Chapter 141: The Shrimp Catcher, Heroes Turn Against Each Other!

To think that a courier delivery would come directly to Tony's villa, and just at this time? Hearing this news, not only was Tony dumbfounded, even Clark was completely baffled. At the same time, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

After a moment of shock, Tony was the first to recover, spreading his hands towards the three of them and saying, "Compared to the well-known stories of the Captain, I'm more interested in what happened to Sergeant Barnes after he disappeared."

He paused slightly, then added, "I'm going to pick up a courier package. When I come back, you must tell me all about it."

Saying this, he had Eris greet the three to sit down and rest, while he himself headed downstairs.

The ominous premonition in Clark's heart grew stronger. He turned his head to the villa's second-floor French window, looked down through the window, and saw a slim, white-haired old man wearing a courier's uniform, waiting outside.

He thought, isn't the social security system in the United States supposed to be robust? Why would they let such an elderly man deliver parcels? Looking at him, he must be at least in his seventies or eighties, right?

Receiving impression points from the cosmic will and automatically converting them into a 'Random BGM Lottery Card'! It was indeed him!

Clark's originally tense mood relaxed a bit upon hearing this system prompt. This old man is practically the darling of the Marvel world; wherever you go, you can see his figure.

After using the Random BGM Lottery Card, Clark's system interface displayed a new BGM.

"Deja vu"

Level: 1 (0/1000)

Effect: "Deja vu", colloquially known as "The Shrimp Catcher", upon activating the music, the host's ability to control mechanical transportation will greatly improve, mastering the driving skills of various mechanical vehicles, becoming a qualified driver.

So, it's all about driving rhythm, huh? Clark shook his head lightly; this ability seemed somewhat superfluous.

With a try-and-see attitude, he directly smashed 1,000 impression points and chose to upgrade.

Then...

His description changed from "can proficiently master various mechanical vehicles" to "expert in various mechanical vehicles."

Upgrade again, becoming an expert-level driver.

Then upgraded to a master-level driver.

And another upgrade...

"Deja vu"

Level: 5 (Reached top level, cannot be upgraded further) Effect: "Deja vu", also known as "The Shrimp Catcher", as the saying goes, few people walk on Mount Autumn's name, where drivers often compare skills. Now the track remains, but the old drivers are nowhere to be seen. Once the music is activated, the host will become a god of driving stance! This was somewhat overbearing; over ten million impression points were thrown in, and the effect immediately became different. The difference between before and after is like the gap between a novice driver and the car god of Autumn Ming Mountain!

From now on, whether driving a car or piloting a plane, it seems I can do whatever I want. Or if I manage to get a set of iron battle armor, could I possibly play even better than Tony? While Clark was contentedly admiring the new BGM's attributes, he suddenly heard Eris's voice throughout the villa.

"Moon Prism Power, Make Up!"

Clark was startled; by now, he definitely knew that his previously ominous premonition had come true. Without further thought, he quickly pressed a button on his wristwatch, and a red sphere immediately ejected from it.

The sphere expanded upon contact with air, quickly becoming the size of a soccer ball, then vibrated violently and transformed into a large red cape. The four shiny gold characters in the center of the cape's back were particularly eye-catching.

Miraculous Recovery!

This was the Miraculous Recovery after Hank Pym's modification, much more convenient than before.

Clark had just held the cape in his hand when Tony, wearing his iron battle suit, came up the stairs again.

As soon as they met, Tony didn't say a word and aimed the palm cannons at Bucky, launching a lethal attack under the bewildered gazes of the Winter Soldier duo.

Well-prepared, Clark quickly stepped forward, the Miraculous Recovery transformed into a shield under his mental command, raised it forward, and directly bounced Tony's palm cannon back.

In the midst of a loud explosion, an energy shield appeared from the iron battle suit, like an eggshell, effortlessly neutralizing the rebounded pulse cannon's power!

"I am the Sailor-suited Soldier of Love and Justice, Tony Stark!"

"I shall punish you in the name of the moon!"

Alright, the BGM's effect is just that overbearing, not only on Clark but also on Tony.

With the lethal attack dissipating into nothing, Clark put away the cloth shield and frowned, asking, "Eris, what exactly did Tony receive in the mail that made him seem like a completely different person?"

Although he had already guessed, Clark still decided to confirm it personally.

However, in response to Clark's inquiry, Eris's reply was, "Mr. Clark, Mr. Stark has previously set a command using the highest authority, forbidding me from disclosing any personal information about him to you, nor can I provide introductions in any aspect. So, I'm sorry."

