"But I defeated the Hydra using this weapon.

The labyrinth has a fireplace that never runs out, and storage system to store unfinished and finished products of his research including the raw materials. There was a golden cauldron over the fireplace and a liquid that is useful for all resear
After checking the [Lab] he suddenly came to a realization that he was supposed to be start working on his journey to china. He dressed up and went to O&M to see how things has been going.

Ethan and Shelly discussed casually as they made their way toward the airport. The driver was really friendly and they began discussing among themselves as they drove. Nevertheless, when they reached a pretty lonely lane. A Jeep suddenly took over and blocked them with their car, then four guys wearing hoods and mask walked out of the cars with guns.
