Anton Jameson seemed like an ordinary person, but the forces behind him were not to be underestimated.
Even though he had no authority to interfere with the New York Police Department, the good relationship established by the Justice League and George, coupled with Anton Jameson's involvement in this event, meant that George and the others didn't mind listening to Anton Jameson's "friendly suggestions."
To be honest, without Anton Jameson, there might not have been a way for the New York Police Department to establish a deeper connection with the Continental Hotel.
As Anton Jameson said, this was an opportunity.
An opportunity to completely clean up New York and establish order.
George pondered for a moment and led the New York Police Department to take swift action.
The news of Kingpin's return brought him a considerable sense of urgency. He felt that New York was about to be hit by another wave of trouble.
Watching George leave, Anton Jameson drove away from Wayne Enterprises.
On the road, Anton Jameson pulled out his phone while driving and called Winston at the Continental Hotel.
"Anton?"
Winston sounded a bit nervous, "I just heard you were attacked. I can assure you, the Continental Hotel has nothing to do with this."
"I know."
Anton said, "I'm calling to let you know that Kingpin is back. You need to cooperate with the New York Police Department to find Kingpin."
"What?!"
Winston was taken aback.
This sudden news left even an old fox like Winston speechless.
"Kingpin… How did he escape?"
Winston frowned. "How could S.H.I.E.L.D. let him get away?"
"It's not that simple."
Anton said, "You just need to work with the New York Police Department to find Kingpin's location. You don't need to get involved in the rest."
"Don't worry."
Winston understood the meaning of the call and solemnly promised, "The Continental Hotel will go all out."
"Good."
After hanging up the phone, Anton went to a location in Brooklyn.
This is where Electro mentioned the safe house was located.
Creak—
Anton Jameson pushed the door open and walked inside.
Before entering, he glanced up at the surveillance camera above the door, giving it a cold smile, as if saying, "I've found you!" …
This was an empty room, with two monitors hanging on the wall, currently in standby mode.
"I know you're here."
Anton stood in the center of the safe house, looking at the monitors in front of him, and said lightly, "Since you can hack into all the city's cameras and deduce my route, you must know my purpose on my way to the safe house."
Dr. Zola, as a network lifeform, could theoretically connect to any computer.
But, a network life is still slightly different from artificial intelligence, and it may not dare to appear casually.
Only in a place he deems safe would Dr. Zola show himself.
This safe house was HYDRA's territory.
Taking this opportunity, Dr. Zola shouldn't miss the chance to communicate with Anton.
[Hello, Anton Jameson.]
Click!
Suddenly, the display screen in front of Anton lit up, popping up a dialogue window.
"Hello."
Anton Jameson wasn't surprised. "This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision to come after me, was it, Dr. Zola?"
\n\nAfter he spoke, the figure on the screen, Dr. Zola, remained silent for a long time.
\n\nIt wasn't until Anton Jameson was starting to get impatient that a line of text reappeared in the dialogue window on the screen.
\n\n[You really know a lot about us.]
\n\nApparently, Dr. Zola was quite surprised.
\n\nHe hadn't expected Anton Jameson to know so much about his identity, and it slipped out.
\n\n"Hmph!"
\n\nAnton Jameson snorted coldly. "I've known about HYDRA's secrets for a long time. I wasn't planning on getting involved in your conflict with S.H.I.E.L.D., but you made a huge mistake by choosing to come after me."
[HYDRA has been exposed. Batman alerted S.H.I.E.L.D. The one who crossed the line is Batman.]
"Since Batman did it, you should naturally go find Batman."
Anton said, "It seems you can't find Batman, so you're making me the scapegoat."
[You...]
[Are you stalling for time?!]
[Cyborg! It's Cyborg! @#￥%&%￥#@!]
Suddenly, a large amount of garbled code appeared on the display screen.
Anton's lips curled up slightly.
"Just figuring that out now?"
He was a little disdainful: "Seems like you're not much, even for a network lifeform."
At this moment.
On the rooftop of the Brooklyn apartment building where Anton Jameson was, Cyborg stood facing the evening breeze blowing from above. His expression was calm, and his electronic eye flickered slightly as countless pieces of electronic information flashed through his brain.
Cyborg had immersed himself in the network world and cracked Dr. Zola's firewall, gaining control of Dr. Zola.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Cyborg frowned: "Copy code... It's a copy! No wonder it's lived for so many years; it's really cautious."
Cyborg's memories were shared with Anton.
Anton learned of Cyborg's accomplishments immediately.
The Dr. Zola who was speaking with him was just a small, intelligent program, equivalent to a clone left behind by Dr. Zola.
The clone did not share data with the main body; the main body would periodically retrieve the clone, review the data, and then deploy a new clone.
Therefore, eliminating this clone would not affect Dr. Zola.
According to Anton's understanding, Dr. Zola's main body should be a computer from the last century.
All of his brain data was in that giant computer.
