Rise of an Empire

Pierce is a smart man, as can be seen from the fact that he took the initiative to promote Nick Fury to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Maybe this guy's ability is not the top talent, but he is definitely an outstanding talent in terms of understanding people and self-awareness.

The two talked in the office for half an hour, and Pierce made the final decision and agreed to Conrad's request.

Just as the Duke thought, Pierce is not a die-hard loyalist of Hydra. The reason why he joined Hydra is that in addition to his ancestors being the inherited family of Hydra, the more important reason is that he wants to rely on Hydra. use internal resources to maximize benefits for yourself.

The so-called loyal Hydra are actually cannon fodder at the bottom. Who would sacrifice their own interests for a fictional dream if they really reach the top?

People who really think this way will never get a high-level position.

In a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, the two quickly reached a consensus.

Conrad will provide Pierce with a certain degree of assistance within the scope of his ability to help him ascend to the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D. as soon as possible, and will also provide a certain amount of financial support to S.H.I.E.L.D.

What Pierce has to do is help Conrad place a few candidates.

Although it is said that once those candidates are placed, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. will have almost no secrets for Conrad, but what does that kind of thing have to do with Pierce?

The most correct way to open it is for public use and private use, isn't it?

"Go to the Pentagon." After walking out of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Duke felt a little depressed and said directly to the driver.

Coming to S.H.I.E.L.D. to set up a free game for himself was an unintentional move. Conrad's real target was the Cosmic Cube in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s warehouse.

Athena asked Conrad to bring her an Infinity Stone so that she could be fully resurrected, in exchange for giving him control of the Garden of the Gods.

To be honest, if Conrad can directly control the Garden of the Gods now, it will be like reaching the sky in one step. It is like having his own small world and directly becoming a super strong man who controls the power of rules.

Even if Thanos comes directly to kill him now, the Duke is still confident that he can have an arm-wrestle with him to see who is more powerful.

But, if anyone really believes what that woman Athena said, they must be out of their minds.

Conrad dared to bet with his toes that if he really handed over the Infinity Stones to the other party, Athena would definitely swallow him directly after she regained her true form.

That was a wolf fire who could plot the entire Greek pantheon to death in order to seize the throne of the God King. He would never seek death before he had overwhelming strength.

However, although the Cosmic Cube will not be given to Athena, it can still be used to study the space power inside.

The last time he was accidentally teleported to the Garden of the Gods, causing him to waste eight years there, Conrad didn't want to encounter that situation again.

The two forces of time and space are the most mysterious and difficult to control. Even with his current strength, he has no clue about these two forces.

Fortunately, the time gem and the space gem are both on the earth. As long as you have nothing to do and study them carefully, you should be able to study them.

In the past, he didn't dare to study the Cosmic Cube, mainly because he was afraid that if he didn't get it right, it would trigger the plot in advance and lead to a large-scale invasion by the Chitauri, but now

I have Gadot on my left and Phoenix on my right, with two level five masters at my base. What cannon fodder Chitauri are I afraid of?

As for whether it will cause harm to civilians?

Your Excellency, the Duke is not a Holy Mother. Are there any immortals in a war?

In the original book, the idiots in the Avengers protect the people on earth too well, and as a result, whenever something bad happens, a bunch of people will scream everywhere.

If you let the Chitauri clear New York first, and then let Ultron destroy two countries, you can be sure that no matter how hard the Avengers fight, no one will dare to fart.

There is no way, human nature is like this, the so-called innocent people do not dare to face the murderer, they only dare to speak nonsense to the people who protect them.

Originally, according to Conrad's idea, he came to borrow the Space Demon
