Pierce's high-level undercover agent across from him couldn't help but stiffen. He knew his boss had already made up his mind to kill.

The senior undercover agent naturally understood this.

Tony Stark knew so many of HYDRA's secrets and posed a huge threat to the organization, so he had to be eliminated. 

But exactly how to get rid of him was not a simple matter.

Considering Tony Stark's immense influence, if this matter left any clues, it would also be a huge trouble for HYDRA.

When HYDRA assassinated Tony Stark's parents back then, didn't they also disguise it as a car accident?

It was because they were wary of Howard's enormous influence.

And now?

Tony Stark, who created the Hulkbuster armor, has an influence that completely surpasses Howard Stark's!

So getting rid of Tony Stark had to be done gradually.

If it wasn't handled well, even HYDRA would suffer a huge backlash.

Of course, for Alexander Pierce, a special agent leader who held great power and was the king of spies, this matter was only a bit more troublesome, nothing more.

It wasn't a real problem.

In his extremely long career, he had dealt with countless issues more difficult than this one. 

Tony Stark's matter really wasn't much.

After determining the basic policy of taking out Tony Stark, Alexander Pierce began to truly work on advancing this matter.

And it had to be said, Alexander Pierce was indeed the real deal.

His series of tasks, from collecting relevant intelligence, formulating assassination strategic plans, to laying out various preparatory groundwork, were all completed in just two months.

"Sir, all preparations are ready, and we can start the operation at any time," the senior undercover agent reported to Alexander Pierce in the top-floor office of the Triskelion.

Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Alexander Pierce's face.

And then, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Tony Stark, your time of death has come!

"Then what are we waiting for?" 

"Let our world prepare to lose a superhero!" Alexander Pierce said meaningfully to the high-level undercover agent in front of him.

Tony Stark naturally had no idea he was already on Alexander Pierce's hit list, let alone that Pierce had specially prepared an inescapable net for him.

A net filled with murderous intent!

At this moment, Iron Man was feeling quite content. 

He had just engaged in some deep, heartfelt communication with the latest cover model of Maxim magazine in his mansion.

They entered each other's worlds and ignited sparks of love.

As he buttoned up his shirt in front of the mirror, Tony Stark couldn't help but glance at the beautiful figure lying on the bed.

For some reason, Iron Man suddenly felt a sense of unease and hesitation.

This lifestyle, which used to be just routine and basic for him, made Tony Stark feel a little flustered and worried.

Although it was just a tiny bit, Iron Man was indeed a little concerned.

What if Pepper found out?

Of course, Tony Stark used to play around a lot before.

The number of women who had entered his mansion and lain on his bed was almost too many to count.

And each time, Iron Man never avoided Pepper Potts.

He even had Pepper Potts clean up the mess after he partied.

But now the situation was different.

Before, he only regarded Pepper Potts as his assistant, nothing more.

Naturally, he wouldn't care so much about Pepper Potts' thoughts.

But now?

Iron Man and his little assistant were already in an extremely ambiguous period.

Although they hadn't poked through that layer of window paper between them, they both tacitly understood that they had feelings for each other.

Not to mention, Tony Stark had long known that Pepper Potts was his future wife, so this time he was truly ready to start a relationship with her.

"This is the last one!" 

"I promise!"

After withdrawing his gaze, Tony Stark couldn't help but make this decision in his heart.

"Sir, there's an emergency in Manhattan's West Side!"

"The Hulk has appeared!"

Before he could even finish buttoning the last button, JARVIS' voice suddenly rang in his ear.

At the same time, a corresponding video was projected in front of Tony Stark by JARVIS.

"Roar!" In the video, a green behemoth could be seen raging on the bustling street like a beast, smashing everything around him.

Screams erupted from the scene.

The passersby were all scared out of their wits, fleeing in all directions with pee running down their legs.

They wished their parents had given them two more legs.

The scene was utter chaos.

"Hulk?"

"How did this guy show up again?"

Tony Stark was a little surprised by this and couldn't help but mutter.

The Hulk had just fought with Abomination not long ago, causing a huge commotion.

According to Iron Man's understanding, he should have fled abroad.

How could he appear again in the country at this time?

And in a place like Manhattan?

But now was obviously not the time to ponder these questions.

Since the Hulk appeared in Manhattan, Tony Stark naturally couldn't ignore it.

After all, Stark Tower was located in Manhattan, and Manhattan was the Hulkbuster's turf!

Moreover, Tony Stark had been wearing the Iron Man armor for so long that he was already used to his superhero identity.

Even if the Hulk didn't appear in Manhattan, if Iron Man knew about it, he wouldn't stand by and do nothing.

Through his notebook, Tony Stark was clearer than anyone else about how terrifying that "green fatty" was!

"JARVIS, what are you waiting for?"

Tony Stark didn't hesitate at all and immediately gave JARVIS this order.

"Sir, are you sure you want to do this?"

"According to our intelligence assessment, you may not be able to resolve this crisis," the caring AI promptly reminded Iron Man.

"JARVIS, you know my style. Act first, think later!"

"As you wish, sir!"

JARVIS didn't say anything more.

He immediately began controlling the corresponding robotic arms to suit up Tony Stark.

Click click click!

In just over ten seconds, the cool iron suit was on Tony Stark, and the Hulkbuster made his shining appearance.

Whoosh!

The next moment.

The Destroyer blasted off, spewing intense and dazzling flames as it quickly flew towards the incident site.

"Sir, Nick Fury is calling."

