Chapter 285: Hearings

"How's the flight going?"

Trident headquarters.

The group was headed towards the headquarters with a group of followers. The leader was Alexander Pearce, who wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he was asking the woman next to him who was wearing a backpack, a steady navy blue business dress, and layers of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"It's not bad, but it's not so good when you enter the country." The woman replied to Alexander Pierce's words.

"It's a shame that S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't get everything under control." Alexander Pierce sighed and laughed at himself: "Including Captain America." ”

"Don't worry about the captain, to be honest, I'm used to speculating on a stranger or even someone close to me with the greatest malice, but the captain is always one of the few people I trust the most. A lot of people will spoil, but the captain obviously hasn't had time to spoil yet. He's not like us, he's been blank for decades, and it's hard to get spoiled in the ice. The woman replied.

"Even if he's now working against the whole country and the people?" Alexander Pierce glanced at the woman in surprise. The other members of the World Security Council looked around with their hands behind their backs, without interjecting into the conversation between the two of them.

"Maybe you should add one that was." The woman smiled: "A person who has repented is rare. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying." Alexander Pierce frowned.

"Didn't Meng Ao of the Storm family tell you?" The woman glanced at Alexander Pierce, which made Alexander Pierce frown, and the bad feeling in her heart became even heavier.

"No, he didn't tell me anything, and I haven't even seen him until now." Alexander Pierce shook his head.

"As much as I don't like Nick, who was always tough, he was in power. Aside from the recent Manhattan invasion, we are satisfied. The woman kept walking.

The group had arrived in front of the Trident headquarters building, and a group of agents were standing solemnly in front of the square in front of the headquarters, waiting for Alexander Pierce and his group of council members to approach.

A black agent in a beret lifted a metal box he was carrying horizontally and opened it as Alexander Pearce approached them. Four rectangular, metallic-colored brooch pins were revealed.

"Identity here is seriously biometric, and this badge allows you to get through here." Alexander Pierce took the metal box from the black agent's hands with both hands, held it in his own hand and handed it to the woman, along with the three permanent members of the Board of Governors behind him, motioning for them to step up.

"This is a little more prepared, and there will be no shortage of guests today." The woman reached out and picked up a badge from the box, took Lin by the collar and pinned it.

"Mon Au and Tony Stark? They don't need to be late. Alexander Pierce shrugged, "as a senior advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D. We have their information and identification here. ”

"No, I'm referring to another guest who arrived on time." The woman glanced at her watch and then at the sky, a smile on her face.

A signature tail flame dragged a trailing arc of flying objects through the air, rapidly approaching the area. And to make matters worse, the anti-aircraft defense system of the Trident headquarters turned a blind eye to it. Knowing that the tail flame was falling out of a winding arc and slamming to the ground, everyone saw the coming.

Dressed in a gold and red wind // sao steel suit. The visor opened, and it was Tony Stark's black, stinky face. He took it. There is also a handsome man in a star-striped suit with a round shield hanging from his back.

"I never thought I'd fly in the sky with a man one day." Tony Stark said with a stinky face.

"Welcome Captain." Ignoring the complaining Tony Stark, the woman reached out to captain Steve Rodgers.

"Hopefully I'm not late, Director Elena." Captain Steve Rodgers shook hands with the woman he called Elena.

Alexander Pearce's eyes narrowed, and before the hearing officially began, the waves of surprises had already surprised him. It gave him a sense of uncontrollability that his rhythm had collapsed. Faintly, he was prepared for the worst today. Or rather, he had prepared for whatever happened before this hearing began, according to the worst-case scenario. Preparations were made.

This is the only thing Alexander Pierce has been able to feel at ease so far.

This is Trident HQ!

One of the most heavily defended places in the country!

There is always an elite army subordinate to S.H.I.E.L.D. stationed outside this headquarters, and the underground of the headquarters can pull out at least ten standard tactical teams of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents at any time, and the Trident headquarters itself also has a variety of protection methods.

And he, Alexander Pierce, is the only person in this headquarters who has the first command authority so far! In other words, he has the power to mobilize all the protective forces of this headquarters! There was once a person with the same authority as him, but he had gone to another world.

Tony Stark rubbed his wrist and walked out of Mark's suit, and after throwing a sentence at the suit behind him: "Sentinel Mode", he casually touched the hand swept by Director Elena vaguely, which counted as a handshake, and stared at the black agent who wanted to come forward.

"Hey, don't touch my baby, just let it stay here, or I won't be responsible for being treated like a punching bag and an enemy. Of course, if you don't have the money to pay for your medical bills, I can lend it to you generously. ”

After everyone greeted each other, they hurried into the gate of the headquarters and walked straight all the way to Nick Fury's original command room.

Alexander Pierce opened the hearing with his opening remarks: "The world will be grateful that we are here today. ”

"I agree with that."

Meng Ao's voice rang out from outside the door. Alexander Pierce and the others all turned around and looked through a layer of glass at Meng Ao who appeared, as well as Jasper Sitwell, with his head bowed and a decrepit look, and a man whose entire body was covered in a shackled coat, with only one head on the outside. Clearly not a prisoner of the earthlings.

Alexander Pierce's face turned blue for a moment when he saw Jasper Sitwell, who was dodging and did not dare to look at him, and the Skrull, who was clearly a prisoner. The appearance of these two men, as well as the arrival of captains Steve Rodgers and Tony Stark, is enough to confirm the worst guess in his heart.

