Chapter 239: Belief in Victory

Baron Strucker actually didn't care much about those three children.

He's just a thorn in SHIELD, and Hydra has no shortage of this kind of character.

What he really wanted to hide was the existence of the superhuman orphanage.

That is the loss that Hydra cannot bear!

Without further ado.

The baron stood up and walked to the terminal room, where all the information about the manor was stored.

Hope it's not too late, he prayed in his heart.

There are also Hydra soldiers deployed in the manor. I believe that it is not that simple for those two people to break through——

Bar?

…

Tony and Steve walked side by side in the corridor of the manor, their heavy footsteps making the wooden floor creak.

"I thought you were a prudent enough person."

Tony shook his head and said. He stretched out his hand in one direction and fired a palm cannon to knock away an enemy rushing from the corner.

"In the end you were so reckless?"

"It's not recklessness, it's called faith, the belief that you will win."

Steve threw the shield in his hand, and the flight path of the buckler kept colliding and turning in the corridor, and several reinforced soldiers also fell down.

He stretched out his hand to catch the flying shield: "And the fact that you can say this means that you haven't studied me very much."

At this time, Jarvis also echoed in Tony's ear: "That's true, Mr. Stark, Captain America has always been known for his bold actions."

"Like the Battle of Clausburg?" Tony blurted out.

This was Captain America's official first battle, and his father Howard fought alongside him.

For this reason, Howard boasted in front of Tony for more than ten years.

Until he dies.

In this regard, Tony investigated the entire process of the Battle of Klausberg in detail, and then was surprised to discover the truth of the matter.

In that battle, Steve faced off against an entire Hydra fortress, and Howard was just responsible for flying the plane to send him there.

The so-called side by side probably only existed when Steve was sitting in the passenger seat.

Oh no, the person sitting in the passenger seat was Peggy Carter.

So from beginning to end, Howard never worked side by side with Steve.

"I actually infiltrated into that battle, but my infiltration failed and I was forced to break out."

Steve heard Tony talking about the Battle of Fort Cross and explained, "I didn't really know what to do at the time, and there were hostages in the fortress, but it's different now."

Now he can completely change his infiltration method.

The two people walked all the way to the depths of the manor. Countless soldiers rushed out along the way, but they were easily dealt with.

"So far it's going well," Steve said, "I hope it will continue smoothly in the future."

"Don't forget to investigate the disappearance of the child."

Tony said, "The one who investigates the truth first is the winner."

"Then why do we still go together?"

Steve laughed dumbly, and they happened to come to a corner, next to the stairs.

"Let's split up. Let's go upstairs or continue deeper. You choose first."

"Then I'll go upstairs."

Tony said that he had long noticed through heat induction that there was a figure different from a soldier running around upstairs, and he was probably the owner of this manor.

As long as he can be caught, the truth behind the missing children will be revealed.

"Steve, then I'll take the first step."

Tony breathed fire from the soles of his feet and flew up again. He flew directly out of the corridor window, flew around the castle, and flew into a room on the second floor that looked like a data terminal.

As soon as he entered the room, the soldiers who had been ambushing him immediately used various weapons to attack him, mainly machine guns, but Iron Man remained unscathed.

"Everyone, please stop now and tell me what you have to say."

Tony said, raising his hand——

At this moment, he fired a burst of machine gun fire from his shoulder, and fired an electromagnetic pulse from his palm, killing all the soldiers.

Tony nodded, very satisfied with his record.

He is not French. When he raises his hands, he is not necessarily surrendering.

Or maybe he's taking aim.

"It was nice chatting with you," Tony said.

All the soldiers fell to the ground, making it impossible to respond.

Only one soldier lay on his stomach and complained: "Not happy at all."

"The happiest thing is to still be alive."

Tony smiled and fired another pulse casually. The soldier rolled his eyes and stopped moving. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Iron Man heads into the depths.

