At S.H.E.L.D., Nick Frey was in the middle of a meeting. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
Time ticked by, but the expected chaos didn't start, which made him irritable.
He was not afraid of sacrifice. Since he decided to appear here, he was prepared for the worst. However, he did not want his sacrifice to be meaningless.
Don't think that he would be fine just because Nagini did not run away. Everyone was not stupid. What were they thinking?
Everyone was well aware of the situation.
If Najini ran away, although he would regret it, he was the one who chose this path, and he was willing to bear the consequences.
But what if Nagini did not run away?
To be honest, Nick Frey was angry. He felt that Nagini was a complete pig.
Could it be that Nagini did not notice?
That should not be the case. Based on his understanding of this little fox, it was impossible for him not to notice.
So the question was, why did Nagini not run away?
With a frustrated expression, Frey looked at his colleagues who were still discussing. He threw away his pen and said: "You guys continue to discuss. I'll go check on the situation."
He felt that he needed to talk to Nagini.
However, just as Frey was about to leave, the door was pushed open.
The current director of S.H.E.L.D., Nick Frey's old friend Pierce, walked in with a gloomy face.
The moment he saw Pierce, he knew that something was wrong.
Nick Frey did not expect that his old friend would come back early. He subconsciously tried to cover it up: "Director, you …"
"Bang!"
Without any warning, Pierce raised his leg and kicked Frey in the stomach. Pierce, who had not fought for decades, kicked him to the ground like an angry lion.
"Scram!"
Frey who was on the ground was shocked. The two of them were friends, and he had even saved his life.
Even if that was not the case, with his current identity as a level 9 agent of S.H.E.L.D., Pierce should not have done this in front of everyone. Feeling the strange gazes from the surrounding people, Frey felt his face burning.
But he had no choice. Pierce was the director of S.H.E.L.D..
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Frey climbed up from the ground. He took a deep breath and tried to explain: "Director, listen to me …"
Pierce ignored him. He coldly looked at Frey and said: "I don't want to listen to you. Rum, I'll leave Nagini's matter to you."
Crossbones, who had rushed over with Pierce, looked at Nick Fury, whose face was alternating between green and white. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes before he sneered.
"Yes, sir."
A higher official could crush someone to death?
Are you, Nick Fury, too arrogant, or am I, Hydra, too weak to lift my sword?
You don't know where this place!
You think being a level 9 agent is awesome?
Ignoring Crossbones' mocking gaze, Pierce casually waved his hand. Although it was not obvious, Crossbones understood the meaning in his eyes.
No matter what, he had to make Nagini admit his crimes. He had to use the pressure of the United States to make Nagini yield!
Then he coldly looked at Nick Frey. Disgust flashed in his eyes: "And you, Nick Frey. From now on, you will be investigated thoroughly!"
Frey opened his mouth. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he lowered his head: "Yes, sir."
It's over, it's all over!
Pierce's appearance was beyond Frey's expectations.
Previously, he could use his identity as a level 9 agent to create an opportunity for Nagini to escape. But now?
He did not expect the other party to turn the tables and directly find Pierce.
Sensing that the situation was hopeless, Frey sighed in his heart. He knew that it was useless to say anything now.
Looking at Frey's soulless back, Pierce did not care if his words were bad or not. He coldly snorted with disgust: "Hey, ungrateful wretch!"
Frey's body stiffened. He clearly heard Pierce's words. But after a moment, he could only leave under everyone's strange gazes.
Time passed half an hour ago. Pierce, who was flying to New York, received a call from Crossbones.
As for why he did not follow the original plan and arrive in New York three hours later like Nick Frey did?
It was because Pierce took a private plane. Frey arrived at S.H.E.L.D. headquarters half an hour earlier because he took a military plane.
The reason for Pierce's return was very simple. On one hand, he had to deal with this matter properly. On the other hand, he knew that Nick Frey had left in a fighter jet.
This was very important. If Frey could think of this problem, Pierce could also think of it. Otherwise, he would not be in this position.
So almost immediately, Pierce rushed back to New York.
This was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Pierce knew very well that Najini was not someone to be trifled with. If it wasn't for the fact that Najini had caused such a huge ruckus that Merika couldn't back down, no one would have dared to make a move on Najini openly.
No, the reason why Nagini made a move was not just because of the phone. It was because no one wanted to be the first to make a move. After all, this was a joke with the fate of the entire human race. Even a behemoth like the United States was not willing to bear the consequences.
But why was Pierce so bold this time?
There were many reasons:
First, because he needed Nagini to make a political contribution.
Second, because Nagini's unstable existence was not conducive to the future development of S.H.E.L.D. (Hydra). With Nagini's current power, if he supported Frey, it would be difficult for Pierce to control him.
