Chapter 242 Burning Stark Tower to Ashes
It’s over.
Bruce never expected that Wanda would have such a habitual action.
Have I been a maid in my dream for too long?
At this time, Wanda's expression was a little dull. She had realized that something was wrong, but the atmosphere was so awkward that she didn't know how to deal with it.
"Thank you."
Bruce said calmly.
He took the milk from Wanda and poured it into the coffee in one go, and then never mentioned what happened again.
Wanda is the only one left who is still doubting herself.
Why do I know what Bruce wants as soon as he reaches out his hand?
……
Stark Manor.
Tony was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Pepper came over with a stack of documents for him to sign.
"You came just in time."
When Tony saw Pepper, he immediately patted the empty seat on the sofa next to him and asked her to sit over.
"Come on, sit next to me!"
"what happened?"
Pepper frowned. Tony was not a very serious person usually, but he had never been as impatient as he was today.
Tony realized that Pepper had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Don't worry, I won't do anything, I just ask you something."
"what's up?"
Pepper sat on the sofa, and then saw Tony looking hesitant, rubbing his hands with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
She rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't underestimate me. Even if you say you are bankrupt and want to borrow money from me, I can afford it."
"Okay, then I'll just tell you."
Tony let out a long breath and said, "Pepper, how are your parents doing?"
"Ok?"
Pepper leaned back sharply, hugging the documents to her chest with a defensive look on her face.
"What do you want to do?" she said seriously. "I'm warning you, you can joke with me at will, but don't even think about bothering my parents. They won't buy your tricks!"
"That was not what I meant!"
Tony quickly explained, "It just suddenly occurred to me that I never seemed to care about you at all, and I don't know a lot about you, such as which university you graduated from, where your parents are from, and what your name is..."
"You don't know which university I'm from?!" Pepper's eyes widened in disbelief. "Didn't I tell you the first day I met you?"
"I forgot." Tony said confidently, "It doesn't matter. Let's just treat it as getting to know each other again. Miss Potts, can you accept my interview?"
"ill."
Potts suddenly felt helpless. She had such a problematic boss. Maybe she had killed someone in her previous life.
"Just ask whatever you want to ask," she sighed. "I'm so busy at work that I don't even have time to have a cup of coffee."
"I'll buy you coffee!"
Tony immediately said, "Pepper, go get two cups of coffee!"
Little Pepper's face was immediately filled with question marks.
She really wanted to ask, is there something wrong with your brain?
"You're my assistant, you must have done this." Tony said guiltily, "Besides, I don't know where the coffee is."
Little Pepper sighed deeply and decided that she had to make an appointment with a psychologist this weekend.
While Pepper went to make coffee, Tony secretly clicked on the holographic image to confirm the information he had collected.
When he was in the world of the dead, he got a lot of information about "Potts" from Howard.
For example, Potts' full name is Howard Potts, which is an easy name to remember.
In 1970, when he was working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he visited the . military base in New Jersey.
With this information, it would be easy to find that person, but Tony worked all night and found nothing.
Howard Potts, this man seemed to have completely disappeared and left no trace in this world.
Was it hidden intentionally?
Tony felt that it was unlikely. Even if the other party was involved in some state secret project that needed to be kept confidential, it was impossible for him to wipe the slate clean.
"Perhaps the so-called Potts is an imaginary friend of the old man?"
Tony thought of this explanation, but he still couldn't completely convince himself. If he didn't get to the bottom of it, he might never be able to rest in peace.
Now we can only start from Pepper's side.
After all, the last name Potts is the last clue.
At this time, Pepper came over angrily with two cups of coffee and handed one of them to Tony.
"What do you want to ask? Ask now!" she said unhappily.
"Then I asked."
Tony held up the cup and said, "What's your father's name? Do you have a picture?"
……
SHIELD.
Fury looked gloomy and walked into a hidden room.
In the room, a man was hanging in the middle. Coulson was wearing boxing gloves and was beating him hard, using him as a sandbag.
Fury had never seen Coulson so excited.
"How's the questioning going?" he said.
Coulson stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked in confusion: "What are you asking?"
Fury: ???
"Then why are you fighting so hard!" He flew into a rage, "I asked you to ask him why he betrayed ."
"Just kidding! Chief, you really should relax a little."
Coulson kicked the hanging man in the stomach, and the man immediately wailed.
The man being hung was Baron Strucker, who was captured by Tony and Steve. His official identity was still a member of . After being captured, he was brought to . by Steve.
Although Steve didn't say anything at the time, his meaning was very clear.
You can deal with your own internal scandals, but you must give them an explanation!
"Rogers thought I had instructed Strucker to do this."
Fury looked at the hanging Baron, who was still humming and groaning, and he became more and more angry the more he looked at him.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and kicked the baron directly in the stomach.
It's amazing to say, but after this kick, Fury really felt a lot more relieved.
“He has a hard mouth.”
Colson said, "I beat him all night, and he wouldn't say anything."
"That means you hit too lightly."
Fury said, "Give him some big shots, use water torture or electric shock, no matter how hard his mouth is, you have to pry it open for me!"
"No problem!" Coulson assured immediately.
Fury left angrily, leaving Coulson and Strucker alone in the interrogation room.
Coulson looked at his former colleague and shook his head, saying, "Stark, we are colleagues after all. If you tell me the truth, I can make sure you don't suffer as much."
Upon hearing this, Starak suddenly laughed. His mouth was full of blood foam, making the smile look particularly scary.
"What are you laughing at?" Coulson said calmly.
"You are so naive, Coulson."
Stark said, "I should have been the one saying that to you just now."
"What do you mean?" Coulson frowned.
