Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he just wants to be a superhero
#136 - Why is it still called S.H.I.E.L.D.? Let's call it S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Before Harry and the others arrived, Nick Fury was using surveillance satellites to monitor their every move, so he wasn't surprised by their arrival.
However, Harry's opening words, filled with questioning intent, instantly made him tense up, countless thoughts flashing through his mind, his heart leaping into his throat.
So, which matter had been exposed?
Was it the tens of billions of dollars in slush funds that he had privately misappropriated and embezzled that had been discovered?
Was it the dozens of secret bases built around the world to deal with various potential threats, a few of which had been accidentally exposed?
It couldn't be that all of them had been exposed, right?
Or was it the secret research into the Space Stone, while also attempting to create high-powered weapons using the Space Stone's energy, that had been exposed?
Or even the recently restarted "Super Soldier Program" or the "Talos Project," which had just been launched, that had run into an accident?
Or was there a problem with the research on the "Infinity Formula"?
Nick Fury looked up and saw Harry and the others on high alert, their faces solemn, looking ready to kill.
He sighed, feeling helpless, and decided to probe the situation first to see how much information the other party had actually grasped:
"Alright, so you all know, but my misappropriation of those funds was definitely not for my own personal gain, but entirely for the sake of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"In today's crisis-ridden world, one more secret base means one more guarantee."
"Only by establishing more secret strongholds can we have more backup plans to deal with emergencies, survive those terrifying crises that could destroy the world, and then protect this fragile world."
"I admit that my methods may have been a bit inappropriate, but my starting point was definitely good. I think you should be able to understand, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely, and Tony even said:
"Goodness, Nick Fury, no wonder even with my and the World Security Council's behind-the-scenes support for S.H.I.E.L.D., your operating budget was still stretched thin. So it was you who was embezzling behind the scenes!
Confess honestly, how many things are you still hiding? I even suspect that you are a Hydra spy planted in S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
He knew very well that Steve, Tony, and the others would definitely not agree to such dangerous behavior that could cause a huge disaster.
Once this secret was exposed, the newly and painstakingly assembled Avengers Alliance would inevitably suffer a heavy blow, and might even fall apart!
Nick Fury's expression turned stern, instantly收起 all emotions, and put on an extremely serious face, saying in a steady and firm tone:
"That's all, nothing else. S.H.I.E.L.D. does have some secrets, but those are all things that only Level Ten agents are qualified to know."
"These secrets do not violate any laws, and for the sake of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s overall security and mission confidentiality, you must not know them!"
"Also, how could I possibly be a Hydra agent? I am the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., shouldering the responsibility of maintaining world peace and fighting against evil forces."
"If even I were a Hydra agent, then S.H.I.E.L.D. might as well be renamed 'Snake Shield Bureau'!"
Harry has always respected other people's privacy, knowing that everyone has secrets they don't want to show, so he wouldn't casually probe other people's thoughts.
However, at this moment, facing the major hidden danger of Hydra, which concerns the safety of the entire world, he would not stick to conventions.
Harry would not reveal that he could read other people's memories, letting too many people know.
After all, no one wants to have someone around them who can casually read their memories. Even if that person has always been restrained and would not easily use this ability.
At the moment of eye contact with Nick Fury, Harry secretly cast a spell, extremely discreetly peeking into Fury's brain at a shallow level, trying to find some clues from it to confirm whether Fury's words were true.
So, while Nick Fury was trying his best to defend himself, insisting that he was definitely not a Hydra agent, Harry had already confirmed through peeking that Fury was completely unaware of Alexander Pierce being a high-level Hydra member.
So Harry showed a strange look and slowly said to Nick Fury:
"You're actually right about part of it. The current S.H.I.E.L.D., to some extent, is almost becoming 'Snake Shield Bureau.'"
"Hydra has already planted a large number of spies within S.H.I.E.L.D., and even high-level officials are no exception!"
Nick Fury keenly captured the strange gazes from Harry, Coulson, Natasha, and others.
He had worked with Coulson and Natasha for many years and knew them very well, knowing that they were all well-trained agents who did not easily show their emotions.
If something extremely serious had not happened, they would never have露出 such a solemn expression.
So his already dark face completely turned into a lump of charcoal, saying, "So, what exactly happened?!"
Natasha took a deep breath and said with a serious expression:
“We have already destroyed the Hydra base in Sokovia. There, we extracted a lot of Hydra secrets from Baron Strucker.
