Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

Peggy Carter's words were very convincing, and although Betty still had a slight doubt, she still made the call.

After Captain Ross answered the phone, Betty Ross recounted the whole story, but she didn't mention Peggy Carter's subsequent analysis.

Betty Ross had intended to say something, but Peggy Carter stopped her. Captain Ross was a smart man; she knew that if she said it all, the other person would understand, and there was no need to be too direct.

After Betty Ross finished speaking, Captain Ross was silent for a few seconds, then asked another question: whether Alexander Pierce was a member of Hydra.

After receiving an affirmative answer, he agreed, and Captain Ross 110 was currently at a nearby base and could set off immediately.

Without hesitation, the captain and his team immediately set off in their fighter jet towards Zhao Chen's location. On the way, Natasha contacted Zhao Chen.

They told Zhao Chen everything about their situation.

"The old Eastern saying is still true: 'A treasure in the family is like an old man.' Compared to Ms. Kat, our captain, a centenarian, is really too useless."

As Zhao Chen spoke, he was still playing with the grenade in his right hand, while a group of very embarrassed soldiers stood in front of him.

Captain Ross, a very powerful figure in the department, arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters with a large entourage of hundreds of vehicles.

"Non-S.H.I.E.L.D. armed forces are not allowed to enter S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. You need to explain your purpose, but before that, you must withdraw from our S.H.I.E.L.D."

There are defensive iron gates on the S.H.I.E.L.D. bridge, and those gates are now tightly closed.

Chapter 727 Captain Ross Enters S.H.I.E.L.D.

There is a fixed communicator next to it, and the sound comes from the communicator.

The door of the first car opened, and Captain Ross got out.

“I am Captain Ross. We belong to the Protection Department, and the head of the Protection Department was attacked in this building and has now been kidnapped.”

“We’re going to take over this building until we get Secretary Pierce out.”

Captain Ross was in high spirits at this moment, and it was even clear that he was a little excited.

The agents in charge of security at S.H.I.E.L.D. glanced at the people around them, unsure of what to do, as the situation was beyond their authority.

S.H.I.E.L.D. and its personnel are very friendly units, but such a large-scale armed incursion into another's department would never occur.

Even if Captain Ross said he came to rescue Pierce, that wouldn't work. This kind of action should be ordered by the higher-ups of both sides, but the current S.H.I.E.L.D. leadership...

Their director, Nick Fury, was attacked by terrorists and his whereabouts are currently unknown. Below the director, the highest-ranking officer is Agent Hill.

Another one is Coulson, and Agent Hill's whereabouts are also unknown. Coulson is currently on a secret mission, and only Nick Fury knows where he is.

Alexander Pierce used his former identity as director of S.H.I.E.L.D., along with his role as a liaison officer in the security department, to temporarily take charge of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Alexander Pierce is not missing, nor is he on any secret mission. He's just staying in the building, but there's no point in trying to contact him.

Meanwhile, the officially armed personnel inside the building were all on the top floor. They were facing Zhao Chen, standing there watching him throw grenades, caught in a dilemma.

"Captain Ross, you might need to wait a moment, because I need to report this matter first~々."

"You only have three minutes. Once the time is up, I will lead my men to force our way in."

Only last time, when he suffered a setback at the Avengers headquarters, did Captain Ross act quite arrogantly elsewhere.

The agent who spoke with Captain Ross was also a seasoned veteran. He knew that regardless of whether the man was released or not, he might have to bear a great deal of responsibility.

So he called over the managers from within S.H.I.E.L.D. who were in the same position as him, and then everyone gathered together for a short meeting.

The meeting ended very quickly. The final conclusion was that because it was a critical period, everyone should discuss the responsibilities together, and now we're opening the door to let people in.

These middle-level managers also had Hydra agents among them. Alexander Pierce did not neglect to assign his own people to these middle-level managers just because they were not high-ranking.

Alexander Pierce understood very well that people at this level also held the key to success or failure.

Hydra agreed to let people in because they believed that Captain Ross and his men could rescue Alexander Pierce.

Captain Ross had a large number of men. After entering, Captain Ross's first order was to send his own men to take over each floor and disarm them.

Captain Ross entered S.H.I.E.L.D. under the guise of rescuing someone, so they must have worked with S.H.I.E.L.D. to rescue Alexander Pierce.

However, Captain Ross took over the floor directly and even removed their weapons, which was an overstepping of boundaries.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel were dissatisfied, and Captain Ross gave a very good reason: he was worried that terrorists might collude with them from within, so they had to disarm them first.

That way, their department can focus on rescuing people. Right now, there isn't a single big shot in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., and no one can rival Captain Ross.

So Captain Ross took over the entire building very smoothly. After taking over, Captain Ross led his men to the top floor.

As soon as they stepped off the elevator, the scene before them almost made Captain Ross and his men think they had come to the wrong place.

At first glance, you can see a group of people lying on the ground, while about 100 armed men have placed their weapons next to them and are squatting by the wall eating ice cream, and they are standing very neatly.

Captain Ross had been to many battlefields, and even when faced with a hail of bullets or a ground littered with corpses, he wouldn't blink an eye.

