"What is this?"
Richard looked at the old video tape and asked.
Baron Strucker bowed and replied, "Master, this is the surveillance video tape my people found in the warehouse when they searched an abandoned HYDRA base in Siberia."
"Oh?" Richard raised his eyebrows. "For you to come to see me in such a hurry, it seems that the content in this videotape is extraordinary."
"Master!" Baron Strucker replied, "What is recorded on the videotape is the surveillance video of the car accident of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stark."
"Huh?!" Richard's eyes widened instantly. He raised his hand and the videotape instantly escaped from Baron Strucker's grasp and flew into his hand.
Looking at the old video tape in his hand, Richard asked in a solemn voice, "Have you read the contents?"
"Yes, Master!" Baron Strucker replied respectfully, "The cause of death of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Stark was not the car accident recorded in the data, but... murder."
"If I'm not mistaken... the assassin should be Sergeant Bucky Barnes, Captain America's friend and teammate back then!"
After Richard was silent for a moment, he suddenly asked, "How is the integration of HYDRA's forces now?"
A hint of joy flashed in Baron Strucker's eyes, and he hurriedly replied, "Except for a few powerful HYDRA branches, the rest of the small and medium-sized HYDRA forces have all been brought under our control!"
"Very good!" After Richard praised him, he said to Baron Strucker, "Go ahead, if you encounter that Barnes Bucky, try to capture him alive!".
"Yes, Master!" Baron Strucker responded.
"In addition, speed up the action. After completing the integration of HYDRA forces, I will lead a group of people to the interstellar."
"Strucker..." Richard looked at the always respectful man in front of him and said, "You will be one of them..."
Baron Strucker was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed and responded, "Yes, Master!"
Richard waved his hand and said, "Go down..."
Baron Strucker bowed and saluted, turned around and left quickly.
Richard looked at the videotape in his hand, flashed and disappeared without a trace.
California Malibu, Seaside Villa.
Pepper was cleaning the room with Wanda and Pietro. Tony was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed with a look of helplessness.
Wanda wore a three-cornered hat made of a newspaper and carried a small broom to sweep the ground carefully.
"Uncle Tony, lift your feet!"
Tony can only cross his legs on the coffee table.
Wanda finished scanning very seriously and said, "Put it down!"
Tony put his legs down again, turned to Pepper and said, "Pepper, I think we should find a professional housekeeping service..."
Pepper straightened up and said with a smile, "Tony, clean your own home with your own hands, especially with the children, the family atmosphere will be better~"
"Look Pietro~" She pointed at Pietro who was running back and forth with a wet mop. "This child likes his current job very much~"
"Uncle Tony!" Wanda put down the broom, put his hands on his hips and said to Tony with a serious face, "You have to do your own things!"
She reached out and hugged Tony's arm, trying hard to pull him up from the sofa. "Get up quickly and clean up with us!"
"Okay, okay, let's do it together~" Tony stood up helplessly.
Pepper couldn't help but smile and rolled his eyes when he saw this scene.
Pietro stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then wrinkled his nose and complained, "Uncle Tony, you are just a big lazy pig!"
Tony:...
He glanced at Pietro, "Very good Pietro, your boy must double the number of test papers tomorrow!"
At this time, a breeze suddenly appeared in the room, and Wanda and Pietro immediately looked over with caution.
Then the figure of Richard appeared, and the two little guys shouted in surprise.
"Boss!" x 2
They immediately threw away the cleaning tools in their hands and ran over cheering.
Then he hugged Richard's arms from left to right.
"Hey, Wanda, Pietro, are you okay?" Richard asked with a smile.
"Okay!" Wanda nodded obediently.
"It's just that there are a lot of test papers..." Pietro then added.
Tony's mouth curled up. "Pietro, none of the additional test papers given to you is innocent..."
Pepper couldn't help but cover his mouth and bend over with laughter.
Wanda rolled his eyes at his brother and complained, "Boss, Pietro is too naughty! That's why Uncle Tony punished him for writing papers!"
"Yesterday afternoon, he only took three test papers! He still owes two more test papers that he hasn't finished yet!"
Pietro suddenly lost his face and complained, "Wanda, please save me some face in front of the boss..."
"I'm the older brother!"
"No! Huh~" Wanda snorted and turned away from him.
Richard watched the two lively little guys bickering with a smile, and gave Tony a look calmly.
Tony nodded and turned to look at Pepper.
Pepper clapped his hands knowingly and said, "Children, Uncle Richard and Uncle Tony have something to talk about. Let's continue cleaning!"
"Okay, Aunt Pepper!" The two little guys let go of Richard's arms very sensibly, "Boss, let's go to work!"
"Go, go~" Richard smiled and shook his hand.
Watching Pepper take them away, Tony said, "Looking at your serious expression, what kind of problem have you encountered?"
Richard shook his head and said, "It's not me... it's you, Tony!"
Tony's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Last time Richard said this, it was Wanda and Pietro...
His expression became solemn. "What happened?"
Richard didn't say anything, just took out the video tape and threw it away.
Tony caught the videotape, looked at it over and over, and asked, "What is this?"
"You'll know after reading it..." Richard said with a heavy voice.
Tony frowned, raised his voice and shouted, "Jarvis, prepare the playback tool!"
Jarvis: "Roger that, sir!"
In the underground equipment room, a virtual screen is playing videos.
The video is in black and white:
PM:7:01
DEC. 16 1991
A luxury Mercedes-Benz 500E produced in 1991 hit a roadblock at high speed. The huge impact caused the entire front end of the car to be completely scrapped.
Tony Stark looked at the car in the video and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The front of the scrapped car burst into flames instantly, and the old Howard Stark pushed open the door with all his strength and fell out of the cab.
At this time, a beam of light shone, and the dull sound of a motorcycle engine quickly came from far to near.
Soon, a completely black Harley-Davidson Fat Boy stopped in front of the Mercedes-Benz.
A sturdy figure with disheveled hair and a full body of black combat equipment got off the heavy cruiser motorcycle.
Old Howard noticed someone coming and crawled hard on the ground while shouting for help.
"Save my wife!"
The visitor slowly walked up to old Howard who was struggling to crawl, grabbed his white hair, yanked hard, and forced his face covered with blood to be lifted up.
