Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

Experiencing the magic firsthand, his breathing quickened, and he raised his hands.

"Alright, alright, Miss Wizard, I overreacted. But you should understand, as a professional agent, I..."

"Alright, stop acting. I know you sent people to arrest me," Hermione said impatiently. "Since you want to fight, I'll grant your wish. Prepare to die!"

As she spoke, she raised her wand, the tip of which glowed with an eerie emerald light.

"Wait, Miss Wizard!"

When Pierce saw Hermione about to attack at the slightest provocation, he finally panicked.

Are kids these days so impatient?

I was originally planning to say some random information to try and get away with it, but now it seems that the other party is completely convinced that he orchestrated this whole thing.

How exactly was it leaked?

Pierce was very puzzled.

"Don't act yet. I admit it was me, but I did it for the sake of ordinary people and the magical world!"

With his mind racing, Pierce started making things up.

Pfft... Hermione almost burst out laughing.

What kind of ridiculous reason is that?!

However, she didn't expose him. Instead, she tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Pierce breathed a slight sigh of relief before continuing, "Nick Fury is using you, Miss Wizard. He just wants to extract as much information as possible about the wizarding world, but he never considered that your wizarding world has been hiding for so long, and other wizards certainly don't want their existence exposed."

"If you reveal too many things you shouldn't say, it will definitely cause conflict between wizards and S.H.I.E.L.D., and may even trigger a war between ordinary people and wizards. You will definitely be punished by the people of the wizarding world."

"You were captured to lure other wizards. Explain this clearly to avoid the worst-case scenario!"

Pierce finished speaking in one breath, subtly observing Hermione's reaction.

He deliberately exaggerated the consequences to make Hermione sound so serious, thinking that since she was just a child, she would be afraid of being scolded by the adults, thus downplaying the fact that he had caught her.

That sounds convincing... Hermione thought to herself, but on the surface she still pretended to be thinking hard.

There is a door!

Pierce's eyes lit up.

"Alright, you pass this time!"

Hermione pretended to fall for it, saying, "I'll never tell you anything again!"

puff!

Pierce felt like he had shot himself in the foot after hearing this.

He was just spouting nonsense to save his life. Now that he's saved his life, all the intelligence is gone. It seems like S.H.I.E.L.D. is the one who lost out, but in reality, it was all Hydra's intelligence!

Unexpectedly, he, the highest leader of Hydra, was rendered helpless by a little girl's few words.

"Miss Wizard, how did you know that this matter is related to me?" Pierce could only change the subject first and ask the question that concerned him the most.

"That's what your people said!"

Pierce frowned slightly, thinking to himself that it was impossible. These were all brainwashed, loyal members of Hydra, and they would never leak mission information even if they died.

Hermione pursed her lips.

"I'm a wizard, you sent people here without even knowing what I could do?"

Seeing Pierce's puzzled expression, Hermione decided to explain it to him.

"The soul is out of body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pierce suddenly felt his mind go blank, and an overwhelming feeling of happiness slowly rose within him.

"Come on, give me a tap dance!"

“Yes,” Pierce replied mechanically, his eyes vacant.

Then he really put his heart into dancing, and even when he was covered in sweat, he didn't stop, still dancing without seeming to feel any pain.

With a flick of her wand, Pierce regained consciousness and looked at Hermione in horror.

His chest heaved up and down, and he was breathing heavily, whether from dancing or from being frightened, it was hard to tell.

"what have you done!"

"The Imperius Curse, I think you already know its specific effects well." Hermione shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Pierce was greatly alarmed.

Just now, he seemed to have lost himself, with only one thought in his mind: to obey Hermione's orders and to complete whatever was required.

Mind control!

She even has this kind of ability?!

No wonder Hermione knew; someone in the assault team must have been controlled and confessed everything.

After the initial shock, Pierce looked at Hermione with fervent eyes.

If Hydra had this ability, they could easily control the world...

"By the way, that guy said he was some kind of Hydra. What is Hydra?" Hermione tilted her head and looked at Pierce. "Is it some kind of special department within S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Pierce's pupils contracted sharply, then returned to normal in the next second.

"I suppose so," he said, trying to keep his expression unchanged. "This is an internal secret of S.H.I.E.L.D., so please don't reveal it, Miss Wizard."

Fortunately, it seems they don't know much...

"Alright, alright, but you guys at S.H.I.E.L.D. have quite a few capable people, huh? Someone actually managed to escape from me." Hermione nodded. "There was this guy who could keep changing his form, he was so hard to catch!"

Ghosts… Pierce’s eyes flickered slightly.

It's surprising that even wizards are helpless against her abilities. It seems that she should be given special attention and trained like the Winter Soldier, as Hydra's trump card.

"However, since you dared to have someone ambush me, you must be taught a lesson!"

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

Pierce felt a chill beside his ear, looked down, and saw that his left ear had fallen to the ground, bleeding profusely.

"Let's see if you dare mess with me again!"

Hermione smiled smugly, then the air twisted and she vanished into thin air.

Chapter 58 The First Signs of Conflict

Pick up your ear! I'll make you pick up your ear!

On a distant high-rise building, watching Pierce bend down to pick up his fallen ear, Hermione suddenly had a voice message flash through her mind.

Memories of her past life suddenly began to assault her.

Hermione has to do something tonight after being attacked, otherwise it won't be enough to deter them and will only embolden them to send even more people.

After this incident, Hydra will likely have to behave itself and dare not cause her any more trouble until it finds a way to subdue the wizard.

Even though she still has a use for Hydra now and doesn't intend to do anything to them for the time being, they've already stepped on her head, so it wouldn't be right not to retaliate.

That's why I'm making this visit tonight.

Being able to wipe out all the people they send out is not scary; what's truly frightening is being able to pinpoint their leader.

In any organization, leaders are more valuable than ordinary soldiers, and they are also more afraid of death than ordinary soldiers.

……

The next day.

At the Tri-Wing Building, Nick Fury met Pierce.

Although the two work in the same building, they are not on the same floor.

Fury was busy with other matters and rarely visited him.

"What brings you here?" Pierce asked with a smile as he saw Fury arrive.

Noticing the bandage on his ear, Fury said bluntly, "I heard you got hurt a little last night, so I came to see you."

Pierce feigned nonchalance: "It's nothing. I slipped and fell at home last night and cut myself. It's all bandaged up now."

At this point, he turned around, his face slightly gloomy.

Yesterday, after Hermione cut off his ear, he did go to the hospital immediately to have it reattached.

However, no matter how hard the doctors tried, the wound kept bleeding, and no method could stop the bleeding.

Pierce also realized that it was Hermione's magic at work, preventing the wound from healing.

Finally, they had no choice but to painfully cut off another layer of flesh, cover the old wound with the new cut, and burn the cut with a laser to successfully stop the bleeding.

It means there's no way my ear can be reattached.

There was nothing he could do; from now on, he would have to endure the strange looks from those around him and remain a one-eared minister.

Fury remained noncommittal upon hearing this.
