When the long-haired man with dark circles under his eyes, wearing an N95 mask and a cool mechanical Arm, effortlessly caught the flying shield thrown by Steve and forcefully threw it back, even a super soldier like Steve couldn't help but be amazed by the opponent's formidable strength.
But after being stunned, Steve immediately realized that iIf the other party were to run, he wouldn't be able to catch up!
However, just as he was about to exert his strength to chase, a golden light flashed, and the cool guy on the opposite side widened his eyes.
His cool mechanical arm had been bitten by a dog.
But when did such a big dog appear?!
Under the shocked gaze of Steve and the masked cool guy, Skoll opened his bloodied mouth, and a flash of golden light emerged.
His sharp teeth that were enhanced with power of the sun snapped, severing the "indestructible" mechanical arm just above the elbow!
"Ah!"
The masked cool guy let out a painful roar. The internal circuitry of the mechanical arm was connected to his nerves, allowing it to be as flexible and useful as a real arm.
However, compared to the mechanical arms developed by Oaks Tree Environmental Technology Company, this thing was undoubtedly much more complex and sophisticated.
Although it had great power, its connection to the nerves was naturally tighter. After being destroyed, it was as if his arm had been severed once again.
But the advantage was that the stimulation was only temporary.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Steve rushed over and slammed the cool guy to the ground with a shield strike.
However, the masked cool guy, being a seasoned elite assassin, immediately jumped up and continued to run.
But when a golden beam melted away the remaining mechanical arm on his elbow, he wisely stopped in his tracks.
Skoll, who had shrunk back to the size of an ordinary German Shepherd, had his mouth open. it still contained a streak of golden light.
"Well done... I'll treat you to a barbecue later."
Steve sighed. He still didn't have a dog that could fight.
But after thinking about its repeated emphasis on being a "celestial wolf," he felt somewhat balanced.
If a dog can fight better than you, can you really argue with it?
"Who are you? Who sent you?"
Steve didn't forget about the large star pattern on the melted mechanical arm of the cool guy across from him.
"Are you an assassin from the former Soviet Union?"
The cool guy remained silent, his deep eyes staring fixedly at Steve. But for a moment, he seemed somewhat...
Distracted?
With Skoll, Steve wasn't worried about this guy escaping.
Can he be faster than a beam of light?
So he approached and forcibly removed the N95 mask from the cool guy's face.
"You must pay... pay... pay for the assassination of Fury..."
Steve's hand froze in mid-air.
"...Bucky?!"
"Who the fuck is Bucky!"
Bucky, the cool guy, finally spoke.
After seventy years, Steve once again heard this profanity from the man that haunted him even more than Peggy Carter's invitation to dance.
"When I had nothing, I still had Bucky."
He used to be Steve's spiritual support.
But seventy years ago, on that winter day when Bucky fell from a train and plunged into a ravine, his spiritual support disappeared.
Fortunately, seventy years later, Steve's other support, Peggy Carter, was still alive, allowing him to quickly regain his composure and give himself a reason to join S.H.I.E.L.D. and continue fighting for the world.
And now, his former spiritual support had returned—
Even though he looked extremely, extremely wrong.
"What happened to you, Bucky!"
Steve even dropped his shield and incredulously grasped Bucky's shoulders:
"Why did you become like this... these seventy years... you, you..."
"Who are you?"
Steve's words came to an abrupt halt.
A genuine look of confusion flashed in Bucky's eyes.
"Do I... know you? Who are you?"
"Bucky! I..."
"Hey, Mr. Head of Security, looks like you've run into someone familiar. But if you don't make a decision on how to deal with this guy quickly, someone else will come."
Skoll rolled his eyes. What's with all this intense emotion? Neither he nor his clever brother Hati had ever been this sentimental.
Unlike his brother Hati, Skoll preferred to disrupt the atmosphere.
"...Skoll, can you take him away?"
Steve suddenly spoke in a low voice. "Take him somewhere safe. There must be a misunderstanding. Bucky... he's my best friend!"
"Are you sure?"
Skoll looked at Steve in astonishment. "Although I'm not particularly interested in you humans, I've been forced to watch a lot of your inspirational speeches...
You're Captain America, right? Is this really appropriate?"
"Captain... America...?"
Bucky heard this name, and the confusion in his eyes deepened.
"I... I think I know you... I should... know you..."
Bucky's confusion turned into pain, and the swirling consciousness in his mind even made him dizzy.
"I should... no... I don't remember anything..."
"Skoll!"
"Alright, I'll inform the Master..."
Before Skoll could finish his sentence, a jade green light flashed, and Oaks appeared next to them.
A portal appeared beside Oaks, and he gestured to Skoll. Skoll nodded and bit onto Bucky's clothes, dragging him into the portal amidst the chaos.
"I've been told by Skoll. He's clearly been brainwashed. I will temporarily take care of him... but how to proceed further will depend on the investigation results."
The portal disappeared, and Oaks looked at Steve, who breathed a sigh of relief. He took out his phone and showed Steve a photo.
"Fury gave me this before he found you."
"This is... the data copied by Natasha from that ship!"
Steve recognized the USB drive. He couldn't think about Bucky right now. Since Oaks was involved, there shouldn't be any problems:
"What's inside? Fury said that S.H.I.E.L.D. has betrayed us!"
"The content can't be deciphered for now, and there's a tracking program on it. I'm currently decoding the address pointed to by the data, but it will be slower without S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal algorithms."
Oaks glanced at Carter's apartment in the distance, and his speech quickened.
"But once it's used without any protection at the target location, it will definitely attract S.H.I.E.L.D's tracking.
I'm fast, I'll investigate that place, but I need the enemy to think it's you investigating that place... Do you understand?"
"A diversionary tactic? I understand."
Steve immediately understood Oaks's meaning. If there was a problem within S.H.I.E.L.D., then the last person to see Nick Fury would surely be their target for elimination.
They assassinated Nick Fury in order to prevent Steve from speaking up, revealing their true intentions.
They would definitely think that Steve had the USB drive and would track its signal.
And if Oaks took Steve's place in doing this, Steve could hide in the shadows and truly uncover the truth.
"Someone is coming... Go to SHIELD to show your face first. I'll go ahead."
Oaks's figure turned into a little bird and disappeared. Steve picked up his shield and his expression gradually became serious.
"I hope my acting experience comes in handy."
