------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After finishing a few more dungeons in the east side of new york, with little to no difficulty stacking a few interesting items in the process, I went back home to spend some bonding time with Emily, where I got a message from Fury saying he had found the information I had previously requested.

According to the information Fury had found, Ulysses would be in a black market convention in the coast of Watamu Kenya, a very private convection according to the files, one that very few people knew about, fortunately for me, S.H.I.E.L.D was one of those selected individuals that knew about the convection, all thanks to their spies within the black market community.

Grinning, I memorized the location of the convention and date from the files. According to them, the convention would take place two weeks from now, meaning I had two weeks to plan how I would steal Ulysses from all of the Vibranium he had in store. 

"I wonder, will me getting all of that Vibranium fuck Vision's body?" I hummed.

I suppose, in the end I really don't care if Vision gets his body, he did nothing with it, at all, Thanos clapped his metallic cheeks, and so did everyone in Infinity War.

Anyway, once I had the Vibranium in my possession, all I would need would be to find a way to acquire some Adamantium, by obviously no legal means, all I knew about it's creation was that a very very very small part of the government had the recipe in a very very secret place, as it was one of their greatest discoveries, too bad I planned to steal it, I wonder if Fury would want to help me out.

Though, even if Fury didn't help, I knew that eventually given enough time, I would acquire the formula.

"Dad, look! A transmuted cookie!" I turned around to see Emily with a burt cookie on her hands, how the fuck do you transmute something magically and it comes burned.

"Looks… tasty," I smiled, hoping she would not ask me to eat it.

"Please don't lie to me, I am seven, not five, I know it's more coal than cookie, but still, I am improving, right?" Emily smiled, as wide as possible.

"Yeah, you are," I nodded with a chuckle.

"Well I am off to try and transmute an edible cookie! Wish me luck!" Emily said, running out of my room.

She's always doing something nowadays. I'm proud of her, by the time Strange comes here, she will probably be a powerful sorceress of her own right.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks later, and I was in Watamu Kenya using a clever disguise, that was no disguise at all, though I was wearing sunglasses, and a hat, but not to hide my appearance, it was all a fashion choice of Emily, she bought the hat and the glasses with the allowance I had given her.

As for the convention, I had yet to see Ulysses in the area, but even without him I had seen a few interesting items, heck there was a guy selling an old nuclear bomb, though according to Fury that nuke would never leave Africa.

But even without the nuke, well, there was very interesting collection of weapon, so I was keeping myself entertained until Ulysses appeared, after all, with Vibranium and in the future Adamantium, any weapon from here was useless, an outdated piece of gear that whilst interesting, would serve no purpose.

"See anything you like?" [Abayomi Kr'pk LV 29] The man in question had caught me watching some of his merchandise.

"Hmm," I hummed, looking over his collection of assault rifles, "I like some of them, especially the vintage AK-47, it brings me back to the old days," I grinned.

"Yes, it does the same to me," Abayomi smiled, handing me one of the vintage's AK-47, "It old, but effective, and at the end of the day, isn't that what we all look for? Effectiveness, these babies will kill your enemies, on the right hands of course, for the right price."

He was a good seller, I had to admit I was almost considering buying some weapons, but for now, I needed to keep a low profile, didn't want to scare Ulysses out of the convention before he even arrived, "I'll come back after I finish some businesses with a partner of mine," I lied.

"I'll be waiting for you, sir," Abayomi bowed, as I left his stand.

With a smile, I continued walking until the man of the hour, the one and only appeared, [Ulysses Klaus - The Arms Dealer - LV 35], inwardly grinning at the sight of him, I moved towards the man, looking at his bodyguards, [Roberto Jimenez LV 29], [Abdul Amesh - LV 27].

"Ulysses Klaus, the man I was looking for," I greeted, as the black arms dealer in question turned to look at me with a mix of confusion and recognition, something didn't feel right, so for now, I would move with caution.

"I seem to be at a disadvantage here, Mr?" Ulysses greeted.

"Albert, Albert Wesker," I replied.

"Well, Mr. Wesker, what can little old me do for you?" Ulysses grinned, a mad grin, something to be expected from a mad man.

"Well, this is a… delicate conversation, of a delicate amount of money and merchandise, so, how about we have this discussion in private?" I had no idea how these arms dealing businesses were made, Hydra never covered that, but, from what Fury told me, the big fishes liked the privacy, and he was the biggest fish here.

"I see, well, I would be honored to hear your mysterious proposition," Ulysses smiled, "But before that, you don't mind if my guys search you for weapons or mics, right?"

"Go ahead," I smiled, giving his two bodyguards the greenlight, as if I needed weapons to crush them. With the strength I had right now, I could probably pull a Gregor Clegane on their asses.

"He's clean," Roberto said, after palping my body, while Abdul used an electric device to scan me.

"He has no electronics on him, he's clean boss," Abdul nodded.

"Well, now let's talk business," Ulysses smiled.

"Let's," I nodded.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I followed Ulysses to his base, already wondering what the man was playing at, he knew me, his eyes sparkled with recognition, meaning he knew I was lying about my name, the question is, what does he win with this? The only plausible thing I can think of is that he allied himself with Hydra, as in Hydra paid him a buttload of money to deal with me, other than that, I had no idea.

Perhaps he simply knew who I was, and what I had done, and simply decided not to piss me off, I mean, it would be wise of him, or perhaps I was imagining shit, I mean, the guy was clearly related to the Joker.

As I pondered over what Ulysses wanted, and how I would steal his Vibranium, the answer to the first question came, as a few red dots in my minimap appeared, using [Sight], I confirmed my suspicions, Ulysses was indeed working with Hydra. 

Taking a deep breath, I searched all the rooms in his base looking for the Vibranium with [Sight], finding the material on the last floor of his room. At this I grinned, he was not driving me into a trap, but to my prize.

"I have a question," I said, looking at Ulysses.

"And that question is?" Ulysses inquired, offering me a candy.

"How much did they pay you to try and capture me?" I asked.

Much to my surprise, instead of reacting in a shocked matter, Ulysses laughed, "A shit ton of money,"

"I respect your honesty," I smiled.

"Well, you already know," Ulysses shrugged, "So what now?" as he said that his two bodyguards pointed their weapons at me, at this Ulysses laughed, "Guys, I appreciate the effort, but that shit ain't gonna work on him," he then turned to look at me, "It ain't right?"

"Not anymore," I nodded.

"Good, just confirming," Ulysses nodded, looking at his bodyguards which made them lower their guns, chuckling, he turned to look at me, and asked once again, "So now what?"

"I go into the trap," I smiled.

"Haha!" Ulysses cackled, "I knew there was a reason I liked ya, you are as crazy as me,"
