Chapter 22 Gunfire
It must be Howard Stark!
Rorschach's eyes suddenly lit up.
How could someone of Howard Stark's status and position come to such a cheap tavern?
Could it be that the playboy has taken a fancy to a girl and came here to wait for her?
Rorschach couldn't help but think with a bad taste in his heart.
After all, Howard Stark is even more philandering than his son Tony Stark. This guy doesn't even let go of his friend's wife!
He's just a beast.
"No!"
"At this time... SHIELD should have been established, right?"
"Howard won't come here to perform any mission, right?"
When Rorschach thought of this, he was not sleepy at all.
If something really happened, it might trigger some missions or something.
"Raven, I was thinking, if Caliban is really so sensitive, maybe it would be a good decision for me to wait for you outside."
Rorschach paused and made a decision immediately.
Going to find Caliban or something, how can it be better than keeping an eye on Howard Stark?
"Okay, Caliban is inside, I'll go talk to him, you wait here." Raven didn't think much, nodded and agreed.
Rorschach found a seat and sat down casually, and asked for a glass of wine to pretend.
On the surface, he was drinking alone, but in fact he was secretly paying attention to Howard Stark.
And this attention really discovered something.
"Sir, it's been more than two hours, will that guy really show up?"
The young bartender was working as if nothing had happened, but he said to Howard Stark calmly.
No wonder old Henry took a sick leave, it turned out that this young bartender was actually an agent of SHIELD.
"He will."
Howard Stark replied with certainty, "The Soviets will never let traitors go, especially scientists like him. No one can protect him except us."
"Why hasn't he appeared yet?" The young bartender put a cleaned cup back into the cup holder.
"In a situation like his, it is understandable to be cautious." Howard Stark maintained a very optimistic attitude towards this.
"Okay, work with peace of mind. Maybe he has already appeared and is just observing the situation in secret."
"Understood, sir!"
The silent and low communication between the two sides ended.
They thought that in such a noisy environment, no one would hear a few words in a low voice.
But they didn't know that a hacker had sneaked into the scene.
"A traitor from the Soviet Union, a scientist?"
Rorschach's thoughts turned and he quickly thought of a person.
Could it be that Howard Stark was talking about Anton Vanko, the father of Ivan Vanko, who would whip Ivan Vanko in the future?
If you calculate the time point, it is almost this time.
But if the person Howard Stark was waiting for was really Anton Vanke, then he could be regarded as witnessing history, right?
I just don't know if this incident can trigger any task.
Rorschach didn't know this, so he could only wait and try in secret.
Squeak!
The door of the tavern was opened again, and at this time a middle-aged man walked in. Naturally, no one else in the tavern would pay much attention to a rough man.
But Howard Stark at the bar couldn't help but look excited.
The person who came was their target!
Anton Vanke!
"I said he would show up."
Howard Stark smiled lightly in a tone of everything under control, drank the wine in the glass, and strode towards Anton Vanke.
He didn't forget to show off even when carrying out such an important task.
"Hey, Charlie, why are you here just now!"
Howard Stark walked towards Anton Vanke with a smile on his face, and greeted him like an old friend.
"Don't mention it, Hans, the vampire. I had clearly finished waxing, but he insisted that I hadn't done it and asked me to do it again."
The two of them chatted while coming to a remote corner.
"Howard Stark?"
Until this time, Anton Vanke began to confirm the other party's identity.
"Of course it's me! I'm so famous, it's easy to investigate. Don't tell me you didn't check me before you came to see me." Howard Stark said arrogantly.
"I checked it, but I can't be sure if you are someone else's disguise." Anton Vanke shrugged, "But disguise is also easy to expose."
Anton Vanke asked Howard Stark a very profound academic question.
Howard Stark answered fluently, and Anton Vanke was completely relieved.
"Now, can I see what I want?"
Now it's Howard Stark's turn to inspect the goods.
Anton Vanke took out several sheets of paper that he had prepared long ago from his clothes. Howard Stark glanced at them quickly and nodded with great satisfaction.
On it was a very important research report on energy by Anton Vanke.
With this research, Howard Stark's idea about the Ark reactor these days can become a reality.
Although the academic report was only half, with Howard Stark's level, he could naturally tell it was true.
"OK! Let's go!"
Howard Stark put away the research report very rudely, then stood up and asked Anton Vanko to leave together.
But at this moment, a man with a beard suddenly stood up.
He took out a gun and pointed it directly at Anton Vanko, ready to pull the trigger.
Did Anton Vanko really think that he would be fine after escaping to New York?
"Be careful!"
A waiter in the tavern noticed this keenly, and immediately jumped towards Howard Stark and the other man.
He instantly threw the other party to the ground.
At the same time, he also took out a gun and fought back against the bearded man.
Bang bang bang!
The harsh sound of gunfire resounded throughout the tavern.
The scene was immediately in chaos, and everyone fled out in panic.
But Rorschach did not move.
Because at this time, Rorschach's system panel had updated some content as he wished.
[New mission generated:]
[The mission is as follows: Protect Howard Stark intact and unharmed]
[Mission reward: 50 origin points]
Fifty, fifty origin points?
Rorschach was shocked on the spot. This time the origin points were too few.
When he killed the saber-toothed tiger, he still had 100 origin points. This time, he only had half of that time.
But considering the current situation, well, it's just dealing with some weaklings, the reward really can't be too high.
