The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 166 18-person team

A dozen or so S.H.I.E.L.D. armored vehicles arrived like a steel torrent, their engines roaring like the deep growls of wild beasts, shattering the tranquility of the night.

The vehicles quickly dispersed, completely surrounding Pierce's house.

The armored vehicles gleamed with a cold, metallic luster, and the various advanced weapons and equipment on board exuded a chilling aura, ready to be deployed into battle at any moment.

Several fighter jets hovered in the air, their weapon systems firmly locked onto Pierce's villa, ready to attack at the slightest sign of trouble.

In the study, Wes sat quietly, letting S.H.I.E.L.D. do as they pleased, without making any attempt to stop them.

His face was expressionless.

"Is it someone from S.H.I.E.L.D. or someone from Hydra?" Wes's voice was calm, yet carried an invisible pressure.

Pierce pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

But his mind raced as he considered how to respond.

"Forget it, you two are already so intertwined that it's impossible to tell each other apart."

A flurry of footsteps came from the first floor.

"Pierce!" Pierce's wife knocked anxiously on the study door.

Her voice carried a hint of fear, but even more so, it was filled with concern for her husband.

"Honey, you take the children and go first." Pierce's voice was calm and firm. He knew the situation was very dangerous and that his family's safety had to be ensured first.

There was a moment of silence outside, then a voice came: "Okay, be careful."

As the wife of a secret agent, she was more calm and rational than the average person.

She knew this was not the time for sentimentality; she had to get the children out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Nick Fury, holding a megaphone, shouted into the room, "Wes, calm down, Pierce has nothing to do with this..."

His voice echoed in the air, filled with anxiety and worry.

"Ha~ha~~ You're really something, even someone as suspicious as 'Ludan' didn't suspect you." Wes' laughter was full of sarcasm.

Fooling Nick Fury, the "King of Spies," is one of the things Pierce is most proud of in his life.

Pierce selected him when "Braised Egg" was still an ordinary agent and supported him all the way.

Nick Fury's rise to power is the evolutionary path of Hydra gradually eroding S.H.I.E.L.D.

Pierce meticulously planned and skillfully orchestrated the rise of Nick Fury to a high position, while simultaneously allowing Hydra to infiltrate and expand within S.H.I.E.L.D.

He was proud of his strategies and methods.

Seeing that Wes was completely ignoring him, Nick Fury frowned, his unease growing stronger. He knew he couldn't let this stalemate continue, so he had no choice but to launch a full-scale attack.

With a mechanical hum, a special unit slowly disembarked from an armored vehicle.

This unit has only 18 members, each of whom has been selected through extremely rigorous processes.

They were all outstanding agents who stood out from a large number of talented individuals; they were truly elites selected from among thousands.

They not only possess outstanding physical qualities and combat skills, but also have a tenacious will and a high degree of loyalty.

Their equipment was also extremely advanced and eye-catching.

The modified energy gun emits a mysterious light and is extremely powerful. A single shot is as powerful as a rocket and can cause devastating damage to the target.

Their exoskeleton armor, with its sleek and robust lines, grants them immense strength and agility.

In combat, this exoskeleton armor allows them to easily handle various complex situations, effectively resisting both powerful impacts and fierce enemy attacks.

And the helmets they wore were incredibly high-tech.

This helmet can effectively prevent psychological attacks, providing them with important protection in combat.

The various advanced equipment seemed to belong only in science fiction movies or novels.

The Chitauri invasion of Earth brought immense disaster, but it also allowed S.H.I.E.L.D. to acquire many valuable resources.

By studying and drawing inspiration from these alien technologies, S.H.I.E.L.D. has developed weapons at an extremely rapid pace.

This team was specifically created by S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with Wes.

They underwent intensive training and constant practice, all to maximize their effectiveness in crucial moments.

Because they have only been established for a short time, they still have some shortcomings.

But at this moment, the situation was urgent, and they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"This team has also been infiltrated by Hydra, hasn't it?"

Pierce didn't answer, but Wes could tell from his eyes that was it.

The amount of money and resources required to build such a powerful and advanced force is unimaginable.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

From the research and development and manufacturing of advanced exoskeleton armor to the modification of powerful energy guns, and the development of high-tech helmets that can withstand mental attacks, each of these requires a significant investment of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Countless researchers worked day and night, expending countless efforts.

To build this team, S.H.I.E.L.D. spared no effort in utilizing resources from various channels, and the scale of their investment is unimaginable.

[Let's make Pierce feel bad if we take down this team.]

Wes secretly plotted in his mind, then created a clone, which opened the window and flew out.

Meanwhile, Wes's true form remained in the study, quietly observing the development of the situation.

The clone instantly appeared on the lawn. Nick Fury saw Wes's clone appear and wanted to come over to negotiate.

However, before he could even speak, the clone fired a magic bullet at the concrete ground in front of his feet. With a loud bang, a large hole was blasted in the concrete, and debris flew everywhere.

Nick Fury was startled by the sudden attack and quickly retreated.

"Attack!" Nick Fury had no choice but to give the order to attack.

The 18-man squad immediately launched an attack, firing energy bullets from their energy guns.

These energy blasts didn't even touch the hem of the clone's clothes.

The clone lightly tapped its finger and uttered three words: "Gravity Spell".

For a moment, the 18 people paused in their movements.

But they quickly realized what was happening and activated the anti-gravity device, successfully counteracting the effects of gravity.

"Interesting." Wes, in his study, smiled slightly as he watched the team's performance.

"It seems you've carefully planned how to deal with me."

Pierce looked at the scene before him, his heart filled with tension and worry.

He could tell that Wes wasn't serious and was just playing around.

"We can talk..." Pierce didn't want to lose the force he had painstakingly built, so he tried to negotiate with Wes.

"Shut up and just watch quietly."

Wes ruthlessly sealed Pierce's mouth shut, rendering him unable to utter a sound.
