He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 68 Super Soldier Serum Acquired

"What?!"

If Nick Fury could maintain basic composure upon hearing that John Garrett was a Hydra agent, his expression upon hearing that Alexander Pierce was also a Hydra agent could only be described as one of utter shock.

He took over the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. from Alexander Pierce, and without Alexander Pierce's strong recommendation, he might not have become director.

Much of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funding was secured for him by Alexander Pierce, who is now the Secretary of State for the World Security Council, through his tireless efforts from major powers.

It can be said that in Nick Fury's mind, Alexander Pierce was not only his former boss, but also a good friend with the same ideals.

"No wonder, no wonder I was almost killed today after just conducting the investigation yesterday. No other high-ranking official in S.H.I.E.L.D. could have done that."

Although he didn't want to believe it, once Nick Fury put Pierce into the role of the mastermind behind the whole incident and as a Hydra agent, everything suddenly made sense.

"Are there any others? Is there a complete list of Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Nick Fury looked up and asked again.

Li Chuan turned around and shrugged:

"At the time, the base was about to be blown up and we were in a hurry to leave, so we didn't get much complete information. The only people we can confirm at the moment are John Garrett and Alexander Pierce."

However, based on the information we've obtained, we can deduce that most of your S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have already defected to Hydra.

He provided Pierce with information so that Nick Fury wouldn't be too passive in the upcoming battle, ultimately forcing him to call back Captain Marvel. He provided Garrett with information because he had a grudge against him.

As for the others, he doesn't intend to provide them.

Otherwise, if Nick Fury easily eliminates all Hydra agents based on the intelligence he provides, it wouldn't be a good thing for him either.

What he needs is a balance between the two sides so that he can reap the benefits.

Even if Nick Fury eventually eliminates Hydra, he will be severely weakened and unable to interfere with him anymore.

"Good, that's already very good, Mr. Li Chuan. Thank you for the information. I've already sent someone to retrieve the super soldier serum sample and related information you requested, and they should be delivered here soon."

Hearing Li Chuan's answer, Nick Fury wasn't too disappointed, because the gains from this trade had already exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that exposing a Hydra executive of Garrett's caliber would be well worth it, and he could follow this lead to slowly uncover the others hidden behind it.

Unexpectedly, Pierce was revealed as a huge surprise.

In fact, if Li Chuan had actually provided a list of Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D., he really wouldn't have believed it.

In his understanding, since Hydra could remain secret for so many years, its secrecy measures must have been extremely thorough. Perhaps even Pierce wouldn't have such a list, let alone a Hydra base in Sokovia.

About ten minutes later, a red vintage car with a 1934-style design flew over the Lee Building with flames shooting from its rear, and then slowly landed on the roof.

"Chief, here's what you wanted!"

A middle-aged agent with a noticeably receding hairline stepped out of the car with a smile, carrying a suitcase.

His name is Coulson, and he is one of Nick Rurui's most trusted agents.

"Why does this car look so familiar?"

Tony wasn't interested in the box Coulson was carrying, but he was intrigued by the flying vintage car Coulson had driven over.

He felt that he had seen this kind of car somewhere before.

"Her name is Laura. She was originally created by Mr. Howard and was later modified many times to achieve her current high performance."

Upon hearing Tony mention his beloved car, Coulson immediately became interested and began to talk at length about it.

Tony gradually recalled some memories:

"So this is it. I remember now, it seems that my father made a similar prototype at the Stark World's Fair in 1943, but it failed."

Later research revealed that a finished product was indeed made, but production was abandoned due to its high cost.

Just as Tony and Coulson were talking about Laura, Nick Fury handed the box to Li Chuan.

"Mr. Li Chuan, thank you again for your help. If you have any new information about Hydra, please contact Coulson. I believe we will cooperate happily like we did today."

"certainly!"

Upon opening the box and seeing a vial of super soldier serum and a USB drive inside, Li Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

At that moment, Coulson, who was chatting with Tony, also handed Li Chuan a business card with his number on it.

"This is my business card."

I'll contact you if anything happens.

Li Chuan closed the box and accepted the business card with a smile.

"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

Having achieved his objectives, Nick Rurui gave Coulson and Natasha a wink before sitting in the passenger seat next to Laura.

Having learned the identities of Pierce and Garrett Hydra, he urgently needed to return to make various arrangements and plans.

Seeing this, Coulson and Natasha, who had been somewhat dazed, greeted Tony and Li Chuan before getting into the car.

However, just as Laura took off, Li Chuan suddenly remembered something and shouted with a smile to Natasha, who was sitting in the seat behind Laura:

"Miss Natasha, don't forget you made plans to go shopping with Wanda tomorrow. Don't break your promise, or Wanda will be disappointed. If Wanda is disappointed, I'll be unhappy, and if I'm unhappy, I might not be able to share Hydra information with you anymore, you know?"

"Mr. Li Chuan, I understand."

Natasha's lips twitched, but she nodded in agreement at Nick Fury's prompting.

Once Laura was completely away from the Lee Building, Nick Fury asked Natasha:

"Although the mission failed, I think you should have gained something from it!"

"He has a highly professional and powerful team of bodyguards under his command. He himself is not an ordinary person and should be very strong. It is possible that he has been injected with body-enhancing drugs, as have his bodyguards."

At the same time, he loves his wife very much and values ​​her safety highly; he is a very responsible husband.

Natasha took a deep breath, cleared her mind of all distractions, and began to report everything.

Nick Fury frowned as he listened to Natasha's report until he heard the last point, at which point he finally smiled.

It wasn't because he thought Li Chuan was a good person just because he loved his wife, but because he felt he had found a flaw in Li Chuan.
