Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

For an old spy, it is very important to maintain a good life and rest.

This will not only make people energetic, but also avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles for the agents. For example, Alexander Pierce, who is 67 years old this year, is currently the host of the International Security Council and the former director of SHIELD. Age still maintains the work and rest habits of his youth.

"Fury, I have something to tell you today."

This gray-haired, but hale and hearty old man sat in Fury's office. A rare smile appeared on the latter's always indifferent face. He put his hands on the table and looked at his old leader. .

"Tell me, Pierce, is it business or private?"

30 years ago, when Fury was only a level 6 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce was already a senior leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. It placed him in a very important position.

Through this kind of support and self-struggle, Fury finally became the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Although for a senior agent, personal feelings are fatal at certain moments, as long as he is a human being, he cannot escape the shackles of such feelings , and the same goes for Fury.

"Of course it's a business matter... If it's a private matter, I will ask you to go to the bar after you get off work, and I will find two chicks to accompany you for drinks."

Pierce laughed, took out a box of quaint cigars from his arms, and threw it to Fury: "I heard that you have recently become addicted to smoking, this is not good, Fury, if you are lurking, this will reveal your position , but you don't need to go out to work now, so I always share the good things I treasure with my good friends."

Fury threw the cigar into the drawer unceremoniously, he shrugged:

"That's not what you said a few days ago. I still remember that two days ago, you pointed at my face angrily and called me a traitor."

"Oh, my God, don't bring that up again."

With a remorseful and disgusted expression on Pierce's face, he waved his hand:

"Who would have thought that old Sam, who has served S.H.I.E.L.D. for 27 years, would actually be a Hydra man. He lied to me for 27 years and almost made a big mistake. Damn it, it's disgusting! I go out every morning now Running, followed by 7 agents, speaking of it, Fury, why our young agents' basic skills are so poor that I can spot it at a glance."

Old Sam is Pierce's assistant, a senior civilian agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. During the investigation a few days ago, Agent Hill determined that the source of the command to project the weapon from the Helicarrier was the senior agent who issued it in the name of Pierce. And he hid it well, and even provoked a confrontation between Pierce and Fury.

Older people always subconsciously protect the people around them, but after the final result came out, Pierce accepted the cruel reality that his assistant was a Hydra agent with an ugly face, and offered to resign, accepting up to 5 Monthly quarantine survey.

This result actually made Fury feel relieved. Although he issued the order to investigate Pierce, he was unwilling to believe that the veteran who followed the legendary agent Ms. Carter Page to establish SHIELD would be Hydra. undercover.

Of course, we all know what the truth is, but there's no way we can break the fourth wall and tell poor Fury, can we?

"Actually, I sent 8 of them, and finally one of them passed the level, right?"

Fury smiled:

"Okay, Pierce, you and I both know that this investigation is just to stop the mouths of those people in Congress, and I don't want you to be stained on your back, so let's talk about business now, the one who can work for you must be Very troublesome thing."

"First thing, about the current situation in New York."

Pierce's expression became serious. As a person who has been in a high position for a long time, he was serious and had a certain momentum. He looked at Fury:

"Before I left office, the last document I dealt with was the New York City Hall's request for SHIELD to cooperate with the New York Police Department, FBI and other departments to jointly eliminate other forces that caused the current chaos in New York, including but not limited to nine Snakes, Ten Rings, Devils, and other radical mutant groups and "superheroes" who don't want to obey the law."

When he said the last few words, Pierce showed a disdainful smile, and flicked his fingers on the table in front of him:

"The conflict between the Devil Gang and the Ten Rings Gang half a month ago, as well as those things that happened a long time ago, Hell's Kitchen, etc., these things made the public question the credibility of the government, especially after the new president took office, we have to show our own strength."

"I know you have some secret agreement with the Devil's Gang, Fury."

Pierce rubbed his chin and said in a low voice: "I also know that our current focus of work is to deal with the corruption of Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D., but this matter is related to the development of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the next few years, so I hope you can Allocate part of the force to participate in it."

Fury showed embarrassment, he thought for a moment, and asked:

"The power of the Ten Commandments Gang in New York has already existed in name only. Hydra aside, these guys are more used to hiding in the dark, so it is the Devil Gang that needs to be dealt with on the surface, right? But it happens to be the most difficult bone, Their leader, Seb Hawke, is a man who does not eat hard and soft, and also serves as another identity, the leader of mutants on the surface. If he is forcibly expelled, I am worried that he will recklessly trigger an unprecedented mutant People's riots."

"So that's the second reason I'm here."

Pierce took out a document from his carry-on bag and placed it on Fury's desk:

"The International Security Council passed a draft yesterday. Although I have stepped down, they still sent the draft to me. In the current situation, I think it is very useful for you."

Fury received it in his hand, and only took a look, and the one-eyed stared wide.

"They want to abolish the "Mutant Registration Act"? This is really strange. When did those politicians become so enlightened?"

