After Steve returned from rescuing the prisoners, the two spent a long time alone together. Although they didn't confess their feelings, they both understood each other's intentions without saying a word.

Hearing Steve say such explicit and cheesy things in front of so many people, even the usually dashing Carter couldn't help but feel a little shy, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

Chen Mo and the Colonel exchanged a smile, their faces full of satisfaction, while Howard stared wide-eyed at Steve as if he were an alien.

Is this still the same introverted, shy boy I know? Doesn't he always blush when he talks to girls? What happened?

Howard had no idea how much effort Chen Mo, as his mentor, had put into his disciple's marriage; he had gone to great lengths to achieve it.

I had already given Steve a heads-up. Even if Carter hadn't asked, Chen Mo would have asked for her. Otherwise, if we just waited for them to develop their relationship on their own, we wouldn't know if they would end up together by the time Chen Mo left.

It has to be said that Chen Mo treated Steve exceptionally well, and of course, Steve never let Chen Mo down.

Steve's simple and straightforward words made Carter blush, which was rare for her. But she immediately raised her head and looked straight at Steve, her eyes full of love and affection.

Seeing this, Chen Mo nodded inwardly, "Perfect!"

Carter quickly accepted the enhancement. The modification with the Improved Serum was relatively mild, requiring no exposure to Vita-Ray. He simply had to lie down and receive the serum injection. The pain during the enhancement process was bearable for anyone with a strong will, except for Howard.

Without crying out in pain, Carter, with his strong will and determination, gritted his teeth and endured the enhancement. Covered in sweat, he slowly got up from the experimental chair, and Steve quickly went over to help him.

Carter gave him a disgruntled look, but didn't object.

The enhanced Carter has undergone some changes in appearance. Her physique has become more agile, but not bulky. Her muscle lines are beautiful, making her look like a valiant female warrior, sexy and fierce.

Carter glanced at his muscular physique, secretly relieved, and smiled at Steve beside him.

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Steve, however, seemed to have reverted to the way Howard remembered him, standing there dumbfounded, unsure of what to say.

Carter glared at Steve, then shook off Steve arm and went back to her room to change, though a beautiful smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Chen Mo shook his head inwardly. It seemed he had been too happy too soon. Steve was a complete idiot in this regard. Solving his life's most important matter was a long and arduous task.

After Carter's successful enhancement, Chen Mo did not allow Colonel Phillips to continue undergoing enhancement. Like Dr. Erskine, the serum had a more pronounced effect on these elderly people.

If the Colonel were to undergo enhancement at this moment, his appearance would immediately revert to that of someone around forty years old, and anyone would be able to tell that there must be a secret involved.

Therefore, Chen Mo rejected the Colonel's plan to carry out reinforcements now.

"You should wait until you retire to receive the enhancement. Then you can stay behind the scenes and continue being the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.."

"Does that mean I can't retire?"

Colonel Phillips asked with a stern face.

"I think so. You won't need to think about retirement for decades."

Chen Mo's words infuriated the Colonel, who glared at him. He had been planning to retire and enjoy a leisurely retirement, but now that was no longer an option.

However, becoming younger seems pretty good, but it will have to wait a few more years, damn kid!

Colonel harbored deep resentment towards him for stripping him of his right to retire, Chen Mo quickly changed the subject and began explaining the role of the serum.

The serum they inject doesn't grant immortality, but it greatly extends lifespan. Furthermore, the cells are highly active enough to be frozen, pausing lifespan and theoretically allowing them to live indefinitely.

Chen Mo suggested that after all the members were enhanced, they could fake their deaths at the appropriate time, like Dr. Erskine, and infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.. When the situation stabilized, they would all be frozen, leaving only one person outside to supervise the operation of S.H.I.E.L.D.. They would take turns being unfrozen, and each person would only be responsible for a few years outside.

The Colonel wholeheartedly agreed with Chen Mo's idea. Putting aside others, even he himself would have to fake his death if he wanted to receive serum enhancement after retirement.

Even if others don't age for another twenty years or so, they will also have to find an opportunity to fake their death and escape.

By then, S.H.I.E.L.D.. will be teeming with talent, and all departments will be well-established. With the situation stable, there will be no need for these old guys to keep an eye on things.

They could be frozen as Chen Mo suggested, and then thawed in turns. This way, with these old folks taking turns looking after them, there would be no need to worry about S.H.I.E.L.D.. falling into the hands of malicious individuals. It would ensure that they always uphold S.H.I.E.L.D..'s core principles and not go astray.

Of course, Steve and Carter have to be considered a couple, after all, we can't break up a young couple.

The changes and plans of S.H.I.E.L.D.. are unknown to outsiders. What is well known is that Captain America, together with the Special Operations Team Commander, went deep behind enemy lines to rescue hundreds of Allies prisoners from the HYDRA base and successfully destroyed it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Strategic Scientific Reserve recalls Steve to join the Special Operations Team to deal with the re-emergence of HYDRA forces.

Steve was originally a member of the Strategic Scientific Reserve. He was only temporarily recruited by Senator Brand. They had the right to recall him at any time. Especially after Steve proved his abilities on the battlefield, it became natural for him to return to the Strategic Scientific Reserve and join the Special Operations Team to fight HYDRA.

If he were to perform on stage or act in movies at this point, I believe neither the government nor the public would accept it.

Senator Brand felt like he had borrowed someone else's duck to raise, only to have it taken back. Fortunately, he also gained a lot of reports from Steve, accumulating a significant amount of political achievements, which made him feel somewhat at peace.

He also knew that it was no longer possible to use Steve as before; the duck had already learned to fly.

Steve officially joined the Special Operations Team. The survivors of the 107th Regiment performed outstandingly in this operation. After fighting against the powerful HYDRA Legion, their morale soared and their combat power skyrocketed. They also had great respect and gratitude for Chen Mo and Steve. Their loyalty was not an issue. With the Colonel's coordination, they were also incorporated into the Special Operations Team and assigned to Steve's squad.

Steve became the true Captain America and named his squad the Howling Commandos!
