Chapter 2680 Hollywood Rhapsody (Thirty-Eight)
Schiller was sitting in the Hamiltons' bedroom. The Hamiltons knew that he had a unique talent for computers, so they placed a pretty good computer in his room, which Schiller used to surf the Internet when he had nothing to do.
Of course, he mainly went online to read some news or academic magazines. The technical exchanges with Stark were all done by Ultron, and Schiller didn't understand any computer technology.
Of course, the chatting part was done by Schiller himself. After all, he was just sitting here with nothing to do, and there was still some time before the Hamilton family was wiped out, so it was nice to have someone to chat with.
Since neither party revealed their identities, it naturally won't affect future events. At most, it will just be like meeting an online friend when they were young. The fate of the two people will not change because of this unidentified communication.
Regarding the main story, Schiller's plan is that now all his energy is focused on the Hamiltons, in order not to let himself wait too long in this world. The Hamiltons will die sooner or later, so Schiller has actually been urging the Hamiltons to deepen their contact with Hydra, so that they can die faster and the background story can be completed faster.
As for how to deepen the connection with Hydra, is there any need to ask? Schiller's years as the head of Hydra were not in vain. Although the personnel composition of Hydra is different now and in the future, it is still roughly the same generation.
Some of the snakeheads who will be very powerful in the future are not feeling very comfortable now. Schiller hinted to the Hamiltons to find these people and give them the Hydra promotion strategy provided by Schiller. Wouldn't this establish a friendly relationship?
These snakeheads have no conscience. Not only will they not regard the Hamiltons as their benefactors, but they will think that the scientist couple who have no ability to protect themselves are fat sheep that can be slaughtered at any time. After discovering that their value has been squeezed dry, they will naturally kill them.
There is never a shortage of young ambitious people in this world. John Garrett is one of them. Although in this era, he is still an unknown figure in Hydra, the good thing is that Hydra in this era is still led by the electronic life Zora.
Although Zora is now in decline, snakeheads from all over the country have begun to make their moves, and Hydra is about to evolve from a unified situation into a divided kingdom, but so far, Zora's words are still useful.
Garrett was a member of the group arranged by Zola to be stationed in Congress. He is now just an unknown political consultant, while Alexander Pierce, who is of the same generation as him, is already a member of Congress.
Knowing that he would never be able to defeat Pierce if he continued like this, Gartler would not accept this. Being a political consultant also has its advantages. It is easier for small people to steal big secrets.
Garrett was a very observant person. He found that Howard Stark had been frequently traveling to Congress recently and had been interacting with congressmen whom he had never wanted to deal with before. Mrs. Stark had also attended many parties recently, which was very unusual.
Garrett keenly grasped this anomaly and used his personal connections to find out part of the truth: there is a technology that Congress is interested in in Stark's hands. If he can obtain this technology, perhaps he can gain a foothold in the post-Zora era.
Of course, it is impossible for a small political consultant to influence the decision-making of Congress, but Gartler has another way, that is the Hamiltons.
The Hamiltons provided Zora with electronic armor and had dealt with Gartler, one of the more capable newcomers. Under Schiller's instructions, in order to strengthen the connection with Hydra, the Hamiltons took the initiative to keep in touch with Gartler, provided him with a lot of ideas, bet on him, and regarded him as a way out for themselves.
The relationship between the two parties is quite close, so Gartler naturally discovered the close relationship between the Hamiltons and the only son of the Stark family. He didn't dare to force Howard before Congress, but he had the courage to target the elderly, the weak, women and children, and force Stark to hand over the technology to him privately, and it was very courageous.
Gartler forced the Hamiltons to invite Stark to their home. The Hamiltons knew what he was planning and were actually unwilling to do so, but their interests were too closely tied together.
As the saying goes, once a thief, always a thief. The Hamiltons thought they had hidden it well and felt that they could not afford the price of Howard discovering that they were Hydra. They were afraid that Gartler would reveal their identities, so they had to do this in the end.
While having dinner, Schiller felt that something was not right with the Hamiltons. After all, he was not a real child, and the scientist couple did not have any professional expression control skills. Their thoughts were almost written on their faces.
At this time, Schiller still thought that the Hamiltons had just gotten together with Hydra again. After all, they always had guilty and uneasy expressions every time they met with Hydra.
