The Senior Undercover Agent opposite Pierce couldn't help but freeze; he knew his Officer had murderous intent.
The Senior Undercover Agent naturally understood this.
Since Tony Stark knew so many of HYDRA's secrets, he was a huge threat to HYDRA and naturally had to be eliminated.
But how to eliminate him was not a simple matter.
Considering Tony Stark's immense influence, if any flaws were left in this matter, it would also be a huge problem for HYDRA.
Didn't HYDRA also fake a car accident when they assassinated Tony Stark's parents?
That was precisely because they feared Howard's immense influence.
And now?
Tony Stark, who created the Destroyer Armor, has an influence that completely surpasses Howard Stark!
So, eliminating Tony Stark must be done gradually.
If not handled well, even HYDRA would suffer a huge backlash.
Of course.
For Alexander Pierce, a head of Agents and king of spies with great power, this matter was only a bit troublesome, nothing more.
It was not a real problem.
In his long career, he had dealt with countless problems more difficult than this.
Tony Stark's matter truly wasn't much.
After determining the basic policy of eliminating Tony Stark, Alexander Pierce began to truly push forward with this matter.
And it must be said, Alexander Pierce was indeed no slouch.
His series of tasks, from the collection of various relevant intelligence, the formulation of assassination strategic plans, to the preparation of various preliminary works.
And so on.
All were completed in just two months.
"Officer, all preparations are complete, and we can begin the operation at any time."
Triskelion top-floor office.
Hearing the report from the Senior Undercover Agent in front of him, Alexander Pierce's face couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.
And then, a sharp gleam appeared in his eyes.
Tony Stark, your death is near!
"Then what are we waiting for?"
"Let our World be ready to lose a superhero!"
Alexander Pierce said meaningfully to the Senior Undercover Agent in front of him.
Tony Stark naturally didn't know he was on Alexander Pierce's kill list, nor did he know that Pierce had specially prepared a net for him.
A net full of murderous intent!
At this moment, the Playboy was enjoying himself immensely.
He had just had a heartfelt, in-depth exchange with another cover girl from Maxim magazine in his luxurious Villa.
Allowing each other to enter the other's World, sparking flames full of love.
Standing in front of the mirror, buttoning his shirt, Tony Stark subconsciously glanced at the graceful figure lying on the bed.
For some reason, the Playboy suddenly felt a sense of guilt, a hesitation.
This life, which used to be routine and basic for him, made Tony Stark feel a hint of panic and worry.
Although it was just a hint, yes, the Playboy was indeed a little worried.
What if Pepper found out?
Of course.
Tony Stark used to be just as wild.
The number of women who had entered his luxurious Villa and slept in his bed was almost uncountable, and each time the Playboy never avoided Pepper Potts.
He even had Pepper Potts clean up the mess after his fun.
But now the situation was different.
Before, he simply regarded Pepper Potts as his assistant, nothing more.
Naturally, he wouldn't care so much about Pepper Potts's thoughts.
But now?
The Playboy and the little assistant were already in a very ambiguous period.
Although they hadn't yet broken through that layer of window paper, they both had a tacit understanding; everyone knew they had feelings for each other.
Not to mention.
Tony Stark had long known that Pepper Potts was his future wife, so this time he was truly ready to embark on a relationship with Pepper Potts.
"This is the last one!"
"I promise!"
After retracting his gaze, Tony Stark couldn't help but secretly make this decision in his heart.
"Sir, there's an emergency in West Manhattan!"
"Hulk has appeared!"
Before he even finished buttoning the last button, Jarvis's voice suddenly rang in his ear.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a corresponding image was projected by Jarvis in front of Tony Stark.
"Roar!"
In the video, on the bustling street, a large green figure, like a Beast, was roaring furiously, smashing everything around it.
Ah ah ah ah!
Gasps of surprise rose and fell at the scene.
The passers-by were all scared to death, scrambling to flee in all directions.
They only regretted that their parents hadn't given them two more legs.
The scene was utterly chaotic.
"Hulk?"
"Why has this guy appeared again?"
Tony Stark was slightly surprised by this and couldn't help but mutter.
Hulk had just fought Abomination a while ago, causing a huge disturbance.
According to the Playboy's understanding, he should have gone into hiding abroad.
Why would he appear in the U.S. again at this time?
And in a place like Manhattan?
But now was obviously not the time to think about these issues.
Since Hulk had appeared in Manhattan, Tony Stark naturally couldn't ignore it.
After all, Stark Tower is in Manhattan, and Manhattan is the Destroyer's territory!
What's more, Tony Stark had been wearing the Iron Man Armor for such a long time that he had long been accustomed to his superhero identity.
Even if Hulk didn't appear in Manhattan, if the Playboy didn't know, then fine, but if he knew, he wouldn't stand by idly.
Through the diary, Tony Stark knew better than anyone how terrifying that "Hulk" truly was!
"Jarvis, what are you waiting for?"
Tony Stark didn't hesitate and immediately gave Jarvis this command.
"Sir, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Based on our intelligence assessment, you may not be able to resolve this crisis."
The thoughtful AI promptly reminded the Playboy.
"Jarvis, you know my style, act first, think later!"
"As you wish, Sir!"
Jarvis said no more unnecessary words.
He immediately began controlling the corresponding mechanical arms to suit up Tony Stark.
Click, click, click!
In just a dozen seconds.
The cool Iron Man Armor was donned by Tony Stark, and Destroyer made a dazzling appearance.
Whoosh!
The next moment.
Destroyer, spewing blazing and dazzling Fire, soared into the sky and quickly flew towards the incident site.
