My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 532 Does anyone want to go down before the fight starts?

"...The evidence investigation team found some fibers on the roof and asked us to take a look. Do you want me to notify the response team?"

"No, let's see what it is first."

The elevator going down suddenly stopped. There were few people riding the elevator together, but now three or four people walked in together.

Sensitively aware that the few special service members who came in with Rumlow were a little nervous, Steve couldn't help but frown secretly.

Immediately afterwards, the elevator stopped again, and several tall and strong administrative staff walked in.

"I'm sorry about Fury..."

Rumlow, who behaved most naturally, noticed Steve's caution. In order to dispel the latter's suspicion, Rumlow randomly found a topic.

However, this did not lower Steve's vigilance. On the contrary, a few nervous guys in the elevator were so nervous that sweat appeared on their brows, which completely exposed their purpose.

"You expect them to subdue Steve?"

Leni crossed her arms and looked at the surveillance video in front of her, with a meaningful smile on her face.

"I'm not disparaging Rumlow, I just want to subdue Steve. They alone are not enough."

Pierce narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and his gaze stayed on Leni's face for a moment.

"Rumlow is already the strongest combat force that I can use now. If so many people can't defeat him, then I'm afraid I can only place my hope on you."

Pierskin twitched the corners of his mouth with a smile, and then moved his eyes back to the holographic screen.

But he didn't expect his words to make Leni laugh.

"Me? Haha, then I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible."

Let yourself deal with Steve?

It's a joke, not to mention whether doing so will affect my plans.

Just talking about one-on-one combat, if you ask the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, the number of people who can truly defeat Steve one-on-one is probably only within a dozen.

What's more, Leni can vaguely feel that she may have become one of the targets of Steve's suspicion.

According to the current situation in which Captain America is besieged on all sides, anyone who takes the initiative to get close to him will most likely become the object of his suspicion.

Especially after Nick Fury's reminder, Steve may have begun to suspect that the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. has been completely corrupted by someone with ulterior motives.

If he were to run out to deal with Captain America at this time, wouldn't it be that Adou's empire was given away for nothing?

"Then you should stop saying some sarcastic words."

Pierce snorted coldly.

Helping and not helping, just waiting for me to feed the benefits into my mouth. If I didn't need this little fox in my next plan, would I let the latter go like this?

The perspective returned to the elevator, Steve took a deep breath, and then said the famous line.

"Before we take action, does anyone else want to go down?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the small elevator was stagnant for a moment, and then the tension rose to its peak in an instant.

Rarely had there been so many burly men gathered in the crowded elevator at this moment, and more than half of them were special service members of the rapid response team A.

Even a fool can guess that something is wrong at this moment, let alone Steve who has been wary for a long time?

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, there was no point in continuing to pretend. The vice-captain of Team A, who was standing in front of Steve, immediately pulled out a stun device with a terrifying electric arc from the side of his leg and turned towards Steve. His neck was stabbed straight away!

"Oh, Rollins is going to take the initiative?"

Staring unblinkingly at the live broadcast on the holographic screen, Leni's eyes flashed with excitement.

"It's a pity that people have already been prepared."

In the picture, Steve faced the enemy's frontal attack and retreated without hesitation. At the same time, he suddenly used his back to push against the special service team member behind him, forcing his planned sneak attack back.

"Step back to avoid the volley and disarm! Hey, Rollins, you didn't hold the stun device securely!"

Ignoring Pierce's darkened face, Leni simply took out a bucket of popcorn that had been prepared from the void warehouse, and started to talk about this "multiplayer game" of "men on top of men" with relish.

"Malfoy lock it! Lock it!"

"Yes! Put on electromagnetic handcuffs and a few more people! Can you three hold him down?"

"Good kick! Oh no, the guy in the suit next to him is Alion? Why is he so useless! Knocked down with just one elbow?"

At the beginning, Leni's focus was still on a few acquaintances who wanted to forcibly restrain Captain America, but after a strong counterattack by Captain America, Leni's composition immediately began to become complicated!

"Good kick! This kick hit the front door!"

"Hey! Now the bridge of Malfoy's nose is probably crooked."

"What a great opportunity! Hiss~ Why did Steve say hello to his face? We really won't see each other again~"

Pierce on the side heard this and said to himself, "Who are you from?"

However, as the saying goes, no funeral is too big for anyone who sees it, so Laini naturally pays attention to whatever is exciting.

Seeing Pierce staring at her, Leni "kindly" handed the popcorn bucket to Pierce's hand.

"Would you like some too?"

How could Pierce want it? He snorted and turned his gaze back.

"If you don't want it, just don't want it. Why are you humming..."

At this moment, Rumlow suddenly kicked Steve's arm, raising Captain America's arm high into the air.

The super strong electromagnet that was forcibly put on his wrist immediately took effect, and the latter's arm was forcibly attached to the steel frame of the elevator!

