Chapter 39: Funeral and acquaintances

A few weeks later, Howard fell ill again and was sent to the emergency room, but the rescue failed.

The news of Howard's death spread all over the world. A wealthy man who had lived for more than half a century passed away.

Maria and Tony held a funeral for Howard with red eyes to mourn Howard's past.

Many people came to the funeral, including directors and leaders of Stark Industries, as well as friends of Howard and Maria.

Everyone seemed very sad, and when Mu En was offering flowers, he saw a familiar guy.

"Isn't that Pierce? Who is the black man next to him?"

Looking at Pierce who came to mourn, Mu En was a little curious. He had never seen this guy next to Pierce.

However, he was just curious and had no desire to communicate with Pierce.

After the funeral, Howard was sent to the coffin and buried by everyone.

Pierce comforted Maria, saying with a sad face:

"For Howard's death, I can only say that this is a loss to the world!"

"If it weren't for the two attacks, perhaps this wouldn't have happened..." Maria sobbed.

The performances of these two people opened Moon's eyes. Pierce is a veteran agent and his acting skills are needless to say. He didn't expect Maria's acting skills to be so good.

As for Tony beside Maria, this guy has cried miserably, and his eyes are red.

"Alas!" Moon sighed, "It's really unlucky to be deceived by your own father!"

Tony didn't know about Howard's fake death, and he was expressing his true feelings now.

Six months after Howard's death, Maria also died of excessive grief.

This time Tony cried even more miserably. In just six months, he lost his parents and became a lonely man.

Because he didn't want to be reminded of his parents by seeing things, Tony never came to the farm again and gave the farm to Bucky to manage.

What he didn't know was that there was a huge space under his farm, where Howard and Maria were living.

The two people who pretended to be dead did not choose to go out. They were very cautious and had been living in the underground space of the farm.

"Are you really not going to meet Tony? That kid was deceived!"

Mu En sat in the underground space and looked at the couple. The two guys could still laugh.

"Not now!" Howard smiled and shook his head. "Tony must stay in this state. We must divert the attention of Hydra."

"Okay, anyway, this is your family business, but I have to remind you that at your current age, you may not be able to hold on until the day when Hydra is destroyed."

This is what Mu En is really worried about. After all, the couple are ordinary people, and their bodies can't hold on for too long.

If Tony is not told the truth earlier, they may really be separated forever.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this! I've been prepared for this kind of thing!"

He used the technology of the Kree people to improve the restored super soldier serum. Although the strengthening effect on the human body is no longer obvious, it can prolong human life. He called this thing life serum.

And the equipment around him was prepared for the injection of life serum. As long as the life serum was injected, he would have plenty of time to investigate Hydra.

Seeing Howard so confident, Mu En did not persuade him. After all, Howard had his own plan.

...

Driving a pickup truck in the city, Mu En planned to buy some daily necessities. The things on the farm were almost used up.

Suddenly, several police cars with sirens appeared at the intersection in front of him, which aroused his interest in watching the excitement, so he drove to follow.

The police car did not go far and stopped next to a Best Buy video store.

"Oh!" Mu En raised his eyebrows, "There is fun to watch."

This video store was smashed to pieces, and it looked like it had just been robbed.

"I don't know what kind of stupid thief would rob a video store!"

Mu En has seen many robbery videos, but those guys either rob banks or rob jewelry. This is the first time he has seen someone rob a video store.

What are they robbing here for?

Are they selling pirated discs?

Sitting in the car and watching the police's performance quietly, I saw the police get off the car one after another and check the situation in the video store.

In one of the cars, Mu En saw a familiar figure getting out of the car.

"This guy... Isn't he the guy who attended Howard's funeral with Pierce?"

Looking at the black man in a suit, Mu En became more interested.

A kind-looking guy walked to the car parked in front of the video store, asked something, and suddenly walked to the side with the black man.

Looking in the direction they were walking, there was a telephone booth over there, and a woman was standing in the telephone booth.

"This is..." Mu En fell into deep thought. "Kree? Yes, that's right, it's the Kree combat uniform."

Having not seen the Kree combat uniform for a few years, he almost forgot what it looked like.

Rubbing his chin, Mu En smiled.

"I didn't expect the Kree to come again. This time, they will definitely go without a chance to return!" Then he turned his attention to the woman again. "Speaking of which, this woman is not Carol's spendthrift woman, is she?"

Thinking of the plane engine that was blown up by Carol, Mu En was so angry that his teeth itched. That engine could definitely extract a lot of Aye essence, but it was a pity that it was blown up by that prodigal woman.

Because the distance was too far, plus the plastic awning of the telephone booth, he couldn't see the other person's appearance at all, so he had to get off the car and walk over.

Dong Dong Dong

The black man in a suit knocked on the awning of the telephone booth, and the woman turned and looked over.

"Hello, lady, have you seen a lady falling from the sky? She smashed a big hole in the audio-visual store over there. Some witnesses said that she was dressed like a game character."

It was obvious that the black man was talking about her.

But the woman looked around without blushing and pointed in a direction.

"Yes, I saw it. She should have gone there!"

The question and answer between the two made Mu En laugh. These two guys, one asked knowingly, and the other pretended to be stupid.

But he also knew the identities of these people. The woman was Carol, but she was obviously amnesiac now, and the short-haired black man was the famous future Marafaq.

"So this guy has hair! I thought that boiled egg was always bald."

His laughter attracted the attention of several people, and Nick Fury was obviously stunned when he saw Muen.

"Are you Pierce's subordinate? I saw you at Howard and Maria's funeral!"

"Yes, you can call me Fury!" Fury stretched out his hand and said, "I took over Pierce's job!"

Fury was impressed by the powerful bodyguard in front of him. Howard's two attacks were solved by this person alone.

He vaguely remembered the shock he felt when he saw the killed Hydra soldiers. This powerful man didn't look like a human being.

"Really? Is that old guy still alive?" Muen pouted with some regret, and turned to look at Carol "Miss, where did you buy this costume? I also want to buy a few sets to play with."
