This effect is only known to Griffin. For Howard, he has always believed that his own safe is comparable to the central bank's vault, impenetrable.After all, he has been bragging in front of Griffin how strong his home's safe is, and it would definitely be very uncomfortable for him to know the truth.

No matter how strong the fortress is, the real threat always comes from within. Uncle, you know that it is the shortest piece of wood in the barrel?

Volume 122.1: [-] Steve's Perspective

If it weren't for the protection device he invented to remove all the contents of the vault in time, who knows how many things would be lost.

If not, the visitor wouldn't kidnap him in anger.

This is also the expected result.

But Griffin was not too worried. According to her eavesdropping, the mastermind behind the woman who kidnapped Howard just wanted to use the weapons he made to launch them in New York, thereby destroying his reputation and letting him live freely throughout the world. The Western world can't get along.

Is there anything more vengeful than destroying one's spirit?At least that's what the mastermind thinks.

As a mature capitalist, if he can't get along in the Western world, then there will be no place for him in the world.

Griffin, who heard this, actually wanted to intervene: If the Eastern and Western camps can't survive, they can actually go to the third world.

Obadiah is doing very well in China now. Even a businessman of his level knows that he should be flexible in doing business and bet on both sides in order to make himself invincible.If Howard also went there, China's economic development would have to be advanced by 20 years.

In that case, why should I stay in the United States, and go to China to continue the friendly development of Sino-German relations?

And I also want to bring Zeppelin with me. China may be able to develop aircraft carriers 70 years earlier.It indirectly contributed to the friendship between China and Germany, which is very cool.

The advanced concept of the aircraft carrier, the Rubik's Cube, and the space colonization plan are all more important than the other. If the United States loses the upper hand, it will depend on who will suffer more.

Probably in the cognition of the behind-the-scenes master, even if a capitalist at Howard's level is going to be hanged, he should be hung on the lightning rod of the Empire State Building. It is impossible for the water to flow down.

Griffin has to admit that although this idea is relatively simple and simple, it poses a great threat to Howard.Not only that, but the troubles for the United States are not small.If Howard really went to the third world according to her idea, it is estimated that the entire western world will definitely catch this mastermind at all costs, and then kill this limit and exchange it for a dog.

However, after the female spy opened the vault and found that all the good things inside were missing, the plan changed.Without the weapons of mass destruction created by Howard himself to persecute the citizens of New York, there is no way to destroy his spirit. How can this achieve the best effect of revenge on him?

But the kidnappers weren't without a backup plan.

If you don't have a ready-made weapon, wouldn't it be over if you just build another one?

Some things are inherited.

For example, in terms of being forced to make weapons, both the Stark family father and son said that I don’t want to make weapons of mass destruction anymore, while making weapons of mass destruction that are more powerful than weapons of mass destruction.

Duplicity, the environment is fragrant.

Oh man.

Although he knew that Howard was coerced into delaying the attack, Griffin had no intention of saving him for the time being.Until the finished product is remade, the uncle who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman is still safe.

We can't let him be saved so quickly, we have to let my uncle suffer some hardships first.

Even if he doesn't do anything, with Howard's wisdom and vigilance, he can find an opportunity to escape during the process of making weapons, or reveal his location through some special contact methods known only to his partners.

"Well, I hope my colleagues can find him as soon as possible." Carter sighed.It was confirmed that Griffin was fine, and she didn't need to stay here all the time.

"If others haven't made any progress, it won't be too late for Sister Carter to end at that time." The girl tinkering with the equipment said casually.

Carter opened the door and left without thinking too much.

After all, what kind of evil could a cute little girl have?

A week later, Howard was still missing, and some bad winds began to blow with his long absence.For the time being, the Strategic Science Corps can rely on its support for the president and the president's trust to take over the guardianship of the Rubik's Cube, but some tentative voices of discord have begun to emerge in several competing organizations.

