In the afternoon, Pierce came.

He was followed by two people, one was Rumlow, and the other looked not young.

"Mr. Lane, it's a pleasure to meet you again." Pierce smiled and quickly stepped forward to take Ryan's hand.

Ryan stood up straight, smiling reservedly, while Pierce had a bright smile and bowed slightly.

Such a contrast made the eyes of the young man behind him flicker.

He looked at Ryan, then turned his head to see the heroes in the room who had become famous for the Battle of New York, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a shallow arc.

"What's this name?" Ryan asked a question suddenly, he immediately looked at Ryan, restrained his smile, lowered his head and said humbly, "I'm Daniel Whitehall, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ryan." ”

Ryan nodded slightly, his face calm.

Seeing this, Pierce rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Sir, Daniel is a veteran member of Hydra, he is a very capable elite, I believe he will be able to bring you a lot of help." ”

Hearing this, Ryan chuckled lightly, turned around and said, "Come with me." ”

The four of them walked to the side room. 33

After the door closed, a few people in the living room who didn't seem to pay attention to them began to communicate.

"Zemo, do you know the newcomer?" Yelena asked.

Zemo smiled and shook his head: "I'm just an ordinary peripheral member of Hydra, and that person seems to be the upper echelon of Hydra." ”

Jessica leaned on Yelena's shoulder, "To be honest, I don't think Hydra is a good person, what do you think?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became much quieter.

After a moment, Sharon spoke, "Hydra is certainly not a good person, and there is nothing to discuss about this. ”

Zemo glanced at Antonia, who had not made a sound from beginning to end, before he said: "We have a cooperative relationship with Hydra, there is no need to doubt this, but at the same time, we must not forget that although Ryan does not directly control Hydra now, Hydra can also be roughly regarded as one of his forces." With that, he glanced at Jessica.

Jessica bit her lip in embarrassment, and just as she was talking, Yelena pressed her head and preemptively said, "Sooner or later, Hydra will be absorbed by us, just like the Red Room." ”

"I believe, but it's not something that can be done in a short period of time." Zemo smiled, "Besides, Ryan said that Hydra has been hit and split many times, and now there are many branches of Hydra around the world. If we take direct control of Pierce's branch, then the other Hydras will immediately find out that there is a change of leader here, which is equivalent to us directly exposing ourselves to the other Hydras. Others can ignore that, because Hydra is supposed to be hidden in the light, but we're different. ”

If the other Hydras found out that half of the famous Avengers of World War I in New York were Hydra, they would definitely be so excited that they couldn't sleep, and then they would try to dig out the benefits from the rich relatives of the Snake Shield Bureau.

Jessica thought for a moment and said, "Then why didn't they look for Pierce?" ”

Zemo shook his head and said, "How do you know they didn't look for it?" In other words, there must have been a lot of interest transfer between them before, and Pierce has been in contact with them for a long time as the spokesperson of the Snake Shield Bureau, and although they are not of the same mind, they have already established trust. ”

"That's why Ryan didn't choose to get rid of Pierce, but instead helped him." Yelena said as she pressed Jessica's thigh.

Jessica sighed helplessly: "Okay, you're all smart, I'm stupid." ”

At this time, Red smiled and said, "I don't think that person will live long." ”

"Ah, who?"

"The guy who came in with Pierce just now, he's not a small one, and he's ...... Ryan asked his name. ”

"Isn't it normal to ask for a name?"

Red smiled and said, "It should be normal when I was doing something else, but I didn't think it should be just now, because Ryan wasn't a very curious person since he was a child." ”

Gabriel sat on the sidelines, listening to the discussion and observing their expressions.

She slowly realized that although this group of people said that Hydra was not a good person, as Ryan's subordinates, they didn't seem to be good people either.

-----------------

"Sit." Ryan said softly.

"Thank you, sir!"

Pierce bowed in thanks, his posture very low.

Rumlow didn't make a sound, but his movements were similar to Pierce's.

Seeing this, Daniel also silently followed.

Ryan took four glasses and poured the wine as he asked, "How are you doing?" ”

Pierce rubbed his legs like a nervous job seeker, his old face squeezing out wrinkles with a smile.

"Sir, we've been doing well lately, and I know Nick Fury well, so as long as I'm not moving, he's not going to get any grip. Moreover, the people you arranged are very capable, and Mr. Red's position is also important, and the current counteroffensive within S.H.I.E.L.D. is very effective, and our forces are already on the verge of suppressing Nick Fury. ”

Hearing this, Ryan shook his head slightly: "If you really think so, then you will underestimate him." ”

Pierce did not refute, let alone hesitate, but directly followed his words and said, "Please advise." ”

"I can't talk about advice. Don't you say it, you know Nick Fury very well, then you should know that his strength is not much weaker than you, your advantage lies in the many Hydra shadows left by you when you served as the director in the past, as well as the suppression of him by your current position, as well as the accumulation of Hydra over the years and you have been in the shadows. ”

"Yes."

"And do you know the Nick Fury advantage?"

"He's the director."

"That's right. He is the director of the bureau, no matter what others think, no matter what the situation in the bureau is, as long as he is the director for a day, then he controls all the power up and down the S.H.I.E.L.D., and others can restrain him, but they can't deny his position. Besides, you don't even know how many arrangements he made secretly, how many bases he built, and how many agents he bought, how dare you say that you have begun to suppress him? ”

Ryan glanced at Pierce.

Pierce smiled stiffly and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I was too self-righteous."

Ryan didn't say anything more.

He doesn't think Pierce is really self-righteous or arrogant, the root cause may be because he wants Ryan to think that he has done a good job, or he wants to leave some "weakness" in front of Ryan.

But whatever the reason, it doesn't matter.

As long as he's still doing things, as long as he's not betrayed, he's still a good tool.

Some people died, but not completely......
