Alexander Pierce sat helplessly in his office, accepting questions from five members of the World Security Council. Originally this was just a discussion meeting to distribute the technology left by Chitauri soldiers, although the distribution of alien technology was being discussed.
The directors were a little unhappy at that time, but this was nothing to Alexander Pierce. He had dealt with this kind of situation much better, and he believed that it could lead to the final result he wanted.
However, Ms. Holly, the British director, seems to be extremely dissatisfied with SHIELD's actions. The World Security Council has information about all Avengers members, but it has missed only one - the information about the legendary knight of King Arthur.
Whether it is the World Security Council or SHIELD, there is no information about Knight. In view of his performance in New York, all council members believe that he is a terrifying weapon comparable to a nuclear bomb, and SHIELD should fulfill its supervisory duties.
Instead of letting a clueless guy run around outside.
Therefore, when Ms. Hawley used this as an excuse to question Alexander Pierce, the chairman of the board could not even refute. Other directors seemed to have seen the opportunity and started to reduce the share of alien weapons and research opportunities allocated to the United States.
After Alexander Pierce finally stabilized the situation, promised to give Ms. Holly an explanation and delayed the meeting, he turned off the meeting projection, sat in his office chair extremely depressed, and poured himself a glass of wine.
It's not that S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have information about Salomon Damonet, but that information is no different from that of ordinary people. It's just an ordinary citizen's file. No one knows what's under Salomon's unremarkable file.
What's the trick? SHIELD thinks they know nothing about this super-powered person's name, abilities, personality, family situation, and assets. Alexander Pierce thinks that only Nick Fury in SHIELD knows something about it.
Because according to Agent Sylvester on the Helicarrier, Nick Fury had communicated with the knight who took off his mask, but Pierce speculated that Nick Fury might not know much, otherwise the two of them had been colleagues for many years.
relationship, it was impossible for Nick Fury not to tell him any basic information.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, which made his back suddenly straighten: It is very possible that Nick Fury knew the knight very well, but he just didn't tell others. He regarded this information as a trump card, and he was hiding it.
His own little secret - why did he do this?
Alexander Pierce decided to test it out.
In fact, the situation was not as bad as Pierce imagined. Nick Fury did want to tell him some of Salomon's information, but the information disappeared as soon as it reached his lips, just like a glass of water poured into the desert.
Part of the memory made a sizzling sound and then turned into water vapor and disappeared, and could only be recalled slowly afterwards. Nick Fury thought of the contract. He was very sure that this was the power of magic. He was being bound by the contract and could say anything.
No - then he thought about the agents under his command. Apart from Agent Coulson, who had already died, only Agent Romanoff and Salomon Damonet had performed missions together.
But Agent Romanoff said that she had also signed a contract and could not provide help.
"Monther F*uck! This little bastard really won't leave any loopholes for me to take advantage of!" Nick Fury slapped the table angrily, then sighed and fell on the chair. When Alexander Pierce summoned him
, he still had a depressed expression on his face.
The President of the World Security Council poured Nick Fury a glass of wine, and then casually mentioned Project Insight to see Nick Fury's reaction. The director of SHIELD had no objection to the plan, and he even wanted to
To speed up the progress, Nick Fury also believes that everything cannot be left to the Avengers to solve, SHIELD must take the dominant position. But this is not what Alexander Pierce wants to see. He knows that Nick Fury
As an agent, lying is not a difficulty for him.
"You have to tell me something. Nick. The World Security Council is very dissatisfied with you concealing information about an Avenger - let me call him an Avenger. Those directors said even more unpleasant things." Pierce said with a smile, "Give them
This information is like throwing out a bone without flesh, making them feel that their power has been applied, making them think that their management has played a role. Nick, say something, don't be too stingy."
"I don't need to listen to know what they are talking about. They are nothing more than 'thugs in strange costumes' and 'unorganized and undisciplined armed groups.' These words were mentioned by politicians when the Chitauri were wiped out. But so what?
, before our plan is completed, if there is another alien invasion, we still need the Avengers." Nick Fury avoided Pierce's metaphor and began to mock those politicians, "I didn't see them.
Stand up when aliens invade. Especially Director Malik, who has not yet been held accountable for launching a nuclear bomb."
"Almost there, Nick. Have you found the missing nuclear bomb?" The question asked by Alexander Pierce is what the US government is most concerned about. No country can sleep peacefully after losing a nuclear weapon. In order to find
That nuclear bomb, the FBI, the CIA and the National Security Agency all took action - it is absolutely impossible for a nuclear bomb to disappear out of thin air, it is just a trick.
"Found it." When he mentioned this, Nick Fury became even more dizzy. Salomon Damonet did return the nuclear bomb, but the handover location was a bit bad. The director of SHIELD never expected that,
Salomon would actually hide a nuclear bomb in the basement of the Pentagon. In other words, if any director pressed the nuclear bomb button one more time, the Pentagon would be blown up!
"Is the nuclear bomb safe?"
"Yes." Nick Fury thought for a while, and he felt that he could ignore the screwdriver scratches all over the warhead, because those marks looked very much like someone trying to disassemble the nuclear warhead. He could use his toes to think who that person was.
, Salomon Damonet did not make him worry at all. He felt that there was no need to organize this information highway, otherwise the politicians would jump up like frightened hens.
Thinking of this, Nick Fury sighed and drank another drink for himself.
"Very good, with that nuclear bomb, the impeachment of Director Malik can begin." Pierce nodded. If the nuclear bomb disappears, it means that this matter cannot be solved with nuclear bombs, Gideon Malik
His judgment was correct. In this case, the responsibility for launching the nuclear bomb cannot be placed on Gideon Malik. Pierce has always looked down on these traditional Hydra families. He believes that these families have been obsessed with ancient legends and should have been eliminated long ago.
He was very happy to be able to squeeze Malik out of the council.
"But that's not enough, Nick," Pierce said. "The Council will not be satisfied with this."
"What do you think the nuclear bomb suddenly disappeared like?" Although Nick Fury cannot directly tell the information about Salomon and magic, he can use words to guide others to think for themselves. Just like now, he can use words to guide
My boss discovers the truth.
"magic?"
Nick Fury shook his head.
"If it's not a deception, is it a group hallucination?" Pierce asked.
"No." The director of SHIELD denied again.
Pierce shrugged, "What else could it be? It can't be magic, right?"
Nick Fury was silent and did not respond.
"Okay." Alexander Pierce took a deep breath, "Are you sure?"
"One hundred percent, including the alien creatures that appeared in the attack on the police station in the town of Orogrande..."
"Why didn't you tell me in advance, Nick? You knew how passive I would be in front of the council without this information!"
"Remember what the devil is good at, Pierce?"
"Deception...contract?"
"Yes, I signed the contract."
"Then can you tell his name?"
"No, I tried. When you realize it's magic, the name becomes unpronounceable."
Pierce asked anxiously, "Your agents also fought alongside him. Tell me, did they sign a contract?"
"have."
"Shit! Has everyone in this world signed a contract? How else can I know his information?"
"You can only talk to him, Pierce." Nick Fury drank the wine in his glass and stood up from his chair, "But you have to prepare a bundle of grass in advance."
