A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Chapter 117 Congratulations to the Avengers on adding another Captain America!

Like Nick Fury, Coulson, Black Widow, and others, Tony Stark is also busy.

However, the things Playboy was busy with had nothing to do with his diary.

He didn't make any arrangements to address the spoilers in the diary, but instead conducted an investigation.

What are you investigating?

Without a doubt, it was the EMP pulse that caused his armor system to shut down.

The moment Tony Stark learned of this, he immediately realized that he had been tricked!

Someone wants to kill him!

The appearance of the Hulk was a shocking trap set by Tony Stark to kill him.

Who could it be?

The playboy fell into deep thought.

To be honest...

There aren't many people with this kind of motive and this kind of writer, and Tony Stark almost immediately and naturally guessed the answer: Hydra!

The only entity capable of orchestrating such a grand scheme, and one that would want to kill me, is probably Hydra.

He had both sent Senator Stern to jail and killed the Winter Soldier.

It would be stranger if Hydra didn't react at all!

"Jarvis, retrieve all the surveillance footage from that scene and see if you can find anything."

However, while a very certain guess is one thing, a proper investigation is also essential, and Tony Stark immediately gave Jarvis such an order.

Swish swish!

Jarvis projected one relevant surveillance camera clip after another around Tony Stark.

It looks densely packed and dazzling.

Jarvis also immediately searched for the relevant surveillance footage.

Unfortunately, the one who secretly targeted Tony Stark was a high-ranking Hydra agent, and bypassing surveillance was just basic procedure for him.

Jarvis's search yielded nothing of any use.

Tony Stark wasn't too surprised by this. Hydra wouldn't easily leave any clues about someone like him who was secretly trying to assassinate him.

"Sir, should we contact Nick Fury?"

The thoughtful AI Jarvis offered this suggestion to Tony Stark.

Since no trace was left on the surveillance footage, it's more appropriate to leave this matter to an expert like Nick Fury.

"There's no need for that."

Tony Stark waved his hand, the playboy already had another idea.

Hmph, does he really think that just because he didn't leave any traces at the scene, Tony can't do anything about it?

How naive!

Don't forget that Playboy was one of the world's most outstanding scientists!

Therefore, Tony Stark was well aware that, given the current level of technology, there were very few people in the world capable of creating that kind of EMP pulse.

Tony Stark had a general idea of ​​the technologies needed to manufacture that "EMP transmitter," the key materials used, and even the necessary experimental equipment.

So for Tony Stark, all he had to do was find out who was researching EMP pulse weapons, right?

Such a complex and sophisticated weapon, developed from scratch, could not possibly be silent and without any trace.

"You'd better hide well, or I'll find you too easily!"

A glint of light flashed in the playboy's eyes, and he began to conduct a detailed investigation into the matter.

And in just half a month, Tony Stark indeed found out a definite result.

Hydra!

It really is a hydra.

According to Playboy's investigation, there are indeed only a handful of people in the entire United States who have conducted in-depth research on EMP pulses; very few, if you add them all up, it's no more than a handful.

The only one that weaponized it was a research team.

And that research team, Playboy also had Jarvis conduct a comprehensive surveillance and investigation.

It has been confirmed that the lead researcher is none other than a Hydra!

So what questions are there?

There are no more questions.

The one who secretly assassinated him, using Hulk as a pawn, was Hydra.

Hammer it!

Moreover, even if one is unfamiliar with Hydra's current structure and only has a general understanding of its scale, one thing is certain.

Hydra has already taken action against someone of Tony's caliber, so the order must have come from higher up!

That's right, Tony Stark is now completely at odds with Hydra.

Of course.

Tony Stark was not surprised by this outcome; in fact, he had anticipated it from the moment he stormed the Hydra base and killed the Winter Soldier.

They had already made the necessary mental preparations.

"Hydra?"

Tony Stark muttered to himself, his voice becoming increasingly meaningful.

Since you want to have some fun, then Big Tony will play along to the end!

"Jarvis, contact Nick Fury."

After a moment's thought, the playboy gave Jarvis this order.

A behemoth like Hydra is somewhat outnumbered and outmatched on its own, and more importantly, its efficiency is extremely low.

After all, Tony Stark's primary reliance was Jarvis, as confirmed during his investigation of the Winter Soldier, which proved insufficient.

Only by working together with S.H.I.E.L.D. can we achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Furthermore, since both sides share the same goal, joint operations naturally follow.

"Understood, sir!"

Jarvis immediately began to follow Tony Stark's orders and contact Nick Fury.

"Stark?"

Soon, Lu Dan's voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, rang in my ears.

But in reality, Nick Fury was quite curious about Tony Stark taking the initiative to approach him.

After all, this isn't the playboy's nature.

It seems Stark must have something important to do!

Lu Dan quickly made a judgment in his mind.

"Nick Fury, I made some new discoveries about Hulk's appearance last time, and I think we can discuss them in more detail."

Tony Stark stated his purpose directly to Lu Dan, but did not go into too much detail.

Even so, it still immediately caught Nick Fury's attention.

"I'll be there in three hours."

After a moment's thought, Lu Dan gave this answer.

"Beep beep beep".

After losing contact with Tony Stark, Nick Fury quickly got to work.

It was indeed three hours later when he finally had some free time and arrived at the Playboy's luxurious villa.

All I can say is that Lu Dan's time management is absolutely amazing.

"Alright, Stark, this should be the safest place in the world."

