Hearing the other party's somewhat irritated reply, Luca sneered and shook his head.
In fact, Luca didn't want to offend a HYDRA leader for no reason.
Ever since he learned that his family seemed to have some unclear connection with HYDRA, Luca had always treated HYDRA with the mindset of avoiding trouble if possible.
Don't be fooled by how insignificant these guys seem in the Marvel movies, perhaps even being completely uprooted by Captain America within a couple of years.
But at this point in time, HYDRA is a vast evil organization spread across the World.
From government officials and capital enterprises at the top, to spies, Agents, intelligence soldiers at the bottom, they have infiltrated every aspect of people's lives.
It was only fortunate that the internal factions of HYDRA were severely divided and there was no true leader to coordinate the overall situation.
Otherwise, with such power, they should have already unified the World.
Facing such an organization, Luca naturally didn't want to provoke them too much.
However, now the other party dared to ambush him at his home with a group of fully armed soldiers, and he had already killed seven or eight of them directly.
If he didn't act tough now, he might be manipulated by the other party later.
'Should I just kill him here?'
Thinking of this, Luca's eyes narrowed slightly, vaguely emitting a dangerous light.
However, when his peripheral vision caught Heinrich's left eye glowing with White light, Luca's thoughts shifted, and he spoke again.
"It's not about what I want now, but what you plan to do? Until now, I still don't know your identities."
Seeing that Luca seemed to be showing signs of relenting, Baron Strucker's expression also improved slightly.
"Wolfgang von Strucker, that is my name. Of course, you can also call me Baron Strucker."
Luca: "Baron?"
"Yes, Baron of Sokovia! In the past, my family and the Orange Family family have always been close partners."
"Additionally, Regenerative Capital is also my industry. When the Orange Family family moved to the United States, my family provided a lot of support and assistance."
'Family?'
Hearing the other party's statement, Luca sneered disdainfully in his heart.
'It seems he doesn't plan to tell the truth? I just don't know if he's just keeping it from me, or if the Orange Family family didn't know Baron Strucker's identity before either.'
"I didn't expect a place like Sokovia to be able to foster a large investment company like Regenerative Capital, with investments spread across Europe?"
"And, this doesn't look like something an investment company would do at all."
As he spoke, Luca's gaze swept over the weapons and soldiers again.
At this point, Baron Strucker's own emotions seemed to have calmed down, and his speaking attitude became a bit more composed.
"Naturally, it's not just Sokovia. In fact, the people standing behind me are far more numerous than you can imagine."
"Alright, since you don't want to talk, don't try to pull rank. Tell me about the cooperation you just wanted to mention."
Luca was too lazy to listen to the other party's fabricated stories, so he immediately interrupted again.
However, his impolite attitude immediately made Strucker's expression stiffen again.
But in the end, he still forced himself to explain, suppressing the Feeling of suffocation in his heart.
According to Baron Strucker, before the first Battle of New York, Gina had intended to cooperate with them.
The cooperation project at that time was to expand Orange Industries' drone production line and introduce drones into the police procurement systems of some small European countries.
They planned to try using drones to replace manual law enforcement.
However, this matter itself was quite difficult and required relying on Regenerative Capital's connections.
Coupled with Gina's subsequent coma, the previous cooperation came to a complete halt.
And now, the resurgence of Orange Industries gave the forces represented by Strucker new ideas.
"The forces behind me can help the Orange Group promote the Orderer Pistol to police departments across the U.S. and even expand the market to the entire Europe later."
"And all your Orange Group needs to do is add a program to the core system of the Orderer Pistol!"
Hearing Baron Strucker's words, Luca's brows immediately furrowed.
He didn't care about the so-called U.S. promotion or the European market.
What truly made him frown was the opponent's last statement: 'add a program.'
"What kind of program are you talking about?"
Strucker pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing his words, before he said.
"It's very simple. Our researchers have developed an intelligent program that can identify criminal indices. This intelligent system, by identifying everyone's information and judging their behavior, can eliminate evil in its infancy before a crime even occurs."
"However, in the initial stage, the program will only be added to the core system but will not be activated."
"Instead, it will be tested with Sokovia as a pilot. Once the system's effectiveness is demonstrated, we will try to promote it to other cities."
"Of course, this will not affect the popularization of the Orderer Pistol. Regardless of whether the pilot in Sokovia is successful or not, Orange Industries will become the World's top arms company as a result."
'Still drawing a pie in the sky?'
Hearing Strucker's statement, Luca's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
'The program you mentioned for identifying crimes, it wouldn't happen to be called Sybil, would it?'
Of course, this thought only flashed through Luca's mind.
Luca was very clear that HYDRA would not be so kind as to create some 'City of Order.'
'What a load of Sybilla! Isn't this Project Insight?!'
In an instant, Luca realized what HYDRA was trying to do.
'Project Insight'—an evil plan that indirectly led to HYDRA's destruction in the movie Captain America 2.
This plan was originally proposed by the HYDRA organization, which was lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D..
On the surface, it relied on an algorithm that could identify all crimes in advance.
Then, through three airborne Helicarriers constantly patrolling the globe, it would quickly strike and eliminate crime.
It seemed to have a similar effect to the 'Sybilla' in the 'Psycho-Pass World.'
But in reality, this algorithm was not designed to identify criminals, but rather HYDRA's Dr. Zola's 'threat prediction algorithm,' which could calculate through everyone's past experiences and behavior patterns worldwide, identify all entities that could pose a threat to HYDRA, and then eliminate them all with the Helicarriers.
And what Baron Strucker was telling him now was exactly the same rhetoric HYDRA used to deceive S.H.I.E.L.D..
Naturally, there was no need to guess what the outcome would be.
'These bastards most likely want to use intelligent drones in conjunction with that so-called threat prediction algorithm to test Project Insight on a small scale within Sokovia.'
'If the Orange Family family gets involved in something like this and the Super Heroes find out, won't they definitely end up in jail for life?'
