Chapter 493

*Groan... *

Several beauties were fast asleep.

Felicia closed her beautiful eyes, breathing lightly.

Poor little Cindy frowned, sleeping very soundly.

Skye smacked her lips, her arm resting on Barbara's softness.

Gwen and Jessica were curled up together, their jade legs intertwined.

"Hu~"

Between their slightly parted teeth, they even blew a bubble... a small, white, translucent bubble, growing larger and smaller with their fragrant breaths, very cute~

Pierce's office.

"... After the Colombian National Liberation Army occupied the embassy, the guards helped me escape, but the rebels took hostages. Nick was S. H. I. E. L. D.'s person in charge in the area, and he proposed a plan to launch a surprise attack through the sewers..."

Pierce chatted with Rogers while getting the files.

He tried to gain the Captain's trust and lower his guard by talking about his relationship with Nick Fury.

"I said: No, we will negotiate. The result was that the rebels wouldn't negotiate with us and ordered them to be killed on sight.

They swept the basement, and what did they find—nothing.

Nick didn't follow my direct orders; on foreign soil, he ordered an unauthorized mission, rescuing a dozen government officials, including my daughter."

Hearing this.

Steve interjected: "So you promoted him?"

Pierce: "I never regretted that."

As he spoke.

He felt it was about time, and showed his true colors, asking the Captain.

"Captain, why was Nick at your house last night?"

Steve looked at him and shook his head lightly.

"I don't know..."

Pierce: "Did you know it was bugged?"

Steve: "I did, Nick told me."

"Did he tell you that he was the one who bugged it?"

"..."

Steve didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

"I'll show you something."

Seeing this, Pierce turned on the prepared player.

In the video, it was a sea pirate named Batroc that Steve had caught during a previous mission.

That mission happened to be when the Dark Elves descended, so the Captain didn't have time to rush to Greenwich.

"... They communicated by email, paid by wire transfer..."

Pierce explained it to Steve.

The general meaning was—

Batroc hijacking the ship was just a cover.

The real purpose was to trade S. H. I. E. L. D. confidential intelligence with Nick Fury.

The deal went wrong, and as a result, Fury lost his life...

"If you really knew Nick Fury, you'd know that's impossible."

Steve didn't believe Pierce's nonsense at all.

"..."

Seeing the Captain didn't believe him.

Pierce's eyes narrowed slightly, containing a hint of coldness...

·· ·Requesting flowers·· ······

"You know, I work for the Council, not because I want to, but because Fury asked me to."

He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the scenery outside.

"Because we are both very realistic, we know—

Aside from those diplomatic maneuvers and hypocrisy, to build a better new world, sometimes you need to destroy the old world.

And this inevitably creates enemies; they will call you shameless and dirty because you don't hesitate to do unspeakable things just to create something better.

... 0

Just thinking about those people living so comfortably now makes me very annoyed!"

After revealing a bit of his true emotions.

Pierce turned his head and looked at Steve.

"Captain, you were the last person Nick saw before he died, and I don't think that's a coincidence. I think you feel the same way, so I'll ask you one more time, why was he at your place?"

"..."

Steve was silent for a while longer, then picked up the shield on the sofa, strapped it on, and chose to leave.

"Excuse me."

*Beep—*

After finishing the communication with Silver Sable.

Rachel leaned against the end of the bed, her cat eyes a bit dull and unfocused...

"Hoo... hoo..."

She breathed slightly.

The situation in her pink little mouth was the same as Felicia and the others...
