Chapter 42: Ruby! Giant Monster!
"I know. Are Wanda and the others alright?"
"They're fine. As soon as they entered the Villa, they were discovered. The moment my watch alerted me, I rushed out and took down all these people. But their target didn't seem to be Wanda and the others; it was more like they were looking for something. Could they be looking for your laboratory, young master? Perhaps they want to get your battle armor?"
"That's possible. Add more money and tell them to fix the Villa quickly."
"Alright, I'll go arrange it now!"
Seeing Jiang Bai's gaze on him, Martin spoke, telling him everything he knew. From his understanding, he didn't know what organization these people belonged to. They were systematically trained, and their weapons were still those in service with the U.S. Army! Although both clues pointed to the U.S. Military.
But if the other party wanted the battle armor, there would be no need to break into the Villa like this; they could directly mobilize the Military to seize it by force! And U.S. soldiers don't have poison in their teeth. After hearing everything Martin said, he already had a guess in his mind.
That was HYDRA. They underwent systematic training. HYDRA has its own Base, capable of systematically training soldiers, and they have many spies and undercover Agents among the U.S. middle and high ranks. Obtaining the most advanced weapons wouldn't be difficult.
Although there were no tattoos or markings on the other party, based on Jiang Bai's understanding of HYDRA, they should be HYDRA personnel! Not every soldier is qualified to bear the HYDRA symbol; otherwise, if a soldier died, wouldn't it be directly exposed? Those HYDRA middle and high-ranking officials aren't that foolish.
Looking at the Villa being repaired, Jiang Bai told Martin to add more money to speed up the repairs. The more people in the Villa now, the less safe it was. Once repaired, he would also need to remove some of the garbage left behind by the other party. He didn't believe that these people hadn't installed hidden cameras and listening devices in the Villa.
On the other side, Natasha, after Jiang Bai left, also learned from other Agents that the Villa had been attacked, which was why Jiang Bai rushed back! This was also the reason her contact failed this time. Although a bit annoyed, she was helpless and could only continue to look for an opportunity.
"Wanda, this ruby bracelet is for you! Lorna, this emerald bracelet is for you! Pietro, you're not suited to wear this, so I bought you a lot of game consoles and game cartridges."
"Wow, it's so beautiful! Thank you, Jiang Bai!"
"I like this color!"
"New games to play, really? Thank you, Jiang Bai!"
Upon entering the Villa, he handed the ruby bracelet and emerald bracelet to Wanda and Lorna, and gave the purchased game consoles and game cartridges to Pietro. Wanda and Lorna were very surprised looking at the bracelets in their hands, and Pietro jumped up even more happily, disappearing into the living room with the game console and game cartridges.
Wanda and Lorna, however, jumped up and kissed Jiang Bai on the cheek, their small faces instantly turning crimson. They didn't dare to make eye contact with Jiang Bai and ran directly to their bedrooms!
He smiled slightly, watching the two flee in a panic, and took the ruby necklace purchased for Grey Wolf into his room. He traded it to Grey Wolf through the system! Grey Wolf in Wolf Castle immediately agreed to Jiang Bai's trade, and then an exquisite gift box appeared in his hand.
Slowly opening it, he saw a ruby necklace, with the central ruby significantly larger than the others! This ruby was vibrant and brilliant, blooming with dazzling colors like an open flower. It contained rich energy and a unique magnetic field, capable of giving the wearer positive psychological suggestion and bringing a joyful mood. For Valentine's Day or other special occasions, this ruby necklace was the perfect gift to express love.
Grey Wolf was very satisfied with this trade, instinctively feeling that his wife would definitely like it!
Grey Wolf: [Thank you, I'm very satisfied. I feel my wife will definitely like this gift!]
Jiang Bai: [You're welcome, I'm glad you're satisfied! Rubies, with their vibrant and captivating red color, are widely regarded as a symbol of love and passion. They represent the beauty, Eternity, and steadfastness of love, hence being hailed as the "Stone of Love." The color of the ruby symbolizes passionate Fire, serving as a token of commitment. Couples can exchange them to express their love. It's enough to express your love for Red Wolf!]
Grey Wolf: [Thank you!]
Grey Wolf was also very happy to see the ruby hailed as the Stone of Love. Thinking of his relationship with his wife, he inadvertently revealed a satisfied and happy smile! After realizing this, he took the gift box and walked to the bedroom, ready to give this gift to Red Wolf....
After trading the ruby necklace to Grey Wolf, Jiang Bai found that Grey Wolf's friendliness towards him had increased significantly, reaching 90%. It could be said that Grey Wolf now regarded him as a close friend, and a large part of the reason for reaching 90% was the ruby necklace.
The last 10% was the most difficult, but Jiang Bai was not in a hurry. Sooner or later, he would achieve 100% friendliness with Grey Wolf, and then he could invite Grey Wolf to come here to help him. He could also go to Qingqing Grassland to see his childhood memories.
He came to the living room and turned on the TV to check the news for the past few days:
"According to our station's report, Stark Industries' stock has once again broken new highs, completely surpassing its previous value!"
"Another Congressman has proposed a bill to sanction and record Mutants, but the Supreme Council has not passed it...."
"My current location is Japan. Just now, Japan experienced another earthquake! No! What is that thing, my God!! Oh my God! A giant monster has appeared inside Japan's Nuclear Power Plant! I swear I have never seen such a large creature!"
"Oh my God! This monster is destroying the Nuclear Power Plant! If the nuclear energy flows into the sea, it will cause the Death of countless marine creatures! No, it's devouring nuclear energy! My God, this monster is actually devouring nuclear energy!"
"This giant creature, resembling a marine iguana, is continuously destroying the Nuclear Power Plant, yet Japan has been slow to respond. Will this monster come ashore? Let's get closer and observe!"
Originally, several channels were still broadcasting U.S. domestic news, mostly related to Tony, either Stark Industries or the topic of Iron Man! However, there was also news about Mutants. Just as Jiang Bai switched to the international channel,
He saw a giant monster suddenly appear next to a Nuclear Power Plant in Japan and begin to destroy the Nuclear Power Plant and devour nuclear energy! Others might not know, but Jiang Bai knew who this was! He possessed....
