Just like in the movies, his godson had become a playboy.

"How are Huang Quan and Wang Kun doing?"

Chen Mo still cares about his subordinates.

"Huang Quan, Han Qing, Luo Zhen, and Bucky Barnes are now core members of S.H.I.E.L.D.. They have all undergone Serum Enhancement and were cryogenically frozen along with Steve and the other four, taking turns to awaken. As deputy directors and Special Operations Team Commander, they assist the director in managing S.H.I.E.L.D.. Huang Quan is currently partnering with Howard."

Chen Mo nodded slightly. With Howard's unreliable personality, it was indeed hard to trust him. It would be much safer to have the steady Huang Quan by his side to assist and supervise. Without a doubt, this must have been Colonel Phillips's arrangement.

"Wang Kun's Seven Precepts Gang has developed rapidly. Now its influence extends throughout the United States and even to some neighboring countries. New York, its headquarters, is an impregnable fortress. However, he has not undergone any freezing treatment, so he has aged a bit faster and now looks about the same age as me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh. Back in the Martial Arts School, Old Albert was over sixty years old with gray hair, while Wang Kun was a young man in his thirties. If the two stood together, they would obviously look like they were from different generations.

Now, seventy years have passed. Old Albert has become younger, while Wang Kun has grown old, making them "peers" in a way.

"His great-grandson is now over twenty years old. Following your instructions, I sent him some enhancement serum, and his family members were all enhanced. Now, the Seven Precepts Gang is managed by his son, and he spends his days drinking tea in the Martial Arts School and teaching his great-grandson martial arts."

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"This guy really thinks he's a centenarian; he's already starting to retire and enjoy his old age!"

Albert couldn't help but smile, and then continued.

"Also, sixteen years ago, when Steve and Carter were in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D.., they had a daughter, Sharon Rogers, a very pretty little girl."

Chen Mo was overjoyed to hear this. With his intervention, the two of them had finally changed their original fate and come together. Now they even had a daughter, which made him feel very gratified.

Hearing this, Chen Mo raised his head and looked at Albert seriously, wanting to hear the details of her situation.

Albert clearly understood Chen Mo's meaning and continued his explanation.

"Ten years ago, Steve and Carter went into cryogenics again, while Sharon was too young to be injected with the Super Soldier Serum, so she was given to someone else to raise."

"She is currently in high school."

Chen Mo frowned upon hearing this.

"Why didn't they stay outside and raise her themselves?"

Albert continued to explain upon hearing this.

"Fifty years ago, after their terms with S.H.I.E.L.D.. ended, they faked their deaths and escaped during a mission for the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. As a result, they could no longer appear in front of ordinary people and therefore could not give Sharon a normal life."

"They wanted Sharon to grow up among ordinary people and planned to tell her the truth when she was an adult."

At this point, Albert's tone changed, and he spoke with some seriousness.

"The children of S.H.I.E.L.D.. need to be tempered!"

"That must have been said by that idiot Steve."

Albert smiled upon hearing this, without refuting it, but seemed to have thought of something, looking at Chen Mo as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Only..."

Chen Mo looked at Albert, quietly waiting for him to say what he would say next.

Albert's expression seemed somewhat conflicted. After letting out a soft sigh, he spoke slowly.

"They seem to have made a mistake in choosing a new guardian for Sharon."

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but be curious about the guardian chosen by Steve. To be chosen by the rigid Steve, one should be a very reliable person.

Who is it?

Chen Mo asked curiously.

Albert looked into Chen Mo's eyes, his face full of regret and conflict, and slowly uttered a name.

"Tony Stark!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo instinctively covered his forehead.

"That idiot!"

Chen Mo couldn't help but curse, then looked at Albert with a suspicious expression.

"Steve's gone mad, surely Carter won't have lost his mind too?"

Seeing Chen Mo's confusion, Albert glanced at him helplessly and said with a sigh.

"Back then, Tony was a good guy."

Chen Mo shook his head helplessly. He simply couldn't imagine how Tony, who was in his twenties, could take care of six-year-old Sharon.

It seems he should go see her when he has time; he's really worried about Tony.

Two poor children, both betrayed by their own fathers, inexplicably became "orphans" and depended on each other for survival.

Chen Mo was very curious about what it would be like when they saw their parents again. Tony would probably beat Howard to death, right?

You faked your own death to fool me, and then you dumped a six-year-old girl on me and left her to fend for herself! I don't know how to look after kids! I have to pick up girls, you know!

