Chapter 478 SHIELD Is Mine, You Are Hydra
New York, a small private restaurant somewhere——
Looking at the interior of the restaurant, which had already been booked by Hydra agents and there was no one else except her and Pierce, Leni couldn't help but frown.
"Is it necessary to do this?"
Sensing the HYDRA agents hiding around her, Leni sat up straight and stared into Pierce's eyes.
Is this old man planning to threaten him?
Force yourself to submit? still……
However, Pierce remained unmoved by this, as if the Hydra agents around him were not arranged by him. He ordered a few dishes on the menu and pushed the menu in front of Leni.
"There is no way, our respected Avenger Ms. Leni Stark is too popular. If we don't do this, we may not be able to finish this dinner well today... we need some wine. "?"
Glancing at the menu on the table, Leni didn't care about the details that there was no waiter around her. She simply reached out and randomly selected a coffee and cake from the desserts.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in drinking with a bad old man like you."
Now that there are no outsiders here, Leni simply stopped pretending and exposed her true nature.
Hearing the name "Bad Old Man", Pierce smiled and was not annoyed at all. He reached out to close the menu and put it on the table. Someone would naturally come to take it away after a while.
"Forget it if you don't drink. Then let's get down to business."
The smile on his face faded, Pierce crossed his fingers on the table and said concisely:
"The bureau hopes you can hand over that skill."
Secretly saying, sure enough, Leni looked at Pierce's natural look and snorted coldly.
"In which agency? Which agency, SHIELD or Snake Shield?"
"Of course..."
Just as he was about to say the word Hydra, Pierce realized that what Leni had just asked about was not Hydra.
"What is Snake Shield?"
Leni was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then realized that Alexander Pierce had never heard of the term "Snake and Shield".
"Well...it means Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D., or Snake Shield for short."
The first time he heard this statement, Pierce repeated it twice with great interest, and finally nodded as acknowledgment of this statement.
He also felt that the name Snake Shield was a good one, as it not only drew a clear line between the Hydra faction of Strucker, but also distinguished it from the old Hydra faction led by the Red Skull.
"That's Serpent Shield."
"That won't work. Snake Shield is mine, and you are Hydra."
Not paying attention to Pierce's stunned face, Leni sat back on the chair with her arms folded.
"I have said from the beginning that I am here to replace you. Now that you will be promoted to a member of the Security Council soon, the affairs of the bureau must be handed over to me as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Pierce's face suddenly turned particularly ugly.
I thought I could take advantage of this game to make a profit, and cheated this girl a little bit, but I didn't expect that this girl would actually join my army!
But soon, the expression on the old fox Pierce's face returned to normal and he regained his amiable look.
"Okay, okay, Nick Fury won't be able to sit in that position for too long anyway. When he gets down from that position, I will leave all the affairs of the bureau to you."
She didn't expect this old guy to react like this. Leni, who was already prepared to wait for Pierce to get angry and then take the opportunity to flip the table, was embarrassed in place for a moment.
If a Hydra agent hadn't brought the meal to Leni at this time, Leni might have been stuck there for a while.
With a slight cough, Leni pretended to pick up a small spoon and stirred the coffee to disperse the latte art floating on it. Only then did Leni answer Pierce's question.
"I have provided the thermonuclear reactor technology to Nick Fury, and he has applied it to the Helicarrier."
"You know I'm not talking about that technique, but the one you used that night in port."
The corners of Pierce's mouth curled up slightly. He was very willing to see Leni being pressed closer and closer by him.
"That's even more impossible. Unless I die, I will never give him to anyone."
"Not even Hydra?"
"No one can do it!"
Unafraid of the threat in Pierce's tone, Leni put down the small spoon, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
The coffee was delicious, and the Hydra agent disguised as the barista was pretty good at it.
Pierce looked at Leni mercilessly, pondered for a long time, and finally sighed.
"Forget it, if it doesn't work, then it won't work. But since you are unwilling to hand over that technology, you can always exchange it for the Iron Soldier information in Killian's hand."
"It's really you!"
Leni's eyelids jumped when she heard the word "Iron Soldier Information" and she couldn't help but cursed in her heart.
"Hey, don't get me wrong, I didn't order the little girl under you to steal the information of Hammer Industries. We just used a secret about the Slingshot Base to exchange that information from Killian."
"exchange?"
Leni snorted coldly and gave the old man a look like "Do you think I will believe it?"
"Believe it or not, it was indeed just a transaction, and of course it also included some information about you people."
Pierce smiled and waved behind him, signaling the Hydra agents on standby to serve the food.
Hidden under the table, her fist clenched secretly, and Lainie slowly put down the coffee cup.
"So, you also leaked the location information of that plane to Killian?"
"Yes, and no."
Pierce leaned back slightly so that the "waiter" could put the dishes on him and tie his napkin for him, and then he slowly spoke under Lainie's cold eyes.
"We just provided that guy with a flight code of SHIELD 616. The person who locked the location of that plane was actually Killian's think tank."
Skillfully cutting a small piece of the steak in front of him and putting it into his mouth, Pierce chewed the meat carefully to taste all its flavors.
Forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, Lainie let go of her tightly clenched fist, pretending to be nothing and picking up the fork to cut off a small piece of cake.
"Why did Killian insist on seeing me?"
This question troubled Lainie for a long time. She never believed that the guy really liked her. What he wanted was not as simple as it seemed.
"Because of the Cosmic Cube."
Slowly swallowing the piece of meat in his mouth, Pierce put down his knife and fork and took a sip of the wine beside him.
"He is very interested in the battle that took place in New York, and he is also more interested in the Cosmic Cube that opens the wormhole. However, he does not know that you have returned the Cosmic Cube to Asgard, so he wants to get that magical power by contacting you."
Lennie's eyebrows slightly raised when he heard this. He vaguely guessed why Killian was interested in the Cosmic Cube.
Killian, who had seen the real Mandarin, would naturally be afraid of Wenwu, the old immortal guy, but with Killian's temperament, if he had the opportunity to turn the tables, he would naturally not let it go easily.
"So he set his sights on me?"
"Well, everyone has seen your strength and leadership in the New York War, plus your amazing spatial ability and your background of following others, so Killian naturally focused his attention on you."
Pierce smiled and nodded, continued to cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and then repeated the previous process.
Lennie didn't ask any more questions, but just tasted the cake by herself.
The reason why she met this guy was to find an opportunity to take the opportunity to get angry and then shock this damn old man in person.
But she didn't expect this old fox to be so cunning, like a sponge, no matter how Leni teased him, this guy just wouldn't listen!
After thinking for a long time, Leni suddenly realized something that the radar system had sensed when she returned to the Washington headquarters.
"Is some kind of big thing being built under the Trident headquarters?"
As soon as these words came out, Pierce's calm face finally changed, and his right hand holding the wine glass also paused slightly in the air.
However, after thinking of Lainie's magical perception ability, he was relieved.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you. Yes, they are building an aerospace aircraft carrier."
As expected, Lainie recalled some of the plots about the "Insight Project" and became secretly alert in her heart.
"Is this your decision or Nick Fury's decision?"
"What's the difference? His is mine, isn't it?"
Pierce regained his previous calm appearance and continued to taste the delicious food on the plate.
Lainie stopped talking after hearing this. She felt that everything she did now was seen through by this old fox.
As if she had lost interest in the delicious food in front of her, Lainie no longer had any appetite at this time.
Putting down the fork in her hand, Lainie looked at Pierce with a serious face.
"Do you want to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