This Stark was about to die, but he was still so arrogant. Did I not hit him lightly?
"You're going to be finished soon."
Strack said, "Since I was not killed last night, it means they have made a decision. It will not be me who will die, but you."
"They? Who are they!" Coulson asked quickly.
However, after Baron Stark said this, he closed his eyes and had no further reaction, looking as if he was willing to fight or be beaten.
"You asked for this."
Coulson also laughed angrily.
Don't think that you are easy to bully just because you look honest.
Coulson is a real agent who has worked his way up from the bottom of .!
He knows so many ways to torture people!
Today, I will let you, Stark, experience what it means to live a life worse than death! Coulson turned around and was about to prepare something good when the door of the interrogation room suddenly opened again.
"Mr. Pierce?"
Coulson was stunned when he saw the person coming in.
Alexander Pierce, former director of . and current liaison to the World Security Council.
He is also Nick Fury's mentor and Coulson's predecessor.
Shouldn't he be in Washington, Why is he suddenly in New York?
"Coulson, thank you for your hard work."
Pierce smiled and asked, "Did you find out anything?"
"No." Pierce shook his head and said the same thing as before, "He's very stubborn. I'm going to give him a big one."
Pierce's smile widened when he heard that Strack said nothing.
"You behaved very well," he said.
Coulson was just about to say something humble and say that he did nothing, when he suddenly heard Stark behind him say something that made him shudder.
"It's all for Hydra."
"HYDRA?!"
Coulson's heart was filled with alarm and he drew his gun without thinking.
boom--
Gunshots were heard, but they were not fired by Coulson.
Coulson covered his chest with his hands, looking at the blood stains spreading across his chest and the muzzle of the gun filled with smoke in Pierce's hand.
At this moment, he understood everything.
"traitor……"
He uttered this sentence with difficulty, and then fell heavily to the ground.
There was no more movement.
Pierce put away his gun with a calm expression, walked over to Starrak and uncuffed him.
"Your loyalty has withstood the test," Pierce said flatly.
However, the Baron did not feel any joy at this moment after surviving the disaster. On the contrary, he finally revealed his greatest worries.
"Something bad is going on."
He said, "All the data in Starrak Manor has been copied by Tony Stark!"
"what?!"
The calmness on Pierce's face finally broke.
"You loser!"
He deeply realized Baron Starrak's incompetence, and in a fit of rage he kicked him hard, hitting Starrak in the stomach.
The other party flew out wailing.
Huh?
I don’t know if it was some kind of magic, but after Pierce kicked the ball, he suddenly felt a lot less pressure.
……
Drop drop-
The encrypted phone on Bruce's waist made a beep. He opened the screen with a puzzled look on his face and saw the message on it.
This is a group text message that has been encrypted by Hydra, and it is the highest level.
"Hydra's work still relies on texting?"
Katum flew to Bruce's shoulder, shook his head and said, "The process is still not systematic enough. Is it difficult to get an OA?"
"What are you talking about again?"
Bruce used the key to decrypt the text message, and the complete message was quickly revealed.
“Activate all Hydra agents.
"The highest mission -
"Kill Nick Fury and Tony Stark!"
Ok?
Bruce frowned deeply, he was a little confused.
There is no problem in killing Fury, but how did Stark offend Hydra?
Tony has made it to the top wanted list, which means he has achieved great success.
Dengdengdeng-
Wanda suddenly ran out of the room, holding up her phone, and said to Bruce excitedly, "Did you see the message?"
"I see." Bruce nodded.
"The day has finally come!"
Wanda almost couldn't control her tears. The day of revenge for her parents had finally come.
This time, Stark can't escape!
"You'll be on our side, right?"
After her excitement, Wanda stared at Bruce, waiting for his statement.
Ok……
Bruce smiled without hesitation: "Of course."
At the same time, he discussed with Katum in his mind.
"Should we notify Stark?"
"Not urgent."
Katum said, "With Hydra's limited military strength, it is nothing but a pipe dream to kill Stark with the blood-edged suit."
"That's all right, right?"
If Stark cannot die, this wanted warrant will only be effective against Nick Fury.
Then there's nothing to worry about.
"I have always stood firmly on your side and never wavered."
Bruce looked Wanda in the eye, "Now, let's go burn Stark Tower to ashes!"
……
Fury's car drove across the block and stopped at an intersection.
It was very quiet around and there were not many people around.
At this time, Fury was upset by Stark's betrayal and he couldn't understand why he would betray him.
And that manor had obviously been running for a long time.
Was Stark's betrayal an individual act, or has SHIELD been infiltrated?
Fury couldn't think of an answer for the time being.
At this time, a police car stopped beside his car. The two policemen in the car looked at Fury. Their eyes were blocked by sunglasses and they looked unfriendly.
The green light came on and the police car started to drive in front of him.
Fury drove into the intersection and was caught off guard when a car hit him from the side.
The car's airbags inflated as a second vehicle collided with Fury from behind.
The police car directly in front of it screeched as it backed up and crashed into the front of the car.
The violent impact made Fury see stars for a moment.
He was trapped...
Several black cars stopped around him, and armed men filed out, all pointing their guns at Fury's car.
They opened fire without hesitation, and bullets rained down on the car body and windows.
Fury's vehicle was armored and its windows were made of bulletproof glass, but even so, it could not withstand prolonged shooting.
The onboard computer prompts kept sounding.
"Propulsion system damaged."
"The integrity of the car window was damaged."
"Vertical flight system damaged."
"Communication array damaged."
This series of warnings was like a death warrant, making Fury upset and meaning that he could not do anything.
"Just tell me what system is still functioning!" he cursed.
“The air conditioning system is working fine.”
"Fuck you!"
