Pierce leaves Nick's office and returns to his advisor's office.

After leaving office, he devoted himself to the political arena, but at the same time, he also took care of some of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s external affairs on the surface, and existed as an adviser.

He first asked the artificial intelligence Aegis to call up all the text, images, and video recordings about the Christmas ghost, and after browsing it, he found that Nick did not lie to him.

After pondering for a long time, he said, "Aegis, ask Sitwell to come to me." ”

Soon, a bald agent in a suit knocked on the door.

"Boss, you're looking for me."

Pierce nodded, "How much do you know about the Christmas Ghost?" ”

"Not much," Sitwell said. All I know is that Black Widow has a one-line connection with this guy... Also, I'm guessing that some of Nick Fury's new recruits may have been in contact with the Christmas Ghost. Because the Christmas Ghost has been involved in the nuclear threat, and Nick Fury's new collection is all pawns abandoned by his organization due to the nuclear threat, they may have crossed paths. ”

"Newly recruited agents," Pierce said, "Aegis, bring in personnel who were abandoned by their own organization due to the nuclear threat and were recruited by Nick Fury. ”

One breath, seven photographs were projected in front of Pierce. Pierce's eyes swept and instantly locked onto Alena's picture.

"Who is this woman?"

"Alena Misapples, the ace agent of the British MI6..."Aegis immediately said Alena's information word for word.

"Sitwell." Pierce didn't wait for Aegis to finish introducing all the information about Alena, and immediately said, "I'll give you a mission." ”

He pointed to Alena's photo: "Put this woman under special surveillance immediately, I want to know everything about her." ”

"Okay, boss."

"Go ahead."

After Sitwell left, Pierce muttered for a long time and said, "Zola, how much do you think this woman has to do with the ghost of Christmas?" ”

"It's huge. After my calculations, more than fifty percent. "Aegis, no, Zola's voice changed, becoming not entirely mechanical, and there was a hint of human emotion in her tone: "Alena Misapples is a standard stunning beauty, with a different style from the black widow Natasha. If I were flesh and blood, I would have the same thoughts about the two of them. Even if the Christmas Ghost is a woman, it is not excluded that there is an idea of getting them on the boat. ”

Pierce bowed slightly: "I ask you to monitor all the movements of Black Widow and this woman. Nick Fury had just met this woman, and I suspect it had something to do with the Christmas ghost. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't." Zola, or Aegis, said, "Nick Fury stripped me of some of my authority through the Director's Authority. ”

"Huh?!" Pierce was instantly alert.

...

Relax with Ellie for a day, and the next day, the festival regains most of Ellie's time. Chang Wei had nothing to do, so he retreated back to the dojo to practice, and only came back before dark.

Before he appeared, Chang Wei sensed the aura belonging to Alena in the room, and he came out directly from Alena's side.

Alena was startled and said, "You're finally back." ”

Chang Wei smiled: "You have been waiting for a long time? ”

"It's morning." Alena pushed Chang Wei: "I haven't eaten lunch yet." ”

Chang Wei understood in seconds, with warmth between his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I'll help you order a meal." ”

Immediately called the hotel to deliver food, put down the phone and said, "Something very important?" ”

Alena sighed, "It seems that when we meet, there is nothing but saying 'something very important'. ”

Chang Wei shook his head: "Then eat first, and speak slowly after eating." ”

Soon, the waiter at the hotel delivered the meal, and the two sat opposite each other, chatting while eating.

Alena said: "Natasha went to Washington, which seems to be a very important thing. I was also on a mission and was called back by Nick who was going to make a deal with you. ”

"Oh?" Chang Wei smiled: "Deal? ”

"yes." Alena ate the steak on the fork and said, "He said that he doesn't plan to keep all the information for you except for the identity of the farmer of St. Edward, and he is willing to give you three more months in the right to use the Cosmic Rubik's Cube." He said that you didn't plan to hide your identity either, and if you still have a request, you can mention it. He also asked if you have a perfect way to control a person..."

Speaking of this, Alena paused: "By the way, when I met him, he was talking to Pierce. Pierce tells him to catch the Christmas ghost. ”

Chang Wei's heart suddenly burst into a daze, and he said with a smile: "The king of agents is playing a game for Pierce." ”

"Through you?" Alena said.

"Obviously." Chang Wei smiled: "He probably wants to borrow my hand to cut off a part of the hydra." ”

"You agree?" Alena said, "If it were me, I wouldn't agree. ”

"No, I agreed, but with conditions." Chang Wei looked at Alena, thought of Natasha and Ellie again, and pondered for a moment and said, "Let him add another hundred kilograms of gold, one thousand catties of silver, copper, iron, and tin." ”

The voice of the King of Agents came from the liaison in Alaina's ear: "Yes. ”

Chang Wei's voice came into the contact: "Since you're here, it's easy to do." Your request was granted. After seven days, the Statue of Liberty will change anomalously, and if you're going to kill someone, send them there. I want to get what I want ready early..."

"No problem, what you want can be prepared in an hour."

The deal is done.

Alena didn't stay long, she only practiced Changchun Gong with Chang Wei once, and then went to S.H.I.E.L.D. with Chang Wei, of course, to escape.

After taking the hardware prepared by Nick Fury, Chang Wei took Ellie back to the hotel first, escaped back to the dojo in the middle of the night, and returned to Hilton early the next morning.

Ellie washed up and saw three quaint bracelets on the coffee table in front of Chang Wei, and couldn't help but say, "What is this?" ”

"Self-defense weapon." Chang Wei picked one up and put it on her wrist: "The five-element ring, which contains three layers of five-element prohibition and three layers of spirit gathering ban, can be used five times a day to resist the damage of RPG head-on." ”

Ellie was surprised, "This is the magic weapon?" She touched the warm five-element ring on her wrist and looked very happy. But when he saw the other two five-element rings, he immediately pouted and said, "It's for those two women?" ”

Chang Wei put away the two five-element rings and smiled without saying a word.

The three five-element rings are made of the same hardware materials that blackmailed Nick Fury yesterday. Although it is only a very ordinary magic weapon, it has a practical effect, especially for Natasha and Alena.

Its defense limit slightly exceeds the lethality of RPGs, and it can resist five frontal attacks from RPGs in a row when it is fully charged. As for firearms and the like, unless the Yuan Qi of the Five Elements Ring is consumed, it can be resisted all the time. If the firepower is insufficient, and the Yuan Qi consumed by the attack is not as fast as the recovery speed of the Five Elements Ring Gathering Spirit, then don't break the defense, and never want to break it.
