Maria Hill's attitude was very firm, looking like she absolutely wouldn't let them take risks if he didn't explain clearly.
But, that was just how it looked.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was not a charity organization, much less a kindergarten.
Although Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons were young, they were also S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel.
One was skilled in mechanical engineering and electronic engineering, and the other was skilled in biochemistry.
Samuel had the Super Soldier Serum and had also mentioned having various types of spaceships, which almost explicitly told Maria Hill why he needed them.
Not to mention Vibranium, nor the 'elusive' spaceships, just the Super Soldier Serum she had personally experienced was enough for her and S.H.I.E.L.D. to accept greater risks.
Therefore, Maria Hill was playing hard to get, trying to seize the opportunity to get more information.
Samuel looked at the somewhat indignant Maria Hill and gently shook his head.
Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons were not that important to him.
Choosing them was, firstly, because they indeed had real talent and could help Bruce Banner research Wakanda's technology, and secondly, purely out of appreciation.
The main reason he didn't contact them privately but instead made a deal with Maria Hill was to see her attitude.
Now it seemed--
Samuel slowly said, "You disappoint me greatly."
Maria Hill explained, "I must be responsible for their safety."
"You can't be responsible for anyone's safety, including your own!"
"What disappoints me is not that you have ulterior motives, nor that your ulterior motives are too obvious, but that your attitude is not right!"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. Commander, perhaps it's this identity that gives you confidence, or perhaps I was too polite to you last time, giving you the illusion that I could be bullied."
A golden portal gradually formed as it flowed between his fingertips. Samuel reached into it and took out a black short staff.
"Remember? I said last time, you are very important, but not that important!"
"In the vast Universe, you are just a drop in the ocean. If I think you are important, you are important; if I think you are not important, you are just sand on the beach, easily scattered!"
Maria Hill's expression gradually became solemn. Her slender fingers subtly clicked a few times on her phone, while her body tensed as she stared at Samuel.
"I'm sorry, I apologize for my actions just now. I accept your conditions."
"Tomorrow morning, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, as well as Barbara Morse and Sharon Carter, will appear at Na Du Tong on time."
The attitude was very sincere!
Samuel glanced at her phone. Hmm, the intention was not simple!
Before the result is out, some people always feel that the outcome is undecided, and you and I are both dark horses!
Samuel gently turned the black short staff, and a golden light lit up on it.
Maria Hill reacted quickly, bracing herself on the back of the sofa, trying to jump behind it.
Unfortunately, even if she became a Super Soldier, facing Samuel was still like the Monkey King facing the Five Finger Mountain of the Buddha, with no chance at all!
"Hiss!"
The golden light was like a black hole. In an instant, Maria Hill was completely devoured.
Samuel leisurely walked to the wine cabinet on the side, drinking wine, waiting for the Time Variance Authority or the reinforcements Maria Hill called for to appear.
Time passed quickly.
The golden rectangular portal never appeared.
It was unclear whether it was because pruning Maria Hill did not affect the stability of the sacred timeline, or if the Time Variance Authority had other plans.
"Bang!"
The door to Maria Hill's house was suddenly kicked open violently.
A fully armed squad moved quickly, rushing in with tacit cooperation.
"Swish swish swish--"
Several guns were aimed at Samuel simultaneously, and infrared beams projected red dots onto him.
"Nothing found."
"Nothing found."
While most people 'locked onto' Samuel, others had quickly checked the other areas.
Samuel casually leaned on the bar counter with both hands, smiling as he scanned the members of the squad one by one, finally looking at the man leading the team.
"Brock Rumlow, Captain of the Quick Reaction Special Forces."
"Should I call you S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, or should I call you HYDRA Agents?"
Brock Rumlow, a member of HYDRA.
He was burned after the failure of the Insight Project in [Captain America 2], later returned under the name Crossbones, and left HYDRA to become a mercenary.
The Quick Reaction Special Forces led by Brock Rumlow were nominally part of S.H.I.E.L.D., but in reality, they had long been completely infiltrated and were now all HYDRA members.
"Where is Maria Hill?"
Brock Rumlow, whose identity had been exposed,'s first reaction was to confirm whether Maria Hill would know about this.
Samuel said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, she is no longer in this World."
Not in this World, meaning she's dead?
Brock Rumlow breathed a sigh of relief, gave a look to his side, and soon two team members approached Samuel with guns, preparing to apprehend him.
Brock Rumlow said in a deep voice, "I warn you, don't try any tricks."
Samuel smiled and remained silent, letting them approach. It wasn't until they took out handcuffs that he unhurriedly picked up the black short staff and jokingly tapped each of them.
"Hiss!"
Golden light lit up, and the two HYDRA Agents were pruned.
Samuel's actions looked like a joke, but Brock Rumlow didn't think it was a joke. Why didn't his men dodge or react to Samuel's slow movements?
And the mysterious weapon in his hand, which looked no different from an ordinary police baton, could easily annihilate people?!
"Put down your weapon!" Brock Rumlow shouted fiercely with his gun raised.
Samuel smiled, "You're right, put down your weapon!"
He said it, but he didn't show any intention of putting it down.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a bottle of wine behind Samuel was shattered.
Brock Rumlow stared intently at Samuel, "Last warning, put down your weap--"
"Bang!"
Another gunshot rang out, and a bullet hit the ground near Brock Rumlow's feet.
Brock Rumlow was startled immediately, turning his head angrily to see which bastard was so careless.
As a result, when he turned his head, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
Dark muzzles were aimed at him one by one.
He, his men had mutinied?!
"You, you--" Brock Rumlow was completely stunned.
His men had mutinied?
How was that possible!
They were all HYDRA, even if someone mutinied, it was impossible for a whole squad to mutiny, right?
Brock Rumlow suddenly knew how S.H.I.E.L.D. felt when they found out that their entire squad was HYDRA one day.
Truly, it must have been as unbelievable as his current mood!
