I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

At most, Steve will have more trouble tracking, but he is unlikely to encounter any major danger.

"I can definitely handle it, but you should have told me sooner if you knew."

Steve felt somewhat helpless upon hearing Tony's affirmation of his abilities.

"Okay, I'll let you know any information I find out in the future."

"By the way, what exactly is Project Insight?"

Tony nodded upon hearing this, and then casually asked a question.

"Hydra created an algorithm program that I heard has extremely strong computing power."

"It can accurately calculate which people on Earth are likely to endanger Earth in the future."

"Then we'll use the Insight Plan to wipe them all out in one go."

"The Hydra will be able to complete its rule over Earth."

Steve smiled and said upon hearing this.

Even if Hydra's plan succeeds and eliminates most potential enemies, it is completely impossible for them to rule the Earth.

Because the true ruler of Earth is not humankind itself, but the god-king Odin.

Hydra doesn't even understand these things, yet it dares to dream of ruling the planet. Isn't that just wishful thinking?

If Asgard sends a god, they will surely be able to stop it.

Moreover, even if he were killed, there wouldn't be time to send a message.

Banner and Tony are currently developing new technology in space and won't be back unless something major happens on Earth.

But once Banner and Tony return, Hydra will have the capability to build those next-generation air carriers and carry the weapons they need.

They posed no threat to Tony and Banner, which meant that Hydra's plan was doomed to fail no matter what.

"Even I wouldn't dare say I can rule the planet, so where do those idiots at Hydra get their confidence?"

When Tony heard about Hydra's ambition to rule the planet, he was initially incredulous, but then a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

“I think so too, and Tony, there’s something I feel I need to apologize to you about.”

Upon hearing this, Steve smiled, then his eyes hardened, and he spoke.

In fact, he had successfully intercepted the Insight Project a week earlier.

The reason why it took so long to contact Tony was because Steve was also somewhat conflicted.

Through Dr. Anim Sora, a remnant of Hydra, he learned what Bucky had been doing all these years.

He didn't care about the other things Bucky did, because Bucky was being controlled and didn't want to do them.

But Bucky also killed Tony's parents.

This left Steve in a terrible dilemma: whether or not to tell Tony.

However, considering Tony's technology, the artificial intelligence he creates in the future will become increasingly powerful.

If he doesn't take the initiative to explain to Tony and seek his understanding.

If Jarvis finds out and informs Tony, then Tony's anger will definitely not be contained.

Regardless of whether he can defeat Tony, who has been in the Void longer and possesses numerous suits of armor,

To be honest, he didn't have enough confidence that he would definitely beat Tony later.

However, if he were to fight an enraged Tony, it would cause immense disaster to the surrounding environment and creatures.

One of them is Bucky, a close friend with whom he has a life-or-death bond.

One was a friend and benefactor who introduced Harvey to the Void and arranged for him to not have to worry about money and only focus on evolving.

Personally, Steve believes Bucky is innocent and was forced into it, but it's also certain that Bucky is Tony's enemy who killed his parents.

However, from a moral standpoint, if he were to conceal the truth, it could lead to even greater disasters later on.

Even if he didn't want Bucky to die, Steve was very clear about it.

He couldn't stop the hidden future either. Tony, who had connections all over Earth, knew the truth and eventually found and killed Bucky.

In any case, Tony will find out eventually, so it's better to take the initiative to confess and seek forgiveness.

So after agonizing for a week, Steve decided to take the initiative to tell Tony and see if Tony was willing to forgive Bucky.

"Apologize to me?"

"What did you do wrong?"

Tony was puzzled by Steve's words.

"It wasn't me who did something wrong, but one of my brothers did something wrong..."

"I hope to receive your forgiveness."

Steve looked embarrassed upon hearing this.

Chapter 316 The Death of Bucky Barnes

"Who is your brother? What wrong did he do that I need to forgive?"

Tony listened to Steve's words thoughtfully, and instead of rushing, he asked carefully.

He didn't consider whether it was Steve or his so-called brother who had cheated on him.

Pepper's strength is relatively weak compared to him, but against the vast majority of humans on Earth, she is absolutely a superwoman.

Moreover, if Pepper wants to part ways with me, she will tell me proactively instead of hiding it from me.

"Here's the thing, I have a brother named Bucky Barnes..."

Steve then began to tell the story of Bucky.

Tony initially thought it was nothing, but when Steve mentioned that Bucky Barnes was controlled by Hydra and had become a mindless killing machine used to eliminate anyone who was a threat to Hydra, Tony became a different person.

Tony's expression changed slightly.

Since Steve specifically mentioned this, it means that the Bucky Barnes that Steve mentioned has become a killing machine, murdering people who are extremely important to him.

As Tony expected, Steve mentioned that his parents were killed by Bucky.

"Hydra, when I return in a while, I will find them all and wipe them out."

"I will return to Earth after Thor and Loki return to Asgard, which should take about three to four months."

"In the next few months, you should take the time to catch up with your brother."

"But after I return to Earth, I don't want to ever receive news that your brother is still alive."

"You should understand what I mean."

Tony's face turned icy, and he spoke.

Tony himself didn't care about Hydra.

Because while some members of Hydra are very intelligent, they are limited by Earth's technology and the physical limitations of ordinary people, so they cannot pose a significant threat to Earth.

Moreover, since the other party is human, there is no need to exterminate them directly before they pose a threat to us.

He never imagined that his parents were killed by Hydra, so he would never allow Hydra to live.

Tony doesn't have a habit of eavesdropping on other people's private lives, so he has never hacked into all the communication devices on Earth, but not doing so doesn't mean Tony can't do it.

"Is there absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter...?"

When Steve heard that Tony had given him a few months, he hesitated to speak.

"Other things are negotiable, but this is not negotiable."

Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.

"There is also the hatred of killing one's father, an irreconcilable enmity."

"I don't know if you've learned these two sentences. If you have but have forgotten what they mean, then you should review them properly."

"Steve, I have done right by you, and I hope you can do the same for me. Don't put me in a difficult position."

Tony knew, of course, that Steve was trying to persuade him to let go of the hatred for killing his parents, but there was no way he could let go of it.

He had already given Steve face, given Bucky Barnes a few months to live, and allowed him to catch up with Steve.

If Steve doesn't give him face, then he will take matters into his own hands.

Steve's eyes flickered when he heard the hope that he could also live up to Tony's expectations.

Of course he had studied those two sentences. If he knew who his father's killer was, he wouldn't be able to forgive so easily.

He understood that Tony had given him an ultimatum if he didn't accept Tony's terms.

Then Tony would not only break ties with him, but he would also kill Bucky right in front of him.

"Let me know when you're planning to come back."

So after a moment of silence, Steve spoke.

I will contact you a week before I prepare to return.

"We can talk about other things when I get back, if it's convenient."

Upon hearing this, Tony knew that Steve had indirectly accepted his conditions, so he gave a more precise time.

Give Steve ample time to prepare mentally.

"Okay, we can talk about the rest when you get back."

Steve understood what Tony meant and nodded.

If he really killed Bucky and gave Tony an explanation, then they could continue to talk about various things.

If not, then even if Tony kills Bucky, they have nothing to talk about.

Steve then hung up the call.

Inside Tony's villa on his private island on Blue Star.

Steve walked out of the villa and saw Bucky sitting there, staring blankly at the sea.
