Chapter 57 Hearing and the Game Come

"There must be more than one conspirator, but he is definitely one of them."

Bruce turned to look at the building opposite the cafe, "Alexander Pierce has been able to lurk in S.H.I.E.L.D. for so many years. He is obviously a smart man. He must have realized that his identity has been exposed, so he will take action. This wave is a public opinion offensive. ”

"In other words, as long as we deal with Alexander Pierce, we can change public opinion?"

"Haha, you are too naive, Steve. Things are far from as simple as you think, but for now, we can indeed find a breakthrough from Alexander Pierce."

The two stared at the building opposite the cafe.

On the upper floors of the building, Alexander Pierce also looked down through the glass walls to the street below.

"Sir, he is making a lot of moves now, and several of us have lost contact!" A bald agent said with a stern expression, holding a tablet in his hand.

The 'he' in the bald man's mouth obviously refers to Nick Fury.

"I know him very well. He is a very difficult opponent, but I have also prepared a big gift for him. At tomorrow's hearing, I will tell him and his Avengers to get out!"

Alexander clenched his fists and waved his arms, with a distorted expression on his face: "And Bucky and Steve, they must die!"

He had previously believed that Captain America Steve Rogers would defect to Hydra because of a quiz game, so he excitedly sent Bucky to find him.

It took a lot of effort to finally find the person, but in the end it was a waste of money. Not only did they lose a base, but they also lost the Winter Soldier Bucky.

Especially when Bucky won a mysterious reward in the quiz game and his strength greatly increased, Alexander was so angry that he almost jumped.

Hydra has used brainwashing to control Bucky for so many years, and has long since turned him into an obedient and efficient killing machine. It is very easy to use, but it is gone after he says no.

It would be gone if not, but he defected to the enemy camp and became stronger than before!

Alexander hated Bucky and Steve so much that he was also angry at the quiz game. He cursed hatefully: "It's a damn game that almost ruined everything for me, but you want to defeat me just like that? Don't even think about it!"

Meanwhile, Nick Fury has been warned by well-wishers that there's going to be big trouble at tomorrow's hearing.

This hearing is not for Nick Fury alone, but for SHIELD and the Avengers. As a representative, the bald director must be questioned at the hearing.

"Is the hearing a conspiracy of Alexander Pierce?" Agent Coulson looked worried, "Sir, our current situation is not optimistic."

"He doesn't have that much right. The hearing represents the official attitude, do you understand?" Nick Fury wiped his bald head a little irritably, "Damn, they are all a bunch of bastards who are not doing anything serious!"

The video of the Battle of New York is equivalent to a public execution of the Free Beacon officials, especially in the context of the Avengers, which makes the officials even more incompetent and useless.

I heard that the two parties above have reached a consensus. They both believe that individual heroism should not be promoted. The existence of the Avengers will become a destabilizing factor for the entire society!

It is also in this context that Alexander Pierce has the opportunity to stir up trouble and add fuel to the flames.

Because of the pressure from outside public opinion and tomorrow's hearing, Nick Fury has been running around here and there these days, but he just hasn't done anything serious.

The Battle of New York showed that the earth will face the crisis of alien invasion in the future. If we do not prepare in advance at this time, we will hinder our own people and engage in internal fighting.

It's no wonder that Earth's science and technology has been developing for so many years, but it still can't move towards the stars and the sea.

Just when Nick Fury was distressed, Natasha brought another piece of bad news: "A congressman has submitted a bill to the top to conduct a hearing on Tony Stark. There is a high probability that he will attend with you."

"Did he make any news again?" Nick Fury had an even more headache.

Tony Stark, such an unstable factor, appeared at the hearing, and he had already foreseen that tomorrow's hearing would be an absolute disaster.

"He resigned as CEO and appointed Pepper Potts as chairman and CEO of Stark Industries." Natasha shrugged, "This caused a little fluctuation in their family's stock. In addition, Tony also I gave away the ark armor."

"Who? Who did he give it to?"

"Colonel Rhodes of the military."

"Damn it, if he does this, it will make tomorrow's hearing even more difficult!"

"You should be mentally prepared for this. Do you remember that I reminded you that even if Tony Stark performed well in the Battle of New York, he is always an unstable factor." Natasha shrugged.

Nick Fury immediately called Tony Stark and told the playboy to roll out of bed.

The two have to discuss how to deal with tomorrow's hearing.

At this moment, Tony was making love with Pepper Potts, enjoying their time together. Nick Fury's call made him very disappointed, "Isn't it just a hearing? It's not a big deal, just leave it to me!"

Haha, it’s because of you that I’m worried!

In the end, Tony Stark still couldn't bear the bombardment of calls from the bald director, and ran to a safe house for a meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures.

Steve and Bruce also brought back the results of their day's tracking, which was lackluster. Alexander Pierce stayed in the office and didn't go anywhere.

The two also said they were powerless about tomorrow's hearing.

As a visitor from another world, Bruce could not get involved in such things. Although Steve had the aura of Captain America, he was misunderstood as a Hydra spy last time. Even if he had cleared his suspicion, his situation was not very good.

After all, the public is easily led by public opinion. It is very common to say black is white and white is black. Public opinion, public opinion, can also be understood as fooling.

No specific countermeasures were discussed in one night. The main reason was that Tony Stark was unwilling to follow the arrangements of the bald director. In the end, they had to reach some simple tacit understandings, such as eye contact.

On the second day, at the hearing site.

When seeing Alexander Pierce also appear, Nick Fury realized that this was a tough battle!

The development of the situation was as he expected. Members of the two parties continued to attack, seizing the two points that the Avengers were out of control and SHIELD's mistake in handling the Cosmic Cube.

With Alexander Pierce, the former director of SHIELD, stirring up trouble, Nick Fury soon found himself cornered.

Alexander Pierce looked at his embarrassed appearance with sweat on his forehead and couldn't help but smile smugly. He looked around and saw that they were all my people. What could you, a salted egghead, do to fight me?

At this moment, a loud voice resounded throughout the venue: "The quiz game is about to begin. Please get ready, players!"
