Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

"Mr. Zhao Chen, how come they've all collapsed?"

Janil Smith asked the question with trembling hands.

"I don't know either. Maybe your men aren't good drinkers? And then they got drunk. I have to say, your men's alcohol tolerance is really terrible. One bottle was all they could handle."

Zhao Chen put on an innocent expression, indicating that he knew nothing and that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Janil Smith didn't believe Zhao Chen's explanation, but he didn't dare to ask any further questions. He then picked up his coffee and prepared to take a sip.

·· ······Requesting flowers···· ···

But seeing his subordinate lying unconscious on the ground, drugged by Zhao Chen, he didn't dare drink the coffee in his hand, so he awkwardly put it down after picking it up.

Zhao Chen found it particularly funny to see Janie Smith's expression.

"All your men are lying here asleep. I think you should get some rest too."

Before Janil Smith could understand what Zhao Chen meant by those words, he saw a fist appear in front of him.

boom!

With a bang, the pitiful Janil Smith was knocked unconscious by Zhao Chen. However, it was a good thing for Janil Smith, as he was free.

The ground was covered with Hydra agents. Zhao Chen considered controlling them and extracting information from them, but ultimately decided against it.

Because these Hydra agents all have poison in their mouths, you can't get anything out of them by questioning.

However, people like Sitwell and the person in front of him only need a threat to know the truth. The main reason is that there are too many Hydra agents, and Zhao Chen doesn't want to deal with them.

There was no further movement, and Zhao Chen didn't plan to bother Tony. Zhao Chen thought of Bucky, whose situation was a potential threat to them.

Zhao Chen thought that Tony should vent his anger on Alexander Pierce first, so that it would be a little easier to deal with him later.

Wanting to play with these things, Zhao Chen tossed the grenade he was about to explode into his spatial bracelet.

Chapter 725 The Captain and the Others Return to Base

Time is frozen inside Zhao Chen's spatial bracelet, so it won't explode. Having a grenade that's about to explode inside the spatial bracelet is actually quite useful.

He could use it whenever he wanted to plot against someone, and it was always effective. Zhao Chen then returned to his chair, leaned back, and closed his eyes.

When Zhao Chen opened his eyes, he was in the Rainbow Bridge Control Hall in Asgard. There were two people standing in front of him, one of whom was Thor.

The other was Heimdall, the gatekeeper of Asgard. Zhao Chen looked at Heimdall, smiled, and then focused his gaze on Thor's body.

How are your preparations going?

Heimdall snorted and didn't speak to Zhao Chen, because Zhao Chen had often introduced him to doctors who treated cataracts when they were in Asgard.

"I'm all ready, and I'm just waiting for you."

Thor reached out to pat Zhao Chen's shoulder, but his hand passed right through Zhao Chen's body instead of touching him, which made Thor very embarrassed.

"Alright, then wait for my signal in Asgard! I still have some things to take care of here."

Zhao Chen did not go to Asgard to meet Thor; it was his consciousness that went to Asgard. After saying this, Zhao Chen's consciousness returned to his body.

"Tony, how's it going on your end? Did he answer all the questions you asked him?"

Zhao Chen asked Tony a question through the earpiece.

"He's in a daze now. He hasn't said anything for so long, but instead he's shown extreme fanaticism towards Hydra."

Tony said this without any emotion.

"Then let him stay in there by himself. Things have come to this. What we need to do is to finish the job. Once all the Hydras have been captured, you will know the answer you are looking for."

Tony didn't get the answer he wanted, and Zhao Chen knew Tony must be feeling bad, so he said these words to comfort him.

"Ah."

Then they stopped talking, and at this time the captain and the others returned to their base.

Banner and Betty Ross found a wheelchair and pushed Nick Fury outside while they waited for the others to return.

Nick Fury immediately spoke as soon as he saw the captain and his group.

"I'm finally back. Take me to headquarters right now. If Zhao Chen and Stark rush over to find Pierce like this, something bad is bound to happen."

"With the two of them together, it's always others who get hurt, but no one can harm them. You can put your mind at ease, Nick."

Natasha had absolute confidence in Zhao Chen.

