Chapter 99: Hydra exposed, Hela’s scheme (Part-1)

With Hela taking control of the Aether particles, the end of Malekith was sealed.

And after the death of Malekith, the war came to an end.

For Asgard, this was a big victory.

Hela obtained Aether particles, which was actually the Reality Stone. Now she had three Infinity Stones in her hand.

Over time, Hela even had the opportunity to gather Six Infinity Stones and become the female version of Thanos.

Even if this was not the case, the difficulty for Thanos to collect Six Infinity Stones in the future was also raised to the nightmare level.

Thanos could hardly handle just one Hela, let alone Ye Bai.

Hela’s stuff was also Ye Bai’s stuff. Would Ye Bai really give Thanos a chance to steal his Infinite Stones?

It was absolutely impossible.

In addition, one of Asgard’s old enemies, the dark elves.

After this war, they were completely extinct. From now on, there would be no dark elves in the universe again.

Malekith paid a heavy price for his foolishness.

In fact, Malekith’s war against Asgard was by itself a very foolish act.

Even in the original plot of “Thor 2”, the strength of both sides was not equal.

The only reason why Malekith could bring great damage to Asgard in Thor 2 was because he was lucky in the final analysis.

First was the cursed warrior. The cursed warrior was holding Frigga hostage which caused Odin and Thor Asgard’s two strongest warriors to be restrained.

Secondly, Odin was unable to control the Aether particles and was taken advantage of by Malekith.

When Ye Bai killed the cursed warrior and Hela took control of the Aether particles, Malekith was doomed to fail.

He had no chance of turning the tables. He had not even the slightest chance at all.

Instead, his stupidity sent the dark elves to a dead end, and at the same time brought Asgard a hearty victory.

With two victorious wars in a row, Hela’s throne became more and more secure, and the people of Asgard would never oppose a queen who could bring them victory.

Some people were happy, and some were worried.

While Asgard celebrated the victory of the war, Nick Fury was in deep trouble.

He had already noticed that there was a problem within S.H.I.E.L.D.

In fact, there were already signs, but Nick Fury himself had ignored them.

However, after the Battle of the New York City, Nick Fury suddenly discovered that there was a force inside S.H.I.E.L.D. that was beyond his control.

So Nick Fury started a secret investigation.

Then, Nick Fury was horrified to discover a fact.

There was Hydra inside S.H.I.E.L.D.

M*****r, Nick Fury cursed madly.

He originally thought that Hydra had infiltrated into S.H.I.E.L.D. Only after an investigation did he find that he was the one who had infiltrated the Hydra’s S.H.I.E.L.D.

According to Nick Fury’s preliminary estimate, at least a quarter of the personnel within the S.H.I.E.L.D. might be members of Hydra.

This number was so scary that Nick Fury even turned pale.

He suspected that someone was going to kill him, which was very likely to happen soon.

What was even more difficult for Nick Fury to accept was that within S.H.I.E.L.D., the leader of Hydra was likely to be his old friend, Alexander Pierce.

Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce had a very good relationship, and they were almost lifelong friends.

Nick Fury also had great trust in Pierce. Except for the confidentiality principle, he had never kept anything secret from Pierce.

But such a life and death friend of his was actually the leader of hydra.

This reality was very difficult for Nick Fury to accept.

Even Pierce was Hydra, Nick Fury did not even know who he should trust anymore.

Just as Nick Fury was distressed, a knock on his room door interrupted Nick Fury’s thoughts.

Nick Fury also quickly sorted out his suit to prevent his anxious appearance from being seen by outsiders.

Then he said: “Come in.”

Soon, the door was opened, and Pierce came in full of energy.

“Nick Fury, I noticed that you are investigating S.H.I.E.L.D. in secret recently. Did you find anything?”

As soon as Pierce said the first sentence, Nick Fury almost jumped up.

Damn it, it’s all discovered. Hadn’t he been secret enough?

Hydra’s infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. had actually reached this point.

Nick Fury roared inwardly, he felt that the matter was getting more and more serious.

But on the surface, he still had to act as if nothing had happened.

“Pierce, who told you about this?”

Nick Fury asked Pierce as if it had never happened.

“Don’t pretend, you can’t hide your actions from me.”

Pierce smiled contemptuously. He knew Nick Fury’s tricks very well.

After decades of working with Nick Fury, even if he was the leader of Hydra, Pierce had to admit that Nick Fury was a powerful character.

The title of the King of Agents was not boasted by Nick Fury, but recognized by many people.

“Even if there really is this thing, it doesn’t concern you. It’s not something you should be in charge of.”

Nick Fury raised his eyebrows and said to Pierce with a very tough attitude.

He was basically sure of Pierce’s identity now; he was undoubtedly a hydra.

In other words, his once closest comrade-in-arms was now an enemy.

So Nick Fury’s attitude was also very impolite, and even a bit rude.

“Well, it seems you already know, so I won’t hide it.”

“You are right, I am indeed a Hydra.”

Pierce confessed directly and caught Nick Fury by surprise.

Moreover, shouldn’t he refuse to admit this kind of thing, and then look for opportunities to kill me to seize power?

Is it really good to admit it so generously?

Or, is there a conspiracy?

Nick Fury was very alert because he couldn’t figure out why Pierce confessed.

You should know that him doing such a thing was equivalent to giving up resistance and putting his neck down for Nick Fury’s knife to cut.

“Do you know what you are talking about? Are you serious?”

Nick Fury pretended to be shocked, but in fact he had secretly pressed a button. Within three minutes, Coulson should break in with someone.

Pierce nodded. He was no longer worried that Hydra would be suppressed by Nick Fury when it was exposed.

“Don’t pretend, I know you know exactly who I am, you have investigated me clearly these days.”

“Don’t be nervous. I mean no harm to you and I won’t kill you here.”

Pierce said with a smile, but his smile made Nick Fury’s scalp numb.

There was definitely something wrong, and the problem was very serious.

Pierce’s confident look made Nick Fury wonder what he was going to do.

For this guy, it was absolutely impossible for him to confess his identity if he was not sure. So what exactly was this guy’s trump card?
