The corners of Luke's mouth twitched when he saw this tortoise burrowing technique. Tony had just crawled into the sewers last night, and it was the director's turn today.
Sure enough, if you wanted to be a superhero, you had to be familiar with dark, damp, and narrow sewers.
As a matter of fact, even the mxxfxxkman, who stood on a skyscraper every day and looked down on the country, couldn't escape this either.
Thankfully, according to Luke's investigations in the last few months, the sewers here were much cleaner. After all, the population was much lower than in New York.
The mxxfxxkman's burrowing journey shouldn't be too difficult.
Nick Fury was injured? Luke only wanted to chuckle at that.
This guy had the Life Dagger and Life One in his hands.
Both of them were "magic" healing drugs.
Given Director Ludan's personality, he would definitely keep one to protect his life.
Unless he saw Nick Fury's head explode on the spot, Luke wouldn't believe that this guy's stand-in was dead.
When they had talked about how Nick Fury had been "killed" several times, Luke had casually asked, "Stand-In?" Phil's expression didn't change, but his mental fluctuations proved it.
Also, Phil had bought a few pairs of mechanical gloves and nano gloves from Luke.
If Nick Fury didn't have them with him, he could only blame his bad luck.
Thus, it was pure daydreaming for Hydra to kill Nick Fury, the master of faking his death.
The only advantage of assassinating him was that the director would "die in the line of duty," and Hydra inside S.H.I.E.L.D. would then be able to openly take over the highest authority.
This was what it meant to be "true," and "false."
Complaining about the mxxfxxkman in his heart, Luke went back to his work.
He simply sent the news of Nick Fury's attack to the members of Team Bat, including Tony, through a special channel.
The tycoon, who was equally busy, had a dark expression on his face when he read the news.
He had only informed Nick Fury last night that Hydra was after the airship, and this morning, the guy was besieged on the street.
That was Washington, D.C.
In broad daylight, during the morning rush hour, more than a dozen "police cars" and dozens of fully-armed "police officers" were dispatched to chase the S.H.I.E.L.D. director's car.
Tony could imagine that there should be quite a few terrorist organizations preparing to speak and claim responsibility for this incident.
Then, this matter was very reasonable.
After all, terrorists never used their brains when they did things.
After thinking for a moment, he put aside this trivial matter and continued with his work, just like Luke.
He and Luke had a clear division of labor.
Luke was mainly in charge of "military support" for this operation, and Tony couldn't show up directly.
The tycoon's identity was too sensitive, unlike Luke, who was a vigilante who could go back on his word after switching identities.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was a rotten pit. If Tony got involved now, it would likely be used as an excuse to attack.
He could either destroy the evidence or sacrifice the rook to save the king. He could choose either one, and it just so happened that he was helping some people take the thunder.
Tony and Luke weren't idiots. Of course, they couldn't sacrifice themselves to make Hydra so comfortable.
Nikfuri's opinion was the same.
This fellow's escape was most likely an attempt to escape.
After a few months, of course, time is far from enough, but Nikfred knows that there will never be enough time to completely clean up Hydra.
When the time came, he decisively handed over a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hidden resources to Tony.
How much he could take would depend on the tycoon's ability.
These resources basically weren't money. S.H.I.E.L.D. had been short on money recently, and Tony didn't care for it.
What Nikfuri gave Tony were all kinds of top-secret intelligence, scientific research materials, and mysterious things.
Of course, he would keep the things that had already been transferred.
He told Tony to take care of a lot of things that couldn't be taken away in advance and might fall into Hydra's hands.
Nikfuri hadn't come up with this idea on the spur of the moment. He had been preparing for months, and was now simply sending a description of these resources to Tony.
As for Luke, of course, he didn't have a share.
If he gave it to the Almighty Merchant, the other party might be able to take it, but Nikfuri wasn't stupid.
If he gave it to Tony now, he could still shamelessly ask the tycoon for some when he wanted to use it.
If he gave it to the Almighty Merchant, the other party might not take it lying down.
With such a huge profit, Nikfuri wouldn't trust a mysterious businessman with no roots.
Tony wouldn't be able to run even if he wanted to, and Stark Industries wouldn't disappear instantly.
What Nikfuri didn't know was that Tony had told Luke about it, and asked the Almighty Merchant if he wanted to take over some of the resources.
Luke regretted it for a moment, but still refused.
The reason he gave Tony was that the bigshot didn't like this kind of troublesome business.
At that time, Tony had an expression that said, "You must be kidding me."
But compared with things that required a lot of resources, manpower, and material resources to take away, he preferred experience and credit points.
Besides, weren't Tony's abilities Luke's abilities too?
Given the tycoon's personality, he would definitely go through the most valuable things.
As long as Luke refreshed the list of his teammate's abilities, he would have everything.
In the end, he added, "The bigshot said that we can trade for technology and resources from both sides."
Tony, who had cut off the communication, was dubious, but he couldn't help but mutter inwardly, What kind of businessman are you with such business ethics?
Business ethics had always been a tool for capitalists to accumulate wealth.
On one hand, it was a way for the public to see the bright side, and on the other hand, it was a way to suppress other competitors.
But did the Almighty Merchant need such a thing? Obviously, there was no need.
A supplier at the top of a monopoly focused on quality, not quantity, and didn't need any business ethics at all.
As long as his "high-end customers" were willing to trust him, that was enough.
For example, those who believed in a certain "divine doctor" or "master" wouldn't believe it even if someone said they were a scammer.
Mere rumors wouldn't stop divine doctors and masters from making money at all.
…
But things weren't that simple.
Less than an hour later, Frank sent another "congratulatory message." "I heard that Black Egg is dead. His body is now lying in Central Hospital. "
Luke unhurriedly put down the remote-controlled robot in a sewer. "Okay, got it."
Frank said, "I heard that he was turned into a hornet's nest."
Luke covered the remote-controlled robot with an optical camouflage cape. "Did his head explode?"
Frank said, "If his head exploded, there's no way to prove that he was the one who died."
Luke hummed in acknowledgment. "At least his body was intact. Consider it a blessing from God."
Frank: "…"
The communication was cut off.
Of course, Madcap wouldn't die.
As the saying went, scourges lived for a thousand years. Nick Fury could basically be considered a scourge; it wouldn't be so easy for him to die.
Besides, according to the deal between Red Egg and Tony, this guy would be in huge trouble if he was "alive."
And if he died just like that, he would be promoted to a "decent former director" who had been assassinated by SNAKE SHIELD.
After that, it would never be his turn to take the blame for S.H.I.E.L.D., a dead man.
After all, the person who took the blame had to be alive, and couldn't be turned into a sieve in public.
