Washington, D.C., S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.

"How's it going, have you found them?"

Pierce stared at his men who pushed the door in, his terrifying look as if he would be eaten alive if he said a "no" from his mouth.

"Definitely, the locator is activated, showing that they are moving at high speed, and the destination has not yet been determined."

"Bring it and let me see it!"

Seeing the dazzling glint in the eyes of the minister who took off his glasses, his subordinates quickly bowed forward and handed over the tablet.

"Huh?"

Seeing the movement trajectory of the flashing light points on the real-time satellite positioning map, Pierce was also a little puzzled for a while.

Since there is no news and no body has been found, he can only temporarily believe that the Winter Soldier Zero and One have been controlled by the enemy, and Nick Fury has also been rescued by those people, most likely the guy's backhand prepared in advance.

Based on what he knew about Fury, if the other party didn't suspect his identity, they should return to S.H.I.E.L.D.D. headquarters, and now the light point showed that it was speeding out of Washington, D.C.

"Jingle Bell"

"Hey, I'm Pierce."

"The report on the operations of the special operations team has been delivered, minister, you need to hurry up and take a look!"

Hanging up the phone with a "click", Pierce temporarily put the tablet aside, woke up his work computer, entered the password to log in to the encrypted mailbox to find the report file, and carefully browsed it.

Two days ago, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mobile satellite launch platforms, the USS Remoria, lost contact in the Indian Ocean, and all communications on board were interrupted.

Three hours after the disappearance, a French mercenary who claimed to be Baroque called to claim that he had taken full control of the ship and asked S.H.I.E.L.D. to pay $300 million to ransom the ship and all its crew.

Pierce, who knew the secrets of the ship, although he was troubled by the lawlessness of these iron-headed mercenaries, had to inform Nick Fury, the current director, and secretly dispatched the special combat team that had just been reorganized.

The special operations team that lost Bullock Rumlow, the captain, and more than a dozen senior members was obviously not as easy as before, and this former ace saber of S.H.I.E.L.D. is now much blunt.

With the powerful intelligence network of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, it took them three hours to find the exact location of the Star of Rimoria, but the debut of the new special forces team was clearly a failure, and it took a full fifteen hours to complete the rescue mission after the sneak attack was detected.

Needless to say, nearly half of the hostages were killed in the firefight, and the mercenary leader Bartók escaped after wounding three of his teammates.

Of course, it didn't matter how many people died and what mercenaries ran away from Pierce now, he cared about something else.

"Agent Sitvel is nowhere to be found, and there are signs of hacking into the ship's systems that have copied the files?"

Seeing this line of words, Mr. Minister finally realized that the matter was big, what bullshit pirate mercenaries are all tricks, and he was eighty percent sure that the mastermind behind this incident was Nick Fury, who had just escaped from pursuit!

Pierce immediately pulled the phone on the table, and while working on the keyboard, he connected to his secretary's phone:

"Hello? On my behalf, you will immediately send an online notice of the emergency meeting to the members of the Security Council. ”

"Okay, Mr. Minister, what about the timing and topics of the meeting?"

Pierce looked at the big words "User permission has been successfully revoked" displayed on the computer screen, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"After five minutes, you don't need to report the issue, just tell them it's an A-class incident."

The secretary was shocked when she heard this, the latest A-class incident was the invasion of the Zetari army in New York, and it seemed that life would not be stable again.

"Yes, Mr. Minister, your notice has been delivered, please proceed to the top floor conference room in five minutes."

Pressed for time, Pierce stood up from the boss's chair, took the coat handed by his hand, and set off for the top floor, inadvertently glancing at the tablet he had placed on the edge of the table.

"It's all in New Jersey, such a fast speed, it seems that it should be a Queen-style fighter of S.H.I.E.L.D., YES, Nick, you are a black braised egg, you are really scheming."

At this point, Pierce's movements as he straightened his clothes suddenly froze, and then reconfirmed the location displayed on the tablet and the action report on his screen.

"Sitwell! You soft bones! Ahh!!h ”

He connected all the clues together in an instant, it must be that soft bald man in Sitwell who confessed! In other words, he and many Snake Shield agents are already 100% exposed to Nick Fury and the others, and he must hurry up with the little time left!

The subordinates didn't understand why their boss suddenly cued the bald civilian agent, in his opinion, that guy had always behaved like a coward, and a fourth-level agent in S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't say that there were a lot of them, there were still one hundred and eighty, why was the minister so angry?

"You! Don't be in a daze! Immediately go to the war room to deliver my orders, and call me all the staff of the Insight Project, quick! ”

Enraged, Pierce shoved the tablet into his men's arms and pulled him out of the office in a hurry.

Five minutes was a short time, but time seemed to slow down to the anxious Pierce, who had arrived in the conference room early and locked the door with his authority and paced back and forth in front of the glass table.

"Alexander, what's going on? Do you have to pull us over now? ”

Congressman Rockwell got straight to the point as soon as he went online.

"That's right, A-class incident, don't tell me there's another alien invasion? Or New York? How exactly do you do your intelligence work? ”

The congresswoman opened her mouth to accuse, but the Asian American congressman found some signs that something was wrong:

"Mr. Minister, what about S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury?"

After he reminded him, several other councillors also found that the usual annoying one-eyed dragon black bald head who opened his mouth and closed his mouth to run the funds did not appear in the conference room today.

"Councilor Yan, you asked a good question."

Pierce walked up to a few light curtains, and said in a serious tone:

"Our topic this time is closely related to Nick Fury, and after careful investigation, it was discovered that he was the mastermind behind the hijacking of the Rimoria Star two days ago."

"Wait, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., hijacking his own research ship? You're really not kidding? ”

The bearded congressman interrupted his speech, and the others were also puzzled.

"It's simple, because Nick Fury's true identity is the Hydra Remnant!"
