Courtyard House: Initial Donation of 50 Million

The smoke from the Stark Industries underground secret base gradually dissipated, but the burnt remains of the Iron Monger still emitted wisps of black smoke, and broken mech parts were scattered all over the ground. The mind-blowing battle between the dimensional knights had left all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents present with an extreme shock.

Nick Fury stood alone in the center of the ravaged battlefield, his black trench coat swaying slightly in the lingering heat. His single eye was fixed on the now-empty entrance to the passage, his eyes churning with complex emotions, and his already dark complexion grew even more somber and grim.

He originally intended to reap the benefits of this scheme without lifting a finger.

But no one could have predicted that Wang Huanbo's sudden intervention would completely disrupt all his plans.

At this moment, the extreme calmness and strategic vision cultivated by Fury's years as a special agent completely dominated his thoughts, dispelling all his suspicions. He had previously assumed that Wang Huanbo's extraordinary physique stemmed from a mutation breakthrough of the Super Soldier Serum, but today, the overwhelming combat power of the Imperial Knight Armor completely overturned all his assumptions.

At that moment, Fu Rui finally understood everything.

Most importantly, Wang Huanbo's uncle-nephew relationship with Tony Stark is deeply ingrained. He knows Tony's personality very well: proud, grateful, protective of his own, and extremely averse to being secretly spied on or tested. If he insists on pursuing Wang Huanbo relentlessly, he will only exacerbate the conflict with Tony and personally sever all future possibilities of recruiting this top-tier fighter.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury wields special authority, yet he is also well-versed in the rules of officialdom and the balance of power. If Tony were truly offended and pushed to the opposite side, Fury, with his wealth, technology, and connections, could easily hinder S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operations at every turn, making his Avengers plans extremely difficult. He can suppress various forces, but there's no need for him to needlessly create such an insurmountable enemy.

Suspending all investigations and surveillance of Wang Huanbo, maintaining a superficial peace, not interfering with each other, avoiding grudges and probing, focusing on stabilizing the relationship with Tony, and making concessions for the overall interests of the Avengers is the most rational and long-term strategic choice.

In the midst of this somber and oppressive atmosphere, a rapid and joyful sound of footsteps quickly approached.

A simple sentence, like the first rays of dawn, instantly dispelled all the gloom and depression in Fu Rui's heart.

Coulson composed himself and quickly recounted the intelligence: "Our Arctic exploration team has successfully excavated Captain Steve Rogers's frozen body from the deepest glacial crevasse in Greenland. The machine is perfectly preserved and undamaged. The agency has immediately dispatched a dedicated transport aircraft to the Arctic Circle to bring the Captain back to SHIELD's dedicated medical base for standby."

Nick Fury couldn't help but let out a low shout, his face finally losing its gloom and revealing a long-lost joy, his chest filled with excitement and anticipation.

In the final battle to pursue Red Skull, in order to prevent the Tesseract from leaking out and protect the world's safety, he resolutely piloted his fighter jet into the deep-sea glacier of the Arctic, and mysteriously disappeared, remaining silent for seventy years.

If he is successfully awakened, a super soldier with a pure heart, top combat power, and absolute justice will return once again!

Steve Rogers, with his calm demeanor, top-notch combat skills, and exceptional leadership, is the perfect candidate to be the first captain of the Avengers team and is the most solid cornerstone of this super team.

In addition, Black Widow Natasha Romanoff and top agent Hawkeye Barton were already on his shortlist, their loyalty and combat capabilities guaranteed. And then there's Dr. Banner, rumored to transform into the Hulk when he loses control of his emotions; his terrifying power is also an indispensable top-tier asset to the team.

"Pass down the order." Fury composed himself and issued the command in a deep voice, "Express full-speed escort, ensuring Captain Steve's absolute safety. The entire medical team is on standby, ready to be activated!"

Meanwhile, in the Malibu villa, there's a top-tier underground laboratory.

The remaining shrapnel in his body had lost its stable magnetic field binding it and was slowly moving towards the core of his heart. With each heartbeat, he was accompanied by excruciating pain, making it extremely difficult for him to even stand up.

"Tony, don't push yourself. Lie down immediately and prepare to have the core replaced." Ethan stepped forward to support the swaying Tony, his tone calm and professional.

Despite the excruciating pain in his chest, Tony nodded slightly and, with the help of others, slowly lay down on the sterile operating table. Jarvis conscientiously turned off unnecessary light sources in the laboratory and activated the sterile purification system to create an optimal environment for the surgery.

Wang Huanbo stood by, helping to stabilize the precision instruments throughout the process, constantly monitoring Tony's vital signs and fluctuations in his internal magnetic field to prevent any unexpected risks; Ethan focused on controlling the details of the surgery, accurately disassembling the fixing wires, and carefully removing the completely aged and depleted reactor from Tony's chest.

"Leave it to me."

Having experienced this life-or-death separation, she had long since shed her former competence and composure, her eyes filled with unconcealed heartache and worry, and every movement she made was extremely gentle.

The brand-new core radiated a clear, stable, deep blue light, brimming with energy and possessing a well-ordered magnetic field. She held her breath, bent down, precisely aligned it with the wound on Tony's chest, and carefully inserted it little by little into his chest cavity, meticulously connecting each intricate circuit to firmly secure the new power core.

The next second, the brand-new Ark Reactor instantly started up, and a steady blue halo instantly covered the entire wound, while pure and stable magnetic field power spread out instantly.

The extreme suffocation and excruciating pain quickly subsided, and a surge of energy flowed through his bloodstream throughout his body. Tony's pale face regained color at a visible pace, his rapid and disordered breathing gradually stabilized, and his tense body completely relaxed.

"I'm alive," Tony murmured, his tone carrying a hint of relief at surviving a close call.

Tony looked at the girl with worried eyes and felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He nodded solemnly.

The most dangerous hurdle was eventually overcome safely.
