Chapter 732 Late for the 70-year appointment

Earth, New York, Brooklyn.

In a basement filled with exercise equipment, the dull sound of boxing sounded like an explosion.

Under the flickering dim light, a tall, muscular yet beautiful blond man was punching a huge 400 kilogram sandbag. The weight of each punch was enough to put Tyson to shame.

The sandbags were beaten to the point where they were shaking, and they kept making dull whines.

However, the blond man didn't seem to notice, and his fists became harder and harder, until with a heavy punch, the entire sandbag flew out with a roar, hitting the wall behind hard, and the entire basement seemed to shake.

The blond man's breathing rhythm was not disturbed, he turned around and continued to lift a huge sandbag and hang it up.

Only by constantly squandering his physical strength and letting sweat and exhaustion fill his brain can he temporarily forget the pain of his previous failure.

"Can't you forget that incident?"

Nick Fury put his hands behind his back and slowly walked in from the door: "The war is over. If you don't even give yourself a little rest, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to hold on? Captain."

"I can't sleep, and I can't forget it."

Steve held onto the sandbag, his eyes dim, and whispered: "A war in which so many people were sacrificed cannot be considered a victory at all."

During the last invasion of the Nine Realms, mankind protected its last surviving territory at the cost of tragic sacrifices.

However, the intensity and losses of this war far exceeded anyone's imagination. European countries sacrificed millions of soldiers, suffered economic losses exceeding one trillion US dollars, and hundreds of cities and ports along the way were destroyed. It can be said to be the worst tragedy in human history. of a war.

The publicity to the outside world is naturally a victory, but everyone who knows the inside story knows that it is just official wording.

Humanity lost, and so did the Avengers.

Fury naturally knew this, but in his opinion, the living space that humans can at least maintain is the greatest victory, so he advised: "Why don't you think about it from another angle? If you encounter those beings, humans can still survive." Coming down is a miracle in itself.”

"But I wish... there were less of these miracles."

Steve sighed softly, turned to look at Fury, his breathing gradually calmed down, and said: "You came here, do you have a mission to give me?"

"It's not a mission, it's an apology."

Fury shook his head and said: "I need to apologize for the previous thing. I deceived you."

"Haha, it's so rare." Steve crossed his arms and didn't feel angry. He just looked at him funny: "A king of secret agents actually told me that he wanted to apologize for deceiving me. This is not like your style. , Fury.”

"I hope that at least after listening, you can be gentler." Fury shrugged, glanced at the smashed sandbags, and couldn't help but twitching at the corners of his eyes, and said: "I am an old man in his seventies, I can't carry it. Hold your punch."

"What exactly happened?"

Even though his reaction was slow, Steve realized something was wrong.

With Nick Fury's character, even if the matter is hidden from him, he will not come over to apologize to him, nor will he be prepared to be beaten before saying anything, unless the matter is really important. And knowing that his bottom line has been touched.

"Peggy Carter."

Fury's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he slowly spoke out a name in silence.

Steve's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed forward and picked up Nick Fury. Anger surged in his trembling pupils, and he almost roared: "What did you do to Paige? Tell me, Fury!"

"Calm down, Captain."

Fury was picked up, but his expression remained unchanged. He just sighed and said, "We didn't do anything to Agent Paige, and if you carry me like this, I can't tell you the whole story."

Steve stared at Fury, then slowly put him down, gritted his teeth and said: "Fury... don't let me be disappointed in you!"

"I need to apologize first for deceiving you."

Fury tidied up his messy clothes, and then sighed: "Do you still remember when you went to see Agent Peggy after you recovered?"

"Remember..." Steve recalled, feeling a little sad: "She was lying on the hospital bed, so old that it made people feel distressed. Even though I called for a long time, she still couldn't wake up from her deep sleep. Come."

He went to see Peggy Carter and fulfilled the agreement he made seventy years ago.

But the result was heartbreaking. His beloved woman was already old and fell into a coma from which she could not wake up.

"It doesn't matter, that Paige is fake."

Fury reached out and patted Steve's shoulder and said calmly: "In order not to make you too sad, we cloned a fake Paige. Of course she will not wake up because she is not the real Peggy Carter. .”

Steve: "???"

This news can be said to be a bolt from the blue, it hit his mind all of a sudden, and he was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Wait... wait..." Steve looked confused: "In other words, is it true that Paige... is still alive? No... this What's going on? Why did you deliberately create a fake Paige? What happened?"

"Because...Agent Paige turned traitor."

Fury took out a mobile phone and handed it over, saying: "A few years after you disappeared, Agent Paige suddenly rebelled against SHIELD for unknown reasons and took away a large number of research documents. The purpose is still unknown."

Paige...rebellious?

The successive thunderstorms made Steve's mind go blank.

"Captain, we need you."

Fury took a deep breath, and then said: "Agent Paige reappeared after disappearing for nearly seventy years. She attacked and this time she took something extremely important. I think you are the only one... ...can take it back.”

Steve lowered his eyes numbly and quickly browsed the contents on his phone.

About how Peggy Carter betrayed SHIELD, disappeared for many years, and then suddenly appeared last night, attacked a SHIELD military base in Austria, and stole a confidentiality level 9 item.

In the damaged freeze-frame captured by the surveillance camera, a familiar face caught his eye.

That was the love of his heart...Peggy Carter.

But the moment he saw that face, Steve's heart suddenly accelerated and his pupils spread unnaturally.

Peggy Carter in the photo looks exactly the same as she did seventy years ago.

Time has not left any trace on her body, she is still as sexy and full of intellectual charm as she was seventy years ago.

"Captain, tell me your choice."

Fury smiled as if he had a winning chance, not worried that Steve would reject him.

boom--

His smile didn't last long before he received a heavy punch in the face.

This punch didn't hold any force at all, and it sent Fury flying backwards, hitting the wall like a broken sandbag.

"I will go."

Steve glanced at me coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "This punch is the price you paid for lying to me."

"Ahem...it's okay, my old bones can still hold on." Fury wiped the blood from his lips and grinned: "But from another perspective, this is a good thing. , you should thank God for allowing you to continue your relationship."

"I'll bring her back!"

Steve clenched his phone, his eyes flashing with perseverance: "I'm seventy years late for a date, and I won't miss it again this time."

"Good luck, Captain."

Fury half-stretched his body, leaned against the wall and smiled: "The plane is waiting for you outside, but don't let your 'girlfriend' wait for you too long."