His hand reached into his coat pocket and quietly touched his phone. It's his. It's also a custom phone that only he can use! With it, Alexander Pierce can control many, many things, such as the badges that are pinned to the permanent members of the board of directors that are said to be identifiable, but actually hide pocket bombs?

But his hand was grabbed by a strong arm and pulled out.

"Please don't act rashly, Mr. Minister." Steve Rogers let go of his grip on Alexander Pearce's arm, reached into his pocket with one hand, confiscated his phone, and casually threw it on the long table in front of the four permanent members.

"What is this?" Alexander Pierce calmly spreads his hands. Looking at the four permanent directors who exchanged glances with each other, but ignored the actions of captain Steve Rogers: "I know some of you have been looking at me for a long time, but not to the point of this saber-rattling, right?" Am I no longer one of the five permanent members? ”

"Soon it won't. Minister Pierce. Meng Ao pushed the door in and looked at Alexander Pierce with a stiff face, "Or should your official title be announced?" For example, the supreme leader of Hydra? ”

"Is there any evidence?" Alexander Pierce chuckled.

"What do you think?" Meng Ao asked rhetorically.

"Looks like so. Indeed, it is almost absurd folly to point out a permanent member of the World Security Council without evidence. Alexander Pierce nodded, his eyes falling to the four permanent directors who were sitting on the side watching the play: "Yes." You must have read some evidence beforehand, that's why you're so calm now? ”

"It doesn't look like this is a hearing at all to resolve the dispute that divides the Avengers. Is it an Alexander Pearce critique? ”

Alexander Pierce smiled,

Well, he confessed. Then it will be my turn. Tony Stark raised his hand abruptly, and he rubbed his wrist and came to Alexander Pierce, staring at him with a stinky face.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"I don't want to tell you anything."

Tony Stark dropped a sentence, and then a punch landed in Alexander Pierce's face.

Pierce covered his face and staggered back a few steps. It took him to reach out and lay down on a table behind him to stabilize his body, followed by Tony Stark's fluttering words: "Although I don't like that old guy, he is my dad after all." They died at the hands of Hydra, so I'll beat you up. ”

"Plans don't always work out as planned." Alexander Pierce rubbed his cheeks. Holding his chin with one hand, he swayed from side to side, "I thought I could hide it until the last moment I wanted to hide, that is, the moment I entered the grave." ”

"Did Sitwell betray me?"

Hearing Alexander Pearce's words, Jasper Sitwell, who was pretending to be quail, was silent. Forced by Meng Ao to come here as a witness, he was already in tears, and now Alexander Pierce's seemingly questioning, but in fact, if he was sure, directly strangled any little sprout in his heart.

He knew he could no longer gain the trust of Alexander Pearce.

He also knew that he was afraid that for the rest of his life, he would only be on the side of Meng Ao and them, living a life of being threatened and even assassinated by the members of the crazy Hydra Organization.

Even though Alexander Pierce seems to be unable to turn the tables in front of him, Jasper Sitwell is still worried about his future life.

Obviously, S.H.I.E.L.D. won't trust him very much anymore, but Alexander Pierce still has a hole card called "Apocalypse" in his hand.

In the face of Pierce's questioning, Jasper, who still had the strong shadow of this old man in his heart, remained silent.

"Nick Fury isn't dead, is he? You can't afford such a big battle! Alexander Pierce's eyes looked at Mon Au and Tony Stark, as well as the four permanent members of the Board of Trustees who were listening intently: "I want to see him!" ”

"Director Fury has always wanted to meet you," Meng Ao spread his hands, "I'll talk to you about Hydra's so-called 'Apocalypse Project'." ”

"Where's my manpower?" Alexander Pierce, who got a satisfactory answer, didn't pay attention to the top-secret plan "Apocalypse" revealed by Meng Ao, he just asked again. According to his assumption of the worst-case scenario for today, his manpower should be completely chaotic, and he should quickly come over and take over the command room, and take control of the four ordinary directors. When the time comes, he will occupy the absolute initiative.

For this, he did quite a lot of arrangement and preparation here. But now, these seemingly foolproof arrangements have also become extremely uncertain. And this is only because there are so many people in the other camp who grabbed his sore feet and dared to resist him.

"Do you mean Brock-Rumlow?" Meng Ao asked, and then said, "Do you think I'm willing to be late?" I've got to get rid of some of the hidden dangers that could cause trouble. If nothing else, you'll see them soon. In a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison somewhere! ”

"During the time you were active, Fury didn't lie on the hospital bed and be an honest patient."

A helicopter lands on a helicopter platform outside the glass with a roaring propeller noise. The fuselage came to a halt and a black boot stepped down. Dressed in a black trench coat, with a broken arm dangling a fixed bandage, and still wearing the iconic black blindfold, Nick Fury limped along the railing corridor with Maria Hill's support.

Looking at Nick Fury, who appeared in the command room, Pierce showed a peculiar smile, looked at him approaching, and asked, "Did you receive my flowers?" ”

Nick Fury stopped not far from Pierce with heavy steps, and the only intact one-eyed looked at Alexander Pierce coldly.

"I'm glad to see you again and I'm glad you're here. Really, Nick! Pierce had a smile on his face.

"Really? I thought you were trying to kill me. "Nick Fury left Maria Hill behind.

"We have to abide by the rules of the game." Pierce said with a hint of regret.

"What is Project Apocalypse? I would like to explain this issue before we can have a friendly conversation. (To be continued.) )
