New York, Long Island.

In a large manor, the leader of the Malik family, Gideon Malik, was standing in his study, quietly looking at the scenery of the courtyard outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The sun shines on the window, refracting the light on a document on the desk, giving it a white shimmer.

Bang Bang Bang

A sudden knock on the door called him back from the memories of decades ago.

"Come in."

Turning around, Gideon Malik saw his daughter, Stephanie.

"Father, Mr. Pierce is here."

With a slight nod, Gideon Malik waved his hand and said, "Invite him over."

"Ok."

A moment later, Alexander Pierce, the former director of SHIELD and now a member of the World Security Council, sat across from Malick.

After tapping the documents on the table, Malik asked Pierce, "How is your investigation going?"

Pierce pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "It's basically done."

Malik picked up the whiskey on the table and took a sip, "Tell me, can we control this Avengers plan?"

Pierce frowned, and the wrinkles on his face deepened:

"Unfortunately, based on my interactions with the rest of the roster, I believe it will be difficult for us to gain control of this team."

After hearing this, Malik couldn't help but look up at Pierce and asked, "Why?"

"Except for Tony Stark, an uncontrollable billionaire, the other three people in the primary list submitted by Fury are all Fury's cronies."

Malick interrupted for a moment: "You mean, Scavenger, Black Widow and Hawkeye?"

"That's right." Pierce nodded slightly and continued: "Of the three, the most loyal to Fury is Hawkeye."

"He accepted Fury's recruitment a long time ago and joined SHIELD. Now he is one of Fury's confidants. Trying to bring him into our camp is obviously in vain."

"What about the other two people?" Malik frowned and continued to ask: "I have read the files of these two people. They only joined SHIELD last year. Their loyalty to Fury should not be too high. .”

"It is a pity that it is very difficult to recruit these two people."

Facing Malik's slightly confused look, Pierce could only continue to explain: ""Scavenger" Leon Coulson is the nephew of Fury's henchman Phil Coulson."

"Although he has only joined S.H.I.E.L.D. not long ago, he was promoted from a fourth-level agent to a sixth-level agent in just half a year."

"Furry is very optimistic about him. This is a well-known secret in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D."

Pierce, who felt a little thirsty, also picked up the whiskey on the table, took a sip, and then said:

"As for Black Widow, according to my investigation, the reason why she defected from the Red Room and joined S.H.I.E.L.D. was largely due to Leon Coulson."

"The relationship between the two seems not to be simple."

Pierce's explanation made Malik easily come to a conclusion: "So, is this Leon Coulson the breakthrough for us to control this team?"

At this time, Pierce suddenly spoke, interrupting Malik's thoughts:

"Besides the Avengers plan, I have some interesting news that I want to share with you."

Malik stared at Pierce with his cloudy eyes and asked, "What is it?"

"I found the outsider who sneaked into Roxon's underground facility and stole all the research data."

Malik frowned and immediately thought of something, then asked: "You mean, this person is in S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Yes, that person is exactly"

"Leon Coulson"

For Pierce, who has level 10 clearance, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. is transparent.

Regardless of any confidential mission, as long as it is recorded, he can review it.

Even any secret that Fury himself classified as Level 10 secrets

Malik was somewhat unexpected when he heard the news.

However, this is also good news.

Although the cooperation with Roxon is handled by Baron Strucker.

However, because this plan is so important, it is of extremely great significance to Hydra's cause of world domination.

Now that the foreign intruder has been found, he must pay the price

After lowering his head in thought for a moment, Malik raised his head, looked at Pierce, and whispered in a hoarse voice:

"In this case, we have only one choice for this Leon Coulson."

At this moment, Malik's tone suddenly became murderous:

"Anyone who stands in the way of our great cause must die."

Following Malik's words, a gust of autumn wind suddenly blew in the courtyard, taking away a yellowing leaf on the tree.

This slowly falling dead leaf seems to be foreshadowing something.

. . .

Returning to his residence in New York from the Malick Manor, Pierce called his top subordinate in SHIELD in front of him without stopping.

"Sir, what do you need me to do?"

Looking at John Garrett standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, Pierce picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. After feeling that his throat was not so dry, he whispered:

"I need you to get rid of Leon Coulson"

John Garrett did not ask why, but thought for a moment and asked in a slightly hesitant tone: "Do you need me to wake him up?"

"No" the tone suddenly rose, and there was an unquestionable meaning in Pierce's tone: "His existence cannot be exposed yet. I need you to find other means. It is best that no one can know, that was what we did."

John Garrett nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Then, as if he thought of something, he suggested:

"Sir, I have received news that a killer group in New York called the "Hand Peace Society" is currently searching for a young brown-haired man. I have seen the portrait, and it seems to be very similar to Leon Coulson."

"Maybe we can start from here"

Pierce nodded slightly, "Well, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes"

After watching his men leave, Pierce came to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire New York night. He couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed softly: "In order to make this world a better place, some small sacrifices are nothing..."
