The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 165 Hydra

In one day, the news of hundreds of killer deaths shocked the entire New York.

Such an incident was unprecedented, and its severity plunged the New York Police Department into extreme busyness and chaos.

The police station’s body bags were consumed in large quantities in a short period of time, and the supply was almost insufficient.

All the resources originally used to handle ordinary cases were now invested in this unexpected incident.

Just dealing with the bodies of these killers kept the police busy.

They carefully carried the cold corpses, their faces full of fatigue and helplessness.

Fortunately, however, the New York gangs became unusually honest under Kingpin's strong control.

Jin Bing, who had a keen sense of smell, realized that something big was happening. He knew that at this critical moment, any rash action could bring him disaster.

He didn't want to be held accountable later, so he decisively restrained his subordinates and made the entire gang keep a low profile.

"Boss, bad news. The wizard has gone to Washington."

There was a hint of nervousness in Natasha's voice as she reported the disturbing news to Nick Fury.

When Nick Fury heard the news, he felt a strong sense of unease.

"The worst has happened. He's now suspecting us. Let's check which flight he took."

Nick Fury ordered urgently.

"He didn't take the plane." Natasha's answer made Nick Fury even more confused.

"???" Nick Fury's face was full of question marks.

"Surveillance footage shows him boarding a flying car and heading towards Washington, but neither satellites nor radar can lock onto his location."

Natasha explained the situation in detail.

Nick Fury fell silent, his mind racing through various possible responses.

At this moment, he felt extremely heavy-hearted, as he knew that things had become extremely complicated.

"I hope things won't get out of control."

He prayed silently in his heart.

Washington, as the capital and political center of the United States, is home to the country's core power institutions, and many senior American officials choose to settle here.

In this special place, anything that happens will be magnified and viewed by countless pairs of eyes, and examined and interpreted from all angles.

If Wes caused a scene here, the consequences would be disastrous.

The political stability of the entire country may be severely impacted, and the chain reaction it triggers will be difficult to estimate.

At this time, Washington seemed calm on the surface, but the security level had been secretly raised to the highest level.

Senior officials are equipped with a large number of security personnel, and their travel and activities are subject to stricter protection.

Various important security agencies such as S.H.I.E.L.D., the FBI, and the Secret Service all began to take action, like a tight net, conducting a comprehensive search of the entire Washington.

However, despite their huge investment of manpower and material resources, they still could not find any trace of Wes.

Weiss seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no way to find him.

After a busy day, Pierce dragged his tired body back to his home.

He had dinner with his family, enjoying this moment of peace and warmth.

After dinner, he returned to his study to continue dealing with the pile of official business.

As soon as he opened the door of the study, his pupils suddenly contracted.

A strong sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart, but his years of political experience quickly calmed him down.

He turned his wedding ring slightly, a small movement that brought him some strength and comfort.

"Would you like a drink?" Pierce said as he poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Wes who was sitting in the chair.

Weiss sat there leisurely.

"Alexander Pierce?" Weiss asked slowly.

"It's me. I wonder what Mr. Erwin wants to talk to me about?"

Pierce tried to keep his tone calm.

"You don't know?" Weiss's tone was filled with doubt.

"What I know is that you eliminated hundreds of killers in New York, and now the whole of Washington has started martial law because of you."

Pierce answered calmly, stalling for as much time as possible while thinking of a countermeasure.

"I don't know why you picked me. I'm just an old man who has retired to the second line."

Pierce tried to downplay his role to lessen Wes's suspicions.

Weiss smiled and suddenly said something that shocked Pierce: "Hail Hydra!"

Pierce's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"you??"

"I, of course not."

The expression on Pierce's face twisted, his mind racing. "How did you know that? Oh, you have the scepter."

He blamed the scepter for Wes knowing his secret, believing it must have given Wes some special ability that allowed him to discover his identity.

"Since you know Hydra, you should know the power we hold." There was a fanatical light flashing in Pierce's eyes. He began to seduce Wes, and his words were full of temptation.

"Join us. With you and the power of the scepter, we can easily control the entire world. Imagine what a great achievement that would be. You will have endless power and wealth and become one of the masters of this world."

In Pierce's opinion, there was no way Wes would refuse his invitation. After all, who could resist such a huge temptation?

He firmly believed that if Wes had any common sense, he would realize that joining Hydra was his best choice.

"Idiot." Wes's voice was not loud, but it made Pierce's head buzz.

"What?" Pierce's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

He suspected that he had heard it wrong, as this answer was completely unexpected.

"Rule the world? You Hydra are not qualified yet." Wes crossed his legs, looking leisurely and disdainful.

In his opinion, the ambitious man in front of him did not know that the world had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The next era will be the stage for superheroes and super villains.

Hydra is at best a supporting role, their ambitions seem so small and ridiculous in this new era.

[Asshole, you actually look down on us.]

A strong anger surged in Pierce's heart.

As a high-ranking member of Hydra, he has always been full of confidence and pride in his organization.

And now, Weiss's contempt made him feel extremely humiliated.

If Pierce could have beaten Wes, he would have taken action long ago.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to suppress his anger.

【Ruin his reputation and make him have no place in this world.】

Pierce was secretly calculating in his mind.
