Chapter 239 Pierce is attacked
After hearing Richard's words, Pietro's first reaction was to refute him.
But thinking of his previous experience, he suppressed the idea of refutation, shut his mouth, and turned his head to the other side like a child.
After seeing Pietro's action, Richard smiled and shook his head.
Not long after, the clerk of the gold shop prepared the cash and handed them a suitcase.
Richard asked Pietro to check the US dollars and Sokovia coins in the suitcase.
After confirming that the amount was correct, he took Pietro and Wanda out of the gold shop.
As for the next thing, it was very simple.
He first took Pietro and Wanda to a high-end restaurant, and enjoyed the local food with them in the restaurant.
Then, he took them to find a real estate agency and rented a luxury apartment in the city.
After doing all this, time came to the evening.
Although there were enough rooms in the apartment, Richard did not choose to spend the night in the apartment.
After saying goodbye to Pietro and Wanda, he teleported to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, took out the Cosmic Cube, and created a space gate to return to Los Angeles.
Passing through the space gate, he returned to Los Angeles.
Because of the time difference, it was already late at night in Los Angeles.
Although it was late, Richard didn't care and teleported to the city center.
More than an hour later.
He checked in at a five-star hotel in Los Angeles.
He left all the US dollars he exchanged for gold bricks to Pietro and Wanda.
In order to have money to stay in a five-star hotel, he went to "visit" several gangster bosses in Los Angeles.
Then, he had tens of millions of US dollars.
Although he didn't have a legal ID, it was not a problem for him at all.
He simply telepathized with the hotel receptionist, and the receptionist used her ID to help him check in.
Of course, he still paid the money himself.
Although the income of the receptionist was not low, it was not enough to pay the monthly rent of the presidential suite.
Even if the other party can pay the money, Richard will not let the other party spend it.
Presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.
Richard was lying in the bathtub taking a hot bath.
At the same time, he was thinking about the next arrangements.
It was not difficult for him to complete this world challenge.
But in order to make his life happier in this world, he felt that it was necessary to arrange some things for himself.
After thinking about it, he soon had an idea.
Conquer Hydra!
Although conquering Hydra will lead to changes in the future plot, he doesn't care much.
As long as he controls the degree of his intervention and does not do things that will seriously change the development of the plot, such as killing Tony or Thor, he doesn't need to worry too much.
After making a decision, he emptied his mind and took a comfortable hot bath.
After staying in the bathroom for about half an hour, he left the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel and went to the bed in the bedroom to lie down.
Noon.
Richard, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the time, he took out a set of clean clothes from the system space and put them on, and went to the bathroom to wash.
After having lunch in the hotel restaurant, he returned to the presidential suite where he lived and sat in the living room to rest for a while.
Then, he took out the cosmic cube from the system space and created a gateway to Washington DC.
To be precise, he created a space gate to the sky above the Triskelion Headquarters of SHIELD.
This is the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This means that Alexander Pierce is the Minister of the Security Council.
After passing through the space gate and arriving above the Triskelion Headquarters of SHIELD, he first closed the space gate and then used telepathy.
Without much effort, he used telepathy to lock Alexander Pierce on the top floor of the Triskelion Headquarters Building.
After locking Pierce, he did not immediately use teleportation to go over, but browsed the other party's memory.
Winter Soldier, Zora Algorithm, Aerospace Mothership...
As he guessed, the Hydra branch headed by Alexander Pierce began to use the Insight Plan to conquer the world early.
Let's not talk about the Zora Algorithm.
Zora, who had already transferred his consciousness to the computer, had done it early.
As for the aerospace carrier, SHIELD has also started manufacturing it early.
Although there is only one now, and it still uses a traditional turbine engine, SHIELD now has a second aerospace carrier anyway.
As for the other aerospace carriers, they are still being manufactured in full swing.
Not only that, if everything develops according to the plot of the movie, when Tony personally experiences the traditional turbine engine, he will provide some improvement suggestions to SHIELD, allowing SHIELD to replace the traditional turbine engine with a new generation of flight engine.
After finding the information he wanted in Pierce's mind and browsing it completely, Richard performed teleportation and moved to Pierce's office instantly.
Pierce, wearing a gray suit, sat behind his desk and browsed the documents in his hand.
Richard's arrival did not make much noise, but he still noticed Richard's arrival at the first time.
In other words, as long as he was not blind, he could see Richard who appeared out of thin air and sat in front of him at the first time.
After seeing Richard, Pierce was stunned for a moment.
Then, he immediately frowned.
Although he didn't know Richard, he was already sure that Richard was not from SHIELD.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has many agents.
But today's S.H.I.E.L.D. does not have agents with superpowers.
"Who are you?"
Pierce asked Richard.
"My name is Richard, and as you can see, I'm a superhuman."
Richard said slowly.
"What is your purpose in finding me?"
Pierce continued to ask.
"Nothing, I just want to help you."
Richard said slowly.
Help me?
Pierce looked at Richard warily and said quickly: "I don't think I need your help in any way. Please leave my office immediately."
After saying that, he picked up the phone on his desk, as if he wanted to notify the guard.
"If you're not afraid of them finding out you're one of the leaders of Hydra, call the guards."
Richard said calmly.
Upon hearing his words, Pierce quickly said: "I don't know what you're talking about."
"There's no one else here, there's no need for you to act in front of me."
"I won't follow you around anymore, I'm ready to unify Hydra."
"I know that you are now divided into several branches, and I also know who the leaders of the other branches are."
"I'll give you a chance now to be my subordinate without killing you."
