Chapter 9: The Assassination of 20 Million

No one knows how long the war will last.

For their part, civilians hope that the smoke of gunfire will dissipate sooner rather than later and that life will return to peace.

But for others, it's a great opportunity to make a fortune.

Capitalists never miss any opportunity to amass wealth.

Many people know that before the United States entered this world war, it sold a large amount of weapons and equipment to the Axis and the Allies at the same time, so as to make a fortune.

Among them is Stark Industries, which has gained fame in recent years.

The main reason why it was able to grow rapidly and leap to stand shoulder to shoulder with those old military-industrial complexes was that Howard Stark seized the opportunity.

The other side not only used his clever mind, plus some useful inventions, which was appreciated by the Ministry of Defense.

Moreover, with the huge wealth earned, he opened the door to the upper class, thus laying a broad and good network foundation.

In just a few decades, he has become a generation of military industrial tycoons.

In addition to the rapidly growing Stark Industries, oil companies are also seizing the opportunity.

Through neutral countries like Switzerland, they broke through the British blockade and shipped barrels of oil to Germany, so as to make huge profits and make a fortune.

Ford, as a multinational corporation and industrial giant, is even more exaggerated.

They even helped the Germans produce trucks to make covert political investments.

So, later the founder of the Ford Company, Henry Ford, was awarded the Grand Cross of Merit – the highest medal awarded to foreigners by the Na Purse in Germany.

It can be seen from this that there is no camp for capital.

They have only one purpose, and that is to harvest wealth.

Even if the United States now enters the war and joins the Allies camp, and the world situation is becoming more and more serious, it still cannot stop the speculators from thinking carefully.

……

With a black coat and a mask, Rick was given a mission he couldn't refuse on this cold day.

What's more, during this period, someone was able to pay 20 million dollars to kill people, and of course he had to take it.

If you don't answer, you're an idiot.

The mission goal is Abraham Erskine!

That is, the doctor who made the super soldier serum and the American buttocks.

To be honest, Rick isn't very interested in what super soldier serum, is it stronger than a Saiyan?

Lao Tzu is now a mutant Saiyan, so there is no psychological pressure to kill Abraham Erskine, at most he will kill Steve Rogers after he becomes a super soldier.

Bay, ferry.

Standing next to the ship, Rick looks across the sea at Manhattan, New York, and can see a forest of high-rise buildings, in addition to the striking Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty is also faintly visible.

In 43 years, Manhattan was the area with the highest concentration of high-rise buildings in the world at that time, and the economy was also very developed. Because the world is at war, the relative safety of the United States has attracted many Europeans to take refuge, and it has almost all the best scientists and scientists in the world.

One of them was Dr. Erskine, a German scientist who was a colleague of Schmidt. The latter forcibly injected the serum, and the inflated ambition made Erskine deeply frightened, and he also discovered the disadvantages of the super soldier serum, strengthening the various indicators of the human body at the same time, even the spirit was strengthened.

The good guys get better, and the bad guys get worse.

Based on information provided by Schmidt's employer, Rick was able to locate the location of his mission.

An ordinary shop, located on an ordinary street, in a hurrying crowd, a few children chasing and playing.

Antique shops are unremarkable, and in Brooklyn, such shops are ubiquitous, and without Schmidt's Hydra intelligence capabilities, Rick himself would not have been able to find them on his own.

He did not show up, but hid in the darkness, observing his surroundings.

On the side of the street, several men in hats gathered, holding newspapers in their hands as if discussing current affairs, and their eyes swept around from time to time.

These people are invisible to Rick, because they are so distinct compared to ordinary people, like lions hiding among sheep.

"There should be an agent of Hydra here."

Rick felt that he had prepared a mask, otherwise he would have been easily exposed.

About twenty minutes had passed, and a black sedan pulled up on the side, and a woman in a military uniform but without a military rank walked into the antique shop with a small, thin young man.

"Ms. Carter, what are we doing here?"

"Don't talk too much, come in with me."

Rick was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he would actually catch up with the beginning of the plot today, this is too much of a coincidence, right?

The man and woman just now were Captain America and Agent Carter, who had not yet developed, and the super soldier serum was amazing, and Steve Rogers was as thin as a hemp pole, and he could become bigger than Carter when he went out later.

Rick didn't get to see the two of them, and in terms of their backs, Agent Carter's figure was ...... Overweight.

He didn't continue to wait outside, since the mission goal was determined inside, and he also took the task, of course he had to let the mission goal die.

Otherwise, how can you ensure that your death legend has a 100% mission completion rate?

With incredible speed, Rick was able to infiltrate at an incredible angle, and this time he had something to help clean the cobwebs, so he didn't get anything dirty.

He crawled upside down on the ceiling, and neither the agents stationed there nor the American military looked up, so he didn't notice the infiltrated Rick at all.

"It started with a series of minimally invasive injections to inject serum into the muscles. Once this step is complete, it triggers drastic changes in the cells......"

Rick discovers Dr. Erskine.

Dr. Erskine patiently explained the process as the metal device's casing slowly closed.

"Let's start the instrument!"

Dr. Erskine prayed.

A metal instrument connected to the cable is used to inject a sizzling strong current.

A burst of white light burst out!

Then Steve let out a scream.

"Sizzle—it just sounds painful."

Rick thought.

After five minutes, the experiment of serum injection was carried out to the final stage.

The power switch of the metal instrument has been twisted to 70 percent.

A dazzling white light that almost flooded the surrounding space.

A roar of intense pain emanated from inside the metal instrument.

That's Rogers!

The process of injecting serum was like a thousand knives to him, cutting every cell and nerve in his body.

Especially as the energy delivery value increases, the more violent the transformation has to endure, and the greater the pain caused to the physical and mental level!

"Steve!"

Erskine's right hand trembled, and it was well known that the injection of serum might cause the death of the subject.
