American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

Overnight, several of the world's most powerful figures, those who could decide the life and death of many people, died!

Their shared social class naturally fostered a sense of shared sorrow over the potential for a similar fate.

to be honest.

Xu Fu's existence could truly threaten their lives.

They are already in high positions and enjoying the world, how could they possibly allow such a thing to happen?

Among these people.

The most vehement reaction came from none other than the Hydra members.

If we're talking about which organization on Earth targets mutants the most, then Hydra is undoubtedly the one.

They were originally a faction that split off from NC.

Their targeting of mutants is purely for human experimentation, to study their abilities.

The number of mutants who died at their hands was countless.

Now that such an anomaly has emerged among the mutants, they are naturally panicked.

Xu Fu naturally did not stand up for the mutants, nor did he intend to settle scores later.

But the Hydra members didn't know that!

In their view, Xu Fu had purged these people, but who knows when he might purge them again!

This is absolutely unacceptable to the Hydra.

The heads of Hydra even gathered together and held a large meeting.

The discussion revolved around how to deal with Xu Fu.

Given Xu Fu's formidable strength, they ultimately decided on a strategy of maintaining a friendly facade while secretly developing a force capable of countering Xu Fu.

If Xu Fu really intends to take action against them, they must ensure they have the ability to resist.

Each of the Hydra's heads has their own hidden agenda.

The one who contributed the most was none other than Alexander Pierce, one of the heads of Hydra.

Security Minister of the World Security Council.

Why is 11, a member of Hydra, one of the world's top executives?

This is naturally because Hydra is a very powerful and ancient organization in the Marvel universe.

Its history can be traced back to ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, when they already had a corresponding organizational structure.

During World War II, there was a Hydra within Germany, which is similar to the Hydra we know today – both are infiltrating.

In other words, Germany was also a victim of the Hydra conspiracy.

It was not that the mad leader of Germany built the Hydra back then.

Red Skull is just one of Hydra's heads.

Among Hydra are many families with lineages spanning thousands of years, so Alexander Pierce's background is very clean.

Naturally, he could come into the public eye and become a high-ranking official on the World Security Council.

At the same time, he was also Nick Fury's boss and his recommender.

It's fair to say that Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was entirely put in that position by Alexander Pierce.

Therefore, he and Nick Fury had a very good relationship; the two had a bond forged in the crucible of war.

Having this identity and status.

Alexander Pierce's resources and power were naturally astonishing, and the other Hydra leaders placed high hopes on him.

After the internal Hydra meeting concluded, he approached Nick Fury.

Alexander Pierce was a smart man.

He knew Nick Fury was suspicious by nature, so he didn't reveal his meaning right away.

“Frey, we need to talk.”

“Pierce, please have a seat.”

When Nick Fury saw Pierce enter, he immediately offered him a seat and poured him sherry.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is not entirely unregulated; Pierce is, in effect, his superior.

Regardless, Nick Fury must remain respectful.

"Is there a problem?"

“You’re such a busy person, you would never come to me unless it’s something important.”

Nick Fury looked at Pierce with his one eye.

Although Nick Fury instinctively sensed that something was amiss with S.H.I.E.L.D., he didn't suspect Pierce.

In his eyes, Pierce remains his most reliable comrade-in-arms.

When Pierce came in, he seemed quite open and honest with him.

Alexander Pierce sighed before speaking.

Have you heard about what's been happening lately?

Nick Fury raised an eyebrow and spoke.

Are you referring to those people?

"I think those people deserved it, it has nothing to do with us."

“Frey, of course I’m on your side, and that’s what I think too.”

Pierce first defined the nature of the statement before speaking again.

"However, while we may think this way, others may not."

“The members of the Security Council, in particular, are very concerned.”

"They are worried that these mutants will get out of control."

"The power of mutants is too great. If they really get out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Nick Fury remained silent, but in his heart he quite agreed with this idea.

Nick Fury has a twisted desire for control and likes to have everything under his thumb.

He even created various means of control over his Avengers, as evidenced by the transparent prison specifically prepared for Dr. Banner on the Helicarrier.

He distrusts no one and likes to be in control of everything.

It wasn't until S.H.I.E.L.D. collapsed and he went into the shadows that this morbid desire for control subsided slightly.

This is precisely when his desire is at its peak.

"They like to doubt everything and like to control everything."

Nick Fury is such a hypocrite; he does the same things himself, yet he looks down on the members of the World Security Council.

"I think mutants are very safe."

"We just need to maintain normalcy, and they will be safe."

Nick Fury said this very calmly.

But Pierce, who knew him well, knew that Nick Fury was already invested; he just needed to add fuel to the fire.

"Frey, I understand everything you're saying."

"But we must ultimately consider the opinions of the Security Council and the opinions of ordinary people."

"They are too easily out of control."

"In the past year alone, they caused tens of thousands of casualties, which is a terrible number."

“S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for the safety of ordinary people; we cannot only consider the rights of a minority.”

Alexander Pierce spoke earnestly and persuasively.

If you didn't know his true identity, you could easily be fooled by him.

Nick Fury fell into deep thought.

Alexander Pierce spoke again.

"Of course, I'm not saying we should do anything to mutants."

"But we should always prepare for the worst, shouldn't we?"

"We need to be able to ensure that if something goes wrong with the mutants, we have the means to check and balance them."

“Frey, you know this world is cruel.”

"If we want to be good people, we must possess a power that is stronger than that of bad people."

Alexander Pierce began to speak.

Nick Fury's eyes gleamed.
