37. Dispute(2/2)
"That steel cruise ship was filled with containers on its deck and metal ingots in it. It was almost the gravity limit that the mass of gravity can affect."
Looking at Merlin's shocked gaze, Dr. Hall shrugged and he whispered;
"I have already said that what Merlin 'Gaia' represents is an area that only God can enter."

While Merlin and Dr. Hall discuss the legend of the Goddess of Earth, another place in New York, to be precise, in Pierce's office in Manhattan, a dispute is also underway.
This dispute actually has something to do with Merlin.
"Thaddeus! God, you can't just break into my office!"
Pierce complained to the old soldier in military uniform and wearing a two-star general badge on his chest, with an angry face, saying:
"I have to deal with the work! A very important job, what's the matter, we'll talk about it later, is it OK?"
"Yo, the great Lord Pierce has become a big man, so he has no time to receive his former old comrades?"
The old soldier said in a sarcastic voice:
"Look, power wants to turn you from an excellent soldier to a cunning politician! I thought you were always the veteran who never gave up on the battlefield in Vietnam."
"I haven't changed, Thaddeus."
Pierce shook his head, and he waved his finger at his secretary, and after a moment the office door was closed.
"Well, you've taken out old things to suppress me, then say, Thaddeus, what are you, a busy man, who came to me today?"
Pierce took out two cigars from the drawer and gave one to the old soldier in front of him, and his comrades-in-arms on the Vietnam battlefield. Back then, they were just two insignificant grassroots commanders, but now, one of them has become the chief of staff of the Ministry of Defense and the other has become the director of the World Security Council, which is only one step away from the chairman.
It can be said that both of them are perfect examples of striving all the way up from the grassroots level and finally achieving success.
The two were smoking cigars, and no one spoke in the thick smoke. It was not until several minutes later that the old soldier coughed lightly. He raised his head and looked at Pierce, and he said:
"I'm here for the Ministry of Defense."
Hearing this sentence, Pierce's brow frowned. He probably guessed what this old friend was doing.
Sure enough, General Thaddeus's next words made Pierce's brows frown even tighter.
"Several generals asked S.H.E.L.D. to return the mechanical life they captured, and S.H.E.L.D.'s codename is 98084-3."
"This is impossible!"
Pierce vetoed:
"Mysterious affairs are the authorized jurisdiction of SHIELD. It is reasonable for them to accommodate dangerous supernatural lives. Besides, that is a matter between the Ministry of Defense and SHIELD. If you don't go to Nick Fury, why do you come to me instead?"
"Because as long as we are not blind, we can see that you are standing up to Nick Fury!"
The old soldier said in a tough tone:
"It is your support that they can unscrupulously launch nuclear bombs outside the city of Los Angeles, California! Hell! Pierce is a nuclear bomb! It's not a casual thing!"
Chapter completed!
