For Pierce, it is not impossible to witness space teleportation, body control, and mind control magic.
In addition, once William gets started, he can use the Cosmic Cube, which SHIELD has been studying for decades but has not found a way to control.
Doesn’t this mean that William’s attainments in magic are ridiculously high?
"Are you thinking that the sound of gunfire will attract your men?"
William, who was sitting on the sofa, held a wine glass, leaned on the cushions, and said with a smile, "Sorry, only we can see and hear everything just now, so".
Pointing to the blood that was already bleeding all over the floor, William warned, "Don't forget that the bullet penetrated your lower back, with two bleeding holes on the front and back.
If you don't deal with it," William glanced at his watch and continued, "In about one minute, you will feel cold, in five minutes, you will feel dizzy, and you will start to lose your consciousness. After ten minutes, I shouldn't need to talk to you anymore.
And I have to thank you sincerely, after all, only the dead can keep secrets."
"Click".
With no choice left, Pierce grabbed the jade talisman on the ground and broke it with both hands. The jade talisman was easily broken.
A green light appeared in his eyes, hit his chest, and then radiated a green light all over his body.
The two wounds that penetrated the abdomen began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You'd better stand or lie down, otherwise the wound recovery will be incomplete because the muscles and skin are squeezed by sitting."
As soon as William reminded him, Pierce reached out and grabbed the edge of the desk and stood up.
In only about five seconds, both wounds were completely healed.
I also pressed on my abdomen and found that even if I pressed hard enough to the depth of half a palm, there was no tingling sensation in the abdomen, which also means that the wound was healed both internally and externally.
"Thirty million pieces?"
As soon as his injury healed, Pierce, who had no choice but to do anything to William, could only pretend that what just happened had not happened, politely said sorry, and walked into the inner lounge.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Pierce came out after changing his clothes, sat down on the sofa opposite William, picked up the Macallan bottle and poured half a glass of whiskey.
I drank half of it in one gulp, pursed my lips and savored it for a long time, then took a big breath and said with emotion, "It's better to be alive."
"Hahaha", these words immediately made William laugh. He held the wine glass and made a toast gesture, "Here's to living."
After shaking his head and taking a sip of whiskey with William helplessly, Pierce said formally, "That thing just now is really 30 million pieces?"
William did not return directly, but asked with a smile, "Isn't it worth it?"
"Of course it's worth it for us, but for the combat elite group, 30 million US dollars is still too expensive." Pierce stopped and thought for a moment, "At this price, our SHIELD is probably only level 9 or 10."
Agents are eligible for distribution,
If it is distributed to a combat team, it won’t even take a month, but their team’s annual funds will be exhausted.”
William tapped his ear, and Sunday quickly picked out the important information about SHIELD, the field and the operations team.
"Nearly a thousand people were injured a year, and more than a hundred people died last year. No wonder the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. combat team was most severely eroded by your Hydra.
The senior members of the operation who are still alive are probably all your people."
"There's nothing surprising about this," Pierce said matter-of-factly as he drank whiskey as if he couldn't hear William's sarcasm. "It's normal for some rookies to die every year. It's rare and sad that no one is killed in battle.
With fewer people dying, we will not have the courage to ask the council for funds.
These guys who only know how to sit in the office and look at the data will definitely cut SHIELD's already insufficient funding when they find that casualties have decreased.
And only those who have truly experienced life and death can transform into elites.
Newbies who have experienced several missions of rebirth and death are most likely to be confused for a period of time, and the passion in their hearts will be wiped out by the thought of living, so it will not be difficult to win them over."
"Okay, okay", tapping his fingers on the wine glass, William said to get out of Pierce's mind, "Anyway, the person who died was not mine, and SHIELD has nothing to do with me, so don't try to use this to gain sympathy.
And even if the price of the self-healing charm is reduced to three million US dollars, the World Security Council will not agree to give it to combatants.
Also, what do you think this is?"
He took out a self-healing charm again and gave it to Pierce on the opposite side. "Not only is this thing extremely difficult to make, but the materials used to make it are becoming less and less."
"What's so difficult about this?" Pierce frowned and said, "Even if the jade mine resources begin to be exhausted, the amount that has been mined before is not small."
"Sorry, I suggest you take the used jade and check it. If you check it, you will know that it is not a product of Blue Star, but an alien ore."
"Alien product?"
Pierce quickly stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, raised the jade charm in his hand and looked at the sun.
The first thing that catches the eye is a green light in the milky white jade, which is shining and flowing slowly like a liquid.
"How about giving you five of these self-healing talismans every year as a reward for the Universe Rubik's Cube?"
Pierce, who was excitedly exploring the inside of the self-healing talisman, suddenly heard William's words, and then turned to look at William in disbelief.
Pointing at him with trembling fingers, he said, "William Devonshire, you are the most shameless person I have ever seen."
"Damn it, old man, why am I so shameless? This is a treasure that can save you five times a year. You don't even need five to save yourself.
But what a favor it would be to give it to other people," William said excitedly, "Saving someone's life is a greater favor than anything else.
Moreover, as long as you still have the self-healing charm in your hand, will those who have been saved by you and those who know about it have a better attitude towards you in the future?
After all, you have personally experienced how wonderful it is to die once and then live again."
"Haha", Pierce sat back on the sofa, picked up the wine glass and said, "Then should I thank you for shooting me and letting me experience a different life?"
"That's not necessary. In this case, I should apologize, even though I think it was just an accident."
"Fuck you, accident," Pierce mocked, enduring the anger of being shot, "Don't forget, no matter how precious this thing is, it still has a price.
Thirty million coins each, hey, five coins a year is only 150 million US dollars, and only 1.5 billion US dollars in ten years.
William shameless is no longer enough to describe you, maybe we should call you,,,"
"Shut up".
Being stared at by William with a frown, Pierce felt aggrieved and could only choke on the words that came to his mouth.
At this moment, he finally realized that when one's personal strength reaches a certain level, one can often do whatever one wants.
