After hearing Caite's words, Pierce was almost certain that he had been exposed.
"What are you talking about, Ms. Carte…I don't quite understand."
But even so, he was still struggling on the verge of death.
"You understand, Pierce."
Beside Cater, Nick Fury, who was sitting obediently in the vice-seat, also spoke with a hint of coldness.
When Kate found him and told him everything, Nick Fury really wanted to find a gun and shoot himself.
Without his knowledge, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been completely wiped out-this was the greatest humiliation to him!
"When did you join Hydra?”
After hearing Kate mention the Hydra, Pierce understood that things were irreversible.
"Always have been, Lady Carte."
"I'm a Hydra from the very beginning.”
"Although I don't know what happened to you, Madam Kate…"
His expression slowly turned from panic to indifference. The dignified but upright secretary general seemed to have turned into an evil person in an instant.
"You shouldn't have revealed your purpose so easily.”
He said softly to Ka Te.
So what if the other party discovered his identity?
The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. was under him. How could Nick Fury and Cater fight him?
Pierce took out a small button and pressed it.
" There will be a fire in S.H.I.E.L.D. today, and Ms. Cater and Director Nick Fury will die in the fire…This is really a pity."
Pierce said coldly after he pressed the button.
But...
"If you're waiting for reinforcements, then I think you don't have to wait anymore-they're being beaten up by Captain America.”
The voice behind him made Pierce's heart go cold. He immediately turned around.
He did not know when, but there was already someone standing at the door of the secret office.
"Akers Dunn…"
Pierce shouted Tang Lin's name word by word.
At this point, he also knew that he was not the only one who was exposed, but the entire Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D.
"How did you do it?"
However, he did not understand how the other party managed to control all the Hydra agents at the same time. This was because Hydra members already occupied the majority of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.!
"Very simple."
Kate coldly said with murderous intent," Including the highest level nine agents, everyone needs to go through the most detailed identity screening, information evaluation, and psychological test. Those who can't pass the test or are difficult to judge are all eliminated.”
"All weapons projects will be stopped. We will start screening from the most basic workers.”
"Three motherships…Destroy them all!"
What was courage? This was courage. Kate's actions were basically no different from disbanding the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. and starting anew.
If it was Nick Fury, then the decision itself would be difficult, and it would basically be a life-and-death struggle with Hydra--because after this incident, the Security Council would no longer trust him.
However, as the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., a military bigshot, and a war hero, Kate was different.
With just a word from her, they could start the operation immediately, and even the military or the Security Council would not have any objections. Her speed was like a storm, and some of the Hydra agents did not even have the chance to report.
"What about you? Akers Dunn…Have you finally joined S.H.I.E.L.D.?”
"No, no, no, don't misunderstand. I'm not interested in S.H.I.E.L.D. or anything like that. Your underlings were all dealt with by Captain Mei and Tony.”
Tang Lin waved his hand. Don't make a move on people you can't afford to offend. Otherwise, the consequences will be more serious than you think.”
"Is it really because of that assassination?"
Pierce smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that his only mistake in so many years would ruin the organization's many years of accumulation.
However, in the next moment, the bitter smile on his face turned cold.
Then, he raised his head and shouted the standard line of the Hydra,“HailHydra!”
As he shouted this, he instantly tore the tie on his chest.
then...
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the tie that was actually tied with a miniature bomb blew Pierce into pieces.
Of course, Tang Lin would not be injured by an explosion of this degree, but he was a little puzzled.
"He died so decisively?"
According to the normal routine, shouldn't a cornered villain struggle before dying?
Why did Pierce die so decisively?
"Ms. Cater, Director Fury, Dr. Selvig, is also a Hydra. The Cosmic Cube has been moved away by Hydra!”
But soon, Coulson, who had rushed into the meeting room, told Tang Lin the reason.
Universe Cube!
Upon hearing this name, Tang Lin was instantly shocked.
"Universe Cube?"
There was no need for Nick Fury to explain. When Cater heard this name, he immediately stood up.
"Nick Fury!"
She almost screamed at the director."I remember reminding you not to try to turn that thing into a weapon. That is not a power that we humans can come into contact with now!”
As someone who had witnessed the aftermath of Hydra's research on the Cosmic Cube during World War II, Kate knew that the power of the Cosmic Cube was not something that humans could touch.
It was too powerful and too difficult to control-the pursuit of its power would only lead to self-destruction.
So when Captain America went missing and the Cosmic Cube fell into the hands of the military, Carter and Howard Stark managed to get this powerful energy source out of the military.
Furthermore, they had also stipulated that apart from Howard himself who could conduct some basic energy research, they were absolutely forbidden from starting any weapons research projects against the Cosmic Cube.
" Times are different now, Lady Carte…"
" The council and I both believe that the speed at which humans are developing their own martial arts is no longer sufficient to protect themselves…That's why we passed the 'Universe Cube Plan'.”
At this moment, Nick Fury revealed a bitter expression." Without a stronger force, we won't be able to gain the right to live freely in the hands of those powerful alien civilizations and monster-like existences…"
When Nick Fury said that, Tang Lin touched his nose awkwardly--because he knew that what Nick Fury said was most likely related to him.
Most likely, it was because of the power and deterrence he had shown, coupled with the matter of the frost giants and the Asgardians, that the Security Council had passed the research plan on the cosmic cube.
"Coulson, can you find out where the Cosmic Cube has been taken?”
“... " There's no way to find out, Ms. Carte. Our intelligence system has been seriously corrupted by the Hydra. Almost all the information we saw before was deliberately released to us. We don't even know when the Cosmic Cube was stolen.”
Coulson said solemnly.
At this point, things seemed to have fallen into a dead end. The Cosmic Cube must have been brought to their hidden headquarters by the Hydra, but Kate and Nick Fury could do nothing about it.
"Damn it, they must have brought the cube back to their headquarters…"
Nick Fury slammed the table hard, but he didn't react even when his hand was bleeding.
This was because he knew that the Hydra's headquarters must be very well-hidden. It was basically impossible for them to find it.
"I know where the Hydra headquarters is…"
“... What?"
Seeing Tang Lin leaning against the door and talking casually, Nick Fury and Caite were dumbfounded.
"Sokovia."
"Their headquarters is in Sokovia," Tang Lin said calmly.”
