Marvel: Why should I save you? We are close friends.

In a hidden office of S.H.I.E.L.D., a figure sat quietly in front of the screen, his eyes fixed on the surveillance footage.

With a sly and satisfied smile on his face,

This person is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce.

"Nick Fury, you've come to this day." Pierce whispered to himself, his voice full of pride and sarcasm.

He was very satisfied that his plan had been carried out so perfectly.

He was originally afraid of the abilities of Chen Ye and Nick Fury, but now it seems that they are just pawns in his hands and can be easily controlled by him.

He was very satisfied with the success of his plan, and was very happy to see the frustrated performance of his arch-enemy Nick Fury.

Pierce was a little afraid of Chen Ye and Nick Fury's abilities before, but he didn't expect that a simple corpse would cause them to fight.

Although the variable Iron Man appeared in the middle, it was precisely because of Iron Man that the conflict between Chen Ye and SHIELD became more intense.

He is very conceited about his own wisdom and abilities, and thinks that both Chen Ye and Nick Fury are just clowns in his plan.

"Chen Ye, the Lord of Hell, and Nick Fury are nothing but clowns." Pierce laughed loudly toward the sky again.

Crossbones on the side also stepped forward and complimented Pierce, "Congratulations, Director. It seems that after tomorrow, S.H.I.E.L.D. will have to follow your lead."

Crossbones is well aware of Pierce's plan. He knows that if this handle falls into Hydra's hands, Nick Fury will no longer be able to serve as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He also knew very well that SHIELD had suffered a serious blow under Nick Fury's leadership, and now was the perfect opportunity for Pierce to take over.

Pierce seemed to be very pleased with Crossbones' compliment. He nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with ambition and greed.

He seemed to have seen the magnificent scene of himself taking control of S.H.I.E.L.D. and spreading their influence all over the world.

Suddenly, Pierce seemed to remember something, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Did our agent get hurt in the battle?"

Although he immediately notified his men to avoid the battle between Iron Man and Captain America, he still couldn't be completely at ease.

He was worried that innocent Hydra agents would be killed or injured in this battle, as they were important chess pieces in his plan to unify S.H.I.E.L.D.

Seeing this, Crossbones quickly replied, "Don't worry, Director. Thanks to your wise guidance, all our agents carried out their missions safely, and no one was injured. They know your care and will be grateful to you."

Upon hearing the news, Pierce smiled with satisfaction. He nodded and said, "We just lost a lot of agents today. These agents have been with me for so many years. It's time for them to move to other positions. I will assign them to important positions later."

Before, with Nick Fury there, several important departments were staffed by Fury's people, and it was difficult for Hydra's people to infiltrate. This time was a good opportunity, and they would be able to take control of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. very quickly.

Soon SHIELD will become their backyard.

And they will have a greater say in Hydra!

Crossbones was also filled with excitement when he heard Pierce's words.

He bowed deeply to Pierce and said gratefully, “On behalf of all the agents, I would like to thank you, Chief.

Pierce waved his hand, his face brimming with confidence and pride.

He took a deep breath and said loudly: "This is all for Hydra! Long live Hydra!"

Crossbones responded immediately: "Hail Hydra!" His voice was full of loyalty and enthusiasm.

Crossbones and Pierce are both from the same lineage of Hydra.

It seems that one can already see their lineage slowly growing stronger in Hydra.

Pierce's ambition did not stop there. He planned to infiltrate Hydra's power into every corner of S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to achieve his control over the entire organization.

He knows that this will take time and patience, but he is confident that he can achieve this goal.

Because he believed that under the banner of Hydra, their lineage would become more powerful and more glorious.

At this critical moment, Crossbones proposed a well-thought-out strategy to Pierce: "I have observed the superheroes of the Avengers, and I think we should turn our attention to them and try to win over some of them. In this way, we may be able to make them our pawns, and maybe even put the entire Avengers under our control."

When Pierce heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that if he could really control a group of superheroes, then achieving any goal would become easy.

He even began to imagine that if everything went well, he might really be able to become the leader of Hydra and realize his long-cherished ambition.

Pierce has always believed that his ability and wisdom are no less than anyone else, which is why he has been able to reach his current position.

He remembered that Nick Fury had once had a similar idea and successfully brought the Avengers together.

Pierce firmly believes that he can do the same with the right strategy.

He began to think carefully about the feasibility of this plan.

He knew that Hawkeye and Black Widow were Nick Fury's confidants, and it was almost impossible to win them over. Moreover, they were just ordinary people and did not have much value.

Captain America is a staunch fighter for justice. His position is very clear and he cannot be won over. However, he can be used. What happened today is the best example.

Just a useless corpse caused Captain America to be used as a gun and caused so much trouble for Nick Fury.

However, Pierce noticed the Fantastic Four.

They had just joined the Avengers and hadn't fully integrated into the team yet.

Moreover, they do not have a deep sense of loyalty to Nick Fury. The reason they joined the Avengers is more because of the resources and influence of SHIELD.

Pierce thought this was a good opportunity, so he decided to try to win over the Fantastic Four and make them his pawns.

He believed that if he promised to make Mr. Fantastic Reed the leader of the Avengers, they would likely be impressed by him.

So, Pierce said to Crossbones, "Go, invite the Fantastic Four over, and tell them I have something important to discuss with them."

His eyes were full of confidence and determination, as if he had already seen a future in which he controlled the Avengers.
