Chapter 251 : Deal

Fireman Chan Ho Yin is a veteran superhero with the ability to control flames. Bert arranged for him to specialize in firefighting, which is equivalent to a firefighter with superpowers.

This type of superhero is not naturally as famous as Electro, a fighting superhero like Spider-Man, but in New York State, Fireman is popular because he has saved many people.

In addition, Chan Ho Yin is a friendly person, so he has a stable group of admirers. Peripheral products also sell well, and he has received many endorsements for fire protection.

At this moment, the indisputable Fireman was captured by HYDRA Baron Strucker.

Lilith asked coldly, "How dare you capture the superheroes of our Watchmen Company?"

"Why not? We exchange hostages, and the siblings in exchange for the Fireman."

Baron Strucker said, "If you don't agree, I will publicly execute Fireman. Then, I will see how your Blood God group faces the anger of the citizens."

"You think we are afraid of the anger of the citizens?" Lilith said coldly.

At this moment, Bert's voice sounded in her mind: "Promise him."

"I can't decide. I have to ask someone," Lilith said blankly.

Baron Strucker said, "Then go and ask. In ten minutes, I will call you again."

Lilith turned off the communication indifferently and then turned to Bert and asked, "Blood God, why should we accept his deal? The Fireman is not important."

"The Fireman is a good man. There is no need to sacrifice him. In addition, sending Wanda back was already planned." Bert touched his chin and said, "As for Pietro, he came at the right time."

"I know what to do," Lilith said after hearing Bert's words.

Ten minutes later, Lilith agreed to Baron Strucker's request. Then, the two sides discussed the specifics of exchanging hostages.

Although Bert intended to send Wanda and Pietro back, the big scene of the hostage trade had to be played, or the other party would not believe it.

"Let Steve direct. He's good at this kind of thing," Bert said, choosing to be lazy. He then teleported back to the manor, ready to deal with Pietro.

...

In the prison of Blood God Manor, Pietro, who was imprisoned, saw Wanda walking in.

At first, he was overjoyed, but then he asked suspiciously, "Sister, why don't you look like a prisoner?"

"The clothes, jewelry, and shoes on her body add up to at least a million dollars. Of course, she doesn't look like a prisoner," Mindy sneered.

She and Lina were very interested in Pietro's abilities, so they came to chat with him.

Wanda was surprised when she heard how much her clothes cost. "Millions of dollars?" she exclaimed.

Pietro also gasped in shock. At that moment, he noticed the ring on Wanda's left ring finger and asked, "Sister, are you married? Wait, are you being taken care of by that super-powerful guy?"

"Huh?" Wanda was stunned for a moment, then became angry with shame. A red light hit Pietro, knocking him against the wall and falling to the ground.

Pietro got up and shouted angrily, "You actually hit me? I'm your brother."

Wanda gritted her teeth. "If you weren't my brother, you would be lying there dead now."

Mindy and Lina also noticed the ring on Wanda's hand, and Minty whispered loudly, "That's Master's ring, I remember."

"Ring, on ring finger?" Lina thought for a moment and asked, "Is that woman going to be our mistress?"

Mindy muttered, "It's very possible, but I don't understand. She's so fat, why does Master like her?"

"Mistress?" Wanda was first shy, then furious. "So fat? How did I get fat? This standard figure good for nothing? It's too much to lie at such a young age."

Wanda wanted to get angry, but thinking of the current situation, she said calmly, "Hello, I am a friend of the Blood God. Pietro is not a bad person. Can you give me some time to persuade him?"

Mindy glanced at Pietro and sneered, "He doesn't look like a good person at all, even kidnapping little girls."

Wanda glared at Pietro when she heard this.

Pietro was very aggrieved. "Isn't it to save you? How do I know that you are wearing millions of dollars in brocade clothes?"

Lina asked hopefully, "Sister, can you let your brother be a delivery boy for me? He is super fast, with him, I can eat all the delicious food in the city."

