In Washington, near the White House office, the mysterious man, Pierce, frowned, trying to deal with the trouble in front of him.
But he thought about it, and there is no good way to solve the current dilemma.
It's a great idea to use Merlin's hand to clean up the red skull's remaining power, but once Merlin's blade is aimed at his own person, it feels very uncomfortable.
Hydra is a secret organization. As Merlin said, hiding in the dark is their greatest advantage. Once exposed to sunlight, this huge and bloated organization can only become a living target.
The most important thing is that after Hydra's most powerful spellcaster, Madame Hydra, was also defeated by Merlin, Pierce could no longer fight against Merlin.
This head-to-head confrontation of high-end power is not the traditional advantage of Hydra.
And if nothing is done, Merlin and the keen Fury who have a lot of resources and are keen to continue to cooperate with each other to investigate, the other factions of the Hydra will definitely be involved in this revenge war. in.
The war continued to expand, which was not what Pierce wanted to see.
After all, the other branches are not as stubborn as the residual power of the Red Skull. They and Pierce's factions have always cooperated well with each other.
In the final analysis, there is not so much idealism in the world of adults, especially these old men. Everyone joins the same organization, more for the benefit, power, wealth, status, etc.
As for the "new order" that Lord Pierce always talks about, it will also be a new order that meets the needs of most Hydra members.
Once those people find themselves likely to be targeted by a dangerous assassin walking in the shadows, it is hard to say whether they can continue to be proud of their Hydra status.
This huge interest group formed by the mysterious man is also likely to fall apart.
He stood up anxiously and walked around the office. He tried to find a good way, until after a few minutes, Pierce's eyes fell on a document on the coffee table.
That's the progress report that Fury just submitted about the Avengers project.
That was a plan that Fury had been vigorously advocating after the Cree invasion. In Pierce's view, this plan was slightly whimsical.
Not to mention the superheroes who are called up, can they fulfill the expectations that Fury expects from them, let's talk about the complex issue of human nature.
Becoming an avenger means shouldering a terrible and heavy mission. It means taking the lead in rushing into the battlefield when danger comes.
Heroes are also humans, they will also fear, they will also be burnout, not to mention, strong individual power will often pursue the freedom and status matched with strength, which is difficult for Fury to provide to those heroes.
For the reasons stated above, Pierce has always been less interested in promoting this plan.
But now, Pierce suddenly felt that perhaps, having a superhero team directly managed by the World Security Council was not a bad thing.
He narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, sat on the sofa, and picked up the report.
After turning a few pages, a vague idea appeared in his mind.
"As long as an introduction, a piece of evidence, there will be a lot of "heroes" jumping out to help me solve this problem... provided that they have to be able to play enough and have weaknesses that can be controlled..."
There was a flash of light in Pierce's eyes. He rubbed his chin and said softly:
"Um...maybe this is possible."
A moment later, a call was made to Fury.
"Ferry, prepare a speech on the "Avenger Project" as quickly as possible."
Pierce said to his subordinates who had fought their lives on the battlefield with Vietnam:
"I will convene an internal meeting of the World Security Council in the last few days, and I will allow you sufficient time for you to explain the idea and structure of the Avengers to the council members."
"Huh? Pierce, don't you always feel that this plan is flawed?"
Fury on the other side of the phone asked in doubt:
"Why did you suddenly support it?"
"Ah, this moment, the moment."
Pierce replied with a smile:
"I looked at the report of the half-magic event a few days ago. Our Merlin kid and the superhumans in his department performed very well. They ended the trouble in the fastest time. This made me see the plan of the Avengers. feasibility."
"In the face of crisis, we must have enough choices, and the Avengers plan may be able to become the bottom card of our Jedi comeback. So I plan to give this plan a chance. But Furry, you need to understand that the patience of other directors is not like me. That's enough. So once this plan is approved, you should let them see the benefits in the shortest time."
"I mean, we found some'good things' that attracted their attention."
Pierce flicked his finger. He calmly said:
"How is the progress of the search near Greenland? Haven't found our captain yet?"
"Progress is slow, Pierce."
Fury said helplessly:
"The environment is harsh and sparsely populated. Large-scale searches there are costly. I can't mobilize more resources to find someone who has been missing for decades."
"That won't work, Fury. Since we decided to do one thing, we will try our best to do our best! I will solve the problem of funding, you don't have to worry about it."
Pierce said quietly:
"Just send reliable personnel to go there, we must bring back our captain in the shortest time! He was a flag in the hearts of the people during World War II, and now we also need him to become a flag again!"
"One side represents...the banner of justice!"
"I see, Pierce, I will speed up the process."
Hanging up Fury's phone, Pierce's inner worry eased a little.
"But the Avengers plan is not enough, this plan takes time after all."
Pierce leaned on the sofa, rubbing his forehead, thinking about the resources currently available. A moment later, a new idea appeared in front of him. He hurried to the desk, reached for the drawer, and took out a quaint notebook.
That was the handwriting left by his father, which recorded many secrets of Hydra.
Pierce flipped through a few pages, trying to find a new enemy for Merlin and Fury, one related to the Hydra, without affecting his basic power.
"There are several qualified."
Pierce looked at the notes in the notebook. He sat in a chair, thought for a moment, then nodded:
"We have to go into deeper darkness, which takes time... Melin's warrior driven by revenge also needs a new target, an enemy strong enough to allow him to fight for a long time."
"It's a bit difficult to decide, this kind of black water splashing behavior can't be discovered by them."
