Chapter 1438: Captured and pressured
"You know, the last time Rogers took you away, there was no cover-up, a god-like light, but many people saw it..." Howard Stark glanced at the unconscious man.
Steve Rogers continued.
"In addition, the power of the Sword in the Stone is not hidden, so it is equivalent to the appearance of two gods. What do you think will happen to the two gods in their eyes?"
"Will they believe that you can maintain your original intention, continue to obey orders, and end the battle?"
"Will they believe that you have no idea of becoming the gods of all mankind and ruling the world?"
"Will they believe that Rogers is a visitor from another universe and will leave after a while?"
"They won't believe it, because when this kind of god-like power appears in them, they won't believe that they will give up the power at their fingertips, especially since they are one of the holders of power!"
"So, when they knew that you lost the power of the Sword in the Stone and Rogers was unconscious, they saw an opportunity to gain your power or take the opportunity to remove you..."
"Then do you believe it?" Peggy Carter asked seriously after looking at Howard Stark and Bucky Barnes after being silent for a while.
"To be honest, if this power didn't appear in you and Rogers, even if it appeared in me and Bucky, I wouldn't believe it..." Howard Stark laughed after hearing this and said softly.
.
"But you are the ones who have the power. If even you have ambitions because of your power, then I think this world really deserves to be ruled by you!"
"I believe you won't!" Bucky Barnes on the side did not say so many words, but said in a firm voice, "I believe you have not forgotten the doctor's words, the heart is the source of your strength!"
"Thank you for believing in us, but it seems that we are a little out of tune with this world..." Peggy Carter said with some relief and helplessness in her heart.
"Perhaps this is the price of gaining power!" Howard Stark sighed and said softly, "Okay, you have a good rest here and let Bucky take turns guarding you, so that you can relax a little bit...
"
"My base, not to say it is impregnable, is at least safe. No outsiders will break in. There is enough food and water here. It is the doomsday fortress I created..."
"Are you still a doomsday survivalist?" Peggy Carter looked at Howard Stark in surprise and asked.
"If you have more money, you have to spend it for something. I think the cost of the Doomsday Fortress is acceptable, so I built some..." Howard Stark waved his hand indifferently and said in a Versailles-like manner.
"There is also an external monitoring device here. If you find someone coming, you can move quickly. There are other doomsday bunker passages here. After the transfer, just blow up the passage. There is no need to save money for me!"
"What about you?" Bucky Barnes looked at Howard Stark in surprise and asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will deal with you after you go out?"
"What evidence is there to prove that I helped Carter? Just because I have a good relationship with her?" Howard Stark sneered and said disdainfully, "This country is not actually decided by those in the political circles. I am in this country.
I still have a lot of say, especially since I don’t just represent myself, I am a representative of capital, and they don’t dare to touch me!”
"It's not very safe. They don't dare to deal with you openly. They might attack you secretly, just like this time. Otherwise, you should stay here!" Bucky Barnes advised.
"No! If you really want me to stay in this hellish place, I will go crazy. I am a free bird, and the Doomsday Bunker will only be my tomb!" Howard Stark waved his hand quickly and refused.
"Besides, I will ask someone to protect me. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. There are still a lot of beauties waiting for me. I don't want them to stay alone..."
Soon, Howard Stark, who exuded a dissolute atmosphere, left. Bucky Barnes finally did not keep him, and could only ask Howard Stark to send a telegram after a while to report that he was safe.
At first, Howard Stark did this, but as time went by, those operators who had been searching for Peggy Carter to no avail could not help but turn their attention to Howard Stark.
After all, the Doomsday Bunker was well hidden, and the only person in the world who could have contact with Peggy Carter and others was Howard Stark, who was wandering around. So, an attack took place.
Howard Stark really hired a bunch of mercenaries to protect his safety, but Howard Stark muttered what some people could do after going crazy.
Therefore, in the end, all the mercenaries were destroyed, and Howard Stark was also arrested. He will face a series of interrogations.
Of course, such a big thing cannot be hidden from anyone. A group of economic giants knew the news about Howard Stark's accident and joined forces to test the pressure. However, there are also some people who know the truth, and they are restraining each other.
, giving senior executives time to interrogate Howard Stark.
Of course, even at this juncture, the top management cannot reveal their identity because they dare not really kill Howard Stark, not to mention that the war is not over yet, and Howard Stark's wealth is not yet completely in his hands.
In their hands, no one knows what the current situation of Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers is. If they regain their power, it will be over.
Therefore, a group of people pretending to be kidnappers were interrogating Howard Stark, making Howard Stark laugh.
"If you reveal your identity, I can look down upon you, but it would be ridiculous for you to want to get information from me!" Howard Stark looked at the leader disguised as a kidnapper with disdain.
said.
"By the way, don't think about using truth serum or anything like that, because the truth serum in your hands was developed by me. I did the experiment on myself and determined that it was of no use to me before I donated it.
, after all, I have to prevent myself from capsizing in the gutter, right?"
"You're fine, Howard, but are you sure they won't worry about you if you don't go out for a long time?" The leader took a deep breath, looked at Howard Stark and asked in a deep voice.
