"So, when did you know I was the leader of the Hydra?"

Alexander Pierce followed David out of Osben.

The two were in the same car.

The car drove towards the location of the Fisker building.

It's going to be the safest place in all of New York.

This is true for both David and Alexander Pearce.

After all, David went back to his home, and of course there was no pressure.

Alexander Pierce also knew that David couldn't have been ill-intentioned, at least not stupid enough to kill himself in the lair.

As a result, the two seemed to have a good conversation.

Rose, who watched the two get into the car, couldn't imagine the treacherous atmosphere between David and Alexander Pearce.

As soon as he got into the car, Alexander Pearce's face changed.

He restrained his smile and asked about the question he had had had since he met David.

"When did you find out?"

"From the beginning."

David doesn't shy away from it.

With the passage of time, he became more and more comfortable in the face of these villains who were making trouble in the original time and space, and he could even watch these people perform happily.

All this stems from the increase in its own combat power and the rapid expansion of its power.

As a giant of the underworld, a supernumerary elder of the Brotherhood of the Killer Group, the chairman of Fisker Pharmaceuticals, a shareholder of The Macallan Group, the mastermind behind Osco, the director of the Occult Investigation and Defense Bureau, and ...... The well-known superhero Batman.

There is no doubt that David has built himself into an iron bucket in less than two years.

There aren't many people who are qualified to talk to him these days.

Even the underground king, who controls almost the entire American plate, can reach the world with his tentacles and can easily mobilize the power of the entire Hydra, and is also the nominal leader of Hydra, Alexander Pierce, is only equal to himself in status.

Therefore, David does not need to be low and small at all, he just needs to be treated equally.

The premise of equal treatment is that Alexander Pierce must understand that he is by no means the street gangster with a little ability that he can easily handle with a casual hand.

The gangsters have grown into giants.

Times have changed, sir.

"From the beginning?"

Alexander Pierce frowned, and for a moment he didn't know if what David said was true or false.

There are not many people who know that he is the leader of the Hydra, and there are only a few.

But these people, without exception, are all die-hard loyalists of Hydra, and they will never betray themselves.

If you want to say that the person who is most likely to reveal his identity is not the person close to him, but more likely to be Baron Straker, who controls the European plate.

But considering the previous conflict, between David and Baron Straker.

At the Barrow military base in the Arctic Circle, the Cobra organization, which was almost completely manipulated by Baron Straker, was destroyed by David himself......

It's not like that.

Straker didn't make a sense to use such a big loss, just in exchange for his initial trust in David.

It doesn't make sense.

The Cobra's invasion of the United States and David's invasion of the United States after gaining his trust and allowing Straker to invade the United States were the same results.

Why did Straker bother to change his strategy when he was just about to kick the door?

Isn't this picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon?

But if David knew his identity from the beginning and waited for him in such a big circle, what was his intention?

Inside the car, there was silence, which could be called dead silence.

David looked at Alexander Pierce beside him, his face changed rapidly, and a deep smile on his face.

"Mr. Pierce, don't think about it so much, whatever I want to do, at least, I won't be a hydra

of the enemy."

David had the final word.

This sentence was like the first rays of spring sunshine, dispelling the fog in Alexander Pearce's mind.

That's the truth.

No matter what twists and turns David has hidden in his heart, since he has not shown any hostility towards Hydra until now, it is enough to show that David really did not want to become an enemy of Hydra.

As long as it's not an enemy, it's a friend or not, so what's the matter?

Besides, David Fisk's name is still in Hydra's internal system.

Alexander Pierce let out a sigh.

"Seriously, you're giving me a lot of headaches."

He laughed, "However, I agree with what you said, we are not enemies, and you have no ill will towards us."

"This time, we should talk about cooperation."

David said bluntly: "I know you want to get the nano warframe, no problem, I'm happy to help Hydra, after all, we had a good time working together before."

As he spoke, he nodded happily, and in the waiting eyes of Alexander Pierce, he added, "In the meantime, you must help me get Stark Industries done."

"Get Stark Industries?"

Alexander Pierce didn't say yes, but was slightly embarrassed, frowned and said, "What do you mean by this done? If it's like Osben...... It's definitely an epic project."

"No, I already have The Macallan Group, Osben, and I don't need another Stark Industries."

David said, "When I say done, I mean it. I don't need Stark Industries to go bankrupt, but I hope it will never be an obstacle under my feet again."

"It's no less difficult than what I just said."

Alexander Pierce's eyes flashed, his expression retracted, he entered the negotiation state, returned to his usual tone, and said, "In exchange for a nano armor at such a price, such conditions are not equal. After all, in addition to the nano armor, we also have a mark-type suit to choose from."

"I don't deny that the Mark suit is Tony's masterpiece, but it's just as a clumsy imitation."

"The Mark suit has many flaws, such as the fact that it is very cumbersome to wear, which is a huge disadvantage that limits the effectiveness of the Mark suit...... Could it be that when the enemy hits the door, he will have to wait for you to slowly and leisurely put on your battle suit before starting the fight? Moreover, the current mark-shaped suit is very difficult to take off, and the difficulty is even comparable to the legendary chastity panties."

The barrage of complaints did not make Alexander Pierce change his mind.

He just looked at David calmly, "But it's cost-effective."

"The combat effectiveness and operational agility of the mark-type suit may not be as good as the nano armor, but its cost performance is definitely not comparable to the current nano armor."

