A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Chapter 91 You've infiltrated my S.H.I.E.L.D.? I'll use Skrulls to counter-infiltrate your Hydra!

First, Tony Stark rescued him from the cave and then swiftly defeated Stan.

Then there was the other side's appearance in the Arctic Ocean during a sensitive period, plus this current incident.

Nick Fury felt that things were pretty much settled, almost certain.

Tony Stark must have been enraged to turn against Hydra after reading in his diary that Hydra had killed his parents.

This motive is far more plausible than Stern stealing Tony Stark's armor.

"Yes, sir, I was just as surprised as you were."

"Stark actually attacked a senator, and he did it so ruthlessly."

"Just because Stern wants his armor? That's not like Stark at all."

Coulson's voice rang out, agreeing with Nick Fury's question but also expressing doubt.

This further confirms Nick Fury's suspicions.

However, it wasn't easy to explain this to Coulson, so Nick Fury didn't say much.

He simply uttered a serious-sounding exclamation: "Hydra? The Starks have truly opened our eyes!"

"Who can argue with that?"

Colson expressed his strong agreement.

He, like everyone else, believed that Hydra no longer existed.

"Sir, what are you planning to do?"

Coulson then looked at Nick Fury seriously and asked.

"Stark has gone to such lengths for us; we can't let his kindness go to waste."

Nick Fury said meaningfully.

The next step is without a doubt.

Nick Fury then began meticulously planning the operation to arrest Senator Stern.

Taking into account Hydra's infiltration background, Ludan also made a series of other detailed preparations.

Before the formal arrest was carried out, he used his connections and resources outside of S.H.I.E.L.D. to lay a large net.

Once the formal arrests begin, Nick Fury will take full account of all the reactions from all sides.

At that time, who will tip off Stern in advance, who will cover for Stern, and who will try to erase some of Stern's key traces?

Nick Fury will hold on tight!

For Lu Dan, Stern was like a pebble in his hand, something he wanted to use to create some ripples.

The calm water of the ancient well is still, and even the braised eggs cannot be seen through it.

But if ripples are created, then it's a different story, isn't it?

"Coulson, begin the operation!"

"I'm giving you authorization right now to immediately carry out the arrest operation against Stern!"

By the time everything was almost ready, two weeks had passed.

Without any further hesitation, Nick Fury immediately gave Coulson such an order.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon receiving Nick Fury's orders, Coulson immediately led an elite team from S.H.I.E.L.D. and set off.

Of course, at least half of them are still Hydra agents.

The news that Nick Fury was going to arrest Senator Stern was immediately passed on to Pierce by the undercover agents.

"What?"

"Nick Fury is going to arrest Stern?"

Pierce, in his top-floor office, was extremely surprised by this.

This is too sudden, isn't it?

What's wrong with Nick Fury? Why would he suddenly take action against someone of a senator's stature?

Did that good-for-nothing Stern slip up and give himself away?

Pierce fell into deep thought, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with a solution.

"Quickly inform that good-for-nothing, he's being targeted by Nick Fury!"

"Get rid of any traces of wrongdoing as quickly as possible, before Nick Fury finds out!"

Now is not the time to dwell on these things. Pierce quickly issued such an order to the senior undercover agents around him.

However, what Alexander Pierce didn't know was that his actions played right into Nick Fury's hands.

After all, Stern was already under Nick Fury's surveillance from every angle as soon as he issued the arrest order.

Someone tipped off Stern, and Stern quickly dealt with the related mess, but none of these actions escaped Nick Fury's notice!

And so began this silent contest.

With Nick Fury's shrewdness and his calculated tactics, the outcome of this contest was entirely predictable.

Despite receiving advance warning, Stern still couldn't escape and was successfully captured by Coulson.

Not only that.

Nick Fury also gained more intelligence through this arrest, thanks to the extensive network he had already laid out.

Nick Fury caught a lot of the tricks that Pierce ordered Hydra to pull!

Hearing the feedback from his private channels outside of S.H.I.E.L.D., Lu Dan was quite satisfied.

Similarly, it is truly shocking!

Since Stern issued the arrest order for Coulson, the speed and intensity of the mysterious force behind him have been astonishing.

This clearly demonstrates that Hydra has indeed infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. to an insane degree.

The diary truly lived up to its reputation!

However, Lu Dan also believes that through his careful planning this time, he will definitely be able to uncover a lot of related information.

The braised eggs are full of energy and ready to make a big splash.

Lu Dan has already used his private resources to analyze the evidence gathered during this arrest operation.

What Lu Dan had to do next was to interrogate Stern thoroughly!

Lu Dan believed that if he personally oversaw the interrogation, he could still extract a lot of information.

"What? Stern's been arrested?"

"That good-for-nothing, didn't we warn him beforehand!"

Compared to the braised egg's high spirits, Alexander Pierce in the top floor was truly exasperated.

He never imagined that Stern was so useless; he was utterly hopeless.

Coulson received the order and notified you almost immediately, and yet you still got arrested?

How did Hydra end up hiring such a useless person?!

However, now is not the time to angrily criticize Stern.

After venting his anger, Pierce immediately began issuing orders to the high-ranking undercover agent in front of him.

As Nick Fury's boss, Pierce knew Nick Fury very well.

That guy was definitely the best agent he had ever met.

If Stern falls into this man's hands, Nick Fury will surely uncover many of his secrets.

Therefore, Pierce needs to prepare early.

