The extraordinary life of a certain American comic.

Chapter 39 Don't mess with career-minded women

"Ms. Hill, the bureau has agreed to your request."

"That's great, happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

After Locke finished speaking, he hung up the phone and looked at Walter Herman, the agent chief sitting opposite him.

Of the three conditions Hill proposed last night, he could only agree to the first one.

As for the last two, they require approval from the top brass in the bureau.

This is not.

Locke blocked his supervisor Walter Hermann in the underground parking lot early in the morning, reported the incident to him, and asked the latter to contact senior officials in Washington as soon as possible.

After receiving the news, the senior officials in Washington thought about it for a while and then agreed to it.

Just as Locke said.

Capturing mutants is just a job; what politicians want most is to expand their power.

and so……

It's a good deal.

After Locke put away the phone, he touched his chin and said to Walter Hermann: "The senior commander of SHIELD is not simple."

Walter Herman drank the coffee in his hand and glanced at Locke: "Is there any simple role that can survive in Washington?"

Locke shook his head.

This is the truth.

If the smartest people in Dong Ge's country are in Peking, then the smartest people in the Federation are in Washington... or Wall Street.

But he did overestimate Maria Hill at first.

After all, in Marvel's TV series, although Maria Hill is famous, she is not that outstanding.

When he saw Maria Hill in the bathroom yesterday, he was actually wondering if there was a chance they could become good friends.

However, after Maria Hill stated the conditions for cooperation, he immediately dismissed the idea.

In a word.

This woman must not be provoked.

Aegis is Aegis.

She is her.

In just a short while, Maria Hill figured out how to use this incident to gain benefits for herself.

Let SHIELD take the blame and get all the benefits.

If anyone said that Maria Hill was a simple woman, Locke would be the first to disagree with such an operation.

but……

"I've never heard of the director and deputy director of SHIELD not getting along."

"hehe."

Walter Hermann drank his coffee and smiled without saying a word.

Locke looked up and blinked.

"You know?"

"Just a little bit."

Walter Herman put down his coffee and said, "It was when you wanted to cooperate with SHIELD a month ago that I learned about it from the top leaders in Washington. You should know that our Sentinel Secret Service has cooperation with the military."

Locke nodded: "Colonel William Stryker."

William Stryker, Army Colonel and senior partner of Sentinel Secret Service.

Like Brown, he hates mutants because his wife was killed by mutants. He wants to eliminate all mutants in the world to bury his wife.

but……

Locke knew one more thing.

That is, William Stryker's son is also a mutant, and a famous master of illusion.

"In fact, Mr. Trask wanted to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Ok?"

Trask, whose full name is Bolivar Trask, is considered the founder of their Sentinel Special Service.

It was Bolivar Trask who discovered and invented the serum that specifically controls mutants.

But he is dead.

Just one month after the Sentinel Special Service was established, it was reported that it was assassinated by mutants.

But Locke declined to comment on whether it was true or not.

Anyway, he didn't kill her. Locke blinked: "What happened?"

Walter Herman said: "I don't know exactly what happened, but Ms. Peggy Carter, who was retired but still a consultant to SHIELD, agreed to cooperate, but the then director of SHIELD did not agree."

The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. at the time?
Locke thought about it.

"Alexander Pierce?"

"Ah."

Walter Herman nodded and grabbed his coffee cup again. "After that, Ms. Peggy Carter completely left S.H.I.E.L.D. It is said that Maria Hill was the last agent recruited by Ms. Peggy Carter before she completely left."

Maria Hill, Peggy Carter.

Nick Fury, Alexander Pierce.

Locke showed a look of realization on his face.

He seemed to understand.

Walter Hermann observed Locke's expression and also smiled.

"Understood?"

"Yeah, I got it."

Locke came back to his senses.

In Marvel movies, although Maria Hill is a senior commander of S.H.I.E.L.D. and has served as the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D., her performance is no different from that of Nick Fury's subordinates.

Although Maria Hill is indeed Nick Fury's subordinate.

But too loyal.

Locke was a little curious at first, but didn't think much about it. Now it seems that the reality is not so.

But this is also true.

Because from the perspective of politics and unspoken rules, generally speaking, the director and deputy director of a law enforcement agency must be in an antagonistic relationship.

This is the way it is, it is beneficial to both parties and even to others.

and so……

What is the situation now?

Maria Hill is from Peggy Carter's faction, while Nick Fury is from Alexander Pierce's faction.

And Blade is also Nick Fury's man.

This is the main reason why Maria Hill doesn't mind SHIELD taking the blame.

In this way, not only can Nick Fury be suppressed, but also benefits can be gained for one's own faction.

Locke's thoughts turned, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and asked Walter Herman: "But we still tore a piece of flesh from SHIELD, didn't we?"

Walter Hermann smiled again, leaned back in his boss chair, crossed his hands on his chest, and looked at Locke with a smile.

"In whose hands was the meat lost."

"……I understand."

Nick Fury is the current head of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Their Sentinelese Secret Service used this incident to expand their authority and succeeded. That was also what happened during Nick Fury's term of office.

What's up with Maria Hill?

Tsk tsk.

After Locke figured it out, he clicked his tongue twice and shook his head: "A career-minded woman is too scary."

Walter Herman listened to Locke's sigh and smiled: "Is this inspired by emotion?"

Locke looked up: "Huh?"

Walter Herman smiled and said, "Speaking of career ambition, isn't Esme the same? You've been married for half a year, have you been together for more than a month?"

Locke was stunned for a moment, then he stood up with a bang.

"Shit, what time is it?"

"Ten o'clock."

Walter Hermann looked at the time on his watch and was about to ask what was wrong when he saw Locke walking towards the door without looking back.

"Why are you going?"

"Pick up my wife!"

"…Not going to work anymore?"

"Fuck off!"

"..."
