The senior undercover agent across from Pierce couldn't help but look grim. He knew his superior had decided to kill.
The senior undercover agent naturally understood this.
Since Tony Stark knew so many of Hydra's secrets, he was a huge threat to Hydra and naturally had to be eliminated.
But how to eliminate him wasn't a simple matter.
Considering Tony Stark's enormous influence, leaving any loopholes in this matter would be a huge problem for Hydra.
Didn't Hydra disguise the assassination of Tony Stark's parents as a car accident?
It was because they were wary of Howard's immense influence.
And now?
Tony Stark, with his Destroyer Armor, had surpassed Howard Stark in influence!
Therefore, dealing with Tony Stark had to be handled carefully.
One wrong move, and even Hydra would suffer a massive backlash.
Of course.
For an Agent Boss like Alexander Pierce, who held significant power and was the king of spies, this was merely a bit troublesome, nothing more.
It wasn't a real problem.
In his long career, he'd dealt with far more difficult situations.
Tony Stark's situation wasn't really anything special.
After deciding to take out Tony Stark, Alexander Pierce began to seriously move forward with the plan.
And it had to be said, Alexander Pierce was indeed the real deal.
All the preliminary work, from gathering various relevant intelligence, formulating the assassination strategy, to laying the groundwork for various preparations, and so on…
All of it was completed in just two months.
"Sir, all preparations are complete and we can begin the operation at any time."
Top floor office of the Triskelion.
Hearing the report from the senior undercover agent in front of him, a satisfied smile couldn't help but appear on Alexander Pierce's face.
And then, a sharp glint appeared.
"Tony Stark, your time has come!"
"What are we waiting for?"
"Let our world prepare to lose a superhero!"
Alexander Pierce spoke meaningfully to the high-ranking undercover agent in front of him.
Tony Stark, of course, didn't know he was on Alexander Pierce's kill list, nor did he know that Pierce had already prepared a deadly trap just for him.
A trap filled with killing intent!
At this moment, the playboy was enjoying himself immensely.
He had just engaged in a deep, heart-to-heart exchange with another cover girl from Maxim magazine in his mansion.
They both entered each other's worlds, creating sparks filled with love.
Standing in front of the mirror, buttoning his shirt, Tony Stark subconsciously glanced at the alluring figure lying on the bed.
For some reason, the playboy suddenly felt a sense of guilt, a hesitation.
This kind of life, which used to be routine and basic for him, unexpectedly caused Tony Stark to feel a hint of panic and worry.
Even if it was just a hint, it was true; the playboy was indeed a little worried.
What if Pepper found out?
Of course.
Previously, Tony Stark had also played around quite a bit.
The number of women who had entered his mansion and slept in his bed was almost impossible to count, and the playboy never avoided Pepper Potts.
Even Pepper Potts had to clean up the mess after his wild nights.
But things were different now.
Before, he'd only considered Pepper Potts his assistant, nothing more.
He naturally didn't care much about her feelings.
But now?
The playboy and his assistant were in a highly ambiguous stage.
Although neither of them had explicitly crossed that line, they both knew, they both understood they were interested in each other.
Not to mention...
Tony Stark had long known that Pepper Potts would be his future wife, so this time he was truly prepared to start a relationship with her.
"This is the last one!"
"I promise!"
After retracting his gaze, Tony Stark couldn't help but secretly make this decision in his heart.
"Sir, there's an emergency in West Manhattan!"
"The Hulk has appeared!"
Before he could even button up his last button, Jarvis's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a corresponding image was projected in front of Tony Stark by Jarvis.
"Roar!"
In the video, on a bustling street, a green giant, like a wild beast, was roaring in fury, smashing everything around him.
"Aah! Aah! Aah!"
The scene was filled with screams.
The passersby were all scared out of their wits, fleeing in all directions.
They wished their parents had given them two more legs.
The scene was utter chaos.
"Hulk?"
"What's this guy doing popping up again?"
Tony Stark was slightly taken aback by this and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The Hulk had just fought Abomination a while back, causing a huge disturbance.
According to the playboy's understanding, the other party should have gone abroad.
How could he appear in the country again at this time? And in a place like Manhattan? But now was obviously not the time to think about these questions.
Since the Hulk appeared in Manhattan, then he, Tony Stark, naturally couldn't ignore it.
After all, Stark Tower was in Manhattan, and Manhattan was his Destroyer's turf!
Moreover, Tony Stark had been wearing the Iron Man armor for so long, he had long been accustomed to his superhero identity.
Even if the Hulk wasn't in Manhattan, the playboy wouldn't just stand by if he knew.
Through his diary, Tony Stark knew better than anyone just how terrifying the "Green Giant" truly was!
"Jarvis, what are you waiting for?"
Tony Stark didn't hesitate and immediately issued this command to Jarvis.
"Sir, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Based on the intelligence we have, you may not be able to resolve this crisis."
The considerate AI reminded the playboy in a timely manner.
"Jarvis, you know my style, act first, think later!"
"As you wish, sir!"
Jarvis didn't waste any time.
He immediately started controlling the mechanical arms to suit Tony Stark up.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In a matter of seconds.
The cool, metallic suit was on Tony Stark, and the Destroyer Armor was ready.
Whoosh!
The next moment.
The Destroyer Armor shot into the sky, spewing brilliant and dazzling flames, and quickly flew towards the scene.
"Sir, Nick Fury is calling."
Just as he left the luxurious villa, Jarvis gave the reminder.
"Put him through."