"They stormed straight into S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters all by themselves, and went to find Pierce, who is our Minister of Protection. You guys didn't care at all."

Nick Fury found this extremely unbelievable.

“Nick, I need to correct you, Alexander Pierce. He’s a Hydra agent. Don’t argue with that; we’ve already confirmed it.”

The captain spoke first.

“Although he’s a Hydra agent, she’s now the head of the Department of Protection. If the two of them go straight to Pierce, how are they going to explain it to the others?”

A hint of anger flashed across Nick Fury's face. Nick Fury was the kind of person who liked to have everything under his control...

But now everything is out of his control, and he feels that the situation is spiraling out of his control, which makes him dissatisfied.

"As long as he proves to the public that he is a Hydra agent, tells everyone that the Insight Project is extremely evil, and tells everyone the truth, wouldn't that be enough to explain things?"

Peggy Carter spoke.

“These things cannot be said. Once they are said, S.H.I.E.L.D. will no longer be trusted by others, and they may even think that S.H.I.E.L.D. is unnecessary to exist.”

At this point, Nick Fury became very excited and slammed his hand on the table.

“Nick, we’ve discussed this before, and I remember telling you that S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra don’t need to exist; they just need to exist in history.”

Nobody's going to listen to Nick now, and the Avengers had already discussed this matter internally. Captain America's 4.3 episode left Nick speechless.

At this moment, Nick turned his attention to Agent Hill, hoping that Agent Hill would step forward and say a word on his behalf.

"Director, I think they have a point."

Sensing Nick's gaze, Agent Hill uttered these words calmly, and Nick Fury, having received no support, couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, let's do it your way. So what do we do now? We can't just send these few people straight to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, can we?"

"Before we could even attack, all of Hydra's men had already fled."

Chapter 726 Seeking Help

"Another possibility is that there could be infighting within S.H.I.E.L.D., in which case people who shouldn't have died might die."

"What we need now is a very strong armed force to intervene in this matter and take control of everyone in the building."

"Finally, we will wipe out all the Hydra agents hiding within S.H.I.E.L.D."

When Peggy Carter said these words, it was as if she could already see their victory.

“But we don’t have that kind of armed force right now, Ms. Kate. Even if we ask for help from other places, they probably won’t believe us and think we’re causing trouble there,”

Nick Fury, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., frequently dealt with people from those departments, so he knew very well what kind of people they were.

Moreover, there are many Hydra agents in the 27th department. If they seek help, the situation will likely escalate further.

"If we find someone with power who is willing to help us, and who isn't affiliated with Hydra, wouldn't this matter be resolved smoothly?"

Peggy Carter had already figured out what they were going to do when she said those words.

"Ms. Carter, if only things were as easy as you say. Our situation is so urgent, how could we possibly find someone like that in such a short time?"

"Are you referring to Rhodes? But Rhodes doesn't have any power."

It was 100% certain that Rhodes wasn't a Hydra agent, and yet he was very willing to help them with this. Nick Fury only had Rhodes in his mind.

“Nicole, it’s not him.”

At this moment, Peggy Carter turned her gaze to Betty Ross.

“I know my father very well; he will not help us.”

After sensing Peggy Carter's gaze, Betty Ross immediately understood and spoke up.

"Captain Ross said he would definitely not help us. Before the recent war, he even tried to arrest me. Not only that, Zhao Chen also gave him a good scolding."

"Captain Ross is probably only thinking about how to capture us right now, how could he possibly help us?"

After Betty Ross finished speaking, Banner also expressed his disagreement. Then Banner thought of how Zhao Chen had angered Captain Ross to the point of jumping up and down in frustration.

"Don't worry, he will help us."

Peggy Carter said these words with great confidence, and then gave a confident smile.

“If we bring down Alexander Pierce now, then Captain Ross will become the strongest contender for the position of Minister of Protection.”

"This time, anyone who is close to Stark will support him, and the position of Minister of Protection will definitely be his."

Peggy Carter was looking at Betty Ross the whole time she was saying this.

"There are still two years until the election for the highest leadership position. If your father can sit in the position of Minister of Protection, then he can still try for the highest leadership position."

“Tell him these things, and he will definitely agree. So call your father now and tell him these things, Betty.”
