Natasha also looked shocked and said, "I didn't expect that Shadow Knight was Adam. I'm sorry, it was my mistake. Although I spent some time alone with him in Africa, I didn't expect that he was Adam. After all, the difference is too great."
Nick Fury was furious upon hearing this and said, "You're still trying to deny it? The so-called encounter with Adam Stark after the mission was a complete lie. Adam Stark must have seen you at Hydra's underground base, which gave the priest a chance to escape! And that other time, he was right next to you when you called me. Are you two in cahoots again? Trying to deceive me?"
Natasha said coldly, "Everything I said is true, and you know how sharp Shadow's hearing is. Hmph, since you don't trust me, I might as well resign!"
Nick Fury paused for a moment, then said, "You, what do you think this place is? You think you can just quit whenever you want? Do you think this is a game?"
Natasha said expressionlessly, "You promised me that I could leave anytime I wanted! Are you going to go back on your word?"
Maria Hill, who had been watching this from the sidelines, couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up: "You've gone off-topic! What we need to do now is deal with Adam Stark. We now know he is the Shadow, and his actions yesterday have revealed his identity to everyone. What should we do now?"
Nick Fury scoffed. "Looks like I'll have to meet him in person."
Upon hearing this, Maria Hill said, "I think the last person Adam Stark wants to see is you! Have you forgotten about Natasha?"
Nick Fury was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I was so angry I lost my mind. Let Coulson handle it. It seems he hasn't had a bad influence on Coulson."
Natasha responded sarcastically, "That's why Coulson is better at interpersonal skills than you."
Maria Hill was speechless after seeing this, and said, "Can you guys stop arguing? We're discussing serious matters!"
Nick Fury snorted and said, "Alright, Natasha, stop making a scene. Hurry up and check on Howard Stark and his wife. I have some suspicions about this car accident. It's too coincidental, something's not right just when we're focusing our attention on Africa."
The naturally suspicious Nick Fury always felt that this matter was too much of a coincidence. Therefore, he insisted that Natasha examine it. Natasha nodded without saying anything. Although she disliked Nick Fury, his intuition was sometimes very accurate, and she could also use this incident to ease her relationship with Adam.
Nick Fury nodded slightly after looking at it. He asked, "By the way, where's the priest? We agreed to capture him alive, but he's not among the prisoners. Did he escape again?"
After hearing this, Natasha said, "The priest has been torn to pieces by Wolverine. Because we were stopped by the wizard's illusion, I didn't have time to let him capture the priest alive. When I arrived, I found that the priest was already dead."
Nick Fury frowned and said, "Have you confirmed it yourself?"
Natasha nodded and said, "It's confirmed, and his body has been burned. He's definitely dead."
Nick Fury nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Natasha and Maria Hill knew that the other party was asking them to leave. Natasha didn't want to stay any longer, so she said goodbye and left Nick Fury's office with Maria Hill.
Nick Fury pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone, dialed a number, and asked, "Doctor, how's the situation on your end?"
A cold voice came from the other end: "He's going to conduct his final experiment tomorrow. I tampered with the equipment. Haha, tomorrow we'll be able to see the power of that drug, which will prove my lab was right."
After hearing this, Nick Fury said, "Don't worry, as long as there are results, you will get everything you want!"
After hearing this, the doctor laughed and said, "Then you'll just have to wait and see!" Then he hung up the phone.
On the other side, after Adam woke up in the morning, he found Christine asleep on the sofa with her head resting on it. Adam felt a pang of pity when he saw this. In order to prevent Christine from noticing, he slowly floated up and picked her up, intending to take her to his room. However, Christine woke up unexpectedly.
"Hmm, you're awake, darling?"
Adam nodded and said, "Yes, I'm awake. You silly little thing, why are you sleeping here?"
After hearing this, Christine said, "I want to stay with you. I don't want to leave you at a time like this."
Adam asked with a smile, "Not angry anymore? You didn't say a word yesterday, I thought you were angry."
Christine shook her head and said, "I wasn't actually angry at all. I just felt like I wasn't good enough for you."
After hearing this, Adam tapped Christine's nose and said, "You silly girl, don't think like that anymore. You know, you're my girlfriend, Adam Stark. You need to have some confidence in yourself!"
Christine hugged Adam and said, "Yes, I won't overthink it anymore. I thought about it all night last night. I can't live without you anymore, Adam. I love you."
After hearing this, Adam softly said, "I love you too." Then he gently hugged Christine. Adam had already lost his parents, and he didn't want to lose anyone else.
After a brief moment of tenderness, Christine broke free from Adam's embrace and said, "Go see Tony. He had a tough day yesterday, and he's been blaming himself for arguing with your father."
