He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 277 To Kill or Not to Kill? (Second Update)

"It's so lively today, even the old popsicle came!"

Tony looked surprised when he saw Captain America appear.

After several joint operations against Hydra, he had come to know Steve, the hero his father had once described.

He's a stubborn, old-fashioned guy, but he's also someone you can really admire.

However, this guy probably prefers punching his bag at his hut to coming over for a barbecue and camping trip with them.

"And what's this guy doing here too?"

Then he saw Bucky, the Winter Soldier, following behind Captain America, with a guilty look on his face and his head down.

In his memory, Bucky was still Hydra's number one assassin. He had caused them a lot of trouble when they destroyed the Hydra base some time ago. In the end, he was only captured after being stunned by lightning summoned by Thor.

"Tony. It's me."

Steve, unusually, started to stammer.

He was about to explain when Li Chuan interrupted him directly:

"Let's sit down and have some barbecue first, and we can talk more after the camping trip!"

If this gets out now, the atmosphere of the camping and barbecue will be ruined, and it might even lead to a fight.

The main purpose of this trip was to bring Wanda out for a camping and barbecue to relax. Helping Captain America resolve the conflict between Tony and Bucky was secondary; we need to be clear about the priorities.

As he spoke, he shoved a handful of freshly grilled skewers into Steve's hand.

Seeing this, Steve took the skewers and breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was in a difficult situation, and it would be better to have a break.

Although Tony noticed something was off, he didn't think it was him. In addition, out of consideration for Li Chuan, he didn't delve into it further and simply changed the subject to other things.

So everyone ate barbecue and drank beer, and the atmosphere was quite good for a while.

Thor recounts his experiences over the past fifteen hundred years, introducing the other worlds he has visited besides Midgard.

Tony was talking about his new suit that he had just finished researching. From now on, no matter where he was on Earth, as long as he activated the controller, the suit could fly out of Stark Tower to find him and let him put it on.

To set the stage, Steve briefly recounted Bucky's past, mentioning that he was once a member of the Howling Commandos, his best friend, and that he was controlled by Hydra.

It was almost afternoon when the barbecue and camping trip was coming to an end.

Li Chuan and Wanda waved their hands and used magic to clean everything up:

"Alright, this party is almost over, Steve, I think you're ready to speak."

Seeing Li Chuan's expression turn serious, everyone turned their attention to Steve.

Steve took a deep breath and pulled Bucky to stand in front of Tony:

"Tony, what I'm about to say might make you angry, but I beg you to stay calm and let us explain slowly."

"Old Popsicle, this isn't like you at all. Just say what's on your mind. I, Tony, am not a petty person."

Tony shrugged and then laughed.

He didn't think Steve would do anything to make him particularly angry, and besides, he considered himself a very magnanimous person.

Seeing this, Steve slowly spoke:

"Tony, according to the intelligence we obtained from Hydra, your father, my friend Howard Stark, did not die in a car accident."

Instead, Hydra, in order to gain control of S.H.I.E.L.D., sent assassins to stage a car accident.

The person sent to assassinate was none other than Bucky, who was then under Hydra's control.

As Steve spoke, Bucky, who hadn't said a word until now, lowered his head even further.

Upon hearing Steve's words, Tony's expression immediately changed.

Although he often complained that his deceased father was irresponsible and didn't care about or love him when he was a child, he actually had a deep love for his father, Howard.

Upon hearing that his father had not died in a car accident, but at the hands of the man standing before him, his heart was instantly filled with rage.

"Tony, I beg you to forgive Bucky. He did that because he was under Hydra's control; it wasn't his own will."

Seeing Tony's expression change, Steve quickly began to explain.

Tony, however, wouldn't listen to any of that. He immediately got up, put on the Iron Man suit standing there, and aimed the pulse cannon at Bucky.

"You deserve to die!"

Seeing this, Steve quickly picked up his shield and stood in front of Bucky to protect him.

"No, Tony."

At this moment, Li Chuan, who had been standing there silently, moved. He raised his hand not to point at Tony, who was preparing to attack, but instead pointed at Steve beside him:

"Without your weapons, zombies roam!"

Two beams of magical light shot towards Steve, who was completely unprepared. Steve's shield was first knocked away by the disarming spell, and then his entire body floated into the air.

"Mr. Li Chuan, what are you doing?"

Steve waved his hands in the air, looking at Li Chuan with an incredulous expression.

Li Chuan promised to help him persuade Tony to forgive Bucky, so why is he controlling Tony now?

Tony, who was initially furious, was stunned to see Steve floating in the air, unable to return to the ground because he had no foothold.

Thor, who was holding a beer, glanced at Tony, then at the floating Steve, then at Li Chuan, and scratched his head.

"Given your current situation, who should I help?"

Things changed so fast that he still doesn't understand what happened.

Li Chuan waved his hand and said:

"You just stand there and keep drinking, I'll handle this."

Thor nodded and sat down again.

Among the humans on Earth, besides his girlfriend Jane, the person he trusted most was Li Chuan. Since Li Chuan said he would handle it, he wouldn't interfere.

After replying to Thor, Li Chuan ignored Steve's incredulous expression and looked at Tony instead:

"Tony, as a friend, I'm definitely on your side. If you want to kill Bucky to avenge your father, I won't stop you, and I'll even help you hold off Captain Rogers."

It can even help you erase other people's memories after it's over.

But precisely because we're friends, I have to tell you that Steve wasn't lying. Bucky killed your father because he was indeed under Hydra's control.

So please think carefully before you decide whether or not you want to kill him. Don't let an impulsive decision lead to regret.

Bucky didn't run away; he silently walked up to Tony.

"Kill me. I have committed too many sins. My hands are stained with blood, the blood of your father, the blood of many innocent people, and even the blood of my former friends and their descendants. Perhaps death will bring me relief."

"To kill, or not to kill?"

Seeing Bucky's bloodshot eyes, Tony gradually calmed down.
