Chapter 235: C227
"You're insane, Pierce, and I can see how tempting the idea might be," Mrs. Ophelia said, her voice sharp and filled with disdain.
She glared at Pierce like he was a madman, shouting, "Are you even sure you can find them? What makes you think you can take down a group of superhumans?"
Pierce leaned back, unfazed.
Ophelia's tone grew colder. "Even if you manage to replicate those superhuman legions, how do you plan to deal with Leon? Who could possibly withstand his wrath? Or do you think he's not powerful enough to destroy the planet with a mere flick of his hand?"
Among the group, Mrs. Ophelia was undoubtedly the voice of reason. While the others were swayed by Pierce's vision, she remained cautious and composed.
Pierce's grand plans were as enticing as they were deadly. "His promises may be sweet," she thought, "but they're laced with poison."
Pierce underestimated the cost of provoking someone like Leon. Ophelia, as Mrs. Viper, had a deep understanding of Hydra's vast industrial empire. She knew the stakes.
Hydra could shake the world, but compared to Leon—a being capable of reversing time and singlehandedly killing Laufey—what was Hydra but a fleeting bubble?
Her words cut through the room, extinguishing any glimmer of excitement among the others. It was as if she had poured cold water over a roaring flame.