Adam nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, go and rest for a while. There's a lot to do today."
Christine nodded and said, "Okay." Then she left.
Adam went to Tony's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response. Adam frowned and went into the room, finding Tony staring blankly at the family photo in his hands, tears streaming down his face. Adam felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this.
"Tony, are you alright?"
Tony wiped away his tears after hearing this and said, "Yeah, it's nothing. I was just thinking about things from the past. What brings you here?"
Adam said, "I'm sorry, Tony, but if I hadn't left, I might have been able to save Father and Mother."
Tony shook his head and said, "I know none of us want this. We should look forward, not be discouraged."
Adam couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and said, "Hehe, I came in to comfort you, but it turns out I'm the one who needs your comfort now."
After hearing this, Tony said, "Heh, what can we do? We're brothers, so it doesn't matter who comforts whom. We only have each other left now."
Adam said, "Alright, Tony, you know we need to meet with Attorney Stephen today to handle some things. Hurry up and wash up, it's almost time."
Tony nodded and said, "Okay."
Adam smiled slightly, turned around, and prepared to leave Tony's room.
"elder brother?!"
Adam turned to Tony and asked, "What is it?"
Tony smiled slightly and said, "It's so good to have you."
Adam felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Hehe, that's what I was thinking too. Okay, stop overthinking and get ready." After saying that, he turned and left Tony's room, quickly wiping away his tears.
As Adam left Tony's room, he secretly vowed never to let anyone hurt his loved ones again, not even God! He vowed to protect Tony well until he truly grew up.
Adam looked at the portrait hanging in the living room and said softly, "Don't worry, I will protect my brother!"

Chapter 88 The Hulk
Ps:
Because of the fact that I was quite busy with work,
I couldn't write, so this chapter was written rather hastily. I hope you can understand. I suddenly lost inspiration. It's really difficult to write things that are unrelated to the plot.
The deaths of Howard Stark and Maria Stark dealt a heavy blow to Adam and Tony. Moreover, Adam's reckless landing at Arlington National Cemetery on the day of the funeral exposed his identity, making the whole world aware that Adam Stark was the superhero The Shadow.
Of course, this has no impact on Adam anymore. His main task now is to get Tony back on his feet so that he can inherit Howard Stark's position. As for himself, although he is not as wealthy as his father, he is still a self-made billionaire and does not need to inherit Stark Industries. Moreover, he does not like the military-industrial complex.
But when Adam woke up the next day and saw Tony, he discovered that although Tony usually seemed a bit carefree, he was much stronger than Adam had imagined. Adam smiled with relief, told Tony to get ready quickly, and then went downstairs, secretly vowing to protect his brother and Christine. He then went to the kitchen and made a simple breakfast.
Soon, Tony came out wearing a white suit. Seeing the breakfast Adam had set on the table, he laughed and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect it was you cooking. Where's Christine? Isn't she up yet?"
After hearing this, Adam said, "That silly girl Christine was sitting by the sofa yesterday, so I told her to go back and rest for a while. I'll call her later. Let's eat something now, Lawyer Stephen will be here soon."
Tony said "Oh," sat down at the dining table, and asked, "Is it about Stark Industries? Why don't you go?"
After hearing this, Adam said, "You should understand that I don't have that much time to manage the company, and I also have my own company. So I'll leave Stark Industries to you."
Tony was taken aback and said, "You really don't want it? That's a lot of money!"
Adam shrugged and said, "You know I don't really like arms dealing, which is why I started Dawn Corporation. That alone keeps me busy enough, so I'll leave Stark Industries to you. After all, you haven't started your own business yet."
Tony laughed immediately after hearing this and said, "Brother, do you think the heirs of other family businesses would think we're idiots if they heard us talking?"
Adam said, "Who knows? Maybe, but our family is different from those other people. With our combined abilities, inheriting our father's company will only accelerate our progress slightly."
Tony agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "That's true! With our abilities, we can certainly make a name for ourselves like Father." Tony did have that much confidence.
The two quickly finished their breakfast, and just then, Attorney Stephen arrived. So the two went out together to greet him.
After seeing Tony and Adam, Attorney Stephen went over and hugged them to express his regret over the deaths of the Howards, and then got down to business.
Attorney Stephen took out several documents and said, "This is Howard's will, which he made a few months ago. I'll start reading it now. If you have any questions, we can discuss them later."
Tony and Adam nodded. "Okay, go ahead and read it," Tony said. "Let's see what Father really thinks."
After listening, Attorney Stephen began reading Howard Stark's will. The will stipulated that Howard Stark would divide his 50% stake in the company into two parts: 30% to Tony Stark and 20% to Adam Stark. The remaining assets, except for houses and similar properties, would be donated to causes of hope, among other things.