Now it's confirmed that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by Hydra, riddled with their agents!
“Who?!”
Nick Fury's expression turned grave, his mind racing as he tried to guess which Hydra agent had infiltrated the highest levels.
Harry subtly sensed Nick Fury's body and reminded him:
“Your blood pressure has been a little high lately, and your heart isn't doing so well either. I suggest you prepare yourself, this name will definitely shock you!”
“Speak, I'm not that fragile.”
“It's Alexander Pierce!”
Even though Nick Fury was somewhat prepared, upon hearing that name, his face was still filled with disbelief. He abruptly stood up from his seat, denying it:
“No, that's impossible, how could Pierce be a Hydra agent!”
But when he looked ahead, he saw Harry, Coulson, Natasha, and others all staring at him with grave expressions.
Those serious faces, like cold reality, ruthlessly shattered the last bit of luck in his heart.
He had no choice but to believe that the elder he had respected for so many years was actually a member of Hydra!
Harry continued: “Pierce's identity is far more than just an ordinary Hydra agent; he is now the supreme leader of Hydra.
Moreover, he is secretly planning 'Project Insight,' attempting to use three Helicarriers, combined with Zola's algorithm, to preemptively lock onto and eliminate all individuals and organizations that might pose a threat to Hydra's rule.”
Nick Fury's forehead veins bulged, each vein like an angry earthworm, constantly swelling and wriggling under his skin, as if they would burst at any moment. This was enough to demonstrate the anger and shock in his heart at this moment.
After a long silence, Nick Fury slowly leaned over, took out a black and white photo from the drawer under the table, which showed Pierce in his middle age.
The latest novels are first published on w\\.
Nick Fury stared at the photo, carefully examining it for a long time, before saying in a deep voice:
“This man refused the Nobel Peace Prize, saying that peace is not an achievement, but a responsibility!
I once thought I knew Pierce well enough, but now it seems… However, one thing is certain, he has always been cautious, especially in his old age, he would never easily put himself in danger.
No wonder he left directly to go on vacation abroad before you set off. He must have anticipated that he might be exposed, so he ran away to avoid it.”
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Tony's face, as he said in his usual sarcastic tone:
“Look, isn't it great now? Even the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a Hydra agent.
Harry was right before, your S.H.I.E.L.D. might as well be renamed 'Hydra-S.H.I.E.L.D.,' at least that would be more in line with the actual situation, and it would save everyone from being kept in the dark.”
Thor, the burly man with a full beard, couldn't help but complain as well.
He scratched his head, looking puzzled:
“Are the security departments in Midgard so unreliable? They actually let the enemy sneak into the high levels so easily, without noticing at all.
In my opinion, if that guy named Pierce wasn't afraid of Harry's strength, you would have already become criminals wanted by the government!”
Although Thor usually gives people a simple and honest feeling, don't forget that he is the Crown Prince of Asgard.
He has experienced thousands of years of baptism in his life, and he has long seen through those power struggles, intrigues, and deceptions, so he can naturally point out the problem sharply.
As soon as these words came out, several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents present looked at each other, speechless, and could only stand awkwardly in place, with bitter smiles on their faces.
Just as everyone was talking, the office door creaked open.
A graceful figure walked in. Hill held a document in her hand, walked straight to Nick Fury, placed the document on the desk in front of him, and then reported:
“Director Fury, it has been verified that dozens of agents have disappeared with Pierce. Their travel records have been completely deleted, and it will be difficult for us to find their traces in a short time.”
Nick Fury nodded and said in a deep voice:
“This is indeed Pierce's consistent style. He should have transferred most of the Hydra agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. away.
However, in any case, there must be a thorough investigation within S.H.I.E.L.D., not a single corner can be missed!”
“Need any help?” Harry asked proactively upon seeing this.
Nick Fury shook his head slightly, politely declining Harry's offer.
He didn't want too many outsiders to interfere in the internal affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D., but he still found a relatively tactful excuse:
“Thank you, Harry, but don't worry, trust our quality.
We have a complete and strict testing procedure, even those well-disguised and well-trained agents will never be able to escape the layers of screening.
This is an internal matter of S.H.I.E.L.D., and we are confident that we can handle it well.”
He, Nick Fury, was extremely confident!
He knew S.H.I.E.L.D. like the back of his hand and had absolute control!
No one could escape punishment under his gaze!