He spots a scientist busy at a computer terminal in another room and reaches out to knock him out with a shock wave.

Tony glanced at the computer screen, then opened Iron Man's armor and walked out of it.

A part of the nanoparticles separated from the suit formed a supporting auxiliary joint structure in Tony's legs, allowing him to walk quickly without falling.

"Turn on alert mode," Tony said.

The Iron Man suit raised his hands upon hearing this, accumulating energy in his palms so that he could launch at any time.

Then, Tony took out a small electronic device and placed it next to the computer.

The device lit up and began copying all the data in the computer terminal.

"Okay, Jarvis, you know, I want everything."

After a while, all the data was downloaded.

When the download progress bar rushed to 100%, Baron Strucker arrived belatedly. When he pushed open the door to the room, the vigilant Iron Man suit instantly turned around and aimed his palm cannon at him.

"Oh sorry, this place is full."

Tony shrugged at the baron, glanced at the other person's appearance, and was suddenly stunned.

"I have seen you, or rather, I have seen your information."

Tony frowned and said, "You are a big customer of our company and have bought a lot of arms. I remember your name is...Wolfgang von Strucker?"

He is also an old aristocrat of Germany's Zhengheiqi.

"Do you know my name?" Baron Strucker's pores became alert, "I have never personally bought your weapons."

"Oh, but you have connections with several of our big clients in Eastern Europe. Everyone knows there is a problem and we need to investigate."

Even behind the civil war in Sokovia, Baron Strucker was involved.

"It turns out that you are the owner of this manor, and this is your base camp?"

Tony pulled out the small electronic device from the terminal computer and put it into his pocket.

"I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask you, but I don't need to anymore."

With that data terminal, the entire manor's past and secrets will be opened to Tony.

The baron also realized the seriousness of the problem and shouted loudly.

"Hand over that storage disk!"

After saying that, he pulled out the pistol from his waist without hesitation and fired the bullets.

Tony was not wearing a suit, so his body could not block bullets. But in the blink of an eye, the Iron Man suit immediately turned into nanoparticles and attached to Tony's body.

Boom——

The bullet hit Tony's chest, but at this moment the other party had completed his steel attire.

Under the huge impact kinetic energy, the bullet immediately began to deform after hitting Iron Man's armor.

Until this momentum caused the bullet to crush itself into a thin metal sheet, falling to the ground without anyone picking it up.

"You were the one who made the first move."

Without saying a word, Tony blasted out a pulse, hitting Baron Strucker.

The other party fell to the ground, trembling all over, and occasionally a few strings of blue arcs appeared on his body.

"Hey, wait!"

Tony suddenly discovered that this was a golden opportunity.

Steve had said so many truths before, but Tony had been listening silently. He only summed up one experience——

When your strength has the absolute upper hand, there is no need to follow any tactics and tactics, just go ahead and wave.

"Stand up, Straker!"

Tony stepped out of the steel suit again, and the auxiliary structure formed by a few nanoparticles from the outside made him behave as usual.

He said provocatively to the Baron, "I'll give you another chance to defeat me head-on!"

The fighting skills I have been practicing hard for more than half a month must finally show some effect.

Otherwise, the beating will be in vain.

Baron Strucker slowly climbed up, and his paralyzed muscles began to recover.

Tony imitated Steve's charge, roared, and rushed towards Baron Strucker.

He came up to the Baron and knocked him to the ground. The Baron broke free with his feet and got up again.

Tony lunged at him again and they crashed through a door, falling hard to the floor of a room full of computers.

Stark stood up vigorously, and the fighting skills he learned through being beaten came to his mind at this time.

He finally hugged the baron and fired a guillotine, causing the baron to lose consciousness.

"call--"

Tony took a long breath, let go of his hands, and the baron's body fell to the ground.

"I win!"

Tony cheered loudly. He defeated a powerful enemy by relying on his own strength!

Suddenly there was applause outside the door.

