Chapter 130 - Chapter 129: America's Crisis of Confidence

While Tony was having a good time, some people felt like they had fallen into an abyss. 

The sudden shift in circumstances and tone sent a chilling wind through the hearts of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Because Agent Coulson and the others had seen the evidence Tony provided—and they truly couldn't refute it!

Many other secret and high-level agencies were even more terrified, trembling like sieves. 

If S.H.I.E.L.D. could be infiltrated like this, then what about their own operations?

Whether present or watching on TV, everyone faced the same terrifying truth.

In an instant, everyone's backs were drenched in cold sweat, their faces drained of color, pale as ghosts.

Who could have imagined that colleagues and leaders they interacted with daily might actually be HYDRA operatives? That meant no one had any secrets left in front of them.

Thinking of such a scenario, they could foresee dying without ever knowing why—and that included their families.

Suddenly, a wave of self-preservation surged through everyone. 

Colleagues were now regarded with eyes full of suspicion. Trust vanished in an instant. 

Society plunged into a crisis where no one appeared trustworthy.

HYDRA, thought to have been destroyed by Captain America and others, had instead risen from the ashes, retreating into darkness, now more mysterious and terrifying than ever.

Hidden in the shadows, Steve Rogers turned pale. 

He never expected that, despite seemingly destroying HYDRA, their main base had been secretly overtaken by others.

Hahaha!

He felt like a fool, once proud of his past victories. How must the HYDRA members have laughed at him?

Then Steve's eyes hardened.

If I could destroy you once, I can do it twice.

Killing these rats would be as simple as stepping on a line of ants.

In that case, Captain America Steve Rogers would descend once more. Tremble, filthy rats.

If you were to ask whose face looked the worst at this moment, it wasn't Steve—but the infamous, cursing Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D.

His face, already dark as charcoal, now carried a sickly pallor, though mostly it was an expression of extreme grimness.

Nick Fury clenched his fists, trembling slightly. His heart raced like a storm, as if he were trapped in a nightmare.

This isn't real! This isn't real! It's a dream!

He had believed his proudest achievement was becoming the Director of the behemoth S.H.I.E.L.D., leading it to unprecedented power.

But now? This was Snake-S.H.I.E.L.D.! All these years of effort, completely exploited by someone else!

He refused to accept it. He disbelieved everything Tony said. 

How could it be possible? S.H.I.E.L.D. under his command was actually full of enemies?

No! He couldn't believe it! Absolutely not! This was slander!

Stunned, he was speechless. Was this really the S.H.I.E.L.D. he led? He didn't believe it—he had led Snake-S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Unable to accept the truth, Nick Fury roared in the courtroom:

"Mr. Tony Stark, how do you prove that all this evidence is real? Did you fabricate it yourself? This is a false accusation! I will sue you for slander and defamation of the great S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

His roar sounded like a death throe, filled with hysteria.

"Director Nick Fury, are you, a HYDRA senior official, getting anxious?"

"You—!"

Nick Fury glared at Tony, pointing furiously.

"'You' what, Director Fury? If you weren't a HYDRA senior official, then why did Pierce push you into the position of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director? Was he bored? Wouldn't he use his own people?"

"If you weren't a HYDRA senior official, why did you cover for the HYDRA soldier Bucky Barnes, who killed my parents? And even send several agents to help him?"

Tony's words were sharp and relentless, attacking in waves, making each step a perilous ordeal for Nick Fury.

Faced with Tony's questioning, Nick Fury's body trembled, and he took two steps back, knocking over a chair. 

Wide-eyed, he stared at Tony in terror.

"You!!"

"You!!"

Nick Fury realized he had no way to refute Tony. Each question left him speechless.

Why was this happening? He almost began to believe he was HYDRA.

If not, why would Pierce push him like this? Was he brainwashed? Was it a fantasy? Am I even Nick Fury?

Then I'm certainly not HYDRA! Fuck!

Was he going to let Tony Stark manipulate him like this?

He opened his mouth, unable to think of a single reply. Confusion swallowed him. Who am I? Where am I?

Motor-mouth Tony had pushed him to the brink of questioning his own existence.

Thump thump thump!

"Silence! Silence!"

"Their matter is not my responsibility now; the highest-level meeting will decide. You two stop arguing."

"This court now sentences the defendant, Bucky Barnes!"

The Chief Justice banged her gavel, stopping their bickering—until she was interrupted.

"Wait!"

Everyone froze. Who dared interrupt the Chief Justice?

All eyes turned toward the sound. A figure, with only his eyes visible, burst in, casually knocking aside the guards.

How could anyone tolerate this? Go straight for him! Was he suicidal?

The court guards immediately opened fire. Breaking into a courtroom? Death awaited him.

Bang bang bang!

But the newcomer remained unmoved. Bullets hit him with loud clanging sounds, dozens of them, but he didn't flinch.

"Fuck! Is this a monster?"

"Run! Run! It's a mutant!"

"My god! Help! Is that an Iron Monster?"

They weren't fearless—they feared death more than anything. 

The crowd scattered like headless flies, chaos erupting as people trampled each other.

The newcomer, of course, was Steve. He wouldn't kill indiscriminately; he only wanted to take Bucky.

Striding to the defendant's stand, he grabbed Bucky and immediately launched into the air, flying off at incredible speed.

Tony was stunned. He recognized Steve—but had he mutated again? How was this possible?

"Jarvis, let's chase him!"

Tony quickly donned his Mark V suitcase armor and gave pursuit.