"So you can just say what you want to say."

After a simple opening, Nick Fury got straight to the point with the Playboy.

Tony Stark, of course, didn't waste any words and told Lu Dan about how Hydra had used the Hulk to set him up for assassination.

He also told Lu Dan about his desire to join forces with S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight Hydra.

"It seems that Hydra has messed with someone they shouldn't have."

Nick Fury sighed meaningfully, outwardly remaining calm, but inwardly he was in high spirits.

The matter of Hydra has always been a heavy burden on Lu Dan's mind.

Although the Skrulls' plan to infiltrate Hydra has proven feasible and effective, it is still far from enough for Ludan.

Tony Stark's addition will be an invaluable asset to Lu Dan.

After all, Jarvis, a technology that is ahead of its time, can indeed play an extremely important role.

"Yes, this is the last thing they should have done!"

Tony Stark nodded in agreement, and then began to discuss the details of the "cooperation" with Nick Fury.

It took about half an hour to finish, and both sides were quite satisfied.

"Stark, if I were you, I would request protection from the military."

Before leaving, Nick Fury solemnly suggested to Tony Stark, "Or, I can arrange for someone to help."

"No, I'd better call Rhodes."

After some deliberation, the playboy made this decision.

Although Tony Stark is always arrogant and cool, seemingly not caring about anything, he can still distinguish between what is important and what is urgent.

Now that he's being targeted by an extremely dangerous organization like Hydra, even if Tony Stark isn't used to being followed by a group of bodyguards, he understands the necessity of doing so.

Putting aside the fact that his parents died at the hands of Hydra, let's talk about the last time.

If Satan hadn't appeared in time, Tony would have been dead long ago, wouldn't he?

Having learned such a hard lesson, how could Tony Stark not make the necessary preparations?

The reason he chose the military over S.H.I.E.L.D. was, of course, because Playboy trusted his good friend Rhodes more than Lu Dan.

What if Lu Dan planted an undercover agent in his place? Wouldn't that playboy be tired of living?

Of course, there is another consideration besides that.

If such a behemoth as the military is also dragged into this mess, it will naturally cause even greater trouble and a more fatal blow to Hydra.

After all, the military's power is something even Hydra cannot easily provoke.

The matter was thus reached very pleasantly.

"OK!"

Nick Fury didn't say anything more, and left Stark's mansion directly, returning to his office.

In the following days, Nick Fury truly began his full-scale collaboration with Tony Stark.

The two sides shared intelligence and resources, which increased efficiency by several times!

Many secrets that Nick Fury had never discovered before, and which were extremely well hidden, were gradually uncovered.

The person making the braised egg was in a very good mood, which was undoubtedly good news.

A few days later, Hawkeye Barton brought another piece of good news.

"Sir, we've located the Red Guard!"

"He was imprisoned in a secret prison in the Gulag Forest."

"It's one of those secret imprisonment bases that Natasha provided."

Inside the office, Hawkeye Barton stood in front of Lu Dan to give a report.

Nick Fury remained outwardly calm, but a flicker of excitement flashed through his mind; things had gone so smoothly!

The Red Guardian was found just that easily!

Not only were they found, but they were even in Siberia!

Well, it's more discreet and smoother to operate, and less likely to be noticed by others.

It's as if even the heavens are doing me a favor.

It must be said that this was indeed an unexpected surprise that Nick Fury had not anticipated.

I don't know whether to say that Hongfangzi is bold or that the other party has something wrong with their brain.

Knowing full well that Black Widow, a "traitor," was active outside, how could they not take any precautions at all?

Even if they orchestrated the illusion of the Red House's destruction, they should still try to cover up the traces that need to be concealed.

Snapped!

At this point, Hawkeye Barton placed another file folder on the table.

When Nick Fury opened it, he saw that it contained photos of Red Guards.

Looking at that guy's huge belly, it was exactly the same as described in the diary. He had gotten so fat that he looked like a monster.

"Barton, I'm giving you a new task."

After retracting One-Eye from the photo of Red Guard, Nick Fury proceeded to give Hawkeye Barton a new task.

What mission?

The mission was undoubtedly to rescue the Red Guards from that secret prison.

This mission is certainly challenging, but for a top agent like Patton, it's really nothing.

After all, both Black Widow and Yelena were capable of doing this, and with Nick Fury providing Hawkeye Barton with all sorts of support, there was no way Barton couldn't accomplish it.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Nick Fury predicted.

Barton led the team outside of S.H.I.E.L.D. assigned to Nick Fury, and from planning to execution, it took a month and a half to successfully rescue the Red Guard.

They were taken to a top-secret base and brought before Nick Fury.

"The food in prison is not bad, Mr. Alexei."

Lu Dan gazed at the Red Guard with a meaningful look. "Or, I should call you the Red Guard."

"It's been a long time. I didn't expect anyone would still remember this name."

The stubble-covered, unruly red-haired guard looked on with a mixture of emotion and apprehension, then his gaze turned wary and serious as he stared intently at Nick Fury. "Who are you? What's your purpose in bringing me from that hell?"

"You're just like Captain America. It's such a waste to leave someone like you to rot in a place like that."

"Therefore, I've decided to give you a second chance."

Nick Fury first highly praised the Red Guards before revealing his true purpose.

"So, what kind of opportunity is it?" The Red Guard raised an eyebrow.

"The Avengers".

Lu Dan then told Red Guard about the Avengers' plan.
