Chapter 019 | The Assassination

"One hundred percent!"

The metal box's power was turned up to maximum, the dense white light almost burned people's eyes.

An electric spark broke out at the console, and Rogers, who had painfully cried out, suddenly quieted down.

Erskine quickly asked Howard Stark to open the metal instrument. He temporarily ignored Luke, who didn't make a sound, to save Rogers first.

A burst of white gas scattered, and everyone showed an incredible expression of shock.

Steve Rogers!

That scrawny little man turned into a tall and mighty captain with big pectorals muscles in the blink of an eye!

He was now a totally different person.

The next moment!

Everyone in the control room cheered and revered in jubilation, eager to immediately throw a celebration party.

Senator Brandt was even more enthusiastic, screaming things like "Berlin should be nervous" and "Capture Hitler alive".

In his view, with a Super Soldier regiment with soldiers like Rogers, the Allies were assured of victory and could win this battle without a doubt!

However, Colonel Phillips, who was immersed in joy, excitement and so on, with Senator Brandt, didn't notice that one of the guests in the control room approached Dr. Erskine while no one was paying attention.

"Hail Hydra!"

The man who came to 'congratulate', quietly whispered in Dr. Erskine's ear.

The latter looked up in surprise, but only saw a pair of cold eyes.

'Hydra?'

Dr. Erskine immediately reacted.

But the man didn't give him time to call for help. A PPK was placed against the other party's chest and the trigger was pulled.

[Editor note: Check para comment here. PPK gun.]

The bullet went through his heart and brought up a blood splash.

Dr. Erskine felt a moment of pain, and then helplessly collapsed.

The sound of gunfire echoed through the room, accompanied by calls of "protect the Senator!" as the guarding soldiers leaned over.

Then, there was a loud bang in the control room.

Flaming explosion swept through the scene!

The strong shock wave shattered the glass windows!

Colonel Phillips shielded the panic-stricken senator, while the big soldiers on guard were hit by the wave of air and crashed into the wall like a kite with broken threads.

Screams, explosions, gunshots ...

These noises interrupted Luke's thoughts.

He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and easily broke free from his bounds - which were there to prevent the subjects from moving around and harming themselves.

Crack! Bang!

Luke punched through the solid shell of the metal box, ignoring the jumping electric sparks and blatantly pulled open the iron sheet with his hands.

With a crackling-tearing sound, the next moment, Luke jumped out of the metal instrument.

He saw Dr. Erskine, who was shot to the ground, and Rogers, who had become taller and stronger.

Senator Brandt shranked back, hiding behind the cover of the crowd.

And the man in the suit, suspected to be the Hydra assassin, shooting down several guards, running upstairs, and disappearing from sight.

..

"You stay here! Protect the Colonel! I'll go after him!"

Luke, who had jumped out of the metal box, looked around and immediately reacted to what had happened.

He put on his coat and told Steve to stay back, who subconsciously nodded.

He watched Luke bend his legs slightly and jump.

With the Superman Card and super Soldier Serum, his moment was like a powerful cannonball as he jumped directly from the underground room to the ground floor.

Grasping the railing with one hand, with a clean and firm flip, Luke stepped on the ground.

Fortunately, with the data ability provided by the character panel, he quickly got used to a lot of physical qualities which were beyond ordinary people.

It wasn't like Clark in his childhood, who often faced the trouble of losing control of his ability!

Under Luke's feet, the concrete cracked like spider webs due to the powerful impact.

He was like a gust of wind sweeping past, raising a violent stream of air.

With one "Thump!", the ground seemed to tremble..

He left like a swift arrow, leaving his blurred shadow.

It had only been a few seconds since the assassin had rushed out of the corridor.

The killer sent by Hydra is very clever.

When he ran away, he didn't forget to destroy the button controlling the door, locking his pursuers behind him, delaying them even more.

"Unfortunately, for me, it's as thin as a piece of paper!"

Luke didn't stop or slow down.

He suddenly accelerated, knocking down the thick metal door.

With a "Bang!", a clear human figure appeared on the door!

"Okay! I take back what I just said, I still feel something!"

Luke stretched his neck side to side. He admitted that the metal door wasn't as fragile as paper, just almost to the extent of a thick wooden board.

He rushed out of the secret base, coming to the booth.

Luke jerked to a halt, setting off a gust of wind that blew as the bookshelves shook and swayed.

When he walked out, he saw the old woman, who was the antique shop owner, had fallen to the ground, shot by two bullets.

Outside the door, the noise of an engine starting was heard.

On top of that car, the killer sent by Hydra, armed with a Thompson submachine gun, went on a rampage.

Da da da da
