For Fury, there was no one in this world who couldn't be abandoned, as long as they had lost their value.
Bucky was clearly such an insignificant existence, a pawn he could discard at any time.
To protect Steve, and even more to protect his own position and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s detached status, what couldn't he do?
As expected, with these words, the surging crowd suddenly quieted down.
Yes, Captain America Steve had just woken up from being frozen; he hadn't been able to do anything for half a century.
None of this had anything to do with him. People change, and there's nothing that can't be betrayed, as long as the stakes are high enough!
However, they couldn't be placated by Fury's few words and buck-passing.
They weren't fools, so easily tricked. This matter was too closely related to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Immediately, someone shouted, "We can believe you, but you must take practical action!"
"Isn't apprehending such a super criminal your S.H.I.E.L.D.'s duty? Moreover, Bucky was once a member of the Howling Commandos, and Captain Steve must clean house!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone responded loudly.
"That's right! You must apprehend him!"
"It's your responsibility to severely punish the murderer!"
"Captain Steve must do this. He was Bucky's former brother and officer; he must clean house!"
Hearing so many people agree, Fury cursed under his breath. "Motherfucker!"
These damn guys are trying to drive Steve into a dead end!
How could he not be cautious about such a matter? Fury immediately fell into deep thought; this matter was too significant!
After just a moment of silence, the crowd went wild again.
"Fuck! Just as I thought! Brothers, today we must smash S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
"Charge! Charge! These bureaucrats!"
"Fuck! Fuck! Kill this guy!"
Thump, thump, thump.
The ground seemed to be shaking, and the crowd surged.
Fury was startled and had no choice but to have his subordinates fire warning shots again.
He picked up the megaphone and shouted, "Gentlemen, ladies, listen to me. It is our S.H.I.E.L.D.'s duty to apprehend such super criminals."
"Please rest assured, we will definitely apprehend Bucky and bring him to justice."
He had intended to sneak through it, but who knew these people were determined.
"No! Don't fool us or play word games. Captain Steve must clean house!"
"That's right, you Black devil, you truly have a black heart!"
"Stop! Brother, your thinking is very dangerous. You have serious racist tendencies!"
Upon hearing this, Fury cursed under his breath again, "Motherfucker!"
Damn racists! Damn guys!
He had been subjected to scorn since childhood, and even now, things weren't much better.
He was angry but couldn't change it; this was culture and not something easily changed.
Fury was very aggrieved now and couldn't explain himself at all.
"Everyone, rest assured, Captain Steve will personally take action and personally arrest Bucky, this traitor and executioner."
When he said this, Fury seemed to have used all his strength. He had no choice; he could only compromise.
Alas, Steve, I truly did my best. I'm sorry!
Fury's eyes were filled with helplessness.
This was public sentiment, this was the general trend; no one could maintain their stance in such a torrent!
The crowd, hearing these words, quieted down. They got the result they wanted.
They believed in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power and were sure they could find that damn Bucky.
They didn't believe Bucky was dead; that guy was so young decades ago, he couldn't be dead now.
Immediately, someone took the lead in shouting for everyone to disperse, and then the crowd slowly began to leave S.H.I.E.L.D.'s vicinity.
A demonstration had finally passed without major incident.
However, everyone knew that the real beginning was yet to come; this was the brief calm before the storm!
Howard's son, Tony Stark, would definitely avenge his father. This would be a thunderous operation.
At this moment, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s interior was exceptionally unstable. Of course, HYDRA's moles were completely unfazed, even gloating.
Let there be chaos, let there be chaos—the more chaos, the better!
Aside from the HYDRA soldiers, the other members were different.
Especially high-ranking officials like Coulson, Hill, Barton, and others.
After work, they gathered at a bar, drank a bit too much, and were a little muddled.
Coulson immediately laughed self-deprecatingly, "Heh heh, I never thought this is our S.H.I.E.L.D., condoning and protecting the pervert who murdered our founder, hahahaha!"
The others, hearing this, immediately looked a bit dejected.
Their founder was assassinated, yet there was no mention of revenge—all for the sake of profit.
So what if they were assassinated one day?
Heh heh, there probably wouldn't even be a ripple, right? Who would remember them?
If they died, they died. Just bury them.
At this moment, Barton fiercely drained the beer in his glass and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I'm preparing to retire."
Coulson and the others were stunned. This was a bit too sudden, and there had been no warning at all!
Hill frowned and asked, "Is it because of today's events?"
Barton shook his head. "No, I've been considering it for a long time. This line of work is too tiring. I just want to live a stable life."
"Okay, if that's the case, I wish you all the best. Cheers!" Coulson smiled and raised his glass to congratulate him on his bright future.
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses, all smiles, but what they were really thinking about was how to plan their next retreat.
On the other side, it had been a whole day. Tony had been working frantically for twenty-four hours.
He couldn't sleep, nor did he dare to sleep. With his parents' revenge still not exacted, he couldn't afford to lose.
