Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

“Steve, let’s not rush. Let’s go to the base first. Those two are so fast, by the time we get there, it’ll probably be over.” “Besides, ordinary missiles can’t hurt them at all. Let’s go find Nick and discuss a perfect remedial plan with him.”

Peggy Carter remained calm. Washington was the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., a place with elite agents and powerful field teams, and was said to be the safest location.

On the top floor of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters is Alexander Pierce's office, where he is the head of the Department of Protection.

He was the previous director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and for that reason, he also oversaw communication between the security services and S.H.I.E.L.D., which is why his office is here.

Alexander Pierce was also one of the leaders of Hydra, and he was arguably the highest-ranking and most powerful person in the organization.

Although Dr. Zola's consciousness is inside the computer, his thoughts and stance remain, but he lacks knowledge about normal human behavior.

Therefore, Alexander Pierce stood out from the crowd. Hydra had infiltrated these internal personnel, and he was essentially the head. ... Please give me some flowers. ...

He knew that even if Hydra cut off one head, they could grow two more. They used this survival strategy to exploit the power he held.

Their influence extends beyond S.H.I.E.L.D. and its internal operations; they also support Hydra organizations operating outside the organization.

Alexander Pierce firmly believed that Hydra was now in his hands and could create a completely new world.

...He was a very powerful and confident leader, but he was driven to distraction by Zhao Chen and his group's unconventional methods.

One missile failed to kill Nick Fury and even led the Avengers to Dr. Zola's location, but the second missile was intercepted.

Sitwell and the Winter Soldier also disappeared without a trace, which caused Alexander Pierce great unease.

"We must master the technology of the Chitauri immediately. I feel we don't have much time left, and Project Insight must begin right away."

"Once the carrier is in the air, we will have won."

After saying this, Alexander Pierce hung up the phone, and an explosion occurred the instant he hung up.

Alexander Pierce's office had a glass exterior that could withstand missiles, but Zhao Chen shattered it with a single punch.

Sensing danger, Alexander Pierce instinctively covered his head without making a sound. He opened his eyes and saw... a mountain.

Chapter 720 Taking Action Without Hesitation

Then he saw Iron Man fully armed, all the weapons on his right hand were activated and pointed at him.

Alexander Pierce had been in a high position for many years, so even when he saw Iron Man in full armor, he didn't react at all.

He was originally going to open the drawer and take out the gun, but after seeing who it was, he withdrew his hand and decided not to take the gun out.

“Stark and Mr. Zhao Chen, if you want to see me, you should first make an appointment with my secretary and then come to my office to meet me.” “670” Alexander Pierce sat steadily in his chair and said these words to Zhao Chen and Tony.

To remain calm and composed in the face of such a situation is truly remarkable. However, Tony is now consumed by hatred, so it means nothing to him.

Tony stepped forward, grabbed Alexander Pierce by the neck, and slowly lifted his feet off the ground, making him float in the air.

“I came to find you not to find out if you are a member of Hydra, but to find out who gave the order to murder my parents.”

Alexander Pierce, with his feet off the ground, appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. He was well aware that his identity as a Hydra agent had been exposed.

However, Tony discovered Howard Stark's accident, which shocked Pierce. Pierce was also curious about how much Tony and the others knew.

Alexander Pierce wanted to get some information out of Tony to find out how much intelligence they had.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. I don’t know anything about Hydra, and I don’t know that your parents were murdered. Besides, didn’t your parents die in a car accident?” Then Pierce heard the sound of Tony’s laser cannon in his left hand energizing, followed by a bang.

Alexander Pierce was utterly astonished. In his disbelief, Tony raised his laser cannon and blasted through his right leg. "Ah!"

No matter how skilled or calm Pierce was, he could still feel the pain from the laser cannon and let out a huge scream.

But Tony ignored Pierce's screams and continued coldly, "Stop talking nonsense."

Zhao Chen and Tony broke through the glass and forced their way into the building. The building's alarm had already gone off when they arrived.

However, the entire top floor was staffed with clerical personnel, some of whom had received martial arts training. But when they saw that the people who came were Zhao Chen and Tony, no one dared to make a move.

However, they believed that the armed men downstairs were frantically rushing upstairs.

The commotion outside made Zhao Chen turn around, glance at it, and then say something to Tony and Pierce.

“Pierce, we’re not here to lecture you today, and we don’t care about the consequences. You should be a smart man; you know what to do.” “Tony, you continue questioning her in the office. I’ll go deal with those people outside and come find you in a bit.” With that, Zhao Chen left the office. The corridor outside was now packed with staff…

Some people were checking what was happening inside the office, while others were calling for help from downstairs.

Although they were civilian staff, some of them were armed. When they saw Zhao Chen come out, they all took out their guns.

These people all pointed their guns at Zhao Chen, but none of them dared to fire a shot at him.

Seeing the dark muzzles of more than a dozen guns aimed at him, Zhao Chen laughed. He took a step forward, while the dozens of people in the corridor simultaneously took a step back.

There are many videos circulating about Zhao Chen's performance in the last battle, and everyone knows how powerful he is.

Facing such a formidable opponent, the fact that these civilian staff members could still stand here and not run away was already a very courageous act. "I've decided to give you a day off today, so you can go back and rest now. We're just here to talk to Pierce about something related to 4.1."