You must know that in addition to the Strategic Science Corps, there are many similar agencies in the United States, such as the FBI that has formed a relationship with Howard and Griffin from the beginning, and the CIA that has always behaved harmlessly to humans and animals.But in the end, they are still agencies that have intelligence. They seem to have investigated some inside information about Howard's disappearance, but they are cautious about whether they can get the most out of it. Therefore, these two agencies only expressed a certain degree of concern, but the cannon fodder They danced very happily, but these voices were only a minority and could not yet form the mainstream.

Griffin understood that they were only authorized by the higher authorities to pick out the cannon fodder for Thunder. The reason why their masters have not made any big moves until now is simply because the time is not yet ripe.

All the forces coveting the Infinity Rough Stone are waiting for the right time.But this opportunity came quickly and disappeared quickly.

Because Steve is here.

As a close friend Howard is willing to spend most of his life searching for, when the former is in danger, Steve is also willing to save him at all costs. Under the premise that the Science Corps can only investigate some superficial investigations and no new progress has been made, Steve Husband resolutely rejected all subsequent activities and volunteered to stand up.

He wants to use his own method to find Howard, and he wants to see people and dead bodies.

"...So you found me." Facing the two people who came to the door again, Griffin already understood the ins and outs of the matter.There is a slight smile on the face of the beautiful goose egg that has just taken shape. "Then, what can I do to help you? I once gave my uncle an emergency communication device, so that he can call for help in case of emergency. But...he doesn't seem to have used this device for so long."

It's not that she deliberately didn't report it. The sea king was taken away on the bed that day, and there was no time to change clothes. Naturally, the device disguised as a button would not work.

But she also knew the specific location where Howard was being held. After all, she didn't need to use this prop to know his location.

I have to tell them the location without revealing that I have been observing in secret, so how should I make all this look reasonable for a while?

Steve looked at the girl for a while, then suddenly said, "You don't seem to be nervous at all?"

Although this is basically the same as what Carter said before, it almost made Griffin fail.

For a split second, she almost had an involuntary urge to repent, similar to a believer's involuntary repentance when facing a priest.

This man... seems to be able to see through her.

Volume 122.2: [-] Too bad, live in Bengbu

No, why am I guilty?It's not me who kidnapped him. Although I know where he is now, if I really want to investigate, it's at most intentional laissez-faire. Uncle's daily life is a bit monotonous, but he hasn't been physically threatened.Captain America won't suffocate me under his chest just because of this, will he?

"Steve..." Carter reminded dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry, Peggy." Steve patted the back of his girlfriend's hand.

At the critical moment, Carter interrupted him, and Griffin immediately adjusted his mentality.

"What else can I say?" She sighed, lowering her eyelids to avoid the other party's gaze.When I looked at Steve again, I put away the previous smiling expression, and continued with a little seriousness: "I have warned him a long time ago, and told him to pay more attention to personal safety. After all, I am in such an important position, but I have no Self-conscious, often alone, if someone really wants to harm him, how can he guard against it? Having said that, every time his answer is very perfunctory. It's not that I'm not nervous at all, but because of this situation It doesn't surprise me at all."

I didn't say that, with his flamboyant personality, it would be abnormal if there were no accidents.Apart from other things, having slept with so many women, don't they have any resentment against this kind of scumbag who dumps him when he's used up?

"Your Uncle Howard did a poor job in this aspect. It's not the first time he has done this, and he has quite a lot of experience in dealing with this aspect." Carter said something that he didn't know whether he recognized or despised him as a human being. "But this time it's different. Not only did he play off, but according to the results of the investigation by the Strategic Science Corps, the person who kidnapped him was not just one of his YEQING people."

I already knew this.

The girl twitched her lips. "Don't tell me that the kidnapper's real target is me."

"To be precise, it should be the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. Except for high-level insiders, it is almost impossible for outsiders to know your connection with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube." Carter said. "Everyone knows that the Cosmic Rubik's Cube will be stored at the United Nations Headquarters in the future, and before that, it will be temporarily kept by the Strategic Science Corps. If anyone wants to seize the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, they can only take advantage of this time period."

Later, Carter emphasized again: "But I don't think this possibility is great."

