Those Ruthless People Who Slaughtered the Avengers

Chapter 89 Those Ruthless People Who Slaughtered the Avengers

Speaking of Black Widow giving Stark an injection, it suddenly reminded me of a universe where Black Widow killed Stark with a single injection.

[Haha, although it's not what I meant before, Stark could be considered to have died from palladium poisoning, right?]

[All I can say is that the Ant-Man from that universe was truly something else; he single-handedly wiped out the entire Avengers!]

[This is something even the purple sweet potato essence couldn't do!]

Although the Purple Potato Demon killed off most of the Avengers, leaving them in a terrible state, at least the Big Three of the Avengers are still alive.

Unlike Ant-Man, they wiped out the entire force, leaving only Lu Dan as a lone commander.

Although it was only the early stages of the Avengers, this record is already quite impressive.

Did you kill yourself with a single injection?

Tony Stark couldn't help but click his tongue in disbelief. Was he saving someone or killing them?

That version of myself in that universe must have been far too tragic, right?

But how exactly did my version of myself in that universe die?

Tony Stark certainly didn't believe that Black Widow's death was due to a simple mistake—that she accidentally punctured her own artery because of a shaky hand.

They are top-tier agents, after all; they wouldn't make such an absurd mistake.

In other words, there shouldn't have been any problems with Black Widow's entire injection.

So the most likely explanation is that medicine!

Either the serum developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. is faulty, or someone has replaced or tampered with the serum.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is an international intelligence organization, Tony Stark felt that neither of these possibilities was very likely.

When Tony Stark saw the diary entry mentioning that Ant-Man had wiped out the Avengers, he began to ponder.

Why did it say earlier that Black Widow killed herself with a needle, but then immediately contradicted that and said Ant-Man killed all the Avengers?

If the statement "kill all the Avengers" is a general statement and does not include Stark, who was killed by Black Widow, then...

The diary later emphasizes that Ant-Man also killed the Big Three!

That's right, although Black Widow stabbed Stark to death, the real killer was Ant-Man!

Therefore, the obvious conclusion is that the reason Black Widow stabbed Stark was because Ant-Man was behind it!

The other party did indeed use some means to successfully tamper with the medicine.

"Ant-Man?"

"Who is this person?"

Tony Stark could be said to have remembered this name very well.

Although Ant-Man's massacre of the Avengers happened in another universe, it still demonstrates Ant-Man's immense power.

In addition, the power of purple sweet potato extract was also displayed even more vividly.

Playboy always knew that the Purple Potato Spirit was very strong and had fought against many superheroes, but he never expected that the opponent would actually kill most of the Avengers!

It seems I was right before; this purple sweet potato spirit is definitely a big boss.

"Ant-Man?"

A thought suddenly struck Lu Dan, who was standing in front of another diary.

Tony Stark didn't know who Ant-Man was, but Nick Fury, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., certainly couldn't not know.

Ant-Man was once a top talent within S.H.I.E.L.D.!

However, he left S.H.I.E.L.D. a long time ago and transformed himself into a famous entrepreneur by founding Pym Technologies.

Besides, he is also very old, so old that his hair is all white and he has completely become an old man.

Even so, Nick Fury did not dare to underestimate his opponent.

There's no other reason than that Ant-Man's equipment is truly impossible to defend against!

Even Hank Pym doesn't need to wear the suit himself; anyone who wears it can unleash Ant-Man's power.

The suit is what matters, not the person!

Although Lu Dan didn't know why Ant-Man in another universe wanted to slaughter the Avengers, there was one thing Lu Dan had secretly decided.

S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to pay even closer attention to these potential threats!

Having made up his mind, Nick Fury once again placed his one eye on the diary, waiting for the diary to be "updated".

But once again, the diary abruptly ended without any warning.

After waiting for a while without any further movement, Nick Fury had no choice but to turn his attention back to his diary.

The first thing Nick Fury did after that was to log into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal systems and conduct a search.

What are you looking for?

Naturally, the next step was to check the diary for the Hydra agents revealed in the plot.

The first one is that "glasses-wearing" "bald guy," who is the guy Lu Dan can immediately start investigating.

clap clap clap!

With a few rapid taps on the keyboard, I set the search criteria and then pressed the start button.

Drop drop!

Accompanied by these rhythmic electronic prompts, relevant personnel files began to flash rapidly on the computer screen in front of them.

This process lasted for about a few seconds, and then the image on the computer screen suddenly froze.

Twelve bald men wearing glasses appeared before Nick Fury.

The guy who leaked Project Insight in Captain America 2 was also among them.

"Who are you guys?"

Nick Fury glanced at the "candidates" in front of him with his one eye, his gaze becoming increasingly sharp and profound.

There were only twelve people, which was easy for Nick Fury to investigate.

The only problem is that this matter must be handled with extreme care!

After all, the diary clearly states that the Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. have reached a point of utter depravity.

If my investigation alerts the enemy, it will cause a lot of trouble.

In other words, this investigation must be conducted by people who are absolutely trustworthy.

Fortunately, although the condition of "absolutely trustworthy" was a bit too harsh, after the diary's "certification", there were still a few candidates in front of Ludan.

Coulson, Hawkeye Barton, and Black Widow.

As for Agent Hill?

While Nick Fury's level of trust is high, it's only because he trusts him more than other agents.

If you only look at Agent Hill, Lu Dan isn't entirely trusting him either, and he maintains a certain level of vigilance.

He never trusts anyone; that's just Lu Dan's consistent nature.

Therefore, for this extremely difficult task, Nick Fury immediately ruled out Agent Hill and only intended to choose from Coulson and his two companions.

