Chapter 710: Cruel and Merciless

Ever since he was imprisoned in a temporary prison specially set up for these high-ranking gangsters, Pierce has always had a very special kind of anxiety. This uneasiness comes from his former colleagues, and their usual ruthless methods.

Hydra has never been more gentle with its own people than with its enemies. It is even said that in order to maintain internal stability and absolute execution of orders, they often deal with their own people more cruelly. That kind of cruel method can almost be said to have surpassed human imagination, and it is completely inhumane. Therefore, many times, even if they die, Hydra people are unwilling to betray their organization.

But Pierce was different, he didn't want to just die like this casually.

As a head of Hydra in the past, he is different from those ordinary little guys. Totally different. And the main difference of this difference is that he can't just die casually. Even if he is a traitor, he cannot die.

His life is much more valuable and precious. It should not, and there is no reason to follow the rules of the organization. However, even though he thought so, he still didn't have any thoughts of betraying Hydra. At least, he doesn't have any such thoughts now.

As a prisoner, Pierce is very clear about the role of himself, and he is also very clear about what Tony Stark wants from him. The internal situation of Hydra, as well as the list of various strongholds and hidden personnel, and even the intelligence of the leader of Hydra. These are the biggest capitals in his hands. It can be said that as long as he doesn't say these things for a day, he won't be able to get any good fruit from Tony Stark's hands.

Punishment, even the kind of completely inhuman torture, is not something that cannot be used at this moment. In this period of chaos caused by his hand, many things have reached the point where they are completely inapplicable. And precisely because of this, he can be said to have suffered a lot during this period of time. That feeling is no better than death.

However, Pierce persisted, gritted his teeth and survived.

This is not to say that he has suddenly changed his temper and is determined to be a tough guy and a loyal Hydra. Rather, he is more willing to accept these physical tortures than the fate of telling these secrets. Moreover, from a certain point of view, he still has a special expectation, that is, the baron has not yet chosen to give up on him.

Of course, he himself knew very well that in his current situation, there was actually no use value at all. It is highly unlikely that the Baron would waste time and effort in rescuing the next one. It even said that there is a great possibility that he will come to silence his own words to prevent future troubles.

This is the most in line with Hydra's consistent behavior. But for Pierce, he still had a little bit of hope. After all, he was one of the baron's most capable assistants, and he was also the first leader to stand on the baron's side openly.

Just relying on these things without credit and hard work, the baron should have a reason to rescue him at this time.

Maybe, it should be!

At this time, even Pierce himself couldn't tell whether the emotion in his heart was expectation or fear. Even if everything has come before him, he still can't be sure about this kind of thing.

At this moment, outside this temporary prison. Already filled with crazy and loud gunshots. Through the window, Pierce could even see the orange glow of the flames erupting from the gun in the dark night.

That was the movement caused by the prison guards who were specially guarding them, composed of the most elite agents and special forces. Loud and intense. Although it is impossible to observe the specific facts, it is easy to judge what happened outside just by these.

Hydra's attack has begun. But whether it was to save him or for some other reason, he hadn't figured it out yet. This filled him with uneasiness.

This is an issue that determines his life and death, so he can't help but think about it carefully. But time, there was not much time left for him, because soon, the movement outside stopped.

This made this group of former politicians who usually gathered together like residents of an apartment for the elderly or patients in some mental hospital show different expressions.

Some people showed panic on their faces, while others showed joy. Some seemed impatient, others could not wait to stick their heads in the floor. These lower-level personnel of Hydra, or government bureaucrats bought by Hydra, or even those unlucky guys who are completely irrelevant and simply involved, show a completely different look at this moment.

Fear, fear, excitement, retreat, remorse, madness, it can be said that if the expressions of each person here are separated separately and put together in a room, it is enough to form a picture that makes people admire and even shudder. Like the Ukiyo-e pictures of those dead souls under the trial of purgatory.

But in this picture, Pierce's expression is the most special. Because he was calm and silent from the beginning to the end, sitting there without moving, compared with the impetuous and muddy here, it can be said to form a sharp contrast.

