Chapter 852: The Hand and Peace Conference, Alexandra's Decision

Aaron spread his hands and said with some pride: "I can't help it, sometimes being too good is also a mistake!

Alchemy, divination, medicine, etc. are all what they want, and the strength I have displayed is not invincible to them.

Perhaps because of this, they have developed ambitions that they shouldn’t have.”

“How could you tolerate these clowns to survive until now?” Hela said sarcastically, “Aren’t you too generous?

If it were me, I wouldn't let them run wild under my nose."

“Your Highness Hela, you may have misunderstood something.” Aaron explained nonchalantly, “This is not tolerance, but pure disdain.

If you live on Earth for a long time, you will find that there are countless people like them, and you can never kill them all. "

“I doubt it.”

Aaron's expression froze. If the goddess of death got angry, she could really kill everyone.

“Ahem! I naturally believe in Her Highness Hela’s divine power.

But I am different from you. I am restricted everywhere in the atrium and even in this universe. I will not take action if I can avoid it, and I will not use magic if I can avoid it.

There is no need to pay attention to third-rate forces like the Hand and Peace Society. As long as they don't cause me trouble and don't really take action, I won't bother to pay attention to them."

“I reluctantly believe this explanation.” Hela said speechlessly, then changed the subject, “But they seem to have plans to put it into action now.”

"What do you mean?"

"When Alexandra left, she asked me to tell you that she admires your pharmaceutical ability very much and hopes to discuss cooperation with you."

"Huh? What kind of cooperation?"

"How should I know? But her eyes and tone showed that she was determined to win."

Hearing this, Aaron slowly exhaled, "I hate trouble."

“So what are you going to do?” Hela asked with interest.

"Try to avoid trouble." Aaron pondered for a few seconds, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

At the same time, inside a silver-white secret room made of high-density alloy.

Mrs. Gao, Murakami, Botu, Sowanda, and Alexandra were sitting at a table having a meeting.

"How's it going?" Alexandra asked.

"The old man with the stick hid himself very well. After we raided Kunlun, he immediately summoned all the remaining members of the Zhenchun Society in New York. We gained almost nothing." Suowanda spread his hands and said, "I have to admit that the old blind man's intuition is really accurate.

In addition, the necessary arms will soon be delivered, enough to arm two hundred men."

"Botu, what about you?"

"I have already gathered all the disciples in my academy, except for the one I think is my favorite. She is now with that half-baked Iron Fist.

I may have to kill her myself in the near future, what a pity."

"Murakami."

"My turn?" Murakami said nonchalantly, "All the ninjas in New York are ready to take orders. I have also summoned the elites I trained personally."

"What about that batch?" Alexandra asked in a deep voice.

Murakami shook his head slightly, "I brought it, but is it really necessary?

We've never made a scene like this before."

"But now our resources have been exhausted, and there are too many people in this era who can pose a threat to us. This situation has never happened before." Alexandra said earnestly, "We should worry about the possibility of death. It is always better to be cautious."

“I know, but you’ve used up our last resource.

Resurrected Black Sky, no, that's not right, it was the container that resurrected Black Sky."

"You think it's unnecessary?"

Murakami hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Maybe it's necessary, but the risk is too great."

"Black Space is my last trump card. You should know that I won't use this card unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Gao, how are you doing here?"

"We have almost found out everything." Mrs. Gao said excitedly, "The number of dragon bones under the Central City Circle is more than ten times the total number of those we have used before."

"Are you serious?" Alexandra showed surprise, and the other three could not hide their excitement.

If this is true, it means they could live thousands of years longer.

And these thousands of years are enough for them to find the burial places of other dragons, continue to extend their lifespans, and form a virtuous circle.

"This is just a conservative estimate. The real situation may be more." Mrs. Gao said bluntly, and then changed the subject, "But we still need a key, the key to open that door."

"Iron Fist, Danny Rand." The Botu sneered, "It won't be easy to catch him."

