Chapter 67: After the Fact
Three days after the collapse of the Manhattan Tower, Coulson returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to report to the new Director Nick Fury after directing the rescue efforts on the spot, and when he opened the door to Nick Fury's office, he found that the former Director, Pierce Alexander, was also in the office.

"Coulson, I've read your report!" Nick didn't say anything politely and went straight to the point: "What clues does that night Shura have!" ”
After Edward solved Hal and left, Coulson led the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and stormed into the Manhattan building to rescue the hostages, Hydra had already given the order to retreat at that time, Coulson did not meet resistance, and rescued all the hostages smoothly, but just when S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to search the Manhattan Building and find clues to the Hydra organization, the Manhattan Building collapsed, but fortunately, the people around the building had been dismissed and there were no casualties.
"Night Shura has not appeared since he left three days ago, we suspect that before the Manhattan Tower incident, the vigilante who appeared in New York was Night Shura, but unfortunately his whereabouts are secretive, and there is no clue for the time being!" Coulson replied.
Nick calmed down, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Did the person you brought back speak?" ”
Coulson understood that Nick Fury was referring to the black snake suspected of being the leader of the Hydra organization that he brought back from the Manhattan Building, when he stormed the Manhattan Building to rescue the hostages, he found the black snake that could not move its limbs, according to the information provided by Edward about the Hydra Branch, Coulson immediately took control of the black snake suspected of being the leader of the Hydra Organization and took it to the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
"Black Snake still hasn't spoken!" Coulson shook his head and said, "We have tortured him severely in the past three days, but the black snake has never said a word!" ”
Pierce heard that the corners of his mouth were slightly pretty, but he quickly covered it up, did not show Nick Fury the flaw, and took the initiative to speak: "You must protect that black snake, whether he is a Hydra person or not, he is the key to this Manhattan Tower incident!" ”
Nick also nodded: "The impact of this Manhattan Tower incident is too huge, not only the building collapsed, causing nearly 5 billion US dollars in direct losses, but also countless indirect effects, S.H.I.E.L.D. has not found anything, even the other party does not know, the World Security Council is already dissatisfied, and the three major spy agencies in the United States have also sent warning letters, and the Black Snake is our only breakthrough!"
The collapse of the Manhattan building caused turmoil among the citizens of New York, and even the U.S. stock market was implicated, falling by several percentage points, evaporating hundreds of millions of assets, and the matter was too big Not only did the FBI directly intervene in the investigation, but even the CIA sent agents to negotiate with S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, the newly baked director, was called to the White House office on his first day in office, and he was naturally in a bad mood.
Just when Coulson was about to report to work, the phone on Nick Fury's desk rang, and his face changed in less than ten seconds after he picked up the phone, and soon Nick hung up the phone with a black face, and said to Pierce in a deep voice: "Black Snake is dead!" ”
"What?!" Pierce was taken aback and said, "Isn't the Black Snake being held at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters?" ”
Nick said heavily: "Two minutes ago, the Black Snake was found dead in his cell with a broken heart!" ”
"Somebody did that!" Coulson asked.
"Haven't found out yet!" Nick said with a dark face: "According to the guards, the black snake has not touched a person all day, but in the blink of an eye, he died in the cell!" ”
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Coulson fell silent, according to what Nick said, the death of the black snake must have been done by S.H.I.E.L.D., and no one on earth can sneak into the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to kill people, but this matter involves the issue of moles, and he is not good at interjecting!
Pierce also thought of Black Snake's death for the first time, probably related to Hydra's hidden traitor in S.H.I.E.L.D., but he did not give the order to eradicate Black Snake.
"You have to investigate this matter strictly, and those who can kill people at the headquarters must not be underestimated!"
"I understand!" Nick nodded at Pierce and said, "I'll let Hill take over this matter!" ”
After Pierce behaved, he left Nick Fury's office and returned to his office, wanting to contact the people of Hydra to find out the truth about the death of Black Snake, but the moment he opened his office, Pierce's heart suddenly jumped, and he immediately found that there was someone in his office, and when he wanted to ring the alarm at the door, a voice stopped him.
"Minister Pierce, I've destroyed all the alarms in your office!"
When Pierce heard the voice, he paused, straightened his suit, and walked into the office generously, seeing the person who made the sound.
"Night Shura!?"
Pierce saw a figure standing in front of his desk, wearing a black trench coat, a cold temperament, a handsome face, and a dark room with a pair of sunglasses, which was the same as the photo of the dark night Shura that Coulson had brought back.
"Minister Pierce, please be seated!" Edward pointed to the couch and said, "I think we have something to talk about!" ”
Pierce pretended to be calm and sat on the sofa, crossed his legs and said, "What is the matter with Mr. Night looking for a contemptible person!" ”
The corners of Edward's mouth rose: "I came to S.H.I.E.L.D. this time just to kill the black snake, and as for looking for you, I just want to see what kind of person the supreme officer of S.H.I.E.L.D. is hiding in Hydra!" ”
Pierce's pupils shrank when he heard his identity revealed, and he pretended to be calm: "Did Mr. Night misunderstand me!" ”
Edward raised his hand to stop Pierce from going on, "You don't have to admit or deny, I'm not interested in your identity, I just want to remind you to stop messing with me!" Black Snake is just a lesson! ”
Edward gestured to a document in front of Pierce's desk and motioned for him to look at it.
Pierce picked up the document suspiciously, and turned the two pages at random, his face changed greatly, his eyes widened, and he saw that on the document was the information of all the personnel of the New York branch of Hydra, which was not what surprised him the most, but everyone's information marked death, and even the way of death was clearly written, and there was also a photo of death, but some of them were agents who had been evacuated from the Manhattan Building, and had returned to the Hydra headquarters, and it was impossible to die. Taking a deep breath, he asked, facing Edward.
"What do you mean!"
Edward smiled lightly: "This is a warning, I have killed all the people of the New York branch of Hydra, if you still want to provoke me, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
After saying that, Edward stood up and walked to the door of Pierce's office, and after opening the door, he seemed to remember something, turned back to Pierce and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that I have transferred all the property of the Hydra Division, which is considered my mental damage fee!" All the information in the branch has also been emptied by me, so you don't have to waste your efforts to find the experimental data of the Black Snake! ”
"Smack!" Edward closed the door, and Pierce, who was clever, immediately ran to the door and opened the door, only to find that the doorway was empty, and there was still Edward there!
After Pierce returned to the room and confirmed that what Edward said was true, he ordered his subordinates with difficulty: "Stop the investigation of the Night Shura!" ”
