Stryker's Madness

"The East values reciprocity; this is Rejuvenation Potion."

Pierce watched the leader's figure disappear, then looked down at the potion on the coffee table, his eyes wide.

"Rejuvenation Potion!"

While the outside world is still waiting for the longevity drug, the Rejuvenation Potion has already appeared before him.

Pierce picked it up, his hands trembling slightly, intending to inject it.

But he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner impulse, and carefully placed the item in a hidden safe.

"Now is not the time. If we use it, Nick Fury will notice something is wrong. We must be patient."

He muttered to himself, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Pierce sat at his desk continuing to work on the documents, but he seemed distracted, his gaze frequently drifting towards the safe.

He reluctantly put down his pen, knowing he wouldn't be able to work in peace in this room today.

Pierce then stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to go find Nick Fury.

The atmosphere in the S.H.I.E.L.D.. conference room was so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

Nick Fury was furious, his single eye blazing with rage as if he wanted to burn everyone present to ashes.

"Captain and Ms. Carter disappeared right under our noses! What are you all doing?!"

His voice boomed like thunder in the conference room, making everyone's ears ring.

"Chief, all the people we have stationed at the hospital have been drugged, and the surveillance cameras on the streets are broken. We are currently searching diligently."

An agent answered nervously, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"When will you find it? Give me an answer."

Nick Fury leaned forward, his hands resting on the conference table, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"If things go quickly, it can be done in a day; if it takes longer..."

The agent's voice trailed off, the implication clear: it was possible they would never find him.

At that moment, the meeting room door opened.

"Fury, why are you so angry? Calm down. The Captain won't just disappear into thin air. You all need to get out." Alexander Pierce.

The agents glanced up at the director, and seeing that he didn't object, they all hurriedly left as if they had been granted a pardon.

"Pierce, it's not just the Captain's disappearance; everyone in the hospital has been knocked unconscious, and not a single person has sent a message. S.H.I.E.L.D.. may have been hacked."

Nick Fury frowned.

Who do you think it is?

Pierce stared intently at Nick Fury as he asked.

"It could be Demon Group, a foreign force, and they've infiltrated quite a few people. I can't be sure who I can trust right now."

Nick Fury paced back and forth in the conference room, his face terribly grim.

"So, do you believe me, Fury?"

"Of course, Pierce."

Nick Fury stopped and looked at Pierce.

His old friend was the Minister of the World Security Council, who had given him tremendous help. If he couldn't even trust him, Nick Fury didn't know who he could trust.

"Then leave this to me!"

"Pierce, this is dangerous."

"I've already completed the mission in the Himalayas with you, this burden, so finding a few spies is nothing."

The two men smiled at each other, memories of fighting side by side in the past flooding their minds—a tacit understanding and trust unique to them.

Just then, the door was pushed open with a bang.

"Chief, Captain and Ms. Carter have arrived."

Where are they?

"Dancing at the Stork Club, and Ms. Carter has become like she was when she was young again."

"What?!"

White House.

After finishing his work, Matthew stretched comfortably.

After using the Limb Regeneration Potion, all the major and minor ailments in my body disappeared, as if I had returned to my youthful and vigorous days.

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned on his computer, and skillfully typed in a mysterious website address.

Matthew stared longingly at the various goods inside.

Life Extension Potion, superpowers, high-tech weapons.

Each one captivated him. Unfortunately, he was currently penniless and could only admire them from afar, which made him sigh helplessly.

The door was suddenly and roughly pushed open.

Matthew was startled, dropping his mouse to the ground, and glared angrily at the newcomer.

"Colonel Stryker?"

Stryker was pushing a wheelchair-bound man with a dementia-like face, followed by a woman in a black combat suit.

The woman had long, sharp fingernails, and bloodstains were still visible on the blanket on the floor. The bright red blood stood out starkly against the white blanket.

Matthew had a bad feeling.

"What do you want to do, Colonel?"

"I'll save you, Mr. President, you've been deceived by Satan."

Stryker's eyes gleamed with madness.

"How do you plan to save me?"

"This is my son, Jason. He's also Mutants, with the ability to create illusions. I once discovered that his spinal fluid could be used to create a drug to control other people's minds. Mr. President, you need to change your mindset."

"You're insane!"

The president roared angrily, veins bulging on his forehead.

He knew about Stryker's X-Weapon program, but he never expected Stryker to target his own son and even dare to set his sights on him.

"It's alright, Mr. President, you'll understand me. The dangers of Mutants, Satan's plot—once all Mutants are wiped out, I will be a hero of this country!"

Stryker pulled a vial of potion from his pocket and walked towards Matthew.

Matthew stared at him coldly, then suddenly said, "Shadow, kill them."

Several darts flew out from the shadowy corner of the room in an instant, moving with lightning speed.

Before Stryker could react, the dart struck Jason Stryker precisely in the temple, neck, and heart.

Jason's body trembled, a hint of relief flashing in his numb eyes.

The Death Woman then realized what was happening and rushed to the corner.

Three Shadow Ninja leaped out of the shadows and quickly surrounded and attacked the Death Woman.

The three Shadow Ninja worked in perfect harmony, their movements swift and deadly.

Although the Death Woman fought valiantly, she was surrounded and attacked by the Shadow Ninja, leaving her vulnerable. If it weren't for her powerful regenerative abilities, she would have died long ago.

The Shadow Ninja's blade could only slit her skin; when it reached the bone, a corner of the blade chipped off.

The Death Woman was like a raging Beast, retaliating frantically despite her injuries.

Each attack was carried with a ruthless, all-or-nothing ferocity, making the Shadow Ninja hesitant to approach.

However, they are not without options.

Two blocked her attack, while two others used ninja swords to stab her through the gaps in her shoulder blades, crippling both of her arms.

Even so, the Death Woman still tried to tear at him with her teeth, her frenzied actions shocking the Shadow Ninja.

They had never seen such a tenacious and fearless enemy.

The Shadow Ninja raised his hands and delivered a downward slash, the back of his blade slamming into the Death Woman's forehead.

"Clang--"

The sound, like the tolling of a bell, echoed in the room. The Death Woman rolled her eyes and fell to the ground, the blow enough to turn her brain into mush.

Her body twitched a few times, then finally stopped moving.