"Eris!" This time, it was Tony who spoke: "Show them the video!"

"Alright, sir."

Feeling Tony was already irrationally angry, Eris seemed much more obedient today, agreeing without further ado and directly projecting the video Tony mentioned in front of everyone.

The video was in black and white, without any sound, looking more like a surveillance recording from a road. At the bottom of the video, the date was displayed: December 16, 1991.

Seeing this, Clark finally gave up the last bit of luck in his heart, quickly thinking of ways to deal with the situation.

The video continued.

At a seemingly ordinary crossroads, an old sedan crashed directly into a large tree, the front of the car deformed from the impact.

It was definitely a terrible accident!

Then, a brawny man riding a Harley motorcycle appeared in the video. After stopping the bike on the opposite side of the road, he walked towards the accident vehicle. It was evident this man was Bucky!

And at that moment, Tony's father, Howard Stark, struggled out of the driver's seat, seemingly seeking help from Bucky.

But what he received in return was Bucky's iron fist.

The video recorded the entire process of Bucky killing Tony's father, strangling Tony's mother, and then placing them back in the car to stage the scene as an accident.

Then Bucky raised a handgun, aimed at the camera lens.

With a burst of fire from the gun muzzle, the video abruptly ended.

At this moment, Tony had already turned back, his eyes burning as he stared into Clark's: "Clark, I know you have vast knowledge and can foresee the future. So, tell me, did you know about this?"

Clark hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.

Bucky did many bad things under Hydra's control, but it wasn't his intention, so he shouldn't die.

The real culprits are those who controlled him from behind, the ones manipulating everything in the shadows! This logic wasn't hard for Tony to understand. Hence, in the original timeline, Baron Zemo went through great lengths to create a special environment instead of just sending the video directly to Tony.

So, in Clark's view, this misunderstanding could definitely be resolved.

But it absolutely could not be based on deception, otherwise, it would turn a solvable conflict into an everlasting deadlock.

Seeing Clark nod, the hostility in Tony's eyes intensified: "Because of you, I've recently studied a lot of Chinese culture, including a saying, 'A father's murder is an unforgivable sin.' Do you think this makes sense?"

Clark could only smile bitterly: "Of course."

Seeing this, Tony abruptly pointed at Bucky behind Clark: "So now, if I want to kill him to avenge my father, can I?"

Clark gently shook his head: "No."

"Why?"

"This is exactly what I've been wanting to explain to you." Sighing, Clark continued, "I just didn't expect the other party to act so quickly, and in such an unreasonable manner. But since it's come to this, I might as well tell you now."

He paused briefly, then solemnly said, "You know that Bucky fell off a cliff during World War II, but in reality, he was captured by Hydra and brainwashed. So, at that time, he wasn't himself, but merely a tool controlled by Hydra."

Hearing Clark's explanation, Tony trembled and asked, "Do you have proof?"

Clark smiled bitterly: "No."

Hearing this, Tony could no longer restrain himself. His shoulders launched a series of micro-missiles, scattering them towards Bucky. However, the battle-hardened Bucky didn't need Clark's help this time; he had already dodged in advance, rolling behind another sofa, preemptively avoiding all attacks.

Taking this opportunity, Clark immediately opened a portal to his new villa: "You two go first."

"Nobody is leaving!"

With a roar, Tony was about to launch another attack but was blown away by a palm strike from Clark.

When he returned, the Winter Soldier duo had already vanished without a trace.

Tony was now completely blinded by rage, losing his original target, he wrapped his arms around Clark's waist and, with the help of his thrusters, rushed out of the French window, flying over the sea outside the villa.

Mid-air, Clark twisted his body, using a technique he collected while organizing combat skills, the "Eel Technique," slipping smoothly from Tony's iron grasp.

Hovering in front of Tony, Clark sighed helplessly again.

He had considered this scenario before, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

If he were in Hank Pym's shoes, Clark would definitely not rush to throw out this trump card, creating a conflict between Tony and Clark, but it wouldn't be fatal.

If it were him, he would first try to create a bigger conflict, then lay many traps, aiming for a fatal blow.

However, Hank Pym did the opposite, disregarding the outcome, he threw out his trump card first, scaring you before anything else.

Was this Clark underestimating the opponent, or overestimating Hank Pym's courage?

Shaking his head, he decided not to dwell on this question with no definite answer, looking at the furious Iron Man in front of him, he transformed the Miraculous Recovery cloth into a stick: "It seems you really need to vent to regain your calm."

"Then let me be your opponent."
