Obelisk? What is that?
As the captain of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rapid response special forces, Rumlow certainly knew what the code name 084 meant.
But the problem was, he had never heard of the Obelisk.
"You only want the Obelisk? If it's just an 084 item, I don't think there's any problem with that!"
Although he didn't know what the Obelisk was, Rumlow didn't think it was a big deal.
It's just an 084, he can have it.
"First of all, this is not an ordinary 084 item, it is the first 084 item.
Secondly, I think you'd better report it to your superiors, it's not as simple as you think!"
Looking at Rumlow's indifferent expression, Rogge knew that this guy had no idea what the Obelisk meant.
"If that's the case, I can report it to my superiors! But I want to know, if we give you the Obelisk, what can you give us?"
"I can lend you the Abomination to play with for a few days, or give you five doses of Dr. Connors' Lizard Serum."
Mark 3 and the Punisher were out of the question, one was a matter of principle, and the other would involve some of his secrets.
Even if he handed the Punisher over to Hydra, they might not be able to research anything, but it was always good to be careful.
"Only these two?"
Rumlow, or rather Hydra, still wanted Tony's Iron Man armor the most.
If they had Tony's Iron Man armor, with their technological level and research and development capabilities, they could reverse engineer many good things.
Tony's Iron Man armor was not just a weapon, but a systematic technological product.
Weapon system, power system, flight system, operating system, arc reactor…
Any system on the Iron Man armor has incredibly broad application scenarios.
If used well, the Iron Man armor could even directly improve Hydra's overall technological level.
"Right now, you can only choose one of the two. If you have more things that interest me later, I can give you both directly!"
Rumlow left Rogge Industries. Although he didn't get the Iron Man armor he wanted most, the Abomination research opportunity and the Lizard Serum were still decent gains.
Of course, all of this was on the premise that they could get the Obelisk.
After Rumlow left, Rogge picked up the phone on the desk and called Skye and Elektra into the office.
"From today onwards, Elektra, you will be responsible for teaching Skye how to fight!"
Elektra had no objection to Rogge's arrangement and nodded in agreement.
But Elektra's agreement didn't mean that Skye would agree.
"I don't want to, I'm a hacker, I don't need to learn how to fight!"
Skye directly rejected Rogge's proposal.
"You don't have the right to refuse, unless you can beat me or Elektra.
Also, learning how to fight is also to help you see your parents as soon as possible."
Skye's hacking skills were good, but Quake Skye was the role she should play in the future.
When he asked Hydra for the Obelisk, he had already made the decision to awaken Skye into an Inhuman in advance.
Although still somewhat dissatisfied, Skye finally agreed.
As long as she could find her parents, even joining S.H.I.E.L.D. would be fine.
… … … …
It was unknown whether it was because Hydra didn't get the Obelisk, or whether they felt that the Obelisk was more valuable than what Rogge offered.
After Rumlow left, Hydra never contacted Rogge again.
Rogge didn't take this to heart.
The Obelisk could awaken Skye into an Inhuman, but it wasn't the only way.
Even without the Obelisk, he had other ways to obtain the Terrigen Crystals.
Hydra didn't contact Rogge again, and Rogge didn't bother to pay attention to these guys who were destined to fail.
A week later, Rogge received a message from Dr. Connors.
The Spider Serum suitable for Gwen had completed thousands of simulation tests without any abnormal reactions.
Using Flying Thunder God to arrive at the laboratory, Rogge took a syringe the size of a finger from Dr. Connors' hand.
"Although it has undergone enough simulation tests, I still have to say, use it with caution!"
Rogge nodded, then left the laboratory and returned to his office.
After returning to the office, Rogge sat in the chair without saying a word. More than ten minutes later, he gave Gwen a call.
What must be faced, must be faced after all!
More than an hour later, in a Chinese restaurant that had just opened a few months ago, Rogge saw Gwen, who was dressed exquisitely.
"Why did you suddenly ask me to dinner?" Gwen asked.
Rogge helped Gwen pull out the chair, then returned to his seat and said, "Let's eat first, then talk after!"
Gwen glanced at Rogge suspiciously, then she realized that the entire restaurant only had them two customers.
After enjoying a pure Chinese meal with Gwen, Rogge said to Gwen, "Tonight, I asked you out because I wanted to tell you my true identity."
"Besides being the president of a network company and a logistics company, I also have other identities!"
As soon as Rogge finished speaking, Gwen replied, "I know! Your real identity is actually the president of a private military company. My dad secretly investigated your identity and told me to stay away from people like you!"
… …
Was there a mistake somewhere? That's not what I was going to say!
"Uh… That's right, I also have a private military company, but that's not the point!"
After pausing for a few seconds, Rogge continued, "Do you still remember the Avengers I told you about before, Captain America, Iron Man, Masked Man, etc.?"
"I remember, you also asked me about my opinion of those superheroes."
Gwen's tone became a little excited. For girls her age, superheroes have their own charm.
"I am that Masked Man!"
Rogge said directly.
"You? Masked Man?"
If it weren't for Rogge's serious expression right now, Gwen would definitely think he was joking.
"Yes, I am that Masked Man!"
After speaking, Rogge directly used Summoning Jutsu to summon the Three-Tomoe Mask and the Lightning Fan.
"These things should be able to prove my identity to some extent!"
Seeing Rogge summon the mask and the Lightning Fan in a strange way, Gwen was stunned.
Although since the Avengers were exposed, there have been many people in the world imitating them.
Gwen has seen those imitators carrying fans and wearing masks wandering around the streets more than once.
But after all, they are just imitators, not the real Masked Man.
Rogge is the real Masked Man!