Infinite energy products extracted from space rough stones are sold in the face of the world, where can't I buy some research?Why take the risk and sneak into New York?Even if you really want to do this, isn't it much easier to sneak into the Infinite Energy Company than to join the Strategic Science Corps?

Well, even if these gangsters spend a lot of time, energy, and materials to train a group of spies to bribe internal agents with the mentality of "get the original version of the good stuff", and really avoid layers of guards and enter the headquarters of the Strategic Science Corps, they can't be fooled. Past Steve and Carter and others, not to mention the last level guardian Griffin.She doesn't even know that the Rubik's Cube is one with her. This alone is doomed to failure. This plan is not feasible at all.

It is not easy to capture it with a little brain.

Only a short-sighted fool like Hydra would do this despite everything and violate the laws of logic, right?This might still be possible in wartime, but as for being treated like street rats by everyone shouting and beating them now... do they jump out because they think they didn't die fast enough?

Griffin just casually said that she ruled out this possibility from the beginning, because this kidnapping was a revenge against Howard himself, and it was his retribution for an experiment on the Eastern Front in 1944.

The people here just want to ruin him, for some revenge reason, they think Howard can take revenge on him more alive than dead.

Now that it is confirmed that Howard is not in danger of life, Griffin is naturally happy to see a situation that can make his uncle remember.

How can he change it on his own.

"Well, since it's not the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, maybe it's really just for Uncle himself. Maybe he offended someone somewhere? It's just that this kind of target is too difficult to find, after all, he has offended so many people , he can’t even remember it himself.” After finishing speaking, Griffin asked again. "If you ask him about this kind of thing, you probably won't get any accurate answer. Besides, what you want to know more than this is his whereabouts? I don't know how I can help you in this regard?"

Steve nodded. "It can be said that. But we have roughly grasped the location of their lair, and it is only a matter of time before we find it."

Apart from opening the map view and being able to find out Howard's whereabouts within a week, the speed of the agents is already considered very fast.

"Then what do you want me for?" Griffin spread his hands. "I thought you would try to use the ability of the space stone to lock their location. Don't you already know the location now?"

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows again. "But if you guys just want some 'nice stuff,' I happen to have some nice new stuff right here."

"You and Howard are quite similar in some ways, and I probably understand why he takes care of you so much." Steve and Carter looked at each other, his face was kind, recalling the memories of getting along with Howard, he did not refuse Griffin's proposal.

Carter nodded and echoed, "Yeah, even the expressions on sales are similar."

This child may have the talent to become a profiteer.

If she hadn't known Griffin's background, she would have wondered if this girl was Howard's illegitimate daughter in Germany when he was young.Otherwise, why would this Neptune take care of this child and indulge her in everything.

The corners of the girl's eyes twitched slightly, and she snapped her fingers at the two of them. "I'd better take you to see the new equipment."

After picking out a few new products independently developed, the two were ready to leave.

"Peggy, go organize the manpower and transportation first, I still have some things I want to confirm with Griffin." In front of the elevator door, Steve suddenly said to his girlfriend.

Carter didn't doubt him, nodded and went downstairs first.

As the third person left, Steve turned to look at the slightly uncomfortable girl.

He took a deep breath and said, "You knew about Howard's kidnapping from the beginning, right?"

"I believe that you are innocent in this incident. After all, you have no reason to harm him. But I still want to understand why you didn't choose to tell the situation, but let the situation develop."

this man.

Sure enough, it was still seen.

Griffin now feels as if he has made a mistake in the eyes of adults, a child who tried his best to cover it up, thinking that his clothes are perfect, but his every move is clearly seen.Facing Steve's perceptive attitude, she understood that she should not continue to play dumb any longer.

Confession may be the only effective solution to the problem at hand.

Volume 122.3: [-] Be on guard against slippery thinking

"How did you see it?"

"With your compassion for the weak, you don't seem like someone who would stand by and watch." Since you sympathize with and care for the weak so much, how can you turn a blind eye to the experiences of your relatives and friends?Unless you don't see Howard as an acquaintance, as far as Steve knows, that can't happen.

