Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

For an old agent, maintaining a good life and rest is very important.

This not only makes people energetic, but also saves the agents from a lot of unnecessary troubles. For example, Alexander Pierce, 67 years old this year, the current chair of the International Security Council and the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., in this elderly The age still maintains the work and rest habits of his youth.

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

This gray-haired but energetic old man sat in Fury’s office. The latter’s always indifferent face also showed a rare smile. He put his hands on the table and looked at his old leader. .

"Go ahead, Pierce, is it a business or a private matter?"

Thirty years ago, when Fury was only a Level 6 agent of SHIELD, Alexander Pierce was already a high-level leader of SHIELD. He was uniquely aware of Fury's potential and resisted public opinion. Put him in a very important position.

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

"Of course, if 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."

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 cigarettes. This is not good. Fury, if you are in the lurking state, it will expose your position. , But you don’t need to go out to work anymore. Therefore, the good things I treasure, always share with good friends."

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

"You didn't say that a few days ago. I still remember two days ago, you angrily pointed me in the face and called me a traitor."

"Oh, my goodness, stop mentioning that."

With an expression of regret and disgust on Pierce's face, he waved his hand:

"Who would have thought that Sam, who has served S.H.I.E.L.D. for 27 years, would actually be a Hydra person. He deceived me for 27 years and almost made a big mistake. Damn it, it's disgusting! I go out in the morning every day. After running, there were 7 agents behind him. Speaking of, Fury, why our young agent's basic skills are so poor that I can find out 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 the source of the weapon projection instruction on the previous Sky Mothership, which was issued by this senior agent in the name of Pierce. And he hid it well, even provoking a confrontation between Pierce and Fury.

Older people will always subconsciously defend the people around them, but after the final result came out, Pierce looked ugly and accepted the cruel reality that his assistant was a Hydra agent, and offered to resign, accepting up to 5 Month’s quarantine investigation.

This result actually made Fury a sigh of relief. Although he issued the instructions to investigate Pierce, he was unwilling to believe that the veteran who followed the legendary agent Carter Page to establish S.H.I.E.L.D. would be Hydra. Undercover.

Of course, we all know what the truth is, but unfortunately we can’t break the fourth wall and tell poor Fury, right?

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

Fury smiled:

"Well, Pierce, you and I know that this investigation is just to silence those in Congress, and I don’t want you to be stained on your back. Now let’s talk about official business. Those who can work you, it must be Very troublesome thing."

"The first thing is 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, his seriousness came from a certain aura. He looked at Fury:

"The last document I dealt with before leaving office was the New York City Hall requesting S.H.I.E.L.D. to cooperate with the New York Police Department, FBI and other departments to jointly eliminate other forces that are causing the current chaos in New York, including but not limited to the nine heads. Snakes, Ten Rings Gang, Devil Gang and other mutant radical organizations and those "superheroes" who are unwilling to obey the law."

When he said the last few words, Pierce smiled disdainfully, and his fingers flicked on the table in front of him:

"The conflict between the Devil Gang and the Ten Commandments Gang half a month ago, and those things more distant ago, the Hell's Kitchen, etc., have caused citizens to question the credibility of the government, especially after the new president takes office, we have to show our own power."

"I know you have a secret agreement with the Devil Gang, Fury."

Pierce rubbed his chin and said in a low voice: "I also know that our current focus is to deal with the corruption of Hydra inside 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 Assign a part of the force to participate in it."

Fury looked awkward. After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"The Ten Rings Gang’s power in New York is dead in name. Let’s leave it alone. These guys are more accustomed to hiding in the dark, so if you want to deal with it, it’s the Devil Gang, right? But it’s the hardest bone to chew. Their leader, Cyber ​​Hawke, is a person who does not eat hard and soft, and also serves as another identity, the leader of the mutants. If he is forced to expel, I am worried that he will recklessly cause an unprecedented mutation. NPC riots."

"So this is the second reason I came."

Pierce took out a document from his carrying bag and put 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 this situation, I think it is very useful to you."

Ferry received his hand and only glanced at it, the one eye was wide.

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

Faced with Ferry’s questioning, Pierce spread his hands:

"The mutants have caused such a big thing in Mexico, and the leaders of the world are not blind. Under the current situation, we certainly cannot start a war against Mexico. That will only make the mutants who already have a tendency to unite more Unity, so cutting the meat with a soft knife is a better way."

