Marvel: Starting with the forced creation of villainous characters

Immortality?

How could an evil organization from a mere island nation possess the secret to granting immortality?

Pierce's eyes instantly burned with passion.

But before he could even feel happy, what followed instantly dampened his spirits.

"Kunlun? The legendary Qi? An ancient cultivation technique from the East?" Pierce's interest vanished instantly.

As for the power system from the mysterious East, all I can say is that those who understand it understand it; it's too mystical for those of us who are scientists to comprehend.

Moreover, Hydra's forces can't get in there, but...

What if their immortality is not due to cultivation, but for some other reason?

Pierce thought to himself, still somewhat unwilling to give up.

With current science and technology, achieving immortality is not out of reach; Whitehall is irrefutable proof.

However, the methods of immortality that Hydra knew were too risky, and some even involved dehumanization. These methods of immortality were not what he wanted, and he could not use them before reaching the end of his life.

After confirming that there were no taboos surrounding the information, he printed it out and then took it to Nick Fury, who was in his office.

Pierce pushed the door open and entered, while Nick Fury, who was wearing a black trench coat and looking out the window with a serious expression, turned around and said, "Sir, remember to knock next time you come in."

"Next time, for sure," Pierce said casually, then placed the documents in his hand on Nick Fury's desk.

"You'd better take a look at this document. It was sent by the council. We must take this matter seriously and handle it properly."

Nick Fury glanced at Pierce with his one eye, then picked up the documents on the table and began to look through them.

The Hand is that powerful? How come S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't discover it before?

Nick Fury thought with some surprise, but considering that S.H.I.E.L.D. had reached its peak under his leadership, he also felt that it was all justified.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't as powerful in the past, and its influence didn't even extend to Japan, so it's normal that they didn't know about this deeply hidden evil organization.

"What are the conditions for cultivating this Qi?" Nick Fury was more concerned about supernatural power, especially the supernatural power that he could control. As for the danger of the Hand, he didn't care about it for the time being.

These days, there are plenty of illegal organizations involved in drug smuggling and organ trafficking, and the Hand is definitely not the only one, or even the most serious one.

Unless it's a mission assigned from above, S.H.I.E.L.D. generally doesn't actively seek out these kinds of troubles.

The existence of something implies its rationale; the fact that the United States has a breeding ground for these organizations means that these things cannot be eliminated by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Pierce stated, "What they mean is that S.H.I.E.L.D. must crack down hard on the Hand, this evil organization that threatens international security."

Nick Fury deflected blame, saying, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by the FBI?"

Pierce shook his head and explained, "The FBI is not as strong as we are within the island nation, and it is not suitable for this kind of international mission."

"Alright, I'm a bit interested in the Alliance. We'll take this mission." Nick Fury put away the documents.

The existence of an evil organization wielding supernatural powers certainly piqued Nick Fury's interest, since S.H.I.E.L.D.'s primary responsibility is to control supernatural forces, and the Hand is indeed within their purview.

Pierce nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, then turned and left Nick Fury's office.

The reason he supported Nick Fury to become the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was because this guy possessed a mysterious power that he was unaware of. It was precisely with the help of that mysterious power that Nick Fury led S.H.I.E.L.D. to its peak.

After Pierce left, Nick Fury picked up the landline phone next to him: "Get Agent Hawkeye here."

After thinking about it all night at home, Sharon Carter finally decided to have a serious talk with Mark.

She returned from the future to the present to guide Mark onto the right path, not to drive him into darkness.

If Mark were to hold a grudge against S.H.I.E.L.D. because of this, her sins would be enormous. S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed not clean inside, but it is also necessary for S.H.I.E.L.D. to exist.

After preparing a gift as an apology, Sharon Carter arrived at Mark's new residence early in the morning.

Mark's face darkened when he saw who it was through the peephole.

This woman is going too far; she's like a persistent leech!

Mark did not doubt S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence capabilities, and he knew that his whereabouts could not be hidden from S.H.I.E.L.D., which was why he did not move away from New York.

Since the other party dared to come to his door again, it meant that this woman must have some trump cards that he didn't know about. Besides, some things can't be avoided.

After Mark told Mindy to get ready, he opened the door with a cold expression.

Mark feigned childish mockery, saying, "Madam, I think you should know what you've done. You're not welcome here."

Sharon Carter put down the gift she was holding, clasped her hands together, and pleaded, "I'm so sorry about this, I'm here to apologize!"

"Come in." Mark let her in.

After they sat down, Mark, still with a cold expression, asked, "Tell me, what exactly are you and your backing forces planning?"

"First of all, I apologize for the bugging incident," Sharon Carter apologized again, then added, "I didn't mean any harm."

"Huh? No ill intent?"

Mark was so angry he laughed.

You planted a listening device in my house without any malicious intent? Are you trying to fool a child?

"I tracked you down from the island of James, and on the same day you fled that island, we launched a surprise attack from behind."

"Actually, if you hadn't run away, I would have rescued you too. What I want to say is, I really didn't mean any harm."

Sharon Carter looked at Mark earnestly and said.

Mark seemed thoughtful after hearing this explanation. Could there really be such a coincidence?

Mark asked, "And then what? How do you explain the bugging?"

Sharon Carter explained, "It's for your safety. After all, a group of kids are living next to Hell's Kitchen, and I'm worried about something happening to you."

Mark, who wasn't entirely convinced, went along with the other person's words, pretending to suddenly realize something, and said:

"So... the reason you and your organization contacted me? It's because we were victims on that island, and you're here to protect us?"

"My unit is called the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency, a secret intelligence organization under the International Security Council, responsible for handling supernatural events and global crises that conventional forces cannot handle."

Sharon Carter believed Mark understood what she meant, even though it was a bit complicated for an adult to hear.

Mark didn't give him any face, and instead asked in confusion, "Shouldn't this be the responsibility of child protection organizations? After all, we don't have any mutants or superpowered individuals here."
