Chapter 013: The Deal

Copy?

Gu Yi squinted at Wang Bo, but ultimately agreed.

She was very curious to see how Wang Bo would copy the Infinity Stones.

Wang Bo did not hide anything. In front of Gu Yi, he took out his Copy Mirror and copied an Eye of Agamotto, then used a Enhancement Stone to strengthen the Time Stone within the Eye of Agamotto.

After seeing this, Gu Yi couldn't help but sigh deeply. "The world is truly vast."

A mere Copy Mirror could even replicate a treasure like the Time Stone; though it was inferior to the original, it still demonstrated the mirror's formidable power.

Wang Bo returned the genuine Eye of Agamotto to Gu Yi and put away the replica.

Gu Yi asked, "Is your next target the Mind Stone or the Space Stone?"

Wang Bo replied, "The Mind Stone."

Because the Mind Stone was in the hands of Baron Strucker, and with Hydra's current strength, they couldn't stop Wang Bo. So the Mind Stone was his next target.

Gu Yi nodded and asked, "When do you plan to act?"

"Now."

To avoid further complications, Wang Bo intended to act immediately, as he didn't know if Thanos had already started collecting the Infinity Stones. He had to secure the remaining stones as quickly as possible.

Gu Yi did not stop him. She waved her hand and said, "Go."

Wang Bo bowed, opened a portal, and arrived in Sokovia.

Wang Bo had visited Baron Strucker's base before, had a pleasant conversation with him, and even joined Hydra, becoming one of its members.

So Wang Bo was very familiar with the place. He arrived at the Hydra base in Sokovia, swept his gaze across the base, and spotted the scepter containing the Mind Stone in a castle.

Wang Bo took a step, teleported in front of the scepter, reached out, and easily picked it up.

To him, this place was completely undefended.

The scientists who had been hovering around the scepter stared at Wang Bo in shock, their mouths agape.

The leader of this group was Baron Strucker.

"Long time no see," Wang Bo greeted Strucker with a smile.

Baron Strucker recognized Wang Bo and was greatly surprised. "It's you."

He had personally recruited Wang Bo into Hydra, hoping Wang Bo would contribute to Hydra and himself. But soon after, Wang Bo disappeared without a trace, which infuriated him. He even thought the guy had been assassinated.

But he never expected Wang Bo to show up at this moment.

"That's right, it's me. Surprised? Unexpected?" Wang Bo toyed with the scepter in his hand.

"You'd better put that down. It's not something you should touch," Baron Strucker said sternly, pointing at Wang Bo, too annoyed to banter.

"And if I don't?" Wang Bo countered.

Baron Strucker said coldly, "You should know the consequences of disobeying orders. Unless you want to become an enemy of the world."

Wang Bo suddenly understood what Strucker meant. "You're talking about that thing, aren't you."

When Wang Bo joined Hydra, he had stood with Baron Strucker and shouted "Hail Hydra," and Strucker had even recorded it.

In Strucker's view, this was a trump card. If Wang Bo didn't comply, he could release the footage at any time, making Wang Bo an outcast everywhere.

After all, during World War II, Hydra had caused immense harm to the Allied forces.

Even now, those who knew of Hydra shuddered at the mention of that powerful organization.

Moreover, not long ago, Hydra was exposed, and Project Insight was revealed. If not for Captain America's intervention, the world would have already been ruled by Hydra.

People felt deep hatred for the Hydra organization.

As a businessman, if others found out Wang Bo was involved with Hydra, the blow to him would be unprecedented.

Other countries would even have sufficient excuse to move against Hammer Industries and dismantle this behemoth.

So Baron Strucker believed he could control Wang Bo this way, forcing him to obey orders.

But in reality, Wang Bo didn't care at all. Even if the whole world knew he was Hydra, so what?

After all, he wasn't from this world.

"It seems you don't understand," Wang Bo said, shaking his head.

Baron Strucker looked bewildered, not understanding what Wang Bo meant.

But before they could react, Wang Bo vanished with the scepter.

A few seconds later, the entire base erupted into chaos.

Meanwhile, Wang Bo had returned to New York. He casually pried the Mind Stone off the scepter and tossed it into his fourth-dimensional pocket. As for the scepter itself, he initially planned to discard it.

But he quickly realized that the scepter was likely made of some special metal.

He could replicate some and give it to the dwarves of Middle-earth to process.

Maybe he could use this metal to forge some decent weapons for himself.

Wang Bo returned to his mansion in New York, went to the basement, took out a Dimension Gate from his fourth-dimensional pocket, connected it to Middle-earth, and synchronized the time flow between the two worlds.

Then, he entered the Ming Dynasty from Middle-earth and found Hela, who was researching the antidote for the Thousand-Change Puppet Silk.

"I'm back."

Hela was baffled, not understanding why Wang Bo suddenly said this out of the blue.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Bo said, "I've returned to your world, the Marvel world."

Hela's eyes lit up instantly, and the狂暴 death divine power nearly destroyed the entire Divine Sword Manor in an instant, but the next second, she suppressed that death divine power and gradually calmed down.

She knew that Wang Bo would eventually return to his own world, but she never expected it to be today.

"So, the Dimension Gate is set up."

Wang Bo nodded. "You can go back anytime."

"I need your help, my lord." Hela lowered her head. Though she was the Goddess of Death and even became the Lord of Hel, she still didn't have enough confidence to defeat her father.

So to rule all of Asgard, she had to rely on Wang Bo's power.

Wang Bo nodded. "I agree, but after your victory, you must give me the Space Stone from Odin's vault."

Hela said abruptly, "The Space Stone among the Infinity Stones."

"Exactly."

"Deal." Hela agreed decisively. Compared to the Space Stone, she preferred to become the Queen of Asgard.

Trading a Space Stone for the throne of Asgard seemed like a fair deal.
