“We are sorry”

"Mr. Howard has paid too much for the country in his life"

"We will do our best"

"Please mourn"

Nick Fury, wearing a black suit and expressing his condolences, stood in the drizzle of drizzle, looking at the Stark family mansion in front of him.

He could see the gorgeous building full of cars coming to pay tribute, and the young man in a white shirt, with the help of the butler, with the help of the butler, his face was extremely pale and shaky.

That's Tony Stark.

Mr. Howard Stark and Ms. Maria's only son, the heir to Stark's industry, a famous genius, a bohemian playboy.

But now, he has lost all his halo, and now, he is just a 19-year-old young man who has lost his parents.

"I thought Tony had a bad relationship with his father."

Agent Freer whispered:

"But he is obviously in pain. The rumors from the outside world are fake, right?"

"Howard is really not very good at dealing with his son. He can speak frankly to everyone, but when facing Tony, he becomes a strict father. But I know that he loves Tony very much and he is willing to give everything for Tony."

Next to Fury is a woman wearing a black dress with a cane.

A little white flower symbolizing mourning was inserted on her clothes. Behind her, a young girl held an umbrella for her, and the girl's face was 6 points similar to that of this lady.

The lady had clusters of white hair in her black hair, and her face was no longer young, but she could vaguely see her former charm. The shining light in her eyes and the cold temperament on her body both mean that this is a true ruler.

Her name is Page Carter, and she is the girlfriend of Captain America Steve Rogers, who has been missing for 46 years, and is also the current helm of the Strategic Science Legion.

She has the best group of agents in the world from World War II to the present. She is like an invisible protector, protecting this North American country for decades of losing her lover.

But in fact, Ms. Carter is a genuine British man.

"Howard died, died in a mean plot. The most shameful thing is that until now, we don't know who planned it all."

On the other side of Ms. Page was a middle-aged man holding an umbrella.

He also had gray hair, but his body was straight, like a real veteran, even when he spoke, he was filled with a cold temperament like a blade.

"No matter who they are, they are all aimed at the super soldier serum that Howard copied."

Agent Free said:

"It's a pity that all the serums have already been."

"We shouldn't have restarted this project from the beginning! It's like we shouldn't have blindly copied Pim particles before, causing Hank to leave us in anger."

The light in Ms. Peggy's eyes, who had a calm face, thundered for a moment, she said:

"This is a mistake, now we have paid for it. You have lost a top scientist in the world, and I, I have lost my best friend. I hope this will calm you down when making decisions in the future."

"Okay, I should go with my poor nephew. Pierce, Fury, let you finish the matter."

"Well, we'll do it."

Alexander Pierce, the second-person of the Strategic Science Legion, responded seriously to Ms. Page.

After watching Ms. Page and her niece walk into Howard's mansion, Pierce took a deep breath, and turned his head to look at his trusted and capable subordinate, he said:

"Fry, have you noticed it?"

"have!"

Agent Freed took two reports from his pocket and handed them to Pierce, he said:

"Our agents found some unusual energy residues at the scene. After comparison, I found that it was related to a series of paranormal phenomena that I have been chasing over the past few years. It was a young man code-named 89084, which was very mysterious. There was no clue related to him in our electronic archives, and even this person was not found in the national population archives."

Fury pursed his lips and said:

"He appears out of thin air, like a ghost."

"Two years ago, he caused an explosion in Chicago, and saved more than 200 people in a train derailment incident in Central City, and had an intersection with an ordinary couple in Central City. His last exact appearance was in Port Cien, Maine, which happened last year, and after that, we lost his trace."

"Where he goes, there will be a residue of energy left, and this time is no exception."

"Obviously, no matter why the Howards died or who was killed, the young man must have been on the scene. Unfortunately, we were unable to find his trace, not even a drop of blood. Instead, we found another source of blood. After comparison, it should be the ace killer of the former Soviet Union. We had encountered him in several missions a few years ago."

"Winter soldier, or he, the Winter Soldier."

Fury's chief, senior agent Pierce, looked at the hand-painted portrait in his hand. He narrowed his eyes as if he had found a harrier hawk. After a moment, he snapped:

"Then find them! Find these two ghosts!"

"At any cost!"

Pierce looked up at the mansion full of sadness in front of him. He shook his head, turned around and sat in the car, and said to Fury:

"Send an obituary."

"Today, this country has lost a great man. What a pity."

Merlin wore sunglasses and a baseball cap, a half-old windbreaker, and dragged her suitcase behind her back.

He walked on the street of Hell's Kitchen with his face as usual. In the early morning, Merlin felt the changes in the surrounding environment. It seemed that something had happened, and many people on the street were sad.

He came to a familiar newspaper booth and bought a few bottles of water and food, as well as a newspaper. When he saw the newspaper's headline, Merlin widened his eyes.

In front of him, in the head of the newspaper, a line of words was written in bold and enlarged font:

"The Fall of the Giant: Howard and Maria died in a car accident, and the whole country mourned."

Below the title, there was a black and white photo, which was a serious and graceful middle-aged man. Although he had never heard of this name, Merlin could still see at a glance that the photo was clearly the old man who died in his arms last night.

Under the cover of this newspaper, there is also an introduction to Howard Stark's wonderful life.

To be honest, this is not the first time he has come into contact with Stark Industry. When he fled with Bruce last year, Merlin also rode Stark Industry's freighter and rescued several people on the freighter.

He dragged his suitcase and walked forward while reading the newspaper in his hand. After reading this, Meilin realized that the old couple last night were really a great figure.

Howard Stark's family made a fortune very early. It is said that it was one of the first Puritan families to immigrate to North America, and it has a long history on this land.

