Carefully taking the body enhancement serum from Temari and storing it in a specially designed liquid nitrogen container, the representative spoke:
"Ms. Temari, we have a mission for you. We need your assistance, and the commission fee is $12 million."
Temari asked, "What's the mission?"
"We've identified traces of werewolves in London, and we're commissioning Sunagakure to bring back a werewolf specimen."
Temari, who had initially paid little attention, showed a slight change in her demeanor. Though she hadn't been in this world for long, she was aware of the werewolf situation.
She knows that a considerable portion of the world's werewolves had pledged allegiance to Lord Charles, but there were still some who refused to serve or weren't accepted by Lord Charles.
"Just the corpse?"
"If it's alive, that's better. We're willing to pay $12 million for a corpse, and $20 million worth of metal if it's alive."
Temari snapped her fingers and said, "We'll take on this mission."
"Wait for the results."
"Thank you, Ms. Temari."
After obtaining the body enhancement serum, the Hydra Squad didn't dare linger. Although they have the Winter Soldier for protection, they quickly bid their farewells and left, escorting the serum back.

Hydra Secret Base-
When the serum was delivered to Pierce, he looked at the bright red liquid in his hands with a greedy expression.
If this drug had no side effects or problems, he could inject himself with a dose.
"Call Ward over."
Upon hearing Pierce's orders, Sitwell immediately summoned Agent Ward.
Entering the room, Ward respectfully asked, "Sir, did you need me?"
Pierce smiled, "Agent Ward, the body enhancement serum you've been longing for is now in our hands."
Upon hearing this, Ward's expression became excited, "Sir, let me be the one to test the effectiveness of this body enhancement serum!"
Seeing Ward's excitement, Pierce chuckled, "I called you here precisely for this. Go and receive the injection."
"After a successful injection, undergo a physical test first. We need to know the effects of this drug and whether there are any side effects."
"Yes, Sir!"
Soon, under the supervision of several doctors, Ward arrived at the medical room.
Pierce and Sitwell stood outside the glass window, observing Ward, who was about to receive the injection.
Ward lay on the operating table, a doctor extracted the body enhancement serum into a syringe, and upon Pierce's confirmation, injected it directly into Ward's body.
With the injection of the body enhancement drug, Ward's body experienced a violent reaction, shaking on the operating table.
The doctors quickly checked the instruments. While there were changes in brainwaves and EKG readings, there were no signs of stopping, relieving the doctors' concerns.
The physique-enhancing serum injected into Ward's body began its transformation within his blood vessels, creating ripples in his entire body.
And thus, half an hour passed. Ward, who had previously fainted, opened his eyes for the first time.
A doctor asked, "Agent Ward, any changes in your body? How do you feel now?"
"I've never felt better."
Ward exerted force with both arms, and the straps that had bound him to the operating table all snapped. Ward walked down from the surgical table.
Several doctors watched Ward cautiously, ready to defend against any sudden attacks.
Pierce, outside the operating room, picked up a microphone and said, "Ward, cooperate with the doctors for a physical examination, then proceed to speed and strength tests."
"Yes, Sir!"
Seeing that Ward didn't lose his mind due to enhanced strength and still followed commands, Pierce felt even more delighted.
Soon, Ward completed a series of examinations and was arranged for strength and speed tests.
Reviewing the submitted test report, Pierce flipped through it.
Ward's overall physical qualities had been comprehensively strengthened. The injuries from his previous career as a special agent had all been healed, restoring his body to its optimal condition.
In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the medical evaluation suggested that Ward could easily live to 120 years without any issues.
Furthermore, his strength had reached the point of a punch having a force of 5 tons. As for speed, he could maintain a speed of 50 kilometers per hour for an entire hour without fatigue.
Seeing the data in front of him, Pierce couldn't hide his joy. Although this data didn't surpass Captain America's, it demonstrated that this enhancement serum had no side effects.
The serum used by Captain America and the Red Skull was considered to have significant side effects afterward. It amplified a person's character to extremes – the Red Skull's evil and Captain America's goodness.
Even the improved Super Soldier Serum used by the Winter Soldier still had some problems, requiring Hydra to control these soldiers through freezing and brainwashing.
With this data, Pierce's current main thoughts were to continue monitoring Ward's changes after injection and to acquire more physique enhancement serums.
"Sitwell, gather as much Vibranium as possible. Get everything on the market and even those on the black market. If you can't obtain them, seize them. In any case, we need them now."
"Yes, Sir!"
Pierce looked at the medical examination report in his hand. His eyes gleamed with insatiable greed. With this data, he saw the hope of world domination drawing closer.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the vast land of Africa-
A few kilometers from a village, several snipers hid in the grass and treetops, aiming their optical scopes at a specific location.
Even farther away, ten kilometers out, numerous tanks, armored vehicles, and armed helicopters were ready. At the military base one hundred kilometers away, several fighter jets were on standby.
Under the sunlight, the figure of Hidan slowly appeared from a distance, casually walking towards the village while carrying the Triple-Bladed Scythe.
"All units, attention! All units, attention!"
"The target has appeared. The target has appeared."
"Snipers, be prepared. Launch the attack on command!"
The snipers, concealed two kilometers from the village, used their optical scopes to focus on Hidan walking from a distance.
At this moment, Hidan, who was leisurely walking, furrowed his brows. He felt the sensation of being watched but he didn't stop.