"Otherwise, today will be the last day of your life. As for the insight plan you formulated, you will have little chance to witness it with your own eyes."
Richard said calmly.
After hearing his words, Pierce immediately fell silent.
It was not particularly surprising to him that Richard was a superhuman.
Although there are no superhuman agents in S.H.I.E.L.D., S.H.I.E.L.D. has dealt with some restless superhumans before.
But he didn't expect that Richard actually knew that the Insight Project and Hydra had several branches.
More importantly, he didn't think Richard was joking with him.
If he refused, Richard would definitely not mind killing him immediately.
"Who are you exactly?"
Pierce asked with a serious face.
"As I said just now, my name is Richard, and I am a superhuman."
Richard replied casually.
After a few seconds, Pierce continued: "I can't believe you."
"You don't need to believe me, you just have to choose to accept or reject."
"Accept it and you can continue to live."
"If you refuse, I will kill you immediately."
"I'll give you a minute to think about it."
After saying that, Richard ignored Pierce, stood up, and walked towards the wine cabinet.
Soon, he came to the wine cabinet.
After looking at the wine in the wine cabinet, he turned his back to Pierce and said, "Your wine collection is not good. They are all ordinary whiskey."
"Also, you can put down the gun in your hand. Guns are weapons used to deal with ordinary people. They can't deal with me."
After speaking, Richard took out a relatively good bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet.
After hearing his words, a tangled expression appeared on Pierce's face.
After thinking carefully, he finally put down the pistol in his hand.
Richard ignored him, poured himself a glass, and took a sip.
Although he is not a professional wine taster, he can still tell whether a bottle of whiskey tastes good or not.
Apart from anything else, he used to drink a lot of precious whiskeys of collectible quality.
Compared with the whiskeys he drank before, the taste of this bottle of whiskey was relatively much worse.
But compared to regular whiskey, it’s not too bad.
In any case, the whiskey in the wine cabinet was either drunk by Pierce himself or used to entertain guests, so it wouldn't be too bad.
Time passes little by little.
Soon, a minute passed.
"The time has come, give me a final reply."
Richard turned to look at Pierce and said calmly.
"I will be your subordinate, and I also want to see how you will unify Hydra."
Pierce replied quickly.
His expression and tone were sincere, but Richard said slowly: "You shouldn't be careful in front of me. I have the super power of reading minds."
"Even if I stood there and let the Winter Soldier attack me, he wouldn't be able to hurt me."
"It's normal for you to have such thoughts. If you were to surrender to me willingly immediately, it would be unreasonable."
"However, I still have to teach you a small lesson."
As soon as he finished speaking, Richard's eyes shone with red light.
The next second, the laser-like heat ray hit Pierce's right shoulder, easily piercing through his right shoulder.
Without any suspense, Pierce immediately screamed when the heat ray pierced his right shoulder.
"Forget it this time."
"If there is a next time, I won't attack your shoulder, but your head."
"Call the guards to take you to the infirmary. You should know what to say and what not to say."
After saying that, Richard, who was holding the wine glass, used teleportation and disappeared from Pierce's sight.
When he disappeared completely, Pierce did not immediately pick up the phone and call the guard. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the wound on his shoulder.
After looking at the wound, he picked up the phone and called the guard.
Not long after, two guards in black uniforms came to the office.
After seeing the injured Pierce, the two guards immediately showed surprised expressions.
Just when they were about to say something, Pierce's voice rang out.
"Take me to the infirmary immediately."
Piers snapped.
"Yes, sir!"
The two guards replied at the same time, quickly came to Pierce, helped him leave the office, and rushed towards the infirmary.
The sky above the Tri-Wing Building headquarters.
Richard held the wine glass and floated ten thousand meters in the air, using his super vision to look at Pierce who was being taken out of the office by the guards.
Soon, Pierce was taken to the infirmary and received treatment.
While he was receiving treatment, Nick Fury, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., wearing a long black trench coat and wearing a black trench coat, brought Agent Hill to the infirmary.
Looking at Pierce who was being treated in the infirmary in the observation corridor.
"Who attacked him?"
Nick Fury said to Agent Hill.
"I don't know, he didn't say who the attacker was."
"I have asked people to check the surveillance video and found no suspicious targets."
"As for the guard who brought him to the infirmary, I have also arranged for someone to inquire."
Agent Hill quickly replied.
After hearing Agent Hill's answer, Nick Fury frowned and said, "Block the news immediately."
"Pierce is the minister of the Security Council. If the news that he was attacked in the SHIELD headquarters building gets out, it will cause a lot of trouble for SHIELD."
As soon as he finished speaking, Agent Hill quickly said: "I had already arranged for someone to block the news before coming here."
"very good!"
"Looks like his life is not in danger. Come with me to his office."
Nick Fury continued.
Agent Hill nodded immediately without any hesitation.
They never imagined that their conversation could be heard clearly by Richard, who was tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
They don't even know that Richard is currently using telepathy to read their memories.
Before they arrived at Pierce's office, Richard had already found the information they wanted in their minds and released the telepathy.
After doing this, he decisively used telepathy and came to New York from Washington, DC.
To be precise, it is a secret base of SHIELD near Times Square in New York.
The reason why Richard came here is very simple, because Captain Rogers, who was dug out from the North Pole, is now in this secret base.
At this time, Captain America has not yet awakened, and SHIELD is studying how to awaken him who has been frozen for more than 70 years.
Richard just searched Nick Fury's memory just to find out where Captain America is now.
At this time, he was floating at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, using his super vision to observe the sleeping Captain America.
