"Not good!" Maria Hill's face changed dramatically.

When they were salvaging Captain America this time, she had brought some armed forces to prevent any accidents. However, she never expected the other side to be so ruthless, directly firing artillery shells!

Underneath those shells, the people she brought along were simply a joke. They could only watch as the shells landed, powerless to do anything.

But at this moment, a red figure accompanied by a bright energy burst appeared in the night sky.

Yes, Iron Man arrived just in time!

Tony Stark hovered in the air, his arms aimed at those shells. Suddenly, a loud humming sound filled the air, and visible ripples radiated out, filling the entire space.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The shells that entered the ripple range were directly blown up, without any chance of reaching Captain America.

"Stark, thank goodness you arrived in time." Maria Hill breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Iron Man was here, she could entrust the enemy to him, no matter who they were. She only needed to focus on getting Captain America back.

"Move quickly and get the captain on board!" Maria Hill urged loudly.

"That old soldier is at least 70 years old, and you actually used artillery to bombard him. Hasn't your parents taught you to respect the elderly?" Tony Stark flew towards the disguised fishing boat.

As Tony Stark spotted the fishing boat, the people on board naturally noticed him as well. The energy emitted by the armor in the darkness was so dazzling, like fireflies in the dark. Unless they were blind, it was hard not to notice.

"Sir, Iron Man has arrived!" Scarface's expression changed drastically. "What should we do?"

"Retreat immediately!" Justin Hammer, sitting in the office and watching the scene through the camera, said without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, brothers. Iron Man has arrived, and you won't be able to escape. So let me send you off instead. Hail Hydra." After giving the retreat order, Justin Hammer immediately pressed a button beside him.

Boom!

The bomb that had already been installed at the bottom of the fishing boat exploded instantly, shattering the boat into pieces.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosion ignited some of the original bombs and weapons on the fishing boat, causing a series of chain explosions.

The dazzling fire ignited the night sky, and the assassins who were attempting to kill Captain America also experienced the most brilliant moment of their lives.

"What a ruthless guy!" Tony Stark looked at the explosions on the sea, his face filled with solemnity.

The other party actually took decisive action the moment they spotted him, destroying both the people and the boat. They completely obliterated the evidence in such a merciless and brutal way.

But it had to be said that this method was extremely effective. Underneath that explosion, all the evidence vanished into thin air. It would be a pipe dream to try and find out who wanted to kill Captain America.

"What? Someone attempted to assassinate Captain America at the scene?" Nick Fury was greatly surprised upon receiving the news.

"You know, the search for Captain America was a secret operation of S.H.I.E.L.D., and yet the information leaked! Not only did it leak, but the timing of the attack was just right when Captain America was being salvaged from the sea bed! What does this mean? It means that the enemy has been observing the entire search and salvage operation!"

And when Iron Man appeared, they immediately bombed and destroyed everything, leaving no trace or clues. "Who could it be?" Nick Fury paced back and forth. "Who could manipulate S.H.I.E.L.D. like this?"

"No, no, no, more than that, their motive for assassinating Captain America seems even more intriguing." Nick Fury suddenly realized something. Captain America had been frozen in ice for 70 years. Who could his enemies be? His enemies had long disappeared with the passage of time.

"Hydra?" The name Hydra popped into Nick Fury's mind.

After the debriefing, Phil Coulson and Clint Barton had reported the details of the mission to him. Clint Barton had also expressed his suspicion that Hydra might still exist.

In this era, Captain America, who had been "dead" for 70 years, shouldn't have any enemies. But what if that enemy was someone from Captain America's own era, an old relic like him?

"Hydra, oh Hydra, we thought we had cut off all your heads, but it turns out you still have a few heads alive..." A cold gleam flashed in Nick Fury's eyes. "No matter how many heads are left, I'll chop them off!"

"Assassination of Captain America, Hydra, Winter Soldier, Alexander Pierce..." Fragmented pieces of information began to come together in Nick Fury's mind, forming a more complete picture. Alexander Pierce, the puzzle piece infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D., was becoming increasingly clear.

Nick Fury suddenly felt a deep headache. After all, Alexander Pierce was not some small-time soldier. He was the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the current Secretary of the World Security Council. If even he was a part of Hydra, who knew how many infiltrators Hydra had within S.H.I.E.L.D.?

"Other than Coulson, Barton, Romanoff, Hill, and a few others, I can't trust anyone in this massive S.H.I.E.L.D. organization anymore." Nick Fury finally understood the feeling of having to quietly infiltrate Captain America's home after being assassinated in the video.

After much thought, Nick Fury called Sharon Carter back.

"Sir, you called for me?" Sharon Carter entered the room briskly.

"How's the investigation into Alexander Pierce going?" Nick Fury asked.

"We haven't discovered anything unusual so far," Sharon Carter replied.

"Terminate the mission." Nick Fury said, "Don't investigate Alexander Pierce any further."

"Sir?"

"Execute the order!" Nick Fury had no intention of providing an explanation.

"Understood." Since the boss insisted, Sharon Carter could only follow the orders.

After Sharon Carter left, Nick Fury summoned Phil Coulson and Clint Barton.

One had fought alongside Nick Fury against aliens and remained loyal to him until death, and the other, Clint Barton, was a member of the Avengers, an organization Nick Fury had personally formed. He had 100% trust in these two individuals.

"You both heard about the attack on Captain America, right?" Nick Fury asked in a deep voice. Before they could answer, he continued, "Your previous suspicions are being confirmed. Hydra hasn't been eliminated; in fact, they have infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. And my old friend Alexander Pierce is highly likely to be one of them!"