However, without the Iron Man suit, Tony doesn't seem to be a match for Howard. It seems necessary to help Tony with Serum Enhancement first. Chen Mo is really looking forward to seeing Howard get a good beating from his son.

Meanwhile, at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters in New York.

Achoo!!!

Howard, who was busy in the lab, suddenly sneezed loudly. His hand trembled, and a puff of white smoke rose up, ruining a piece of material on the lab table.

Watching his hours of hard work vanish into thin air, Howard couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"Damn it! I have to start all over again!"

Norway, a top-secret HYDRA Top-Secret Base.

In his office, Chen Mo put down his coffee cup and fell into deep thought.

Through what he learned from Albert, Chen Mo discovered that although the world had changed a lot due to his influence, it was still largely consistent with the background of the movie "Iron Man" on the surface.

Tony Stark remains a weapons genius. Having lost his father at a young age, after taking over Stark Industries, he is still assisted by company veteran Obadiah Stan in managing and running the company. His assistant Pepper Potts, driver Hogan, and friend James Rhodey are also no different from Colonel in the movies.

It seems that everything has been corrected by an invisible force.

Chen Mo guessed that this was likely due to the special nature of cinematic space. In film series like Captain America and Iron Man, even if the earlier plot was changed, the later plot would still follow the original development. Of course, this correction was limited and would not completely restore the original state. It would only try to correct the deviation. If the deviation exceeded the world's ability to correct, it would not change.

Just like the changes in the trajectories of Steve and others' fates, the development of HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D.., and the Seven Precepts Gang has exceeded the limits that the world can correct, so nothing has changed.

The birth of Tony, the emergence of Obadiah, Pepper, and James all proceeded along their original trajectories, unaffected by the butterfly effect.

After all, this is not an ordinary alternate dimension, but a movie world. The plot can be changed, but other things that have not been changed or have not yet happened will still try to follow the plot.

Actually, this is a good thing for Chen Mo, because his greatest advantage in the movie world, his foresight brought about by his familiarity with the plot, will not completely disappear due to the previous changes.

Of course, in worlds like Underworld, where Chen Mo completely overturned the original plot, the future development is unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo suddenly looked at Albert and asked curiously.

How did Steve and Howard fake their deaths?

Albert was a little surprised that Chen Mo would think of asking this, but he still answered directly.

"Howard caused a car accident that killed him and his wife."

At this point, Albert paused, glanced at Chen Mo, and then continued with amusement.

"And Steve, in memory of you, chose to crash his plane into the sea."

Chen Mo was speechless upon hearing this. What was there to commemorate? I think he just couldn't think of a better way to die.

This brat, he even tries to imitate me when he pretends to be dead!

However, the various ways these S.H.I.E.L.D.. bigwigs did things to get themselves killed must have been very interesting, but unfortunately Chen Mo didn't get to witness it firsthand.

As for Colonel Phillips, Chen Mo didn't even need to guess. This old-fashioned guy must have chosen to die of old age. After all, he was the oldest. In ten or twenty years, he could lie down on the bed and take a nap, and then he could declare himself dead. There was no need for the trouble that Steve and the others went through, having to think of a suitable way to die and carefully create an accident.

After finishing his coffee, Chen Mo had a basic understanding of the current situation. Just like the previous two time travels, the plot of "Iron Man" had not yet begun, and Chen Mo had enough time to prepare.

The plot of the Iron Man movie begins, and it is also a major turning point in Tony's life, when he goes to Afghanistan to demonstrate the newly developed Jericho Missile to the US Army stationed there, and is attacked and kidnapped by the terrorist organization Ten Rings.

According to intelligence obtained by HYDRA, although the Jericho Missile has been developed, Tony has no plans to travel to Afghanistan for a weapons demonstration, and the military has not received any information about it.

Therefore, Tony will not be going to Afghanistan, at least for the time being, Chen Mo ample time to prepare.

"As if remembering something else, "Albert added.

"The list you gave me before you left has been filled with people who have been found and recruited into HYDRA. After rigorous training, their loyalty is beyond question."

"Just as you said, they are indeed rare talents."

Chen Mo nodded after listening.

"Very good."

The people on that list weren't easy to find, let alone recruit HYDRA. Albert must have put in a lot of effort for it.

"Should I wake Dr. Zola and Colonel John?"

Having covered all the basic details, Albert looked at Chen Mo and asked.

Chen Mo nodded slightly.

"Go."