"Yo! Good job, Rumlow!"

Leni's eyes lit up immediately when she saw this, thinking that she really had to look at Rumlow at the critical moment.

Immediately afterwards, Rumlow also pulled out the electric shock baton. Taking advantage of the fact that Captain America's wrists were restrained and unable to dodge, he hit Captain America on the back one after another.

"Hey! Rumlow is taking advantage of others' danger!"

"Come on, Kane next to you! Your boss is already here, and you're still watching!"

For a moment, there was chaos in the elevator, and the offices of the Security Council members were also in chaos.

"Gift Crab! Garhart, you must have seen it right! How can you still hit one of your own with that electric shock baton!"

"It's over. I'm afraid An Bosi will be ruined for the rest of her life..."

After a short while, everyone who was still standing was knocked down. Steve suddenly stepped onto the glass wall of the elevator and used all his strength to forcefully pull the electromagnetic handcuffs on his wrists that were firmly attached to the steel frame. Come down!

At this time, apart from Captain America, the only person left standing in the elevator was Rumlow.

"Man, I have to make a statement..."

Rumlow was breathless and steady his breathing, staring closely at Steve, who still had some energy left.

"This is not a personal grudge!"

After the words fell, Rumlow suddenly swung the electric shock baton and attacked Steve again.

"Words are indeed a good way to divert attention, but..."

Leni smacked her lips, shook her head and sighed to herself that it was useless.

This is indeed the case. No matter how the electric shock device in Rumlow's hand shocks Captain America, Captain America, who has a strong physique, can still launch a strong and effective counterattack against Rumlow.

After just a few moves, Rumlow was hit by a throw from Captain America and hit the floor hard and passed out.

"It feels like this is a personal vendetta."

At this point, there are no more Hydra agents left standing in the elevator.

Witnessing everything that happened in the elevator with a livid face, Pierce was in an extremely miserable mood at the moment.

Although he had already expected that Rumlow and others alone would not be able to defeat Captain America, he never imagined that the process would be so vulnerable.

Coupled with Leni's chattering on the side, Pierce was on red-temperature alert at the moment.

"That's enough! Are you finished yet?"

After scolding Leni who was still planning to continue explaining, Pierce hammered the armrest of the sofa hard.

Upon seeing this, Leni immediately shut her mouth and gave the old guy some face.

There is no way, my plan still needs this old guy to pave the way for me, so it is not impossible to give him some face now. Taking a deep breath, Pierce glared hard at the woman who was not bothered by the excitement, and finally suppressed his anger.

He can't break up with Leni yet. The two parties are now grasshoppers on a rope. Only cooperation can achieve the greatest benefits.

Seeing Steve on the holographic screen holding a vibranium shield and crashing through the elevator and jumping from a height of dozens of meters, Pierce sighed helplessly.

"I still underestimated him."

After pondering for a moment, Pierce looked at Leni, who still had some unfinished thoughts.

"Follow what you thought before. I'll convince the Security Council and you can stabilize those agents."

Hearing this, Leni chuckled and then stood up from the sofa.

"This should have been the case a long time ago. The Insight Project is our main purpose now. As for Captain America, you can leave it to the Winter Soldier."

Looking deeply at the Quinjet taking off outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Pierce secretly clenched his fists and walked out of the office first.

……

"Attention everyone! Put down what you are doing, this is level one alert!

Contact the Department of Transportation to turn all traffic lights in this area to red and close all runways at Washington Airport, Dulles Airport, and Reagan International Airport...

I want you to capture any information about this person as soon as possible and report it to me, and all of it! "

In the S.H.I.E.L.D. combat command center, Sitwell took a tough stance and asked everyone present to issue a city-wide wanted order for Steve.

However, he did this without taking into account the importance of Captain America in the minds of other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Sharon Carter is one such S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

"With all due respect, if SHIELD orders a manhunt for Captain America, we need to know why."

"Because he lied to us."

Alexander Pierce's voice came, causing everyone to look in the direction of the door.

Pierce, dressed in a crisp suit, walked slowly from the door to the center of the crowd. Behind him was the only remaining backbone of SHIELD - Leni.

"Captain Rogers has important information about the cause of Nick Fury's death, but he refuses to provide it."

Sharon couldn't help but cast suspicious eyes on Leni, wanting to get answers from the other party.

But Leni just nodded at her.

"Fury's death was very strange. Steve, the only one who knew the key information, refused to provide clues and tried to use violence to escape the Security Council's questioning. We had to take this approach."

Pierce looked at Leni and motioned for her to say a few words as well.

"Steve and I are old friends, and I believe there is a reason why he avoided questioning. I am also very sad about Fury's death, and I can understand Steve's current mood.

But there are state laws and family rules. We cannot let Steve continue to act arbitrarily just because we trust Steve. This will only make things worse.

