American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

“That’s really hurtful,” Loki said, deliberately using an exaggerated tone.

"Stop with your act, Loki, it won't work here!" Nick Fury said to Loki without any politeness.

[The quiz is over. Now we'll play the answer explanation!]

Immediately afterwards, a system notification sounded, the corresponding text on the big screen disappeared, and an image appeared in front of everyone.

The first thing that catches everyone's eye is none other than Nick Fury, the bald-headed Chief of Police.

In a very dark and shabby room, Nick Fury had one hand bandaged and was holding a photograph in the other.

And that photo turned out to be a photo of Alexander Pierce.

"This person refused the Nobel Peace Prize, saying that peace is not an achievement, but a responsibility!"

"Look, it's people like this who make me afraid to trust others!"

As Nick Fury spoke, he casually tossed the photo onto the table as if it were trash.

While Nick Fury was speaking, the figures of several other people in the room also appeared on the screen, namely Black Widow, Captain America, Falcon Sam, and Agent Hill.

"We have to stop it from taking off!" Black Widow said with a serious expression.

As to what this "it" is, everyone has a logical guess: the Insight Helicarrier, after all, Captain America, Black Widow, and Sam are the core team that stopped Project Insight.

This place is clearly not any of S.H.I.E.L.D. bases, which also fits the fact that Captain America's operation was independent of the S.H.I.E.L.D. system.

“I don’t think the council will answer my call,” Nick Fury said again, then opened a box.

Three silver "circuit boards" appeared before everyone.

"When the space carrier reaches an altitude of 3000 feet, it will form a triangle with the Insight satellite and then be fully weaponized!" Agent Hill explained to everyone from the side.

“We have to attack those space carriers,” Nick Fury’s voice continued, “and then replace the positioning blades with our own.”

The "positioning blade" clearly refers to those three circuit boards.

Nick Fury's words also clearly stated the timeline: it was on the eve of the operation to sabotage Project Insight!

"Replacing just one or two won't work; we need to connect all three motherships! Even if only one mothership is operational, it can still kill countless people," Agent Hill solemnly told everyone.

“We have to assume it’s all Hydra up there. We have to break in and plug in the Blade server,” Nick Fury said again. “Maybe, I mean maybe, we can still salvage it…”

"We're not rescuing them!" Captain America suddenly interrupted Nick Fury. "We're going to destroy the Helicarrier and S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

Everyone, both on and off screen, was taken aback by Captain America's decision.

That would destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.!

But soon, everyone present began to vaguely understand what Captain America meant on the screen.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has nothing to do with this!"

On the screen, Nick Fury immediately made a distinction.

"If you give me the task, I'll do it!" Captain America said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

Chapter 163 Infernal Affairs: Counter-Infiltrating Hydra

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has changed, you said it yourself!"

"Hydra has grown and thrived right under your nose, and no one has noticed!"

Captain America stared intently at Nick Fury and spoke to him with a serious expression.

“Why should we meet in a cave? Because I noticed that,” Nick Fury argued.

"How many people sacrificed themselves in vain before you?" Captain America asked Nick Fury again, his gaze sharp and incisive.

This question hit the nail on the head, leaving Nick Fury speechless and unable to utter a single word in rebuttal. He even looked away, avoiding eye contact with Captain America.

He was clearly feeling guilty.

"I don't know anything about Barnes," Nick Fury said weakly to Captain America after a few seconds.

"Even if you knew, would you tell me?" Captain America threw another sharp question at Nick Fury, leaving him speechless once again.

Everyone knows that Nick Fury won't tell Captain America.

"Are you still planning to manage them separately? S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are all the same, leave none of them alive!" Captain America then said emphatically to Nick Fury.

“He’s right!” Agent Hill immediately echoed Captain America, speaking to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury looked at the others present and found that Black Widow, Sam, and others all agreed with Captain America's suggestion.

“Alright!” Nick Fury finally relented, saying to Captain America, “We’ll obey your orders now, Captain.”

Inside this incredibly simple cave, a mere handful of people decided the fate of the world's largest intelligence agency.

This aligns to some extent with everyone's previous speculations.

Captain America did indeed intend to destroy Hydra in one fell swoop because Hydra had grown to a certain size.

