Chapter 148: Furious Fury

"The latest news we just received is that our branch in New York seems to have been attacked by an unknown chemical weapon, and all members remaining at the base were killed."

"Their bodies had turned into mummies and dry bones when they were found, and this was only a few hours at most after their accident."

"What's even more serious is that the base of the New York branch has also been contaminated by unknown pollution. Not only all the electronic equipment has been scrapped, but even the land in the base has been corroded, becoming like a swamp, full of decay... ···”

"The only good news is that the biological and chemical weapons seem to have a limited range and have not spread. The hidden sentries we deployed outside the base have not been hit by the chemical weapons. Of course, they have also been attacked by unknown enemies. Cleaning, so far, we have not found any living..."

"Bang!!!"

Before the long-legged female secretary had finished speaking, she had just taken a bottle of ice-cold whiskey from the refrigerator in the car and poured herself a glass. Pierce, who was about to take a sip of wine to calm down his shock, smashed the wine glass in his hand with a bang. .

The sexy long-legged female secretary allowed the flying glass shards to scratch her stockings, leaving a bloodstain on her long, round and straight legs, but her expression remained unchanged.

She looked at the furious Pierce, leaned over and took out a wine glass again, then used tweezers to pick out a few ice cubes from the mini-refrigerator and put them into the wine glass. Then she took another bottle of the wine Pierce drank most and shook it gently. , and finally poured into the wine glass.

"Minister, your wine."

Pierce, who was originally furious, slowly calmed down his anger due to the smooth and smooth movements of the female secretary.

He once again looked like he was unfazed by changes.

He took the slightly cold wine glass from the female secretary's hand, put it in his mouth and took a sip.

Let the cold and mellow wine flow across the tip of your tongue and pour into your heart.

Pierce quickly regained his composure under the cold stimulation.

Being able to grow and develop Hydra, which should have been exterminated by SHIELD, under the eyes of the enemy, there is no doubt about Pierce's ability and power.

At that moment, he was only angered by a series of bad news.

After the rage passed, Pierce quickly regained his composure and returned to an extremely rational state.

After a long time, Pierce spoke again: "I remember Frank Grillo (Crossbones) and the Winter Soldier should be going to deal with the clown in Hell's Kitchen today and try to find and take back the missing Iron Overlord's head!"

"Yes, Minister!"

"So, the two of them failed their mission and were killed by the clown in Hell's Kitchen."

"Yes, Minister, Mr. Sitwell discovered the bodies of Frank Grillo and the team members he led not long ago at the clown's residence. Then when he went to deal with the escaped clown, he was shot Killed halfway, and the final facts proved that the warehouse Mr. Sitwell wanted to rush to was another trap, and that trap ruined at least three of our elite teams..."

Upon hearing this, Pierce narrowed his eyes and asked, "So Sitwell's death was also caused by that clown?"

The female secretary shook her head: "No, after analysis by the people in the Information Office, they believe that the person who killed Mr. Sitwell should be someone else, not the clown himself, but more likely his companions."

"Why?"

"Although the warehouse that Mr. Sitwell rushed to was a trap, before Sitwell rushed there, the clown was indeed in the warehouse, had a fierce conflict with Kingpin's men, and killed He captured dozens of Jin Bin's men. If he hadn't confirmed that the other party was in that warehouse, Sitwell would not have rushed there directly, otherwise he would have been ambushed by the other party. Afterwards, the people from the Information Department. After analysis, given the distance between that warehouse and Sitwell's sniper attack, it was impossible for the clown to arrive so quickly, so..."

"So the clown has a companion." After sneering, Pierce suddenly paused and frowned slightly, "Do you think that if the clown has a companion, then what happened to the New York branch was also done by the other party? , revenge from them?”

The female secretary raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

"This possibility is not ruled out, but... how did they accurately find the location of our New York branch in such a short period of time, and launch such a powerful attack in such a short period of time? "

this time period.

Hydra is still dormant.

Although they secretly expanded their power to all parts of the world, controlled countless unknown connections and forces, and became a veritable behemoth, on the surface their information was still kept top secret.

It can be said that confidentiality work has been achieved to the extreme.

Otherwise, with Nick Fury’s suspicious character.

Their team has been lurking in SHIELD for decades, how could they not be discovered?

"Who knows? Forced questioning, interrogation, hypnosis, even electronic tracking... There are many ways to find out the location of the New York branch. After all, most of the people we sent to encircle and suppress the clown in the morning came from Just transfer out of the New York branch.”

"However, none of this is important anymore..."

"Now that you know who your opponent is, just do everything you can to destroy him and everything related to him."

After lightly laughing, Pierce's eyes flashed with endless coldness, and he swallowed the cold wine in his hand in one gulp.

"Can······"

The female secretary hesitated and said, "What if we find the wrong person?"

"Then just keep looking. It's just the difference between finding it earlier and finding it later. Even if the clown didn't do what happened in the New York branch, Frank Grillo's death and Sitwell's death are inseparable from him. . He had to die after killing so many of us."

"I understand what you mean..."

At this moment, Pierce said again: "By the way, remember to have someone report this matter to Director Fury. Frank Grillo and Sitwell devoted their lives to the cause of Hydra. We can't let them either." The family is heartbroken, and the compensation they deserve must not be missed. Remember to ask Director Fury to sign the pension as soon as possible. After all, Frank Grillo and the others are official agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The female secretary was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then her expressionless face twitched slightly.

