Hydra: Surprise! Our old rival Captain America is still alive!

Chapter 82 Hydra: Surprise! Our old rival Captain America is still alive!

Of course.

Nick Fury knew Tony Stark's personality well.

He can be described as the most willful and unpredictable super-rich second-generation heir in all of New York and even the entire United States.

It's understandable that he might have some different hobbies compared to ordinary wealthy people.

Who knows, maybe this playboy secretly enjoys these supernatural and bizarre things?

No one can guarantee that this isn't true.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the Black Widow's theory that Tony Stark was also the owner of the diary is something that Lu Dan cannot refute.

Logically speaking, this reasoning is even smoother and more logical.

After all, no matter how individualistic Tony Stark is, or how different his quirks are.

They had just escaped from the cave, and then immediately obtained all the evidence against Stan. Wasn't it all a bit too fast and sudden?

Not only that.

Substituting this inference into the equation not only completes Tony Stark's logical chain but also fills in the gaps in the inaccurate predictions of the diary.

In other words.

A full and reasonable explanation has been found for the flaw in the diary's inaccurate predictions!

Therefore, taking all these factors into consideration, Nick Fury, the legendary braised egg maker, finally decided on his attitude towards the diary:

For now, we will assume that all the information revealed in the diary is true!

Even information that seems utterly absurd and contradicts Nick Fury's understanding:

For example, the fact that Hydra has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. to an extremely exaggerated degree.

Nick Fury would carefully analyze every piece of essential intelligence mentioned above, and even arrange corresponding action plans!

If that's the case, Nick Fury is in for a lot of work.

Because the diary contains a great deal of important information.

"Sir, what do you think?"

Black Widow's voice interrupted Nick Fury's thoughts. Natasha glanced at Lu Dan and asked.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Nick Fury nodded expressionlessly; no one, not even Black Widow, could see through his innermost thoughts.

"So, sir, what are you planning to do?"

Black Widow asked Nick Fury for his opinion again, paused, and then added specifically, "I mean, what measures should be taken against that Satan?"

"No, we won't do that for now."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

After some deliberation, Nick Fury made this decision.

After all, judging from the tone of the words in that diary, Satan clearly did not know that his diary had other "readers".

This means that although the person who wrote the diary is Satan, the person who gave the diary to him may not be Satan.

There is a strong possibility that it is someone else!

Even if Nick Fury wanted to take any action regarding the diary, he should have gone to the person who gave it to them, not the person who wrote it.

And it is precisely for this reason that Nick Fury is even less able to alarm Satan.

After all, if Satan knew that his diary had readers, would he still recklessly reveal those important secrets?

Not to mention.

Given Satan's abilities, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. really wanted to do something, they might not be able to!

So after weighing the overall situation, Nick Fury made the same decision as Black Widow and Tony Stark.

Let's maintain the status quo for now.

"I see."

Black Widow nodded and echoed her sentiment.

She knew exactly how her superiors treated the diary.

So Black Widow immediately made a request to Nick Fury.

"Sir, I would like to request permission to investigate the Red House!"

Black Widow spoke to Nick Fury in a very serious tone.

Previously, Black Widow didn't have enough evidence to prove the existence of the Red Room, so she couldn't speak to S.H.I.E.L.D., but now things are different.

Even their own superiors had become "one of us," sharing the diary.

Black Widow naturally had no more worries.

"No, Natasha, I'll leave the Red Room matter to Barton. I have other tasks for you."

Nick Fury made his decision after only a brief moment of thought.

He refused Black Widow on the spot and gave her another task.

"I need you to infiltrate Tony Stark's inner circle."

"Stark?"

Black Widow raised an eyebrow slightly, making a matter-of-fact guess, "You want me to confirm whether Stark really possesses the diary?"

"This is just one of the tasks."

Nick Fury did not deny this. "In addition, I need you to evaluate Stark. I will take your evaluation into account to make the final decision on the Avengers."

"Sir, I think the diary has already provided an assessment."

Black Widow shrugged. It was already clearly stated in the diary that Tony Stark would be an Avenger in the future.

Not just an Avenger, but one of the Big Three of the Avengers!

"I know what's written in the diary, Natasha."

Nick Fury, however, didn't seem to care.

Even if he decides to temporarily accept that the spoilers in the diary are true, he won't treat their contents as gospel.

For Lu Dan, that intelligence would only serve as an important reference, nothing more.

OK.

Having a deep understanding of her superiors, Black Widow didn't say much more. "Besides that, is there anything else I need to do?"

"You just need to do these two things well."

"It doesn't sound like it's very challenging."

Black Widow shrugged, grabbed her diary, and hurriedly left Lu Dan's office.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

No sooner had Black Widow left than Nick Fury, without any hesitation, called Coulson back over.

"Coulson, I'm giving you a top-secret mission."

"Next, I need you to lead a team to the Arctic Ocean."

Nick Fury went straight to the point and gave Coulson this order.

Arctic Ocean?

Coulson's brain started working at lightning speed. There didn't seem to be anything unusual to be found in the Arctic region.

It seems the superior has obtained some new intelligence.

Honest Coulson didn't ask any more questions, but simply stood up straight, adopting the posture of a good student.

Awaiting Nick Fury's instructions.

"According to reliable intelligence, your idol may not be dead, and is still lying peacefully in the Arctic Ocean."

"I want you to go and confirm this matter yourself."

Nick Fury's voice rang out again, and Coulson, sitting opposite him, could no longer remain calm.

It's no secret that Coulson idolizes Captain America; those who know Coulson well are aware of this.