Pietro shouted dissatisfiedly, "Are you humiliating me? I am Quicksilver. How can I be a delivery boy? I want to be the fastest man in the world."

"Lina, I said earlier that he wouldn't agree, so you should give up. And don't ask Master for mercy for a while," Mindy said. "Master treats us like his own daughters. That guy dares to kidnap us. Master will definitely not let him go. The minimum punishment is a five-pointed corpse,"

Lina exclaimed. "Five horses dismembering the body? Is it the one where they tie the limbs and head with five horses and then forcibly pull them apart?"

Mindy explained. "Yes, this is still the lowest. After a while, if I break a little skin on my hand and say that it was made by that guy, master may cut him a thousand times. It's true. Not a single knife will be spared," Mindy continued.

"Five horses dismembering the body and slashed with a thousand knives?" Pietro couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his face turning pale with fright. He hurriedly shouted, "Sister, quickly ask my brother-in-law to intercede for me."

"Shut up."

Wanda was ashamed and angry. A red light hit Pietro's chest again, causing him to fall on his back.

"Women who are about to be married have such a grumpy temper?" Pietro complained. Wanda blushed, almost smoking. Now, she felt that it was better for this guy to be locked inside.

She thought so, but Wanda still felt sorry for her brother after all. She squeezed out a smile and said to Mindy and Lina, "Pietro is really not a bad person. As long as you are willing to help him, I will let him work for you and help you buy takeout."

Of course, Wanda knew that Mindy and Lina were trying to scare Pietro. But if they really tried to scare Pietro, then he would never end well, and at the very least, he would be beaten. Kidnapping the apprentice of the Blood God was really no small matter. So, Wanda took the initiative to please these two little girls.

"Sister."

Pietro was very dissatisfied. Being a deliveryman was never in his life plan. He was a young boy with some style.

"Shut up."

Wanda shouted, and Lina was overjoyed. She said, "Then we agree. Don't worry. We will definitely help him to intercede."

"Okay, we're done."

Wanda breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I want to talk to Pietro alone, can I?"

"Sure."

Seeing that Lina had fulfilled her wish, Mindy didn't stay any longer and left with Lina. Lina waved to her delivery boy before leaving. Pietro lowered his head and felt that the future was dark.

After everyone left, Pietro asked dissatisfiedly, "Sister, what are you doing? Don't tell me you surrendered to the S.W.O.R.D.?"

Wanda said, "It's not surrendering. It's abandoning the darkness for the light, Pietro. We were wrong before. The real evil is HYDRA. We must help S.W.O.R.D. to defeat them."

"It turns out that you were corrupted by the sugar-coated cannonballs of S.W.O.R.D.," Pietro glanced at Wanda and sneered. "Sister, do you remember how scared we were back then? Do you remember how miserable the lives of the people of Sokovia were? It's all because of America. It's all because of Tony Stark. We must take revenge, and we must build a fair new world under the leadership of HYDRA."

"The people of Sokovia are living so miserably, not because of America, but because of HYDRA," Wanda persuaded. "Pietro, the Blood God's people are great. They want the world to live the life of the American people."

"Wanda, you have been deceived. How can the whole world live an American life? Do you know how rich America is? The food they waste every year is enough to feed several Sokovias."

Pietro said, "The United States is the root of all evil. They occupy too many resources. Only by defeating them can people all over the world live a good life."

"It's one way, but there are other, better ways."

Wanda placed a red finger on Pietro's eyebrows, and a memory of Bert taking her to visit Africa appeared in his mind.

After digesting the memory, Pietro became silent. After a while, he asked, "Sister, did you fall in love with that guy?"

Embarrassed and angry, Wanda grabbed Pietro's ear and lifted it up. "Is this why I brought you here? I'm your sister, you must listen to me, understand?"

"Let go, let go, it's going to fall," pleaded Pietro.

After Wanda let go, he quickly retreated, covering his ears. "I understand. As long as you don't make me a delivery boy, I'll listen to you."

