Squeak!
He was warily surveying his surroundings when the door opened.
A woman, about the same age as Peggy Carter, entered with a warm and polite smile.
She even greeted Captain America.
"Good morning, or should I say, good evening?"
However, Captain America didn't fall for the female agent's act at all. He just stared at her intently. "Where am I?"
"You're in a hospital room in New York."
The female agent provided this answer as per the pre-arranged plan.
"Where am I?"
But that didn't convince Captain America. His gaze became increasingly intense.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"This game, it was a baseball game in 1941. I was there."
"So I'll ask again, where exactly am I!"
Seeing that Captain America was getting angry, and things were getting out of control, the female agent quietly sent a signal.
Two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, armed to the teeth, walked in, attempting to take control of the situation.
But in front of a cheat like Captain America, it was completely asking for trouble. He easily took them down.
Captain America just smashed through the walls of the so-called "sickroom," forcefully breaking out of the rehabilitation base.
He burst out onto a bustling street filled with traffic and excitement.
Where… where is this place?
He scanned his surroundings, taking in the closely packed skyscrapers, the giant billboards flashing with dazzling lights, and the futuristic cars moving back and forth.
And so much more.
Everything was a huge shock to Captain America, challenging his understanding of the world.
What exactly is this place?
It's completely different from the world he knew!
Screech! Screech!
Suddenly, a series of screeching brakes filled the air.
A fleet of S.H.I.E.L.D. agent vehicles screeched to a halt around Captain America, surrounding him.
Nick Fury, the bald-headed hero, appeared before Captain America.
"I apologize for the act, but it took time to tell you the truth."
Fury expressed his apologies to Captain America.
"What truth?"
"You've been asleep, Captain, for about seventy years."
Seventy years!
Captain America's first reaction was disbelief.
Even if he was a super soldier modified by the serum, it was impossible for him to sleep for seventy years without dying, right?
However, when he saw the world around him, so drastically changed, so unfamiliar, Captain America couldn't speak.
The reality was right in front of him; he couldn't deny it.
After finally recovering from the initial shock, Captain America couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret.
He had missed that date with Peggy.
Forever missed!
"Captain, if you'll come with me."
"I'm sure you have many questions."
Nick Fury waited until Captain America had processed everything before speaking again.
Captain America's reaction this time wasn't as intense.
After a moment's consideration, he agreed to Nick Fury's proposal.
He followed Nick Fury into the recently stormed-out medical base.
Captain America indeed had a lot of questions.
Just like that.
After sleeping in the Arctic for seventy years, Captain America was "revived" in this manner.
However, this news was currently only known to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.
Nick Fury chose to keep the matter secret.
From any perspective, it was not the right time to announce Captain America's rescue.
Even Captain America himself didn't want unnecessary attention.
Regardless, there was a seventy-year gap in time. Captain America still needed a considerable amount of time to recover and adapt.
That meant...
The famous Captain America, whose name resounded across the globe, would probably be a nobody for quite some time.
But...
This "nobody" was only in the eyes of ordinary people.
Besides the relevant personnel from S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, there was another person who knew about Captain America's rescue.
It wasn't Zhou Cheng, who was a transmigrator with a prophetic advantage.
Rather, it was another Diary owner, Tony Stark!
"Sir, we've just intercepted a very interesting video, which I believe you'll find quite fascinating."
"The video was uploaded to a personal social media account fifteen minutes ago, but was quickly deleted."
Inside the luxurious villa.
With Jarvis's voice, an image was instantly projected in front of the Playboy.
It was a video of Captain America breaking out of the rehabilitation center and causing chaos on the street.
"Captain America?"
"I knew it!"
Tony Stark glanced at Captain America in the image, not feeling surprised at all.
Just a slight complaint.
Ever since he'd encountered Coulson and the others in the Arctic, Tony Stark had put his search for Captain America on hold.
He patiently waited for several months before circling back to the Arctic again.
And what did he see?
The Playboy had made an even bigger discovery in the Arctic – he'd found Captain America's plane wreckage!
Furthermore, the wreckage showed signs of being cut into. After scanning the interior, it was completely empty, with no sign of Captain America.
Putting all this together, Tony Stark immediately realized that Captain America must have been rescued by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Coulson and the others are in the Arctic, they must be rescuing Captain America!
From then on.
Tony Stark had Jarvis keep an eye on the situation, and sure enough, something was discovered.
It's confirmed! Captain America was indeed rescued!
So a question naturally arose for Tony Stark.
Why wasn't Captain America discovered by a Russian oil team, but instead by S.H.I.E.L.D. beforehand?
Why was the development of this matter so different from the spoilers in the Diary?
With Tony Stark's intelligence, he naturally came to the same conclusion as Black Widow.
There were essentially two possibilities:
Either, this universe wasn't strictly following the development of the 199999 Universe, and some things were indeed deviating from it.
Or, someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. also possessed the Diary!
That's why they were doing things that deviated from the Diary's spoilers, just like he did when he sent away Stane ahead of time!
Which of these two possibilities was more likely?
Because S.H.I.E.L.D. discovering Captain America didn't seem illogical.
So, it was hard to say with the Playboy.
"Sir, your new assistant, Natasha Romanoff, has arrived."
Jarvis's voice sounded in his ear, reminding the Playboy as he pondered.
The reason she was a new assistant was that the original assistant, Pepper Potts, had been appointed CEO by Tony Stark.
