"Target located. Alexander Pierce's exact current location has been found. He is currently inside the World Security Council building." In only a brief moment, Alice had found Pierce's trail, at a terrifying speed.
After all, she was a super AI. With her capabilities, she could easily hack into network systems across the globe and access every internet-connected camera. Finding one person was no challenge for her.
"Good. Head to the World Security Council building immediately. Oh, and Alice, deploy every Anti-Gravity Drone that has been built. Surround the entire building for me. Anyone who dares resist, kill without mercy!" Loren's gaze was icy, his tone filled with killing intent.
The dignified Morgan Family had actually been schemed against by nothing more than a minister of the World Security Council. That was practically asking for trouble. Naturally, he would deal with someone so audacious through thunderous means and make an example of them.
If he did not establish his authority this way, he would be sending the world a message that the Morgan Family's sole heir could be bullied by anyone. Such a sign could never be allowed to appear.
As the saying went, strike one blow to avoid a hundred more. At the very first challenge to one's status, one had to retaliate with the fiercest response and make them learn fear. There could never be mercy for enemies; making them afraid was the only way.
"Understood. The laboratory has currently produced one hundred Anti-Gravity Drones. They have all been deployed and are heading toward the World Security Council building. Everything awaits your command."
"And Alice, hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence database and the Security Council's database immediately. Find all personnel information on anyone suspected of belonging to Hydra. Find as many as you can, then compare them against the personnel inside the World Security Council building.
The moment you find anyone suspicious, do not hesitate. Shoot them on sight. Better to kill the wrong person than let a single one go. Those damned bastards will pay back their blood debts with blood." Loren issued his thunderous orders as he sped toward the World Security Council building.
"Understood. Hacking in now..."
"Ding. Hack successful. Matching personnel data..."
Upon receiving Loren's command, Alice immediately took action. In an instant, she breached S.H.I.E.L.D.'s network firewall.
At that moment, an urgent alarm suddenly sounded within S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret base, putting everyone on edge.
"Warning! Warning! Hacker intrusion detected! Hacker intrusion detected!"
"What is going on? Who has the nerve to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
Hearing the sudden alarm, Coulson turned a grave, questioning look toward Agent Hill, who was specifically responsible for network information security.
Hearing this, Hill anxiously entered commands on the keyboard before her as she replied, "We don't know yet. The attack was far too sudden and aggressive. We received no warning whatsoever."
"How is that possible? We've invested so much time and effort into the Insight Plan over the years. Our big data analysis should have been able to predict any action harmful to S.H.I.E.L.D. How could it fail to warn us even about a hacker attack?"
"Sir, I find it unbelievable too. In the past, even the slightest sign of intrusion would trigger an immediate warning from our system. But this time, they were already at our doorstep before the system detected them. It's too strange."
"It looks like whoever is behind this is no small player. Set up defenses immediately. We absolutely cannot let them succeed."
"Sir, th-this may disappoint you, but they have already breached our firewall. They've even locked every operating system here!" As Hill spoke, she helplessly turned her monitor toward Coulson.
A black bat symbol was displayed on the screen. Aside from that, there was no information at all.
No matter what commands they entered on the keyboard, there was no response.
The sight left everyone present dumbfounded, Coulson included.
"A bat? What is that? Their codename? Are they provoking us?"
"Whether it's a provocation or not, I don't know. But this person's hacking skills are strong. Extremely strong. Far beyond anything we can hope to match."
"Damn it, what the hell is happening to this world?!"
"First Spider-Man showed up, then Iron Man and Hulk appeared. Now even bats have become sentient?"
"Is there any other way?" Coulson frowned as he looked at Agent Hill.
Hill shook her head. "There's no other way. But I've had someone unplug the network cables. Hopefully, we can preserve our data security."
"Warning! Warning! Network firewall breached. Backend database invaded..."
"Oh, shit. Looks like the data wasn't saved either. They've stripped us completely bare."
"..." Coulson.
"This is serious. Think carefully about how we're going to explain this to the director!" Coulson frowned, his expression exceptionally grave.
But just as he finished speaking, a bald, dark-skinned man in a black trench coat emerged from the office.
"Motherfucker!! You really do need to explain yourselves to me. What the hell is going on? Who can give me an answer?"
The man who had emerged was none other than S.H.I.E.L.D.'s director, Nick Fury, nicknamed Motherfucker Hero.
"Sir, we still don't know who did this. Our systems have all been forcibly locked by the other side. We can't trace them at all."
"Fuck! Has the backup system been activated? Use it to trace them immediately. I want to know right now which damned bastard did this. I'm going to kill them."
Hill stammered, "Sir, the backup system was hacked the moment it was activated. And they even sent us an emoji."
"An emoji? What emoji?" Fury's anger carried a hint of curiosity upon hearing Hill's words.
"Sir, I advise you not to look at it. They went too far."
"What do you mean? What emoji could there be that I'm not allowed to see? Stop talking nonsense and show me immediately. What emoji is it?"
Hearing Hill's words, Fury only grew angrier. He immediately walked over to the backup system's computer.
But in only a moment, his face went completely dark, because the screen displayed an image of a black egg.
"Motherfucker, that damned bastard is a racist too!"