Secretary Pierce is right, Frank Grillo and Sitwell are actually SHIELD agents in their apparent identities.

Even the people they brought had a layer of S.H.I.E.L.D. identity attached to them.

Even this operation was registered with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now that they're "killed in the line of duty," SHIELD will of course have to pay a generous death benefit.

The death benefits for dozens of elite agents are astronomical.

When she thought of the stingy Director Nick Fury, who paid sky-high compensation for the fallen members of Hydra, her delicate face couldn't help but bring out a smile.

"As you command, Mr. Minister."

It didn't take long.

Wearing a windbreaker, Nick Fury rushed back to the Federation from Europe. He had just gotten off the plane, and before he even had time to return to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Tri-Wing Building, Nick Fury heard a piece of bad news that made him furious.

"Fake········"

Looking at the level three agent in front of him who looked a little trembling because he was angry.

Nick Fryna said solemnly: "Why are there so many casualties in the New York branch?"

The third-level agent in charge of the report said: "Agent Frank's team was killed during the execution of the mission, and Agent Sitwell and the others encountered an ambush and trap when they went to provide support, so... ····”

Before Nick Fury's face became darker and darker, the agent in charge of the report quickly said: "Director, the mission that Agent Frank and the others carried out was your personal consent..."

Nick Fury's breath hitched when he heard this.

In fact, the workaholic Nick Fury actually agreed to dozens of task instructions from the Federation remotely during meetings in Europe, and even issued several tasks in person.

If he remembered correctly.

Agent Frank went to Hell's Kitchen to try to get the Iron Overlord's head from the clown, and he passed it himself.

after all.

S.H.I.E.L.D., which successfully snatched the body of Iron Overlord, has basically restored the model of the invincible Iron Overlord. It only needs some of the most critical technical core to turn the war weapon that appeared on the streets of New York into S.H.I.E.L.D. It was reproduced.

In that case, after discovering that the mysterious clown who took away the Iron Overlord's head appeared in Hell's Kitchen, Nick Fury immediately agreed to the application of the scientific madmen in the research department to ask for the Iron Overlord's head, and then sent Frank and the others to Hell's Kitchen to execute it. Task.

But who would have thought.

This mission caused so many casualties.

Altogether, fifty or sixty Agents died, directly putting SHIELD's New York branch into a state of downtime with a severe shortage of personnel.

And the aftermath of the death of Agents No. 50 and 60 is even more troublesome.

The death compensation to be signed alone is an astronomical sum.

And for all of this, he, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who signed the mission order, must take the blame.

The thought of this.

Nick Fury's face couldn't be darker.

The classic "Fake" blurted out again.

"suck······"

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the emotions in his heart, Nick Freihan said: "If something like this happened, why didn't you tell me as soon as possible."

The agent glanced at his director with some fear upon hearing this, and then said: "Director, you have ordered that you need to take a good rest after the meeting..."

During the time in Europe, it was so that SHIELD could better carry out its tasks locally.

At the multinational meeting, Nick Fury argued hard, and the meeting alone lasted for several days, and he was able to reasonably obtain a lot of law enforcement conveniences for SHIELD.

In private, Nick Fury spent a lot of energy and used various means to open up those relationships so that the power he fought for at the meeting would not become empty talk.

Nick Fury, who had spent a lot of energy on this, just wanted to have a good sleep when he boarded the special plane to the Federation. For this reason, he told the accompanying agents not to speak unless it was an emergency. Disturb him.

After recalling what he had said, Nick Fury directly interrupted: "What about Frank Grillo and their mission goals this time? So many people have died, don't tell me that the clown has nothing to do."

"That clown...he's missing."

"What did you say?"

He killed so many of his men and got him into such a big trouble.

But he told him that the culprit of this incident was missing, which was strange for Nick Fury to accept.

Facing Nick Fury, whose voice suddenly rose an octave, the level 3 agent opposite him who was reporting on the work felt miserable.

[What evil have I done! With great difficulty, he was transferred from a combat position to a civilian position through connections. On his first day in office, he was unfortunately forced to do such a reporting job. 】

If Pepper were here, she would find that this Level 3 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in a suit was the same S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who drove her all the way through the streets of New York and almost died with her at the hands of the Iron Overlord.

After taking a deep breath, the SHIELD agent said tremblingly: "The commander has mobilized the SHIELD satellite to urgently locate and search for the clown. Once the clown appears, we will capture him soon." whereabouts."

Once the other party is determined to hide and not appear under the satellite lens, how long will it take to find the clown based on satellite positioning alone?

Not to mention that if the other party disguises himself and changes his image drastically, it may be unknown whether he can still be found with the help of the satellite's automatic identification system.

Thinking of this, Nick Fury immediately ordered: "Immediately dispatch a group of elite agents from other states to New York, and then ask the technical department to find clues about the clown as soon as possible. By the way, send me all the current agents in the New York branch. I can’t believe that so many people still can’t find any clues.”

Having said this, he seemed to remember the powerful force of the clown. Nick Fury paused and said: "Order Agent Clint Barton to come to New York immediately."

"yes!"

The agent next to Nick Fury immediately took the order and turned around and left impatiently.

He didn't want to stay here and be affected by Nick Fury's wrath. He was just an agent who had already laid down and wanted to wait for death. There was no need to bear the director's wrath.