But the scene before him was so bizarre that Captain Ross felt a chill run down his spine.

Then they all turned their gaze to the other side, and Captain Ross and his men all took a deep breath and froze in place.

Those who came up to the roof were all Captain Ross and his personal guards. They had seen all kinds of weapons, including grenades, guns, and missiles.

Even Captain Ross, the nuclear warhead, has handled several high-yield nuclear warheads.

But in front of them was a pile of warheads, missiles pointing upwards, and several boxes of grenades, while Zhao Chen was playing with a grenade in the middle.

Chapter 728 Entering the Office Together

Their profession gives them an instinct: upon seeing this pile of weapons, they calculate the power of an explosion, and after calculating the power, they are filled with a chill.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the grenade in Zhao Chen's hand. Their eyes would look up when the grenade was on it and then look down when it was below.

If the grenade in Zhao Chen's hand falls to the ground, there is a certain possibility that the safety pin on the grenade will be knocked off.

Of course, the chances are incredibly small, but with so many missiles around Zhao Chen, even the smallest chance would make everyone worried.

Everyone knows that even if the safety pin is pulled, a grenade will not explode as long as you keep holding the wristband, but not many people have the courage to keep holding it still.

Upon seeing Zhao Chen, Captain Ross recalled what had happened before and felt a headache coming on. But now, seeing this scene, Captain Ross was completely unable to describe the emotions in his heart.

He didn't know whether he should praise Zhao Chen for being so capable of acquiring so much weaponry, or call Zhao Chen a lunatic, since Zhao Chen himself was sitting in a pile of weapons.

If things go wrong, Zhao Chen will be the first to die. Even if Zhao Chen is incredibly strong and survives, he will still be half-dead. This is giving Captain Ross a huge headache.

Captain Ross kept staring at Zhao Chen, ready to say something, because Zhao Chen wouldn't let him pass if he didn't speak.

Just then, Zhao Chen casually tossed the grenade up, then slapped it with both hands and disappeared instantly.

Captain Ross had heard of Zhao Chen's abilities, but the other soldiers didn't, so they only saw Zhao Chen clap his hands together and then the grenade disappear.

Everyone was so shocked they almost dropped their jaws.

Before Captain Ross could speak, Zhao Chen stood up and walked towards him very enthusiastically, extending his hand from a distance, intending to shake hands with him.

Then he spoke very enthusiastically.

"Captain Ross, I've been waiting for you for so long! You've finally arrived. It's been quite a while since we last met, hasn't it? I've missed you terribly, and what I miss most are your checks."

This collaboration is a win-win situation for everyone, even though Captain Ross had been thinking about capturing Bruce Banner.

However, after the previous battle, and because of Betty Ross, Captain Ross also knew that Bruce Banner could control the Hulk inside him.

Captain Ross then gave up on capturing Bruce Banner.

Captain Ross had suffered a great loss at Zhao Chen's hands before, but they were not enemies in essence, so when Zhao Chen came over so enthusiastically, he reached out to shake hands with Zhao Chen.

However, Zhao Chen's words were extremely sharp, and his opening remarks made Captain Ross's outstretched hand retract, and he couldn't help but tremble.

At the same time, his facial expressions were constantly changing, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Captain Ross had just been discharged from the hospital recently and had undergone heart bypass surgery.

Upon seeing Captain Ross's expression, Zhao Chen immediately took the initiative to shake Captain Ross's hand. There's a limit to taking advantage of someone.

"Let bygones be bygones, let's not talk about it anymore. You've come all this way, it must be very tiring for you, how about we get you some ice cream to replenish your energy?"

At this moment, Captain Ross and the soldiers behind him looked over at the people eating ice cream, and after seeing the expressions on their faces, they all shook their heads.

"No need to thank me for my kindness. I came here mainly to see our Minister Alexander Pierce."

Zhao Chen nodded, and then led Captain Ross toward Alexander Pierce's office.

With Captain Ross's soldiers around, Zhao Chen believed that Hydra wouldn't dare to make any rash moves, and he no longer needed to sit outside.

Upon arriving at the office, Captain Ross checked to see if Alexander was dead. After confirming that he was still alive, Captain Ross was deeply moved.

Alexander Pierce was arguably the biggest obstacle in Captain Ross's path, but Captain Ross still held a sliver of respect for this stumbling block.

Alexander Pierce first headed S.H.I.E.L.D., then became the Minister of Protection, and now he is the liaison for both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the World Security Council.

Alexander Pearce was arguably one of the most powerful people in the world; moreover, he once refused a Nobel Prize.

Alexander Pierce's resume is undeniably impressive, yet this very man is a member of Hydra, and a fanatical one at that.

However, Alexander Pierce looked rather disheveled, with both legs pierced by Tony's laser cannon and many bruises on his face.

That's why Captain Ross was so moved, and Zhao Chen glanced at Alexander Pierce's thigh.

Chapter 729 Clash Between Special Agents and Soldiers

The laser cannon was extremely hot, directly burning Alexander's wound, so he didn't lose too much blood. Zhao Chen then looked at Tony next to him.

Tony is very depressed right now.
