Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 606 Bait in New Jersey
Upon hearing this, Natasha paused for a moment, then her mind raced.

"Everything makes sense now."

"There's something wrong with that ship. You and Fury need to find a way to get on."

Steve, however, angrily grabbed Natasha's arm and questioned her:
"Don't make me ask you a second time."

When confronted by Steve, Natasha admitted she didn't know the details, but she did reveal one piece of information she did know.

“I don’t know what secrets that ship holds, but I do know some information about the people who attacked Nick Fury.”

Upon hearing this, Steve Rogers was momentarily stunned; Natasha actually knew.

Under Steve's gaze, Natasha slowly said:

"Actually, I had met that person before Rose Manor, the man with the metal arm."

"Most intelligence agencies do not believe in his existence; those who do call him the Winter Soldier."

"Over the past fifty years, he has been involved in more than twenty assassinations."

Upon hearing this, Steve countered with a question:

"For 50 years, even though he wore a mask, he didn't look like an old man at all."

Natasha recounted her experience:

"That might be a title, not a representation of a person."

“Five years ago, I was escorting a nuclear weapons engineer out of Iran. When we were almost in Odessa, someone shot out my tires, and the car went out of control and fell off a cliff. We escaped.”

"The Winter Soldier is there too."

"When he saw me blocking his way, he shot me right through the hole and killed the engineer."

Natasha pulled up her clothes, revealing the gunshot wound on her stomach, three fingers' width to the right of her navel.

"I still remember that silver-white metal arm."

Looking at the gunshot wound on Natasha's stomach proved that he wasn't just making up stories.

Natasha said self-deprecatingly:

"I can't wear a bikini anymore."

Steve, in a very straightforward manner, said:

"You must look terrible in a bikini right now."

Natasha was speechless for a moment, then continued:

"With our capabilities, tracking him is unrealistic; I've tried."

"Moreover, he has rarely shown his face in the past five years, except for one time at Rose Manor, and that was not by himself but by a team of super soldiers."

"Do you know what this means?"

Steve said:
"They have the ability to produce super soldier serum."

"After all, it's extremely difficult to assemble a team of superhumans who excel in physical enhancement."

Natasha said:
"So we're not facing just one person, but a squad of super soldiers, and even the forces behind them."

"After all, this group of people didn't just appear out of thin air."

Steve nodded and said:

"It's indeed a bit difficult for just the two of us. Could you contact Smith Doyle?"

Nick Fury's dying wish was that Smith Doyle could be trusted, but at the time, there were many people and suspicious individuals in the intensive care unit, and coupled with Smith Doyle's rejection, he left the room without having much communication with him.

Natasha said:
"The Inspector General is at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. Are you planning to walk right into a trap?"

"I heard you just escaped from inside."

Hearing Natasha's words, Steve Rogers felt somewhat helpless; he really didn't dare to go back to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters now.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Natasha smiled and took out the USB drive that Nick Fury had given to Steve.

"With this in hand, he will come to us on his own, or we will find him."

"So we need some allies, like our Whip Lady."

Steve took the USB drive back from Natasha and then said:
"Let's see what he really wants."

"As for Jessica Jones, I know where she lives."

······
the other side.

Alexander Pierce was speaking with the Security Council members when he began to say:
“Nick Fury was brutally murdered, and any normal person would call him a martyr, not a traitor.”

British council members questioned:

"Then why is he a traitor? It's because he allowed mercenaries to hijack his own ship."

A member of the French council added:

“Nick Fury used his relationship with you to force the council to delay the Insight Project.”

"He knew this plan would expose his illegal activities; to put it nicely, he lied to you; to put it bluntly..."

Pierce looked at the five Security Council members and began to speak:
"Do you want me to resign to take responsibility?"

"I can write my resignation right now."

At this point, the female council member representing the United States said:
"We can discuss this later."

Upon hearing this, Pierce exclaimed in surprise:
"You really want me to resign."

At this point, a member of the British council said:
“We have already discussed it, Mr. Minister.”

"The council has decided to immediately restart the Insight Project. If you want to talk a good game, now's the time."

Hearing the council's opinion, Pierce was secretly pleased. Just as he had predicted, these people would take the initiative to advance the Insight Project.

“S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot remain without a director. I suggest that Smith Doyle become the acting director and take charge of S.H.I.E.L.D..”

"On the one hand, it can appease the internal workings of S.H.I.E.L.D., and on the other hand, with him around, such troublesome things will not happen again, and global interests can be better guaranteed. Even aliens will have to treat him with respect."

The French representative then spoke up:
"He's a bit too righteous and indignant; could he have some negative views about certain practices within S.H.I.E.L.D."

Pierce said:
"A strong bureau chief may have some minor drawbacks, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"Some non-compliant projects and behaviors should be abandoned."

"As the Inspector General of S.H.I.E.L.D., Smith Doyle did not dismantle the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.; he dealt with some scum and corrupt individuals."

"Do any of you have a better candidate?"

The US representative then spoke up:
"I agree!"

After thinking for a moment, the other representatives also said:
"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The French representative stated:

"I abstain!"

······
the other side.

Smith Doyle sat in his S.H.I.E.L.D. office, pondering Pierce's ideas.

Pierce wanted to promote him to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he naturally agreed without hesitation.

At the same time, he was also wondering whether the Insight Project would bring Hydra to the forefront.

Given the current proliferation of superhumans, the emergence of Inhumans, and his overwhelming strength, Pierce knew that the three space carriers in Project Insight wouldn't be particularly effective against top-tier superhumans, unless he was stupid.

In that case, Pierce would not expose Hydra, which is lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D., and bring it to the forefront.

