It was still that small alley, and connected rhombus mirrors twisted and surged.
Samuel and Maria Hill walked out of the Mirror Dimension.
"I will stop my investigation of you and seal your and Jessica Jones' files."
Maria Hill spoke first, but Samuel was noncommittal.
"My number is already saved on your phone."
Maria Hill looked deeply at Samuel, turned around, and left.
She needed time to digest the tip of the iceberg that this mysterious man had shown, and she also needed to adapt to her new self after becoming a Super Soldier.
More importantly, she didn't believe that this man sold her things whose value could not be measured by money—just for money!
Cooperating with him required extreme caution, otherwise she, who had already stepped into the abyss with one foot, was likely to be dragged into a deeper abyss!
Samuel recalled Mjolnir, which was left on the roof before the Leap of Faith, and waited for Dottie Underwood to return.
When she returned, she had changed into a new outfit: stockings, a long dress, a trench coat, and a blue fisherman's hat on her head, looking stylish and elegant, beautiful and enchanting.
Arm in arm with Samuel, the two walked out of the alley and into a nearby high-end hotel.
The next day, Dottie Underwood, who had become a Super Soldier, went to a place called Madripoor.
Madripoor is located in Southeast Asia, and is both a port city and a port state.
The center of the island is a plateau, while the edges are cliffs.
The city is divided into the Upper City and the Lower City, with a huge disparity between the rich and the poor.
The upper class lives a corrupt and modern life, while the poor live hard lives, stealing, robbing, kidnapping, and swindling.
Historically, this was a gathering place for pirates and has a strong pirate culture.
To this day, it refuses any extradition of criminals and is a paradise for many fugitives.
This is also one of the commercial hubs of Southeast Asia: , ５ ; ' ' 7 ' ? . Backup : " : Middle ; Transfer : ? ' Group ? . ! 8 , ' ５ , with hotels and shopping malls standing in great numbers, extremely prosperous.
In [The Falcon and the Winter Soldier], the corrupted Sharon Carter operated here under the guise of the Power Broker, developing and selling the Super Soldier Serum and other weapons.
The Flag Smashers organization, almost all of whom were Super Soldiers, got their serum from here!
In the comics, Madripoor is also related to many superheroes and villains.
In the Lower City, there is an oasis in the slum, a rare place of joy—the Princess Bar.
The Boss of the bar is Wolverine's friend, and Wolverine also invested in this bar under an alias.
The villain Lionfang once established a pirate stronghold here, controlling it in secret, but he was later defeated by mercenary heroes like Wolverine.
Then Madripoor fell under the control of the HYDRA organization, directly managed by Madame HYDRA, and it quickly became the center of World terrorist activities.
S.H.I.E.L.D. and Iron Man took action to end HYDRA's rule, supporting Tiger, who, with Wolverine's help, defeated her opponents and became the crime boss of Madripoor's underground World.
Tiger's real name is Huan Jieshan, born into a very wealthy family in Singapore that operates the Huan International Bank.
She experienced a kidnapping where the leader who kidnapped her wanted to brainwash her and recruit her to add a finance-oriented member to their team, but his brainwashing was disrupted by the X-Men.
However, the brainwashing still had some effect, causing her to lose some of her sense of right and wrong, relying only on basic morals to judge.
She is an excellent fighter, proficient in using swords or firearms, and wears a suit with extremely high defense, similar to Psylocke's.
Despite becoming the ruler of Madripoor, Tiger has principles and does not engage in drug or slave trade, making her main opponent the now-underground HYDRA organization.
Later, Wolverine's son, Daken, managed to seize control from her, causing Tiger to lose power. Her former subordinates were either killed or joined Daken, and Madripoor fell into Riot once again.
Daken's plot was eventually thwarted by Gambit, X-23, and Tiger, allowing Tiger to regain leadership here.
During this time, Tiger also fell in love with Gambit, and their relationship was very harmonious, but she refused Gambit's invitation to live together in Paris, eventually leading to their breakup.
Furthermore, Hawkeye once stayed at a hotel here and was framed for murder. The hotel's surveillance footage indicated it was indeed Hawkeye, but it was later proven to be an impersonation by Madame Masque.
Mystique also once wanted to shape this place into a nation for Mutants, and a drug that could enhance Mutant powers was popular here for a time, but it eventually fizzled out.
Nick Fury also has a safe house here.
In short, for various organizations and individuals, Madripoor is an outlaw land where everyone vies for control.
Madripoor is far from New York, far from the center of the story, so even if it's turned upside down, it won't affect the 'script' of the sacred timeline.
Let Dottie Underwood go first to scope things out and pave the way. When the time is right, let the headquarters of Viettel Express Logistics Company appear here and build it into their base camp for this timeline, or rather, this Universe!
