A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 163 He is still alive
"What brings you two here today, to see this old woman? Is it because of your meeting with Nick Fury, Tony?" Inside the Carter Corporation, after Peggy Carter finished signing the last document and dismissed her secretary, she smiled and asked Tony and Levi, who were sitting in the guest seats.

Although Tony and Levi initially had Peggy Carter establish the Carter Corporation primarily to give her a legitimate reason to intervene in the Dragonbone affair.

However, this does not mean that the Carter Group is an empty shell. In fact, the Carter Group did take over the entire Stark Group's real estate-related business.

So, besides keeping an eye on S.H.I.E.L.D., Peggy Carter is still very busy most of the time.

And in the past year or so, he has made the Carter Group quite successful.

Today, besides being the much-talked-about Captain England, he is also a rising star among New York's wealthy elite.

This change in identity was not difficult for Peggy Carter at all.

Because decades ago, she had also helped Howard manage the Stark Industries for a period of time.

Moreover, this kind of business work is much easier for her than managing the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the past, due to their cooperative relationship, Tony and Levi would occasionally visit.

However, it is quite rare for the two of them to visit at the same time, as is the case today.

But in Peggy Carter's memory, nothing major seemed to have happened recently.

The only somewhat unusual thing was Nick Fury's meeting with Tony.

"Should you tell me or should I?" Levi asked Tony, glancing at him in response to Peggy Carter's question.

"Ahem, I'll take care of it!" Tony thought for three seconds and then took over the task.

After all, Carter was closer to that person than Carter was.

Moreover, through past interactions with Li Wei, it's clear that Li Wei doesn't actually like that person very much—in fact, he doesn't like him either.

"I'm all ears!" Seeing the two acting so mysteriously piqued Peggy Carter's interest. She crossed her arms, leaned back on the sofa, and waited for Tony to speak.

“Actually, there are three things! The first one is what you mentioned, the meeting with Fury, the day I confronted him!” Tony said.

"You're coming clean? You mean Hydra?" Peggy Carter frowned upon hearing Tony's words.

To be honest, the confession between Tony and Nick Fury had the biggest impact on who was actually not Levi.

Instead, it was Peggy Carter, the British Captain who was pushed out to face S.H.I.E.L.D. on the front lines.

If Nick Fury once thought that Peggy Carter's purpose in returning to America was to obtain the Dragon Bone to satisfy his own selfish desires, which was not in line with the style of this veteran hero...

So, after Tony told him that Hydra still existed, and that it was still within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury could easily guess the ultimate purpose behind all of Peggy Carter's actions.

For Peggy Carter, this was no different than being sold out by Tony.

However, as an old man who had lived for over eighty years, Peggy Carter did not fly into a rage after hearing that she had been sold. Instead, she expressed her doubts and quietly waited for Tony's explanation.

“In fact, it’s not just Hydra, there’s also…” Tony then somewhat embarrassedly recounted to Peggy Carter what he had told Nick Fury before.

It's just that it was a rougher comparison than when I talked to Nick Fury.

However, the account given to Peggy Carter was more detailed.

Of course, some things don't need to be explained in great detail.

For example, Peggy Carter already knew about the existence of Asgard and 084. But she really didn't know about the Kree, Skrulls, Flerken, or Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers.

Because she had just retired at that time.

In addition, the information that Tony mentioned there are six Infinity Stones, which together possess the power to change the universe, and that the Tesseract she knew was just one of them, the Space Stone, also greatly shocked Peggy Carter.

Of course, there was also the fact that the Alliance headquarters had previously visited the Hell Lord, which these two kids hadn't revealed a single thing to her.

Frankly, in Peggy Carter's view, the existence of these things is far more important than the threat posed by Hydra.

Ultimately, Hydra is nothing more than a special organization within humanity.

At most, it's just another Inhuman ancestor called "The Hive" that's been dumped on some unknown planet.

However, compared to beings like the Lords of Hell, the Infinity Stones, Asgard, and the Kree Empire...

What's so special about a honeycomb?
"...So you two were hiding such a deep secret...No wonder S.H.I.E.L.D. was under complete lockdown lately...Don't even mention Nick Fury, even I was scared by you two—compared to what you've said, Hydra really is nothing!" Peggy Carter shook her head helplessly after listening to Tony's story.

"Such important information, and it's only the first thing—I'm almost afraid to listen anymore... Go on, now if you say God has descended, I won't be too surprised."

"Ahem, the second thing is that our alliance is preparing to go to space soon!" Tony then told Peggy Carter that the alliance had purchased a spaceship and a star map through Sif.

"Therefore, during our absence, we will need your continued care regarding Earth."

Although not all Alliance members will travel to space, such as a few children and Melina, who is mainly responsible for taking care of them.

However, the two leaders of the alliance, Levi and Tony, as well as several key combatants, will definitely be there.

In this way, the alliance may lose its core leadership on Earth.

And clearly, Peggy Carter, with her rich experience and great courage, is the most suitable person to be this backbone.

"...To be honest, I'd rather you were inviting me to go to space with you." Peggy Carter was even more exasperated after hearing Tony's second point.

At first, she thought Tony was inviting her to go to space with him.

Unexpectedly, all they wanted was for her to manage the household.

"Don't worry, Ms. Carter, our main purpose for this trip is actually to explore the way. Once we can acquire more technology from other space civilizations and build more spaceships, you will eventually have the opportunity to travel to space," Li Wei said at the right moment, adding in his mind that there might even be a chance to see his old friend Red Skull.

“That makes me a little excited,” Peggy Carter said with a smile after hearing Levi’s words.

“Alright, the two things you’ve mentioned have both surprised me, so I think the third thing is going to be even more important—go ahead, I’m getting impatient.” Peggy Carter said she was impatient, but she remained seated and quite calm.

After all, he is an "old man" who has experienced many ups and downs, and he is always so calm when facing things.

“The third thing… is that he’s still alive,” Tony and Levi said, exchanging a glance.

"Who?" Peggy Carter hadn't yet realized the gravity of the situation.

"Captain America, Steve Rogers!"

With a loud bang, the luxurious solid wood office in front of Peggy Carter was smashed to pieces by her excited punch.

Who just said she was calm?
