Marvel's Superman

Chapter 73 - 071 I Will Leave Saving The World To You

The following day, when Luke, Rogers, and Howard showed up outside the barracks simultaneously, the scene was a little awkward.

Everyone has a tacit agreement to smile; even Rogers, who had no knowledge in this area, also followed the two.

Everyone seemed to know what happened last night.

"Good morning, Luke and Steve. Are you up for your morning workout too?"

Howard coughed twice, pretending to ask.

Ignoring his messy hair like a chicken coop, loose tie, untied shoelaces and other obvious clues. He opened his mouth and said he was getting up early to exercise.

"I thought you spent so much energy last night, and you should be tired enough. But I didn't know you could still get up in the morning to exercise. "

Luke teased.

"Oh, what about you, Luke?! I didn't expect you to pick the most delicate red rose in the barracks without a word - You're the one who's hiding something!"

Howard fought back, not to be outdone. His tone was sour.

Before, he pursued Carter, but the other party was unmoved and indifferent.

However, Luke didn't do anything, but he picked off the thorny rose quickly.

This made Howard, who had always been invincible in love, feel depressed.

"You won't believe me if I told you that nothing happened with Miss Carter last night. "

Luke shrugged his shoulders.

As expected, he received a suspicious look and a scornful laugh.

"Come on; it's like an alcoholic saying he didn't drink too much, and a politician saying he served the citizens. It's unconvincing!"

Howard chuckled, clearly unconvinced.

A lone man and woman disappeared after one dance and didn't show up until the following day.

Could it be watching the stars and moon and talking about life's ideals all night?

Rogers nodded and agreed.

It was clear that he had grown a lot after an immersive first experience overnight.

"Tell me, how did you do it?"

Howard looked curious. He wanted to know where he lost.

On looks?

Well, Luke is young and handsome.

But isn't he more attractive as a mature and rich man?

On achievement?

Although Luke is a war hero of the Allies, he is known as Superman to the world.

But in the scientific field, Howard Stark is also a rising star.

A rising genius who hopes to rival Robert Oppenheimer and Leo Szilard!

"Since you asked in good faith, I won't hide it -- Miss Carter said she was deeply attracted to me when she first saw me. She thinks I'm like a firefly in the night, so bright and outstanding …"

Howard was stunned on the spot. After seeing Luke's playful eyes, he realized that this guy was just bullsh*tting and spat viciously…

"Ptui!"

With his family's education, he shouldn't have behaved in such a rude manner.

"If I hadn't been unable to beat you, I would have thrown a punch at you!"

Howard turned around and walked away but almost twisted his back because of the excessive movement.

Finally, he left awkwardly, with one hand on his waist and a staggering gait.

"Hehe, I can tell by the look on your face that you had a good night. "

Luke hooked Rogers's shoulder with his arm, and they walked to the barracks.

He remembered that someone always talked about one topic in his previous life, whether Captain America was a 70-year-old-virgin.

Looking at it now, definitely not.

"Her name is Margery. "

Rogers squirmed.

He isn't quite used to this kind of conversation.

…

In the afternoon, Luke, who had finished his rest, entered the war room and heard Colonel Phillips roar.

"John Schmidt should be put in an insane asylum!"

He stood in front of a map, looking shocked and angry.

Rogers, Carter, and Howard were all sitting at the long table, and their faces were exceptionally grave.

The rest of the senior officers were silent and remained quiet.

The atmosphere of the whole room fell to a freezing point as if the air was frozen.

"What's the matter?"

Luke asked, frowning.

When the angry Colonel Phillips saw him, his tone slowed down and patiently explained, "Red Skull wants to destroy half of the world! Starting with New York, and even Berlin in the Axis! We must stop him!"

Colonel Philips's finger jabbed hard at the red dot on the map.

These were some of the Allied and Axis powers' most important cities, including New York, London, and even Berlin.

The hearts of the people who were present sank, and these were densely populated and prosperous metropolises.

Once Hydra's plan was successfully implemented, the casualties would be incalculable!

The Strategic Science Reserve found this information from Hydra base's command room, a map and detailed information about Red Skull's plans.

When they fled, they had no time to destroy or take them away.

It was seen by Rogers, who was searching for his friend Bucky and remembered it in his head.

"Schmidt is studying mysterious force beyond our understanding! If we let him cross the Atlantic Ocean, he could destroy the whole east coast in an hour. "

Howard's affirmative tone made the atmosphere in the war room turn even more depressing.

As the Strategic Science Reserve chief scientist, he specially studied the blue energy block that Captain America stashed in his pocket at the military factory.

It was powerful and impressive!

That was the conclusion Howard came to!

He just extracted a tiny particle from it, prepared to analyze it, and nearly killed himself.

"Luke …"

In a time of crisis, Colonel Philips ignored his superior and subordinate titles.

"I have sent reports to Allied Command and the White House. The President wants you to step forward and stop Hydra's plan! Right now, only you can do it! In 24 hours, Red Skull will implement his crazy plan!"

In the war room, all eyes were focused on Luke.

The Allies need a hero to save the world!

And he was the most suitable candidate!

The young Brigadier General had created one miracle after another.

Capture Rome, Italy, assist the Allied forces to land in Sicily, destroy Hydra's secret base, and rescue the captured soldiers …

All kinds of legendary and marvelous deeds were enough to prove Luke's strength.

He was known as 'Superman' and 'Savior of the Allies', not without reason.

"Steve, you must know where Hydra's headquarters is, right?"

Luke's calm face showed a faint smile.

"There is an underground base in the Alps! That's where Hydra's headquarters is located!"

Rogers answered with absolute certainty.

"Would you like to go with me to destroy it and stop Red Skull's evil plan?"

After hearing the answer, Luke showed a calm smile. This calm attitude infected the people in the room.

"I will obey your instructions unconditionally, commander!"

Rogers held his head high, without fear in his eyes.

In his view, the operation was bound to be dangerous.

But as Luke's friend and soldier of the Allies, he naturally had a duty to participate!

"Brigadier-General Sir, take me with you!"

With Dum Dum-Dugan's initiative, members of the Howling Commandos echoed in succession.

They received honors and applause from Luke's wise leadership.

The Howling Commandos admired and respected this young commander from the bottom of their hearts!

"That's good. You all have two hours to tidy up your equipment, and then we'll set off!"

Luke didn't say much. The impassioned speech was unnecessary, and the final victory was the key.

After receiving the reply, everyone in the war room dispersed.

Carter stood up, her fingers unconsciously swiping across the table.

She originally wanted to say something, but her lips only pursed twice, and she left without saying a word.

Luke grimaced. There was no happy ending in being a gentleman.
