Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

crunch--

The door was pushed open and a burly black-haired man walked in.

He was wearing combat fatigues, had curly hair, and looked a bit Italian.

"Consultant Pierce..."

"Rumger, are you here? Sit down."

When Pierce saw the visitor close the door, the smile on his face became arrogant and he casually pointed at the sofa next to him.

That's right, the person who comes is Crossbones, who is being secretly investigated by Nick Fury and begins to notice something is wrong.

Crossbones sat down cautiously beside him and looked at Pierce with some nervousness.

He also found something wrong and reported it to Pierce, which led to today's meeting between Pierce and Nick Fury.

Now, Pierce's judgment determines whether he can continue to stay in S.H.I.E.L.D. or whether he has to escape as soon as possible.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Pierce did not speak immediately. The old man closed his eyes slightly, as if he was savoring every word of the conversation he had just had with the successor he had chosen.

Yoshihisa

Then he opened his eyes and sighed, "I am old and easily sleepy."

It was unclear whether this was referring to him or something else, but Crossbones quickly flattered him, "You are still as charming as ever, not a big shot."

"Alright." Pierce put away his fake kindness and turned cold: "We can't keep Tony Stark any longer. He must die."

"He seems to know something he shouldn't know, which will greatly affect our plans."

"Then I..."

Before Crossbones could finish, Pierce waved his hand.

"I have known Nick Fury for more than 30 years, and he has not yet become suspicious of me. This means that we have not been completely exposed, but he may have some suspicions."

"This young man is suspicious of everything..."

"I have proposed that the Avengers protect Tony Stark, but they will definitely have conflicts. Humph, I'll watch it carefully!"

"This is an opportunity! Go contact the Mandarin terrorist organization. We need cooperation."

"Kill Stark, but don't expose us and let others think it was the Mandarin who did it, understand?"

"Whatever he knows, we cannot reveal it before Project Insight begins..."

Crossbones heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, thinking that he should not have been exposed, which was good...

He was not afraid of being exposed, but if he was exposed, Lord Pierce, one of the extremely cruel Hydra leaders in front of him, would definitely not let him go.

Pierce will not allow himself to have any stain, and any threat that may expose his identity will be eliminated!

"Of course, I understand, sir. I will arrange for someone to contact this terrorist organization right now...I will make sure that Tony Stark's death is justified!"

Pierce nodded slightly after hearing this: "Go ahead."

He closed his eyes again, as if he didn't want to say anything else.

He waited until Crossbones left before opening his eyes again.

Showing some doubt, he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Not far away and diagonally opposite was Nick Fury's temporary office.

Pierce looked over there from afar and whispered softly, "Nick... don't let the teacher down too much."

Chapter 89 California Clouds

next day

The climate on the California coast is pleasant, and this season is perfect for sunshine, beaches and beautiful women.

It would be a beautiful day if the world wasn't so messed up.

Early in the morning, the Stark mansion welcomed an uninvited guest.

"Rod, why didn't you protect the president?"

Stark had just walked out of the bedroom, wearing his work vest. It was obvious that he had not slept well that night, and he was ready to continue the work of upgrading the armor from last night early in the morning.

When he met his only good brother, the deep fatigue on his face seemed more natural.

He forced a smile and joked.

...

Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes

As the previous liaison between the military and Stark's military industry, he is the only good friend that Stark can get along with, and he holds a special position in Stark's heart.

He is an upright man and a qualified soldier, but he is often caught in a dilemma between his friendship with Stark and the interests of the United States. Generally speaking, he still leans towards Stark.

As the Mandarin terrorist organization has been rampant recently, Rhodes was ordered to go out, either to protect this big shot on his visit or to take over Tony's "job" of cleaning up the terrorist organization.

It's just that due to his sensitive political identity, no media hypes him up.

Except those directly controlled by the government.

"Tony, what's wrong with you? Damn, you haven't slept for several days again, have you?"

Rhodes did not directly answer Stark's question. Seeing his friend's tired face and dark circles under his eyes, he couldn't help but think of the former Tony Stark.

He frowned and walked over to Stark, taking the coffee cup from his hand.

"Oh my god, coffee this strong?"

Stark shrugged, walked to the sofa, sat down, stretched, and rubbed his aching forehead.

"I just have some insomnia. Please don't look at me like I'm going to die."

Rhodes shook his head. He knew why Stark was like this. He sat down opposite him, clenched his fist and hesitated for a moment, then persuaded him: "Tony, I know you have been worried about Happy. To be honest, he is also my friend. I feel bad too..."

It is clear

Stark didn't like to hear this, he was used to showing his strong side.

"That's enough, Rhodes. If you are here on behalf of the military, then you should be thankful because I am going to take action to deal with those enemies that have left the army helpless, instead of holding me back. Do you understand?"

Rhodes looked at Stark in silence.

Until Stark's voice unconsciously became a little weaker.

"I'm not here on behalf of the military, Tony. I'm here as a friend."

"We are brothers, right?"

Seeing Rhodes' sincere eyes, Stark was touched, but on the surface he was like a stubborn child, and it seemed very unnatural for him to care about others. He shifted his gaze: "Okay, okay, I admit that I have been a little anxious recently. I need to update my battle suit..."

Hearing this, Rhodes felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to persuade Tony not to fight so hard, Jarvis suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Stark, a UFO is approaching here, please be careful!"

"There are still ten...nine...eight..." before the UFO enters your territory

"Shoot him down, Jarvis!"

Hearing this, Stark didn't bother to say too much to Rhodes. He jumped up from the sofa with a gleam in his eyes.

He was warned by the sentinels a few days ago to be careful, as the terrorist organizations on the other side seemed to have some connection with Hydra and would probably not let him go.

Watch now

The sentinel's words came true once again!

The enemy...as expected, has come to our doorstep.

"Yes sir, anti-aircraft missiles activated!"

The Castle Doctrine, which is the foundation of the American nation, gives people unlimited rights of self-defense on their own land.

It’s just that others can only use Gatling guns, Laojiu artillery, etc., refer to Texas.

Or crocodiles, ice shooters and the like, refer to Florida.

But Stark is different, he doesn't think highly of those small water guns, so he starts with a big killer, which is good.

In the movie, the situation where the enemy's armed helicopter was right in front of his face but he was unaware of it at all, simply showed that he did not take Jarvis, the almighty butler, seriously.

Following Stark's command, Jarvis quickly adjusted the parameters.

Below the cliff mansion, a missile launch platform suddenly appeared from the cliff, followed by a few clanging sounds.

The missiles shot up into the sky and flew towards the two unidentified attacking helicopters.

This time six missiles were used.

After all, Stark lacks everything except money and arms.

...

on the helicopter

There were not many terrorists affiliated with Killian. In addition to the pilots, there were five Winter Soldiers on the two planes.

If these five Winter Soldiers are used well, they really have the power to subvert a country.

This is not to say that they are powerful in combat, and they may not be a match for Iron Man in his battle suit.

But once they are asked to carry out infiltration, assassination, and disguise missions, their role will become apparent.

Among them, Baron Zemo assassinated the King of Wakanda, provoked the collapse of the Avengers, and promoted the Superhero Act by his own strength.

It can be seen how much influence these five people would have if they fell into the hands of someone who knows the business.

At this time, the helicopter pilot had already detected the incoming anti-aircraft missile.

"We are being targeted, we are being targeted, danger danger!"

At the back of the plane sat three Winter Soldiers, including Captain America’s close friend Bucky.

I don't know whether Killian did it intentionally or unintentionally, but Bucky was appointed as the captain of this mission.

Hearing this, he suddenly raised his head.
