Chapter 112: A false alarm
"Please come in ......"
Pierce quickly zoomed out the video on his computer screen and turned to the door and whispered to the door.
As his voice fell and the door opened, a bald man of Indian descent in a black suit and a pair of trimmed glasses walked in and walked briskly to his desk to stand.
This man was none other than Hitville, whom Ronan had met at the café a few hours earlier.
"Hitwil ......"
Looking at the visitor, Pierce's expression was still the same, and after reaching out and touching it under the drawer, he asked directly: "How is it, is the matter done?" ”
Hitwell was a little cautious when he walked into the office, but his expression relaxed when he heard Pierce's movements and this question.
"Mr. ......"
He pulled over the chair and sat down, met Pierce's eyes, and said slowly, "I rushed over as soon as I met Dr. Collins. The matter has been basically settled. ”
"What did Collins say?" Pierce asked.
"Probably because of the agreement we reached last time we worked with each other, we built some initial trust, so Dr. Collins was relatively friendly this time."
Hitwell explained before responding, "When I mentioned that I wanted to cooperate with 'Black Sizzard' on the Human Body Amplification Potion, he almost didn't hesitate and immediately agreed. Dr. Collins said we could send someone directly to Chicago to find Black Jazz, and he would make the arrangements in advance. ”
"yes, I see." Pierce nodded, but after a moment, he suddenly frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hitwil ......"
Pierce frowned and pondered for a long time before he raised his eyelids slightly and stared at Hitwell, and asked aloud: "Don't you think the attitude of Collins or the Garden of Eden on Earth is strange this time?" ”
"It's weird......"
Hitwell didn't understand what he was referring to, and wondered, "What do you mean?" ”
"We've only had a successful deal with Ronan Collins, but they're more like they're borrowing us for their own purposes, but this time ......"
Pilston paused, then continued, "It doesn't seem to do him much good other than the normal benefits of our purchase of potions for their organization. ”
"Mr. ......"
Hitwell smiled and said unconcernedly, "I think you're overthinking." ”
"The Garden of Eden or Dr. Collins may have other ideas, but when the handle of our true identity is in his hands, he did not choose to cooperate with the military or the Logistics Strategy Bureau to wipe us out in one fell swoop, but chose us to cooperate, which is enough for us to maintain enough goodwill towards him."
"Maybe there are some goals in the previous and this cooperation that we don't know about, but we don't seem to have a better solution now."
"Indeed."
Pierce nodded, frowned and replied: "The organization of the Garden of Eden on Earth is no less than a behemoth of the Logistics Strategy Bureau, and the most important thing is that this organization is still partially hidden in the shadows so far. ”
"This is where the Logistics Strategy Bureau is afraid of them, and it is also the key point where we maintain our attention to them."
"Even though we've started some cooperation with them now, we still have to be vigilant. We have been dormant for so many years, and we must not let this mistake make us fall short. ”
"Hmm."
Hitwell nodded slightly, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, sir, the last time we borrowed the operation of the Logistics Strategy Bureau combat team, it seems that Nick Fury noticed something abnormal. ”
"Discovered by Nick Fury?"
Pierce's face suddenly turned pale, stared at him, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you find out?" ”
"I found that in addition to staring at Stark Industries these days, Coulson has spent most of his time secretly checking the field agents and logistics staff in the bureau in a small area, although he is very secretive, but I still know some clues through our internal personnel in the logistics strategy bureau."
Hitwell frowned and thought for a moment, then continued: "It is said that Coulson's cross-examination was instructed by Nick Fury this time, and it seems that Nick Fury also takes this matter seriously. ”
"Secret Inventory ......"
Pierce pondered for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Then are there any dangers of exposing the insiders we have planted?" ”
"Coulson was discovered when we found out about one of our insiders who had been amnesticized."
Hitwell quickly responded, breathing a sigh of relief, and continued: "Fortunately, we found out in advance, and fortunately Coulson conducted a small investigation, and we succeeded in hiding him by borrowing some small actions. ”
Pierce thought for a moment and asked again, "Then did you notice who Coulson was mainly looking for when he was cross-examining?" ”
"Nick Fury seems to know that the bureau has been invaded by outsiders, but I have seen that Coulson's focus is on agents who are often on field missions."
"Huh?"
Pierce sensed something unusual in his words, as if he had thought of something, and exclaimed, "According to you, I don't think Nick Fury has yet to find out about our existence." ”
As for Nick Fury's personal ability, Pierce, the person who single-handedly promoted him to the position of director, can be said to know it well. Nick Fury can be said to be an absolute executor who can never trust anyone, or he will not have absolute trust in anyone, he really believes in only one person - and that is himself.
When Nick Fury first started his tenure, Pierce actually hesitated, his initial idea was actually to let the internal staff take this position, but after looking around, Pierce found that no one under his command seemed to have the absolute ability to lead the complex and huge organization of the Logistics Strategy Bureau.
Later, Pierce felt that it didn't seem like a bad thing to have Nick Fury in the position of director of the bureau, at least Nick Fury's ability was fully utilized in the position of director of the logistics strategy bureau.
Because of this, although the Logistics Strategy Bureau has been criticized by the FBI and CIA for not making much progress, it still firmly solidifies the name and strength of the largest intelligence and secret service agency in the United States.
As for the Hydra faction led by Pierce and rooted within the Logistics Strategy Bureau, there was almost no mistake because of his care.
Along with Nick Fury, he is the top officer of the 10th level of the Logistics Strategy Bureau, and although Pierce is now dealing with the affairs of the World Security Council most of the time, Pierce undoubtedly knows all the information that Nick Fury knows.
So when Hitwell said that Nick Fury had found them, Pierce, although he showed concern, actually didn't believe it in his heart.
And from the content of his last sentence, Pierce immediately figured out what Nick Fury's real purpose was for asking Coulson to check the personnel in the bureau.
Met Hitwell's puzzled gaze, Pierce reached out and clicked on the video he had watched again, moved the computer screen to him, and said, "You'll understand after watching this." ”
Hitwell glanced at Pierce's determined gaze, nodded, and began to watch the black-and-white video on the screen.