After reading the will, Attorney Stephen asked, "This is the contents of the will. If you have no questions, sign your names here. After paying the estate tax, these things will be yours."
Adam nodded after hearing this and said, "Well, there isn't really a big problem. However, I already own a significant number of shares in Stark Industries, so I'll give Tony 10% of them as well."
Tony shook his head after hearing this and said, "This is not necessary. I already owned a lot of shares, so this 30% stake is enough."
After seeing this, Attorney Stephen kept remarking that in other families, such a fight over inheritance might have caused chaos, but he never expected that these two brothers would actually yield to each other. It was truly an enviable brotherly bond.
After some debate among the three, it was finally decided that Tony would inherit 135% of the shares, while Adam would inherit the remaining 15%. The two then signed their names on the newly established document, and the matter was temporarily settled. Afterwards, some trivial matters needed to be handled by Adam and Tony with the help of lawyer Stephen.
After a busy day, Adam returned home around 5 p.m., when he received a distress call from S.H.I.E.L.D. Phil Coulson, who said that a problem had occurred during an experiment, resulting in the accidental creation of a green giant. What was even more worrying was that this green giant had no consciousness of its own and only knew anger and destruction, and that Adam was able to help.
After receiving Phil Coulson's call, Adam asked Athena to find information about the incident. Soon, Athena sent the information she had gathered to Adam.
Athena sent a video file showing the Hulk escaping from the military research center, followed by some battle scenes. The video showed that the Hulk possessed superhuman strength and super healing abilities; his wounds healed rapidly, and his strength increased with each injury.
After seeing the video, Adam said, "What a troublesome bunch! I wonder what kind of experiments they're conducting that could create such a monster."
After hearing this, Athena said, "According to the data, they were analyzing and researching the super serum in the hope of creating super soldiers, but they failed in the end."
Adam shook his head after hearing this and said, "Didn't they say that the military had already given this experiment to Norman Osborn? How come they started the experiment on their own? They're a bunch of guys who won't learn until they're faced with a fatal mistake."
After hearing this, Athena said, "This experiment by the military was planned by General Ross, but it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. also contributed a lot. It is very likely that they heard that Mr. Norman Osborn had also joined the research, so they came up with this to speed up the research."
Adam said, "Alright, this guy has already made them suffer enough. Let's go! Oh, and tell Tony and Christine for me to make sure they're safe."
After hearing this, Athena said seriously, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely not let anything happen to them."
Adam nodded, put on his battle suit, and left New York, flying towards the place Athena had marked for him—the very place where the Hulk disappeared after being driven out by the military.
Adam was already very fast, and now that he had learned to fly, he arrived at the US border in just a few minutes, just as the Hulk was heading in the same direction.
After flying in the sky for a long time, Adam finally spotted the Hulk running through the jungle. This giant had green skin all over his body, short black hair, and blue jeans that were about to burst.
Upon seeing the blue jeans, Adam was instantly enraged: "These guys actually conducted human experiments! Damn it, not only did they conduct human experiments, but they also expect me to clean up their messes? Humph, you wish!" After saying that, in order to investigate the truth, Adam landed directly in front of the green giant.
The Hulk, already enraged by the annoying iron flies, casually dispatched a few and regained some of his composure, preparing to flee. He ran and ran until he reached a forest, where a guy swaggered right in front of him. Could anything be more infuriating? The Hulk was furious!
The Hulk roared and swung a punch, ready to kill the annoying creature in front of him. However, the Hulk clearly underestimated the human before him, because this human was none other than Adam. Seeing the fierce punch coming at him, Adam decided to test the Hulk's strength and swung his fist back at the Hulk. The two powerful forces collided with a loud boom, and the shockwave destroyed nearby trees, demonstrating just how powerful the force was.
Chapter 89 Bruce Banner
While Adam and Tony were dealing with some minor matters at Stark Industries, the Super Serum project, a collaboration between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the U.S. military, reached its most critical moment. At this crucial juncture, Sam Ethan, a young man manipulated by Doctor Who, tampered with the gamma-ray equipment and then sent Dr. Bruce Banner, who was in charge of the experiment, to inspect it.
Because the experiment had reached its most critical stage, Dr. Bruce Banner became anxious upon hearing that the equipment had malfunctioned. After all, the person in charge of this experiment was his girlfriend's father, and if he could complete the experiment, his relationship with his girlfriend might take a further step forward. Therefore, disregarding the objections of others, he rashly entered the laboratory and began to check the gamma-ray equipment. At that moment, the gamma-ray device suddenly started automatically and emitted gamma rays capable of instantly killing a human.
