Chapter 165 May the stars guide our path, goodbye

"What a great Chen Ye! He's really good at talking!" Pierce stared at Chen Ye's interview on the TV screen with a gloomy face, his eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions.

He really didn't expect that the three powerful mushroom clouds couldn't even kill Chen Ye.

And now, he himself was in trouble and could hardly save himself. If he had not reached some secret deal with Lady Hydra and Baron Strucker, he would probably have been imprisoned in a cold prison.

Pierce knew that, at least for a period of time, he could no longer take any action against Chen Ye.

He must first get the affairs of SHIELD and the New Avengers in order.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and his eyes fell on Mr. Fantastic Reed who was sitting opposite him.

Reed was also looking at Chen Ye on the TV screen, his mood was extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he was glad that he did not have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving tens of millions of lives, and he was also glad that his companions were safe and sound.

He understood that the future Avengers would still need this group of core members as the backbone, and Susan and the others would be his right-hand men.

However, on the other hand, Reed could not hide his jealousy towards Chen Ye.

He longed to be surrounded by the media and admired by the world like Chen Ye.

In his opinion, if he were standing in front of the camera, he would be able to speak better and more touchingly than Chen Ye.

He secretly made up his mind that one day, he would let the whole world know that Mr. Fantastic Reed was the real hero who protected the earth!

Although he has joined Hydra, he always believes that this is to maintain world peace.

Suddenly, he was snapped out of his thoughts when he felt Pierce's eyes on him.

"Avengers...what are you going to do?" Director Pierce's words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly striking Reed's mind.

He raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with determination and expectation.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then looked at Pierce, waiting for his next words.

Chief Pierce looked at him with admiration in his eyes.

His deep, powerful voice echoed through the room. "When everyone returns, I will appoint you as the captain of the Avengers. This is part of the deal between you and me."

When Reid heard this, he felt an indescribable excitement and anticipation in his heart.

He knew that this was the opportunity he had always dreamed of and the goal he had been working hard for.

But at the same time, he also felt some uneasiness and doubts.

After all, the Avengers are now without Nick Fury, so there is bound to be chaos.

But this is also an opportunity to prove himself, and he must seize it.

He took a deep breath, then looked at Director Pierce confidently: "Don't worry, Director Pierce, under your leadership, I believe I will be able to control the Avengers very soon, and the Avengers will become the last line of defense to protect the world!"

Reed already had his own plan. He planned to win over a group of people and suppress another group.

He intends to suppress the die-hard fans of Nick Fury, such as Captain America and Hawkeye.

And new members like Dr. Banner are his best choices.

At the same time, he will also look for other capable people to join the new Avengers.

Suddenly, Reed had an idea and suggested, "Director Pierce, I think the Avengers should also change their name. After all, the Avengers is the product of the previous Nick Fury, and we should completely remove his mark."

When Director Pierce heard the proposal, he immediately became interested.

He nodded, motioning for Reid to continue.

Reed's heart moved, he knew this was a good opportunity to show himself.

He quickly said, "This is just my humble opinion. The specific name still needs to be decided by you, Director Pierce."

Chief Pierce looked at Reed and secretly admired him. He didn't expect Reed to learn the ways of the world so quickly, which made him feel very relieved.

So, he said in a good mood: "Come and get it. I want to hear your thoughts."

Reed was delighted, he knew his chance had come.

Reed took a deep breath and blurted out, "Why not just call it the Illuminati."

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Pierce frowned.

Chief Pierce thought for a moment, then asked, "The Illuminati? Why?"

Although his voice was calm, it revealed a seriousness and depth.

Reed did not answer immediately, his heart was full of hesitation and confusion.

He didn't know why he said this name, but in his heart, it seemed as if there was a voice calling him to say this name.

It was as if the voice was saying, "May the stars guide you and me, goodbye!"

That voice seemed to be engraved in his mind and he could never forget it.

When Chief Pierce saw that Reed didn't say anything, he was silent for a moment.

Then he nodded in agreement.

His action made Reed feel relieved.

Reed knew that he had successfully taken the first step.

He looked at Director Pierce deeply, then turned and left the office. His back was full of determination and faith.

However, Reed did not notice that the moment he turned around, Chief Pierce's eyes revealed a look of mockery and sarcasm.

"Hmph, the Illuminati, the Illuminati, you joined Hydra and still want to be illuminated by the light? It's impossible. Reed, the moment you joined Hydra, you lost the light, and you can only live with darkness for the rest of your life. It seems that you are a wolf that can never be tamed." Pierce has his own understanding of the name Illuminati.

He misunderstood the Illuminati and saw them as a being opposed to Hydra.

In his eyes, Hydra is a symbol of darkness, while the Illuminati represents light.

Therefore, he believed that Reed's desire to join the Illuminati was a betrayal and denial of Hydra.

However, Reed didn't know any of this.

He left the office happy and looking forward to his future in the Illuminati.

He was still fantasizing that as long as the Fantastic Four united, he, as the captain, would surely lead the new Illuminati to save world peace and enjoy the love of everyone.

Reed didn't know that three of the Fantastic Four were now having a disagreement in Hell's Kitchen.

The fuse was Chen Ye and Hell's Kitchen.