In this way, Pierce would not need to take control of S.H.I.E.L.D. himself to expose Hydra, and it would be a better option to push him into a position of power.

Hydra could continue to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D., allowing the vampire-affiliated organization to continue its expansion. However, Pierce had no idea that he already knew about Hydra, and that with the help of the vampire clan, he could easily expose the Hydra agents hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now all he needs to do is sit in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D., await the Security Council's appointment, and completely take control of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He has now deployed agents from the Inspectorate to control various key departments and positions within S.H.I.E.L.D.

······
the other side.

Natasha and Steve arrived at an Apple store inside a large shopping mall. Natasha plugged the USB drive into the computer and started operating it.

"This driver has a Level 6 location system, so once we activate it, S.H.I.E.L.D. can locate us."

After observing his surroundings, Steve spoke:
"how much time is required?"

"Nine minutes, let's begin now."

As the drive started, S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately received the location information and dispatched a team of six superhumans led by Rumlow, plus nine commando members, to the location. All six members had been injected with a physical enhancement agent.

While Natasha was hacking the USB drive, she said:
“Frey’s guess is right. Someone is trying to hide something on that ship. This drive is protected by some kind of artificial intelligence.”

"It has been reorganizing itself, resisting my commands."

Steve looked at the computer in front of him and asked:
"Can you crack it?"

Natasha said nonchalantly:

"The person who developed this program is a bit smarter than me."

"But it's only a little bit."

At this moment, Rumlow and his group arrived outside the mall. Sixteen people got out of four large SUVs, all dressed in plainclothes, with guns loaded and tucked into their waistbands, and then walked into the building.

Natasha is still working on the decryption.

“I’m going to try the tracking program, the one that S.H.I.E.L.D. uses to track malware.”

Even if we can't read the document, we might be able to trace its origin.

Just then, the sales assistant came over and asked:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Natasha looked at the sales assistant and said:
"It's okay, my fiancé and I are choosing a place for our honeymoon."

Steve said with a smile:

Yes, we're getting married.

The sales assistant said with a smile:

"Congratulations, where are you headed?"

Steve looked at the computer screen, where the tracking map showed New Jersey.

New Jersey.

The sales assistant looked at Steve's glasses with a surprised expression.

Just when Steve thought he had been recognized, the sales assistant spoke up:
“I also have these glasses.”

Natasha said with a smile as she operated the device:

"Wow, you two really do look like twins."

The sales assistant laughed and said, "Haha, I also wish I had your figure."

As he spoke, he gestured to show Steve's strong and perfect physique.

The deliveryman then added, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

"My name is Ben Aaron."

Steve nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

After speaking, the sales assistant turned and left.

At this moment, Rumlow had already led his men into the mall, and Steve spoke up to remind him:

"Nine minutes as agreed, almost up."

Natasha laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, it's all taken care of."

At that moment, a detailed address appeared in front of the two: Witton, New Jersey.

Seeing Steve's surprised expression, Natasha said:
Are you familiar with this place?

This was the address where Steve had his military training, so he began to speak:
"We're familiar with each other, let's go."

After speaking, he unplugged the USB drive and walked outside with Natasha.

Just as Steve stepped out of the Apple Store and into the mall lobby, he noticed the arrival of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

"Standard tactical squad, two in front, two behind, and two more on the flanks."

"If we are discovered, we will work together to finish this quickly."

Natasha, however, noticed the combat capability detector the agent was carrying and said with some helplessness:

"Get ready to fight."

With their current combat power, they are simply too conspicuous to avoid.

At this moment, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent arrived at the Apple store where Natasha and her group had been. After looking around and not finding their target, he immediately reported:
No signal source detected.

Rumlow gave the order:

"Search every floor."

Several groups of agents reported separately:
"No target found on the third floor."

"No target found on the second floor."

Hearing that no one had noticed, Rumlow gave another order:

"Search from the top floor downwards and meet up with me."

Rumlow then took the escalator upstairs, while Natasha and Steve took the elevator downstairs.

Rumlow tapped his combat power detector and instantly locked onto Natasha and Steve Rogers.

"Got you."

Rumlow shouted:
“Natasha, Steve has betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D. and is now wanted. Come with me to capture him.”

As he spoke, Rumlow jumped toward the two of them, drawing his stun gun from his waist.

At that moment, Natasha grabbed Steve and asked:
"Are you telling the truth?"

Rumlow watched as Natasha grabbed Steve and nodded, saying:
"I have no reason to lie to you. You can see it by logging into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal network."

As he spoke, Rumlow walked over and reached out to grab Steve Rogers.

At that moment, Natasha suddenly launched a sneak attack, kicking Rumlow.

"what!"

With the force of the kick, Rumlow was sent flying, and because he was on the escalator, he fell to the ground.

"bump!"

Rumlow got up from the ground, watched the two men running outside, and immediately gave the order through his headset:
"Steve Rogers is running towards the door in the lobby on the first floor."

"In addition, Agent Natasha assisted Steve, and is suspected of betraying S.H.I.E.L.D., and was arrested along with him."

Natasha and Steve were both superhumans, with incredible running speed; they had already run out of the mall before the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents could even catch up.
After the two left the mall, Natasha stole a car and drove towards New Jersey.

After Rumlow and his men chased after them out of the mall, they didn't see Steve Rogers. Actually, it wasn't that he couldn't catch up, but rather that he had been ordered to deliberately let the two go, chasing after them so they wouldn't have time to contact more people, and could only run towards the location in New Jersey.

However, Pierce had already planned to completely eliminate Steve Rogers at the base in New Jersey.
