In the bright office, Pierce, wearing a suit and leather tie, stood in front of the window, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart. His confidant, Agent Sitwell, looked slightly nervous, and his face looked somewhat sneaky.

.

I don’t know how long it took, but the door to the office was suddenly pushed open. The huge force almost pushed the door out of the door frame. The door made a huge sound on the wall, making people wonder if the wall would collapse.

Pierce was lucky, but Sitwell was so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot.

Pierce glanced at his confidants indifferently, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"

"Don't you know why I'm here?" Nick Fury said with plenty of anger in his tone.

"I'm not a prophet, how can I know everything?" Pierce said with a smile.

At least from the outside, Pierce is well-dressed and elegant. No one can tell that he is actually a crazy Hydra who thinks about how to rule all mankind all day long.

"Then let me tell you carefully!" Nick Fury slammed the two photos on the table in front of Pierce, and slapped the table angrily.

Sitwell looked at the photo on the table tremblingly, and it turned out to be the two people who had just been captured not long ago.

It is true that Nick Fury can be concealed, but this does not mean that he will still be concealed after the stolen goods are obtained. In that case, he will not be called the King of Agents, nor will he be chosen by Pierce to be the S.H.I.E.L.D.

Director of the bureau.

He will be hidden by Hydra. It is simply because Hydra has too deep roots in SHIELD. Almost half of its members are from Hydra. There are also high-level officials such as Pierce to restrain him. It is not surprising that he will be caught by Lake.

.

It was different this time. Everyone was caught. Following the clues, he quickly found Pierce's body.

As the Secretary-General of SHIELD and also the former director, Pierce has very high authority within SHIELD. It is easy to send people to do this, but what he doesn't know is why Pierce would do this.

"Don't you know that just because of your actions, we almost started a war with aliens?"

"What did I do? What did I do?" After hearing Nick Fury's words, Pierce secretly praised the two people who were arrested.

Although Nick Fury came to accuse them, judging from Nick Fury's words, the two men did not confess their identities as Hydra.

After the worries in his heart were relieved, Pierce's expression became more and more relaxed: "Have you forgotten what department we are in?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't tell me that you don't know how many secrets are hidden within SHIELD, aliens? We even have alien spacecraft." Pierce smiled calmly. "Suppose it were you, and you found that aliens appeared.

What would you do in New York? Don't tell me you wouldn't make the same choice as me. What I did wrong was just accidentally hurting the alien, that's all."

Nick Fury was speechless.

As the former director of SHIELD, Pierce also learned many secrets within SHIELD, or at least before he resigned, SHIELD had no secrets from him.

Whether it's the alien remains in the secret base, or the alien spaceship, or even Nick Fury's previous cooperation with Captain Marvel, he knows all of this.

What he understands better, of course, is SHIELD's style of conduct.

Sending people to arrest Thor? There is no problem in the way SHIELD operates, especially considering that Thor was just an ordinary person with little power at the time. He was stronger, but under the elite agents of SHIELD

It's nothing in front of me.

The only flaw that occurred was that he accidentally killed someone during the arrest. But if the Asgardians hadn't retaliated on a large scale, this would be nothing in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Even Nick Fury himself may not care.

"If you don't care, then why did you use a clone? Don't you know that this will anger those Asgardians?" Nick Fury's face was ashen.

"Because his value is greater." Pierce's expression became more relaxed. "This group of Asgardians are not only stronger than us in terms of individual strength, but also far surpass us in technology. The prince of such a race

I don't believe you haven't seen how useful it is. As long as we have him in our hands, we can torture the Asgardians' technology from his mouth. I believe you would do the same thing.

"

Nick Fury was left speechless. This was indeed his style of acting. Rather, it was precisely because of his style that he was chosen as his successor by Alexander Pierce.

A living crown prince of an alien race with a technological level that far exceeds that of the earth. Its value is almost unimaginable. They have never thought that Thor is just a fool. Technology? He

Understand Hammer Technology.

"Now, the Asgardians are standing outside asking for an explanation, otherwise they will use their own methods to solve the problem..."

