit, which gave him the courage to face this terrifying monster.

Tony Stark slowly cracked his knuckles, his entire body encased in his Iron Man suit, and looked up at the giant sea serpent: "It seems we'll have to reach a conclusion when we meet again this time..."

"good."

The sea serpent slightly opened its mouth.

As the hundred-meter-long sea serpent opened its mouth, a foul-smelling wind carried a hoarse, eerie sound from its mouth.

"It seems that after so many days, Mr. Stark must have figured out his answer for us by now, right?"

"Hopefully Mr. Stark will give us a satisfactory answer..."

"All along..."

"We Hydra only accept the results we want!"

"..."

Tony Stark's expression was hidden beneath his steel visor; his throat bobbed, and he almost couldn't speak for a moment.

I didn't expect that.

This sea serpent can even speak human language!

So, is this sea serpent a monster with human consciousness... or a monster controlled by humans, with humans using some kind of device to make its voice heard?

And on this sea snake's body...

There was also a powerful, almost tangible, pressure and killing intent!

Even though the oppressive aura and killing intent were blocked by the Iron Man suit, Tony Stark, hidden inside, still felt like he couldn't breathe...

Tony Stark couldn't understand it; he just felt like he might have been frightened, but thankfully the Iron Man suit kept reminding him to come to his senses…

Is this the threat from Hydra?

No wonder this is the enemy that even his father, Howard Stark, could never eliminate. Or rather, is this the enemy his father once faced?

to be frank.

It's a bit hard to imagine.

Faced with such a terrifying enemy, how exactly did his father, Howard Stark, and S.H.I.E.L.D. defeat Hydra in World War II?

"If I agree..."

Tony Stark casually spread his arms and continued softly, "What can I get? Wealth? Status? Those seem to be things I already possess..."

"Human desires can never be satisfied."

The sea serpent lowered its head slightly to look at Tony Stark; its single eye was almost the same size as Tony Stark's body!

The sea serpent slightly opened its mouth, and the foul sea breeze rushed in again: "Mr. Stark, Hydra can offer you far more than you can imagine. I cannot tell you the answer until you cooperate with us..."

"OK, I think I understand."

Tony Stark gestured, nodded to himself, and continued, "So, you're saying you're not even willing to give me a blank check until we've finalized a deal, right?"

"This is not an empty promise."

The sea serpent slowly shook its head, and continued in a hoarse voice, "Hydra never deceives our partners. Before you give us a definite answer... what we want to give you, we absolutely cannot tell you."

"What if what you offer... I don't want?"

"..."

The sea serpent fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

The next moment, the serpent shook its head again and continued, "No, Mr. Stark, you will definitely want it. No one in this world can refuse Hydra's goodwill, no one can refuse our request for cooperation..."

"What a utterly insincere offer of cooperation... To be honest, sir from Hydra, you must be very skilled at robbery, right?"

Tony Stark was immediately filled with complaints about Hydra. How did this evil organization survive? They could force people to cooperate with them without saying a word.

Isn't this bullying the honest person?

If any company in the world dares to propose cooperation in this way, then their company must be so powerful that no one dares to refuse, or is unwilling to refuse...

Honestly…

Hydra may indeed possess such power.

"Mr. Stark shouldn't be able to refuse us."

The sea serpent opened its mouth again and continued, "You don't want us to expose your father's theft of Anton Vanko's work, do you? We have too much leverage over Stark Industries, too many ways to control Mr. Stark..."

However, Tony Stark didn't care at all.

Because he already knew about Howard Stark and Anton Vanko's past, he was now only trying to extract information from Hydra.

Tony Stark nodded slowly and continued, "Alright, let's talk about what our cooperation methods are..."

"It seems Mr. Stark has not disappointed us."

The giant sea serpent slowly nodded its head, then suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a small bag containing a USB flash drive, its voice suddenly becoming gentle.

"I'm just a nobody who's come to visit."

"As for the actual negotiations, our negotiating team will be waiting for Mr. Stark's arrival at this location tomorrow morning..."

"Whether it's what we want or what Mr. Stark wants, you can bring it up tomorrow. I'm sure our price will satisfy you."

"Can."

Tony Stark frowned slightly.

