Chapter 408: The King Returns? 3
boom--
Accompanied by an explosion, the fire spread rapidly, and the red flames swept towards the top floor of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building.
Around the building, several rescue helicopters and news helicopters were hovering in the sky, watching this grand event together and broadcasting the entire process live.
And under the S.H.I.E.L.D. building, the New York Fire Department and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stood in a neat row, staring blankly at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building being engulfed by fire.
Fire trucks and agents were holding water guns and releasing several small jets of water towards the flames on the building, but it was too late.
Not far away, Alexander's lips were trembling and Natasha was staring. Both of them looked dazed and had the same expression of disbelief.
This is Alexander's first day taking over S.H.I.E.L.D....
SHIELD's headquarters...it's gone.
Alexander put his hands into his golden hair and cursed with a sad face:
"What a disaster! Carter is simply a disaster! How long has she been here? My S.H.I.E.L.D., my S.H.I.E.L.D...."
This was too much of a blow for Alexander, especially when he learned that the fire broke out in the toilet on the third underground floor of S.H.I.E.L.D. The pain made him look nervous, and even his eyes were a little dazed.
"Who's calling me?" Hearing someone calling her name again, Carter squeezed out from the crowd of SHIELD onlookers. She trotted to Alexander, stood still, raised her hand and saluted:
"Secretary General, were you calling me just now?"
"Call me Chief!!"
Looking at Carter right in front of him, Alexander's eyes were wide open, the veins on his neck were throbbing wildly, and he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
But he finally gritted his teeth, swallowed his curse words, stared at Carter with a dark face and asked:
"Agent Carter! Why are you still here? Didn't I order you to hunt down Captain America Steve? If you can't catch him, you are not allowed to come back! You are not allowed to come back--!"
I never want to see you again!
The New York headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. was originally built by Nick with a huge amount of funding from Alexander. It not only stores an aerospace fighter that is about to be completed, but also most of the equipment and information of the Insight Project, as well as his deeper secret base of Hydra.
And now everything... is ruined!
The only good news is that the agents evacuated in a timely manner and are all safe and sound.
When these bastards saw that the situation was not good, no one thought of staying to put out the fire. Instead, they immediately called their friends and evacuated from the headquarters.
The thought of this made Alexander so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
That was all his money! Unlike Nick, the ungrateful man, that money was the capital that Hydra had worked so hard to save!
Just burned it down like that...
"Chasing Steve?" Carter chuckled and asked for credit:
“Report to the Secretary General!
I just called Steve and told him I wanted to arrest him. I hope he can come to SHIELD headquarters so I can arrest him.
Steve agreed reluctantly, so I am waiting here to bring Steve over so that I can capture him successfully~
Director~My mission is about to be completed. This simple task is a test for me, right?
Hehehe...I can't wait to start working with my colleagues."
Looking at Carter's face that seemed to be seeking credit, Alexander pointed at Carter's face and his face turned blue with anger.
"Give it to me, give it to me..."
Before he could even utter the word "get out", Alexander rolled his eyes, tilted his head back, and fell down.
Looking at Alexander falling down, Natasha quickly flashed forward, raised her hand to avoid Alexander's falling body, and watched Alexander fall heavily to the ground.
Looking at Alexander twitching on the spot, Natasha shook her head with sympathy and said:
"The shoes have fallen off. It seems that the director is beyond help."
Alexander's mouth opened and closed. He was so angry at Carter and Natasha's continuous attacks that he almost had a cerebral congestion and died.
Finally, Alexander's head twitched and he fainted from happiness.
When Alexander lost consciousness, Ward's anxious expression quickly cooled down, and his pace of rushing forward became slower and slower. He slowly walked to Natasha's side, lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Alexander who was lying on the ground, and asked indifferently:
"Before the fire broke out, our agents discovered that someone had broken into the SHIELD headquarters. I suspect Nick Fury has returned, and it is very likely that he was the one who started the fire just now."
"This is impossible." Natasha rubbed her brows with her fingers and shook her head.
"Nick has always regarded SHIELD as his own asset. It is impossible for him to do something that would harm others and not benefit himself."
Natasha glanced at Carter beside her and confirmed:
"This is most likely an accident."
Blinking, Carter had no idea what Natasha and Ward were talking about.
She looked at Alexander lying on the ground and asked Natasha:
"What happened to the Secretary General? Did he faint?"
"No——" Natasha raised her lips and said:
"The Secretary-General has been working hard and making great contributions. He has devoted all his efforts to the development of S.H.I.E.L.D. Now he is too tired, so he wants to lie on the ground and take a nap.
How could you think that the Secretary General fainted? He was once one of the ace agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and had a strong psychological endurance.
It's just that the SHIELD headquarters burned down. It's nothing to be surprised about, and it won't make a top agent lose his composure like that."
"Oh." Carter nodded and asked:
"But isn't it cold to sleep directly on the ground?"
"It's a bit cold, so Agent Carter, please take the Secretary General to the car over there to rest for a while, and we will deal with the next matter.
I believe that when he wakes up, he will be very happy to see that you care about him so much."
……
Climbing out of the sewer, Nick's face was dark.
From the ignition of the fire, the gradual spread of the flames, the gradual encroachment of the fire, until the destruction of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
All these scenes were displayed in front of him, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., through the monitor.
What made Nick even more unbearable was that when the fire broke out, a group of agents he had never seen before suddenly ran out from the underground of S.H.I.E.L.D.
And it comes in an endless stream.
It was not until this moment that Nick finally understood that this was not a workplace struggle between him and Alexander, but that he, Nick, had always been pushed to the front by Alexander to be used as a shield, and then pulled back to be played around with like a monkey.
Nick gritted his teeth, his head buzzed, and he said viciously:
"What a great Alexander Pierce, what a Hydra!
There is truth in falsehood, and falsehood in truth. Use truth as falsehood, and falsehood as truth!
I was really fooled by them, and I never expected that Hydra was hiding inside S.H.I.E.L.D."
Nick was so angry that he was shaking at the thought of his SHIELD headquarters being gone.
He swindled countless funds and spent countless costs to successfully build the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters!
There was not only the Sky Carrier inside, but also the Insight Project and his countless hidden tricks inside, and they were all burned down in a fire...
Nick's feet went weak and he collapsed to the sidewalk.
Frank wiped off the black dust on his face, ignored Hammer's crazy complaints, and looked at Nick with a pale face and said:
"Think positively and don't be too sad. At least you made me happy~"
Nick felt like he was stabbed in the chest again, and he was in excruciating pain.
Nick himself knew that the toilet on the third underground floor of SHIELD would not catch fire for no reason, and right below that toilet was one of SHIELD's secret research bases.
And what is being studied there happens to be the Cosmic Cube...
Nick gritted his teeth and stood up. He looked at Alexander who was carried into the ambulance by Carter, narrowed his eyes, and said through gritted teeth:
"Let's go! These Hydra agents are busy putting out fires. This is our best chance..."
"Let's go?" Frank grabbed Nick and glanced at the Hydra agents everywhere. These people were in groups of three or five, pointing and chatting at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
"Where are you going? Do you think you're making a movie? Are you coming back as the king?
"Will these Hydra agents bow down to you if you shout? Or do you think they are all blind?"
