Marvel Book of Magical Events

The alloy blast door closed again, and Stephanie Malik ignored Ruby's pitiful look before returning to the bedroom, forcing the girl to lie back on the bed and sleep. She turned the handle and pushed out eight thick bolts, then locked them, locking Ruby tightly in the bedroom. A normal TNT explosive could not even penetrate the door and the reinforced concrete wall next to it. The password controller next to the explosion-proof door has been carefully disassembled. A black data cable is connected to the device in Amon's hand, and a large amount of data and symbols are flashed across the palm-sized screen.

Amon looked at the computer in his hand seriously. It wasn't until a fluorescent green icon flashed that he pulled out the data interface and put the device into the small bag on his waist. "The backdoor software was successfully implanted. Override permissions have been obtained, the operation log has been modified, and now we can obtain every conversation between General Hale and Ruby." Amon said, "Not only that, all the information in this base has been We planted a backdoor. But if the soldiers here won't shut up, it won't matter how much we cover it up."

"They will shut up. There is no need to use force. This is the purpose of me coming with you." Stephanie Malik said happily, "Deception and threats are Hydra's strengths. Sometimes force cannot solve the problem. For all problems, a little venomous lie is the fastest way to solve the problem. This is Hydra's strength."

"Is that why you lied to Ruby, deceived her, and asked her to accept the mission?"

"Is this an interrogation?" Stephanie raised her head and looked at Amon's serious face. She had no idea why the Guards expressed dissatisfaction - to be precise, she had no idea why the Guards were dissatisfied. In her opinion, the mission was completed well. "If I can't strengthen Ruby's faith without lying, she will not accept the order if she loses her faith. If she doesn't accept the order, she might die in your hands. As long as she completes the task, the result will be good. , then the lie will become reality, and it will be meaningless to discuss whether to cheat at that time, because everyone can get what they want. Even your master..." She tried to see from the helmet of the Praetorian Guard There was no doubt that she could not tell anything, "Your master will also use lies as a weapon. I have never seen anyone tell lies as accurately as he does. It can even be said that being deceived by him is a disaster." It is a great honor. He would not reveal any information to a worthless person, instead of mixing the truth with some trivial lies like I did. That would be too luxurious for him."

Amon seemed to hear resentment from Stephanie's mouth.

"That's not the case, Stephanie." The Guards thought for a while, and then said solemnly, "If the monarch chooses to lie or conceal, it must be because some information is too important or dangerous to be irrelevant. The personnel know. I can say this, because the Imperial Guard knows all the truth under the fog spun by the monarch. Those things are definitely not irrelevant lies, but information that determines life and death. Just knowing it means danger. If you can choose , my Lord will definitely not choose this method."

"Does it make any difference?"

"You can tell Ruby the truth, Stephanie. We have many choices, and we don't need to cover them up with irrelevant lies. Whether Ruby accepts the mission or not, that is her destiny, and I am the executor of that destiny - on the plane When I went up, I was still thinking about the Lord's intention, but now I understand - I believe that my Lord will agree with me to make any contingency measures in this situation, that is, killing everyone here is acceptable. situation, otherwise he wouldn’t have let me come here and talk to Ruby face to face.”

Stephanie Malik shook her head.

In her eyes, although the Imperial Guards are physically powerful, they believe too much in the power of honor and oaths. This is undoubtedly a very naive mentality. However, she does not know that many transformed assassins are actually under the control of the Imperial Guards. In the entire Latvinia and the Eternal City, only Victor von Doom has this authority. The Praetorian Guards do not mind lies and assassinations, and are even willing to believe and rely on the advantages created by this power. This was a gray area beyond the reach of the interior ministry, and the emperor stripped the executive branch of all paramilitary power and did not allow a single uncontrolled weapon to appear outside the military branch.

What Amon hates is that Stephanie casually used the Malik family's reputation as a guarantee, but told some irrelevant lies. This is undoubtedly a scornful work attitude, which to a large extent unnecessarily undermines the emperor's credibility. It also puts a question mark on the loyalty of the Janissaries to the Malik family, which invisibly undermines Malik. The family has a little more scrutiny. "Just like you think that he sent you here for this purpose, my action may be to use lies to advance the mission." Stephanie said nonchalantly, "Now, can you be sure what his real thoughts are? Do you think Do I need to go in now and tell her that her mother is not going to end well?"

The Praetorian sighed and closed his eyes. He didn't understand why Stephanie was so stupid, or that the emperor had gone too far, so that ordinary people could not understand his overly grandiose ideas and thinking patterns. Only the Praetorian Guards and the Regent could understand the tip of the iceberg of his huge thinking. Amon didn't want to say anything more. Stephanie Malik and the Malik family are still of use to the emperor. He cannot simply and roughly deal with the family. However, this does not mean that the Praetorian Order will not make plans for possible betrayal by the Malik family. Amon believes that this plan should be given a higher priority on the table of Constantine, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, and placed at the forefront of all Hydra families, at the same level as the Lister family. "Take care of all the details and leave no traces. I will accompany you to negotiate with those soldiers to ensure that your safety is not threatened."

The emperor snapped his fingers, and the livid Constantine shook his head.

The commander of the guards was forcibly left in the Oxfordshire manor. There were plates of meat and fruits and vegetables on the table in front of him. He chewed and swallowed them expressionlessly as if he were eating protein blocks and nutritional paste, and then mechanically picked up the next one. One copy continues the previous process. The food was not the source of Constantine's bad mood, for the emperor was also devouring food in front of him. What really made him feel bad was the details of the mission sent by Amon from North Florida. Amon explained the situation in detail and attached video information.

The Guards did not take the soldiers in that base to heart at all. Instead, it was Stephanie Malik's attitude that made the Guard Commander very wary. Her attitude represented a change in ideas within the Malik family, and also represented a conservative Send Hydra's internal wind direction. The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard has always had a distrustful attitude towards Hydra, because he knows that Hydra is a group of profit-driven animals. Even though it is not as greedy as the radical Hydra, as a family parasitized by capital, the core pursuit of the conservative Hydra is capital proliferation - but after the radical Hydra was exposed, the priority of capital proliferation was temporarily lowered. Survive on capital. Now that the limelight is gradually passing, even if Gideon Malik used strong methods to unify the thinking of the small conservative family, the existing rifts will not be healed. It now appears that the American hyperinflation created by the Emperor cannot fully feed the beast. Many potential threats are foreshadowed, and the conservative hydra, as the most snobbish group, must need greater interests to feed it.

Hydra cannot be trusted unless one becomes Hydra oneself.

"The Lister family can be trusted, and the Malik family can be ranked second priority." Constantine said, "We must conduct a thorough manual cleansing, leaving only one heir for all conservative Hydra families. No 18 Genetically engineer an heir under the age of 10, and all heirs must receive personal education from Latovinia, just like Diana Lister. This is the only way to ensure the true submission of all Hydra families."
