After a little chat with Edwin, Conrad personally donated $300 million to S.H.I.E.L.D. to help him get through his immediate needs first.

With Edwin's thanks, the Duke arrived at Pierce's private office.

Pierce is currently in charge of the Department of Foreign Economic Affairs within S.H.I.E.L.D., which is specifically responsible for helping out with money.

He can now be said to be the busiest person in S.H.I.E.L.D., because the industries of various countries have been seized, Pierce is making transatlantic phone calls every day, arguing with the foreign ministries of various countries, asking them to quickly return those industries.

It's just that everyone thinks that he is doing useless work, and the governments of those countries obviously want to take advantage of the opportunity of Howard's hanging up to share the benefits, how can they spit out the benefits that they have eaten in their mouths?

Of course, if Pierce really has the ability to get those properties back, then he is tantamount to the reinvention of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. hero.

When Edwin complained to him just now, Conrad had already figured it out, and the whole thing could be concluded to be a Hydra conspiracy.

Although it is said that people go to tea and cool, after Howard's death, those government agencies that see him unpleasantly will definitely try to reduce the influence of S.H.I.E.L.D., but everyone is civilized at least face.

Directly seizing the S.H.I.E.L.D. industry, this way of eating is too rough, how many years ago everyone didn't play like this, okay.

Although Hydra has infiltrated a lot within S.H.I.E.L.D. over the years, the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. is still Howard, and it is a fool's dream for them to get a key position.

Pierce should already be regarded as Hydra's highest insider within S.H.I.E.L.D., so this time, taking advantage of the chaos, Hydra's various branches have a rare cooperation, wanting to push him down directly to the forefront.

Hydra's biggest advantage is concealment, but concealment alone is useless.

Straker has been hiding in Sokovia's place for more than forty years, building the tortoise fortress into a solid foundation, but so what?

If you really want to be hidden, dig a pit directly in the desert and bury yourself, it is absolutely hidden, but what is the use of being so hidden?

As the most tireless villain in the Marvel world, in addition to ensuring its own safety, Hydra also has to have an intelligence network all over the world and an army that can be dispatched at any time.

You can't even do these three things, what kind of shame do you have to call yourself a villain in the Marvel world?

S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently the best choice for Hydra.

"Conrad, are you done talking to the director?"

Seeing the Duke walk in from outside, Pierce put down the phone in his hand and asked with a smile.

"I'm actually here to find you this time!"

"Well, if you tell me something, it's fine."

"It's not a big deal, I just want you to help me get an intelligence network, and by the way, I can help put a few people in." At present, almost all of the external intelligence networks of the Wettin consortium are supported by Natasha, and Black Widow has been using the Soviet intelligence system to do personal work for herself.

Although Natasha has done her best over the years, no matter what, it is impossible for her to have the information alone.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is now just a small intelligence agency, and it may even go out of business at any time after Howard's death, but Conrad, who is familiar with the plot, knows that once he waits for Nick. If Fury takes over, S.H.I.E.L.D. will immediately leap to the top and become the overlord of the world's intelligence agencies.

So now I have nothing to do to put in a few idle chess, which is quite necessary.

"This, you should talk to Director Edwin about this kind of thing, I'm just a minister of foreign trade, and I'm not responsible for these things at all!" Even Pierce's city couldn't help but change his face when he heard Conrad's words, and he was stunned for two seconds before he reacted.

Big brother, I just said a few polite words, do you want to be so upright!

When you say to your face that you want to install people inside S.H.I.E.L.D., why don't you go to the Capitol and say that you want to be the next president of the United States?

"Edwin, that guy is old, I think he should burn high incense by the end of the year, the next director of S.H.I.E.L.D., must be you!" The Duke sat in his chair and chatted with Pierce without the slightest embarrassment.

"You also think too highly of me, I'm just a minister of foreign economic cooperation, and with the current financial situation of S.H.I.E.L.D., it will be very difficult to hold out until the end of the year!" Pierce pulled out the sweat towel from his jacket pocket and wiped his forehead, and said calmly.

"From Howard's death to the seizure of industries in various countries, you are very skilled in this process!" Seeing that Pierce was still struggling to support, Conrad said lightly.

Seriously, when he first started to cross, he was really a little scared of the remnants of the Hydra.

After all, he was just a down-and-out aristocrat at that time, and it would be really dangerous to provoke a villain like Hydra hidden behind the scenes.

But now!

Hydra, what is it?

The entire Hydra is counted as one, and there is basically nothing to fight, and it's okay to play with intrigue and tricks, but if you want to do anything to attack the fortifications head-on, it's simply self-defeating.

Especially now that Conrad is surrounded by Phoenix, he is an authentic fifth-level master, even if Thanos comes, he can try to fight for a few rounds, just Hydra, he really doesn't care about it.

Therefore, as soon as this person has strength, it is easy to swell!

"This, what are you talking about, I don't understand it!" Sweat was rolling down Pierce's forehead, and he could continue to smile, but his feet unconsciously moved towards a dark grid.

"Old friends, if you call someone, it won't be good!" Sensing Pierce's small movements, Conrad slowly shifted his gaze and looked at Pierce's legs and said.

Even though there was a desk in the way, Pierce felt as if the other party's gaze had penetrated the wooden table, and suddenly his toes froze and he didn't dare to move.

As a fox friend for many years, he naturally knows how powerful his old friend is.

Conrad was interviewed many times more than a decade ago as a war hero touted by the U.S. government!

"That's right, you're not a fool, there's no need to work for the so-called tradition, right?" Seeing that Pierce's foot was retracted, Conrad said kindly.

In any religious organization, the lower the congregation, the more blindly obedient they are, and the upper organization generally does not believe in itself.

"How much do you know!"

It took Pierce thirty seconds to slowly calm down, looking at the familiar old friend in front of him, and for the first time he felt that the other party was so strange.
