Soon, Klaus's eyes lit up. He clearly recognized the authenticity of the document. The advanced steel arms detailed in it were all achievable. As Klaus was carefully reading the document, the door creaked open, and a pale, sickly little girl ran in, crying out weakly, "Daddy!" Klaus frowned slightly at the sight. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay at home?" The little girl looked aggrieved. "I... I missed Daddy..." Klaus tenderly embraced her. "Alright, alright, my precious. But this won't happen again. Daddy told you that you can't watch Daddy when he's working; it's dangerous." The little girl hugged Klaus, "I understand."
Klaus tossed the document onto the coffee table. "So, what do you want in exchange?" Xu Luo replied, "Vibranium, enough to make a shield." Klaus smiled, "Enough for a shield? That won't be enough. A mechanical arm can be made anywhere; it's just a matter of skill level. Although your mechanical arm is indeed of a higher level, it's far from being as valuable as a Vibranium shield." He put his legs on the coffee table and touched his daughter's hair. "Plus 20 million dollars."
Hearing Klaus's words, Xu Luo frowned slightly. Twenty million dollars was an amount he definitely couldn't produce. He pondered, considering what he could offer in exchange. The only things he had were some research materials from HYDRA, information on some superhumans, and a formula for a super soldier serum. He definitely couldn't bring out the last item because it would make him a target for everyone, as too many people coveted it.
At that moment, one of Klaus's subordinates excused himself to the bathroom. Xu Luo noticed that the person's expression and body language were subtly off. When the man left, Xu Luo also said he needed to use the bathroom and followed him. He could hear the sound of a phone call inside. With his extraordinary hearing, Xu Luo listened and recorded the conversation on his phone. Klaus's subordinate was informing someone, "Xu Luo has come to Klaus's side." The voice on the other end instructed, "Okay, try to delay Xu Luo as much as possible. I will report to the higher-ups immediately. A military force is on its way to your location, and four Winter Soldiers have been dispatched in fighter jets. They will arrive soon. As long as you delay him, he won't be able to escape."
The subordinate agreed, "Alright, I will try to delay him as much as possible." Hearing this, Xu Luo's eyes narrowed. Bang! He kicked open the door, which hit the person inside, followed by a cry of pain. Xu Luo lifted the informant after bursting in. The mercenaries in the living room heard the commotion and quickly rushed over with their guns, aiming at Xu Luo in the bathroom. "What are you doing?! Let go of our people!"
Xu Luo, holding the informant, frowned and said, "What am I doing? Trading with me while betraying HYDRA? If you don't want to trade, I won't force you." His face turned cold as he spoke. The mercenaries were confused by his words, not fully understanding the situation.
Xu Luo, holding the informant, walked towards the living room, ignoring the armed men. If anyone dared to shoot, the one who would die would definitely be the shooter. Claude protected his daughter and coldly looked at Xu Luo, saying, "What are you talking about? Betraying? Betraying HYDRA?" Xu Luo played the recording from his phone. Claude stared at the informant, his voice icy, "Damn it, you're actually with HYDRA? What exactly does HYDRA want to do?" Observing Claude's expression, Xu Luo confirmed that he didn't seem to be lying. He immediately understood that the informant was most likely a spy planted by HYDRA around Claude. Planting spies. That's very HYDRA.
Xu Luo looked at the informant in his hand and said coldly, "Tell me your purpose." The informant snorted, "I have nothing to say." Xu Luo chuckled lightly, "Believe me, my knowledge and proficiency in the human body far surpass your imagination. I know very well what kind of unbearable pain manipulating certain parts of the human body can cause. The upper orbital fissure of the human eye, the trigeminal nerve. The central protrusion of the trigeminal ganglion, entering the brain at the junction of the brainstem and the basal part of the pons, can transmit sensory fibers of temperature and pain that terminate in the trigeminal spinal tract. If I were to insert a needle into the upper half of the orbital fissure, it would cause unbearable and terrifying pain. Believe me, you wouldn't want to experience it."
Saying this, Xu Luo somehow produced two extremely sharp steel needles, gleaming with a cold light. Listening to Xu Luo's explanation, the sight of these sharp needles alone was enough to make one tremble in fear. The steel needles descended towards the gap above the informant's eyeball. Seeing those terrifying needles, the informant quickly confessed his own information. The reason HYDRA was monitoring Claude was to obtain the Vibranium he had. However, Claude was always cautious and never shared the location of the Vibranium with anyone, so HYDRA's people had been lurking. Once they found a clue to the Vibranium, they would take it and eliminate Claude.
Upon hearing this, Claude's gaze turned exceptionally cold. Xu Luo couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that both of us have caught HYDRA's attention. I really have a connection with HYDRA. Wherever I go, I can encounter them." Just at that moment, bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang outside. A mercenary quickly ran to the window and pulled open a small curtain. He hurriedly said to Claude, "There's a well-trained team launching a fierce attack on our team. We can't hold on outside much longer. We need to go out and support."
After saying that, the armed mercenaries in the room quickly rushed out and engaged in battle with HYDRA's army. Claude held his daughter's head tightly, and his face turned frosty, "It's HYDRA's people." Just as the mercenaries rushed out, cries of pain could be heard. "Damn it! The enemy's firepower is too strong!" "Damn it! Hold them back!"
