Chapter 890 Wanted (5,000-word chapter with more chapters, please give me monthly votes!)(1/3)
The person being interrogated in the video is Bartok who jumped off the ship and ran away.
Unexpectedly, this person had been arrested by SHIELD and returned.
In the video, the interrogating man asked:
"Bartok, who ordered you?"
Steve looked at Pierce and said, "Is this a live broadcast?"
"Yes, they caught him last night in a safe house in Algiers. It's not a very safe place."
Steve asked: "You mean he's a suspect in Nick Fury's assassination?"
Pierce shook his head and said: "Bartok doesn't like assassinations."
"It's not him, it's more complicated than that."
Pierce then continued: "Bartok was hired by an anonymous person to attack the Lemurian star, and they were contacted by email and paid by wire transfer."
"Then the money here was transferred through seventeen fake accounts and finally transferred to a holding company."
"The company is registered by Jacob Veitch."
Having said this, Pierce handed the compiled information to Steve.
Steve took the information and asked doubtfully: "Should I know him?"
Pierce continued:
"It shouldn't be. Vicky died six years ago."
"His last known address was 14-35 Elmhurst Street."
Steve was flipping through the information and listening to Pierce's explanation.
Pierce continued: "When I first met Nick Fury, I learned that his mother lived at 14-37 Elmhurst Street."
Upon hearing this, Steve looked at Pierce and said:
"You mean Fury hired pirates?"
"why?"
Pierce explained:
"The more popular theory is that this kind of hijacking is just a transaction to cover up confidential information."
"The deal went wrong and Nick lost his life."
Steve retorted: "If you really know Nick Fury, you should know that this is impossible."
Pierce nodded: "Why else would you come to see me?"
Then Pierce stood up and walked aside, and then said as he walked:
"do you know?"
"I serve on the Council not because I wanted to, but because Nick Fury asked me to."
"Because we are both very realistic."
Pierce walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the scenery outside and said:
"We know that, despite all the diplomacy and pretense, building a better new world sometimes requires destroying the old."
"And this will inevitably make enemies."
Having said this, Pierce turned and looked at the captain.
"They will say you are shameless and dirty because you are willing to do shameful things in order to create something better."
"It makes me very, very angry to think about those people living their lives now."
At this time, Pierce walked back from the floor-to-ceiling window to the desk, and then continued:
"Captain, you were the last person Nick saw before his death. I don't think this is a coincidence."
"I think you feel the same way."
"And he also promised you about the physical enhancement potion."
During the sermon, Pierce opened a suitcase placed in front of the table and revealed the contents.
"This is a physical strengthening agent, an item produced by Charlotte Office."
"This item has a market value of 3 billion U.S. dollars, or an energy-based 084 item that conforms to ninja standards."
"This is why some people in the bureau suspect that he is dealing with you."
Looking at the physical enhancer in front of him, Steve was very eager.
He also knew that if he handed over the USB flash drive obtained from Nick Fury, he should be able to successfully obtain it from Chief Pierce.
But the justice in his heart and his own character would not allow him to do this.
Even if he went to Charlotte Office to exchange for the shield behind him, he would not exchange it for what Nick Fury gave him before his death, especially since Nick Fury would not let himself trust anyone before his death.
Pierce continued:
"So I'm asking once, why is he at your place?"
"As long as you answer my question, I will do what Nick Fury promised you during his lifetime."
Steve glanced at the physical enhancer in front of him. Although he was sometimes distracted, he still said:
"He told me not to trust anyone."
Piers asked: "Including him?"
Steve glanced at the physique enhancer again, and then said:
"Sorry, those were his last words."
"Excuse me!"
After speaking, Steve picked up the shield placed aside and prepared to turn around and leave.
"team leader."
Hearing Pierce calling him, Steve stopped and looked over.
Pierce spoke at this time and said:
"Someone killed my friend and I have to get to the bottom of it."
"Anyone who stands in my way will be regretted."
"no matter who."
"And without my approval, no one can remove the physical enhancement agent and 084 items at this stage."
Steve looked at Pierce and said after a few seconds of silence:
"clear."
Then Steve turned around and left Pierce's office, and got into the elevator.
Steve said to the elevator steward:
"Go to the control center."
"Di·Confirmed."
Just when the elevator door was about to close, Rumlow stretched out his hand to block it, and then ordered to the person behind him:
"All commandos at the ready."
"clear."
"Yes, sir."
Rumlow walked in with his commando team, and then said:
"Go to the evidence collection office."
"Di·Confirmed."
After explaining his location to the elevator steward, Rumlow greeted Steve:
"team leader."
Steve turned around.
"Rumlow."
The elevator door closed and descended slowly.
At this time, Rumlow said: "The physical evidence team found some fibers on the roof of the building and wanted us to take a look."
"Do you want the tactical team to be in position?"
It is true that Nick Fury set up a tactical team for Steve, with Steve Rogers as the captain, Rumlow, Natasha and a group of commandos as members.
Of course, the three are still members of the Avengers, but the Avengers have not assembled again since the Battle of New York.