"How can you appease the Blood God's anger if you don't pay up?"

Wanda sighed. "Do you really think he's your brother-in-law?"

"I think you can work hard, sister."

"Get out," said Wanda, becoming angry. "I'm going to talk with the Blood God. Kidnapping his apprentice is not a trivial matter."

"Okay," Pietro replied. "But can you get me something delicious? I want to try American sugar-coated meatballs. A hundred-dollar package will do."

Wanda was speechless. She recalled the steak she had eaten before and couldn't help but swallow her saliva. The food in S.W.O.R.D. was good, but how could it compare to top-quality wagyu brought in by air?

"Rich people are really corrupt," Wanda said, shaking her head. She left the prison carefully, afraid of soiling her expensive clothes.

...

Bert looked at Wanda, who came to intercede, with a half-smile. "Do you want me to release Pietro?"

"He'll make amends by being your delivery boy," Wanda replied. "Blood God, he only helped me. He also negotiated with Baron Strucker, asking that Mindy and the others be released afterwards."

Bert was noncommittal. "Baron Strucker caught the Fireman and asked me to release you and Quicksilver."

Wanda was stunned. "That's right. Pietro and I will go to the HYDRA base to atone for our sins by going undercover."

"I can trust you, but I can't trust Pietro," Bert said, shaking his head. He waved his hand to stop Wanda, who wanted to say something, and said, "He's too impulsive and not a qualified undercover agent."

"Then I'll go alone," Wanda said, feeling a little lost that the Blood God was keeping hostages.

Bert saw Wanda's expression and smiled. "Your heart belongs to me. Do I need to keep hostages?"

Wanda's face turned red. "Whose heart belongs to you? You're a scumbag, and I won't be fooled."

"Of course, it's my brother-in-law's sister," Bert corrected, smiling. "Don't worry, that kid called me brother-in-law so many times, and I won't treat him badly. I even gave him a bucket of fried chicken before. He ate it happily and kept saying it was delicious."

Wanda was momentarily stunned, and her face grew more and more ashamed. She hadn't realized there were monitors in the prison.

"It's a shame, just eating fried chicken," she scolded to herself, but she also knew that Pietro couldn't be blamed for this. Their family was so poor that they couldn't afford to eat fried chicken.

After they joined HYDRA, although they were highly valued by Baron Strucker, they were still just subjects to experiments and could only eat nutritious meals every day. Non-nutritious things like fried chicken were reserved for the researchers alone.

"Why didn't you let Pietro leave with me?" Wanda asked.

"As I said, he's too impulsive. Do you think anyone can be an undercover agent?" Bert said. "Once Baron Strucker finds out, your lives will be in danger at any time. I don't care if Pietro dies, but when you die, I will feel bad for at least a minute."

Wanda was initially quite happy, but his last comment made her angry. "Only for a minute?"

"No, every minute," Bert said with a smile. Wanda's heart started beating faster. She lowered her head and said, "If there is only one, Baron Strucker will not give up."

"Don't worry, there are two," Bert smiled slightly. Suddenly, his body changed rapidly and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into Pietro's appearance.

"This body is composed of dragon soul and Chi, which can be changed at will," Bert explained.

Wanda was stunned when she saw Bert's transformation. She suddenly realized what was happening and asked, "Are you going to go undercover with me as Pietro?"

"Of course. Why would I be willing to risk you going alone?" Bert replied with a smile.

Wanda felt like she had eaten honey, but when she looked at Bert's face, she said with a strange expression, "Blood God, can you change back first? Every time I look at this face, I just want to beat him."

"You really are his sister," Bert changed back and said. "Tell me everything you know about Pietro, so that we won't make any mistakes."

"Shouldn't Pietro tell you this?" Wanda asked.

"I prefer to hear it from you," Bert replied with a smile.

"Fuck," Wanda said, feeling both shy and a little sweet at the same time.
