"What have I brought to Sokovia?"
'Isn't that backwards?'
Seeing that Baron Zemo had been acting as if he had everything under control since he walked in, Luca didn't bother to beat around the bush with him anymore.
"Fairness? Prosperity? Funds? Job opportunities? I can bring many things to Sokovia, but what does that have to do with you coming here?"
"Has Sokovia now changed to be ruled by your Zemo Family? Or rather, do all commercial collaborations within Sokovia require your approval?"
Hearing Luca's somewhat aggressive retort, Baron Zemo frowned slightly.
However, he immediately realized that his previous attitude had indeed been a bit too arrogant, so he immediately changed to a gentler tone and spoke again.
"Of course not, your collaborations do not require any approval. It's just that HYDRA itself is too dangerous, and I'm worried that Orange Family might be led astray by them if they're not careful."
"In fact, Orange Family and the Zemo Family have been brother families since a long time ago. This friendship has lasted for hundreds of years, and there have even been many intermarriages and unions between the two families."
The other party's sudden attempt to build a relationship made Luca a bit puzzled, but he still directly raised his hand to interrupt Baron Zemo's attempt to trace back family history.
"That's not right, is it? Although I don't know much about our family's history, I remember that Orange Family moved its entire family to the United States because it couldn't make a living in Sokovia."
"Since you say the Zemo Family has such a good relationship with us, why didn't you help us back then?"
To his surprise, Baron Zemo shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Leaving because they couldn't make a living? In today's Sokovia, which family dares to say they're doing well? Having the opportunity to leave might not be a bad thing. It's just that most people don't have Gina's courage."
Listening to such a direct answer, Luca didn't know what to say for a moment, so he simply brought the topic back.
"What happened in the past is no longer important, Baron. Please tell me what your purpose is for coming to see me today?"
Luca didn't believe a word of what he said about worrying that Orange Family would be led astray by HYDRA.
Baron Zemo's eyes flickered upon hearing this, but he still asked sincerely.
"I want to know whether the actual control of the Sybilla System is in the hands of HYDRA or Orange Group!"
'As expected, it's because of this.'
The 'Sybilla System' that Baron Zemo mentioned was naturally the 'Project Insight Test Project' from Luca's collaboration with HYDRA.
Orange Group's most important collaboration in Sokovia, on the surface, was the allocation of Orderer pistols to the police department.
And the 'Sybilla System' claimed to be able to identify a person's crime index, which was indeed too sensitive in the eyes of some people.
As a representative of the local forces, it was not hard to guess that Baron Zemo would be concerned about this matter.
However, not to mention that Strucker was already controlled by Luca, just by listening to the system's name, it was clear that this thing was indeed controlled by Orange Group.
Luca even had Haro help modify HYDRA's 'Threat Index Calculation Program' to truly turn it into a program capable of calculating 'crime index', which is why he named it Sybilla.
"The core control of Sybilla is naturally in the hands of Orange Group. This was clearly stated in the treaty signed with the Sokovian government."
"After all, this system may not only be used in Sokovia in the future. Currently, the Sokovian police only have a certain adjustment right in the branch system."
Although Luca's words did not mention HYDRA, Baron Zemo already understood the meaning expressed, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Luca, have you ever thought about driving HYDRA away and taking over here as the heir of Orange Family?!"
After sending Baron Zemo away, Luca's mind was still a bit muddled.
'Is this guy a bit too aggressive?'
'I just slightly indicated that I held the dominant position in this collaboration with HYDRA, and this guy is already thinking about joining forces to drive HYDRA out of Sokovia?'
'Me driving myself away?'
Although Luca had indeed considered gradually peeling Strucker and his HYDRA faction away from their control over Sokovia and taking over himself.
But that would at least be something that happened after utilizing HYDRA's resources to accelerate the development of Orange and Sokovia.
Moreover, this was only a thought Luca had because he had already controlled Strucker, the HYDRA leader.
Baron Zemo, who knew nothing, dared to directly pull him into this?
However, Luca did not completely reject Baron Zemo's collaboration in the end.
This guy himself didn't seem to have any intention of controlling Sokovia.
Or rather, most of Sokovia's local forces didn't have such aspirations.
Having been invaded by external forces for years, with rulers changing constantly, these local families in Sokovia had long since stopped caring who managed them.
All they wanted was a peaceful and stable Sokovia.
If HYDRA hadn't constantly used Sokovia as a weapon testing ground and actively incited internal wars, they actually wouldn't have minded Sokovia being controlled by HYDRA at all.
However, don't think that Sokovia's local forces are like punching bags that anyone can bully; that's just their means of self-preservation.
In fact, they still had considerable influence in many matters.
At least, when Baron Zemo proactively came to seek a meeting, Strucker, the secret controller of Sokovia, didn't directly refuse him without giving any face, did he?
And now, with Luca having reached a collaboration with Sokovia's local forces, he felt as if he had suddenly entered an easy mode.
'The strong dragon is my man? The local snake is also my man? So... the entire Sokovia is my man?'
Luca could even use HYDRA's identity to slightly suppress Sokovia's local forces, and then divide and conquer.
Finally, he could make a heroic appearance, directly making HYDRA completely withdraw from Sokovia. By then, there would be no'strong dragon' and no 'local snake', and Orange Group would dominate Sokovia.
'These small countries are good, there aren't so many twists and turns, and if things get desperate, you can even resolve them by force.'
Luca had already thought it through. Since he was going to build an industrial Base in Sokovia anyway, he might as well do it properly.
One production line for 'Orderer' pistols, one for military drones, and one for combat robots.
With these three production lines, Luca could continuously produce his own mechanical armaments, directly arming Sokovia to the teeth.
As for the person in charge left behind to oversee the follow-up work.
"Rena, you won't be returning this time. Stay here and help me monitor the progress of the factory's construction."
"Understood, boss!"
