Chapter 113: Minister Alexander Pierce

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It didn’t occur to John Garrett that Wesley Gibson was a chatterbox, and that he wouldn’t even put his hand on you, as if he was afraid you’d run away, and at the same time he was talking nonstop.

“Can I call you John? I think it’s more intimate. What missions have you been on? Isn’t it cool? Oh, I haven’t done any super cool missions until now. Any good suggestions?”

“Oh, you can only ask Phil about that. Of course, you can call me John. Ahem… Sorry, I just got off the plane and I’m a little tired. I need to rest first.” John Garrett was a little dizzy from Wesley and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

“Of course. Pay attention to rest. We can communicate more during the meeting. I’ll see you later.” Wesley didn’t continue because he knew a lot of things.

Phil Colson pulled Wesley to a deserted spot after John Garrett left. “Is John’s problem big? You took a long time this time.” Phil Colson’s face was clearly anxious.

“Are you close to him?” Wesley asked.

“Yes, we trained together and carried out missions together. He has risked his life many times. Is there really a problem?” Phil Coulson said with some excitement. His hands grabbed Wesley’s shoulders with a lot of strength, but it made Wesley feel pain.

“Phil, you need to calm down. We are agents. Although we are not cold-blooded in this industry, we can at least control our emotions. Am I right?” Wesley looked into Phil Coulson’s eyes and asked.

Phil Coulson realized that there was something wrong with his emotions and released his hands. Then he said, “I’m sorry, it’s not your fault. It’s his choice. Can you tell me now?”

“Yes, he does have a problem. He is very high up in S.H.I.E.L.D., he knows more than you do, and he has been using this to act in secret. He can say Hydra, or he can say no, because he is attached to Hydra to do his own thing.”

“What is it?”

“His health is not good. He needs to conduct some experiments to strengthen his body and extend his life. That’s what he wants. But I need to remind you that he’s not a good person, okay? Or he’s not a good person now. I don’t know him. What I’m telling you is just his mind. Some people change, Phil. Some people don’t stay the same.”

“Yes, you’re right. There are a lot of people like that, but … why John? Is it for life? Why didn’t he say it? SHIELD has a lot of ways.”

“What if he is not satisfied with life?”

“Is he very ambitious?”

“Yes, so you’d better not have any hope of saving him. The other party is not clear about our plan now. Once you talk to him, we will be in great danger.” Wesley warned Phil Coulson solemnly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t ruin the director’s plan. Did you get anything else from him? He should have a lot of personnel, right?”

“That’s right. He got a lot of lists here, but many of them are not internal SHIELD personnel. But there is a name that I think you and the director will be interested in.”

“Who is it?”

“Alexander Pierce!”

“Minister?” Phil Coulson almost exclaimed. He quickly controlled his emotions and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice, “Do you know who he is?”

Wesley said nonchalantly, “Of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. is regulated by the World Security Council, and Secretary Alexander Pierce is Nick Fury’s immediate superior.”

“Yes, he is a permanent member of the World Security Council stationed at SHIELD, and he is the former director of SHIELD. That’s right, Hydra wouldn’t have developed so well without such a high-level person.” Phil Coulson was already sweating.

“Well, tell this news to the director. Our opponent is not simple, so we need to be more careful. The personnel identification is basically done, but it is difficult for me to have long physical contact with this minister. I can’t hold his hand and not let go.”

“I know. Let’s see how it goes. I’ll see if I can let him announce your promotion. I’m leaving. Go back and rest. I’m going to promote you tomorrow. You deserve it.”

Alexander Pierce was meeting John Garrett at this time. “John, I heard that your people are getting a little out there. You need to be careful not to let Nick get anything on you.”

John Garrett was unconcerned. “I need to find a way to extend my life, and you won’t help me from inside SHIELD. I have to do it myself.”

“We can’t rush this. You have to know that our plan is still being prepared. There can’t be the slightest flaw. You and I both know Nick Fury. Look at what happened to the New York Division. One small mistake and they were all wiped out. So far, we haven’t been able to rearrange people to get in there. It’s New York.”

“Okay, I’ll be careful. But what’s the matter with Wesley Gibson? His promotion speed is a little fast. Although he is a billionaire, it has nothing to do with us. Why is he promoted so quickly?”

“Is there no credit for promotion in S.H.I.E.L.D. because of credit?” Alexander Pierce asked in return. “He entered S.H.I.E.L.D. only a year ago, but he did do a few big things. I can’t stop his promotion, especially since the intelligent program of the mothership was all done by him.”

“He’s a talent. Is there no way to pull him into our camp?”

“No, the people in New York tried, but the person sent died in the sea. When he was washed ashore by the sea, he was almost unrecognizable. The New York police wanted to get rid of him, but you saw what happened.”

“That good?”

“We don’t know enough about his abilities, but he used to be from the Assassin Brotherhood. You know this organization. Their top assassins are very scary. The people they want to kill have never escaped. Wesley and his father, Carlos, destroyed the organization. Their abilities were underestimated by the New York Division.” Alexander Pierce patted his head helplessly.

John Garrett thought for a moment and then said, “If such a person stays at headquarters, then our plan will not be very troublesome. Don’t forget that there is a Captain America recovering, and Nick Fury wants to pull him into the Avengers. This organization is not a subsidiary of SHIELD, but we have to consider their threat.”

“Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and now Wesley. I heard that his code name is Knight. These people are a threat to us. However, since we know it’s a threat, how can we let them gather and ruin our plan?” Alexander Pierce said confidently.
