Overnight, several of the world's highest-ranking figures, existences capable of deciding the life and death of many, had died just like that!
Those of their same echelon naturally felt a sense of shared grief and fear.
To put it bluntly.
Xu Fu's existence could genuinely threaten their lives.
They were already in high positions, enjoying the World, how could they possibly allow such a thing to happen?
Among these people.
The most intense reaction didn't come from others, but from the people of HYDRA.
If you were to say which organization on Earth targeted Mutants the most, it would naturally be HYDRA.
They were originally a force that split off from NC.
Their targeting of Mutants was entirely for the purpose of conducting human experiments, to research their abilities.
The number of Mutants who had died in their hands was truly countless.
Now that such an anomaly had emerged among the Mutants, they were naturally panicked.
Xu Fu naturally had no intention of standing up for the Mutants, nor did he intend to settle accounts afterward.
But the people of HYDRA didn't know that!
In their view, Xu Fu had purged these people, and who knew when he would purge them!
This was absolutely unacceptable to the people of HYDRA.
Several heads of HYDRA even gathered together and held a major meeting.
What they discussed was how to target Xu Fu.
Due to Xu Fu's formidable strength, they ultimately decided on a strategy: to outwardly befriend him while secretly researching Power sufficient to resist Xu Fu.
If Xu Fu really were to take action against them, they had to ensure they had the ability to resist.
The various heads of HYDRA all had their own hidden agendas.
Among them, the one who contributed the most effort was none other than Alexander Pierce, one of the heads of HYDRA.
The Security Department minister of the World Security Council.
How is it that such a World-class high-ranking official is a member of HYDRA?
Naturally, it's because HYDRA is a very awesome and ancient organization in the Marvel Universe.
Its history can be traced back to the era of Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, at that time they already had a corresponding organizational structure.
During World War II, the HYDRA within Germany, like the current HYDRA, had infiltrated.
In other words, Germany was actually also a victim of HYDRA's conspiracy.
It wasn't that the crazy leader of Germany back then built HYDRA.
Red Skull was just one of HYDRA's heads.
Within HYDRA, there are many families with thousands of years of inheritance, therefore Alexander Pierce's background is very clean.
Naturally, he was able to come to the surface and become a high-ranking official of the World Security Council.
At the same time, he is also Nick Fury's superior, his recommender.
It can be said that Nick Fury, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was entirely pushed up by Alexander Pierce.
Therefore, his relationship with Nick Fury is very good, the two of them have a life-or-death friendship forged on the battlefield.
Having this kind of identity and position.
The resources and strength that Alexander Pierce can mobilize are naturally very astonishing, and naturally, he is highly regarded by the other heads of HYDRA.
After the internal meeting of HYDRA ended, he approached Nick Fury.
Alexander Pierce is a smart man.
He knew that Nick Fury was inherently suspicious, and didn't immediately reveal his intentions.
"Fury, we need to talk."
"Pierce, come in, please sit."
Nick Fury, seeing Pierce enter, immediately offered him a seat and poured him a sherry.
S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't completely unrestrained, Pierce is still his superior in terms of position.
No matter what, Nick Fury must maintain respect.
"What's the matter?"
"You're a very busy man, you definitely wouldn't come to me without something important."
Nick Fury looked at Pierce with his one eye.
The current Nick Fury, although he instinctively feels that something is not right with S.H.I.E.L.D., hasn't suspected Pierce yet.
In his eyes, Pierce is still his most reliable comrade.
Seeing Pierce enter, he seemed to be quite sincere.
Alexander Pierce first sighed, then opened his mouth.
"Have you heard about the recent events?"
Nick Fury raised an eyebrow and said.
"Are you talking about those people's matter?"
"I think those people deserved it, it has nothing to do with us."
"Fury, I am naturally standing with you, I also think so."
Pierce first defined the nature of this sentence, then spoke again.
"But, even if we think so, others may not think so."
"Especially the members of the World Security Council, they are very worried."
"They are worried that these Mutants will lose control."
"The Power of Mutants is too strong, if they really lose control, then the consequences would really be unimaginable."
Nick Fury remained silent, but in his heart, he actually quite agreed with this idea.
Nick Fury has a kind of perverted desire for control, liking to have everything in his hands.
Even with the Avengers under his command, he created various means of control, the transparent prison specially prepared for Dr. Banner on the Helicarrier shows this.
He doesn't trust anyone, he likes to control everything.
It wasn't until S.H.I.E.L.D. disintegrated and he went into the shadows that this morbid desire for control improved a little.
Now is the time when his desire is at its peak.
"They like to suspect everything, they like to control everything."
Nick Fury, this guy, is also old double standard, clearly doing the same thing himself, but also looks down on the members of the World Security Council.
"I think Mutants are very safe."
"We just need to maintain the status quo, then they are safe."
Nick Fury said this very calmly.
But Pierce, who knows him, knows that Nick Fury has already taken it to heart, he just needs to add more Fire.
"Fury, I understand what you're saying."
"But we ultimately have to consider the opinions of the World Security Council, have to consider the opinions of ordinary people."
"They are too easy to lose control."
"Just last year alone, the number of casualties they caused reached tens of thousands, this is a terrifying number."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. must be responsible for the safety of ordinary people, we can't only consider the rights of a few people."
Alexander Pierce spoke earnestly.
If people who don't know his true identity, would really be fooled by him.
Nick Fury fell into deep thought.
Alexander Pierce spoke again.
"Of course, I'm not saying that we have to do something to the Mutants."
"But we always have to plan for the worst, right?"
"We have to be able to guarantee that, in case something goes wrong with the Mutants, we have corresponding means of checks and balances."
"Fury, you also understand that this World is very cruel."
"If we want to be good people, then we must master Power that is even stronger than bad people."
Alexander Pierce said.
The light in Nick Fury's eyes flickered.