Tony Stark picked up the USB drive from the small bag; he was a little curious about the specific coordinates of the negotiation contained on the drive…

Tony Stark had originally planned to continue the conversation to extract more information, but he felt that the sea serpent was putting too much pressure on him, making his head feel a little dizzy.

That feeling…

It's like being constantly surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

After seeing that Tony Stark had agreed, the sea serpent shook its massive head and slowly nodded, just like a human.

"Well then... I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration..."

"If Mr. Stark does not appear on time tomorrow, I will come to visit again. This is our last peace discussion."

After saying this, the hundreds-of-meters-tall sea serpent turned its enormous body and slowly moved to the seashore, where it quickly submerged into the water.

Things went surprisingly smoothly.

Tony Stark was somewhat bewildered by Hydra's confidence.

Is this evil Hydra organization insane? Or are they so powerful that they never even considered that someone might be playing them for a fool?

Regardless...

At least Tony Stark seems to have successfully obtained information about Hydra.

Only after the sea serpent left did Uehara Naraku emerge, still somewhat shaken. He was even clutching the phone in his hand, his palm trembling uncontrollably…

Obviously...

Uehara Naraku seemed to be quite frightened as well.

"Jarvis, scan the USB drive."

Tony Stark gave Jarvis a command before turning to Uehara Naraku: "Hey, don't you think the people behind Hydra are incredibly stupid?"

"Perhaps..."

Uehara Naraku frowned slightly and continued softly, "I've already reported this to Director Nick Fury, and he and Secretary Alexander Pierce of the World Security Council have discussed it. They'll be sending reinforcements soon..."

Do you think providing support will be helpful?

Tony Stark slowly sipped a glass of whiskey before continuing, "It sounds like that monstrous sea serpent was just one of Hydra's minions..."

"If we want to launch a surprise attack on Hydra tomorrow, I think it would be best if we had some kind of nuclear warhead support!"

"Director Fury should be able to apply for nuclear warheads..."

"Are you kidding me? Does S.H.I.E.L.D. really have that much power?"

Tony Stark was somewhat taken aback by Uehara Naraku's words!

While the two of them were still chatting, Jarvis finally finished scanning the USB drive, and after confirming it was safe, he opened the program on the USB drive.

This program displays a coordinate.

After checking the coordinates, Tony Stark had a vague feeling that he had been tricked, because the coordinates he found showed that there was a military base there.

Did Hydra send counterfeit goods?

Just then, Tony Stark's phone rang. It was Ivan Vanko calling: "Why are you calling?"

"Let's talk..."

Ivan Vanko's voice sounded somewhat subdued.

"good…"

Tony Stark walked into another room with the phone in his hand.

Uehara Naraku glanced at Tony Stark and quietly sent the coordinates he had just learned to Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce.

I received two different replies at the same coordinates.

"That's a military base that S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently using!"

This is a reply from Nick Fury to Naraku Uehara.

"That's a military base that Hydra is using!"

This is a reply from Alexander Pierce to Naraku Uehara.

This military base at these coordinates is truly remarkable; it's surprising that both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra have claimed it…

Although Nick Fury suspected that Hydra had given him false coordinates, he still hurriedly sent men to the military base to investigate whether it harbored any Hydra conspiracy...

As for Alexander Pierce…

The Security Council minister and top Hydra executive was finally getting restless if Nick Fury sent his own men to investigate the military base…

Nick Fury will then discover that there is no Hydra conspiracy lurking in that military base at all, but rather that the entire base is full of Hydra members!

This is a plot against them, Hydra!

Regardless, Alexander Pierce must stop Nick Fury from investigating the strategist base and then have his own people investigate it, or implicate everyone!

Nick Fury is a thing of the past.

Moreover, Tony Stark had flown there earlier; after listening to the threatening phone call from Ivan Vanko, he had to get to the military base at those coordinates.

"Tony, I know you're messing with Hydra..."

"Actually, Hydra is also toying with you..."

"The coordinates they gave you aren't for negotiation, but for a fair duel between the two of us to see whose Iron Man suit is the strongest..."

"I've been toying with those Hydra idiots too. I just had them help me find a place where we can have a fair fight, and now I'm waiting for you here!"

"If you don't get here by tomorrow morning, Hydra will blow the entire Stark Industries building to rubble!"

good night!

Tomorrow will be a minor climax!