Alexander Pierce gives an example: "Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in the world who don't go to a fancy restaurant every day to eat steak and go to a burger shop on the street to buy a quick food to fill their stomachs. As a food, the biggest thing is to fill your stomach, and a $2 burger is a better value for money than a $2,000 premium steak."

He concluded: "You know, the gap between the nano suit and the mark suit is here, and you can never beat an affordable product at the price of a luxury product. Because affordable products will always have an audience."

"Easy-to-understand explanation."

David nodded, knowing that Alexander Pierce in front of him was not easy to fool, and the other party was a mercenary person, just like himself.

The only thing he and Alexander Pierce have in common now is that neither wants to be the enemy.

"So, make a bid."

David shrugged, "I can be the first to provide Hydra with a nano Warframe, provided that you help me bring down Stark Industries."

「……」

A question mark crossed Alexander Pearce's head

。

He looked at David with a strange expression.

Seems to ask.

Is there any difference between what you just said and what you are saying now, except for the change in the order of the sentences?

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

David smiled and said, "After the collapse of Stark Industries, I promised nothing."

Alexander Pierce understood the hint and his eyes flashed.

David doesn't want anything, which means that after Stark Industries changes its shell, it will become a puppet toy for Hydra, at his mercy.

[In view of the general environment,

On top of that, within Stark Industries, research materials, data, armor drawings, etc., regarding the Mark-type suit, will all belong to Hydra.

David threw an attractive bait at Hydra.

Alexander Pierce groaned.

If Hydra can master the technology of Tony's invented mark-shaped suit, it can develop a super army that is not inferior to any other army in the world, and even enough to push the world sideways, even without David's nano armor.

In the face of such an army, it is estimated that only a nuclear bomb can stop its advance.

Alexander Pierce was moved.

It was really hard to let him make the decision to occupy Stark Industries alone.

But there is David on the outside and Hydra on the inside.

This is not the case.

Alexander Pierce saw great possibilities.

"How?"

David saw the other party's heartbeat, and used a trace of hypnotic properties, and continued to bewitch and said, "If you want to pursue cost-effectiveness, it is better to directly snatch the other party's formula, this is called cost-effective, isn't it?"

"You're such a horrible fellow, David."

Alexander Pierce didn't notice David's small movements, but shook his head slightly: "I have to admit that this proposal is exciting, but one thing you have to be clear, we are facing a huge obstacle."

"Oh?"

David raised an eyebrow, "What's the obstacle?"

"Stark Industries itself is not that simple, although the history of existence is not as good as that of The Macallan Group, which has been run by the Macallan family for generations, and the scientific research team is not as good as Osben, but Stark Industries has two other companies in some aspects, and no one can match it."

Alexander Pierce narrated slowly.

"What is it?"

David was curious, and he really didn't expect for a while what the huge advantage in the other party's mouth meant.

Tony stark?

No.

David knew that Alexander Pearce's answer would never be so easily guessed.

"Background."

Alexander Pierce spoke in a deep voice and said categorically: "Stark Industries' background is bigger than that of The Macallan Group and Osben, which is the biggest reason why it can bring Stark Industries to the number one in the industry after the death of Howard Stark."

"It's not because of Tony's brilliant mind, it's not because of Obadiah Stanney's conscientious hard work, it's because of the huge background that no one dares to provoke Stark Industries that keeps many coveted eyes away."

This sentence surprised Davy a little, and then reacted to what Alexander Pierce said about the background of Stark Industries.

"Howard Stark's former comrade-in-arms, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Peggy Carter? Female Captain America?"

David muttered.

"Not bad."

Alexander Pierce nodded, not at all surprised, David would know all this.

Since David has such a deep understanding of Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D., which is easier to investigate than Hydra, is for him

It's even more of a small thing.

Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, Chester Phillips...... These three men are not a secret to a certain extent.

Even among the three, the fact that Peggy Carter is still alive is not a secret.

If David didn't even know this, then Alexander Pierce would definitely have to think again, David's source.

"I almost forgot about this old woman."

He touched his chin, "Then again, Steve Rogers should have fully recovered by now, and if something goes wrong with Stark Industries, with his friendship with Howard Stark, it will be an immeasurable variable."

"Steve Rogers isn't a problem in this matter."

Alexander Pierce glanced at David and said affirmatively, "The biggest problem is Peggy Carter, this woman has been following Tony since Howard's death, although they have never met each other, but I know very well that Peggy Carter's attention to Tony has never been reduced......

At the end of the conversation, he felt the urge to scold the street and made a joke: "If I hadn't known that Peggy Carter rejected Howard Stark's courtship back then, I would have suspected that she had a crush on Howard back then."

Davy listened to these words and frowned slightly.

The facts in Alexander Pearce's mouth made his opinion of Peggy Carter change a little.

By this time, he had already recalled that when he officially met Nick Fury in Osben, Peggy Carter hid in the cubicle of the conference room and eavesdropped on his conversation with Nick Fury.

Apparently, Peggy Carter started paying attention to himself early on.

"It's kind of weird."

He whispered to himself, uttering words that were incomprehensible to Alexander Pierce.

Odd?

Alexander Pierce was surprised: "What's strange?"

"Peggy Carter is acting strangely."

David is not shy about talking about it, and from a standpoint, Peggy Carter can be regarded as himself and Alexander Pierce, potential rivals at the moment.

"From what I know of Peggy Carter, she may be sad and sorry for Howard Stark's death, but she would never care so much about a friend's son."

Based on his knowledge of the original plot, David is very sure of this: "I suspect that Peggy Carter has other purposes, not just to take care of and protect Stark Industries."