Naturally, she could no longer be the Playboy's assistant.
"Natasha?"
"That Black Widow?"
"I really didn't expect Black Widow to be so... well-endowed."
Tony Stark shrugged slightly, a meaningful smile playing on the corners of his lips.
Ever since he learned that S.H.I.E.L.D. was sending a mole to be near him, the Playboy had become somewhat wary.
And the opportunity to get a new assistant was undoubtedly a golden one.
So, on the first day that Black Widow became his new assistant, Tony Stark secretly began investigating her.
Although Black Widow's fake profile was perfectly forged, so much so that even some intelligence agencies couldn't find any issues.
But unfortunately, it was useless in front of a cheat like Tony Stark.
Tony Stark directly had Jarvis perform facial recognition matching on Black Widow, the in-depth kind.
He successfully uncovered Black Widow's true identity.
The reason he hadn't exposed Black Widow yet was because Tony Stark wanted to use her as a medium to find out if S.H.I.E.L.D. actually had the Diary!
"Let her in."
After those thoughts flashed through the Playboy's mind, he casually instructed Jarvis.
Clang!
The glass door opened.
Wearing a red professional skirt suit, the Black Widow, whose figure was hot enough to be almost against the rules, walked in with a stack of files.
"Mr. Stark, there are some documents that require your signature."
Black Widow walked to Tony Stark's desk and placed a stack of files in front of the Playboy.
She even flipped to the signature page.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Tony Stark wasted no time, immediately waving his hand to sign his name at the bottom.
"Is this alright?"
"Yes, Mr. Stark. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Black Widow put away the document, greeted the Playboy, and then hurried off in her high heels.
Everything was normal from beginning to end, without any unusual reactions or movements.
It was as if she really was just an assistant.
Tony Stark was the same. It was as if he didn't know Black Widow was an undercover agent, treating her like an ordinary assistant.
He even deliberately used a lascivious gaze to "ogle" Black Widow, to fit his persona.
"Jarvis, let's get started!"
After Black Widow left, Tony Stark immediately gave Jarvis an order.
Buzz, buzz, buzz! Several highly realistic, almost undetectable electronic flies flew out.
They followed Black Widow.
Those were precisely the surveillance devices Tony Stark had specifically developed for Black Widow!
Hmph.
You, Nick Fury, think you can undercover me?
Just you wait to be undercover!
And that was that.
Following Nick Fury and Pierce's little show of undercover agents and double agents, Tony Stark was putting on a similar performance.
However, this show only lasted for half a month before it was interrupted by something.
The Playboy's birthday had arrived!
Even someone like Tony Stark, who usually didn't care about anything, valued his birthday very much.
That night.
Tony Stark held a lavish birthday party in his luxurious villa.
Almost half of New York's "top influencers" were invited.
The parking lot outside the Playboy's villa was already filled with all sorts of luxury cars.
Colonel Rhodes, Stark's good friend, and some other important figures were present.
Of course, the hot babes couldn't be missing either, and there were a lot of them.
Wait, wait, wait.
For a moment, the Playboy's mansion was filled with flashing lights, booming music, and a sea of people.
It was incredibly lively, incredibly grand.
It's worth mentioning that.
Because there was no impending death crisis, this time Tony Stark's birthday party was a lot more normal.
And as a matter of course.
Although it was a private party, given Tony Stark's status, his birthday party was still reported by the media.
"We can see luxury cars exiting the Malibu mansion area, most of them heading to Stark's party."
"I wonder what's different about Stark's birthday party now that he's become the 'Destroyer'?"
"Some hot girls are coming out, let's go interview them."
Before the TV screen.
Zhou Cheng, who was following the birthday party, felt quite surprised.
The birthday party was actually so peaceful? Nothing happened from beginning to end!
The banquet was already over, and Stark's luxury villa was still perfectly normal, with no "metal war" erupting.
Adding to that, Zhou Cheng had also noticed something before.
Tony Stark hadn't appeared at the F1 Grand Prix in Morocco!
Whiplash hadn't shown up either.
Deviation!
The events were starting to deviate from the plot he knew.
And it wasn't just a minor deviation; it seemed quite significant.
Zhou Cheng couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
So, he subconsciously focused his thoughts and recorded his feelings in the Diary.
"Sir, the Diary has been updated!"
Stark's luxurious villa.
All the guests had left, and the party was officially over.
Tony Stark had just returned when the attentive AI Jarvis immediately spoke up to remind him.
"Updated again?"
Tony Stark's spirits immediately lifted, and he wasted no time in picking up the Diary and flipping to the latest page.
Sure enough, new content had appeared.
[Something's not right! Something is really not right!]
[So, nothing happened at Stark's birthday party?]
[Rhodes didn't beat Stark up and steal his armor?]
[They didn't have a huge fight and blow up Stark's mansion?]
[This birthday party was actually... peaceful!]
[And Stark didn't even go to the Morocco race, and Whiplash hasn't even shown up yet!]
[Aside from "owning the hearing," nothing that was supposed to happen, has happened!]
[Looks like this universe is really deviating quite a bit from the 199999 Universe.]
Haha, confused, are you? Seeing Zhou Cheng's bewildered tone, how taken aback he was, Tony Stark couldn't have been more pleased.
Thinking he controlled everything?
Thinking he knew everything about Tony Stark?
Thinking he understood Tony better than anyone else?
Well, he got his face slapped!
But why was Colonel Rhodes beating himself up?
