"Please hand over the items to us," the bald man with glasses said, reaching out his hand towards Fang Mo.
"Who are you?" Fang Mo wasn't accustod to their behavior. He already had the items, so there was no reason to give them away. He spoke directly.
"They are mbers of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Team," Natasha explained, trying to ease the tension. "They're here to help clean up the battlefield."
"That's right," the bald man said with a gentle smile. "We are also part of S.H.I.E.L.D., Advisor Fang Mo. The items you have are too dangerous. We need to take them back."
Fang Mo didn't say anything but inserted the Mind Scepter and the Tesseract into his body right in front of them.
"Advisor Fang Mo?"
After seeing Fang Mo's actions, the bald man realized his attitude wasn't well received. The smile on his face beca a little stiff. "Are you also a mber of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Please trust us."
"..."
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Team mbers discreetly placed their hands on their guns, and the atmosphere beca tense.
They had seen footage of the Battle of New York before, including Fang Mo lifting the helicarrier out of thin air. They knew about Fang Mo's incredible strength and the power of the Tesseract he possessed. It would be false to say they weren't nervous.
The other Avengers also sensed sothing was wrong and gathered around.
"What's happening here?" Tony Stark was the first to speak. "Is there a conflict within S.H.I.E.L.D.? Should we call Director Fury for clarification?"
"We ca on orders from the Director," the bald man said. "He instructed us to retrieve these dangerous items."
"Oh, really?" Fang Mo smiled. "Then the information is wrong. I already confird with Nick. He entrusted both of these items to for safekeeping."
"That's right. You humans don't have the authority to control the Tesseract," Thor nodded. "Fang Mo is the most powerful sorcerer I've ever seen. Only he can protect the Tesseract from destruction and misuse."
"I'm sorry, but Nick Fury has been removed from his position."
Just as he spoke, a voice suddenly ca from the elevator. Everyone turned to see a middle-aged man slowly walking towards them. He seed like a senator or a politician, with a fake smile that resembled a fox. There was an air of superiority about him. "The Tesseract has belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D. for seventy years. You have no right to take it."
"And who are you?" Thor frowned.
"He is Alexander Pierce," Stark explained. "In short, he is Nick Fury's superior and the real head of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"What?" Thor was surprised. "There's another boss above the boss? The power structure in your world is so chaotic?"
"Just call Secretary."
Pierce chuckled. "That criminal should be handed over to us, along with the Tesseract and that scepter. They have caused so much destruction, and we must explain it to the people."
As he spoke, several people behind Pierce moved forward, ready to grab Fang Mo.
But in the next mont, those people were thrown back as if hit by a strong force, crashing into the cabinets and walls. Objects toppled and broke, creating a loud noise.
Throughout it all, Fang Mo stood still without moving a muscle.
"!"
Everyone was startled by the sudden turn of events. The people with Pierce imdiately raised their guns and aid at Fang Mo. Thor raised his hamr, and sparks of electricity crackled around him. The situation beca extrely tense.
In this almost explosive situation, Fang Mo finally spoke.
"I don't like it when soone points a gun at my head," Fang Mo's voice was calm and slow. "I'll count to three. Put the guns down. One."
"Why are you defying the governnt?" Pierce replied.
"Two."
Fang Mo didn't even look at him.
At that mont, Stark suddenly rembered the terrorists in Afghanistan and understood what Fang Mo ant. He rembered how the terrorists had tried to shoot Fang Mo in the head, only to be split in half vertically in the next second. It was a grueso sight.
Thinking about the dismbered bodies of those terrorists made Stark feel nauseous, so he quickly advised, "If you don't want to die, it's best to put the guns down..."
Frowning, Pierce, as Nick's superior, had so knowledge about Fang Mo and understood that Fang Mo might actually be capable of such a thing. Since his own plans weren't complete yet, he didn't want to confront Fang Mo directly at this mont. He discreetly signaled, and the people behind him reluctantly put down their guns.
"Advisor Fang Mo."
After collecting his thoughts, Pierce prepared to continue speaking to Fang Mo, "You are now..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a terrifying pulling force suddenly erged, causing Pierce to fly towards Fang Mo uncontrollably. With a loud thud, Fang Mo grabbed him by the neck.
"!?"
This ti, the situation had truly beco chaotic. In an instant, the people on Pierce's side raised their guns again. Even the Avengers were confused, not understanding why Fang Mo suddenly took action and freezing in place.
But in this tense mont, a notification sound suddenly rang in Fang Mo's mind.
[System prompt: Researched the concept of 'Hydra.' You have obtained 20% new module download permissions.]
"???"
Fang Mo was stunned when he heard the notification.
Hydra was a boss creature in the Twilight Forest module, and it made sense to unlock this module by interacting with related settings. Fang Mo was eager to obtain this module, but it was amusing that Pierce was used to unlock it. When Fang Mo realized this, he almost burst out laughing. Yes, Pierce was indeed a mber of Hydra, but the two Hydras were completely different entities. Could it really work like this?
Originally, Fang Mo was planning to surprise these Hydra mbers, but the sudden appearance of this amusing ssage from the system...
"Advisor Fang Mo, please release Director Pierce!"
While trying to hold back his laughter, the people on the other side suddenly shouted, bringing Fang Mo back to reality.
Although he wanted to mock the system, it probably wouldn't respond. So after a brief thought, Fang Mo imdiately controlled his clone Steve to approach a nearby villain nad Crossbones, or sothing like that, and tapped him lightly with his bare hand.
Steve was strong enough to knock out a bull with a few punches, so Crossbones couldn't withstand it. He was sent flying and crashed into a nearby wall.
Seeing this, almost instinctively, everyone turned their attention to Crossbones.
But in that mont, Fang Mo suddenly pulled Pierce towards himself. With his other hand, he pressed against Pierce's chest, and a sharp tip erged from Fang Mo's wand, piercing Pierce's chest accurately.
At the sa ti, Fang Mo whispered a sentence in Pierce's ear.
"Hail Hydra!"
