The Void Walker in American Comics...

Chapter 39: Funerals and Acquaintances

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

The news of Howard's death spread throughout 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, mourning 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 looked very sad, and when Mu En was presenting flowers, he saw a familiar guy.

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

Looking at Pierce who came to pay his respects, Mu En was a little curious. He had never seen this guy around Pierce before.

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

After the funeral, Howard was put into the coffin and buried by everyone.

Pierce comforted Maria and said with a sad face:

"Regarding Howard's passing, I can only say that it 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 beyond words. He didn't expect Maria's acting skills to be so great.

As for Tony next to Maria, he had been crying so hard that his eyes were red.

"Alas!" Mu En sighed, "It's really unlucky to be deceived by my own father!"

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

Half a year after Howard's death, Maria also died of excessive grief.

This time Tony cried even more miserably. In just half a year, he lost his parents and became a complete loner.

Because he didn't want to be reminded of the past, Tony never came to the farm again and left the management of the farm to Bucky.

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 faked their deaths did not choose to go out. They were very cautious and had been living in the underground space of the farm.

"You really don't plan on meeting Tony? That kid was deceived badly!"

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

"Not now!" Howard smiled and shook his head. "Tony must stay like this. We must divert Hydra's attention."

"Okay, this is your family affair anyway, but I have to remind you that at your current age, you may not survive until the day when Hydra is destroyed."

This is what Mu En is really worried about. After all, he and his wife are ordinary people, and their bodies cannot last for too long.

If Tony hadn't been told the truth earlier, they might have really been separated forever.

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

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

The equipment beside him was prepared for injecting the 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 stopped trying to persuade him. After all, Howard had his own plans.

……

Driving a pickup truck through the city, Mu En planned to buy some daily necessities as the supplies on the farm were almost running out.

Suddenly, several police cars with sirens on appeared at the intersection ahead. This aroused his interest in watching the fun, so he drove after them.

The police car didn't go far and stopped next to a Blockbuster video store. "Oh!" Mu En raised his eyebrows. "It's going to be fun."

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

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

Mu En had seen many robbery videos, but those guys either robbed banks or robbed jewelry. This was the first time he saw someone robbing a video store.

What's the point of robbing here?
Selling pirated CDs?

Sitting in the car and watching the police performance quietly, I saw the policemen get out of the car one after another and check the situation in the video store.

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

"Isn't this guy... the one 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 up 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, and a woman was standing in the booth.

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

He hadn't seen the Kree combat uniform for a few years and he almost forgot what it looked like.

Stroking his chin, Mu En smiled.

"I didn't expect the Kree to come again. This time, they will definitely not come back!" Then he turned his attention to the woman again. "Speaking of which, could this woman be Carol's spendthrift bitch?"

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

Because the distance was too far, and the phone booth's plastic awning made it impossible for him to see the other person's face, so he had no choice but to get out of the car and walk over.

Dong dong dong

The black man in the suit knocked on the awning of the phone booth and the woman turned to look.

"Hello Miss, did you see a lady falling from the sky? She smashed a big hole in the video store over there. 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 calmly and pointed in a direction.

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

The questions and answers between the two made Mu En laugh. These two guys, one was asking questions even though he knew the answer, while the other was pretending to be stupid.

However, he also knew the identities of these people. The woman was Carol, but she had obviously lost her memory. The short-haired black man was the future famous Malfak.

"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 Moon.

"You are Pierce's subordinate, right? 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 deeply impressed by the powerful bodyguard in front of him. Both attacks that Howard experienced were handled by this man alone.

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

"Really? That old guy isn't dead yet?" Mu En curled his lips with some regret, then turned to look at Carol and said, "Miss, where did you buy this costume? I want to buy a few sets for fun."