So even though Nick Fury didn't mention the name "Captain America," Coulson immediately knew who Nick Fury was referring to.

That's why he was truly surprised.

"Sir, do you really believe that a person can lie at the bottom of the sea for seventy years and not die?"

Coulson couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Even though Coulson hoped it was true more than anyone else, and hoped his idol was still alive, his first reaction was that the news was somewhat absurd.

Even a super soldier couldn't be this abnormal, right?

Moreover, according to various data, although Captain America's physical abilities have reached the limits of human potential, they are not at an exaggerated level.

The idea of ​​not eating or drinking for seventy years seems increasingly unlikely.

That's why I'm asking you to go there yourself.

Nick Fury didn't explain further, but simply said something meaningful to Coulson.

"Understood, sir."

Coulson didn't say anything more and immediately agreed, "If the captain is really alive, I will bring him back."

"Very well, then let's get moving."

Nick Fury waved his hand, dismissing Coulson.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Coulson was about to turn around, Nick Fury added, "Pick some trustworthy people."

The diary says that S.H.I.E.L.D. is full of Hydra spies!

And for now, let's assume that braised eggs are real.

"I will, sir."

Coulson clearly didn't truly understand Nick Fury's meaning; he simply assumed that Nick Fury thought the mission was important, which was why he specifically mentioned it.

Who would have thought of so many things?

However, Nick Fury really couldn't explain this to Coulson in detail.

There's nothing we can do but let Coulson continue to be so "confused".

"Hill, I have a task for you."

Nick Fury's operation was not yet complete. After Coulson, he also called in Agent Hill.

They were also given a top-secret mission.

"Do you remember Anthony Vanko, the Soviet scientist who collaborated with Howard Stark on the Arc Reactor?"

Nick Fury looked at Hill with a profound and enigmatic gaze and asked.

"I remember, he later parted ways with Howard and was deported back to the Soviet Union. Why do you ask?"

After a brief explanation, Hill turned to Nick Fury and asked him a question.

"I have received secret intelligence that there is a high probability that Anthony Vanko has returned to America, and he may have a son named Ivan Vanko."

"That Ivan Vanko may possess the technology related to the Iron Man suit. I need you to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Nick Fury gave Agent Hill this order.

That's right.

Nick Fury has his eye on the Iron Man technology!

Of course, it wasn't just Nick Fury; after Tony Stark officially announced the Iron Man armor, countless people across America and even the world became interested in that technology.

Braised eggs are no exception.

However, considering the relationship between Tony Stark and Howard Stark, as well as the Playboy's complicated background, Lu Dan decided not to use any methods against Tony Stark.

But what if it were someone other than Tony Stark?

Especially one guy whose roots are in the Soviet Union!

Why be polite with braised eggs?

Not to mention.

The superhero era described in the diary as a "chaotic mess" was quite dangerous and chaotic.

Wouldn't my future self, or my self in another world, also secretly develop weapons because of this?

In this situation, Nick Fury has even more reason to master the Iron Man armor technology!

"Understood, sir!"

Agent Hill accepted the order and left.

that's it.

One order after another was issued by Nick Fury.

Lu Dan made numerous corresponding deployments and arrangements in response to the information revealed in the diary.

Some of these are about things that have already been proven or happened, so there's not much to say about them.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., it was impossible for him to ignore the situation; he had to take appropriate action.

However, Lu Dan actually had another idea in mind regarding those things that hadn't happened yet.

That is, to take the opportunity to verify the accuracy of the information in the diary again and again!

It's fair to say that Nick Fury spent almost the entire afternoon working on his diary.

We've basically done everything we could.

However, the most crucial piece of intelligence, which is also the one that gives Nick Fury the biggest headache, has left him somewhat helpless for the time being.

What intelligence?

That was naturally due to Hydra's infiltration.

Finding undercover agents like this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Moreover, according to the diary, Hydra has more undercover agents than S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

In this situation, it becomes even more difficult for Nick Fury to find the undercover agent.

They were even at a loss as to where to begin.

Because if what's in the diary is true, Nick Fury has no one else he can use!

Besides Coulson, who "sacrificed himself heroically," there are also Black Widow and Barton, two Avengers who are trusted and have been approved by the diary.

The other one is Hill.

He had always been one of Nick Fury's closest confidants, and Nick Fury temporarily considered him trustworthy.

So he assigned some important tasks to these people.

As for the others?

Lu Dan, who never trusted anyone to begin with, became even more cautious.

Rubbing his temples, Nick Fury made a decision for the time being.

The matter of Hydra infiltrating cannot be rushed; it requires careful planning.

After all, if there were really that many spies within S.H.I.E.L.D., any slight movement he made would alert them.

As it turns out, Nick Fury's decision was absolutely correct.

Because just a few days later, a large part of his arrangements and plans in the office were leaked.

The news reached Alexander Pierce's ears.

Fortunately, none of them were related to identifying undercover agents, otherwise it would have really aroused the suspicion of his old boss.

Even so, Nick Fury still attracted some attention from Pierce.

Some of the actions taken by the braised eggs surprised even Alexander Pierce.

"You mean, Nick Fury ordered Coulson to go to the Arctic Ocean to find Captain America because he believes Captain America is still alive?"

Inside the top-floor office of the Tri-wing building.

Alexander Pierce looked at the high-ranking Hydra agent in front of him and made a confirmation.

Indeed, Coulson followed Nick Fury's instructions and selected some trustworthy subordinates.

But Coulson could never have imagined that even so, he would still select a full half of Hydra's personnel!

Every move he made was observed by Alexander Pierce without the slightest error.