Steve walked in, saw the scene in front of him, and said, "Okay, Stark, I underestimated you."

Half a month ago, the opponent was still a rookie who didn't understand combat at all.

Half a month later, he was able to rely on using electromagnetism to paralyze the opponent's muscles and then fight head-on to achieve victory.

Tony Stark, he accomplished something he could brag about to future generations!

"When did you come?" Tony asked Steve.

"While you're fighting."

Steve said, "I searched all over the first floor, but there was nothing related to intelligence. Then I understood that the real target was on the second floor."

But when they actually went upstairs, they saw Baron Stark fighting again.

Tony relied solely on his physical fitness and fighting skills to defeat Baron Strucker, who had limited combat power.

"You win."

Steve glanced at the computer screen behind Tony. This was an area he was not good at.

He had never thought that the baron would keep all kinds of information in an information-based manner.

If he had known earlier, Steve would have been more proactive.

Of course, since computers or information technology are now involved, Steve's chances of winning have been infinitely close to zero.

"You can go see your father openly now."

Steve said, "What time is it, tonight?"

"Absolutely." Tony said, "If nothing else, it will be tonight."

He wants to follow the owls and go to the place where the souls of the dead are.

Steve was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Can you take one with me?"

"Um?"

Tony was puzzled, "I'm going to see my parents, what's the matter with you?"

"Howard is my friend after all," Steve said, "and Paige would be happy to know she could see Howard again."

Tony was speechless and didn't know how to reply.

The relationship isn't just for Steve, but Paige is also involved.

He really just went to have a family reunion!

"Okay."

Tony finally compromised. Thinking carefully, Howard was important to Steve, and at the same time, Steve was also very important to Howard.

Not only did Steve protect the United States, but Steve was also Howard's most important friend.

If they could meet again, his father would be happy.

"Then let's meet at Stark Tower tonight."

Tony said, "Remember, don't be late."

If he upset the owls, his hope of seeing his parents for the last time would be shattered.

"My memory is very good!"

...

Tony returned to his manor wearing the Iron Man suit.

He first uploaded the collected data to Jarvis, which had a permission lock, and Tony couldn't crack it for a while.

With something to do, Jarvis immediately devoted himself to the cracking work.

And Tony finally had the energy to deal with something else.

For example -

Bruce, the senior brother of the Owl School.

In the United States, the name Bruce is really common. Almost everyone knows a few Bruces in their lives.

But this time, Tony had a vague intuition.

That translating owl might be able to turn into a human, and Bruce is indeed his real name.

As for who he is specifically.

Tony thinks it is not difficult to guess. In this world, there is a very special Bruce.

That is the nightmare of the military, Bruce Banner who can transform into a monster!

"So, Banner's ability to transform into a monster comes from the Owl School?"

The more Tony thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Since Banner can turn into a big green guy, he can naturally turn into other small lives, such as some birds that represent bad luck.

"No wonder the military has been unable to find Banner. It turns out that he has joined the Owl School and turned into an owl!"

If this is the case, then when I see the translating owl again, I really have to have a good chat with each other.

...

As the night gradually fell, when the clock hands approached eight o'clock, Katum and Bruce appeared in Tony's room.

The conversation between the two was still translated by Bruce.

"Are you ready?" Katum said to Tony, "Next, I will turn you into a soul form and go to see Howard."

"Wait a little longer."

Tony couldn't help but say, he was looking forward to it now, hoping that Captain America would appear in front of him earlier.

Otherwise, Steve would have to miss this opportunity to meet Howard.

I don't know when the next time will be.

While Tony's waiting was trying to buy him time, Steve quickly appeared in the sky and then entered Stark's room.

"Now everyone is finally here."

Katum had already guessed who Tony was waiting for, so he didn't take the initiative to ask Tony about it.

It's just adding Steve, a matter of more people and more pairs of chopsticks.

Now that we are here, we should make the best of it.