Third, because he recently learned a lot of information about aliens, including the MIB, so he was less afraid of aliens.
Fourth, and most importantly, this plan was Arnim Sola's suggestion!
Arnim Sola was the chief scientist of Hydra during World War II. At the same time, he was also a top genius. In 1972, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Limited by the technology and medical standards at that time, this chief scientist did not have long to live.
But his mind, brain, and the knowledge in it were extremely valuable.
So, someone used a 200,000-square-foot database to simulate his brain and mind. In a sense, he was the first intelligent life. He had his own thoughts and mind, and he would never make mistakes.
With the help of Arnim Sola, Hydra achieved great success.
In a sense, he was the backbone of Hydra's decision-making. Many of the orders were given by him.
Pierce would not have done anything to Nagini if any of the above four aspects were missing. But none of them were missing. This was very comfortable.
Maybe this was Nagini's fate?
Pierce waved the people in the meeting away and sat on the chair that Frey was sitting in. He looked tired. After all, he was old. This kind of high-intensity flight was very tiring.
In addition to his physical exhaustion, he was also mentally exhausted.
It was too dangerous just now. What if Nagini really escaped?
Then everything would be over!
One positive and one negative. This was the difference between heaven and earth.
Pierce rubbed his eyebrows. Just as he was about to leave, the phone in his pocket rang …
In the interrogation room of S.H.E.L.D., Nagini was bored. The hard steel was like plasticine in his hand. He kneaded it into various shapes. He was having a lot of fun.
The departing crossbones returned, and unlike the last time, he did not bring Mr. O'Brien with him.
After Crossbones called Pierce, the other party had sent Nagini's information to Hydra's internal personnel. So, he was very clear that his Mr. Brian could not make Nagini submit.
But no matter what, Crossbones was still very confident in Nagini.
"Superstar, we meet again?"
Nagini glanced at the other party and ignored him. The iron in his hand turned into an S, then a B.
Crossbones was not angry. He knew that conventional methods could not make Nagini submit.
In fact, with the distance between them, the only one in danger was himself.
But he did not think so. Instead, he coughed and his eyes flashed with seriousness. "Nick Frey was suspended for investigation."
Nagini's hand movements paused. He raised his head and glanced at the other party. "What do you want to say?"
Noticing that Nagini's hand movements stopped, Crossbones' eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.
Make a move on Nagini's family?
That was courting death!
After exhausting more than a dozen intelligence analysts and hundreds of intelligence personnel, Hydra finally came to a conclusion: Nagini had a personality flaw and lacked love. So, don't make a move on his family.
Because of this layer of concern, Nick Frey, who just helped Nagini, was a very good breakthrough.
So, he coughed lightly and his expression was threatening.
"We have sufficient evidence to prove that he is covering for you."
Nagini shook his head with a playful expression. "So?"
A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes. Crossbones looked at Nagini sincerely. "As long as you admit to the crime, I can remove Nick Frey from this case."
Removal was a must. After all, Nagini did not escape. Even if some things were well known, there was no evidence.
But what about Frey's fate?
Crossbones could only laugh. Hydra did not need a disobedient dog.
Nagini was stunned. He shook his head and put down the S and B in his hands. He helplessly looked at Crossbones in front of him. "Do you know that I especially don't like your current face?"
Obviously, Crossbones did not understand what Nagini meant. He said rather firmly, "I am not afraid of death. Otherwise, I would not appear in front of you."
Nagini shook his head with a pitiful expression. "You think I want to kill you?
No, I just want to beat you up. And I want your director to beat you up. "
Crossbones was stunned. He frowned. "Are you kidding?
This joke is not funny. "
Pierce would beat him up?
Don't mess around. The one who wanted Nagini to suffer the most was Director Pierce. Would he help Nagini beat him up?
What an international joke!
If not for his fear of death, Director Pierce would be the one interrogating him now!
However, Nagini shook his head and pointed at the watch on Crossbones' wrist. "It is 20 minutes away from my estimate. Although I don't know what happened, I think it should be soon."
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the interrogation room opened. Nagini's lips curled into an inquisitive smile. Crossbones felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.
He did not know why, but he had a bad feeling.
"Director, why are you here?"
Looking at Pierce's uncertain expression, Crossbones was puzzled and uneasy, but he still braced himself and asked.
However, Pierce ignored him. His expression was solemn, and his tone was somewhat uneasy and anxious. "Nagini, tell me, where did you hide the Light of Sarta!"
Nagini shook his head. He crushed the S and B on the table into three letters, MIB. Then, he pointed at the shocked Crossbones not far away.
"Let's not talk about this first. Beat him up!
Beat him up! "