Of course, Captain America's actions are also closely related to the values ​​he inherited from his World War II days.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Hydra's growth and expansion were significant factors.

The camera then switched to a different scene.

However, in the plaza in front of the Tri-Wing Building, a group of people in suits were seen walking towards the entrance of the Tri-Wing Building, surrounded by a crowd.

Alexander Pierce was among them, and it seemed that he had personally come to greet the group.

The high status and position of that group of people are evident.

It's them!

The others didn't recognize who those people were, but Nick Fury recognized them at a glance; they were all members of the World Security Council.

In terms of authority, he is above Pierce.

"Did you enjoy the flight?"

Pierce led the way for everyone while exchanging pleasantries.

“Not bad!” a blonde woman in a light blue business skirt replied casually, “but the journey from the airport to here was not good.”

“Even S.H.I.E.L.D. can’t control everything,” Pierce shrugged.

“Including Captain America,” another bald man in a suit added from the side.

This statement confirms everyone's previous speculations. Clearly, during this period, Captain America was still wanted by the police.

At this point, Pierce had already led everyone to the entrance of the Tri-Wing Building, where Secret Service agents were already waiting and handed Pierce a box.

The box contained some exquisitely designed name tags.

“These devices are controlled by biometrics, which allows you to move around freely here,” Pierce explained as he handed out the name tags to the committee members.

Without giving it much thought, the committee members put on their name tags and followed Pierce into the Tri-Wing Building.

The camera then switches again.

Inside the top-floor office, Pierce and the four committee members were clinking glasses and chatting and laughing.

But suddenly, a voice came through the broadcast system of the Tri-Wing Building: Captain America's voice.

"Attention, agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., this is Steve Rogers. You've heard a lot about me these past few days, and some of you have even received orders to arrest me. But now, you should know the truth!"

“S.H.I.E.L.D. has changed. It has been taken over by Hydra, and Alexander Pierce is their head, as are the special forces and Project Insight teams.”

As Captain America uttered those words, all the committee members in the office couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Pierce.

Pierce, however, remained calm and unhurried, simply taking out his phone and tapping a few times, clearly contacting someone.

"I don't know who else is here, but they must be in this building, maybe even standing next to you!"

"They're about to succeed and gain absolute control. They assassinated Nick Fury, but this isn't the end of the story!"

……

It must be said that Captain America's "long speech" was quite persuasive, which is also due to Captain America's long-standing status in the hearts of the American people.

The committee members in the office believed Captain America's words almost without hesitation.

"You arrogant bastard!" the bald man in the suit immediately cursed at Pierce.

At that moment, a team of special forces soldiers walked into the office, and a curly-haired man in a suit immediately gave the order to the special forces soldiers: "Arrest him!"

But a special forces soldier immediately pulled out a gun and aimed it at the curly-haired man in the suit.

As Captain America said, the entire special forces team is now under Hydra's control.

Thus, although Captain America caught him off guard and exposed his secrets, Pierce still managed to take control of the situation immediately.

"Let me ask you a question. What if terrorists attack South Asia tomorrow?" Pierce said, picking up two glasses of wine and walking up to the curly-haired man in the suit.

She handed one of the glasses of wine to the curly-haired man in the suit.

“You know they’ll drag your daughter onto the football field and execute her, and you could stop it all by pressing a switch. Would you press it?” Pierce asked meaningfully.

Using this example to draw an analogy to Project Insight, one can only say that Hydra's reasoning is quite capricious.

"If it were your switch, it wouldn't work." The curly-haired man in the suit suddenly threw down his wine glass.

Upon seeing this, Pierce immediately grabbed a gun from a special forces member, intending to shoot the curly-haired man in the suit.

But at that very moment, the blonde woman in her fifties or sixties suddenly kicked the curly-haired man in the suit aside.

Then, with agility like the wind, he rushed in front of Pierce and knocked him back with a single punch.

Bang bang bang!

Then, in a few swift and dazzling moves, he took down all the special forces members on the scene.

They even grabbed a gun and pointed it at Pierce.

The situation was reversed in an instant!

"Who is this middle-aged woman? She's amazing!"

Tony Stark couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. That old lady was so old, yet her fighting power was still so off the charts. It was just too exaggerated.

Even those who are a generation younger than this auntie aren't that amazing.
