In the living room, Tony asked Jarvis to play the two videos one after another, and watched them again with Nick Fury.
The two of them were silent throughout the whole process, even after the video ended, they didn't speak for a long time.
Tony fell into sadness again, while Nick Fury was shocked by the seriousness of the matter. He smelled the smell of a conspiracy, a shocking conspiracy.
"Tony, where did you get the tape?"
"Call me Mr. Stark. Our relationship is not good enough to call me by my first name."
"Tony, we are discussing another Mr. Stark. I don't want to be disturbed by your nonsense, do you understand?"
"Okay, just this once."
Tony shrugged: "The videotape was received in two times. The death videotape came from the mysterious man in Monaco. He said it was a gift fifteen years late. The other videotape came from Mr. Stark, yes, you heard it right, it was
He sent it to me."
Tony did not mention the old man who sent the courier, and Nick Fury subconsciously ignored him. The latter's face grew darker as he listened, and he continued to ask questions after pondering for a moment.
"Is there anything else besides the videotape?"
Tony said decisively: "No!"
Nick Fury's eyes widened: "Please answer seriously, this is very important."
"Okay, there are a few diaries, but don't think about it, I won't show you, they are some... uh..."
Tony struggled with the wording and gave an answer that was very consistent with Howard's character: "The diary contains Mr. Stark's affairs. It is related to the family's reputation. No matter what reason you use, I will not show it to you."
Tony was vague, and Nick Fury realized that the contents of the diary were important!
His face was gloomy. Others didn't know Howard's multiple identities. As the director of SHIELD, he knew it clearly.
He realized a very bad problem. Howard would rather keep the diaries and videos alone than store them in SHIELD, which he established by himself. This shows that...
The enemy is so powerful that SHIELD can't fight it, or it's not safe to put it in SHIELD!
Just like Howard was unwilling to tell Tony the identity of his enemy, he also didn't mention it to his SHIELD colleagues, not even leaving any clues or hints.
If he hadn't seen Howard's warning video to Tony today, Nick Fury would never have dared to imagine that there was such a powerful organization on earth.
"Tony, what is the enemy's purpose?"
"They kidnapped your parents and finally killed them. But in fact, if they didn't take the initiative to expose you, didn't contact you in Monaco, and didn't even bring the video to you, they could have continued to hide without anyone noticing, so willful
It is unreasonable to expose oneself."
"I don't know, maybe it's a sign that they are ready to step out of the background and appear in the spotlight. Some people like to do this, like me."
"..."
Nick Fury ignored Tony's nonsense, only feeling that there must be a hidden secret in it. The conspiracy revealed the tip of the iceberg, and a heavy fog shrouded his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The outcome he was most worried about, or the worst situation, was that there was a mole in SHIELD, and he was so powerful that Howard acted cautiously and did not dare to borrow the power of SHIELD.
So the question becomes, who is the mole?
Several important figures who originally formed S.H.I.E.L.D., leaving aside those from the U.S. imperial government, Howard Stark, Peggy Carter, and Hank Pym are well-deserved giants.
The only two people who can compete with Howard are these two.
Is it Peggy Carter, Hank Pym, or both?
Nick Fury shook his head. He felt that he might have overthought it. If this was really the case, the situation was not irreversible. SHIELD at that time was far less powerful than it is now. Howard only needed to secretly contact the US military and backhand.
The two of them could be arrested in a short time.
Besides, if S.H.I.E.L.D. was rotten from the beginning, he wouldn't have been promoted and appointed director!
It sounds ridiculous to leave one's own people alone and hand over power to an outsider.
Therefore, Howard's unwillingness to believe in SHIELD is not because he is a mole, but because he does not believe in SHIELD's strength to fight against powerful enemies.
After this analysis, Nick Fury's face looks a little better.
Powerful enemies are not scary, but the stabbing in the back is scary. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of stabbing in the back is very low, and there is still room for maneuver.
"Director Fury, I know you have a lot to consider, but I also have..."
"Hold on!"
Nick Fury raised his hand to stop Tony, took out a palm-sized personal computer from his pocket, and after a series of operations, he nodded and signaled Tony to continue.
Tony blinked: "What is that? I saw you were sending documents."
"Yes, I sent the video files to Agent Natalie and Captain Marvel Steve respectively."
