Chapter 23: Hit with one punch

"That's not true."

Leon pointed to his ears and said, "Based on the intelligence I have heard in the past few days, the people in charge of SHIELD are fine for now, and the people in Hydra are just the backbone and elites."

"Just the backbone and elites?" Tony was speechless. "How is this different from the whole organization? The organization my father founded was handed over to the enemy by those idiots!"

He paced back and forth beside the workbench: "No, Leon, it is our responsibility to solve the problems left by the old man. We must destroy this organization!"

"I agree!" Leon had no objection. "Anyway, I can't stand the fact that this organization has no power but always fantasizes about being the savior."

"And this also fits in with my revenge plan."

Leon waved at the holographic projector and projected a picture of Nick Fury.

"Nick Fury, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., has a strong desire for control and wants to take the entire world's security into his own hands."

"He does sound a lot like Hydra, wait, why isn't he Hydra?" Tony asked.

"I don't know. Perhaps his former director was worried that he would threaten his position if he joined the organization."

Leon waved again, and a file package popped up on the screen.

"This is the list of Hydra members within SHIELD that I have sorted out and packed. I have put all the evidence and identities in it."

"Then Tony, find a way to send this file to Nick Fury and cause chaos among them first."

"Remember not to let Jarvis do it alone, or they will trace it back."

"Then when they are done with the chaos, we will release these documents and completely expose Hydra."

"Then the whole world will spontaneously stand against Hydra."

"We can take this opportunity to find out the truth behind our parents' death. We need both evidence and the murderer!"

Leon gave an unfriendly smile: "And in the process, I will also show my strength to the world."

"How to show it?" Tony was stunned.

"Force them to use weapons of mass destruction, intercontinental missiles, hydrogen bombs... anything will do!"

"Then I went up and took on a missile with my own body, and then destroyed one of their military bases with one punch."

Leon poured himself a glass of water: "This not only demonstrates my defensive power, but also my offensive power, and also shows my attitude of showing no mercy when I strike!"

"I guess, after that, even if I walk in and out of the house in a Superman uniform, no one will dare to mess with me."

Tony imagined Leon being bombed by missiles and opened his mouth: "Isn't this... a bit too risky?"

"Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to die. I will only act when I'm sure. Besides, if I can't withstand the missiles, can't I just hide?"

Leon said, taking out a box from behind him.

"I want to get stronger, but I'm not ready to die...Tony, take a look. This is the uniform I made. How do you think it is?"

He opened the box and took out a Superman uniform with gold, blue and red interweaving colors.

This uniform does not have the traditional requirement of wearing underwear outside. It is navy blue in color, with a golden inverted pentagon with an embedded S logo on the chest, and a red cape fixed on the shoulders.

"The Superman suit made of Kevlar fiber is bulletproof, soft, and most importantly, very handsome."

Even though Tony felt heavy in his heart, he couldn't help but comment: "It looks good. I have to be thankful that you didn't wear your underwear outside. And this S, I remember it means hope, right?"

"No, it means Stark now, the initials of Stark."

Leon flicked the "S" button: "Starting tomorrow, I will wear this uniform and go to Afghanistan to destroy the Ten Rings Gang. From now on, I will be Superman."

"You seem to have forgotten me. I will go with you!" Tony pulled Leon seriously, "This is my own trouble. I have to solve it myself."

"But you still have to carry out our plan." Leon pointed at the projection, "I think you are very eager to find out the truth."

Tony shook his head: "But that won't stop me from going 10,000 kilometers away to deal with some hateful thugs while I'm investigating the truth."

Tony has been keeping an eye on the Ten Rings Gang these days. Those guys have great influence from Afghanistan to the Middle East.

Within their sphere of influence, ordinary people face the suffering of oppression and plunder every day.

Even if Leon didn't say it today, Tony would soon choose to take action to dismantle this gang.

"Okay then, but we must remain cautious regarding SHIELD. Try not to be traced back to us in the early stages. That would mean a lot of trouble."

"As you say." Tony looked at Nick Fury's face on the projection and asked, "But I'm curious, you should be able to find the base of Hydra, why don't you just take action?"

Leon shook his head. "The top leaders of Hydra have prominent identities in countries around the world. Those bases belong to them. If I take action directly, public opinion may be manipulated and I may be labeled as a dictator or a war-taker."

"Although I'm not afraid, after all, even if I face that kind of situation, at most I'll just have to fight a few more times."

"But why wait until trouble comes and then have to solve it when you can just use your brain to avoid it in advance?"

Tony nodded in approval, "I knew you were a man who didn't like being passive, just like me."

Leon ignored his nonsense and said, "That's why I want to show my strength to the whole world."

"After all, I can't stop using my superpowers forever. My identity will be discovered one day."

"And when my identity is exposed, the first thing all forces will do is to test me!"

"But others have begun to test and show their intention to violate the law. Can I still endure it?"

"But if I go directly to their door, they will not give up, whether they want to maintain their power or avenge their own people."

"In the end, maybe I will have to destroy most of the armed forces in the world before I can return to a peaceful daily life."

"In that case, I might as well make a plan, pull out a world enemy, and directly display all the power in front of the global forces, which is enough to scare them!"

Tony couldn't help but applaud: "Good idea, you made the right choice, Leon."

"Thank you for the compliment. I just don't like having my normal life disturbed."

Leon put away his uniform: "That's all I have to do. I've told you everything. Now you can finally rest assured, Tony."

Tony smiled and said, "I'm not worried about it either... By the way, let me ask you a question, why do you want to dress up as Superman and dress like a...pajama baby? Forgive me for being blunt, but do you want to be a superhero?"

"No, I just like Superman, but I won't be a righteous hero like him."

Leon left with the box in his arms: "Maybe I'll be a hero who helps the weak when I see them, but for me, I'd rather not do good deeds and save the world."

Tony shook his head in the back: "That's a shame. I've even thought of a name for our hero team, Super Iron Brothers. What do you think?"

“I think it’s childish!” Leon’s voice disappeared in the corridor, “They sound like two kindergarten babies!”
