Chapter 193: Chapter 190 Eric, help me!
It was late at night, but Gideon Malik was not sleepy at all. He leaned on the bookshelf, holding a yellowed copy of Paradise Lost in his hand.
The book no longer needed to be opened. He shook it gently, but there was no familiar crashing sound inside. He sighed deeply, closed his eyes with a complicated look, and his hands trembled involuntarily.
"Father, it's so late, why are you still not sleeping?" Stephanie walked lightly on the carpet without making any sound.
Gideon was startled by his daughter's voice, and Paradise Lost in his hand fell to the ground, and many yellowed pages were thrown out. He looked back and saw that it was his daughter, so he breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to pick up the book.
"Let me do it, father." Stephanie picked up the book first, sorted the pages one by one, put them back in the book, and handed it to her father.
Throughout the process, Gideon kept his hand stiffly stretched out, until his daughter put the book back in his hand, he shook it subconsciously.
"What's wrong? Is there something missing?" Stephanie seemed to have a different look in her eyes, which made Gideon turn his head away.
"No, nothing, it's a bookmark, maybe it fell under the bookshelf, no need to look for it." Gideon pretended to be calm and wanted to put the book back on the bookshelf.
Stephanie reached out and held her father's arm, "I think I know where the bookmark is!"
In Gideon's unbelievable eyes, Stephanie took out a white stone with a very inconspicuous small hole on it. Opening "Paradise Lost", a small hole was dug in the book, and she put the small stone in, the size was just right.
Gideon closed his eyes in despair, Stephanie put "Paradise Lost" back on the bookshelf, and said casually: "Father, our guests like me very much, and just gave me a gift, I will give it back to you."
"Stephanie, I'm sorry." Gideon's body hunched down, his tone was full of old taste, and his head full of white hair looked more and more withered.
"It's okay, father. I know you don't want to betray. You just want to live." Stephanie held her father's hand and comforted him softly.
Gideon closed his eyes, "I love Nathaniel very much, but I have no choice. I..."
Stephanie gently put a finger on her father's mouth and shook her head, "Everything is over. Uncle Nathaniel has forgiven you."
"What?!" Gideon's eyes widened and he quickly reacted, "Him!"
"Yes, he is him, but not just him, he is everyone, including my uncle, your uncle, your father's uncle..."
"Why did he tell you this!" Gideon's eyes widened.
"I just know the truth that I should know." Stephanie looked at her father calmly, her face gradually becoming cold, "I never thought that I have lived in deception all my life!"
"No! Stephanie, I just want to protect you!"
"Of course, I am well protected by you, loyal, brave, humble, pious..." Stephanie stood up indifferently and walked out of the house without looking back, "Oh, by the way, Nathaniel did not forgive you, I lied to you, after all, deception is the tradition of our family, isn't it?"
Gideon stretched out his hand to hold his daughter, but his body became weaker and colder, and finally fell to the ground silently.
...
Eric watched this drama of killing relatives for the sake of justice silently. His goal was achieved. The young Stephanie was easier to control than the cunning Gideon, but he could not be happy at all. Instead, he had a trace of regret in his heart.
He shook his head in self-mockery, "Does this count as killing the donkey after it has done its work and destroying the bridge after crossing the river? Well, I think so..."
"Forget it, why think so much? It's just a Hydra that has done all kinds of bad things."
...
Gideon Malick has many identities, the head of Hydra, the boss behind NASA, the special adviser to the current president, and one of the directors of the World Security Council...
He was quite influential in the political world. His death caused quite a stir in the political world, and the president was even more regretful. In such a special period, losing an experienced staff member made his situation worse.
A seat was vacated on the World Security Council. After consultation with the United Nations and the other three directors, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce, took over Gideon Malick's position and became one of the four directors of the World Security Council.
Stephanie Malick is the only successor of Gideon Malick, but she is still young and can't suppress the other bosses behind NASA. Her influence on NASA has been reduced a lot and she has lost a lot of voice.
However, there is always gain in loss. Her deeds of sacrificing her relatives for the sake of justice were widely circulated within Hydra, pushing her reputation within Hydra to the peak. Her devout faith has become the weather vane of Hydra. She is more adept at commanding Hydra than her father.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?" Stephanie looked at Eric with fanaticism in her eyes, like a fanatic who saw his true god.
In Stephanie's eyes, Eric is the hive, the god that their family believes in and has been pursuing for thousands of years. For him, she can pay any price.
"Investigate the location of the 'afterlife'. It is a gathering place for aliens on Earth. Be careful not to attract their attention!" Eric tapped her wrist lightly, and countless fine powders surrounded it and turned into a beautiful bracelet. "It can protect you. Don't take it off."
"Thank you, sir." Stephanie gently stroked the bracelet, her face full of joy.
Eric shook his head, "I will be away for a while. During this time, there will be no trouble. The location of the 'afterlife' is not urgent. Just look for it slowly. Also, keep a close eye on Daniel Whitehall. I want to know where he is at any time!"
After that, Eric opened the portal in front of Stephanie and disappeared. Stephanie looked at the place where he disappeared and whispered softly, her eyes became more and more fanatical, "Yes, my God!"
...
The first stop after leaving the Malik family, Eric came to General Ross's secret base. He couldn't rest assured about the five thousand latent Hulks.
Fortunately, General Ross did not do anything irrational. He had deeply experienced the horror of the Hulk from his green son-in-law. If these five thousand people were really turned into Hulks, the earth might not be able to be saved.