"I just took advantage of such an opportunity." Griffin admitted frankly, she looked at Steve without any intention of avoiding her eyes. "As a friend of my uncle, you also know how unreliable he is in his private life. He is almost thirty, and he doesn't even have a regular girlfriend, and he makes enemies everywhere with his flamboyant personality. I'm worried that this will happen. One day: He was walking on the street, and was attacked by a killer who suddenly jumped out of the crowd. As long as he can calm down a bit, it can be considered a success."

After saying these words, she was afraid that the other party might misunderstand, so she quickly added: "Don't worry, he is safe now."

"These are not real problems, the problem is not here. The problem is not what you think is 'controllable', but the correctness of this matter itself." Unexpectedly, Steve shook his head and threw Griffin A very sharp question arises. "Do you feel like what you're doing is 'right'?"

These two sentences immediately collapsed the defense line that the girl had built up with great difficulty.

Of course not.Although I didn't help the tyrant, I didn't lend a helping hand either.Such behavior is far from correct.

Griffin can naturally use other reasons to convince himself, but no matter how reasonable an excuse is, it cannot cover up his injustice.

Because she can distinguish between good and bad in her heart, and her long-standing moral concepts let her understand the right and wrong of things, but she will inevitably act rashly because of her preferences.

Letting go of all this is the embodiment of her willfulness.

She knew what she was doing was wrong, but she did it anyway.Just because she doesn't like it.She didn't like Howard's attitude of recklessly playing the game of life, and she ended up doing it recklessly.

Now that you know this truth, why do you still make this mistake?

It is said that I have to examine myself three times, so how could I be taken advantage of because of a momentary negligence?

Noticing that Griffin has recognized the problem, Steve said: "Try to manipulate it because I have this ability. From your point of view, what is 'reassuring' is not enough for the authorities to make him 'reassuring'." '. Everyone has flaws, and these flaws can be big or small, but if you want to correct them just because you can't understand them, isn't that imposing your own preferences on others? Not to mention, he is still you 'uncle'."

One day you can delay rescue because of other people's personality problems, and tomorrow you can use similar reasons to wait for the situation to deteriorate.To put it bluntly, even your relatives and friends can be influenced by your preferences. What kind of mood and attitude will you face other strangers?

The Cosmic Rubik's Cube has endowed you with an extraordinary high QI point, but this is not the reason why you can manipulate others at will with your personal preferences.

Superheroes are never superior to others. As superheroes, they do not have the power to kill other people.

Seeing Griffin's face change, he imagined that he was in the midst of a fierce tormenting confrontation.Knowing that the other party had already listened to what he said, Steve no longer provoked her with more serious words.

He patted the girl on the shoulder and boarded the elevator.

"What did you tell her just now?" Carter, who received Steve, couldn't help asking when he saw that the other party was frowning.

Steve thought about it, and thought there was no need to hide this from his girlfriend. "She's hiding something from us."

"Is there such a thing?" Carter looked surprised. "You mean she knows where Howard is being held?"

Steve nods.

Seeing this, Carter was even more puzzled.

"But why did she do it? I mean, Howard treats her like his own niece, and she respects him as much. If she knows where Howard is, why put him in danger?"

If she does this, once something irreversible happens, what good will it do her?

"I think she should have her own ideas." Through the front window, Steve watched the vehicle slowly merge into the main road, and he continued. "But don't worry, I don't think she did it with malice. From the few products she promoted and the disaster relief foundation she established, it can be seen that this kid is not bad in nature. If Howard is really in crisis, she Will be more anxious than us. Since she is not anxious, it means that Howard is safe so far."

Carter thought for a while before he figured out the key points, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"So, the whole thing happened under her nose all the time? Even if she didn't see all of it, she also witnessed most of it?"

This kid is so good at acting, it's because I was so worried about that dog, and even ran to comfort her, but in the end, was I the only one who was nervous?

Steve added: "Don't forget, she is the guardian of the space stone, distance means nothing to her."
