Chapter 75: Hail HYDRA

This kind of power was something that Bruce had never touched before.

Before this, he had felt the changes in his flesh when he downloaded Black Widow’s Anti-aging Gene and Captain America’s Super Serum Gene.

However, this time it was different, Bruce could clearly feel that every cell in his body was undergoing metamorphosis. Moreover, it wasn’t just any ordinary metamorphosis.

Each cell contained a strong electric current, it directly came from his internal organs and then passed towards the exterior. Every cell and pore in Bruce’s body was changing under this kind of electric current .

Nevertheless, because the current was so small, outsiders couldn’t feel anything at all.

However, if he wanted to, he could easily release the real power of the thunder and lightning right now.

This power of  thunder and lightning wasn’t merely ordinary electricity, it was extraordinarily similar to the thunder and lightning produced by nature.

Whether it be by voltage or power, it was far beyond any ordinary electric current.

Bruce was even able to feel that as long as he wanted to, he could immediately let the whole sky darken with the formation of his new abilities.

This ability was definitely beyond the realm of humans, it was a true super ability.

Although he used more than five thousand points of energy value due to  its cost, it was absolutely worth it.

After owning such a strong ability, his strength would definitely increase amazingly.

‘Beep!’

Just at this moment, the elevator reached the first floor.

“We plan to go out and celebrate after S.H.I.E.L.D. takes over the Tesseract. Will you come with us?”

Iron Man sent the invitation to Bruce .

In retrospect, Bruce had already become someone at the same level as him..

This was what strength brought him.

If Bruce was still only a small third-level agent, Iron Man and the other superheroes would have definitely not treated Bruce like this.

It was also because of Bruce’s performance during this New York War that led Captain America and the others to recognize his capabilities.

“No, I have other things to do.”

Bruce’s answer had slightly disappointed Hawkeye and the others. However, they didn’t force him, after finishing their greeting with Bruce, they left.

Bruce looked at their backs as they left the vicinity, after doing so, he readied himself to return to the Avengers’ base that S.H.I.E.L.D. established secretly before. There were still many things that he needed to do.

“Are you Bruce? Bruce Lite?” Just as Bruce was about to leave, a voice resounded out.

It was a white man in a suit, following behind him were several level six or seven agents. Bruce could easily tell at a glance that these were S.H.I.E.L.D. people. However, he had seen none of these people before.

“Yes, yes I am.” Bruce looked at the leading white male, his face still kept his ever-calm expression.

The lead-man seemed to be in a high position. When he looked at Bruce, there was a sense of scrutiny or even disdain in his eyes.

Now that Bruce had a close look, he actually knew this person, he was the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce.

At the same time, he was also one of HYDRA’s people.

Before this, when S.H.I.E.L.D. destroyed HYDRA’s organization, some members of HYDRA were incorporated and became S.H.I.E.L.D.’s people.

However, these people didn’t change their nature and became double spies instead.

On the outside, they seemed to be S.H.I.E.L.D. ‘s people, but in actuality, they were still a part of HYDRA.

Pierce was now a member of the management layer of S.H.I.E.L.D..

In S.H.I.E.L.D., the director had great authority.

Above the director, there was still the management layer, this was because the members of the management layer could check and balance the director.

A good analogy for this was that they were the people behind the president and members of Congress. 

“We’ve read your information. Come with me now.”

Pierce didn’t even give Bruce a chance to speak, he was prepared to bring Bruce away as quickly as possible .

Bruce wanted to fight back, however, he instead immediately calmed down.

In his mind, a secret plan formed.

HYDRA… He might be able to take advantage of them.

Soon after, Pierce brought Bruce to the Headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. .

“I know you’re one of Fury’s men , but this time, the New York War has made members of the Congress very dissatisfied. You are strong, and there’s even the chance that you have a super ability we do not know about. But even then, you still need a backer, after all, Fury has a handle on the Avengers. “

In the elevator, Pierce’s back was facing Bruce, his tone was quite cold when he spoke about these things.

Bruce didn’t speak at all when he heard this, he already knew that his information and many other things were in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. .

Of course, he didn’t mind this.

That was because with his current strength, he was completely unafraid of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Bruce already guessed what Pierce wanted him to do.

“You should know my identity by now. You can work for me in the future. As long as you are willing, the future S.H.I.E.L.D. director position can be yours. Trust in me, your would become more than this in the future, I can also guarantee your safety at the same time.”

Pierce turned around this time, beside him were more than a dozen level seven or eight agents that were surrounding  Bruce .

Although they just seemed to be ordinary agents , Bruce couldn’t be sure

that these people didn’t own any special abilities, otherwise, Pierce would’ve definitely not dared to have faced him like this.

This was only a threat.

Only after they figured him out would they dare to take action against him

However, Pierce didn’t know that Bruce already knew everything.

Moreover, the current Bruce was someone these people couldn’t deal with anymore, he had a lot of cards in his hand now.

Now that they dared threaten  him, this meant that they have a certain expectation on exactly how powerful Bruce was. 

They blocked off Bruce in this small elevator, this was one of their plans to make sure he couldn’t use his superiority effectively, this led Bruce’s thoughts back to a scene from ‘Captain America 2’.

At the same time, Bruce was extremely sure that since Pierce had dared to do this, it meant that he was well prepared. Even if he beat these people right now, it may be according to Pierce’s plans.

HYDRA… It may die but it certainly won’t topple over. As long as S.H.I.E.L.D. existed, HYDRA would never die.

Now that S.H.I.E.L.D. formed the Avengers, in the case that HYDRA didn’t fight back, they would only become increasingly passive in the future. 

Since Pierce was doing this right now, this meant that HYDRA was aware of this crisis.

Before this, his outstanding performance wasn’t only noticed by S.H.I.E.L.D.’s executives, but had also made HYDRA’s people notice himself.

In fact, for Bruce, this wasn’t a bad thing.

“What about it? Have you decided?”

Pierce revealed a smile on his face, it was as if everything was under his control.

Fury’s powers were enough now that the first Avengers had been formed.

If Pierce wanted to compete against these Avengers, he had to find another way.

Bruce was his primary goal.

From the information he received, Bruce was someone that didn’t fully obey S.H.I.E.L.D.’s orders. 

It was this reason that he tried to rope in Bruce in the first place.

Of course, if Bruce didn’t join them, they would kill Bruce without hesitation.

As for convicting Bruce of doing something illegal, it was an extremely simple thing for them.

At this moment, the eyes of dozens of people in the elevator were all on Bruce’s body. As soon as they would notice that something was wrong, they would immediately shoot at Bruce.

However, Bruce walked towards where Pierce was slowly, and he softly spoke.
