Overwatch invades American comics

Chapter 21 Long live Hydra

People have always thought that with the end of World War II, the terrible Hydra disappeared.

But in fact, Hydra has been lurking in the shadow of SHIELD, using SHIELD to create panic and unrest around the world, seek profits, and wait for the day to see the light of day again.

William finally understood that those special forces were probably Hydra's men. No wonder they wanted to wipe out the entire gang after using the Skull Gang, because they didn't want to leave any clues. The secrets of Hydra must not be known to others.

But why would Hawkeye target the Skeleton Gang? Does it mean that SHIELD already knows about Hydra's lurking presence?
William rubbed his head, stood up, paid the bill, and walked out of the cafe with his notebook.

The sun shone on him, and he couldn't help but take out the USB flash drive again. He couldn't lose it, and he couldn't let anyone know about it. If he couldn't draw the hero Sombra, he'd better find the second-level password.

Since a person's biometric fingerprint is needed, this person must be very important and he must have a seat in Hydra. So who could it be?
"Ah!"

The Triskelion Building is the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. On the top floor of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, a white man is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside.

Although he was past middle age and his face showed traces of time, he was wearing a suit and his eyes showed wisdom, looking like an elegant old gentleman, until he sneezed.

Alexander Pierce, who used to work in the State Department, is now the Minister of S.H.I.E.L.D. He has the highest authority and is responsible for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s diplomacy and dealing with the World Security Council to obtain more resources and funds.

But in fact, he is the big boss of Hydra hidden in SHIELD. He has cultivated his own power in SHIELD. These people are loyal to Hydra. They have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the day when a new order will be established.

Pierce rubbed his nose. Why did he sneeze for no reason? Did someone just scold him?

Just then, there was a knock on the door and a bald man wearing glasses walked in.

Sitwell, on the surface, is a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but in fact he is also a Hydra agent lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Sir, I have found information about Tony Stark." Sitwell said as he entered the door.

Just three months ago, Tony Stark disappeared. While on his way to Afghanistan to sell arms, he was attacked by local armed terrorists and his whereabouts are unknown.

His disappearance caused a great uproar in the world. With the authorization of the government, SHIELD has been secretly looking for clues about him. The military has also sent out a commando team to conduct a carpet search. The top also issued the final order:
If you are alive, you want to see people, if you are dead, you want to see corpses!
But it is not easy to find a kidnapped person in turbulent Afghanistan. S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military have been searching for more than two months but have not found any news. Not to mention his body, not even a strand of his hair was found.

"Did you find him? Is he still alive?" Pierce frowned.

"No sir." Sitwell shook his head and said, "But I found out the information about those terrorists. They are called the Ten Rings Gang. The Ten Rings Gang is a well-known terrorist organization in the local area and has a strong armed force. And I found that they seem to have a connection with a senior executive of Stark Industries, who has been secretly funding them..."

"Who is it?" Sitwell's news immediately aroused Pierce's interest.

"Obadai Stan."

"I just think there's something wrong with that old fox." Pierce looked as if he had expected it and smiled slightly.

Obadiah Stane and Howard Stark co-founded Stark Industries. After Howard Stark's death, Tony Stark succeeded him as president. Obadiah assisted him on the surface, but in fact he was ambitious and had long wanted to monopolize power.

It seems that the old fox is definitely involved in Tony Stark's disappearance this time!
"Do you need me to tell Director Fury this news?" Sitwell asked.

"The information you can find, he can definitely find as well." Pierce waved his hand. "Do you have anything else to do? The World Security Council will have a meeting later." Just as he said this, Sitwell took off his glasses and wiped them with a glasses cloth.

This is a secret code between them, which means that what happens next cannot be heard by others. They must keep it absolutely confidential because it is related to Hydra!

"Closed office."

Huge protective panels suddenly rose from the French windows and walls, and the entire room was absolutely sealed. No one could hear their conversation. Pierce's expression was serious. "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. You don't have much time."

"Sir, the Skeleton Gang has been completely destroyed by S.H.I.E.L.D." Sitwell said in a deep voice.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Pierce sat down and said with a smile, "Nick Fury has been investigating the Skeleton Gang, but he hasn't found out about us yet. Now that the Skeleton Gang is destroyed, he has no clues. You know, the dead can't talk."

"But sir, there is still a problem..." Sitwell's smile was a little forced, "The ghost file is missing."

"Gone? What do you mean disappeared?" Pierce's face suddenly changed.

He knew that Sitwell must have something important to tell him when he came here today, but he didn't expect that it would be such bad news!

The members of the Skeleton Gang never imagined until their death that the force behind them was the terrifying Hydra.

Hydra uses the Skull Gang to gather intelligence and trade items. Under the appearance of gangster transactions, it is actually the protection of Hydra's secrets. In dangerous Brooklyn, all kinds of transactions happen every day, and no one will suspect it.

The Skull Gang has been cooperating with Hydra for more than half a year. During this period, the Skull Gang has developed rapidly and gradually become one of the largest gangs in Brooklyn.

However, the rapid development of the Skeleton Gang attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they even began to suspect the mysterious force behind them.

For Hydra, the Skeleton Gang is just a pawn, and when the pawns are useless, they lose their value. Now that SHIELD has noticed them, their only fate is death.

Ghost File is the real name of the USB flash drive. Only Pierce himself knows the secret inside. He is well aware of the seriousness of the matter. If the secret file is discovered by others, they will be in danger.

Hydra is still lurking in the darkness of S.H.I.E.L.D. They are not ready and cannot let the world know of their existence.

In order to protect the secrets inside, the ghost file is equipped with a self-destruct device. Once the self-destruction countdown begins, it will be irreversible. No matter whether the file is forcibly destroyed or the data connection is cut off, it will explode instantly.

Moreover, the explosion of the self-destruct device is very powerful, capable of destroying several blocks. Only the second level password can deactivate the self-destruct countdown. It seems that the person who stole the ghost file has not yet opened it, otherwise the news of the explosion would have spread long ago.

"We sent out a task force to carry out the clearing operation, and it was going smoothly at the beginning..."

Sitwell's forehead was covered with sweat. "But an unknown attacker stole the target. The task force went to chase him, but they ran into Hawkeye on the way. Only one person from the entire task force came back alive!"

Good night~
