Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 135: Why is it still called S.H.I.E.L.D.? Let’s call it Serpent Shield!

Before Harry and the others arrived, Nick Fury was relying on surveillance satellites to keep an eye on Harry and his group's every move, so he was not surprised by their arrival.

However, as soon as Harry opened his mouth, those questioning words instantly made his nerves tense, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and his heart was in his throat.

So what exactly was exposed?

Were the billions of dollars in campaign funds that he had misappropriated and embezzled discovered?

Were there dozens of secret bases built secretly around the world to deal with various potential threats, and some of them were accidentally exposed?

It's impossible that everything is exposed, right?
Or is it that the project of secretly researching the Space Cube and trying to use the energy of the Space Cube to create high-powered weapons has been exposed?

Even the recently restarted "Super Soldier Project" and the newly launched "Talos Project" encountered an accident?
Or is there something wrong with the research on the "Infinite Formula"?
Nick Fury looked up and saw Harry and the others standing on high alert, with serious expressions on their faces and a murderous look on their faces.

He sighed, feeling helpless, and decided to test the waters first to see how much intelligence the other party had.
"Okay, so you all know it, but I embezzled those activity funds not for my own personal gain, but entirely for the good of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In today's world full of dangers, one more secret base means one more guarantee.

Only by establishing more secret bases can we have more backup plans to deal with emergencies, survive those horrific crises that are enough to destroy the world, and protect this fragile world.

I admit that my approach may not be appropriate, but my intention is definitely good. I think you can understand, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him with very strange eyes, and Tony even said:
"Well done, Nick Fury, no wonder even with me and the World Security Council supporting S.H.I.E.L.D., your operating funds are still stretched thin. It turns out you're the one embezzling money behind the scenes!
Tell me the truth, how many things are you hiding? I even suspect that you are a spy planted by Hydra in S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

When Nick Fury heard Tony's words, his face darkened and he immediately realized that things were completely different from what he had expected.

However, after that brief panic, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To some extent, being suspected of embezzling funds is the most ideal situation. After all, although this matter is tricky, it is not out of control.

As long as other more serious things are not exposed, especially the use of space cubes to create high-powered weapons, it will be enough.

He knew in his heart that Steve, Tony and others would never agree to such a dangerous behavior that could cause a huge disaster.

Once this secret is exposed, the Avengers, which have just been formed with great difficulty, will inevitably suffer a heavy blow and may even fall apart!

Nick Fury's expression froze, and he instantly put away all his emotions. He put on an extremely serious face, and said in a calm and firm tone:
"That's all, nothing else. SHIELD does have some secrets, but they are only accessible to Level 10 agents.

These secrets do not violate any laws, and for the sake of the overall security of SHIELD and the confidentiality of the mission, you must never know them!
Also, how could I be a Hydra agent? I am the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., responsible for maintaining world peace and fighting against evil forces.

If even I am a Hydra, then S.H.I.E.L.D. should just change its name to 'Hydra'!"

Harry has always respected other people's privacy and knows that everyone has secrets that they don't want to show others, so he will not pry into other people's thoughts at will.

However, facing Hydra, a major hidden danger that concerns the safety of the entire world, he will not stick to the rules.

Harry would not tell too many people that he could read other people's memories.

After all, no one wants to be around someone who can browse their memories at will, even if that person has always been restrained and would not easily use this ability.

The moment his eyes met Nick Fury's, Harry secretly cast a spell and took a very subtle peek into Fury's brain, trying to find some clues to confirm whether what Fury said was true.

So, when Nick Fury tried his best to defend himself and insisted that he was not a Hydra agent, Harry had already confirmed through spying that Fury was completely unaware of the fact that Alexander Pierce was a high-ranking Hydra official.

So Harry showed a strange look on his face and slowly said to Nick Fury:

"You're partly right. Today's S.H.I.E.L.D. has almost become 'Snake Shield' to some extent.

Hydra has already planted a large number of spies inside SHIELD, even the top brass are no exception!"

Nick Fury keenly caught the strange looks from Harry, Coulson, Natasha and others.

He has worked with Coulson and Natasha for many years and knows them very well. He knows that they are both well-trained agents who never show their emotions.

If something extremely serious had not happened, they would never have shown such a solemn expression.

His already dark face turned completely black as charcoal, and he said, "So, what exactly happened?!"