"Sir, Nick Fury is calling."
Just as he left the luxurious Villa, Jarvis's reminder came.
"Connect him."
Even if he guessed with his leg, the Playboy could guess why Nick Fury was looking for him, and immediately gave Jarvis this command.
"Stark, have you seen the news?"
Indeed, Nick Fury's extremely grave voice immediately sounded in the earpiece.
"I know, I'm on my way."
Tony Stark immediately gave an affirmative answer.
Upon hearing this, Nick Fury on the other end immediately felt a little relieved.
The reason for "a little relieved" was because Nick Fury already knew clearly through the diary how incredibly powerful "Hulk" was.
That was a super pervert who could beat a god!
Although Destroyer was indeed an overpowered existence for current society, facing that level of pervert, Nick Fury truly dared not have too much confidence.
So, to be safe, after some thought, Nick Fury still dialed another number.
???
Zhou Cheng, who was lying comfortably on the sofa watching a U.S. drama, immediately noticed an incoming call from an unknown number.
Zhou Cheng was engrossed in his U.S. drama, so he ignored the unknown call and simply hung up.
But who would have thought that as soon as he hung up, a message came: "I am Nick Fury!"
Nick Fury?
Zhou Cheng felt a little surprised.
How could the dignified Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. call him?
Was it for something about the Avengers again?
But he had clearly and firmly rejected Nick Fury!
So, was Nick Fury actually asking for a commission?
Quickly sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Cheng made a preliminary judgment on the current situation.
When the unknown number called again, he chose to answer.
Indeed.
A voice he found very familiar sounded in the earpiece.
"Satan, I am Nick Fury, and I am now giving you an urgent commission."
Urgent commission?
Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up slightly.
Nick Fury even told him the urgency of the commission; was this giving him a chance to ask for a huge price?
He had come to him, and with such an attitude, it seemed Nick Fury had indeed encountered something very urgent.
"Tell me!"
While muttering to himself, Zhou Cheng didn't waste time and asked Nick Fury curiously.
"Hulk suddenly appeared in Manhattan, and Stark is on his way to deal with it, but I'm worried Stark might not be able to handle it."
"So I need a backup plan."
Nick Fury concisely told Zhou Cheng what had happened.
Hulk?
That Hulk really can't stay still!
Zhou Cheng sighed softly in his heart, then began to ponder the matter.
With so many cheats and methods at his disposal now, could he deal with Hulk?
It seems… worth a try!
And soon, Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up.
Because in the long time since he obtained the diary, he had acquired a very interesting item:
The memory-erasing device from the Men in Black film series.
When used, this item could directly make the target's brain go blank.
Then, as long as someone orally implanted the desired memory into the target at that moment.
The target's brain would automatically fill in the blanks.
Thereby achieving the elimination and filling of relevant memories.
From the effects shown in the movie, the memory-erasing device's effect was still very astonishing.
It wasn't just about erasing memories; it could even change a person's habits.
Zhou Cheng was actually very curious: would this thing work on Hulk?
Theoretically.
As long as Hulk's brain went blank, or rather, if Hulk just slept, wouldn't Hulk no longer be angry?
Then, would Bruce Banner's personality come back online?
Zhou Cheng still thought it was quite feasible.
"Prepare ten million U.S. dollars!"
After some thought, Zhou Cheng made up his mind.
He stopped wasting words and quoted Nick Fury a very "sincere" price.
Who told him the matter was truly urgent?
"Price is not an issue!"
"If Stark successfully stops Hulk, then all is well."
"If Stark fails to stop Hulk, Satan, then I hope you can live up to this ten-million-dollar quote!"
"Just wait and see."
After ending the call with Nick Fury, Zhou Cheng prepared his Satan suit, Jack Sparrow's compass, the memory-erasing device, and other relevant items, then rushed out the door.
Indeed.
If he truly intervened and fought Hulk this time, Zhou Cheng would definitely attract attention from multiple parties.
But for Zhou Cheng, this was actually not a big deal.
Anyway, his identity had already been exposed to S.H.I.E.L.D., hadn't it?
Since it was already exposed, Zhou Cheng didn't mind being exposed further.
What's more.
Anyway, he still had the memory-erasing device in hand; if he encountered any very tricky trouble, he could just erase the relevant people's memories then.
Everything was not a problem!
But compared to Zhou Cheng's high spirits, Tony Stark at this moment was not so carefree.
Roar!
Boom boom boom!
When the Playboy flew his Iron Man Armor to the incident site.
Hulk was standing in front of a car, roaring and continuously smashing it with his fists.
In a few hits, he flattened the car into an Iron Man Armor.
Fortunately, there was no one in the car, otherwise, it would truly be a real-life horror show not even seen in horror movies.
"Hey, big guy, you need to cool down!"
Tony Stark landed in front of Hulk with an incomparably dominant posture, and shouted at Hulk in an arrogant tone.
Hulk, who was venting his anger, was immediately attracted by Tony Stark.
He instantly abandoned the car that had been flattened into an Iron Man Armor in front of him and turned to face the Iron Man Armor.
"Roar!"
He opened his mouth and roared at Tony Stark.
Boom boom boom!
And then, Hulk said nothing more.
He began to charge towards Tony Stark like a small mountain, incomparably dominant.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Seeing this, Tony Stark instantly flew up into the air with a whoosh, actively flying towards Hulk.
In the blink of an eye, he flew in front of Hulk, raised his Iron Man fist, and slammed it hard at Hulk.
Clang!
But before he could even touch Hulk, Hulk punched the Iron Man Armor first.
Accompanied by a crisp metallic clang, Iron Man was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
