At the same time that Peter took Daisy to S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York.

Washington, D.C., at the basement of the Delta Wing building.

In the dimly lit conference room, a secret meeting was quietly taking place, unknown even to the newly appointed Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Phil Coulson.

A group of men in suits sat around a long conference table; each of them was a key figure within S.H.I.E.L.D.

The identity of the leader is even more remarkable.

His name is Alexander Pierce, and he serves as the Secretary General of the World Security Council. He is also a longtime friend of Nick Fury.

But in reality, his true identity, along with the others present, was... the entire high-ranking Hydra organization in Alicca!

In the ensuing silence, Alexander spoke first. His voice was calm, yet it carried a chilling undertone:

"Gentlemen, we're in big trouble."

"Peter Parker, the 'Arbiter,' that madman actually parachuted in as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. by threatening the president."

He looked around at his men's grim faces.

"What this means, I don't need to explain, do I?"

"Our 'Operation Insight,' which we've been secretly working on for decades, may very well be ruined by this little monster's sudden disruption!"

Upon hearing this, Brock Rumlow, "Crossbones," sitting to his left, couldn't help but retort:

"It hasn't gotten to that point yet, has it? We've been hiding it very well, haven't we? Besides, that kid even dragged that playboy Tony Stark into S.H.I.E.L.D."

This actually helped us take another big step forward with the Insight Project.

"Once Tony Stark contributes his Arc Reactor technology, we can use the satellite weapons from Project Insight to eliminate all these threats in the blink of an eye!"

Crossbones became more and more agitated as he spoke, looking like a "little arbiter, how ridiculous!"

"Idiot!" Seeing him getting more and more arrogant, Pierce immediately poured cold water on him. He directly projected Peter's expressions from the Battle of Brooklyn onto the projector, then looked at the guy and asked:

"Do you really think that monsters capable of taking down Abominations and Hulks with their bare hands can be dealt with using satellite weapons?"

Now, Crossbones was completely speechless.

Jasper Sitwell, who was standing to the side wearing gold-rimmed glasses, hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Mr. Pierce, perhaps we can try a different approach? He's already threatened the president, which means he's not on the same side as the top brass at Alicia. Maybe we could try... to win him over?"

"Win them over?"

Pierce was so angry at the suggestion that he laughed, looking at Jasper as if he were an idiot.

"That madman dares to threaten even the president, do you think he'd obey you or me for some petty gain?"

"Besides, have you forgotten who killed his parents, and also his good friend Tony Stark's father?"

"What kind of benefits are you prepared to offer him to make him abandon his hatred for killing our fathers?"

Upon hearing this, the air in the conference room seemed to freeze.

In the ensuing silence, one of the Hydra members tentatively asked:

"Why don't we start with the people around him? His uncle and aunt seem to be just ordinary people."

"and then?"

Pierce countered with a question.

"Enrage him? Drive him completely mad, turn all of New York, even all of Alicca, upside down? Are you solving our problem, or handing him a knife?"

"Our goal is 'Project Insight,' which is to silently take control of the world from the shadows! Not to play a game of mutual destruction with a madman!"

The meeting fell into a deathly silence.

They can't win in a fight, they can't threaten them, and they can't even seek cooperation.

It seems there's no solution to this problem at all.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the screen in front of Pierce suddenly lit up, and a large human face made up of countless green codes appeared.

It is Anim Zola.

This guy uploaded his brain data to Hydra's internal database, becoming a cyber ghost with de facto immortality.

"Guys, I've deduced a possibility using data algorithms."

"Based on an analysis of all of Peter Parker's publicly available data, it is clear that he is not invincible."

"Peter Parker values ​​friendship and family ties extremely highly, which is almost his only weakness and also our only chance to eliminate this biggest variable."

As Zola spoke, she split half of the screen and began analyzing Peter's network of relationships.

"Gwen Stacy, the Ghost Spider, has been confirmed to be in a romantic relationship through satellite surveillance, but she is too powerful and determined to be used."

"Harry Osborn, Peter Parker's best friend, is an ordinary person and not capable of killing him."

"Besides these two, there is another candidate worth noting."

As they spoke, Felicia Hardy's information appeared on the screen:

"Felicia Hardy, the 'Nightingale,' possesses the ability to manipulate water and has multiple interactions with Peter Parker, their relationship being ambiguous."

"This is a potential opening!"

Upon hearing this, Pierce's eyes narrowed:

"You mean... like we control 'assets'?"

"That's right! Just like how we control 'assets'."

Zola's electronic voice seemed to carry a hint of sinister intent:

"Using our latest mind control technology, we'll implant a control chip in her brain. We'll make her seduce and assassinate Peter Parker."

"To deliver a fatal blow to Peter Parker when he is completely naked and least prepared, a blow that even his healing abilities cannot recover from!"

"Success means a permanent solution."

"Even if we fail..." Zola's virtual avatar flickered, "Peter Parker will only think it's Nick Fury or the military's retaliation; he'll never suspect that we're behind it all!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room gasped in shock.

What a wicked scheme!

It is simple, yet efficient and practical.

More importantly, it will prevent them from being exposed to the monster's line of sight!

Even if their plan fails, they can still secretly plot new traps!

It's perfect!

On that instant, Pierce raised his hand without any hesitation:

"I agree to launch this plan."

"I second that!"

"I second that!"

……

The room was filled with a chorus of agreement.

"Well then..." After scanning everyone's faces, Pierce looked at Crossbones and Jasper and began to speak:

"Jasper, you arrange for someone to distract Peter Parker and ensure the capture operation is not interfered with in any way."

"Brock, go and awaken our 'assets.' They've been dormant for so long; it's time to give them a good workout!"

As Pierce spoke, a cold smile unconsciously crept onto his lips:

"Take him to New York, and together you can bring that lost nightingale back!"

"Yes, sir!"
