My parents were actually killed by Captain America's best friend!

Chapter 100 My parents were actually killed by Captain America's best friend!

Since that good-for-nothing Stern suffered a crushing defeat at the hearing, Pierce still values ​​the whiplash technique very much.

They had already made the necessary preparations and arrangements, just waiting to get the relevant technology from Ivan Vanko before launching a major offensive!

To give powerful wings to Hydra, this giant dragon hiding in the shadows!

Everything was proceeding smoothly, with Pierce's undercover agent monitoring Ivan Vanko from beginning to end, and no problems arose.

But who could have imagined it?

After capturing Ivan Vanko, Nick Fury suddenly used a secret force to isolate him.

Even with the vast resources Pierce controlled within S.H.I.E.L.D., he couldn't find Ivan Vanko's whereabouts at all!

So that's correct.

Pierce now has no idea how much technology he got from Ivan Vanko, or even where Vanko is being held.

Given Hydra's current level of infiltration into S.H.I.E.L.D., there is only one reason for this situation:

Nick Fury didn't use any of the usual S.H.I.E.L.D. resources.

Instead, it used its own private resources.

That's why not a single word of it leaks out.

There's nothing to agonize over. The only question is, why did Nick Fury do that?

Just because he learned from Stern that Hydra still existed and that S.H.I.E.L.D. had some Hydra spies?

Even so, is it really necessary to completely avoid using the power of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

No matter how you look at it, this reaction seems a bit excessive.

Even considering Nick Fury's suspicious nature, this still seemed a bit excessive.

Unless, Nick Fury has already realized that Hydra's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. goes beyond the usual infiltration by other intelligence agencies.

It has reached an abnormal level of penetration!

So, is that really the case?

Did Nick Fury really learn more about Hydra's secrets from Stern?

The reason why there haven't been any major moves all this time, and only some minor skirmishes, is that they're just putting on a show?

Is he putting on a show for himself and for the other Hydra agents that Nick Fury believes exist?

To lull everyone into a false sense of security?

Alexander Pierce could not know a definite answer.

Regardless, this matter has already raised Pierce's serious concerns.

If this is just Nick Fury being overly cautious, then it's not so bad.

But if Nick Fury really does realize something, then Pierce will really have to take some action.

"Yes, sir."

The Hydra senior undercover agent opposite Pierce spoke up, "Besides that hammer, Nick Fury also ordered Coulson to monitor two other people."

Snapped!

As they spoke, the other person placed the files of Jane Foster and Daisy in front of Pierce.

Pierce glanced at it briefly.

One was an astrophysicist, and the other was his assistant.

Both of them have made significant achievements in their professional fields, but that's about it.

Pierce, in any case, didn't see anything about the two that Nick Fury should pay attention to.

Of course, Pierce understood that too.

Since Nick Fury has sent people to keep an eye on these two, they must be no ordinary people.

"Nick must have a reason for keeping them under constant surveillance."

Pierce gave this order to the high-ranking undercover agent in front of him.

"clear!"

The other party immediately responded.

"Also, find out as quickly as possible where Nick is hiding Ivan Vanko."

"The technology of the arc reactor is also very important to us."

"Also, Rogers' blood sample needs to be analyzed as soon as possible. I will allocate all available resources to support this!"

After a pause, Pierce issued a series of important orders.

"Understood, sir!"

"Also, keep an eye on Nick Fury secretly. I need to know how much he knows about Hydra."

Just as the high-ranking undercover agent was about to leave, Pierce added one more sentence in a very serious tone.

that's it.

A new round of covert confrontations began between the two intelligence chiefs, Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury.

For Alexander Pierce

His goal was to find out where Ivan Vanko was as quickly as possible without alerting Nick Fury, while also probing into Nick Fury's background.

Let's see just how many Hydra secrets they know.

As for Lu Dan, his biggest concern is how to safely control Ivan Vanko's technology while blocking Hydra!

At the same time, we should try our best not to alert the enemy.

The goals of these two individuals were diametrically opposed from the outset.

Therefore, the confrontation between the two appeared to be silent on the surface, but in reality, it was a battleground of undercurrents.

If it were made into a spy drama, it would definitely be very exciting.

However, both Pierce and Nick Fury were sufficiently restrained and cautious.

So this silent confrontation lasted for a month and a half, and basically remained in a stalemate.

Although Pierce did not find out exactly where Ivan Vanko was, he did have some definite clues.

Given more time, Pierce believed he could acquire Ivan Vanko's technology quietly.

And what about Nick Fury?

Although Lu Dan had successfully acquired the whip rope technology and even secretly sought out scientists for further improvements and development, he dared not actually begin to form a whip rope special operations team.

Because during that month and a half, Nick Fury had already keenly sensed that a hidden force was watching him!

Although the other party was very careful and did not reveal any flaws or clues, it would have been difficult for an ordinary agent to detect.

Who is Ke Lu Dan?

The King of Spies!

In addition, having already known about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s infiltration, they had already raised their vigilance to the maximum.

It is naturally possible to capture something.

It seems the diary was absolutely right; Hydra's infiltration has indeed reached a shocking level.

It's almost certain that it's braised eggs.

There are probably some of the top agents in S.H.I.E.L.D., those level eight or nine agents, who are also Hydra moles!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to possess such enormous power.

"Nick has indeed realized something!"

Alexander Pierce was increasingly convinced of this as well.

After all, this old guy, like Nick Fury, is a king of spies.

No matter how well Nick Fury disguises himself, it's impossible for him not to reveal even the slightest flaw.