Jarvis reminded Tony Stark just as he had left his luxurious mansion.

"Put him through."

Even without thinking, Iron Man could guess why Nick Fury was contacting him and immediately gave Jarvis the order.

"Stark, have you seen the news?"

As expected, Nick Fury's extremely grave voice came through the receiver.

"I know, I'm on my way there now."

Tony Stark immediately gave an affirmative answer.

Hearing this, Fury felt slightly more at ease.

The reason it was only "slightly", was because Nick Fury already clearly knew through his notebook just how abnormally powerful the "Green Fatty" was. 

That was a super freak who could press down on Mjolnir!

Although the Destroyer was indeed powerful for current society, when facing that level of freak, Nick Fury really didn't dare have too much confidence.

So to be on the safe side, after some deliberation, Nick Fury dialed another number.

???

Zhou Cheng, who was comfortably lying on the couch watching an American drama, immediately noticed an incoming call from an unknown number.

Zhou Cheng was really getting into the show, so he didn't bother with the unknown caller and directly hung up.

But who would have thought, right after hanging up, a message came through: "This is Nick Fury!"

Fury?

Zhou Cheng felt a little surprised.

Why would the director of SHIELD call him?

Could it be something related to the Avengers again?

But he had already firmly refused Fury!

So, did Fury actually have some commission?

Quickly sorting through his thoughts, Zhou Cheng made a prediction of the current situation.

When the unknown number called again, he chose to answer.

As expected.

A voice that was very familiar to him came through the receiver. 

"Satan, this is Nick Fury. I have an urgent commission for you now."

An urgent commission?

Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up slightly.

Fury had even told him the urgency level of the commission, was this giving him an opportunity to make a lion's opening remark?

For Fury to come find him with this attitude, it seemed he must have encountered a very pressing matter.

"Let's hear it!"

While inwardly muttering to himself, Zhou Cheng didn't delay and curiously asked Nick Fury.

"The Hulk suddenly appeared in Manhattan. Stark is rushing over to handle it, but I'm worried Stark may not be able to."

"So I need a backup plan."

Nick Fury concisely told Zhou Cheng about the situation.

The Hulk?

Green Fatty really doesn't stay still!

Zhou Cheng sighed in his heart, then began pondering over this matter.

With so many cheat skills and methods he had now, could he handle the Hulk?

It seemed...worth a try!

Soon, Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up.

Because in the long time he had the notebook, he had obtained a very interesting item:

The memory erasing device from the "Men in Black" movie series.

When used, this thing could directly make the target's brain go blank.

Then as long as someone verbally told the target what memories needed to be implanted during this time,

The target's brain would automatically fill in the blanks.

Thereby achieving the erasure and filling in of relevant memories.

From the effects shown in the movies, the results of the memory eraser were very amazing.

It wasn't as simple as just erasing memories, it could even change a person's habits.

Zhou Cheng was actually very curious, would this thing work on the Hulk?

Theoretically speaking,

As long as the Hulk's mind went blank, or in other words, as long as the Hulk took a nap, wouldn't he stop being angry?

Then, would Bruce Banner's personality come back online?

Zhou Cheng felt it was quite feasible.

"Prepare 10 million dollars!"

After some deliberation, Zhou Cheng had a plan.

Not wasting words, he named a very "sincere" price to Nick Fury.

After all, the situation was quite urgent.

"Price is not an issue!"

"If Stark successfully stops the Hulk, then all is well."

"If Stark can't stop the Hulk, Satan, then I hope you can live up to this 10 million quote!"

"Wait and see."

After ending the call with Nick Fury, Zhou Cheng prepared his Satan outfit, Jack Sparrow's compass, memory eraser and other related items, then set off in a flurry.

Admittedly,

If he really took action against the Hulk this time, it would definitely attract attention from many sides.

But to Zhou Cheng, this wasn't a big deal.

In any case, his identity had already been exposed to SHIELD, right?

Since it was already exposed, Zhou Cheng didn't mind further exposure.

Moreover,

In any case, he still had the memory eraser. If he really encountered any tricky trouble, he could directly erase the relevant person's memory.

Nothing was an issue!

Compared to Zhou Cheng's high spirits, Tony Stark at this moment wasn't so carefree.

Roar!

Boom boom boom!

When Iron Man piloted his armor and flew to the scene,

The Hulk was standing in front of a car, roaring while swinging his fists to fiercely smash non-stop.

After a few hits, the car was pounded into a metal pancake.

Luckily no one was in the vehicle, otherwise a real life horror movie death scene would have played out.

"Hey big guy, time for you to cool off!"

Tony Stark landed in front of the Hulk in a domineering pose and yelled at the Hulk in a cocky tone.

The Hulk, who was venting his rage, immediately had his attention drawn by Tony Stark.

He instantly abandoned the car-turned-pancake in front of him and began turning to face that tin can.

"Roar!"

Opening his mouth, he let out a roar at Tony Stark.

Boom boom boom!

Next, without any nonsense, the Hulk

charged at Tony Stark like a small mountain, full of domineering might.

"You really think I'm scared of you?"

Seeing this, Tony Stark swiftly flew up into the air and took the initiative to fly towards the Hulk.

In the blink of an eye he was in front of the Hulk, swinging his iron fist to fiercely pound at him.

Clang!

But before even touching the Hulk, the Hulk's fist smashed into the Iron Man armor first.

Accompanied by a crisp clang of metal, Iron Man was sent flying back like a cannonball.