To take down Dr. Zola, one must first find Dr. Zola's main body and prevent Dr. Zola from reviving by transferring his own brain data.
This was actually a very troublesome matter.
However, the good thing was that Dr. Zola was just a network lifeform, not a true artificial intelligence.
With Dr. Zola's characteristics, he could never become "Ultron."
With Cyborg's help, completely sealing off Dr. Zola was not impossible.
"The old guys are already on the plane, escorted by the military, so safety isn't a concern for now. HYDRA's main target is me; they won't be bored enough to provoke the military… Starting a multi-front war would be a huge burden for them! HYDRA isn't that stupid!"
Anton, in the room, observed the real-time status of the old guys through Cyborg's perspective.
Then, after pondering for a moment, he left the safe house and drove home.
On the way, his brow furrowed slightly.
Although the entire incident was basically clear, there was still a key question that Anton hadn't gotten an answer to.
The person HYDRA really wanted to deal with wasn't Anton Jameson, but Batman, who was hidden in the shadows and impossible to find.
Anton had separated his public identity from Batman.
Using his clone skill, he'd basically cleared himself of any "suspicion" of being Batman.
Batman had completely retreated into mystery.
It was clear that because HYDRA had searched high and low but couldn't find Batman, they wanted to target Anton, Batman's representative, to draw him out.
They didn't expect to hit a snag, and instead, Wonder Woman showed up.
The question was, given Batman's track record, how could HYDRA be sure they could defeat and kill him?
What was HYDRA's confidence based on?
Rooftop.
Cyborg was traversing the internet, searching various internal channels and even silently hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D. and military databases.
Soon, Cyborg stopped this needle-in-a-haystack approach.
He directly entered S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and took control of Alexander Pierce's computer.
Alexander Pierce, this guy was the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and currently the Secretary General of S.H.I.E.L.D. As a big shot in S.H.I.E.L.D., second only to the elder level figures, his power now rivaled Nick Fury's, and even Nick Fury was just a smokescreen he used to conceal his true identity.
You see, most of the time, Nick Fury had to go through Pierce to communicate with his superior department, the World Security Council.
No one would have guessed that Pierce would actually be the leader of HYDRA.
A few minutes passed, and Cyborg actually found an interesting classified file in Pierce's computer.
Nanobot technology!
The classified file described how nanobots were originally intended for medical use, capable of destroying the structure of all viruses within the human body.
Later, someone had a brilliant idea and applied it to weapon development, convincing the military to spend billions of dollars to develop four Nanobot Warheads.
The power of these four Nanobot Warheads was equivalent to that of high-yield nuclear weapons, and they were stored in the world's most secure armories.
Of course, besides the dangerous Nanobot Warheads, someone had also created Nanobot Bullets.
These bullets were expensive to produce, so there weren't many of them.
In the test video, a tiny Nanobot Bullet could effortlessly devour a tank, completely disassembling it.
This kind of bullet was lethally effective against technological civilizations.
Batman is a guy in armor!
HYDRA apparently thinks that Nanobot Bullets are Batman's bane, most likely to defeat and kill him.
And according to military information, the Nanobot Warheads and Nanobot Bullets were hijacked by a group of terrorists about three days ago.
After investigation, the military found some information about this terrorist organization.
They call themselves "Cobra".
"So that's your confidence... Nanobot Bullets, Nanobot Warheads, and the Cobra organization!"
Anton Jameson recalled this information after returning home.
眼镜蛇!
HYDRA!
"I didn't expect these two to be in cahoots!"
Anton Jameson wasn't surprised, just a little astonished.
This was clearly a plot from the G.I. Joe movies from his past life, where the Cobra organization planned to launch terrorist attacks on various major countries using Nanobot Warheads.
But in this world, the so-called Cobra organization seemed to have been absorbed by HYDRA, becoming one of HYDRA's many heads.
Therefore, the plan to attack the capitals of various countries with Nanobot Warheads had been changed to an operation targeting Batman.
"Things are simpler than I thought!"
Anton's eyes were cold: "If that's the case, then let's chop off one of your heads first and see what other tricks you have."
Washington, S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
Creak—
The door to Alexander Pierce's office was suddenly pushed open.
The man who entered the room was, of course, Pierce himself.
He had just received news from New York, as well as a secret communication from Dr. Zola, and knew that the safe house in New York had been discovered, and that the enemy had made a new move. He frowned slightly.
The plan to lure out Batman through Anton had failed!
Stuck at the first step!
Pierce didn't pay much attention to it; he had anticipated this scene long ago and had formulated follow-up plans.
In short, this Batman menace must be eliminated.
No one knew just how much Batman knew about HYDRA.
Based on an analysis of Batman's behavior, HYDRA's internal consensus was that he was uncooperative and could not be won over. The only option left was "elimination."
Tap-tap-tap!
As Pierce was thinking, he walked over to his computer. Glancing at the screen, his expression immediately darkened, and he instinctively clenched his fist.
On his computer screen was the Batman symbol.
And a message.
[I've found you!]