But when it got dark, Schiller still hadn't waited for Stark. He knew during today's chat that he might be in trouble.
"Do you know where Tony is now?" Schiller asked Ultron.
Ultron seemed to search for a while before answering, "He's not in Stark Tower, maybe he's in the manor. I'll go check it out."
After a while, Ultron said again: "No, he is not at home either. The surveillance camera shows that he left home by car around 4:30 in the evening."
"Do you know the destination?"
"I can't be sure for now. I'm tracking the surveillance along the way...Oh, no!"
Ultron suddenly cried out in surprise, and Schiller immediately stood up. Ultron said quickly, "The car Tony Stark was in was stopped, and a group of people got out of the car. They were wearing masks and their faces could not be seen clearly. They kidnapped Tony Stark..."
Schiller's mind was racing. When he thought about the abnormal state of the Hamiltons at the dinner table, he made a rough guess about the whole thing.
But the most important thing now is not to let Howard know about this, otherwise it will have a major impact on the future, because once Hydra, which kidnapped Tony, makes any demands on Howard, Howard will definitely do it. If both of them are involved now, the future will be messed up.
Schiller must rescue Tony before the Starks find out about this, and the most troublesome thing is that he cannot meet Tony yet, otherwise the future will still be wrong.
It's not the first or second time that I've been an unsung hero. Fortunately, with the gray fog in my left hand and Ultron in my right hand, I can use both magic and technology, so it's not difficult to save someone.
Schiller pretended to sleep, but quickly climbed out of the window and flew towards the carjacking scene following Ultron's guidance. As soon as he landed, he saw a mess.
Schiller walked around the rear of the car and spotted blood on the door opening, his expression instantly turning serious.
That's Tony Stark's blood.
Didn't Stark travel back in time? How could he be injured?
Then Schiller thought that Stark was different from other superheroes. His abilities mainly came from armor, but it was unlikely that he could go back to the past with a set of armor. He couldn't wear adult-style armor, and he might not have brought the magic core with him this time. He might not have time to upgrade in an emergency.
Realizing that Stark might be in real danger, Schiller did not stay any longer. He followed the kidnappers and soon arrived at an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
This group of people chose the location just as usual. Schiller was thinking at the time that it must be an abandoned building complex in the wilderness, regardless of how easy it would be to find and kill a few more people in such a wasteland.
But their style of doing things made it convenient for Schiller. If they really wanted to find the bars with the most customers in Manhattan, Schiller might not have been able to squeeze in yet.
Schiller had no intention of condensing his body, he simply turned into a mist and floated over. Before anyone could see him, he could faintly hear voices.
"In about ten minutes, your father will know that he has lost his little baby. I will have to invite him to come here to talk. Yes, he will come to talk to me."
"Do you know why your father has been so busy recently? Because Stark Industries has developed a type of mechanical soldier technology. Perhaps you have heard of it, and what I want is the information about this technology."
"The idiots in Congress don't understand how much this technology can change the world, but I know that working with me is much better than working with Congress. Those old men who are out of touch with the world can't offer the price your father wants."
"So you have to help me persuade your father later. We are all making money together, so why not choose us? We are much easier to talk to than Congress, and we will definitely promote his technology. Isn't this exactly what he wants?"
"Little Tony, you know the right thing to do, don't you?"
Schiller recognized Garrett's voice and thought that Nick had gotten him off easy by letting him shoot directly, but the mist still flew quickly in that direction.
The entire abandoned factory was quite large, so in order to make sure there were no other ambushes, Schiller searched it carefully.
Then he realized that there was a reason why Gartler could never deal with Pierce in his entire life. He brought less than ten people to do such a big thing. Not to mention surrounding the entire factory, even surrounding the room where he was had some difficulty.
As soon as Schiller checked the number of people and flew around the room, he heard Gatler say angrily, "You damned little bastard! I'll show you how powerful I am!"
"What? What happened? ...Can't contact Howard?! What do you do for a living? If you can't get through on the phone, send someone to tell them!"
"Did you do something, you little bastard? Why is the entire Stark Industries network down?!"
A muffled groan came from the room.
The moment Schiller flew into the room, he saw only a long wound on Stark's neck and chest. In the gloomy and dilapidated factory, the red color of the blood looked extremely glaring.
The fog was still.