"It's really not easy." Madam Gao nodded with a smile, but her tone was extremely disdainful. "Heikong failed once and let him escape."

"Gao, you should know that it is much more difficult to capture someone alive than to kill them directly." Alexandra said, "But I have confidence in Heikong. She is a secret weapon."

"What about other aspects?"

“Jin Bing is helping to take care of my business. With his channels, my goods are in short supply.

It's just that there are always some uncertain factors that will cause trouble." Mrs. Gao's eyes flashed with resentment, "The Punisher, that guy ruined a lot of my deals. My goods can't be distributed in the area he guards.

My intuition tells me that he is changing and will become more and more difficult to deal with.”

"Then let's give up that area for now." Alexandra said nonchalantly, "We have no shortage of funds. Let him take the lead first. Getting the dragon bone is the top priority."

"I know, I'm just worried that he'll be a hindrance to our plans."

"If so, then kill him.

Besides business?"

"I have already taken care of the government officials and congressmen." Mrs. Gao said, "The police and the FBI will not interfere.

But if our plan is discovered, they will at most turn a blind eye and make things easier for us, but they won’t turn a blind eye.”

"That's enough." Alexandra breathed a sigh of relief, "Our next task is simple.

First, capture Iron Fist alive. Opening the door still requires Iron Fist's power.

Second, destroy all bases of the True Pure Society in New York. The Stick Sou has gathered most of the members, but there must be a small group that serves this large group. This small group is our target.

Third, do a good job of prevention.

Gao, you know what I mean, we can ask for help when necessary."

"foreign aid?"

Sowanda, Botu, and Murakami exchanged glances.

"Alexandra, you mean to share our secret with others." Murakami said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"It's not about sharing secrets," Alexandra corrected. "The secret of immortality is the basis of the existence of the Hand and the Society. If this secret is leaked, it will not benefit any of us."

"Alexandra means to use money or benefits to recruit people from other forces to strengthen our defense force." Madam Gao said concisely, "Similar to mercenaries."

Jingle Bell...

At this moment, Mrs. Gao's cell phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID, she raised her eyebrows slightly and gave the other four people an embarrassed smile, "Wait for me a moment."

"Hello! Mrs. Gao?"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Gaius. I didn't expect you to call me on your own initiative."

"Actually, I don't want to either. You know I don't want to have anything to do with you guys."

"Then why did you make this call?"

"You're asking even though you already know the answer." Aaron curled his lips. "When I was away two days ago, someone named Alexandra came to my store to see me."

"What?" Mrs. Gao paused, then turned to look at Alexandra.

Alexandra nodded slightly, "Let me talk to him."

Mrs. Gao hesitated for a moment and handed over the phone.

“Hello, Gaius, I’m Alexandra.

He is also the leader of the Hand and Society.”

"You want to work with me?"

"Yes."

"But I don't want to cooperate with the Hand." Aaron refused bluntly, "There is no other reason. After all, I am a good citizen, and I don't need to remind you what the nature of the Hand is!"

"Mr. Gaius, you may have misunderstood something.

The Hand has never been a purely evil organization. Its purpose of existence is to serve life itself, so your concerns will not hinder our cooperation. "Alexandra said patiently, "The content of the cooperation is very simple. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Just do your job well."

"for example?"

“Pharmacy, alchemy, and divination.

The compensation that the Handhe Club can pay will definitely satisfy you.”

"If that's the case, then there's no need for us to cooperate at all.

My fortune-telling shop is located in Hell's Kitchen. You can always come to me if you need anything."

"Mr. Gaius misunderstood. I meant to serve only the Hand and the Order."

"Haha! I'm a good boss, why should I work for the Hand?" Aaron said half-jokingly, "S.H.I.E.L.D. had similar ideas before, but even S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't make me work only for them. The size of the Hand seems to be a little smaller than that of S.H.I.E.L.D."

“Shouhehui is of course not comparable to the official one, but it has some advantages that the official one does not have.

