Right now.
Even a fool like Christine knew that he was being tricked.
"Bang!"
"ah!"
The moment the door of the interrogation room was closed, Christine slammed the table with both hands and let out a roar of anger.
Outside.
Beckett made the call after watching his lawyer being taken away.
"Ms. Potts, can you look it up?"
"Can."
"Thanks."
On the top floor of the Stark Industries building, Pepper Potts hung up the phone and then looked at Tony Stark, who was working hard with his hands in front of the huge, sci-fi projection screen, and said, "Inspector Edwin has already set off."
Tony said without turning his head, "This address is very hidden, and it seems to contain an artificial intelligence that is no less powerful than Jarvis. I need some time."
Pepper frowned and said, "Similar to Jarvis. I thought you said Jarvis was unique."
Tony paused for a moment, then resumed his fight. "Yes, Jarvis is unique, so this artificial intelligence that appeared out of nowhere can't stop me."
Pepper said, "Lake said this might be our only chance to fish. If we can't find the mastermind, we must not let them realize they are being tracked."
Tony turned to look at Pepper, "Ms. Potts, you are my secretary."
Are you jealous?
Oh.
You've made me jealous much more than this.
Pepper thought so in his heart, spread his hands and said, "I'm just reminding you, Boss, we only have this one chance."
Tony: "…"
At the same time.
In a room somewhere in the Federation, because of Christine's alarm, Hydra once again pulled the emergency assembly button.
In a dim room.
Swish, swish, swish.
Several people wearing glasses and of different ages appeared in the room and sat in their seats.
"What's going on, Stern."
"The NYPD tracked down that witness."
"What?"
"I thought the case was closed once again after we sacrificed an insignificant minor character."
"Yes, our people didn't get any wind of it before."
"What do we do now?"
"That case must be kept secret. We are at a critical juncture now, and it is not the time to expose it yet."
"That Inspector Edwin has already left for Jersey City to pick up the witness."
"Kill him."
"You're crazy. Don't forget, this Lake Edwin has connections with the military. Our people are evaluating whether we can recruit Ross to join us."
"This guy has been chasing us all the time. If we don't get rid of him, we will all be threatened with exposure."
"I disagree."
"So what do you say we should do, Alexander? I remember that because of this guy, the successor you favored was transferred to the Secret Service Academy."
"In short, I disagree. I feel that this Lake Edwin is more terrifying than we imagined."
"Then we must get rid of it."
"You can go if you want. Anyway, I don't agree. Don't forget, the deaths of Howard Stark and his wife were not our orders. I know you admire Bucky Barnes, but don't expose us because of this."
Finished.
Alexander took off his glasses, and his projection instantly disappeared in the dark room.
Alexander, who was in his office, rubbed his brows and looked at the written information about Lake in his hand.
Alexander was not aware of Nick Fury's last action. After all, he was now ready to be promoted to the Security Council.
but...
Who knew Nick Fury would give him such a big surprise.
It was just a simple operation to recruit agents, but it was messed up. Not only that, but it also offended the military. He was forced to go to the Attorney General and ask the FBI to recognize the identities of Coulson and others. This saved Coulson and others from the terrible fate of going to a military court.
Everyone knows what happened after that.
Because of this incident, Nick Fury was completely blamed. No matter how much Alexander admired Nick Fury, he had to temporarily transfer Nick Fury from the Three Flies to the Secret Service Academy.
but...
Alexander has not given up on Nick Fury. In fact, through this incident, Alexander suddenly felt that Nick Fury's stupidity was actually a good thing for him.
Compared with Maria Hill from another faction, Alexander feels that if Nick Fury comes to power, he can still secretly control the actions of S.H.I.E.L.D.
In a dim room.
The remaining few people looked at each other.
"What do we do now?"
"This matter must be buried. Once the truth of this matter is exposed, we will be exposed too."
"Activate the Winter Soldier."
"You're crazy, Daniel."
"I'm not crazy. If he wants it, then give it to him, as long as he lives to take it."
"…"
After hearing Sunil's words, several people fell silent.
Although...
The Winter Soldier is now being used by them, but they are merely users. It was not them who rescued the Winter Soldier from under the glacier and gave him the ability to remain immortal.
"And our [Cloning Project] has been successful. Since this guy wants the murderer, then give it to him. If he has the guts to do it, then let him get it."
"…I have no objection."
"I have my reservations."
"I'm getting old, and I need a break."
"…"
After hearing what Sunil said, the other four people were silent for a while, each of them said something cunningly, and then went offline.
Jersey City!
A helicopter from the New York Police Department landed steadily on top of the Jersey City Police Department building.
Lake bent down and walked off the plane.
"Inspector Edwin, what you requested is ready."
"grateful!"
Lake shook hands with the Jersey City Police Department detective to express his gratitude.
A very ordinary private car.
On the passenger seat, a death row prisoner who had signed an agreement in a New York prison half a month ago was already on standby. However, if you looked inside the car, you would find that the prisoner's feet were restrained inside the car.
The death row inmate, who was about to be executed by injection, signed an experimental agreement that was very confidential.
As for the content of the agreement?
Lake is preparing to take this person to the New York Police Department. If the experiment is successful, he will be exempted from the death penalty and his sentence will be transferred from death penalty to fixed-term sentence.
As for why he had to take such an ordinary private car from Jersey City, the death row inmate did not think about it. In fact, he signed the agreement without even thinking about it.
Lake felt no apology to the condemned man for what might happen next.
In Lake's mind, this is just a recycling of waste.
If this death row prisoner is really not dead, then we can only say that God is taking care of him.
Half an hour later.
After completing the handover procedures in Jersey City, Lake got into a private car outside and took the death row prisoner on the road.