Even Pierce was well aware that Hydra would have to make a huge sacrifice this time, giving up a considerable amount of power and resources.

Otherwise, Nick Fury will not give up.

That's right, in order to preserve the overall situation, Hydra might have to make a tough decision!

Just thinking about it gave Pierce a headache. It was all that damn Stern's fault!

Why did Nick Fury have to target him of all things?

wrong!

Why did Nick Fury suddenly set his sights on Stern?

This is also a problem that Pierce is very concerned about, even a core issue.

Because Pierce specifically investigated and found that Stern hadn't actually done anything outrageous!

So why was Nick Fury targeting him?

"Sir, it's Tony Stark!"

After some investigation, Pierce received a surprising answer.

"Stark?"

Pierce raised an eyebrow at the high-ranking undercover agent beside him.

"Yes, sir. Stark conducted a secret investigation into Stern after the hearing and uncovered some crucial evidence."

"Then Stark handed over that crucial evidence to Coulson."

So why did Stark secretly investigate Stern after the hearing?

Pierce and his top undercover agent both had the same guess:

Because Stern was trying to steal Stark's armor.

So Stark turned around and pulled a sneaky move!

That's damn good.

It's unbelievable that that playboy could be so ruthless.

Isn't it just that they're after your armor?

You actually went and ruined someone's life?

Pierce was only slightly surprised by Tony Stark's behavior, but he didn't think much of it or suspect anything.

After all, they don't have a God's-eye view, so they couldn't possibly know that Playboy already knew about Hydra's existence.

It can only be interpreted as Tony Stark being rather ruthless.

For someone like Pierce, he's seen plenty of ruthless people.

Even someone as ruthless as Stark doesn't even rank among the worst.

Pierce didn't think much of it and even breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that Nick Fury didn't discover anything, otherwise things could get really complicated.

So Pierce was temporarily relieved.

They began to focus their attention, preparing specifically for the potential trouble Stern might cause.

This silent, indirect contest between Pierce and Nick Fury has begun.

Both Pierce and Nick Fury were top-tier agents and super spy chiefs.

The contest between the two was truly thrilling.

It lasted for almost a month before finally ending with Nick Fury uncovering a wealth of Hydra intelligence and "draining" Stern dry.

However, thanks to Pierce's foresight and proactive measures, Nick Fury managed to take a big bite out of Hydra.

But ultimately, it didn't cause any serious damage.

Of course, it was enough to make Pierce wince.

Nick Fury's move indeed dealt Hydra a heavy blow!

But thankfully, it's all over!

That's right, it's temporarily over.

In the past month, Nick Fury has been working at full speed, and he has already dug up almost everything he could, so there is no more to be found.

Even so.

The things they found at Stern's place were enough to make Nick Fury's heart race.

"I never imagined you were all Hydra agents!"

Staring at the thirty-odd people on the computer screen, Nick Fury's one eye gleamed, and his face looked ugly and fierce.

Among these thirty-odd people, several were high-ranking agents within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Some of them were even Coulson's confidants!

Keep in mind that this is just what was uncovered by using Stern as a starting point, and that's all there is to it.

So what if we continue digging deeper?

Braised eggs? I can hardly believe it.

By now, Nick Fury had virtually no doubts about the SHIELD infiltration details recorded in the diary.

It seems S.H.I.E.L.D. has truly become Snake H.I.E.L.D.!

I've really failed as a bureau chief.

However, after a brief moment of reflection, Nick Fury fell into deep thought again.

How should we deal with these undercover agents he discovered?

Clean it up?

Should we keep it for now?

Given the current level of S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltration, eliminating these undercover agents wouldn't be very useful.

After all, that may only clear the tip of the iceberg and not actually change anything.

Instead, it would alert the lurking Hydra, making it even more cautious and careful.

So Nick Fury quickly made a judgment: keeping these undercover agents around was far more useful than getting rid of them.

Lu Dan wants to use these Hydra spies as an opportunity to dig out even more information.

So how can this be done?

How can you keep an eye on Hydra agents without them noticing or alerting any of them, even when the agency is full of them?

Even for Nick Fury, this was a rather troublesome matter.

Unless... it's Nick Fury using a top-secret trump card!

"It seems like it's been a while since I had coffee with Talos."

After a moment's thought, Lu Dan made a decision.

He grabbed his stylish black trench coat and left his office with an air of mystery.

"Talos, come out for a coffee, it's on me this time."

As Nick Fury walked towards the door, he dialed a phone number.

About forty minutes later.

Nick Fury appeared in what looked like an unremarkable coffee shop.

Opposite them, there appeared another person who looked to be in his forties or fifties, with dark yellow hair.

This man was none other than Talos, Nick Fury's Skrull ally.

"Don't like the food here? I remember you do love cappuccino."

Lu Dan casually sipped his coffee while chatting idly with Talos.

"Alright, stop with the act. We all know you didn't come here for coffee."

"And you'll only contact me in one situation, which is when you want me to impersonate someone."

"Tell me, who is it this time?"

Talos rolled his eyes; he'd seen right through that idiot a long time ago.

"That's why I enjoy dealing with you Skrulls; you're straightforward and direct, without any pointless small talk."

Lu Dan didn't waste any more words and handed some documents to Talos.

Inside was none other than a high-ranking Hydra spy that Lu Dan had found!

That's right.

This is Nick Fury's solution to deal with Hydra: fight fire with fire!

You've infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., so I'll infiltrate Hydra again!
