I sparked a mythological frenzy in Marvel.

Chapter 114 S.H.I.E.L.D. Surrounded by Hydra?

"You mean Tony Stark and Xia Ling are both in the director's office?"

After listening to the report from his trusted subordinate Rumlow, Alexander Pierce had an idea in mind.

That is, we can't let that Asian guy continue like this. He's just a puppet, yet he's gradually spreading his influence throughout S.H.I.E.L.D.

How dare he?

Doesn't anyone know who put him in the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Nobody knows. Wait, who put him in the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Alexander Pierce was stunned. He couldn't figure out how that Asian man had become the bureau chief, even after thinking for a long time.

Did he personally promote him to that position? Or was he directly appointed by the Security Council? Or perhaps both?

Alexander Pierce couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, it wasn't important, and thinking about it too much would only give him a headache.

The key issue is that if things continue like this, SHIELD will become S.H.I.E.L.D.

I need to teach that Asian guy a lesson and make him understand that there are some things he can't do!

Of course, he didn't have a chance to remember it.

Fortunately, most of the former Hydra members in S.H.I.E.L.D. still obey his orders.

If they act now, the advantage still lies with him.

If it weren't for the arrival of that so-called Holy Son, Alexander Pierce wouldn't have been planning to take action.

Unfortunately, that church's ability to bewitch people was far too terrifying, even surpassing that of Hydra.

Several Hydra members gradually became less respectful of him after becoming priests.

If things continue like this, once everyone in the agency becomes a clergyman, not only will S.H.I.E.L.D. lose control, but he himself will also be exposed.

At that point, what other options did he have besides running away?

"Rumlow, do you think we have a chance of winning if we attack Xia Ling and Tony Stark now?"

Although Alexander Pierce had made his decision, he was still somewhat uneasy.

After all, this matter involves the gods, and Xia Ling is the Desolate King personally appointed by the Holy Son.

What if we kill Xia Ling and anger the Holy Son, and He personally takes action against us?

Alexander Pierce frowned, his eyes flashing with complex emotions—worried about S.H.I.E.L.D. falling into his hands, and also worried about divine retribution.

"Of course we can win, Lord Pierce. Even a god cannot do whatever he wants, otherwise the ruler of this country would not be a mortal."

Rumlow knew perfectly well what his boss was worried about; it was nothing more than fear of the gods' attitude.

However, if you need to worry about that, then you don't need to do anything at all; just honestly give up your ambitions.

"Won't there be any problems?"

"Excuse my bluntness, sir, with such timidity, S.H.I.E.L.D. will inevitably fall into enemy hands sooner or later."

Alexander Pierce nodded, his mind made up, and said, "In any case, S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot fall into the hands of others, much less become a tool for that Holy Son to spread his doctrines."

Our goal is to achieve Hydra's ultimate objective, and anything that threatens this goal must be eliminated.

"Yes, Your Excellency, let's get started right away."

"Now?"

Alexander Pierce was somewhat uncertain. The Russian female agent was quite skilled, and the playboy was said to have mastered divine magic. Now, perhaps...

"Sir, now is the time to close the net. You cannot hesitate. It would be best to bring the Winter Soldier along so that we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Alexander Pierce took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"You're right, Rumlow. We can't delay any longer. Immediately gather all reliable Hydra members, including the Winter Soldier, and prepare for action."

His words revealed an unquestionable determination.

"We must ensure this operation goes perfectly, not only by eliminating Xia Ling and Tony Stark, but also by ensuring that S.H.I.E.L.D. remains under our control."

"Tony, seriously, do you ever consider becoming president?"

In the office, after discussing the new plans for the church, Xia Ling suddenly asked a question, which naturally stunned Tony and Natasha.

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark's lips unconsciously curled up. He shook his head and laughed, "President? That's not my style. I prefer to wear my suit and fight crime and protect the innocent around the world."

"I have no interest in becoming president, Director Xia. Why are you suddenly asking this question today?"

"As the bureau chief, all I want is for the people under my command to be able to achieve something."

The smile instantly shifted from Tony's face to Xia Ling's, and the Iron Man's expression immediately darkened.

Xia Ling offended him twice with just one sentence.

"Director Xia, firstly, I'm not one of your men. Secondly, who is the Grand Commander? Does he have more authority than me?"

No sooner had Tony finished speaking than the office door was kicked open, and Alexander Pierce led a large group of people straight into the director's office.

As the office door was kicked open, a tense and oppressive atmosphere instantly filled the room.

Alexander Pierce stood on the threshold, his eyes cold, followed by a group of fully armed Hydra members, including the Winter Soldier whose iconic mechanical arm was faintly visible in the dim light, making him look particularly sinister.

Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff exchanged a wary glance as they quickly assessed the situation.

"Oh, it seems there are some special guests at today's meeting."

Tony jokingly feigned nonchalance while secretly preparing to unleash a divine spell, albeit a single-target attack.

But Xia Ling and Natasha are here, so the three of them should be able to handle the other side.

"Mr. Pierce, what are you planning to do? Don't forget, this is S.H.I.E.L.D., not your private property."

Xia Ling watched the hydra's head with great interest. He wanted to see what gave this hydra's head such an impulsive attitude today and what kind of sure thing it had in mind to win.

"S.H.I.E.L.D."

Pierce gave a cold laugh and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Soon, it will belong to Hydra. As for you, Xia Ling, and you, Tony Stark, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have some so-called 'divine power'? Today, I'll show you who the real master here is."

As soon as he finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, the Hydra members rushed forward and surrounded the three of them.

The Winter Soldier stepped forward, his cold mechanical arm seeming ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.

This scene is strange no matter how you look at it; the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is surrounded in his own office!

Can we win? Absolutely not!
