Chapter 162 Bucky and Steve are attacked
"Something important?" Russell asked, puzzled.
But after glancing at Tony's relieved expression and Pepper's helpless yet amused look, she instantly understood what was going on.
Tony is using him as a shield!
As a good brother, Russell naturally
"No, it's alright at all, Tony, you go ahead with your work. I'll have a drink first."
Russell walked to the shop window, casually picked out a non-alcoholic beverage, and started drinking it by himself.
Tony Stark, a billionaire.
The beverages in his home are of guaranteed quality.
However, although Russell said it was nothing serious, Pepper Potts let Tony off the hook after this interruption.
Chili got up to make coffee for Tony and asked Russell if he wanted a cup too.
Russell refused; he didn't like coffee.
So he ordered a hot cocoa to take back to Gwen later.
This is Gwen's favorite drink.
"Russell, is something wrong? Is it about that hammer?"
Tony walked to a spot not too far from Russell and sat down.
"Yes."
"Jarvis, talk to Russell."
Seeing Russell nod, Tony asked Jarvis to explain the intelligence he had gathered to Russell.
"The data comes from the databases of S.H.I.E.L.D., the FBI, the CIA, and the newly formed S.W.O.R.D.; there are seven such hammers."
"Including the hammer that Mr. Stark took, there are now four hammers under control."
"Of the remaining three hammers, one fell into the depths of the Pacific Ocean, one fell in Africa, and one fell in Paris, France."
"Stop, stop, stop. Tony, that's not what I'm here to talk about."
Russell quickly interrupted, explaining that he wasn't there to inquire where the hammers had landed.
Tony gave him a questioning look.
Seeing Tony's questioning look, Russell explained:
"Tony, I'm just here to remind you to be careful. These hammers will grant the selected user considerable power once chosen."
"Also, if you need help, you can go to Thor and Loki. They should be happy to help."
“Russell, aren’t you going to do anything about this?” Tony asked.
The safety hazards of these hammers are obvious.
“Tony, everyone has their role. I need to face other enemies—enemies you can't handle.”
Russell didn't say the last part aloud, but Tony still understood it.
"Besides, others may not welcome my involvement."
Russell shrugged and said bluntly.
“Other countries will not give up their sovereignty. If I interfere too much, I will only be seen as meddling.”
You can't rush things. You have to wait for the right opportunity to do things; you can't force it.
Although Russell could already be considered a native of his homeland on Earth, and even in the universe.
But he had no intention of ruling, nor did he want to do anything unnecessary; he only wanted a peaceful life.
Anyway, as long as the Earth doesn't explode, that's a minor issue.
If the Earth were to explode, we could simply use time magic to reverse time and restore it; it wouldn't be a big deal.
Tony realized this as well, nodded, and said nothing more.
He just frowned and pondered how to achieve perfection and minimize the damage.
Tony's excessive sense of responsibility stems from his confidence, even arrogance, which is a major characteristic of Iron Man.
A moment later, Little Chili came over with coffee and hot cocoa.
Seeing Tony's furrowed brow, she knew that Russell's visit this time was definitely not good.
Tony didn't realize what was happening until Pepper placed the coffee in front of him, and he quickly composed himself.
Seeing this, Pepper said helplessly, "I know, you must have run into some trouble again. You don't need to hide it from me, Tony." "No, it's nothing."
Tony's first reaction was to be stubborn, but when he saw Pepper's eyes turn dangerous, he changed his tune.
"Okay, there is a little trouble, but only a little. And I will definitely not be in danger. You know, I am super strong now."
Just then, Jarvis's voice rang out again.
"Sir, this is an urgent message from Avengers Commander Maria Hill. Should I open it?"
"Open."
Bucky and Steve have been attacked and are requesting backup. Coordinates: xxx, xxx
Upon seeing the message, Tony's expression changed. He quickly summoned his battle suit, put it on, and opened a portal to provide support.
Maria Hill resigned from S.H.I.E.L.D., which had been marginalized and severely weakened, after dealing with Hydra a while ago.
Now, employed by Tony, he is the commander of the Avengers.
The Avengers were also separated from S.H.I.E.L.D. and handed over to Tony Stark.
In some ways, the Avengers are now a subordinate organization of Kamar-Taj.
Therefore, the Avengers roster has also changed.
Blade Eric leaves, Quicksilver Pietro joins.
Watching Tony leave in a hurry, without even having a sip of coffee, Pepper sighed.
Compared to the young master she knew before, she preferred the compassionate and responsible Tony she knew now.
But it would be even better if he expressed his compassion and sense of responsibility not by fighting in an iron suit.
"Russell, aren't you going over there?" Little Chili asked, puzzled, seeing Russell still sitting there, sipping his drink.
"That's their Avengers' business, it has nothing to do with me."
"Russell, aren't you an Avenger?" Pepper Potts asked, even more confused.
She had always thought that Russell was also a member of the Avengers.
After all, Russell often worked with the Avengers.
"No, I'm not an Avenger."
Russell smiled.
"I am God."
Shortly after Tony emerged from the portal, Pietro arrived as well.
Maria Hill only informed the two of them.
Only the two of them possess the teleportation spell, giving them the ability to provide rapid support.
What Tony and Pietro saw was Bucky, whose metal left arm had been torn off and whose chest had been pierced, and who had already lost all vital signs.
Steve, meanwhile, was bleeding profusely and lay unconscious nearby.
As for his iconic vibranium shield, it was discarded to the side.
“What’s going on, Mr. Stark? Have you found anything?” Pietro asked.
He pinned his hopes on Tony, who had arrived earlier and had the help of the AI Jarvis to analyze the data, to discover some clues.
Tony remained silent and shook his head.
Although he and Bucky had some unpleasant past issues, those are now behind them.
Steve hasn't left the Avengers yet; he's still one of their comrades.
Seeing one of them dead and the other seriously injured, he was also very upset.
"Let's take them back first. Steve needs treatment now."
Tony gestured to Pietro, and the two of them, each carrying one, took the two back to the base.
Afterwards, return to the battlefield through the portal.
Search the vicinity to see if you can find the murderer.
However, after searching for a long time, they ultimately found nothing.
