After two months of non-stop work, the Duke finished dealing with the things that had accumulated over the years.

No wonder the ancient emperors were so tired, they didn't have much land to be busy like this, if they really established an empire, wouldn't they even have no free time?

Seriously, for a moment Conrad thought that he was just lazy, and let him face so many tedious tasks every day, it was better to go and talk to two girls.

It's a pity that there is absolutely no regret medicine in this world.

Besides, it's only been more than ten years since the Zitarians attacked, and it was only more than twenty years before the attack of the Director of Extermination, so I can't be lazy if I want to!

So even if he kept thinking about letting Gadot and Natasha change into their respective suits to see if Marvel or DC was better, he could only hold back the throbbing in his heart and took the car to the Sanqu Wing building in Washington, D.C.

As for why he abandoned his original plan and came to S.H.I.E.L.D. INSTEAD?

That's not because Natasha is pregnant!

I have to say that after twenty years of unremitting efforts, even though Norman had already been assessed as having fertility difficulties, he still got Black Widow pregnant!

Although Conrad really wanted to see how attractive the pot-bellied Black Widow was, as the current key protection object of the Osborne family, Natasha had been taken back to recuperate a few months ago, and she only came to report after hearing that she had returned.

So he had no choice but to try out the better idea of Marvel and DC, but he could only put it on hold for the time being.

"Welcome, welcome!"

The car stopped at the door of the Sanqu wing building, where a middle-aged man with blond hair was already standing and waiting.

"Why, you're still so angry with me?"

Lord Duke smiled and punched the guy.

Pierce stretched out his hand with a smile, and even though his shoulder hurt from Conrad's punch, the smile on his face didn't change in the slightest.

"What's the matter, this is not your noble status Lord Duke, I don't dare to climb high at will!"

Twenty years ago, Conrad, Norman, Rose, and Pierce could be regarded as fox friends, and everyone often fooled around together, and the relationship between everyone was quite harmonious.

It's just that with the growth of age and the change of personal identity, the relationship between the four people has also begun to change slowly.

Norman didn't talk about it, and if Black Widow didn't talk about it, he and Conrad were the closest brothers.

Rose, on the other hand, had a little trouble with Conrad because of Stryker's affair, but it didn't hurt, and a dog change wasn't a big deal for the two of them.

However, compared to Norman and Rose, Pierce is much worse.

Don't look at his Lao Tzu who used to be the secretary of state back then, and he himself is currently in a high-level management position in S.H.I.E.L.D., but compared to the other three, it can't be said at all.

Norman has fully taken over the Osborne Group, which can definitely be regarded as a financial giant, and Ross is now in the position of lieutenant general, if it is not for his age and seniority, he may become the youngest general in history.

As for Conrad, that's even less to say!

Pierce is already a proud son of heaven in the eyes of others, but compared with these three friends, it is really embarrassing.

"I'm not happy if you get this with me!" Conrad hugged Pierce boldly, looking like an old friend who didn't give me face when he saw you.

The two of them talked and laughed at the doorway for a few minutes before they stepped together, led by Pierce, and walked into the building.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is in a very awkward position at the moment

In the past, when Howard was there, S.H.I.E.L.D. could be said to be unique and unique, and there was no need to bird any international organization or country at all.

After all, where are his qualifications, and Howard himself is not bad at money, so no matter who he is, he must let him.

But now that Howard is dead, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s position is very dangerous.

First and foremost is the issue of political stance.

Howard dared to directly resist the U.S. government in his own name, but the new director Edwin didn't have the guts.

The Sanqu Wing Building is built in the Washington Special Economic Zone!

Second, there are economic issues.

As an international intelligence agency, Howard used to be able to rely on his vast network to mobilize a large amount of money, and if there were times when funds were tight, he could also pay out of his own pocket and be completely self-sufficient.

Anyway, he's not bad for money!

But now S.H.I.E.L.D.

I'm sorry, but since the death of the old director Howard, the agents below haven't been paid for two months.

So when he heard that Conrad, the famous God of Wealth, was going to visit S.H.I.E.L.D., Director Edwin almost had to go out to raise a flag to welcome him.

The agents also had to feed their families, and if they couldn't get paid, Edwin was really afraid that he would be torn alive by those impoverished agents.

"Is the Duke of Wettin here preparing to provide us with financial assistance?"

As soon as he walked into the conference room, Director Edwin couldn't wait to ask.

Edwin is a person, in fact, Conrad has heard Howard mention it before.

As a subordinate, this person is absolutely reliable, because no matter what you command, he will do his best to do it well, and he will never have any hesitation or his own ideas.

But if you let him do it alone, it will be very bad.

Edwin has no opinions and ideas of his own at all, and the main reason why he was able to sit in the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D. after Howard's death is only because he is currently the oldest and the most qualified in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. department.

After all, when Howard was there, he drove away all those who were capable.

It is basically difficult for a super strong monarch to tolerate those subordinates who have too many self-ideas, and Edwin can follow Howard as a deputy for forty years, and his character can be imagined.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. should have its own business, right? Is the money tight enough now? The Duke sat down, and the Duke asked with a slight frown.

He did know that S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed to be in some financial difficulties at the moment, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and it was also an international intelligence agency, so it wouldn't fall into a financial crisis in just a few months, right?

"It's not a secret, Originally, S.H.I.E.L.D. still had some of its own industries all over the world, but since the death of the old director, those industries have been seized by governments in various names, and now they are ripping off!"

Edwin's mental state was a little decadent, and the fact that he had encountered so many bad things in just a few months in office really made the old man a little exhausted.
