At this moment, several council members were in a meeting with Pierce on the World Security Council's floor.
They were once again discussing the hijacking of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s vessel.
The World Security Council existed to oversee S.H.I.E.L.D., so they would seize upon any minor incident to hold them accountable.
However, Pierce, with his silver tongue, had rebutted the inquiries of the four council members.
"Every time S.H.I.E.L.D. has a minor issue, you all jump out and chatter incessantly, flying into a rage. It seems the council also needs supervision."
"Rather than a broken-down ship, we should be more concerned with the bigger picture."
Just as a white-haired council member was about to retort, Pierce's secretary entered.
She walked directly to Pierce and whispered something to him.
After the secretary finished speaking, Pierce apologized to the holographic projection of several council members and left the conference room.
"Looks like there's trouble again," one of the council members speculated, seeing Pierce's expression.
As the holographic projection ended, the few remaining people didn't exchange any further words.
"We're in the same building. Do you only come here when there's a kidnapping?" Pierce said with a smile as he shook hands with Nick Fury.
"Oh no, I'd come even if there was a nuclear war," Nick Fury replied, amused by Pierce's teasing.
They had been friends for many years. Pierce had once been the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and later held positions in the Department of Defense and other political roles.
Nick Fury had also served as the S.H.I.E.L.D. deputy director in charge of regions like Bogota, Colombia. Their friendship began in Bogota.
At the time, the U.S. embassy in Bogota was occupied by rebels, and the embassy staff were held hostage, including Pierce's daughter.
In the face of failed negotiations, Nick Fury disobeyed Pierce's orders and chose to strike decisively. He then successfully defeated the rebels and rescued all the hostages from their hands.
After that, their relationship grew closer, and Pierce's current position as a minister in the World Security Council was also due to Nick Fury's request.
Because S.H.I.E.L.D. needed someone on their side to have a seat in the World Security Council.
After a few moments of casual conversation, Nick Fury got to the point.
He gathered his thoughts and said to Pierce, "There's something I need your help with."
"I want you to initiate a vote to postpone the Insight Project."
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Pierce said solemnly, "Nick, this isn't a simple matter. It requires hearings, and they take a long time."
"It might be alright, I don't think there will be any problems. I just need some time to check it out." Nick Fury also frowned.
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Pierce continued, "What if there's really a problem with the plan?"
"Then we'll all be glad those Sky Carriers didn't take off," Nick Fury replied after hearing Pierce's question.
After hearing his words, Pierce pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, but you have to get Iron Man to come to my nephew's birthday party."
After saying that, he extended his hand to Nick Fury.
"No problem," Nick Fury replied, then shook hands with Pierce.
After getting Nick Fury's answer, Pierce added, "He can't just take a quick tour, he has to go in and play."
Nick Fury nodded helplessly.
After applying to postpone the Insight Project, Nick Fury left S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Triskelion headquarters.
He contacted Agent Hill while driving, asking her to come to Washington as soon as possible.
Nick Fury needed someone he could trust to help him find the hidden problems within the Insight Project.
Just after he finished contacting Agent Hill, a police car approached from behind and pulled up alongside him at a traffic light.
The two white police officers in the driver and passenger seats of the police car turned to look at Nick Fury. Their large sunglasses concealed their eyes, as well as their emotions and thoughts.
Seeing the police officer next to him staring, Nick Fury turned his head and said impatiently, "What's the matter? You want to check my ID?"
The police officer in the driver's seat said nothing, just turned his head and drove. The police officer in the passenger seat picked up the walkie-talkie and said something.
As the police car turned to drive, the green light at the intersection came on. Nick Fury stepped on the accelerator and started driving again.
Just as Nick Fury drove through the intersection, two speeding police cars suddenly rushed out from the side roads, boxing him in.
After being severely injured on both sides, the police car driven by the two police officers who had been watching him also suddenly began to reverse, crashing directly into the front of his car. Then, another police car rushed up from behind and pinned his car in place.
Surrounded by four police cars, Nick Fury's car couldn't move. The violent impact not only caused him some injuries but also damaged his car, rendering many of its functions unusable.
In this life-or-death crisis, as the police were breaking his windows, Nick Fury pulled out a machine gun from the middle of the car and fiercely opened fire on them.
After firing for a while, the car's transmission system recovered, and he drove the car in an attempt to escape.
Just as he was about to escape, a man with a mechanical arm and wearing a black mask appeared in front of his car.
The masked man held a strange firearm and shot a circular bomb onto the underside of his car.
The bomb stuck to the car's undercarriage and exploded instantly. The blast flipped Nick Fury's car, sending it tumbling in the air a few times before it landed upside down on the ground.
The masked man slowly approached the overturned car.
He strode quickly to the car and grabbed the door with his left mechanical arm.
Crack!
The masked man tore the car door off and flung it away, revealing the driver's seat.
As he looked, the driver's seat was empty. A large, red-glowing square hole was cut into the roof.
The hole connected to the underground sewer, where Nick Fury had escaped.
It turned out that Nick Fury, inside the car, had taken out a handle emitting a blue laser from its tip upon seeing the approaching masked man. He then cut a large hole in the roof and escaped quickly through the sewer.
Night fell. In the Hexagram Alliance base, Meng Ran was flipping through a stack of documents.
During this time, he and Liu Xiu had done a lot of research on the chip removal method.
This thick stack of data contained the results of the latest experiment. The overall results were quite good, indicating that they would soon be able to come up with a concrete plan to remove the chip.
If the chip could be removed, Meng Ran could then search the memories of the monsters and Blackwater personnel currently being held, which would be extremely helpful for their intelligence work.
Just as Meng Ran happily flipped through the data, preparing to reward himself with a delicious meal, Xiao Bai's report suddenly echoed through the base.
