The Void Walker in American Comics...

Chapter 35 Pierce

Shortly after they returned to Stark Industries, a group of guys in suits also came to Stark Industries. They were looking for Howard.

"I heard you were attacked. How was it? Are you not hurt?"

The leader was a man about the same age as Howard. As soon as he entered the door, he asked Howard.

"I'm fine, Pierce." Although Howard was wary of these guys, he remained calm. "Those guys were dealt with by Mu En alone!"

This guy is one of the people who knows about the super soldier potion. Until he can be sure who the traitor is, he must remain vigilant.

After hearing Howard's words, Pierce turned to look at Moon who was sitting on the sofa next to him.

"You are Mu En, right?" Pierce came to Mu En, smiled and stretched out his hand. "If it weren't for you, Howard and his wife would have died at the hands of those terrorists."

Pierce looked very frightened and seemed to be very worried about the safety of his old friend.

Holding the other person's hand, Mu En replied with a smile:
"Howard used his shares in exchange for my protection. I can't let him down, right?"

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Pierce.

The moment Howard said the other person's name, Moon knew his identity. After all, this person made an indispensable contribution to S.H.I.E.L.D. becoming SHIELD.

After talking with Mu En, Pierce also stated his purpose.

"I came here, firstly to check on you, and secondly because we will be the ones handling this attack. Don't worry, we will investigate it thoroughly and catch all the terrorists!"

Since they are going to take over this incident, then everything related to this incident must also be taken over by them.

For example, the soldiers killed by Mu En, and Buggy captured by Mu En.

"Stop it!" Mu En stretched out his hand to block him. "Although I don't know who you are, if you want to take over this incident, you can investigate it yourself. Why do you take my spoils?"

Mu En came here just to disrupt the situation. He wanted to see how the Hydra leader would react.

"Those are all key evidence, so they naturally need to be handed over to us for safekeeping! Besides, one of them is a former member of the Howling Commandos, and we have a lot of questions to ask him!"

Pierce frowned slightly. This was the procedure they had to go through, and the same principle would apply even if they handed it over to the FBI.

"Hmm..." Mu En nodded. "You have a good reason. Why don't we ask together?"

Now, Pierce couldn't sit still. The reason he took over was to prevent Hydra's information from being exposed, but now Moon En insisted on intervening, which made things difficult.

"What? Do you have any shameful means?" Mu En put his arm around Pierce's shoulders and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm an expert at interrogating me, and I might be even more cruel than you!"

Now Pierce was speechless. If he insisted on taking over all the evidence, he would probably be suspected by the other party.

And the other party has already said that his interrogation skills are very good. They can't use humanitarianism to suppress the other party, right? It was the Howards who were almost killed in the attack, not these guys.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Mu En patted the other party's shoulder.

"Come on, that guy should be awake by now. Generally, a brainwashed person will regain his sanity after a severe blow to the head. Let's go see what this guy knows!"

Looking at Moon walking towards the laboratory, Pierce felt bad. Although Bucky had never seen him, Bucky had always been controlled by Hydra. Once he regained his sanity, the secret of Hydra would be exposed.

But he didn't have any good solution now. The people he brought might not be Mu En's opponents.

After all, the other party was under the attack of an entire elite team and a Winter Soldier, and all of them were wiped out in one fell swoop. Such strength is not something he can afford to provoke.

"What are you still standing there for? Come here!"

Mu En stood at the door of the laboratory and looked at everyone.

“No!!!!” With a roar, pictures appeared in Bucky’s mind.

"Longing...Rusty...Seventeen...Dawn...Furnace..."

Voices sounded in his mind, some unrelated words spoken in Russian, and these words were the instructions that controlled him.

Just when he was about to be controlled by the voice, a sudden voice came to his ears.

"What are you yelling about?" This voice interrupted the voice in his head and brought him back from being controlled.

Opening his eyes, there were two men standing in front of him, one young and one old.

"Looks like you're in pretty good shape!" Mu En raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Bucky shook his head. Although Moon's voice brought him back from control, he really didn't know Moon.

"Do you know him, then?"

Looking in the direction of Moon's finger, Bucky's eyes widened, and the memories of being controlled before came back to him.

"Howard... I... I was sent to assassinate Howard and take back the things in Howard's car!" His expression suddenly became terrified, and he held his head and trembled on the bed. "No, Howard is my friend, I can't do that!"

Seeing that this guy was beginning to become abnormal, Howard stepped forward and comforted him: "I'm fine! What did you go through after the accident?"

After hearing Howard's words, Bucky's expression gradually relaxed and he recalled his own experience.

"I was taken to a secret base. It was a Soviet base on the surface, but it was actually a Hydra base..."

As he spoke, Howard finally understood that, just like Moon said, Bucky was brainwashed by Hydra and was sent to assassinate him.

Howard fell into deep thought after looking at Pierce who was standing next to Moon.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with Pierce at the moment, but we still can't let our guard down until we find the traitor!"

He was well aware of the significance of the Super Soldier Potion. Although the Super Soldier Potion he restored might not be comparable to Dr. Erskine's original potion, it still had a strong effect.

"Pierce, it looks like our old rival is back!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect Hydra to be so hidden. If it weren't for this attack, we probably wouldn't have noticed it at all!"

Pierce nodded seriously and said solemnly: "I will send agents to look for their traces, and I hope to find something!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with his men.

After sending Pierce away, Howard frowned. He didn't find anything unusual from Pierce. This guy might not really be a traitor.

"What do you think of Pierce?"

"He is a cunning old man." Mu En crossed his legs and sneered, "Good acting skills!"

Good acting skills?

Howard was stunned for a moment and looked at Mu En. He wanted to hear Mu En's thoughts.

"Don't think about it. I felt something was wrong when this guy came. I don't know how close you are, but in my opinion, this guy has bad intentions!"

Mu En waved his hands, collapsed on the sofa and groaned.
