Chapter 6: Three Bullets Through the Wall

"It's a clever tactic. If there were an assassination course in college, I'd give them a ninety out of a hundred," commented Tony Stark.

"These people have undergone rigorous training. Their disguises, attacks, and tactics are flawless. And it's evident that they meticulously planned this assassination," said Nick Fury in a low voice.

"These people are definitely not police officers," Natasha Romanoff said with great certainty. "Real police officers are far inferior to them."

"I never expected Alexander Pierce's subordinates to possess such a well-equipped armed force," Nick Fury said.

The video continued to play, and Nick Fury, true to his role as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., demonstrated the impressive bulletproof capabilities of the car. Despite the hail of bullets from a dozen submachine guns, the vehicle remained unpenetrated, with only grim bullet marks left on its body.

"Fury, how many of these cars do you have? Sell me one," Tony Stark, rarely showing interest in other forms of black technology, said. "I can't roam around in my armor all day long. I wish I could, but the truth is, there are many situations where wearing the armor is simply not suitable, like having a drink with beautiful women. I don't want to bother with developing a bulletproof car myself because it's such a mundane task. So, why not sell me one?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D. does not engage in vehicle sales," Nick Fury directly refused.

"Well, how about selling pickled eggs then?" Tony Stark shifted into his sarcastic mode. "Honestly, I think it's a great business idea. You can even be the brand ambassador yourself... Nick 'Pickled Egg' Fury, you're in danger!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Tony Stark saw in the video that the police officers brought out a machine as tall as a person. Although he had never seen it before, given the context, he could infer its purpose.

Indeed, as soon as the machine's legs penetrated the ground, a police officer pressed a button, and a thick iron rod shot out with a loud clang, colliding with the bulletproof glass of the Chevrolet.

The Chevrolet, which had remained steadfast amid the hail of bullets, was suddenly lifted off two wheels and tilted to one side, nearly flipping over.

"Window integrity at 31%. Implement countermeasures," the car's onboard intelligent system announced.

"With just one hit, the window integrity dropped to 31%. If there are two or three more hits, the window will completely shatter," Nick Fury stared fixedly at the screen, unwilling to miss any details of this assassination attempt.

"In this situation, what would I do?" He immersed himself in the environment of being attacked, contemplating a strategy.

"I'll remain still and wait. When the car window is about to be smashed, the police outside will surely gather at the front of the vehicle. At that moment, I'll open fire and counterattack, inflicting the greatest casualties on the enemy!" Nick Fury's eyes gleamed with a chilling light.

As it turned out, no one knows oneself better than oneself. The measures taken by Nick Fury in the video were exactly as he had envisioned. When the window integrity reached 1%, the police outside the car gathered with submachine guns in hand.

Nick Fury opened fire, sweeping the area with his gun, causing the police officers to fall to the ground one after another. Seizing the opportunity, Nick Fury also detonated two cars, and the Chevrolet rushed out.

The police officers, undeterred by their failed attempts, refused to give up. They quickly got into their cars and relentlessly pursued Nick Fury, leading to a high-speed chase on the highway.

Nick Fury, a seasoned agent, proved his skill even while injured, evading the pursuing police officers.

As Nick Fury drove the Chevrolet, seemingly about to successfully escape, a figure appeared outside the blurred window, which had been riddled with bullets.

As the figure came closer, it became clear—a long-haired man wearing a mask stood there, holding a gun and steadily approaching the moving Chevrolet.

"Am I the only one with this sense of foreboding?" Tony Stark couldn't help but speak up. "Egghead is in trouble. This guy looks formidable."

Indeed, this man was none other than Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, a super soldier just like Captain America. However, at this point, Tony Stark was unaware of that.

The Winter Soldier held the gun with one hand and shot a circular bomb that adhered to the underside of the car with a loud blast. The revolutionary black technology Chevrolet, which had played a crucial role in keeping Nick Fury alive until now, soared into the air.

However, Nick Fury had plenty of black technology on him. He took out a rod-like object of unknown nature and burned a large hole in the ground, making his escape from below.

The scene transitioned from daytime to nighttime. Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, was riding his motorcycle back home in casual attire. As he entered the apartment, he saw his attractive neighbor holding a basket of clothes.

"Sharon Carter," Nick Fury recognized his neighbor as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent at a glance.

"From what I saw in the video, the Captain obviously doesn't know Carter's identity. So why did I secretly assign an agent to be by his side?" Nick Fury's mind started working. "Is it to protect him or to monitor him?"

"You seem to have forgotten to turn off the sound system," Sharon Carter reminded Captain America as she prepared to leave with her basket of clothes.

"Yes, thank you," Captain America thanked her. However, when he turned around, his expression changed.

He hadn't even turned on the sound system!

The speakers shouldn't have made any noise!

Someone had been to his home!

Or rather, someone was in his home!

Captain America didn't use the door but instead climbed in through the window, holding his remarkable shield, which could be thrown and rebounded back even if an enemy caught it. Stealthily, he made his way towards the room where the music was playing.

Stopping at the doorway of the room, Captain America peeked inside and saw Nick Fury lying on the couch.

"I don't think I've given you a key," Captain America said.

"Do I need a key?" Nick Fury retorted.

"My wife kicked me out."

"I didn't even know you were married."

Nick Fury pretended to talk to Captain America while typing on his phone, signaling that someone was eavesdropping.

"I'm sorry for crashing at your place overnight. I couldn't find anywhere else to stay," Nick Fury bluffed.

"Who else knows you have a wife?" Captain America asked, playing along.

"My friends know," Nick Fury replied, standing up.

"Are we friends?" Captain America asked in return.

"That's up to you," Nick Fury said.

Before Captain America could respond, there were sudden "bang bang bang" sounds as three bullets pierced through the wall and struck Nick Fury, causing him to scream in agony and collapse to the ground.
