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

Chapter 4 Tony: My father was actually murdered?

Jarvis.

After thinking for a moment without being able to recall, Tony Stark began asking his trusted butler, Jarvis, "Does America have an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"Sir, there is no such organization in my database."

Jarvis immediately gave this answer.

"However, there is an intelligence agency called the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency."

"The abbreviation of this intelligence agency happens to form the word 'shield'."

Tony Stark immediately had an idea.

Could this intelligence organization with such a long and difficult-to-pronounce name be the "S.H.I.E.L.D." mentioned in the diary?

"Investigate this intelligence organization and see if it has anything to do with my father."

Tony Stark issued such an order once again.

"Sir, this organization was indeed founded by Mr. Howard."

Jarvis immediately provided the answer.

In a flash, a series of related information, materials, pictures, texts, and so on were displayed.

It was projected onto Tony Stark.

"The predecessor of the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency was the Strategic Science Corps."

"This was a special agency established by the military during World War II to combat Hydra."

"Mr. Howard joined the effort as the chief scientific advisor and has been working with the military in a secret war against Hydra."

"Later, Mr. Howard, Ms. Peggy Carter, and Officer Chester Phillips, the director of the Strategic Scientific Corps, renamed the Strategic Scientific Corps to S.H.I.E.L.D."

"And it has continued to operate as a separate intelligence agency to this day."

There's nothing lying in the diary!

Tony Stark glanced at the dazzling array of documents before him, inwardly marveling at the sight.

Just as recorded in the diary, this organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. is really quite powerful.

The founder has his own father, that goes without saying.

And the famous Peggy Carter is even there!

This is a super celebrity.

The missed date with Captain America is something that has left countless people feeling regretful.

Upon closer inspection, Tony Stark was even more astonished.

Today, S.H.I.E.L.D. has developed into an international organization.

It is not even under the jurisdiction of the United States!

Instead, they are employed by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and are directly responsible to the World Security Council.

Absolutely amazing!

Tony Stark never expected that Howard would establish such a powerful intelligence agency.

Look at the entries in that diary.

In the future, after I announce that I have become Iron Man, will this intelligence agency also provide me with some protection?

It helped me and saved me from a lot of trouble?

Tony Stark gave a noncommittal shrug.

Those guys are really being nosy and meddling in other people's business.

Does Big Tony need anyone's help?

That's a joke!

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Tony Stark continued to focus on his diary.

It's truly a pity about Howard.

[This is a genius who, in an era before World War II, when technology was still very limited, created many cutting-edge technologies such as maglev trains and body-enhancing drugs!]

Even after being dead for so many years, he could still save Tony Stark's life!

Tony Stark is indeed highly intelligent and very capable, but I think he's still a bit inferior to Howard.

"You think I can't beat that old man?"

"Please, I've already surpassed him!"

"Could he build circuit boards at the age of four?"

"Could he assemble an engine at the age of six?"

Tony Stark immediately objected and couldn't help but complain out loud.

What gives Zhou Cheng the right to say that?

It's just magnetic levitation, body enhancement drugs and stuff like that. If he wants, he can do that too!

As for the idea that someone who has been dead for many years can save their own life, that's utter nonsense.

That's pure nonsense.

Will I face some kind of life-or-death crisis in the future, the kind where my life hangs by a thread and I need someone to save me?

Serious illness?

Accident?

Of course, these possibilities cannot be ruled out; who can guarantee that they will never get sick or have an accident in their entire life?

But how could all of this have anything to do with his dead father?

The person has been dead for so many years!

It's a bit of a pity that he was assassinated at the peak of his career.

Otherwise, even if Tony Stark is a genius, he'd probably still live in Howard's shadow, right?

boom!

Tony Stark was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Assassination!

My own parents died in a car accident!

Why does the diary say that he was assassinated?

Why?

joke?

mischief?

Tony Stark didn't think so.

A person who can present their diary to themselves in a way that even they can't understand.

Why go through all this trouble just to joke with yourself?

This must be a joke!

not to mention.

Tony Stark should try a different approach.

Given her father's status and position, and the complex web of interests behind him, she was well aware of his position.

Howard has many enemies, both openly and secretly, many enemies who wish him dead.

Not to mention.

Tony Stark also just learned that his father was the founder of an intelligence agency.

The waters inside intelligence agencies are unfathomable.

Taking all these factors into consideration.

It is entirely possible that someone would risk everything to assassinate their own father.

only.

Despite his father's status and position, his assassination was still classified as a simple car accident.

Whoever is the mastermind behind it all, they possess immense power.

He must be no ordinary person.

But whoever it is, if this is true, Tony Stark will definitely fight to the bitter end!

"Jarvis!"

Tony Stark immediately gave Jarvis an order: "Find all the information about my father from back then."

"I'm giving you the highest level of access. You can crack any encrypted data you need."

"I need you to find all the relevant information as quickly as possible!"

Tony Stark was truly enraged!

Although there is not enough evidence yet, he feels that what is recorded in the diary should be true.

It's very likely that Zhou Cheng's identity is real.

not to mention.

It's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't.

"Understood, sir!"

Jarvis immediately responded and began searching for all relevant information online.

Apart from materials already available on public networks.

Believe it or not, Jarvis actually found some encrypted data.

Jarvis can directly crack some common levels of encryption.

However, some data is encrypted by relevant departments.

That would be something Jarvis couldn't easily crack.

When Jarvis told Tony Stark the news, Tony Stark became increasingly unsettled.

Because this completely proves that there were indeed other hidden reasons behind his father's death!
