New York, Long Island.

In a sprawling manor, the leader of the Malik family, Gideon Malik, is standing in his study, quietly looking at the view of the courtyard outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The sun shines on the window, refracting the light on a document on the desk, shimmering white.

bang bang...

The knock on the door suddenly sounded, calling his thoughts back from the memory of decades ago.

"Come in."

Turning around, Gideon Malik saw his daughter, Stephanie.

"Father, Lord Pierce is here..."

Nodding slightly, Gideon Malik waved his hand and said, "Please come over."

"OK."

A moment later, Alexander Pierce, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and now a member of the World Security Council, sat opposite Malik.

After tapping on the documents on the desk, Malik asked Pierce, "How's your investigation going?"

Pierce pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "It's basically done."

Malik picked up the whisky on the table and took a sip. "Tell me, can we control this Avengers plan?"

Pierce frowned, the folds on his face deepened a bit:

"It's very unfortunate that after my contact with the rest of the roster, I don't think it's going to be easy for us to gain control of this team."

Hearing this sentence, Malik couldn't help looking up at Pierce and asked, "Why?"

"In the primary list submitted by Fury, except for Tony Stark, an uncontrollable billionaire, the other three are all Fury's cronies..."

Malik interrupted slightly: "You mean, Scavenger, Black Widow, and Hawkeye?"

"That's right!" Pierce nodded slightly and continued: "These three, the most loyal to Fury, are Hawkeye."

"He was recruited by Fury and joined SHIELD a long time ago. Now he is one of Fury's confidants. It is obviously futile to pull him into our camp!"

"What about the other two?" Malik frowned and continued to ask: "I have seen the files of these two people. They both joined S.H.I.E.L.D. last year, and their loyalty to Fury should not be too great. high."

"Unfortunately, the difficulty of recruiting these two is also very high."

Facing Malik's slightly puzzled gaze, Pierce had to continue to explain: "Leon Coulson, the "scavenger", is the nephew of Phil Coulson, Phil Coulson, a confidant of Fury."

"Although he only joined S.H.I.E.L.D. not long ago, in just half a year, he was promoted from a fourth-level agent to a sixth-level agent."

"Fury is very optimistic about him. This is a well-known secret throughout S.H.I.E.L.D."

Pierce, who felt a little dry, also picked up the whisky on the table, took a sip, and then said:

"As for "Black Widow", according to my investigation, the reason why she defected from the Red House and joined S.H.I.E.L.D. is largely because of Leon Coulson."

"The relationship between the two does not seem to be easy."

Pierce's explanation made it easy for Malik to come to a conclusion: "So, is this Leon Coulson a breakthrough for us to control this team..."

At this time, Pierce suddenly said, interrupting Malik's thoughts:

"In addition to the Avengers plan, I have some interesting news that I want to share with you."

Malik stared at Pierce with those turbid eyes that were full of light, and asked, "What is it?"

"I found the outsider who infiltrated Roxon's underground facility and stole all the research data."

Malik frowned, and immediately thought of something, and then asked: "You mean,

This person, in SHIELD? "

"That's right, that person is exactly..."

"Lion Coulson!"

For Pierce, who has a tenth-level authority, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. is transparent!

No matter it is any classified mission, as long as it is on record, he can consult it.

Even if Fury personally listed any secrets in Level 10...

Hearing this news, Malik was a little unexpected.

However, this is also good news.

Although the cooperation with Roxon was handed over to Baron Straker.

However, because this plan is too important, it is of great significance to Hydra's great cause of ruling the world.

Now that the foreign invader has been found, then he must pay the price!

After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Malik raised his head, looked at Pierce, and said in a hoarse voice:

"In this case, we have only one choice for this Leon Coulson..."

At this moment, Malik's tone suddenly became murderous:

"Anything that stands in the way of our great cause must die!"

Following Malik's voice, a gust of autumn wind suddenly blew in the courtyard, taking away a yellowed leaf from the tree.

This slowly falling dead leaf seems to herald something...

. . .

Returning to his residence in New York from Malik Manor, Pierce kept calling himself the number one subordinate of S.H.I.E.L.D. in front of him.

"Sir, what do you need me to do?"

Looking at John Garrett who was standing in front of him with his hands on his back, Pierce picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. After feeling that his throat was not so dry, he said in a low voice:

"I need you to get rid of Leon Coulson!"

John Garrett didn't ask why, but thought for a while, and asked in a slightly hesitant tone, "Do you need me to wake him up?"

"No!" The tone rose sharply, and Pierce's tone carried an unquestionable meaning: "His existence cannot be revealed yet. I need you to find other means, preferably no one can know, that is what we did …”

John Garrett nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, he suggested:

"Sir, I have received news that recently a New York killer group called "Hands and Clubs" is hunting for a young brown-haired man. I have seen the portrait and it seems to be very similar to Leon Coulson."

"Maybe, we can start from here..."

Pierce nodded slightly, "Well, I'll leave this to you."

"Yes!"

Watching his subordinates leave, Pierce came to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire New York night. He couldn't help closing his eyes and said softly, "In order to make this world a better place, some small sacrifices are nothing..."