Nick Fury explained: "Agent Natalie is at SHIELD headquarters. Referring to the headquarters' database, she may be able to find out the identity of the murderer of your parents. Captain Marvel, Steve, you should know, the former Captain America, he and
Your father is a friend, maybe he knows some secrets."
Tony frowned: "Are you sending out my personal privacy or such important information?"
"They are all very trustworthy, at least much more reliable than you!"
Nick Fury glared at Tony. He had great trust in these two people. Agent Natalie was introduced by the former Director Pierce. Without Pierce overcoming all opinions and delegating power generously, he would not be able to become the new director. Therefore, Natalie
Agent Tully has always been one of his confidants.
Not to mention the other one, if Captain America is not trustworthy, who can be trusted?
"Wait a minute, Director Fury, this Agent Natalie you are talking about..."
Tony raised his eyebrows, showing suspicion: "I seem to have heard of it somewhere, is it an illusion?"
"It's not an illusion, because you were killed by palladium poisoning not long ago. I sent her to join the Stark Group as an undercover agent. At first it was just the legal department, but in the end you directly transferred her to an assistant."
Tony had a stinky face and looked as if this was indeed the case, snorting coldly: "Very good, tell her she doesn't have to come to work tomorrow."
Beep beep beep!!
There was a reply from the palm-sized personal computer. Nick Fury clicked on it and read: "It's information sent by Agent Natalie. The headquarters has information. The identity of the metal one-armed man has been found out."
"Quick, show me!"
It was about a murderous family feud. Tony quickly snatched away the personal computer and scanned it quickly. After a while, he handed it back to Nick Fury with a solemn expression.
James Buchanan Barnes!
Male, born in 1917, was a sergeant in the 107th Army Division of the U.S. Army during World War II, a member of the Howling Commandos, and a close friend of the United States/Captain Marvel. He was confirmed to have died on the battlefield in 1944.
"..."x2
"Director Fury, you just made a fatal mistake. You should not have sent the video file to Captain America."
Tony's face turned pale: "I really can't imagine that the murderer of my parents was actually Captain America's former comrade. He must know something."
"No, don't rush to a conclusion yet, there must be a misunderstanding..."
Nick Fury's eyes flashed: "The S.H.I.E.L.D. file marked the death of Barnes. Maybe he was captured and then modified. You also saw his mechanical arm."
"Really? But I think the man behind the scenes is Captain America. The powerful enemy my father calls him is him. After all..."
The more Tony talked, the more it made sense: "After all, he is the strongest superhero on earth and has traveled to outer space. It is very possible that he has alien technology at hand."
"Alien technology? Why are you mentioning this?"
"It's nothing, I just think there's something wrong with Captain America."
Tony changed the subject and asked: "Is it possible that the real Captain America is dead and the current Captain Marvel is an alien spy in disguise?"
"..."
You have such a big idea!
Nick Fury was filled with emotion, but he had to say that Tony's guess was not entirely impossible.
If this is true, it can explain Howard's distrust of SHIELD, because one of the founders of SHIELD, Peggy Carter, is Captain America's lover.
For a moment, Nick Freehan was like rain.
"Did you just send the video file?"
"..."
The two looked at each other and agreed that this place was not suitable for staying for a long time. Nick Fury said: "I have a safe house. Only I know about it. Let's leave now."
"Okay, let me put on my suit first."
Bang!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony was pushed open, and the American/Captain Marvel Steve Rogers walked into the living room with a sinister face.
In fact, Steve's face was just a little gloomy. Under the subjective consciousness of the two of them, it turned into a standard villain face.
"Director Fury! Mr. Stark!"
"Captain, you are here."
"Hi, Captain!"
It was too late to escape now, so the two of them greeted each other bravely, hoping that Steve was a retard and didn't see through them and knew the truth.
Steve looked at the TV screen, glanced at the frozen portrait of Howard on the screen, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Director Fury, please forget what happened today, and remember not to spread it outside. Believe me, this is for your own good.
"
"And you, Tony Stark, don't ask who the enemy is. I won't tell you. This is what Howard wants. He doesn't want you to be involved."
Tony's face changed, and he secretly thought that there was no way to avoid the disaster. He said bravely: "Captain, stop pretending. We all know that you are the mastermind behind this. You were the one who planned all the conspiracies, and you were the one who killed my parents."