However, from his slightly twitching eyelids and the slight trembling of his fingers on the armrest of the seat, it can be seen that his heart is not as peaceful as he appears. Especially after the gunfire outside has ended.

When the gunfire ends, that means the trial begins. And what the result will be depends on who will appear in front of him. And soon, he saw the judge who should appear. And when he saw the person coming, he immediately let out a long breath.

"Timur, I didn't expect you to come to save me?"

"I didn't expect the baron to let me come, Uncle Pierce!"

The person who spoke was a young man dressed in black with a yellow appearance. He seemed to be only in his thirties. Compared to Pierce, this was a very young guy. And for a guy like this, Pierce can relax as soon as he appears, it can only show one thing, that is, the relationship between him and Pierce is really deep.

And in fact, the situation is indeed like this. Because Pierce had a deep relationship with his father, this man was to some extent considered a junior of Pierce, a junior who watched him grow up. Therefore, for such an existence, Pierce naturally relaxed.

"It seems that my old bones are still useful. Timur, how is your father Khan?"

"My father is fine, and when I came, he told me that he wanted to see you again very much, and have a good chat with you to catch up on the old days."

Timur, who had been holding his hands behind his back from the beginning to the end, suddenly showed a weird smile, but Pierce was shocked when he saw his smile.

As an old friend of Khan in name, he is actually a partner. He knew exactly what was going on in that man's mind. He was a guy with a firm will like a rock, and a powerful existence with ambitions like a flame. Such a person would not say polite words such as reminiscing about the past. He has always been blunt about his purpose, using the most realistic means to complete the so-called transaction. Even for him.

That habit is almost impossible to change. And this means that Timur is lying to himself, but why?

Perplexed, Pierce began to look at the young man in front of him, and soon, his attention was on the young man's hands that had been behind his back.

"Timer, why are you keeping your hands behind your back? Or, is the gun in your hand going to shoot me in the head?"

"Uncle Pierce, you should know. I never bothered with guns."

Twirling the corner of his mouth slightly, the guy named Timur calmly spread his hands, and looked at Pierce in front of him with a half-smile.

And when Pierce saw the special existence in his hand, a kind of unbelievable absurdity and a deep-seated panic suddenly appeared in his heart. This made him almost jump up from the chair, and at the same time his eyes were full of fear and guard. However, with a fluke mentality, he asked the question to the man in front of him.

"Tamerlane, the khan's ring, your father's weapon, why did it appear on you?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Raising his hand, Timur's eyes wandered slightly from the ten rings on his ten fingers, and then he replied to Pierce with a half-smile. "I have completely inherited my father's mantle and taken over everything from him. So, it is only natural that I have these magic rings?"

"This is impossible. The Mandarin is proficient in his alchemy, and he can still maintain his life for hundreds of years. How could he give you what he is holding at this time."

Almost immediately, Pierce retorted to Timur. In this regard, Timur just laughed.

"Of course my father is unwilling to hand over his career to me. However, the baron is very supportive of my behavior. So, with the help of the baron, I persuaded my father. Is this a very important thing?" Strange thing? Uncle Pierce!"

At this moment, in Pierce's ears, the sound of "uncle" was really harsh and couldn't be harsher. Compared with this harshness, he was more worried about his own fate. The Baron's participation has made him clearly aware of what happened to the mandarin who once dominated one side, one of the leaders of Hydra.

And the baron is now even more ruthless, and even killed his father Khan Timur to deal with him. Then, the baron's arrangement for him is already an obvious thing. After thinking about this, Pierce trembled all over.

What he was most worried about happened, but in the face of the current situation, he had no room for bargaining, which filled his heart with regret. If he had known this earlier, then he really might as well cooperate with Tony Steck, maybe there would be a better result.

But at this time, it is useless to say anything. Because at this time, Timur, who had become horrifying in Pierce's eyes, had already waved his hand fiercely, and issued such an order to the Hydra soldiers who came here with him.

"Kill them all, leave no one behind!" (To be continued.)
