American comics: Becoming the god of technology from Osborn

Chapter 75 Come and beg me to kill you (Fifth Update)

"No one knows the exact whereabouts of the Serpent Crown. I only know that Lady Hydra may have some clues. She should be the one closest to the Serpent Crown among all the Serpent Heads."

Pierce lowered his head and told Harry the information he knew in a lifeless tone.

"Where's the Tesseract?"

Harry continued to ask.

"The Cosmic Cube is hidden in a secret research center called the Pegasus Project. The Pegasus Project is not located in a fixed location, and it changes locations every once in a while. Now only Nick Fury is qualified to view the specific location."

Pierce shook his head.

"During the decades you served as Director of SHIELD, didn't you research the Cosmic Cube?"

Harry asked inquiringly.

"The Cosmic Cube, the universal wish-granting machine, how could I not have studied it?"

Pierce sneered, "In the eyes of you who know nothing, as long as you hold the Cosmic Cube and imagine what you want in your mind, the Cosmic Cube will automatically help you realize this wish, but the truth is far from that simple."

"If the Cosmic Cube is not used in the correct way, it will not only fail to fulfill wishes, but will cost people their lives and may even lead to the collapse of the entire world. Back then, the great leader Red Skull tried to use the power of the Cosmic Cube to directly modify reality and make Hydra the only winner in the war."

"But we all know the final result very well. Not only was Red Skull defeated by Captain America, but he was also attacked by the Cosmic Cube and ended up with nothing left."

Hearing this, Harry's eyes moved slightly. The Red Skull once used cosmic power to rewrite the outcome of World War II, but was backfired and left with no remains?

Why does this sound so wrong?
In his impression, failure in using the Cosmic Cube or poor results were not uncommon, but being killed by the backlash of the Cosmic Cube's power was unlikely unless it was planned by someone with ulterior motives.

Just looking at Pierce's expression, he seemed to believe this statement.

Harry asked some more secrets about Hydra and SHIELD. Although Pierce did not answer every question, he still told Harry most of them. He must have made a choice in his mind, and told Harry some information that would not have such a big impact even if he knew it.

"Okay, that's all for today, Bucky. Let's go and give the old man some private space."

Harry knew that it was not easy to completely pry open the mouth of old man Pierce, and there was no need to rush to make him tell everything right away, as that was unrealistic.

It would be much more convenient if there was a mind controller or a memory extraction device...

"Wait! What do you mean we're done for today? I've been very cooperative. I've told you everything I know about what you want to ask. Shouldn't you let me go?"

Pierce became anxious when he saw Harry preparing to leave.

"Mr. Osborne, we have no real conflict of interest. The actions against you were all because of the Roxxon Group. They are the mastermind!"

"We can cooperate. I can mobilize the intelligence network and various resources of Hydra and SHIELD for you, and you don't have to pay anything. Just forget about what happened today! There is no benefit in imprisoning me here!"

"I promise you that after Project Insight is completed and Hydra takes control of the world, we will give the Osborn Group a large piece of land. You can even establish your own country!"

Harry paused as he was leaving. Pierce's eyes lit up with joy when he saw this, thinking that there was hope.

He knew that his expression just now was extremely ugly, but in order to survive and unify the world, Pierce was willing to endure the humiliation!

"Sometimes I just can't figure out whether you are really not smart enough or just pretending to be confused." Harry sighed in boredom and turned to look at Pierce.

"Let me believe that Hydra will give Osborn Group a piece of land to build a country. Why don't you believe that I am the resurrection of the Red Skull?"

How dare you! How can you compare yourself to the great leader Red Skull?
Pierce wanted to point his finger at Harry and curse him, but he had to keep his anger to himself. "What do you want in exchange for letting me go?"

Pierce asked with a wry smile.

"When did I say I would let you go?"

Harry calmly asked back, "I told you that as long as you cooperate and speak, I will spare your life, so you are still alive today."

"Of course, if you don't want to live anymore, you can also ask me to kill you."

Pierce's face turned pale and blue, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably as he suppressed his anger.

In his entire life, he had never suffered such humiliation!

Unfortunately, neither Harry nor Bucky had any intention of paying any attention to Pierce and locked him alone in a dark cell of only 20 square meters.

"Pierce is right. Imprisoning him here will sooner or later attract the attention of SHIELD, HYDRA, and the Security Council."

In the passage, Bucky asked Harry seriously.

"That's why I created a substitute android for Pierce. Your next task is to take it to the Hydra base and let it replace Pierce's position in Hydra."

Bucky was stunned when he heard this, "I thought your android was just used to scare Pierce."

"That's true, it did scare him, didn't it?"

Harry asked back with a smile.

Bucky then returns to Hydra's New York base with his stand-in Pierce.

And Harry returned to Osborne Building.

"The problem with Hydra has been solved for the time being. Now we should think about how to deal with the Roxxon Group."

Long before Harry inherited the company, Roxon had been secretly planning to acquire the Osborne Group.

But because the Roxxon Group did not openly become an enemy of Harry after Harry came to power, he did not care too much about Roxxon.

Unexpectedly, the Roxxon Group secretly colluded with Hydra and let Hydra deal with them. From beginning to end, Roxxon was always hidden behind the scenes and let others do all the physical work.

It was not until Bucky went undercover with Pierce that he realized that the Roxxon Group had been doing a lot of things in secret.

But Harry still couldn't quite figure out why Roxon was so persistent in targeting him?
"If I remember correctly, Dario, the boss of Roxxon Group, seems to be a minotaur. He has the blessing of the Minotaur in the Greek pantheon, and his fighting power should not be underestimated."

Harry searched for information about the Roxxon Group.

"Not counting the mysterious Minotaur, Roxxon's exoskeleton armor technology should not be underestimated. Although it has not yet been made into a full-coverage model, it is easier to mass-produce. Roxxon Group almost has an exoskeleton army."

There seems to be no advantage in confronting the Roxxon Group head-on...

At this moment, Harry suddenly remembered a news report he saw last week about a "hammer-shaped meteorite suspected to have fallen in New Mexico."
