American comics: Becoming the god of technology from Osborn

Chapter 69: The Final Attack on Harry
"I understand, sir."

After Pierce finished talking about the interests involved with the Roxxon Group, Agent Ward, who had just asked the question, suddenly realized.

Then he saluted Pierce solemnly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted your decision."

Pierce waved his hand nonchalantly and asked, "How is your adoptive father, Garrett, doing?"

"I have rarely seen him since he was promoted to a Level 8 agent. I heard that he is carrying out a secret mission, but I believe he will cover himself well."

Ward replied seriously.

Pierce nodded. "Garrett and I have worked together for many years. I believe that with his ability, he will not let me down."

At this moment, Pierce suddenly turned to Bucky, looked at him with a scrutinizing look and asked, "Winter Soldier, how did the assassination team you led get wiped out? And after you were captured by Harry Osborn, what did they do to you?"

Hearing this, Bucky's heart sank, but his face remained expressionless.

"That night, Osborn only sent two of his men to completely defeat us. They were wearing armor very similar to Iron Man's suit and were very powerful."

It's the Terrorist Mobile Team!

There was a flash of shock in Pierce's eyes. Ever since the Winter Soldier was captured, they had never stopped spying on the Osborn Group. Even though the Osborn Group's defenses were almost airtight, they still managed to get some intelligence.

It contained a small amount of information about the Terrorist Mobile Team, but Pierce only knew that this team was a bodyguard team that Harry had just formed not long ago. Each member was equipped with the most advanced individual equipment of the Osborne Group, and there were about ten people in total.

As for how strong the actual combat capability of the terrorist mobile team is and who exactly are among them, Pierce has no idea.

All members of the Winter Soldier assassination team were killed in just a few minutes. Pierce thought that at least the entire terrorist squad would have to be mobilized to do it, but in the end, only two members of the terrorist squad took action!
With this calculation, I'm afraid they have to treat every member of the Terrorist Squad as having the same combat power as Iron Man. The only difference may be that the Osborn Group is relatively lacking in heavy firepower weapons, and its equipment iteration speed is not as fast as Iron Man's.

While Pierce was re-evaluating the strength of the Osborn Group in his mind, Bucky continued his story.

"After I was captured, they tried to torture me for information about the mastermind behind the incident. When that failed, they locked me in a cryostat. I lost all consciousness until I was released by the Hive."

Pierce was silent for a while, then his expression regained its composure and he said, "I understand everything, Winter Soldier. Now I need to test your body."

Sure enough, it came anyway!

At this moment, Bucky was extremely alert. Whether he could gain Pierce's complete trust in him depended on whether he could pass this test.

He didn't say anything, his face didn't show any emotion, he just nodded obediently.

So far, Bucky has behaved like the former Winter Soldier, absolutely obeying Pierce's control, answering every question and following every order.

Obviously, this is not enough to completely dispel Pierce's doubts. After all, even if the Osborn Group does not have enough ability to crack Bucky's brainwashing, it is possible that they will do something else to Bucky, such as installing a bug on his mechanical arm.

"Ward, take the Winter Soldier for a full body scan."

Pierce ordered Ward.

"Yes, sir."

Under Ward's guidance, Bucky came to a room full of precision instruments, including an operating table and two Hydra experimenters.

When Bucky saw the operating table, many bad memories suddenly came back to him. He suppressed his inner impulse and lay on the operating table calmly.

The experimenter started the scanner, and several machines slowly swept over Bucky's body, starting from the soles of his feet and slowly moving towards the top of his head.

"Harry said that the chip in my head can block all detection methods. I hope he didn't lie to me..."

Bucky was thinking anxiously in his heart that he was ready to be exposed. Once the scanner showed any abnormal changes, Bucky would kill Ward here and there immediately.

Fortunately, nothing abnormal occurred after the scanner completed the test.

Bucky secretly breathed a sigh of relief that Harry didn't fool him.

The two experimenters repeatedly confirmed the scan data and nodded to Ward to indicate that Bucky was fine.

Then, Ward brought Bucky back to Pierce.

Seeing the two of them coming back together, it went without saying that Pierce already knew that Bucky had passed the body scan.

"The mission to ambush Harry in the warehouse has failed. We need to create a new opportunity to kill Harry."

Pierce looked at Ward and ordered, "Ward, have our people at the TV station release a piece of negative news against the Osborn Group. The content is that the emergence of androids will lead to a rise in social unemployment and the possible rebellion crisis of artificial intelligence, forcing Harry Osborn to come forward and explain himself."

Then he looked back toward the hive.

"Hive, on the day Harry was interviewed by the TV station, you parasitized all the people in the broadcasting building in advance and planted bombs in every key location I marked for you."

Pierce said with a sinister look, "It will be useless even if Harry is always accompanied by the Terrorist Squad. They will be buried along with the entire broadcasting building!"

Finally, he looked at Bucky and said, "Winter Soldier, you are in charge of the bomb's detonator. You must press the detonation switch at the most appropriate time and leave no chance for Harry Osborn to escape!"

Among all the people present, only Buggy had been on the battlefield himself and had the most combat experience, so the task of judging the timing of detonation naturally fell to him.

"I understand, sir."

Bucky answered with a firm expression, and so did Ward.

Only the Hive hummed lazily, but Pierce had never expected its attitude to be positive. After all, they were just a group of parasites.

"Very good. I can't leave Washington for too long, otherwise Nick Fury will definitely become suspicious of me, so this mission must be completed as soon as possible."

Pierce nodded to Bucky and Ward with satisfaction.

"Without further delay, Ward, go contact the TV station now."

Soon, a huge wave of public opinion surged towards the Osborne Group after a certain influential TV station mentioned in a prime-time news program that when many companies introduce bionic employees, they always lay off human employees. After the recent unemployment rate showed a clear upward trend, a huge wave of public opinion surged towards the Osborne Group.

This wave of public opinion not only caused a storm on the Internet, but also attracted large crowds of people to gather in front of Osborne's bionic man stores, holding signs and protesting loudly.

"Boycott the Androids and give our jobs back!"
