"Natasha Romanov!"

On this day, Black Widow had just gotten off work from S.H.E.L.D., and was far away, she saw a man wearing a jacket and sneakily guarding her doorstep.

"Who are you..."

The black widow looked closely and the more she looked at the man, the more familiar she looked. After a while, she dared to identify him and said, "You are Ilia, why are you here?"

Ilia, also a famous agent of the Red House back then, was active in Eastern Europe at the end of the Cold War. During the internal training period, Ilia pursued her, but Natasha did not agree.

After 1991 years, with the end of the Cold War, Ilya also disappeared.

Some people say that after the disintegration, the political situation of the Soviet Union was corrupt, and some senior officials of the Intelligence Bureau turned against each other and betrayed Ilya, causing him to be killed secretly.

Back then, a chase meeting was held for Ilia, which caused everyone to be in danger. Black Widow was also disheartened by Red House since then and was soon instigated by Hawkeye to join S.H.E.L.D.

"It's me, Natasha, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

Ilia looks in her forties and looks very down and out, no different from the homeless people on the street.

Black Widow is not a very nostalgic person. Besides, her relationship with Ilia back then was just average. I couldn't guess how Ilia, who should have died, suddenly appeared in front of her. It was just that she was alert to the agent, which made her instinctively guarded.

"Ilia, who are you working for now?"

Black Widow frowned slightly. Although Ilia's intelligence work is not as good as hers, she is also a senior agent. Why is she so in such a down-and-out situation now?

Ilia sighed and replied: "I have no job and am currently living in Panama. There is nothing I can do about it. I am a dead person long ago. How dare I be active in the market? You know, I made a lot of noise in Eastern Europe back then, and many people want me to die."

"Yes, everyone said you were dead back then, how did you survive?" Black Widow Natasha hesitated: "You dare to come to me?"

"This matter is a long story."

Ilia organized some language? Then she said: "I was betrayed by the senior management back then? I was in a state of dying. Fortunately, I was generous in my daily life. I like to make more friends."

"One of the agents who arrested me? One of them was my friend, who couldn't bear to hand me over? So he joined forces with me to act in a scene. Since then, I have been hiding my identity? The outside world thinks I am dead."

"As for coming to see you this time..."

Ilia paused slightly: "I was going to hide it for the rest of my life? But I got married in Panama. I now have children and family."

"I left in a hurry when I was absconding and didn't bring much money at all? Some time ago, my youngest son was diagnosed with congenital leukemia and needed to spend a lot of money to exchange for bone marrow. I couldn't afford the money at all, so I thought of you."

Natasha frowned and thought Elijah was crazy about money.

They haven't seen each other for years? Ilia wanted to ask her for help, but she didn't have the obligation.

"I'm not trying to ask you for help? But I have a top-secret document to sell to you."

Ilia was also an agent, and soon noticed Natasha's emotions. She said bluntly: "I heard that you quit the Red House and joined an organization called SHIELD? It just so happened that my information was about SHIELD? I had to get it after a lot of hardships. I even suspected that the reason why the next thing happened was because I got this document."

After Elia finished speaking, she opened her clothes and took out a kraft paper bag from it.

Natasha was speechless. Ilia has been missing for more than ten years. What is the use of S.H.E.L.D. information from more than ten years ago for the current S.H.E.L.D.

Just out of curiosity, Natasha did not refuse and reached out to her, "Show me."

"No, this document can be sold at a high price." Ilia shrank back: "I can give you the document, but I want two million dollars. Believe me, this information is absolutely worth the money, about your former director of SHIELD."

"Pearce?" Natasha raised her eyebrows.

"right."

Ilia affirmed: "Alexander Pierce, former director of SHIELD."

That night.

SHIELD Headquarters.

"Have you found out?"

"I found out that in the summer of 1991, Director Pierce stayed in Eastern Europe for a while and attended local gatherings, which was exactly what Ilia said."

One-eyed dragon Nick Fury, sitting on the throne of the director.

Natasha stood not far away, and on the table between the two sides, there was a stack of old photos.

In the photo, Pierce is attending a party. This party is not simple. Everyone is wearing a ring on their hands.

Zoom in the photo by a hundred times, and you can blur the skull mark on everyone's ring, which is the logo of Hydra.

"Hydra, I thought this organization would be destroyed after World War II."

Nick Fury's eyes flashed, looking at Pierce, who was like stars in the photo, whispered to Natasha: "Cha, remember to be careful, don't act rashly."

In fact, during the years he served as the director of SHIELD, Nick Fury had secretly noticed that there was still some force within SHIELD.

But he had no direct evidence, and there was only suspicion. This photo of Pierce attending the Hydra party made him more certain from the suspicion. There was indeed a problem within S.H.I.E.D.

A few days later.

World Security Council Headquarters, Pierce Office.

"It's been a long time since I called you to come to my office to sit down. How about it? Has things going well in SHIELD recently?"

Both sides sat down, Pierce waved his hand and signaled the secretary to go out first.

Wang Tian sat aside, picked up the red wine on the table and poured some for Pierce, and said with a smile: "It's not bad. We are currently working with the anti-terrorism department in the United States to prepare to arrest the No. 4 leader of Al Qaeda."

S.E.L.D. is not a purely American organization, although its headquarters is in New York.

To be more precise, S.H.I.E.L.D. is a world-wide organization. Just like the World Health Organization, countries need to pay membership fees to keep the organization running.

In disguise, SHIELD will also assist all forces in carrying out some tasks of combating terrorists, rescuing hostages, and surveillance of special groups.

Generally speaking, SHIELD needs to obey the unanimous orders of the World Security Council, and the five representatives in the Security Council are the five permanent members of the United Nations.

In this way, if you vote, I object, I vote, you object, and you cannot easily reach an agreement. Most of the time, S.H.E.L.D. operates itself and has its own code of conduct. After all, when S.H.E.L.D. was established, it was in order to prevent World War III and aliens.

"You are doing well over there, but I am miserable."

Pierce's eyes were scrutinized: "I have been targeted by someone these days. Our One-Eyed Dragon Director is particularly concerned about my whereabouts and is also very concerned about my body. Even my files in the medical insurance system have been reviewed by your intelligence department supervisor."

"When did this happen, and why did this happen?" Wang Tian frowned and said, "Our whereabouts have always been very secretive and should not be noticed."

Pierce looked for a while and found that Wang Tian’s eyes were very frank, so he nodded and said, “I think so too. Perhaps our actions have been too big recently. During this period, we have replaced a large number of lower-level commanders with ours, which may have aroused the alertness of some people.”

Wang Tian asked, "Do you need me to do anything?"

"Control your Operations Department and notify me immediately if there is any disturbance."

"No matter what they want to do, it is impossible to completely circumvent you. There will always be clues. I want you to find out as soon as possible. What are the people in the intelligence department investigating and why are they eyeing me."

"In addition, I heard that you transferred Grant away. I have seen him. He is a very thoughtful young man. We always have to give more opportunities to the new generation."

Pierce never mentioned Grant's identity, nor did he have the intention to show off with Wang Tian.

Wang Tian also pretended not to know and replied: "It's just an ordinary person who calls me. I'm still optimistic about Grant. It would be better if I add more training."

"That's it!" Pierce stopped talking and changed the topic: "How much trouble do you have to do with S.H.E.L.D. When our plan is successful, you will be the deputy director of S.H.E.L.D.."

“I should do what I should do for you.”
