"So you've achieved your goal."

Pierce pondered: "If he did all this, then the United States and the woolly bear will not let him go in the first place." He sabotaged their plans, and the turmoil caused by this incident was all attributed to him. It's not just about offending a few secret service organizations. ”

After a pause, he said, "We can't use him." ”

Nick looked at him, inquiring.

"You have to know that Mao Xiong and the United States are two of the five permanent members of the Security Council." Pierce said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. belongs to the Security Council. They can't order you directly, but they can get you into trouble with their mouths. Nick, you have to know that there are no impermeable walls in this world, and I think I can sell him for a good price before it is revealed. ”

Nick shook his head with a smile: "Pierce, things can't be so simple. If it's just an ordinary character, he can naturally use it and discard it at will, but he's not ordinary. I sold him, and he turned around and gave S.H.I.E.L.D. a hand, in exchange for you, can you afford to eat? ”

"But," Pierce hesitated, "you can get rid of him before he can use that means." ”

"How to fix it?" Nick said: "With agents from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Furry Bear? Pierce, you think too highly of them. I don't dare. ”

"Why don't you dare?" Pierce asked rhetorically: "Elite agents increase their powerful weapons, and on the premise of perfect layout, you let Agent Natasha lure him out, and then surround and kill him." ”

"That's a good idea." Nick said, "Even the Hulk probably won't be able to escape." But Pierce, do you know what he's capable of? He came and went without a trace, he could fly, he could disappear into metal, plastic, cement, stone, nothing we knew could trap him. His psychic senses were as far away as five kilometers away. He stripped the Hulk of his abilities and brought the Hulk back to normal. I don't know what to do to trap him and then round him up. ”

"Hulk?" Pierce was keenly aware of the meaning of Nick's words, and said, "He deprived the Hulk of his abilities? ”

"That's right. This is his second mission with S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick said, "Hunt the Hulk." My intention was for him to take the Hulk back, or kill the Hulk, but he took away the Hulk's powers. If it's just weird means, there may not be no way to deal with it, but there are many weird means, and it has more power over the Hulk, how do you deal with this kind of person? ”

“... It's me who thinks about it wrong. Pierce admitted his mistake.

"You said before that the United States would not even let him go, but I was worried about the United States and the woolly bear. If they find out and try to retaliate, then it will be out of control. Can you imagine waking up one morning and the newspapers on the streets are full of news about Nishinomiya's death? Nick said: "Even people like Fu Manchu can get away with it, and Fu Manchu was slapped half to death by him, and he didn't dare to come forward in the past few months." Do you think people like him would be afraid of the United States and the woolly bear? Throwing a nuclear egg may not be able to blow him up. On the contrary, the United States and the woolly bear have to guard against him and accommodate him, otherwise they will not be able to bear the consequences. ”

Pierce's brow furrowed tightly: "Such a person is a time bomb." ”

"So what can it be?" Nick spreads his hands: "Is there less time bomb in this world?" ”

Then the words changed, and Nick looked excited: "We have Natasha, and no one can resist her charm. Even the Christmas ghost. You know, I've learned a piece of news that is very important to us. ”

Pierce's eyes froze: "Very important news? ”

"That's right." Nick said: "His ability is not obtained by scientific experiments, it is not a genetic mutation, and it is not the power obtained by accident from an object. Do you know about the practice? The method of inheritance and orderly cultivation allows an ordinary person to gain god-like power step by step. ”

Pierce's heart was shocked: "This can't be! ”

"Nothing is impossible." Nick said: "Our gods are born, and even the legendary demigod heroes have great power only when they get the blood of the gods. But the people of the Eastern Celestial Empire think that ordinary people can also become gods..."

"He's Asian?! Or even the Celestial Empire?! Pierce's eyes lit up.

"Yes." "So I decided to deepen my cooperation with him, and if we can get this way to make people evolve into gods, we can be invincible." ”

Speaking of this, Nick hesitated for a moment and said, "He's in New York right now." ”

"Where?!" Pierce lost his temper for a moment and hurriedly remedied: "Make sure he doesn't go out of sight." This matter is too important. If you get the method you say, you can imagine how good it is. How much energy and wealth do we expend to study the serum that evolves people? If there was a way to replace it, how much effort could we save? ”

"I can't say for sure at the moment." "All I can say is for sure he's in New York," Nick said. ”

"Doesn't Natasha know that either?" Pierce asked nonchalantly.

Nick shook his head: "Every time he contacts Natasha, not Natasha who contacts him." We couldn't reach him. ”

"I see," Pierce nodded, "That's going to have to be tight." Such a method cannot fall into the hands of a certain force or even a certain country, otherwise it will upset the balance of the world. It can only be mastered by us, S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

"Of course." Nick agreed.

After a few more conversations, the doorbell rang and Nick said, "Come in." ”

It was Alena who came in.

Seeing this, Pierce took his leave: "Since you still have something to do, I won't stay longer." As for the Christmas Ghost, you'll have to work hard for our S.H.I.E.L.D. sus. ”

Nick nodded and sent Pierce out.

Back in the office, closing the door and letting the hammer seal the office, Nick motioned for Alena to sit down, and then said, "I called you back, there is an important matter that I need your help with." ”

Alena said, "Just now... Said Christmas Ghost..."

Nick said: "Pierce is not to be trusted. ”

Alena was stunned for a moment, and then she said, "Then boss, what is the important thing you said?" ”

"That's right." Nick said, "I want you to go and see Mr. Chang Wei immediately." I don't intend to keep all the information about him, other than his own status as a St. Edward's farmer, related to the Christmas ghost. I'm willing to let the Cosmic Cube stay in his hands for another three months, and I ask you to help me tell him. I also have one more request..."

Alena frowned suddenly: "Boss, you have to know that he is not a good talker. ”

"Of course, of course." "But I also know that he doesn't actually plan to keep his identity a secret, does he?" If he has additional requests, I authorize you to contact me directly. ”

"Okay." Alena stood up: "I'll go see him." ”

"Don't worry." Nick said, "You go through the secret passage, don't let people embellish it." ”

"Understood."