Considering that Black Widow and Patton both have missions at the moment, while Coulson has just finished a mission in the Arctic Ocean.

So it makes perfect sense who should handle this matter.

"Coulson!"

Nick Fury immediately called Coulson over again and slapped the files of the twelve people in front of him.

"I'm giving you a top-secret mission. One of these twelve people is a high-ranking spy from another agency."

"I need you to find out who this person is as quickly as possible."

"Also, I want you to investigate this matter on your own. Don't use any of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources."

Unlike when Coulson was tasked with choosing trustworthy individuals to search for Captain America, this time, to investigate the Hydra spy, Lu Dan only allowed Coulson to act alone.

In this way, there is no possibility of leakage.

"Sir, are you implying that there are other undercover agents within S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Coulson wasn't stupid; he naturally sensed something was amiss, so he immediately asked Nick Fury the question that had been on his mind.

"I neither confirm nor deny this."

Just like when Coulson asked himself how he went blind, Nick Fury gave an answer that was essentially no answer at all.

Coulson understood that it was not his place to ask questions, so he didn't.

"But if that's the case, sir, you'll need to approve more funding."

Coulson said to Coulson in a very serious tone.

Since he couldn't use S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources, Coulson had to use resources outside of S.H.I.E.L.D.

It has to be the top-notch, most awesome team.

After all, we're investigating S.H.I.E.L.D., so we can't alert them.

That will cost a lot of money!

"I see."

"You don't need to worry about funding, I just want results."

"Understood, sir!"

Coulson left in a flurry.

After Coulson left, Nick Fury began investigating another important Hydra figure.

Baron Strucker.

clap clap clap!

After typing a few keystrokes on the keyboard.

A middle-aged man with a buzz cut and a somewhat refined air appeared before Nick Fury.

With the name already given, and a baron at that, Nick Fury easily found the man.

"So you're actually Hydra?"

Nick Fury's expression grew increasingly serious as he glanced at Baron Strucker's file.

This Baron Strucker is no ordinary man; his status and position should not be underestimated!

In addition, that senator was also a person of high rank and power.

So, has Hydra's infiltration into society reached such an alarming level?

Lu Dan no longer intended to hand over the investigation of Baron Strucker to Coulson, nor to Barton or Black Widow.

After some deliberation, he dialed several extremely secretive numbers that he rarely dialed.

That's right.

Lu Dan also began to personally utilize resources outside of S.H.I.E.L.D. to conduct relevant investigations.

As for that Hydra senator?

That's the most troublesome part.

You have to be extremely careful around these bigwigs in the political world.

We must not leave even the slightest flaw, and we must not arouse even the slightest suspicion from the other party.

Otherwise, it will cause great trouble.

However, this requires careful consideration.

Of course, before that, braised eggs have another thing to do.

That means we'll find that guy first when the hearing is held tomorrow!

Meanwhile.

Lu Dan wasn't the only one paying close attention to this hearing.

There are also two other owners of the diaries, as well as Zhou Cheng.

Tony Stark needs no introduction; he was involved himself.

Of course, if it were in the beginning, even the Playboy himself wouldn't have taken this hearing seriously.

What about the hearing?

In front of Tony, it's just a show.

But now...

Knowing that his parents died at the hands of Hydra, and that Hydra members were after his armor at the hearing, Playboy was naturally not going to remain indifferent.

Following the latest spoilers in his diary, Tony Stark has one more thing to do at the hearing, in addition to protecting his armor.

Find that Hydra senator!

This is the key.

The same applies to Black Widow.

Even the other side's sole "motivation" for paying attention to this hearing was to find out the identity of that Hydra senator.

So what about Zhou Cheng?

He already knew who that Hydra senator was, and even if he didn't, he didn't care at all, since Hydra's affairs had nothing to do with him anyway.

Zhou Cheng was simply watching the show and observing!

Tony Stark's dramatic performance at the hearing, including his outburst at a senator, is sure to be a spectacular show that shouldn't be missed.

that's it.

Under the scrutiny of all parties.

At nine o'clock the following day, Tony Stark and his personal assistant Pepper appeared at the hearing on time.

They took their seats in the relevant places.

Looking around, the venue was already filled with bigwigs from all over the military and political circles.

Whether it was the committee members on the stage or the audience members listening in.

Without exception, they were all prominent figures.

This kind of scene is something that not just anyone could handle.

But for the cool and edgy Tony?

It was child's play; they didn't take it seriously at all.

Even after the hearing officially began, he kept turning around and teasing his assistant, displaying an arrogance that was beyond ordinary.

It wasn't until Senator Stern unleashed his full power, launching a deadly attack on Tony Stark and attempting to strip him of his armor, that the playboy turned his back.

He glanced up at Congressman Stern, remaining outwardly calm, but inwardly he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

You fat pig, are you the Hydra senator mentioned in the diary?

Since that's the case, then don't blame Big Tony for showing no mercy!

"Destroyer weapon? No, my device doesn't fit that description."

"I would define it as a high-tech prosthetic limb."

"I am the Destroyer, I am one with the Destroyer. To hand over the Destroyer is to hand over myself, which is to sell myself or my money."

"I am your nuclear deterrent. You're welcome. It's very effective. We've succeeded. America is safe."

"I did you a favor; I successfully made the world peaceful and civilian! What more could you want!"

Whoosh!

As Playboy put on a spectacular show at the hearing, all the members of the public gallery stood up and applauded enthusiastically for him.

The entire hearing was lively and jubilant, resembling a personal talk show by Tony Stark.

"Fuck you, Stark!"

"Fuck you!"

Senator Stern, feeling slapped hard in the face, couldn't help but angrily curse out loud.