Some people in the corridor wanted to leave, but they were worried that their actions would anger Zhao Chen and cause him to attack them, so they stood there, unsure of what to do.

Zhao Chen noticed their hesitation and then spoke his words. After he finished speaking, the group looked at each other, but none of them left.

One of the men in a suit couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to ask Zhao Chen a question.

"Mr. Zhao Chen, thank you for protecting us in the last great battle. We also have great respect for you, Avengers."

Chapter 721 Let's Chat

"But I really want to ask, why treat Pierce, the leader, this way? He's such a good guy."

Zhao Chen couldn't help but agree with what the other person said. He sighed and, after thinking for a moment, decided to tell them everything.

“Your respected and admired leader, Pierce, is actually a member of Hydra. You may not know that he is currently plotting a horrific massacre of people all over the world.” Zhao Chen’s words stunned everyone. They stared at Zhao Chen in disbelief. Zhao Chen glanced at them and then spoke again.

“Not only is he a Hydra agent, but there are many Hydra agents in this building. I don’t know if you believe it, but that’s the truth.” “If you stay here, you can’t do anything. Wait a minute, the action team downstairs will be coming up fully armed. I don’t want any accidental injuries.”

"So you'd better get down here right now! Leave immediately."

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he clapped his right hand, and the internal force in his palm turned into a palm wind that blew out.

In this relatively cramped environment, it swept through like a category 10 typhoon. People in the corridor lost their balance and began to sway from side to side.

“I only used a little force, and you were all blown around like this. You can believe me or you can believe Pierce, but you’ll only be a burden if you stay here, understand?” After Zhao Chen finished speaking, they looked at each other again, put down their guns in perfect unison, and left down the corridor.

What Zhao Chen said made a lot of sense. No matter what the reason or whose side they were on, staying here would be useless and would only be a burden.

After dismissing all the clerical staff, Zhao Chen moved a stool to the side and sat down by the door, waiting for the support personnel to come up from downstairs.

A minute or two later, two squads of armed men arrived, led by Janil Smith.

This person was also a Hydra agent. He was a Hydra agent who replaced Brock Rumlow and became the team leader. When he learned that Pierce was in trouble, he immediately led his men over.

Janil Smith was very confident in himself because he had brought only Hydra agents with him, and he was carrying new weapons developed by the Chitauri.

Even if they faced two of the most powerful members of the Avengers, they were confident they could defeat them.

Having confidence is a good thing, but being overly confident is not. Moreover, reality is always much harsher than ideals.

When Janis Smith finally arrived and saw Zhao Chen for the first time, both teams stopped in their tracks, and some even showed signs of collapse.

Zhao Chen slumped in a chair, his feet resting on three boxes containing new types of individual hand grenades, which they recognized.

There was a half-empty bottle of beer on top of the box, and a cigar in the ashtray, which was burning.

They didn't know if the box was empty or stuffed full of missiles. Behind Zhao Chen's chair and on both sides, there were neat rows of missiles.

It completely surrounded Zhao Chen from three directions. In this way, there should be more than a dozen missiles visible to the naked eye, and the warheads of all these missiles were pointing upwards.

Moreover, there were machine guns on the boxes on both sides, and they were six-barreled machine guns.

Those who were initially confident of taking down Tony Stark and Zhao Chen had their confidence completely shattered after witnessing Zhao Chen's imposing aura.

There's no way to fight this. If Zhao Chen fires, this whole building will probably be destroyed. At the same time, they are also very curious about how Zhao Chen has so many missiles.

Seeing the people appear before him, Zhao Chen put his feet down, sat up straight in the chair, and smiled at Janil Smith and his two teams. Zhao Chen's smile gave them the illusion that they were longtime friends. Moreover, Zhao Chen extended his right hand and waved to them very warmly.

"You're here! Come on over and chat for a bit."

Janie Smith's feelings were very complicated. They didn't have the guts to open fire on Zhao Chen now, as the weapons here could destroy the entire building to the ground.

It's impossible to fight Zhao Chen in close combat without weapons; fighting Zhao Chen hand-to-hand is worse than running into a wall.

It was very quiet on Janil Smith's side, but Zhao Chen didn't care what she was thinking. Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhao Chen used his right hand to move the muzzle of her six-barreled machine gun to the side.

He fired two shots lightly, and the Hydra agent opposite him was scared half to death, almost dropping his gun.

"I asked you to come over and chat with me for a while, but you just stood there without saying a word. It seems you're not giving me face."

Chapter 722 Please have coffee or tea

"Since you're showing me no respect, I'll have no choice but to shoot you."

At this moment, Janil Smith finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, as if trying to muster some courage.

He swung his arm and then shouted something in a cheering manner, but he didn't dare to shout too loudly, for fear that Zhao Chen would make a move again.

Finally, he walked towards Zhao Chen. Despite all the preparations he had made, Janil Smith was still very stiff as he walked towards Zhao Chen.

"I don't understand what you're trying to do? But Mr. Zhao Chen, what are you... trying to do?"

After walking up to Zhao Chen, Janil Smith mustered all his courage and began to say some polite words to him.

Halfway through his sentence, Zhao Chen suddenly bent down and lowered his head, interrupting Janie Smith's words.
