"Jarvis, contact Leo. Since he sent me this video, he must know something!"
"No matter the cost, I need to know Bucky's whereabouts, dead or alive!" Tony said coldly.
His voice was deep and chilling, like the biting wind of winter, making one shiver.
His heart was cold, and only revenge could rekindle its warmth.
"Yes, sir!"
Jarvis immediately began contacting Leo, and the call connected instantly.
"Tony, you're probably looking for Bucky's address, right? Or whether he's dead or alive?"
Before Tony could speak, Leo's calm voice came through.
This was his strategy. Tony didn't know Leo's ultimate goal, but he didn't care.
He only wanted revenge; nothing else mattered. Whatever Leo wanted, Tony didn't care.
Tony asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you want? Anything I can give you, I will!"
This time, he was giving everything, no matter what! Even if it meant losing everything, he would do it.
Leo knew Tony was serious, but besides the Iron Man Armor, Tony didn't care about anything else.
So Leo directly stated his request:
"I need the blueprints for every future generation of your Iron Man Armor, and of course, samples."
"Good! I agree!"
Tony didn't hesitate for half a second and immediately agreed.
Leo wasn't surprised. The hatred for a murdered father was irreconcilable.
Let alone this price, even if it were higher, Tony could afford it.
Tony was straightforward, and Leo was just as direct.
"Bucky is currently recuperating at Peggy Carter's house. He's alive and well, completely unchanged after being injected with the Infinity Formula."
"I think this is the best news for you, isn't it?"
Leo said with a smile. This was exactly what he wanted; the stronger the opponent, the more satisfying the kill.
"Heh heh, you're right!"
Tony chuckled coldly and immediately hung up the phone, a wider smile spreading across his face.
Bucky is alive and well. Good. That makes it interesting!
It's more satisfying to kill a strong opponent.
If Bucky were an old man who couldn't even walk, that would be boring.
"Jarvis, prioritize the manufacture of the Mark III. I want revenge!"
Tony didn't immediately go after Bucky alone. He knew Captain America Steve was there and would definitely help Bucky.
He needed a complete plan, one that would strike true and give the enemy no chance to breathe.
Tony began transporting large quantities of alloys, auxiliary materials, weapons, and ammunition from Stark Industries.
He would manufacture ten Iron Man Armors at once and put them under Jarvis's control; only then could he feel at ease. Revenge could not fail.
Give him half a day, and everything would be settled.
Meanwhile, high-ranking officials of various countries were in despair. HYDRA had resurfaced, and they were thriving.
That meant their own lives would not be so comfortable. Ignorance is bliss; they didn't know before, but now they did.
Would HYDRA, fearing retaliation after being exposed, choose to strike first and launch a frantic sneak attack on these high-ranking officials?
The answer was known only to Heaven, but they had to be prepared.
They began deploying various plans against HYDRA, initiating a "dig three feet deep" mode.
As for their plans against Leo, they truly didn't know how to deal with him.
Prevention was necessary, but it felt like a tiger trying to eat the sky.
He was openly present, yet you couldn't target such a god-like figure.
Frustrating!
The only ones at ease were the Dragon Nation, because Leo was one of their own.
Other countries were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Why didn't they have such a powerful figure behind them?
This was a humanoid infinite nuclear bomb; no one could afford to provoke such an existence, and no one dared.
The most conflicted were the U.S. high-ranking officials.
They knew this humanoid nuclear bomb was on their soil, and such an existence terrified them.
If something were to happen, it could directly trigger internal chaos. Who could handle that?
The battlefield would be within the U.S., setting their economy back years.
While the officials were in despair, the U.S. populace outside was even worse off.
With Red Queen's operation, the video was instantly pushed to major social media platforms and portals, prominently displayed at the top of the headlines.
Everyone watched in silence, then watched in tears.
The most terrifying thing was the silence.
Silence was just the brief calm before the storm, which would usher in the most dreadful disaster.
Howard had been beaten to death, dying tragically, pleading desperately for someone to save his wife.
Everyone was enraged. Furious. It consumed them.
They left messages on various websites, demanding severe punishment for the killer.
Even more people took to the streets, heading straight for S.H.I.E.L.D., which was no longer a secret, having already been exposed by Leo.
Why directly attack S.H.I.E.L.D.? For no other reason than that the one who brutally murdered Howard and his wife was Bucky Barnes, a member of the Howling Commandos.
This commando unit, renowned throughout all of America, had achieved remarkable military feats and was Captain America Steve's team.
Now, Steve was at S.H.I.E.L.D.
They demanded an explanation. Bucky Barnes was a disgrace and didn't deserve a name.
As his Captain and brother, Steve had to give everyone an explanation.
He was a superhero, but Howard had created countless weapons; he was also a hero protecting America.