Faced with Fury's doubts, Pierce spread his hands:

"The mutants caused such a big incident in Mexico, and the international leaders are not blind. Under the current situation, it is definitely impossible for us to launch a war against Mexico. It will only make the mutants who are already inclined to unite even more. Unity, so cutting flesh with a soft knife is a better way to deal with it."

"Without the oppression from the government, Cyber ​​Hawk's "self-preservation" spirit can only be a dead letter. As he said, in fact, what most mutants want is a quiet life, and I think , it is better for the government to complete this mission.”

Pierce narrowed his eyes:

"Professor Charles is a much better partner, isn't he? A sheep led by a lion, and a lion led by a sheep, tsk tsk, the irony of the old fable coming true today, I think With this stuff around, it won't be hard to convince Professor Charles, will it?"

Fury nodded, but as the leader of an intelligence and operations organization, he has always considered issues comprehensively. After more than ten seconds of silence, he asked:

"Just drive them out of New York? Or go further?"

"No! Just expel New York!"

Pierce coughed lightly: "About the current key work, I have the same opinion as you, Fury, our internal Hydra is the big problem. After the integration of resources is completed, the Devil Gang will be the only one except Cyber ​​Hawk. Other than that, everything else is easy to deal with.”

"Also, pay attention to the method of work, Fury."

The former director said in the tone of a person who has experienced it: "When we followed Ms. Peggy to eliminate internal corruption, we did not make this precarious picture... Do you know how many Aegis I have received in the past few months? Anonymous complaints from bureau employees? I know you are doing this for the good of the country, but making such a cruel internal struggle between the enemy and ourselves will make those ordinary people very worried."

Fury was silent. Of course, he knew how messed up the recent internal review of S.H.I.E.L.D. was, and even many important actions were forced to stop, but the problem is, if it doesn’t continue, all the previous The work is equivalent to being done for nothing.

"you mean..."

"To put it another way, Fury, internal censorship has to look like an internal censorship .

Pierce leaned on the sofa, rubbed his forehead, he pondered for a moment, then whispered:

"I'm old, Fury... You will continue to lead the S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time to come. Your reputation can't be destroyed just like that. So leave this matter to me, let me Your non-ranked agents cooperate with me, all the personnel involved are selected by you, and the review work is transferred underground... No one pays attention to an old man who has left office, does he?"

"Um..."

Fury's fingers were twirling around the table, doubting anyone was an agent's instinct, but Pierce had just cleared the scrutiny, coupled with his utter innocence, his resume as a hero of the United States, and his history with the legendary agent Ms. Peggy The experience of cleaning up corruption within the government 30 years ago.

The most important thing is that Pierce has made it very clear that all personnel are selected by Fury himself. He is only responsible for the review work in the general direction, which is enough to prevent any black box operations. Regarding the working ability of Agent Hill, Fury is still very trusting.

"Well, I'll trouble you again, Pierce."

Alexander Pierce narrowed his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "I've said it all, I'm old, and even the infinite formula can't fill my energy, so the future is destined to belong to you young people, besides Yes, everything is for our great cause, we are fire bearers walking in the dark, guarding the light of more people, ushering in a new world in the future."

He lowered his head and said with some emotion:

"I have already realized this."

Twenty minutes later, Pierce walked out of Fury's office in a relaxed suit. As a person who is still under quarantine investigation, he looked at the young agent behind him and shrugged helplessly. When he walked into the elevator, He saw that iconic bald head.

The pale-faced Agent Sylvet winked at Pierce, who nodded knowingly. A few minutes later, in the silent parking lot, Mr. Pierce said to the agent behind him:

"Young man, help me buy a box of cigars, the classic one!"

He took out his wallet and prepared to give the money, but the young agent behind him hastily declined, and strode out, what a joke, although this boss is reviewing, didn't you see Mr. Director also greeted him with a smile?

"cough cough"

Pierce, who was left alone, coughed. A moment later, Agent Sylvet came out of the hiding place, holding a black lockbox in his hand, and handed it to Pierce. Agent Sylvite had a painful expression on his face:

"I'm sorry sir, the 14 brothers I brought with me left to cover me, all of them..."

"Never mind, necessary sacrifices are acceptable for a great cause."

Pierce opened the lockbox and saw the black steel scroll inside. He looked at Sylvester: "Can you tell if it's true or not?"

"Yes! Cyber ​​Hawk has searched almost a third of Gotham for this thing, and our trace and cryptography experts have also confirmed this. Sir, do you need me to find them?"

Sylvester took the initiative to ask for instructions, but Pierce seemed a little hesitant. After a while, he shook his head:

"No, Sylvet, I have more important things to do for you... Let those reckless people do the fighting and killing. Go to this address tomorrow and find Mr. Daniel. He is a senior cadre of the organization like me, and he is involved in more mysterious work, and he has some things to do these two days."

Pierce patted Sylvester on the shoulder, aggravating his voice:

"Do well, you have proven your ability, as long as you get Daniel's approval, I can put you in a more important position."

"Yes! Everything is for our great cause!"

Agent Sylvet's face was firm. When parting, the two guys belonging to SHIELD whispered in unison:

"Hail Hydra!!"