It can be said that after this exchange, Pierce and Nick Fury have gained a deeper "understanding" of each other.

This exchange can be considered a draw between Pierce and Nick Fury from a distance.

There was no real winner or loser.

However, on another battlefield, it must be said that braised eggs made a remarkable comeback.

Stark's luxurious villa.

Tony Stark and Black Widow stood side by side.

Both of them stared wide-eyed at the digital projection in front of them.

Drop drop!

Before their eyes, a dazzling array of code and data, incomprehensible to others, flashed rapidly.

After this process lasted for thirty or forty seconds, a completely new interface suddenly popped up.

All the original code and data disappeared, but some related information and materials appeared.

Tony Stark and Black Widow were both invigorated.

"Sir, the crack was successful!"

Jarvis's notification tone also sounded at the same time.

Swish swish!

Under Jarvis's control.

The massive amount of information and data was showered upon Tony Stark and Black Widow like a shower of flowers.

Looking around, they are everywhere, densely packed.

"You succeeded."

"It seems that the commander's decision to cooperate with you was the right one."

Black Widow glanced at the data and information around her and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Of course."

Tony Stark had no idea what humility was and took Black Widow's praise for granted.

"Jarvis, filter out the information about the Winter Soldier."

Swish swish!

With Playboy's order, Jarvis quickly hid the massive amount of intelligence data.

Only some key information about the Winter Soldier remains.

That's right, the Winter Soldier's investigation has made a breakthrough.

Given that the Winter Soldier didn't leave many traces, Nick Fury and Tony Stark's investigations, conducted separately, were not particularly efficient.

But when the two officially joined forces, it meant that the strongest intelligence gathering and the strongest technological means were combined, and the effect of one plus one was greater than two.

During this period of one and a half months.

The two sides truly achieved mutual support in intelligence and operations, and progress was very rapid.

And ultimately, significant results were achieved.

drop!

With a gentle tap on the digital projection, the top-secret document on it was opened.

Tony Stark and Black Widow quickly began browsing.

One by one, their expressions turned extremely solemn.

"So the Winter Soldier really is Bucky Barnes of the Howling Commandos!"

"He miraculously survived the train crash that fell into the snow-covered mountains, but instead fell into the hands of Hydra, where he was transformed into a super soldier!"

It has to be said that this news is truly a bombshell.

Even a seasoned agent like Black Widow couldn't help but show surprise.

"It really is you, Bucky Barnes!"

Tony Stark stared intently at the documents in front of him, his voice unconsciously carrying a hint of murderous intent.

When I saw that Captain America from 70 years ago was still alive, I once boldly speculated that the Winter Soldier might be Bucky Barnes.

After all, the two look exactly alike.

Even so, when the matter was finally investigated, Tony Stark was still caught off guard.

The Winter Soldier is actually Bucky Barnes!

However, Tony Stark's face quickly revealed an unwavering, cold, and sharp expression.

So what about Bucky Barnes?

The playboy wouldn't bother with any of this.

This person killed his parents, so he must die!

"Stark, what are you thinking?"

Black Widow's senses were still very sharp; she noticed the Playboy's emotional change and gave him a meaningful look.

"I'm thinking about what to have for dinner. It's a real headache, isn't it?"

Tony Stark's offhand remark was clearly just a way to appease Black Widow.

Black Widow was aware of this, but she didn't say anything more.

She simply offered a meaningful reminder to the playboy: "This is a troublesome problem that you should really think about, don't you think?"

"I've already made up my mind."

Tony Stark responded in a similarly meaningful way.

"Give me a copy of the data; I need to take it back to S.H.I.E.L.D."

Black Widow didn't continue on that topic, but instead spoke seriously to Tony Stark.

Jarvis.

"It's done, sir!"

Jarvis quickly copied all the relevant information onto a hard drive, which Tony Stark then handed to Black Widow.

Black Widow had nothing to say, and after taking the hard drive, she quickly left Playboy's place.

They rushed back to S.H.I.E.L.D. as quickly as possible.

"Jarvis, have you cracked the IP address?"

After Black Widow left, Tony Stark seemed like a completely different person, exuding a chilling aura.

The voice sounded even colder.

"Sir, the crack is complete."

Swish!

A corresponding map coordinate was then projected in front of Tony Stark.

The playboy glanced at it expressionlessly and immediately gave Jarvis an order.

"Get the Destroyer Armor ready."

"As you wish, sir!"

Click click click!

Click click click!

One after another, mechanical arms began to extend rapidly, operating around Tony Stark.

In just a few short moments, Tony Stark was completely encased in a thick iron shell.

The Destroyer is now available.

"Jarvis, what are you waiting for?"

Whoosh!

The cool Destroyer armor flew out of the luxury villa and disappeared into the vast sky.

With that clear goal, it flew and flew in the southeast direction.

They quickly covered a distance of nineteen kilometers and ventured deep into a forest.

"Sir, there's a secret base ahead, and its coordinates match ours perfectly!"

After venturing into the forest for about seven or eight kilometers, Jarvis discovered a very well-hidden base.

That's right.

It's the secret base of Hydra that freezes the Winter Soldier.

"Full speed ahead!"

Playboy was immediately invigorated and gave Jarvis such an order.

The Destroyer armor left a long trail of flames in the air, rampaging through the air with unparalleled dominance.

Finally, it crashed outside the base in an extremely cool way.

"Iron Man!"

"No, it's the Destroyer!"

"Why is he here!"

The Hydra agents on guard outside the base were alerted immediately.

Their expressions changed instantly, and they immediately charged at Iron Man with their weapons.