"And how do I turn Merlin's attention to those guys? It's a good plan."
"Wait for the opportunity...it will always come."
—
"Hi, Merlin!"
Along with a cheerful call, wearing a denim suit, and wearing a decent cowboy hat, little Daisy rushed towards Merlin, and between the cheers, she was held in the arms by Merlin and turned in place. In a circle, it was placed on the ground again.
There are children all around, and they have been dressed up and they look like they are having a holiday.
"How about your parents?"
Merlin crouched beside Little Daisy and reached out to tickle her nose. He said to the child:
"Are they here today?"
"Ok."
Daisy nodded and pointed to the adults who were communicating with Father Paul. She said:
"Dad was chatting with the priest there, and mother was resting in the church. She didn't like the crowded place. I just saw Brother Eric and Sister Charlie. They both hid in the church and kissed."
Some precocious children covered their eyes, she said with a laugh:
"They are not ashamed, haha."
"Uh, just leave them alone, they are bad children."
Merlin reached out and patted Daisy's head. He stood up and introduced to Daisy the child behind him with a big hat and covering his face:
"Daisy, this is my sister, Ruiwen."
"Hello, Ruiwen."
Daisy politely waved to the icy Ruiwen, but Ruiwen seemed to not hear it, she kept her original posture and stood alone in the corner.
"Ruiwen!"
Merlin aggravated her tone, and then Rui Wen raised her head impatiently, glared at Merlin, and then looked at Daisy, she said to her girl of similar age in a plain and unemotional voice:
"Hello, my name is Ruiwen."
"Wow, you are so pretty."
Seeing Ruiwen's eyes and her face, Daisy suddenly widened her eyes. She walked to Ruiwen's side and held out Ruiwen's hand. She said:
"Why are your hands so cold? Is she sick? Merlin."
Daisy looked back at Merlin, who shrugged and said:
"Well, Ruiwen has really been unwell recently, but I hope she can find a good friend, just like a child like you."
"Uh huh."
Daisy nodded vigorously, she said to Merlin:
"I will become a good friend with Ruiwen."
"Then I can rest assured."
Merlin bent over and patted Daisy's head. He looked at his watch and said to Daisy:
"Your sister Elsa is going to pick Matt, and little Eva will come with her uncle Bill for a while, I'm going to pick up my little nephew Peter now, so I will give Ruiwen to you, you want Take care of her for me, will you? Daisy."
"Go ahead."
Daisy waved to Merlin. She grabbed her little cowboy hat and said to Merlin:
"I will take care of her, this is a promise."
Merlin nodded. He walked to the exit of the fundraising event and greeted someone he knew. He also lived in Hell's Kitchen for many years, and he knew the people around him.
After watching Merlin leave, Daisy turned her head to look at Ruiwen, and all the smiles on her face disappeared. The little girl crossed her arms and said angrily opposite Ruiwen:
"Don't you like Merlin?"
Ruiwen glanced at Daisy, and she asked with interest:
"Why are you calling his brother? Judging from the age of you two, you should call his uncle even more."
"Leave me alone!"
Daisy snorted, and the image of the good girl completely disappeared at this moment. She said fiercely to Ruiwen:
"You have to treat Merlin a little bit, he is a great man, and you are not allowed to be so rude to him!"
"Leave me alone!"
Ruiwen replied with the same reply as Daisy, which caused Daisy to be dissatisfied.
The child lived alone in Hell's Kitchen for a few months. It wasn't the kind of girl with no power at all, and her act of expressing anger was very direct.
She pushed Ruiwen to the ground, and Ruiwen subconsciously used magic to fight back, but the problem is that her current black and white magic has been sealed. Although she grew up in Aizaras, her physical fitness is better than that of ordinary children. Stronger, but Daisy is also a natural alien. Although she hasn’t been transformed yet, her physical fitness is not weak.
The two girls were screaming and tearing together, and no one was around to stop it, it was only a joke between the children.
Ten minutes later, when Merlin took Peter, who was nearly four years old, and took her sister and brother-in-law back to the fundraising site, they saw two girls with disheveled clothes, loose hair, and scratches on their faces.
Eric, who had a headache, was holding Daisy like a baby monkey, and Charlie grabbed the arm of angry Ruiwen, preventing the two children from contacting, but the two of them still glared at each other with their eyes. It's like rolling in the grass.
Ava in a black skirt sat in a chair with Matt in sunglasses. Ava said excitedly to the quiet Matt as the two children fought, but she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
"Oh, Peter is still good."
Merlin hugged his little nephew, and he turned back to Mei who was behind:
"I really intend to send Ruiwen to you for a while. Sister, this child has a strange temper, maybe you can change her a little."
"I don't have time, brother."
Mei said to Merlin with regret:
"I have been helping the Community Welfare Society recently, and I plan to officially join there to provide assistance to those who need help. In this case, it is already very difficult to take care of Peter alone."
"Yeah, Merlin."
Ben also reached out and patted Merlin's shoulder. He said:
"Ruiwen is your sister. I believe you can get along in the end. Your temper is so good. You see, the children in this orphanage like you very much, and Ruiwen will definitely accept you."
"She is different from other children."
Merlin looked at Rui Wen, who had gradually calmed down under the comfort of Charlie. He said:
"Ruiwen has experienced some terrible things. She has been closing herself. I really don't know if I can do it."
"You can, brother."
Mei reached out and patted her brother's arm. She smiled and said:
"You can do it. There is a special power in you, Merlin, it makes you a better person."
"I have seen it, and I believe that Ruiwen will see it eventually."
