"Boom!" Just as Nick Fury's heart sank, a loud noise reached his ears. His co-driver's door was ripped off by Alfred. Despite the vehicle's reinforced design, enduring such a long attack was already impressive.
Moreover, it was due to the inherent weakness in a door's design that Alfred, after repeated attacks, managed to tear it off. Unless Nick Fury was wealthy enough to build the entire vehicle out of Vibranium, including the internal components and furnishings, resisting all external forces was impossible...
Clearly, this world's Nick Fury wasn't that greedy or affluent. He probably couldn't afford a vehicle entirely made of Vibranium, unless he was willing to sacrifice numerous secret bases.
"Bang!"
However, now wasn't the time to consider these issues. When Nick Fury saw Alfred tear off his door, he decisively pulled out his pistol and fired at Alfred! "Snap!" Nick Fury didn't expect Alfred to catch the bullet with a flick of his arm, appearing to have captured it in his hand.
"Hmph! Impossible! I don't believe you can catch a bullet!" Nick Fury's face darkened, and he scoffed in disbelief.
"Plop!" As soon as Nick Fury finished speaking, Alfred coldly smiled and opened his palm, dropping the bullet onto the ground.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
What Alfred didn't expect was that Nick Fury deliberately provoked him. As Alfred opened his palm, more bullets poured from Nick Fury's gun, aiming for Alfred's head! It seemed that, despite Valon's repeated warnings to Alfred not to get arrogant, Alfred had not changed much. Even Alfred himself realized this issue, but the influence of the Super Soldier Serum on one's temperament was hard to control...
Yet, what happened next caused Nick Fury's pupils to shrink. As Alfred instinctively shielded his eyes, the bullets hit his arm, deforming and falling to the ground! Clearly, Alfred in this state was no longer afraid of bullets. Probably only heavy machine guns or artillery could affect him now.
After all, Alfred was no ordinary Super Soldier. His strength was greater than the mutated animal warriors, comparable to an abomination!
At least in terms of attack and defense, Alfred was not outmatched. As for his healing ability, Alfred had not shown much yet...
This showed that the effects of the Super Soldier Serum might not just be 'the good get better, the bad get worse'. Apart from the forced death rate, there seemed to be a setting where 'the strong get stronger'.
No wonder Steve's records left in the military were broken time and again. His actual combat strength really couldn't keep up with the updates, but at least he had a resilient heart and a balanced passive...
"Boom!" The scene shifted back to Alfred and Nick Fury. After being deceived by Nick Fury, Alfred, furious and ashamed, threw a punch at Nick Fury's body, seemingly forgetting Valon's instruction not to kill Nick Fury.
With a loud crash, Nick Fury's body slammed against the car door, deforming it severely. Even though Nick Fury had injected something similar to the Super Soldier Serum and was far stronger than an average person, he should have been blown away by such a force...
However, a light emitted from Nick Fury's watch protected him. Not only was he not blown away, but he also didn't suffer any injuries and looked up at Alfred, slightly relieved.
"There's still a chance! With the dog charm, I might hold out until reinforcements arrive!" A thought flashed through Nick Fury's mind. "But, this guy's strength is terrifying. A small force might not be able to deal with him..."
"Huh? Not dead?" Alfred was surprised to see Nick Fury alive and remembered Valon's words. He relaxed a bit, glad Nick Fury wasn't dead, as it would have been hard to explain to Valon.
"Boom!" Just as Alfred was reconsidering his approach, Nick Fury seized the opportunity to counterattack. He punched Alfred, causing his own fist to ache without harming Alfred at all.
"Heh, trash! Do you think you can hurt me?" Alfred sneered at Nick Fury's feeble punch. Suddenly feeling a sense of danger, he instinctively dodged to the side.
"Zap!"
"Swoosh!"
Two sounds followed. The first was Nick Fury trying to grab Alfred but only tearing his clothes as Alfred dodged.
The second was a laser emitted from Nick Fury's watch. As the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., it was unlikely he wouldn't have any protective weapons. In this world, laser weapons were futuristic technology to ordinary people but not uncommon for people like Nick Fury.
