Listening to Lauren's impassioned words, Wanda was not as moved as he had imagined.
Instead, she had a strange feeling, because Baron Strucker had said similar things when he recruited them back then.
But what were the results?
She and her brother were treated as lab rats, subjected to various inhumane human experiments, and almost died.
Hearing Lauren's words again now, she was immune to them, only feeling that this young man in front of her wanted to manipulate her.
However, she was still sincerely grateful to Lauren for saving her life and being willing to save her brother, and it was precisely because of this that she was willing to be loyal to him.
If Lauren knew what Wanda was thinking of him at this moment, he would probably be unable to resist saying, 'You're a really good judge of character!'
Undeniably, he was indeed painting a grand picture for Wanda at this moment and attempting to establish his image as tall and mighty.
After all, he went to great lengths to save Wanda, his purpose being to bring her into his harem and then live a shameless and good life; there was nothing to be embarrassed about saying this.
Of course, Wanda's usefulness to him was not just reflected in her beauty; the chaos magic she would awaken in the future was the most heaven-defying.
One must know that chaos magic, Phoenix Force, and Faerie Force are known as the three most ancient powers in the Marvel Universe.
As long as one masters one of them, it is enough to run rampant in the Marvel Universe.
Thus, he naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity.
It's just that this Universe, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, doesn't have Mutants.
This means that if he wants Wanda to awaken chaos magic, he must obtain the Mind Stone.
However, these are plans for the future; there's no need to think so much about them for now. The top priority now is to kill Baron Strucker.
This was the first promise he made to Wanda; if he couldn't even fulfill the first promise, what was there to talk about regarding the future?
Just as he was thinking this, a series of intense gunshots rang out from outside the dungeon, which immediately made Wanda's nerves tense up.
Seeing this, Lauren raised his hand and gently pressed it on Wanda's shoulder, saying calmly, 'No need to be afraid, they are my people.'
Just as his words fell, the outside immediately quieted down.
At the same time, a uniform sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Not long after, two stunning Silver-haired women walked into the dungeon.
Behind them followed dozens of masked men in black, two of whom were supporting a blood-soaked Gunman.
These two Silver-haired women were precisely Miss 2b and A2 Miss who had come with Lauren to execute the mission.
As for that group of masked men in black, they were naturally the standard general-purpose combat robots in their respective teams - the Faceless Ones.
'Boss, all the enemies in the entire secret Base have been cleared out. Now the only survivor is this Baron Strucker.'
'Boss, how should this guy be handled? It's up to you to decide!'
2B and A2 stood respectfully in front of Lauren, ready to act according to his commands.
As soon as Lauren gave the order, they would execute it instantly, without even blinking.
As for the strength of A2 and 2B, Lauren was naturally extremely clear.
Clearing out the enemies of a secret Base was just a trivial matter for the two of them.
But Wanda, standing beside Lauren at this moment, was completely speechless with shock.
Cleared out all the enemies in the entire secret Base?
What a joke, how is that possible? She even suspected she had heard wrong.
One must know that within the entire secret Base, there were hundreds of Agents trained by Hydra, as well as several Winter Soldiers.
Let's not even mention the Winter Soldiers who, like Captain America, had taken drugs and possessed superhuman physical abilities.
Just the hundred or so well-trained Agents alone were definitely not something ordinary forces could handle.
According to her own assessment, even if the Military sent a combat team of several hundred people, it would be impossible to flatten this place in such a short time.
Not to mention that there were several Winter Soldiers in this secret Base; they were all individuals capable of fighting ten people at once!
However, the team led by Lauren in front of her, she could see the end of it at a glance; the total number of people added up to no more than 30.
Less than 30 people, yet they cleared out the Agents of an entire secret Base?
To be honest, unless there was something wrong with her brain, she couldn't possibly believe it.
But at this moment, she clearly saw that the head of this secret Base - Baron Strucker - had truly been captured by them.
Thus, she was completely bewildered; what exactly was going on?
Before she could figure out what was happening, the Gunman on the side shifted his gaze onto her.
'I said I would help you get revenge, and I have fulfilled this first promise.'
'Now this guy's life and death are entirely up to you to decide. Life or death, you choose!'
As Lauren spoke, he once again handed the dagger to Wanda.
Looking at the dagger in front of her, already stained with the enemy's blood, a trace of hesitation flickered across Wanda's face.
Killing has never been something she wanted to do.
The reason she joined Hydra was to avenge her parents.
Her enemy was the person in charge of the weapons company that manufactured the missile, namely the chairman of Stark Group - Tony Stark.
However, to avenge this, over the years her hands had also been stained with the blood of others, some of whom were even innocent.
This often caused her to fall into self-blame and start doubting herself.
She even refused the tasks assigned to her by Baron Strucker and attempted to leave Hydra.
It was precisely because of this that Baron Strucker imprisoned the siblings and treated them as lab rats.
As for Baron Strucker, she naturally hated him immensely.
But the other party had indeed extended a helping hand to her during her most difficult time, at least allowing the siblings to live until now.
Therefore, looking at Baron Strucker, who was already covered in wounds in front of her, she surprisingly felt a little reluctant to strike.
Seeing that she was slow to act, Lauren immediately saw through her thoughts.
This woman, like Gwen, was ultimately too upright; she had gone soft!
This was not a good thing. In this man-eat-man World, being merciful to enemies was being cruel to oneself.
Mercy without a bottom line would kill oneself; this was absolutely unacceptable.
'What, can't bear to do it?'
'He took in me and my brother when I was ten years old; he did me a favor.'
'What kind of damn favor? Your free labor for the past decade or so has long since repaid it, and from the moment your brother was treated as a lab rat, your favor ended.'
'Of course, if you are determined to let him go, I will respect your choice.'
'But I must remind you, you want to let him go, but he may not necessarily let you go.'
'Take a good look at the miserable state of your brother. Are you sure you want to let this bastard go?'
Lauren knew that Wanda valued emotions the most. In another parallel Universe, she killed her way through parallel Universes for the sake of her two sons.
Thus, as long as Quicksilver was mentioned, he believed Wanda would understand.
As expected, upon seeing that her brother was still in a coma, a burning rage ignited in Wanda's heart once again.
Then, without any hesitation, she picked up the dagger and fiercely plunged it into Baron Strucker's heart, instantly sending him to hell.
'Very good, this is what I wanted to see. You don't need to feel guilty either, you did a good thing!'
'Really?' Wanda asked, her expression somewhat complex, looking at Baron Strucker who had died in front of her.
'Of course, if you don't believe me, ask them.' Lauren smiled and looked at his group of general-purpose combat robots.
Immediately, including 2B and A2, the group of robots nodded in unison: 'Really!'
