"Madame Gao is also your enemy. We have a basis for cooperation," Daisy first stated the basic positions of both sides, indicating a potential for collaboration.
If it were Viper from a day ago, she would have likely refused. She enjoyed watching others fight, not getting involved herself, even if one of the parties was her enemy. Joining in to eliminate the enemy wasn't her style; she preferred to observe the chaos and contradictions, watching them fight all over the place and relishing the satisfaction of controlling everything.
However, there had been a subtle shift in her mindset, and now she was seriously considering Daisy's proposal.
Even with the mutual resonance as the foundation, Madame Viper hesitated, saying, "Fight against Hand? Many of my subordinates would sacrifice themselves."
"It seems like you don't care much about the lives of your subordinates," Daisy sneered. With Madame Viper's charm, she could easily hire a bunch of mercenaries to do her bidding with a bang. If they lived they would be lucky to survive from her, and she could save money if they died.
Madame Viper shook her head again, stating, "Even if we remove Madame Gao, I would still face pressure from the remaining four fingers of the Hand."
"Even if you don't remove Madame Gao, you and the Hand are not friends. Japan is too small to accommodate two forces."
"How sure are you that you can kill Madame Gao?"
"With my abilities and your poison, killing her won't be difficult," Daisy replied, recounting their previous conversation the other day.
Both women laughed simultaneously.
"It's quite troublesome; the whole thing is in your favor," Madame Viper extinguished her cigarette. She hadn't made up her mind yet, seemingly wanting to get something more from Daisy. Was it a favor? or benefits? She wasn't sure herself.
Daisy didn't have many chips herself, but she could follow the spirit of the Braised Egg, selling others for her benefit...
"All the Yashida family's assets will be yours." Initially, Daisy just wanted information on the disappearance of those supplies. Now, with the changed circumstances, reporting information about Nazis to the higher-ups would be more convincing. SHIELD didn't really care about the Yashida family.
"Can you make decisions for SHIELD in this matter?"
"I can guarantee that SHIELD officially will not participate in the division of the Yashida enterprise."
She spoke clearly, giving promises. In reality, there were no guarantees. The Yashida enterprise was too vast; the sudden drop of such a large piece of cake would attract the attention of countless people.
People willing to risk their lives for money were everywhere, unafraid of death. What is Hydra? Stop us from making money? Get Lost!
Moreover, Hydra wasn't a united and friendly organization. Cut off one head, and two more would grow. It sounded impressive, as if they could never be defeated, but in reality, there are too many internal factions in Hydra. They were like a bunch of competing warlords; if one fell, the others would applaud and then rush to swallow the fallen companion's assets.
Afterward, they would shout about inheriting their fallen comrade's will, gather the fallen comrade's subordinates, and vow revenge and retribution.
Even the strategic Red Skull, with all his talent and cunning, could only barely suppress the other leaders. However, after his disappearance, Hydra immediately fell into disarray.
Madame Viper, wanting to swallow the Yashida enterprise, naturally didn't think that it would be as easy as detoxifying a poison!
Although there would be many constraints, after careful consideration, she still agreed. She has very good social skills and is not afraid to deal with people, especially the men in power.
Going left and right among the group of men and ultimately securing the largest piece of the cake, this is something she had been doing for many years.
Her natural enemies are women like Daisy, and of course, old monsters like Madame Gao are also among her natural enemies.
"Alright, I'll hear your plan."
"The old thing set up a trap for me. We'll go there, poison them all, and finish the job! What do you think?" Daisy's plan was simple straightforward and seemed relatively safe.
Madame Viper gave her a charming look, then realized that her feminine charm might not work on another woman. She said, somewhat annoyed, "You overestimate the effectiveness of poison and underestimate Madame Gao's abilities. My poison won't affect her, and even if she gets poisoned, she has a mystical energy that can heal physical injuries."
Daisy scratched her head, realizing that the effectiveness of the poison wasn't as overbearing as in the novels. Though she had expected it, hearing this news still made her feel a bit down.
"Then let's poison all her subordinates, and after that, we can take down the old lady together." Her plan is still the same routing of several people working together.
If possible, bringing in a few hundred people would be even better! What if she had trained chi for four hundred years? Relying on the number of people to beat her to death!
After discussing for a while, they had to admit that Madam Gao was quite tricky. This was the reason Madame Viper hadn't gained the upper hand in their years of conflict. In the end, personal strength mattered most in this world. Even if one couldn't win, they could escape.
In their plan, they also considered the capabilities of Wolverine and Yashida Shingen, and they were optimistic that they could win.
"It doesn't matter, bring your subordinates. Let's move together. If necessary, I can also help you escape!" Daisy said this before the battle, a statement that would be scorned by righteous heroes, but Madame Viper didn't mind. She thought it was a mature and steady performance.
...
Shikoku Island, Kochi Prefecture, the ancient castle of the Yashida family.
This building, surrounded by mountains, has a history of 700 years. Despite various ups and downs, they had survived to this day with their main base deep in the mountains, enduring even after several misalignments.
The bright moon quietly climbed the branches, and the castle was well-lit. Numerous servants in traditional attire were preparing for dinner.
There was no hustle and bustle here, no lively voices of guests.
In the main hall, only four people were seated from beginning to end.
Seated in the main seat was Madame Gao, still dressed plainly, with wrinkles covering her face, triangular eyes, and a cloudy gaze.
The hosts of this place, Yashida Shingen, and Yashida Mariko, father and daughter, sat facing each other in the lower left and right positions.
However, Yashida Shingen looked pale, with faint bloodstains seeping from under his clothes.
Mariko had no major injuries, only a bruise on her forehead.
Another guest was Wolverine, securely fastened to a metal chair.
His powerful regenerative abilities left no traces of wounds on his body, but trying to break free from the seemingly heavy metal handcuffs proved to be quite difficult.
"Ah!—"
"Ha!—"
In the main hall, only Wolverine's loud roars could be heard. Unfortunately, no matter how much force he exerted, he couldn't break free.
"Mr. Logan, I admire your resilience, but you're not known for explosive strength. Save your energy." Madame Gao spoke.
To be fair, in order to find Daisy, she had spent quite a bit of effort.
She felt a bit helpless faced with teleportation abilities. After thinking about it. she could only resort to this stupid method - lie in wait and seize the opportunity when Daisy jumped out to save people.