Howard is a real genius. When he became an adult, he continued to invent mechanical creations with great influence on his own. In World War I and World War II, weapons designed by Howard appeared, and he and his family also made great profits.

The Stark family is one of the wealthiest families in North America, and Howard himself is the object of worship by many young people.

He was handsome, handsome, rich, and unruly when he was young. After meeting the true destiny lady Ms. Maria, he changed his past and became the good husband in the minds of all women.

He is an outstanding entrepreneur, a philanthropist, a successful arms dealer, a playboy, an idealist, and a practical worker at the same time. It can be said that the old man's life is a true legend.

Of course, his most legendary experience was that during World War II, he worked with Dr. Urkins of the US Department of Defense to develop the world-famous "Super Soldier" serum, and successfully turned Steve Rogers into the first super soldier in history, and was also the most famous legendary hero in the United States during World War II and even now.

However, when the experiment was successful, Dr. Urkins was assassinated by agents **, and the super soldier's serum was also lost.

But there have been rumors that Howard himself actually has a complete formula for the super soldier serum, but due to the government's ban, he has never been able to publish it.

These have no meaning to Merlin. For him, the most important gain in this newspaper was that he finally knew who Mr. Howard was looking for before his death.

"Tony Stark, Mr. Howard's only son."

Merlin narrowed his eyes, and he recorded the address reported in the newspaper, and then placed the newspaper next to a homeless man. He looked up at the station in front of him, and he saw the police in front of him, obviously, they were looking for something.

Merlin pulled the baseball cap down, then turned around and dragged his suitcase into the crowd.

He is leaving the city, and it is not safe.

Mr. Howard's warning to him before his death was in mind. His experience last night told him that it was definitely not an ordinary car accident, and someone was chasing the Howards and his wife.

What's even more terrible is that he has been involved and he can't get out of it.

People like Howard who are important to kill, kill them as soon as they say they are. The forces behind that mysterious organization are unimaginable to Merlin. He will not be stupid enough to hope that they cannot find him.

Past experience has told Merlin that in such a matter of luck, it is better to make the worst plan in advance.

But before leaving, he had something to do.

After all, he had promised the old man that he had to do it.

Tony Stark sat alone in the living room.

This 19-year-old man has never been so haggard. He was wearing red pajamas and holding his parents' photo frames in his hand. His dull expression did not look like a genius at all. Instead, he seemed to have suffered huge stimulation, causing him to become autistic.

His parents died.

He went so suddenly, and the unspeakable sorrow drowned him, causing him to fall into it and unable to extricate himself.

"Young master, you have to eat something."

Mr. Jarvis, the old butler, placed a supper in front of Tony. He looked at Tony who was in sorrow as if he was looking at his son. He didn't know how to comfort the young man.

Jarvis has been a Howard's housekeeper since he was young, and he has served the Stark family for decades. He has long been a member of the family.

He couldn't comfort Tony because the death of his best friend Howard was also affecting him.

"Mr. Obadaiya Stein is waiting for you. He is your father's partner, the executive director of Stark Industries, and the second largest shareholder of the company."

Jarvis said to Tony:

"He has a lot to hand over to you, the inheritance your father left to you, and a few houses there are still many more."

"I don't want to go! Let him wait!"

Tony gritted his teeth and said:

"Let me be quiet, Jarvis, please, let me be alone for a while."

The young man's sudden emotional outburst surprised the old housekeeper, but then he sighed and turned around.

"Okay. But you're the best food."

Jarvis left and closed the living room door, leaving Tony alone in the room. The young man held the photo frame and closed his eyes. His relationship with his father was not good, and he was even nervous.

But he never thought that the middle-aged man who was always strict would have such a great impact on him after he suddenly left.

It’s not that he doesn’t love him, he just doesn’t notice this love, and uses quarrels and confrontation to conceal this love...

And now, he lost them, forever, when he was not ready yet.

"You should eat something."

A voice suddenly appeared in front of Tony's eyes, causing the young man to open his eyes suddenly.

He saw a stranger wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses and a windbreaker standing on the other side of the table, like a ghost.

"Who are you!"

Tony stood up and shouted:

"How did you come in?"

“It doesn’t matter.”

Merlin looked at Tony in front of him. He saw the eyes that were very similar to Mr. Howard and the unruly temperament that almost came from the same source.

He put his hands in his pockets and whispered:

"I'm not here to hurt you, I'm just sending you a few words for Mr. Howard, Tony. Your father died in my arms. I'm sorry, I wanted to save your parents, but I couldn't do it."

"What's the meaning?"

Tony was a real genius. He inherited his father's amazing intelligence. He immediately heard other meanings from Merlin's words, and he stared at Merlin:

"You mean, that's not just a car accident?"

"Do you think someone like your father will die in an ordinary car accident?"

Merlin asked back, which made Tony feel a little silent.

He had this speculation long after the news of his parents' death came. Although he did not like his father, he admired his father's wisdom very much.

How could a legendary figure like his father die in a car accident where the brakes fail?

Merlin's appearance also proves his speculation.

It turns out that it's not that simple. There is indeed another secret that his father did not die in a car accident, but

murder!

"Who killed him?"

Tony gritted his teeth and asked with a twisted face. Merlin looked at his eyes, the kind of eyes filled with hatred, and he shook his head:

"I don't know. But before he died, he asked me to tell you."

"He and your mother love you very much."

After saying this, Merlin's figure was covered with shadows and decisively disappeared in front of Tony's eyes. Everything disappeared, the sound of breathing, footsteps, and even the sound of heartbeat, as if he had never appeared before.

"No! Come back! Come back!"

Tony was like crazy, shouting in this living room:

"You haven't told me yet! Who killed my parents!"
Chapter completed!
