A bit ridiculous.
Until Naraku Uehara left, the pretend-dead Nick Fury didn't actively show himself; after hearing Uehara Naraku's words, he didn't disbelieve him.
Nick Fury just thinks the timing is off.
Because the hidden enemies within S.H.I.E.L.D. have not been fully revealed, and while Uehara Naraku, the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., has not fallen into crises yet, revealing his pretend-death plan is useless.
Rather than this…
It's better to let Uehara Naraku sit in the tricky position as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.; when Uehara can't hold on within S.H.I.E.L.D…
He, as the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., will reveal himself to resolve potential crises involving Uehara Naraku and S.H.I.E.L.D., also rallying people's hearts.
Nick Fury is incredibly shrewd.
Uehara Naraku contemplated for a moment; at this point, he couldn't make Nick Fury, who had already pretended dead, take another hit, so he helplessly stood up and left.
Besides silently recording a debt owed by his old boss in his heart, Uehara Naraku couldn't do much else…
Nick Fury, this old boss can't be moved…
Then he can only move Alexander Pierce, this old superior.
Now that Uehara Naraku is in a bad mood, he always needs to drag out one superior to kill, right?
Back at S.H.I.E.L.D., Uehara Naraku sat in Nick Fury's office chair, leisurely spinning his phone, contacted Bruce Banner, and ordered this Green Hulk to attack Alexander Pierce's base.
Western United States.
In a valley.
Uehara Naraku and the Green Hulk stood on a cliff, watching a team of patrolling armed soldiers in the valley, slowly taking out his phone.
"Hey, Director Pierce."
Uehara Naraku sensed the strong winds on his face, gently asked, "I've already taken the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., can I pay a visit to you now?"
"Hahaha..."
The laughter at the other end of the phone was hard to suppress; after laughing, Alexander Pierce agreed: "Of course, today will do! Today, quite a few base leaders are here, as the commander of this S.H.I.E.L.D. division, you surely can't miss out, we're also discussing how to utilize S.H.I.E.L.D.'s energy…"
The new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the arch-enemy of Hydra, being his subordinate is actually quite prestigious for Alexander Pierce.
Today, many Hydra base leaders are here; besides discussing the future direction of S.H.I.E.L.D., they are also discussing experiments on the Mind Staff.
"Yes, sir."
Uehara Naraku nodded in agreement, hung up his phone, and nodded at Bruce Banner beside him: "Go… cause a scene here! Kill everyone!"
Uehara Naraku hugged his arms, chuckled lightly, and continued: "I'm the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., also the head of Hydra, Director Pierce's death is all due to you Avengers, I'm just here to clean up afterward…"
"…"
Bruce Banner looked speechlessly at the boss beside him, shaking his head to himself: "Actually, there's no need to be so cautious…"
This sure is a guy!
This guy was just chatting and laughing with Alexander Pierce, now asking him to kill Alexander Pierce…
"I like things to be neat…"
Uehara Naraku nodded, slowly continued: "But in front of those Avengers, killing Alexander Pierce is something done by you and me together."
"…"
Bruce Banner's eyelid twitched.
Does this guy even feel shameless?
"Don't waste time."
Uehara Naraku raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and softly said: "Though time doesn't hold meaning before me…"
"…Alright… I understand."
Bruce Banner helplessly clenched his fists, turned his head towards the valley, his body began to swell, his clothes gradually tearing…
"Roar!"
The towering Green Giant boldly appeared!
The moment the Hulk appeared, he leaped from the cliff, jumped into the valley, swinging his fists and knocking down the patrolling armed soldiers!
Gunfire echoed within the valley!
The Hulk's physique made him fearless of any firearms, instead making him all the more furious, punching a trembling soldier beside him, the gunfire in the valley got sparser, finally only the roaring of the Hulk remained…
Below the cliff.
The secret Hydra base received word of the Hulk's attack; teams of armed soldiers constantly advanced with various weapons towards the valley at the base entrance…
The soldiers guarding the Hydra base were at least several hundred people, equipped with various light and heavy weapons, yet everyone knew their assault would only delay time…
"How could Hulk be here?"
Alexander Pierce hurriedly left the base's conference room, while leading his friends toward the secret safety passage, he slowly took out his phone: "I'll call Uehara, what exactly is going on, why didn't he send information…"
The Green Hulk's attack on the base was too sudden.
The base's armed forces could actually repel a whole US military regiment attack, but against the Green Hulk kind of monster was helpless, at most they could use sonic attack weapons to repel that monster…
Of course.
Pierce was more worried if there were other superheroes.
If beside the Green Hulk that monster, there were also Tony Stark and Steve Rogers that duo of superheroes, the fall of the base was inevitable…
That was the truly troubling part.
Today many Hydra base leaders were at his place!
"Hello?"
"Uehara!"
Alexander Pierce called and his anger was almost undisguised: "What exactly is going on? Why is Hulk here?"
According to their usual rules.
When the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. attacked Hydra's base, Uehara Naraku would notify Pierce in advance, only letting Hydra leave a group of cannon fodder at the base to die…
What's going on today!
Besides Alexander Pierce, quite a few Hydra top brass were here too, he was just bragging that the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was loyal to him… not even a minute later, something went wrong!
Uehara Naraku, this guy…
Could he have betrayed them?
Within the base's safety passage.
Uehara Naraku's figure quietly appeared inside the passage, he stared at the heavy iron door in front, holding his phone, lightly said: "Don't worry, wait a while, sir…"
Uehara Naraku's hand exerted force bit by bit, phone started to show cracks, his tone became lighter: "Anyway… we will meet soon."
"What do you mean!"
Click…
The phone instantly disintegrated into fragments.
Uehara Naraku dropped the phone pieces, straightened his collar, looking like he was about to enter important occasions.
The heavy iron door of the safety passage slowly opened.
Alexander Pierce still grumbled into the hung-up phone incessantly, hearing the safety passage door open, he raised his head towards the passage.
And…
The man inside the passage dressed in a suit.
"Surprise."
Uehara Naraku smiled raising his head, spread his hands toward Alexander Pierce and Hydra base leaders.
"FUCK!"
Alexander Pierce threw away his phone, his face nearly masked with rage: "Right now, go settle the monster outside immediately!"
Alexander Pierce reflexively gave orders to Uehara Naraku but instantly realized his mistake!
This guy…
Why appeared in the base's safety passage!
"Wait…"
Alexander Pierce eyes instantly filled with alertness: "Uehara Naraku, why are you here!"
"Obviously…"
Uehara Naraku's smile grew wider, calmly extending his fingers: "To inherit your position, sir."
