Chapter 100
: The "Sins" Originating from Our Fathers
That day was a turning point in Felicia's fate, and a nightmare that she still haunts to this day.
With Kim threatening the lives of the mother and daughter, he had been away from home for many years, leading Felicia to mistakenly believe that he was the father who disliked the mother and daughter. It was only with a helpless sigh that he revealed the secret he had kept hidden all these years.
It turns out that in 1943, Walter Hardy... or rather John Hardysky, was just a thirteen-year-old boy who, due to his acrobatic training, agility, and photographic memory, was recruited by the US government. After training him for a period of time, he was sent to infiltrate a secret agency to gather intelligence on Nazi secrets.
It was because of this that John Hardysky, by a twist of fate, witnessed firsthand how Steve Rogers, this upright and courageous young man, transformed from a skinny and short man into a muscular super soldier.
Of course, John Hardysky at that time had no idea that he was witnessing the birth of a historic moment.
Taking advantage of everyone's intense focus on Steve Rogers' experiment, John Hardysky quietly infiltrated the site. As required by his mission, he meticulously wrote down the formula for the super-soldier serum, written on the blackboard, intended for presentation and demonstration to visiting political figures.
Until the mission was completed and they were ready to evacuate along the same route through the ventilation ducts.
Driven by childlike curiosity, John Hardysky glanced back and, by sheer coincidence, witnessed the astonishing transformation taking place in Steve Rogers. He watched as this "Nazi soldier," under the doctor's fervent gaze, walked towards the center of the laboratory, and, amidst the doctor's impassioned shouts, received the resounding title of "Captain America."
John Hardysky, looking completely bewildered, then realized that the mission he was undertaking, along with the "US government" that employed him, was far more complex than he had imagined.
After that, Hydra agents who infiltrated the site detonated the planted bomb, destroying the enhancement machines and the blackboard containing the formula. They then targeted and killed the doctor responsible for developing the super-soldier serum, before stealing the last remaining vial.
John Hardysky also took advantage of the chaos to quietly escape at this time.
Of course, having witnessed firsthand everything and realized that the "American government" employing him was the real Nazi, John Hardysky, like most young people of that era, with his strong sense of patriotism, did not return to report.
Instead, as the only person in the world who knows the complete formula for the Super Soldier Serum, he fled the city and lived a life of hiding and fleeing.
Until Little Mustache fell from power, marking the end of the world war and ushering in a period of peace.
John Hardysky was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, no longer living in constant fear, and return to the ordinary life he had longed for.
But soon, new problems arose.
John Hardysky's long years on the run made him suspicious due to his severe insecurity.
This resulted in John Hardysky being completely unable to adapt to ordinary life. He would constantly worry that those who approached him might be Nazi remnants in disguise, trying to steal the formula for the super-soldier serum from him.
So, after a difficult period, Walter Hardy finally decided to inject himself with the Super Soldier Serum.
So that after comprehensively enhancing his physical abilities, he could use the codename "Lingmao" (meaning "spirit cat") and embark on the legendary path of robbing the rich to help the poor.
And so, time flies, and the sun and moon revolve...
Unbeknownst to him, as time continued to advance, John Hardysky, thanks to the life-extending effects of the Super Soldier Serum, lived all the way to modern society and remained strong and healthy. By chance, he met a beautiful girl named Lydia.
And she was Felicia's mother.
And so, their acquaintances gradually blossomed into love, and finally, hand in hand, they walked down the aisle. Under the loving gaze of their parents, they welcomed their child.
In order to better spend time with his wife and daughters, John Hardysky chose to retire from his life as a lynx.
Thus, completely unaware of her father's true identity and his past experiences, Felicia spent a carefree and happy childhood with her parents.
Just when the whole family thought that this kind of life could go on forever...
The unexpected still happened.
John Hardysky...
Or rather, what most normal people would never imagine is...
With the defeat of the Axis powers, a large number of scientists who had served "Seele" and conducted numerous human experiments, committing countless crimes, did not receive the judgment they deserved for the many vengeful spirits and blood on their hands.
Instead, under the direction of profit-driven leaders, and under the ridiculous slogan of "science knows no borders," the homeland that Walter Hardy loved so much was absorbed into S.H.I.E.L.D.
They never received the retribution they deserved throughout their lives. They enjoyed their later years in peace, freed from the sins of the past, and lived happy and fulfilling lives.
Among them was Dr. Zola, a core member of Hydra and Red Skull's right-hand man.
Although their original intention was to use the wisdom of these scientists to further solidify their position as the world's hegemon.
Unexpectedly, this move backfired, allowing Zola to secretly seek opportunities and, in turn, leverage S.H.I.E.L.D.'s abundant resources and secrecy to gradually rebuild Hydra's strength!
This is why, in the modern timeline, S.H.I.E.L.D., which seems to be maintaining world peace, has actually become Hydra's lair, and is often jokingly referred to by Marvel fans as "Snake Shields".
Against this backdrop, and with the continuous improvement of technological levels...
John Hardysky, who once worked as a lynx, gradually attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. with his numerous thefts.
Following this lead, and after a covert investigation, SHIELD was able to confirm that John Hardysky definitely possessed the formula for the Super Soldier Serum!
Moreover, it's not the kind of shoddy imitation produced by extracting Captain America's blood and constantly trying to replicate its components.
It's the real, genuine Super Soldier Serum with the most perfect effects!
Just how outrageous is the difference between these two?
To put it another way, the super-soldier serum that Bronsky was injected with was a counterfeit of the aforementioned one.
So even after being injected with the super soldier serum twice, his performance was still not as good as Captain America's.
But what if it were Captain America?
Although it's highly likely that it still won't be a match for the Hulk.
But it is clearly able to fight it for a longer period of time.
It's not impossible that he could even fight the Hulk to a standstill for a short period of time!
He proved with his actions that the title of "Captain of the 50s and 50s" in the Marvel Universe is well-deserved!
Therefore, after learning this news, Snake.H.I.E.L.D., which was fantasizing about reviving the Axis Empire and unifying the world, could no longer sit still!
On the spot, Nick Fury was assigned to recruit John Hardysky under the high-sounding pretext of "maintaining world peace and creating a better tomorrow."
