Confidential Files

By taking control of everyone within S.H.I.E.L.D.., and through repeated screening, verification, and interrogation, the vast majority of Hydra agents lurking within the government were eradicated.

Even if some manage to escape, they're likely just small fry and won't cause any trouble.

Natasha helped Nick Fury organize all the classified documents in S.H.I.E.L.D.., and then exposed most of them online.

The rest, which were really not suitable for the public to know, were all burned to the ground by Nick Fury.

Aside from the one Natasha gave to Xia Yu.

"I think we should show this to the Captain, Xia." Natasha gave Xia Yu the Winter Soldier's file, which included the missions he carried out while serving Hydra, including the murder of Tony's parents.

Natasha left the decision to Xia Yu, after all, his relationship with Tony was unparalleled.

"There's a Huaxia saying, 'You can't hide fire with paper,' Xia, you should understand what I mean," Natasha offered her advice.

Xia Yu nodded. He knew all too well that this bomb needed to be detonated in advance, but it required a suitable opportunity and time.

Xia Yu arranged to meet Nick Fury, the Captain, and Peggy Carter together.

"Nick has seen this document. Although Tony has the right to know the truth, I don't think now is a very appropriate time." Xia Yu handed the document to the Captain and Peggy Carter.

After reading the Captain's words, the two men's expressions changed drastically. They remained silent for a long time before finally saying to Xia Yu, "Thank you, Xia! You know Bucky is my best friend. When I had nothing, at least I still had Bucky by my side."

"I understand how you feel, Captain, but Tony feels the same way about me, you understand?" Xia Yu wanted to see how the Captain would react.

After another long silence, the Captain finally spoke with difficulty, "We are family, Xia."

Xia Yu laughed heartily. The fact that Captain America, who is always honest and righteous, said this shows how much inner struggle he was going through.

"You don't need to feel so guilty, Captain. I won't deliberately lie to Tony for your sake. In fact, I share your opinion on this matter. It's not Bucky's fault. He's not the killer; he was just a weapon. We need the right time to resolve this, and I believe you don't intend to keep it a secret forever."

The Captain's earlier statement, "We're family," was practically a plea for Xia Yu to keep this a secret from Tony, which was extremely difficult for the principled Captain.

However, Xia Yu's words made the Captain feel much better.

After giving the Captain a little trick, Xia Yu turned to Peggy Carter and said seriously.

"Peggy, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Xia Yu put his hand on Nick Fury's shoulder and continued speaking.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.. has disbanded, but Hydra still operates around the world. Nick wants to gather intelligence on them, worldwide. I hope you and Captain will go together. You have extensive experience as an intelligence operative, and I want you to establish our Avengers' own intelligence network."

"Captain, take Bucky with you to select talented individuals with unique abilities to join the Avengers. With your Captain and discerning eye, this job is perfect for you."

"Why do I feel like I'm working for you guys now?" Nick Fury said with dissatisfaction.

"We're all doing this to protect the world, so why distinguish between you and me?" Xia Yu said with a smile.

The two bantered around the clock, which made the Captain feel much better. He understood that Xia Yu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to face Tony for the time being, so he suggested that Xia Yu go out for a walk and adjust his mood, with work being a secondary matter.

"Xia, although I already said that, I still want to thank you." The Captain thanked Xia Yu again.

"Hey Steve, you're the leader of our Avengers. We all call you Captain. Consider this your second honeymoon, whether you're with Bucky or Peggy."

Xia Yu teased with a mischievous grin.

Captain and his two companions went to Europe with Nick Fury, Agent Hill signed up to join the Avengers, greatly improving the Avengers' logistical and liaison work.

In Xia Yu's plan, the Avengers will not be just a few Hero like in the movies; it will be a large, well-organized organization with multiple departments, completely replacing the functions of S.H.I.E.L.D.. and even the World Security Council.

Unlike them, the Avengers primarily rely on the combat prowess of individual Hero.

This Hydra incident can be considered a premature conclusion to the Captain America 2 storyline. What's strange to Xia Yu is that the system didn't give him any missions this time.

"Tmall, why was there no mission notification or reward for eliminating Hydra this time?" Xia Yu felt like he had lost a fortune.

"That's right, Master. This world is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first phase has ended after the Battle of New York. The second phase will focus on the Infinity Stones, aiming to significantly enhance your combat power in preparation for the third phase."

"The Infinity Stones will bring about a qualitative change to the master's martial arts, especially after the master absorbs the Power Stone. The system will randomly issue some tasks to bring the master more and more suitable martial arts," Tmall added, word by word.

The Infinity Stones, unfortunately Thor didn't bring the Tesseract. Odin meant that the Tesseract would bring disaster to Earth at this stage, and if Xia Yu needed it, he could go to Asgard to use it.

Although Xia Yu was eager to absorb the Tesseract, he still wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to first build the framework for the future of the Avengers.

For example, two days later, the United States government held a public hearing on the incident, and the government, which had lost face in the incident, decided to launch some criticism against the Avengers in order to salvage its already dwindling reputation.

This time, Xia Yu and his team were determined to leave the United States government with absolutely no face.
