Superman in Marvel: Practicing Devouring Techniques, Unrivaled in the Universe

"There's one more thing besides that."

Without waiting for Tony to react.

Nick Fury interlaced his fingers, rested his elbows on his knees, and leaned forward.

"Your father was a hero, Tony. He did a lot for the world."

"And now, the world also needs your help."

"Are you going to be a hero like Howard, or are you going to continue to be a playboy and play the game of playing Iron Man?"

"It's time to make a decision."

After saying that, he patted his butt, stood up with difficulty, and limped out the door with Coulson.

"I believe you will make the right choice. When you make a decision, contact me."

"You'll know how to reach me, right?"

The Egghead used his usual cool and aloof approach, only speaking half of the words, not giving the other party any chance to ask questions, and disappeared mysteriously at the door.

Tony watched the two leave in silence.

"Does he think he's a lame Forrest Gump, trying to recruit people just by talking?"

He spread his hands toward the armor beside him.

“It’s just like what Leon said, this black-salted egg is just an idiot who loves to show off.”

"You're using my father's things to do favors. What a joke!"

Tony casually picked up the box on the table, but when his eyes touched the black shell, they were filled with nostalgia and solemnity.

"Then let's see what the old man is trying to tell me by hiding something."

He also remembered what Leon said, that everything Howard wanted to say to him was left in here.

……

Half an hour later.

Tony was strangely silent when he returned to the lab.

His silence was written all over his face, and every micro-expression was immersed in memories.

There wasn't anything surprising in the box Howard left behind.

Just some manuscripts, blueprints, and a few videotapes.

In the dusty video, the old man showed the conceptual model of the Stark Industrial Park, implying that it was a groundbreaking invention.

However, Tony had discovered the secret inside the display board with Leon's hint.

What really left him speechless for a long time.

In fact, it was Howard's heartfelt words at the end of the video.

——"Tony, you are the greatest of all the countless creations in my life."

This sentence made Tony stand in front of the test bench in a daze for a long time.

The Stark men seemed to be bad at expressing their emotions.

In Tony's impression.

Until the day they parted forever, Howard never said "I love you" to him or expressed his love for him.

So Tony was always rebellious.

His rebellious behavior and personality as a child was a way for him to get Howard's attention.

Until Howard died, this character really became a part of him.

But now this is a conversation that transcends time and space.

Suddenly he realized the love Howard had never revealed.

This means a lot to him.

After a long silence.

Tony called Leon.

"Hello? You're calling me in the middle of the day. Do you miss me? To be honest, I'm not used to not seeing your snotty face every day."

Leon started teasing as soon as he answered the phone, but he was definitely the most honest person in the Stark family.

"Missed you? Don't joke... Just a little at most, like a few crumbs of cheese." Leon's words made Tony smile.

“Don’t be like that. If you miss me, just tell me boldly. I won’t laugh at you.” Leon laughed.

"...Well, this is what I saw. I just looked at the things the old guy left behind." Tony changed the subject awkwardly.

"Nick Fury gave you the stuff? How does it feel?"

Tony hesitated: "There is a video, in which the old guy talked a lot, well, he didn't talk about you, because he recorded it a long time ago..."

"No need to explain. Your explanation makes it seem like I'm very sensitive. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"When do we take action against Hydra?" Tony took a deep breath.

After feeling emotions that he had never felt from Howard.

He could no longer suppress the urge to find his enemy.

“Don’t you know?” Leon’s words made the corner of his mouth twitch, “We have already started.”

"Really? Shit! Why didn't anyone tell me!?" Tony's eyes widened.

……

Hydra moves quickly.

Pierce led his S.H.I.E.L.D. men and opened up all the connections in one day.

At the Security Council meeting, representatives of various countries voted to agree that S.H.I.E.L.D. would be responsible for coordinating the overall situation and capturing or destroying all hidden forces of Hydra.

The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are ready to go.

The Hydra core members who were mixed in the crowd were in a daze.

In the eyes of ordinary agents, it is a fearless look of someone ready to fight to the death.

No matter they are newcomers or veterans, at this moment they couldn't help but be moved by these Hydra elites and felt that they were the role models of our generation.

Not just any ordinary agent.

Even representatives from various countries who came to watch the event couldn't help but nod their approval.

This situation made them want to sign and approve all action plans immediately.

Little did they know that when the fighting started, these people with their heads held high would immediately turn their guns around and kill all their colleagues around them.

Soon all of SHIELD's applications for deployment were approved.

Three aerospace carriers are ready to take off from the SHIELD base.

This time, Pierce spent all his family fortune just to put on a grand show.

And at a base in the suburbs of New York.

The real "good guy" Nick Fury was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

“Fuck you!” He circled the table and kicked the wall with his bandaged foot. “Those good-for-nothings in the Security Council, can’t they see that Pierce has bad intentions!!”

"Fury, you never thought there was anything wrong with him before, did you?" Hill reminded him, looking dashing and heroic in her combat uniform.

Nick Fury's dark complexion darkened even more: "I am a fool too! In Bogota, Colombia, Pierce deceived me with his rule-abiding face!"

In 1995, Nick Fury was just an ordinary deputy station chief of S.H.I.E.L.D. stationed in Bogota.

During a rebellion, on the issue of rescuing hostages.

Pierce, who was the diplomatic ambassador at the time, insisted on negotiations on the grounds that the lives of the hostages could not be taken lightly.

However, Fury took a risky move and launched a thunderous rescue operation regardless of orders, rescuing all the hostages.

Among them was even Pierce's daughter.

So Nick Fury could never have imagined it.

Pierce, the former director of SHIELD, with whom he had such a life-and-death friendship, would be a Hydra.

"Any news from Tony Stark?" He said with a serious face, "We need him!"

"I'm sorry, sir, there has been no news from him." Coulson spread his hands, "Could it be because we didn't leave any contact information?"

"What contact information! He has artificial intelligence, what contact information do he need!"

Nick Fury cursed again: "We can't just sit there and wait for death. Even without that playboy, we have to take action."

He looked at the SHIELD base captured by satellite.

"We have to sneak into the helicarrier and stop Hydra's conspiracy!"

He pounded his fist on the table. "Otherwise the world will end."