Natasha took a deep breath and said seriously:

"We have already destroyed the Hydra base in Sokovia. There, we dug out a lot of Hydra secrets from Baron Strucker.

It is now certain that SHIELD has been thoroughly infiltrated by Hydra, and a large number of their agents are lurking within it!"

"who is it?!"

Nick Fury's face was solemn, and he was thinking about it one by one, trying to guess who the Hydra agent lurking at the top was. Harry slightly sensed Nick Fury's body and reminded him:
"Your blood pressure has been a little high lately, and your heart isn't feeling well either. I suggest you prepare yourself in advance. This name will definitely surprise you!"

"Tell me, I'm not that fragile yet."

"He is—Alexander Pierce!"

Even though Nick Fury was prepared, he was still in disbelief when he heard the name. He suddenly stood up from his seat and denied it:
"No, this is impossible. How could Pierce be a Hydra member?"

But when he looked forward, he saw Harry, Coulson, Natasha and others, all looking at him with serious expressions.

Those serious faces, like the cold reality, ruthlessly shattered the last shred of hope in his heart.

Only then did he have to believe that the elder whom he had respected for many years was actually a member of Hydra!
Harry continued, "Piers identity is far more than just an ordinary Hydra agent, he is now the supreme leader of Hydra.

Furthermore, he is secretly plotting Project Insight, attempting to use three helicarriers, combined with the Zora Algorithm, to proactively identify and eliminate all individuals and organizations that could pose a threat to Hydra's rule."

The veins on Nick Fury's forehead bulged out, and the veins were like angry earthworms, swelling and wriggling under his skin, as if they would burst at any time. This was enough to show his inner anger and shock at the moment.

After a long silence, Nick Fury slowly leaned over and took out a black and white photo from the drawer under the table. The photo showed Pierce in his middle age.

Nick Fury stared at the photo, examining it carefully for a long time before saying in a deep voice:
“This is the man who turned down the Nobel Peace Prize, saying peace is not an achievement, it’s a responsibility!
I used to think that I knew Pierce well enough, but now it seems... However, one thing is certain, he has always been cautious, especially when he is old, and he will not easily put himself in danger.

No wonder he left before you left and went on vacation abroad. He must have anticipated that he might be exposed, so he ran away and hid."

Tony's face showed a hint of sarcasm, and he said with his usual venomous tongue:

"Look, now even the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a Hydra man.

What Harry said before is indeed true. Instead of calling S.H.I.E.L.D. this name, you might as well just change it to 'Snake Shield'. At least this is more in line with the actual situation and saves everyone from being kept in the dark."

Thor, a burly man with a full beard, couldn't help but join in the complaints.

He scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look:

"Are Midgard's security forces so unreliable? They allowed the enemy to infiltrate the upper levels so easily without even noticing.

In my opinion, if that guy named Pierce hadn't been afraid of Harry's strength, you would have already become criminals wanted by the government! "

Although Thor usually gives people a simple and honest impression, don't forget that he is the crown prince of Asgard.

He has experienced the baptism of thousands of years in his life. He has seen through the power struggles and deceptions, and can naturally point out the problems directly.

As soon as these words were spoken, several SHIELD agents present looked at each other in confusion, speechless. They could only stand there awkwardly with wry smiles on their faces.

Just as everyone was talking, the office door creaked open.

A graceful figure walked in. Hill was holding a document in her hand. She walked straight to Nick Fury, placed the document on the table in front of him, and then reported:

"Director Fury, we've determined that dozens of agents have vanished along with Pierce. Their travel records have been completely erased, making it difficult for us to track them down anytime soon."

Nick Fury nodded and said in a deep voice:

"This is indeed Pierce's usual style. He should have transferred most of the Hydra agents in S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, no matter what, SHIELD must conduct a thorough investigation, leaving no corner untouched!"

"Do you need help?" Harry asked when he saw this.

Nick Fury shook his head slightly and declined Harry's kindness.

He didn't want outsiders to interfere too much in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal affairs, but he still found a more euphemistic excuse:

“Thank you, Harry, but don’t worry, trust our quality.

We have a complete and rigorous detection procedure. Even the most well-disguised and well-trained agents will not be able to evade the layers of screening.

This is an internal matter within S.H.I.E.L.D., and we are confident we can handle it."

He, Nick Fury, is extremely confident!
He knows S.H.I.E.L.D. inside and out and has absolute control over it!

No one can escape punishment under his gaze!