Even with his limited intellect, the playboy could guess why Nick Fury was contacting him, so he immediately issued the following command to Jarvis.
"Stark, did you see the news?"
Sure enough, Nick Fury's extremely serious voice immediately came through the earpiece.
"I know, I'm already on my way."
Tony Stark immediately gave an affirmative answer.
Upon hearing this, the bald-headed man on the other end immediately felt slightly relieved.
The reason it was only "slightly" was because Nick Fury already knew from the notebook just how ridiculously powerful the "Green Giant" was.
That was a super freak who could beat up gods! Although the Destroyer Armor was indeed a cheat in the current society, facing a freak of that level, Nick Fury really didn't dare to have too much confidence.
So, to be on the safe side, Nick Fury, after some thought, dialed another number.
???
Zhou Cheng, who was lying on the sofa in a comfortable position watching an American drama, immediately found that he had a call from an unfamiliar number.
Zhou Cheng was enjoying the drama, so he didn't pay any attention to the unfamiliar call and just hung up.
But who would have thought that as soon as he hung up, a message came: "I am Nick Fury!"
The Egghead?
Zhou Cheng was slightly surprised.
Why would the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. call him? Was it for the Avengers again?
But he had clearly refused Nick Fury!
So, what kind of mission did Nick Fury actually have?
Quickly sorting through his thoughts, Zhou Cheng made a preliminary judgment of the current situation.
When that unfamiliar number called again, he chose to answer.
Sure enough.
A voice that he found very familiar sounded from the earpiece.
"Satan, this is Nick Fury. I now have an urgent mission for you."
Urgent mission?
Zhou Cheng's eyes couldn't help but brighten slightly.
Nick Fury had even told him the mission's urgency. Was this giving him a chance to make an exorbitant offer?
They're all coming to me, and still with this attitude. It seems like the Agent Boss really has run into something urgent.
"Tell me about it!"
While inwardly grumbling, Zhou Cheng didn't delay the matter at hand. He asked Nick Fury, curious.
"Hulk suddenly appeared in Manhattan, and Stark is rushing over to deal with it, but I'm worried Stark might not be able to handle it."
"So, I need a backup plan."
Nick Fury concisely informed Zhou Cheng of what had happened.
Hulk?
The Green Giant really can't stay quiet!
Zhou Cheng sighed inwardly, then began to consider the matter.
With all his advantages and methods now, could he handle the Hulk?
It seemed...possible to try!
And soon, Zhou Cheng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Because in the long time he'd had the diary, he'd also obtained a very interesting item:
A Memory Eraser, from the Men in Black film series.
This thing, when used, could directly blank out the target's mind.
Then, if someone were to verbally impart the memories to be implanted at that moment...
The target's brain would automatically fill in the blanks.
Thus achieving the erasure and filling of related memories.
Judging from the effects shown in the movie, the Memory Eraser's effectiveness was quite amazing.
It's not just about erasing memories; it can even change a person's habits.
Zhou Cheng was actually very curious. Could this thing work on the Hulk?
Theoretically, at least.
If the Hulk's brain could be blanked, or if he could just get some sleep, wouldn't he stop being angry?
Then, would Bruce Banner's personality come back online?
Zhou Cheng thought it was quite feasible.
"Prepare ten million dollars!"
After some thought, Zhou Cheng had a plan.
He stopped wasting time and quoted Nick Fury a very "sincere" price.
Who told him things were really urgent?
"Price is no object!"
"If Stark stops the Hulk, then everything's fine."
"If Stark can't stop the Hulk, Satan, I hope you live up to the ten million quote!"
"We'll see."
After ending the call with Nick Fury, Zhou Cheng prepared his Satan uniform, Captain Jack's compass, a memory eraser, and other related items, then hurried out the door.
Indeed.
If he really fought the Hulk this time, Zhou Cheng would definitely attract a lot of attention.
But for Zhou Cheng, that wasn't a big deal.
Anyway, his identity had already been exposed to S.H.I.E.L.D., right?
Since it was already exposed, Zhou Cheng didn't mind exposing a little more.
Moreover...
He still had the Memory Eraser in his hand. If he really encountered some very tricky trouble, he could just erase the memories of the relevant people.
Everything was not a problem!
And compared to Zhou Cheng's high spirits, Tony Stark at this moment wasn't so carefree.
Roar! Boom boom boom!
When the playboy flew to the scene in his Iron Man armor...
Hulk was standing in front of a car, roaring and swinging his fists, hammering away relentlessly.
After a few hits, he smashed the car into a pancake of metal.
Fortunately, there was no one in the car, otherwise, a death reality show even more terrifying than a horror movie would have been staged.
"Hey, big guy, you need to cool down!"
Tony Stark landed in front of the Hulk with an incredibly domineering pose, shouting at him in a swaggering tone.
The Hulk, who was venting his anger, was immediately attracted by Tony Stark.
He immediately abandoned the car in front of him, which had been smashed into an iron pancake, and turned to face the hunk of metal.
"Roar!"
He roared at Tony Stark.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
And then, the Hulk didn't waste any words.
He began charging towards Tony Stark with the overwhelming momentum of a small mountain.
"You really think I'm afraid of you?"
Seeing this, Tony Stark shot into the air, flying towards the Hulk.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Hulk, swinging his iron fist and slamming it towards him.
BANG!
But he didn't even touch the Hulk. The Hulk struck first, punching the Iron Man's armor.
With a clear clang of metal, Iron Man was sent flying backwards like a cannonball.