Unfortunately, even with another cunning plan, Nick Fury failed again, and Alfred dodged the laser beam.
"Heh, well done! You're seeking death!" Angry, Alfred roared at Nick Fury and grabbed him from the car, aiming a mountain-splitting palm at Nick Fury's head!
After injecting the Super Soldier Serum, Alfred's strength increased manifold, but so did his temper. Angered again, he forgot Valon's words and aimed to burst Nick Fury's head like a watermelon! "Thud!" Nick Fury hit the ground hard, creating a small crater. He felt death's approach but remained unharmed, sitting on the ground.
"Huh? No! The charm!" Alfred finally calmed down, remembering his mission and noticing the glowing watch on Nick Fury's arm, with the dog charm's light.
"Huh? You're after the charm?" Nick Fury was shocked. If Alfred didn't know about the charm, he could use his indestructibility and tricks to buy time. But now that Alfred knew, his tricks wouldn't work.
"Heh!" A cold smile appeared on Alfred's face as he approached Nick Fury. Just as Nick Fury got up to escape, Alfred caught him, lifting him like a chicken and forcefully removing the watch...
"Damn it! Puh!" Nick Fury spat in anger as his charm and watch were taken, but Alfred easily dodged it.
"Now, without the charm, can you still not die?" Alfred glared into Nick Fury's eyes with a chilling voice.
"Beep beep beep beep beep!" Just then, the sound of an armed helicopter echoed, and Alfred looked up to see a S.H.I.E.L.D. chopper approaching.
"Hmph!" Alfred snorted, knocking Nick Fury out with a pat on the neck. Calming down, he decided to take the charm back and spare Nick Fury, as per Valon's instructions.
"Boom!" However, sparing Nick Fury didn't mean Alfred would handle him gently. He threw Nick Fury carelessly to the ground, unconcerned about potential injuries or fractures.
"Swoosh!" Next, Alfred hurled Nick Fury's vehicle at the approaching helicopter.
"Boom!" The pilot, stunned by the vehicle, tried to ascend quickly but was too late. The helicopter was hit and crashed in a fiery explosion.
At that moment, Alfred had already left with his companion. When S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel arrived, they found an unconscious Nick Fury and a scene of devastation.
"Boss! I'm back! This dog charm is really powerful, able to immunize against death..." Soon, Alfred returned to the secret base with the charm, excitedly reporting to Valon.
"Well done!" Valon, already informed by his subordinates, didn't blame Alfred for not killing Nick Fury. After all, Alfred had successfully completed the mission.
As for the commotion and operating in a busy area, that was within Valon's tolerance...
"Well done!" Valon took the dog charm, his eyes gleaming with excitement. It was the last one needed, and with it, all twelve charms collected from Super Search Division and District 13 were now in his possession. This meant that all twelve charms were now gathered by Valon! "Twelve charms are all here. Any changes in the secret chamber?" Valon asked cautiously, holding the charms.
"Report, boss! No!" came the swift report about the secret chamber. "The statue is the same as before!"
"Holy Lord, twelve charms..." Valon's eyes sparkled, as if contemplating something. But he was interrupted by a call.
"Valon!" It was from Alexander Pierce, furious. "How dare you attack Nick Fury? You almost killed him?!"
"He's not dead, right? Just a black man, what's the big deal?" Valon replied nonchalantly. As a veteran gang heir, he scorned someone like Nick Fury.
"Not a big deal? He's the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.! A key figure in our growth! Our current scale owes much to him!" Alexander Pierce fumed.
"Is he one of us?" Valon sneered. With the twelve charms, he was confident. "If you valued him so much, why not include him? Clearly, you don't value him that much!"
"That's because you don't understand! He manages S.H.I.E.L.D. to help us develop swiftly. If he became one of us, we couldn't grow safely!" Alexander Pierce retorted coldly. "But you must explain this incident!"
"Don't worry, I'll explain soon. Just wait!" Valon mocked, hanging up and contemplating the twelve charms…
