250: Section 250

It’s no wonder S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization parasitic upon Hydra; over eighty percent of the key departments and key positions are filled with Hydra people!

That smear of crimson was so eye-piercing that it almost made him go on a killing spree right then and there!

Unfortunately...

The personality currently dominating the clone was no longer so flighty; it was one that knew the weight of priorities...

So.

Su Ming could only force himself to pretend he didn't see it...

Until...

While wandering to the seventh floor, a few extremely familiar faces came into view. In that instant, Su Ming pushed open the door almost instinctively...

Creak!—

In the office, a refined old man with blonde hair sat in the seat of honor with a commanding presence.

Opposite him, two lackeys sat facing each other, being incredibly well-behaved.

Su Ming's sudden intrusion caused all three to look over simultaneously. A bald man with glasses, who was currently reporting on work, stood up instantly and looked at Su Ming with a dark expression:

"Who are you?"

"Why didn't the security system sound an alarm?"

"Who told you to come here?"

Su Ming glanced at the door in confusion and spread his small hands:

"I walked in like this, of course... As for the alarm, that was simple. I thought the thing was too noisy, so I hacked the system."

Hiss!—

You're so damn self-righteous about it!

"You..."

Tap tap!—

The refined blonde old man in a crisp suit calmly tapped the table, then said with a pleasant face:

"Alright, Agent Sitwell, you may go now. Let me have a chat with this Agent Omar from S.H.I.E.L.D., shall we?"

"But, Mr. Pierce..."

"Go, Agent Sitwell, I'll handle it!"

"...Yes Sir!"

Though not very willing, Sitwell gave Su Ming a deep look and left the office decisively.

"Captain Rumlow, the overall situation in Eastern Europe still needs you to keep an eye on it. Go, don't let me down."

"As you wish, sir!"

The fierce-looking Brock Rumlow was quite obedient; he stood up and left, not even sparing Su Ming a second glance the entire time.

Creak!—

As the door closed, the smile on Alexander Pierce's face became even warmer.

While getting up to personally pour water for Su Ming, he didn't forget to gesture with full charisma:

"Don't be too constrained, sit..."

However.

Su Ming had already sat down on the sofa, even crossing his legs.

In fact, by the time Pierce sat down opposite Su Ming with the water, he just happened to see the other party fiddling with two wallets in his hands.

"You are..."

Chapter 288: Fun and Planning! Three Major Achievements Related to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Su Ming raised his eyebrows, his face full of certainty:

"Oh, just tidying up the wallets... Mine!"

As he spoke.

Su Ming actually pulled the Dollars out of the wallets and stuffed them into his pocket right in front of Pierce, then casually tossed the two wallets into the trash can.

The problem was...

The driver's license that slid out of the wallet was Sitwell's headshot, right?

So that means the other wallet was Rumlow's?

Ah, this...

Can a person really be this abstract?

In that moment, Pierce's expression stiffened!

He began to doubt whether he should continue trying to win over this external consultant from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Su Ming didn't care about any of that and patted his pocket with satisfaction. Not to mention, the hand speed of a legendary physique was truly top-tier; a battle-hardened agent like Rumlow hadn't noticed a thing!

True.

Despite this guy matching wits and brawn with Captain America, in reality, he was just an elite soldier king.

"By the way, Mr. Pierce, you were looking for me for..."

"Oh, right!" Handing the water cup to Su Ming, Pierce finally got to the main point: "I've seen your file, Mr. Omar!"

Su Ming's eyes lit up.

"Perfect mission performance, exquisite combat capabilities, and..."

Su Ming showed a look of anticipation.

"Heh! —And, coming from the special... you know, for the great Eastern power across the Pacific, an old fellow like me will always pay a bit more attention..."

Su Ming had a look of realization:

"India... Tsk tsk, the 'Third Brother' is indeed worthy of attention. Look, they're already the YouTube Permanent Five!"

Pierce: "..."

Damn it! Lunatic!

You almost made me lose my composure and laugh!

Fuck!

Taking a deep breath, Pierce chose to be open and honest:

"I'll just be direct, Mr. Omar. You have the potential to take root and rise all the way up in this country, but the premise is that you must show some initiative!"

Tsk tsk!—

Blunt, too damn blunt!

The key is, you're the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. after all; how has your skill in 'painting cakes' regressed so much?

However...

Recalling the faces of the 'Donut Representatives' he saw in his past life.

Su Ming's expression changed, taking on a touch of perfectly timed, yet not at all greasy, humility:

"Wow, Mr. Pierce, I'm actually a bit interested in this... However, what did you mean by 'showing initiative'?"

Pierce leaned forward, lowering his voice:

"You're a smart man, Mr. Omar. I think... certain movements of Director Fury need to be reported to the Council led by the Permanent Five..."

"Emmm... do you understand what I mean?"

"Mr. Omar, what are you doing?"

Su Ming turned his phone screen toward the other person. On it, Nick the Black Braised Egg's emoji was cheekily winking...

Holy shit!—

Cursing inwardly, Pierce hurriedly hung up the call!

"Mr. Pierce, I was just about to apply to Director Fury for intelligence declassification. You were..."

Clearing his throat, Pierce almost failed to maintain the fake smile on his face:

"Ahahaha! —Not bad, not bad. I thought that since you just joined our S.H.I.E.L.D. not long ago, you weren't very familiar with the security protocols yet!"

"Looking at it now, it seems I underestimated the learning ability of you East Asians!"

As he spoke, Pierce stood up and patted Su Ming's shoulder, encouraging him:

"Keep up the good work, Omar. I firmly believe that before long, you'll be able to become a Level 5 Agent in the bureau!"

Su Ming showed a look of joy:

"Really? Oh, God, thank you so much, Mr. Pierce! Oh, right, to express my gratitude, I feel there's something I must report to you!"

"A few days ago, Director Nick seemed to have reached a secret deal with the military regarding Tony Stark!"

"However, as you know, the details of the deal aren't something a small character like me should know... Well then, Mr. Pierce, I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that.

Su Ming immediately turned and left.

Seeing the door close, the smile on Pierce's face instantly vanished.

"I see, so he's a guy who won't let the hawk fly until he sees the rabbit... Heh! —This is actually good news. But, no rush, no rush..."

"Put him on the observation list first..."

The great Eastern...

Uh...

Well, no matter how hard Hydra tries, it's very difficult to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. across the Pacific!

Now with Omar as a handle, perhaps...

The final piece of the puzzle that Hydra is missing might finally have a chance to be completed!

However.

Pierce, with calculations flashing in his eyes, would not know that at the same moment, in Su Ming's hand outside the door, a wisp of starlight was quietly blooming!

...

At the same time, atop the Star Palace throne, Hexi nudged Su Ming's side with her elbow and teased:

"Hahaha! So, you call this mature?"

Su Ming had an innocent look on his face:

"How is it not? Interfering with a target's Mind, making them become a pawn without even knowing it... This kind of personality is terrifyingly mature, okay!"

"And..."

Su Ming waved his hand, and an achievement not yet reached in the Comprehensive Network was forcibly projected by him.

[Achievement Catalog 3: Rapid Promotion (Stage 1)]

[Condition: Advance to Level 5 Agent]

[Achievement Reward: Omitted...]

"See that? Raising my agent level lets me fleece the Comprehensive Network! Why wouldn't I do something so effortless and beneficial?"

Hexi couldn't stop laughing:

"But your method is just too crude... hahaha!"

"Aren't you afraid of being liquidated in the end?"

"Watch out for the Avengers putting a sack over your head in the next stage!"

However.

Su Ming wasn't worried at all.
