Details Determine Success or Failure

When the idea of going to find Gwen came to mind, it grew stronger and even became impossible to shake off. 

However, Russell had no intention of refusing to turn this idea into reality.

While such a life might seem a bit decadent, in a capitalist country, it was somewhat justifiable.

"No. 3, locate Gwen's current position and also gather news related to Spider-Woman from these past few days. Then, project it directly."

Russell opened his previously closed eyes and spoke to the omnipresent No. 3.

"Yes, sir!" No. 3's voice immediately responded.

Two to three seconds later, a massive holographic screen appeared in front of Russell, displaying the latest news about Spider-Woman.

When it came to using holographic projection technology, Russell had gone much further than Tony. Tony had only installed a holographic projection system in his workshop, while Russell had installed holographic projection systems throughout the entire Justice League headquarters.

Not only in the Justice League headquarters, but he had also installed holographic projection systems in his Octopus Monster headquarters office, the apartment in the Sky Apartments, and the unmanned factory controlled by No. 3.

Although these holographic projection systems were not cheap, it was no problem for Russell. Moreover, all the equipment used in these holographic projection systems had been manufactured by No. 3 in the unmanned factory.

Russell only needed to provide the funds for purchasing raw materials, and No. 3 could handle everything on its own.

Russell didn't immediately look at the news on the screen but first checked Gwen's current location.

Empire State University!

Clearly, Gwen's current identity was not the superhero Spider-Woman but a beautiful university student at Empire State University.

After confirming that Gwen was at school, Russell began to browse the news compiled by No. 3.

There wasn't much difference from before; the recent news about Spider-Woman consisted of her fighting criminals and helping the people. The only difference was that Spider-Woman had been slightly less active in recent days.

Russell wasn't surprised by this. He was the one who had encouraged Gwen and Kara to reduce their superhero activities.

After the moral dilemma event they went through last time, Russell finally understood why individuals like Mr. Fantastic Reed and others rarely intervened in ordinary crisis events. It wasn't because they looked down on these everyday crises or were too lazy to intervene. It was because they were all born and raised in this world and knew better than anyone about the so-called political correctness and the ignorant masses.

To avoid being bothered by these meaningless matters, it was best not to get involved from the beginning.

After realizing this, Russell immediately had Kara and Gwen reduce their superhero activities. Previously, Kara and Gwen used to go out and help people every day. Now, they only went out once or twice a week.

Although the frequency had decreased, it turned out that it not only didn't affect their popularity but also made people look forward to their appearances even more.

This was quite normal. For example, if someone appeared in the headlines every day, even if that person was a saint, people would eventually get tired and even resent that they always dominated the headlines. However, when someone who used to be seen every day suddenly disappeared for several days, people would begin to miss them.

Although it seemed unreasonable, it was a common mentality among the general public.

After reading the news compiled by No. 3, Russell didn't immediately fly to the university to find Gwen. Even though he was now used to living under constant scrutiny wherever he went, Gwen wasn't him.

Until now, there were very few people who knew that Gwen was Spider-Woman. Even S.H.I.E.L.D. was still unaware of Spider-Woman's true identity.

Russell initially thought that S.H.I.E.L.D. had long known that Gwen was Spider-Woman. However, when he asked Natasha to search for Spider-Woman's information in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database, he discovered that S.H.I.E.L.D. had never known Gwen's identity as Spider-Woman.

Although he didn't know why S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't investigated Spider-Woman's identity, it was a good thing for Gwen.

After turning off the holographic screen in front of him, Russell took out his phone and sent a text message to Gwen.

That's right! He didn't make a phone call; he just sent a text message. Gwen was currently at school, which meant she had classes today. Calling her without knowing if she was in class wasn't appropriate.

What they called "details in dealing with an connoisseur" was what this was all about!

Especially when dealing with young women in their early twenties like Gwen, one should pay more attention to these small details.

Details determine success or failure!

Russell had always held this saying as a maxim.

Just over a minute later, Gwen called him.

This was the advantage of sending a text message. If the other person was unavailable, sending a text message wouldn't disturb them. If the other person was available, they would naturally call back.

"Where are you right now?" Gwen asked directly.

"At the Justice League headquarters!" Russell replied promptly.

"Don't you need to accompany Diana or Kara today?" Gwen asked with a smile.

"No, they are both still working."

"Have you finished classes? If you have, I can come pick you up."

After hearing Russell's words, Gwen fell silent for a few seconds. Then she continued, "No need, I'll come directly to the headquarters. It's been a while since I've seen Hulk."

"All right! I'll wait for you at the headquarters!"

"Okay!"

After finishing the call, Russell decided not to leave and lay back down, basking in the nourishment of the sunlight.

However, he had only been lying down for less than ten minutes when No. 3's voice rang out.

"Sir, someone attempted to infiltrate the headquarters but was apprehended by patrolling agents White Zetsu No. 12 and No. 13."

"The intruder claims to be an old friend of yours named Perkins."

Perkins?

Upon hearing No. 3's report, Russell opened his eyes and furrowed his brow slightly.

"Where is she now?"

"She has been taken to the interrogation room by White Zetsu No. 12 and No. 13."

"Project the surveillance footage from the interrogation room."

Just as Russell finished speaking, No. 3 projected the holographic screen.

Seeing the person in the surveillance footage, Russell couldn't help but look puzzled. It was indeed Perkins, but her current condition was not good. Her beautiful face had visible bruises, and there were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth. The black leather jacket she was wearing also had visible tears, as if it had been torn with knives and daggers.

It was clear that these tears in her jacket were made by cold weapons like knives and daggers.

Although Russell didn't know why Perkins had suddenly come to the Justice League headquarters, out of consideration for their previous cooperation on several missions, he decided to go and check.

Beautiful women always received special treatment from him.