"Isn't this simple? It's nothing more than finding a few scapegoats. As long as there are enough people and the superficial status is slightly higher, the other party can always be satisfied." Pierce still wrote lightly: "Or, you plan to

Hand me over?"

He didn't believe that Nick Fury would hand him over.

Nick Fury was speechless because of the rebuke. If it were another person, he would have pushed the culprit out and handed it over to the Asgardians. But Pierce was different, no matter if the other person was his friend for many years

, or because of his former boss, it is impossible for him to push people out, let alone Pierce, the former director of SHIELD, who still holds many secrets within the agency.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is specifically designed to defend forces like aliens. If you hand over Pierce to the other party, wouldn't it mean that you are handing over the secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D. to the other party?

After giving him a fierce look, Nick Fury finally chose to walk away.

Who makes him the director? If someone in the bureau gets into trouble, he will naturally step in to wipe the mess.

After Nick Fury left, Agent Sitwell finally breathed a sigh of relief. After closing the door, he said with some confusion: "But sir, why do we want to arrest that man? We are still in such a hurry."

He understood arresting people, but after the Asgardians came, they specially sent people to get a fake one out, which he didn't quite understand.

"You don't understand." Pierce shook his head and looked out the window again, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes. "Do you know the Red Skull?"

"Red Skull?" Sitwell was shocked. "Is the Red Skull you are talking about the adult?"

The Red Skull in Pierce's mouth is naturally Schmidt, Captain America's old enemy and the culprit who caused him to be frozen for many years.

As the mastermind behind the terrorist attacks in Japan, Schmidt caused countless bloody storms on the European battlefields in the early days of World War II. It can be said that the organization Hydra is as famous as it is today, largely due to the Red Skull and the United States.

The two captains.

Of course, many people have heard of the name of the Red Skull before joining Hydra, and even regard the existence of the Red Skull as an idol--before they ascend to high positions.

This also brings about a very serious problem. Just like an ancient Eastern country, European and American countries also have the problem of worshiping antiquity. That is, the older things are, the more powerful they must be.

Just like a thousand-year-old vampire must be more powerful than one that is only a few hundred years old, or a legendary artifact must be stronger than one made by later generations. This is reflected in many European and American literary or film and television works, and Marvel naturally also

No exception.

Many of the bosses in Hydra began to disdain the Red Skull, thinking that he was just a simple loser. However, no matter how disapproving he was, they could not live up to his illustrious reputation.

How many people grew up listening to the story between him and Captain America? This in itself is a strong form of publicity. In addition, the Red Skull has been dead for many years, and the bosses in Hydra don’t mind more publicity.

Promote his story.

This brings about a problem. Under the influence of Chonggu, many people are also interested in the research of the Red Skull. They feel that the things that such a powerful figure as the Red Skull is researching must be very powerful, at least.

It has research value.

The Red Skull had strong ambitions back then, largely because he discovered the Cosmic Cube. What is the Cosmic Cube? It is a treasure hidden on earth by the god-king Odin in Norse mythology.

Considering the powerful power Red Skull showed after possessing the Cosmic Cube, many people continued to study his ideas after his death.

After decades of research, the existence of Asgard is no secret to some people, including Pierce.

After discovering that the stupid guy in New York was probably an Asgardian, how could Pierce let him go? It was simply the most basic courtesy to send someone to arrest him.

The only thing he didn't expect was that there was an accident during the operation and that the other party was the crown prince of Asgard.

"Fortunately, those two idiots didn't leak the secret, otherwise there would be some real trouble."

"Do you want them to keep their mouths shut forever?" Agent Sitwell leaned forward slightly and asked.

"Don't do it for the time being. We can't arouse the suspicion of Nick Fury and others. Let's let the two of them live first. After the limelight has passed, we can deal with them secretly."

As mentioned before, Hydra accounts for half of S.H.I.E.L.D., and with their help covering it up, no matter what they do, it will be difficult for Nick Fury to detect it.

On the other hand, after a series of efforts, Natasha finally flew the plane back to New York. Not long after getting off the plane, Yan Shao sent him a message.