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

Pierce squinted his eyes:

"Compared with Bo Hawke, Professor Charles is a better partner, isn't it? A sheep led by a lion, and a lion led by a sheep. Tsk tsk, the ancient fables have become reality today. It is ironic, I think With this thing, it won’t be difficult to convince Professor Charles, right?"

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

"Should I just drive them out of New York? Or go further?"

"No! Just expel New York!"

Pierce coughed lightly: "I have the same views as you about the current key tasks, Fury, our internal Hydra is the biggest concern. After the integration of resources is completed, the Devil will help except Cyber ​​Hawke. Besides, everything else is easy to deal with."

"Besides, pay attention to methods at work, Ferry."

The former director said in the voice of a person who came by: "When we followed Ms. Peggy to eliminate internal corruption, we did not show up in this precarious manner. You know how many S.H.I.E.L.D. employees I have received in recent months. Do you complain anonymously? I know you are doing this for the good of this country, but making such a cruel internal rivalry between us will make ordinary people very worried."

Fury was silent. Of course, he knew how the recent internal review of S.H.I.E.L.D. had caused such troubles. Even many important actions were forced to stop. The problem is that if you don’t continue, all the previous The work is done in vain.

"what do you mean"

"Let's put it another way, Fury, it's meaningless to have an internal review look like an internal review, and everyone knows it."

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

"I'm old, Fury, you will continue to lead S.H.I.E.L.D. for a long time in the future. Your reputation can't be ruined just like that. So leave it to me and let your The level agent cooperates with me. You will select all the personnel involved. If you transfer the review work underground, no one will pay attention to an old man who has resigned, right?"

"Ok"

Fury's fingers circled on the table, suspecting that anyone was an agent’s instinct, but Pierce had just passed the review, coupled with his absolute innocence, the resume of a hero of the United States, and he had followed the legendary agent Ms. Peggy The experience of eliminating corruption within the government 30 years ago.

The most important thing is that Pierce has made it very clear that all personnel will be selected by Fury himself. He is only responsible for the review of the general direction. This is enough to prevent any black-box operations. For Agent Hill’s work ability, Fury is still Very trusting.

"Well, then I will trouble you again, Pierce."

Alexander Pierce squinted his eyes, he shrugged, and said indifferently: "I have said it, I am old, and even the infinite formula can't fill my energy, so the future is destined to be young people like you. Now, everything is for our great cause. We are fire bearers walking in the dark, guarding the light of more people, and ushering in a new world in the future."

He lowered his head and said with some emotion:

"I have this consciousness a long time ago."

Twenty minutes later, Pierce walked out of Fury’s office relaxedly. As a person currently under quarantine investigation, he looked at the young agent following him and shrugged helplessly. As he walked into the elevator, He saw the iconic bald head.

The pale-faced Agent Silverett gave Pierce a wink, and the latter nodded clearly. A few minutes later, in the silent parking lot, Mr. Pierce said to the agents following him:

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

He took out his wallet and prepared to give the money. The young agent behind him hurriedly declined, and walked out to see what a joke. Although the boss is censoring, don't you see that Mr. Director welcomes him with a smile?

"Ahem"

Pierce, with only one person left, coughed. After a while, Agent Silverett walked out of the hiding place. He carried a black password box in his hand and handed it to Pierce. Agent Silverett looked a little bit painful:

"Sorry, sir, the 14 brothers I brought with me left to cover me, all of them"

"Don't mind, the necessary sacrifices are acceptable for a great cause."

Pierce opened the lockbox and saw the black steel scroll inside. He looked at Silverett: "Can you tell the authenticity?"

"Yes! Cyber ​​Hawke rummaged through almost a third of Gotham for this thing, and our traceology and cryptography experts have confirmed this, sir, do you need me to find them?"

Silverett asked for instructions, but Pierce appeared hesitant. After a while, he shook his head:

"No, Silverett, I have more important things to leave to you to do these fights and kills, just leave it to those reckless guys to do it, you go to this address tomorrow and find Mr. Daniel, he and I The same is the senior cadre of the organization, he is involved in more mysterious work, and he has something to do in the past two days."

Pierce patted Silvertte on the shoulder, increasing his voice:

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

"Yes! All for our great cause!"

Agent Silverett's face was firm. When parting, the two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents whispered in unison:

"HailHydra!!"