For example, there are some things that the government dares not or is not convenient to do, but the Handhe Association does not have so many concerns. "

"Hmm?" Aaron raised his eyebrows, a hint of amusement on his lips, "Is this a threat?"

“No, I just hope Mr. Gaius can think carefully about cooperating with the Hand.

The Hand can give the conditions that SHIELD can give, and the Hand can also give the conditions that SHIELD cannot give. Why not choose a partner that is more beneficial to you? "Alexandra said confidently, "Aaron, the sincerity of the Hand to you has not appeared in the past few hundred years."

"Now that we've come to this point, if I don't agree, would that be ungrateful?"

Alexandra paused for a moment and said without comment: "It is your freedom to agree to cooperate or not, but the Handhe Society hopes that you cherish this rare opportunity."

"Let me think about it!" Aaron rubbed his brows. "Forget it, it's better to find a suitable time to talk in person."

"It could not be better."

After hanging up the phone, Aaron chuckled and shook his head, "This coercion and inducement has no technical content at all."

“Don’t you feel bored after talking so much nonsense?” Hela joked.

"It's OK!" Aaron shrugged, "Originally I wanted to solve the problem peacefully, but now it seems that she is a little ungrateful.

But it doesn’t matter, after the interview she will understand how naive her idea is.”

"Don't tell me, you're still going to let her go?"

"Your Highness Hela, you really need to change your temper!

The old way of picking up a sword and killing people when things go wrong is outdated. "

"So what? What's your pattern?

Peace talks, negotiations fail, then swords are drawn and people are killed?"

Aaron:......

Talk nonsense.

"My model is to avoid doing anything if I can."

"If we do something, we have to kill." Abei raised his paw and added that he was familiar with this question.

Hila curled her lips in disdain. “Why pretend to be a gentleman? In the end, you still have to rely on force.”

Aaron ignored him and looked at Abe seriously. "That model needs to be slightly modified now. If you can avoid doing it yourself, then don't do it yourself."

Abei nodded blankly, "What about the second half of the sentence?"

“It depends on the situation.” Aaron glanced at Hela with a frustrated look, “There are some people that I, your master, may not be able to defeat.”

......

On the other side, Mrs. Gao took the phone angrily, "Why didn't you tell me when you went to see him? Aaron Gaius is not as simple as you think."

"The situation has changed now." Alexandra said calmly, then looked at the others, "The five fingers of the Hand and Society are all here. No matter how extraordinary he is, can he still compete with the entire Hand and Society?

High, think about his abilities, each of which is something that the hands and will desperately need.

Whether he agrees or not, we are determined to achieve it.”

"Of course I know how much benefit there will be in taking down his opponent, but what about the loss?" Mrs. Gao tapped the floor with her cane anxiously. "Before we get the dragon bone, we must try to avoid any complications."

"I agree with Gao on this point." Sowanda said, "That guy is not an easy person to deal with. Judging from his record of fighting dozens of ninjas alone, we will lose a lot of manpower if we fight him.

At this juncture, it’s not worth it.”

“That’s why I didn’t fall out with Gaius.

I went to his shop in person and found that he had a new cousin.

That is his only relative in this world. Aaron is not easy to deal with, but his cousin is just an ordinary person. The Hand and the Society should be able to deal with her!"

"What do you mean?" Murakami stroked his chin, "threatening Gaius with his relatives?"

"We have lived for centuries, and we have seen people like Aaron Gaius who are stubborn and unyielding, but their biggest weakness is their relatives." Alexandra smiled meaningfully, "Doesn't he want to talk in person? No problem!

If they agree to cooperate, then everyone will be happy. If they don’t agree, then we can only use unconventional means.”

"There seems to be nothing wrong with this strategy." Mrs. Gao nodded thoughtfully, "But at this moment..."

"It is precisely because the present moment is so crucial that we need to control him." Bo Tu interrupted, "We should always support the leader's decision, right?"

"I think you want to change your alchemical equipment as soon as possible!" Sowanda smiled and shook her head, "Leave the hiring to me. I have experience."
