He added, "We could even be allies, after all, we share a common enemy."
"HYDRA greets you!"

Chapter 52
"HYDRA greets you!"
The sudden remark sent a chill down Hit-Girl Mindy's spine.
"HYDRA?"
Mindy's expression changed.
"Isn't that the terrorist organization that completely vanished from history during World War II?"
Not just her, but Alex and Susan, who were present, had naturally heard stories about the HYDRA organization.
"No! HYDRA is still here."
Through a warehouse's iron door, the suddenly arrived HYDRA agent spoke in an earnest, low voice, "Cut off one head, and two more shall take its place. HYDRA is eternal."
"In fact, the scale of our organization is beyond your imagination; every corner of the world is under the watchful eye of HYDRA."
"It is like a giant serpent coiled high above the nine heavens, looking down on foolish people."
Upon hearing this, Alex said indifferently,
"I don't understand why an organization swept into the dustbin of history has anything to boast about."
"You..."
As if greatly insulted, the HYDRA agent outside the door became somewhat exasperated. Fortunately, the remnants of reason in his mind curbed the vulgar words that almost escaped him; after all, the young man inside was not to be trifled with.
He took a deep breath and said very tactfully, "Although I cannot tell you the specifics, we have secretly controlled major organizations around the world. As long as we wish, we can overturn the entire world at any time."
"Your enemy is my enemy. Our interests are aligned. After controlling the entire world, you will have whatever you desire—women, wealth, a throne, and even the crown of the King of Earth will be bestowed upon you."
At this moment, the HYDRA agent was like a tempting devil, constantly whispering and painting a beautiful, utopian world for Alex.
However... Alex merely laughed.
"A terrorist organization that has vanished from the world for decades, hiding its head and tail, universally condemned, like a rat hiding in an underground sewer."
"And you still have the nerve to try and recruit me!"
Alex was truly amused.
His merciless, mocking laughter was like a stone hammer pounding continuously at the heart of the HYDRA agent.
"Damn bastard..."
The devout HYDRA believer could not tolerate the repeated provocations against his organization's prestige.
Uh... But just as he was about to retort angrily, a terrifying, invisible ripple of reality instantly enveloped his entire body.
His death was imminent.
His arms began to turn into a wisp of gray smoke and dissipate into the air.
The HYDRA agent, who foresaw this scene, instead wore a sinister grin and shouted, "Hail HYDRA!"
Soon, under the reality-interfering power of obliteration, his figure was completely disintegrated into molecules and vanished.
"It must be true."
Hit-Girl Mindy said with a somewhat solemn expression. Even through the iron door, the earnestness in his tone suggested how fanatical his expression must have been.
This perfectly matched the legendary terrorist organization, HYDRA.
It was also quite astonishing.
She never expected that HYDRA, swept into the dustbin of history, could make a comeback. From the looks of it, they seemed to have thoroughly infiltrated major institutions worldwide. Could it be that the World Council and S.H.I.E.L.D. have been secretly controlled by them?
Otherwise, how dare they speak of overthrowing the world?
"Ignore them."
Alex appeared indifferent.
It wasn't that he was unafraid of many bites.
Alex simply looked down on a terrorist organization that had hidden in history for decades, not daring to show its face. Even if they extended an olive branch, he would disdain it.
As for revenge?
His abilities were such that he wasn't afraid of someone hiding in a stinking sewer.
However... Alex still felt a bit annoyed.
Yet again, under some inexplicable circumstances, he had provoked another terrifying force from unknown origins.
He suddenly felt as if the world was deliberately targeting him.
General Stryker, who he hadn't dealt with yet, had made him the world's most wanted fugitive.
The X-Men, who vowed to arrest him and hand him over to the authorities.
The magic forces he inadvertently provoked while avenging Mindy, and the so-called 'Earth Guardian' who could arrive at any moment.
Now, he was inexplicably entangled with a terrorist organization that had been dormant for decades.
Alex only felt himself caught in the eye of a storm, like an insect trapped in a spiderweb, struggling desperately.
"Never mind, tomorrow's events are the most important."
...Just as Alex and the others destroyed the exposed warehouse and secretly returned to their high-rise apartment.
That night, in Capital City, within an underground base.
"The dispatched HYDRA agent has disappeared. His life signs are gone, so he can be presumed dead. The other party did not accept our goodwill."
Baron Strucker said indifferently.
"The other party actually refused us. Then, just as Zola's algorithm predicted, he is indeed our formidable enemy. So, we will not interfere with tomorrow's operation; we will let him walk into his death."
In the darkness, someone echoed.
The so-called Zola's algorithm was a list of individuals who would pose a threat to HYDRA's world domination in the future, generated through Zola's program and big data analysis.
A host in Cairo, North Africa.
The enraged Hulk.
An unknown surgical doctor.
And the immortal hidden in the Middle East.
Captain America Steve.
After that... it was the thirteen-year-old boy who emerged from the small town.
This was the list of individuals identified by Zola's algorithm as future threats to the HYDRA organization.
As for who Zola was?
S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel might not be unfamiliar, as the Insight Project he spearheaded was designed to detect individuals with potential dangers in society, thereby preventing and preempting crime.
But no one expected that Arnim Zola was actually a core member of HYDRA.
The so-called Insight Project had completely devolved into a secret operation for the HYDRA organization to regain world dominance.
As for this underground base, almost all HYDRA members held positions within S.H.I.E.L.D.
There's a joke that perfectly describes HYDRA's arrogant swagger at this time.
