"Hydra is here!"
Tony Stark's expression turned heavy the moment he saw the giant sea serpent spanning hundreds of meters, directly confirming it without any explanation needed!
Apart from Hydra...
What other organization could have such a gigantic serpent?
Uehara Naraku quickly dialed Nick Fury's phone and even sent him a top-secret video email, featuring that massive sea serpent swimming over!
"Director Fury, Hydra is here!"
"Keep the communication open, stay hidden!"
Nick Fury's face turned serious after seeing the prehistoric beast-like sea serpent in the video: "I'm just going to meet Pierce, let him see the evidence of Hydra's full resurgence too. I remember you have a pinhole camera on you..."
"...Yes."
Uehara Naraku's expression immediately turned peculiar.
Uehara Naraku didn't remain idle either and sneakily sent a video email to Alexander Pierce, warning him in advance!
"Truly unbelievable..."
The sea serpent in the video left Pierce speechless.
The Hydra Organization has never had the chance to see such monster-like hundred-meter sea serpent, yet the impostors seem more like the real deal than them!
Could they be the real fakes?
Amidst lightning, thunder, and the storm's fury, the robust sea serpent swam proudly to the shore, roaring at Stark's villa!
Even Tony Stark himself was somewhat amazed, having to admit that this enormous sea serpent truly frightened him...
"Looks pretty scary..."
This sea serpent could definitely swallow a sports car in one bite!
Luckily, Tony Stark completed the new element energy board and donned his new Iron Man suit, having enough courage to face such a terrifying monster.
Tony Stark slowly clenched his fingers, his entire body enveloped by the Iron Man suit, raising his head to face the giant sea serpent: "Looks like this time when we meet again, we must come to a conclusion..."
"Indeed."
The sea serpent slightly opened its mouth.
And as the hundred-meter sea serpent opened its mouth, a foul wind carried with a hoarse, creepy voice emanated from its mouth.
"Seems like after all these days, Mr. Stark must have figured out the answer he wants to give us, right?"
"Hopefully, Mr. Stark can give us a satisfactory answer..."
"Always..."
"We Hydra only accept the results we desire!"
"..."
Tony Stark's expression was hidden under the iron mask as his throat rolled, momentarily unable to speak.
Unexpected.
This sea serpent could even speak human words!
So, is this sea serpent a creature with human consciousness... or a monster controlled by humans, speaking with human assistance through some device?
Moreover, on this sea serpent's body...
There's a formidable pressure and killing intent almost palpable!
Even though this pressure and killing intent are isolated by the Iron Man suit, they make Tony Stark inside feel a bit breathless...
Tony Stark could not comprehend; he only felt he might be scared, thankful the Iron Man suit constantly reminds him to stay alert...
Is this the threat from Hydra?
No wonder even his father, Howard Stark, could never eliminate such an enemy, or rather, is this the same enemy his father once faced?
Honestly.
It's hard to imagine.
Faced with such a terrifying enemy, how did his father Howard Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. manage to defeat Hydra during WWII?
"If I agree..."
Tony Stark casually spread his arms, speaking softly: "What can I gain? Wealth? Status? It seems like all these are things I already possess..."
"Human desires are never truly satisfied."
The sea serpent slightly lowered its head, staring at Tony Stark, with just one eye the size of Tony Stark's body!
The sea serpent slightly opened its mouth again, the foul sea breeze hitting anew: "Mr. Stark, what Hydra can offer far exceeds your imaginations. Before you start cooperating with us, I cannot tell you the answers..."
"OK, got it."
Tony Stark gestured with his hands, nodding to himself and continuing: "So the meaning is, unless we've negotiated cooperation, you won't even write me a blank check, right?"
"This is not a blank check."
The sea serpent slowly shook its head, continuing with a hoarse voice: "Hydra has never deceived our partners. Before you give a definite answer... the things we want to offer you, we absolutely cannot disclose."
"What if what you're offering... I don't want it?"
"..."
The sea serpent eerily fell silent for a moment.
Next, the sea serpent shook its head again, continuing: "No, Mr. Stark, you definitely will want it. In this world, no one can refuse Hydra's kindness, no one can reject our cooperation demands..."
"What a completely insincere cooperation offer... To be honest, you, sir, from Hydra, must be very good at robbery, right?"
Tony Stark immediately felt full of complaints towards Hydra, wondering how such an evil organization survives, saying nothing yet demanding collaboration?