Therefore, I hope everyone can do their part to help find Steve. When he calms down, we can find out the real cause of Fury's death. "

Leni's eyes swept over everyone present, and she expressed her trust in Captain America righteously.

She did not choose to stand directly against Captain America like Pierce, but used a third-party attitude to persuade everyone present to give Captain America, who had gotten into trouble, another chance.

In other words, one person is a good person and the other is a bad person.

Pierce's current identity is a director of the Security Council. Even though he still has half of his foot on SHIELD's side, he is still more or less an outsider in the hearts of everyone.

Therefore, at this time, Leni, a person of her own, showed her value.

After understanding their superior's approach, the agents who were still hesitating just looked at each other and then returned to their respective posts.

"Then I'll leave this place to you, and I'll deal with the Security Council."

Seeing that the two of them had achieved their goal, Pierce narrowed his eyes and glanced at Leni, then left these words in a deep voice and left the command center.

It wasn't until Pierce's figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor that Leni put down her aura and rubbed her brows pretending to be sad.

"That's enough. One by one they are causing me trouble..."

Deliberately pretending to be easy to talk to in private in front of everyone, Leni pointed at Sitwell and said angrily:

"Please pay attention next time, Steve is not a wanted criminal by SHIELD."

Upon seeing this, Sitwell glanced at the others, smiled coquettishly, and walked to the water dispenser aside to get a glass of water for Leni.

The slightly relaxed look of the two people instantly swept away the tense atmosphere in the command center. The agents who had originally had doubts completely dropped their guard and concentrated on searching for traces of Captain America.

Only Sharon still had some concerns, but seeing everyone around her busy, she couldn't speak out to raise any questions for the time being.

However, her sheer hesitation to speak clearly could not escape Leni's eyes.

Helpless, Leni could only sigh and waved to Sharon, motioning for her to come to her.

"Sharon, come here."

Sharon was stunned for a moment when her name was called. Seeing other people turning their attention to her, she had no choice but to walk to Leni's side.

"Miss Leni."

"No need to be so polite. We are all old friends. Just call me Leni."

Leni motioned for the other person to come closer, and then patted Sharon on the shoulder reassuringly.

"I know what happened during this period has hit you hard, and I'm glad to see you get back on your feet. However, the work of SHIELD is not like other things. Sometimes we have to act impartially."

Do you want to act? Anyway, I want to continue to act like a good boss. Leni doesn't mind acting for a while longer.

"Huh? No, no, I can understand."

Unexpectedly, Leni would say this. Sharon almost couldn't follow Leni's thoughts for a while.

"It's okay, don't be so embarrassed. I know that you are actually a fan of Steve just like Coulson."

As Leni said this, she gave Sharon a subtle look.

"Colson just transferred himself to the Slingshot Base because he was dissatisfied with our decision, so I can understand your current mood."

With the corner of her eyes, she looked at the surrounding agents who were listening silently, and a fleeting smile appeared on the corner of Leni's mouth.

She said that on purpose. Otherwise, if such a big thing happened, why didn't Coulson, Nick Fury's confidant, show up?

Instead, it was Sitwell who stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation.

Leni believed that many people thought so at this moment, so she had to explain it clearly in front of everyone.

At least, she can't stand on the opposite side of these people until her plan is truly realized.

"If, I mean if, if you also feel that this approach is unacceptable, I can give you special permission to follow Coulson and temporarily hide at the Slingshot Base, and Skye and the others are also there. Save yourself all these troubles.”

After receiving the message from Leni's eyes, Sharon suddenly felt at ease, and quickly expressed her "loyalty" to Leni.

"It doesn't matter. I can understand that this is an inevitable situation. Someone has to stand up and be the villain."

Sharon put on an expression of emotion, like a graduated college student with no wealth.

"As long as you understand, our top priority right now is to stabilize the situation above and not to get into trouble. Without Fury, I'm under a lot of pressure."

Glancing at Sitwell who pretended not to hear anything, Leni narrowed her eyes and simply took a strong dose of medicine.

"And don't look at that bad old man Pierce's high-sounding look just now. He actually wants to take advantage of the opportunity to get involved. How can I let him succeed?"

The surrounding agents were shocked when they heard this. They secretly thought that they could hear this kind of gossip?

Then they figured out the key. Now that the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is vacant, Coulson, the best candidate, went to the Slingshot Base to avoid suspicion. The most powerful director candidate in the Bureau is not the only one left. Are Leni and Hill agents?

Although it is unkind to rush to compete for the position of director just after the death of the former director, it would be another matter if Pierce from the Security Council still wanted to get involved.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a cough interrupted everyone's thoughts, and it was Sitwell who couldn't bear to listen anymore and reminded Leni.

Upon seeing this, many people in the crowd turned their attention to Sitwell, thinking that this guy should be considered one of the candidates, although the support rate may be lower.

But seeing that he also looked resigned to Leni, everyone thought that this guy might have secretly surrendered to Leni a long time ago!
