Marvel's The Dark Knight Rises

Chapter 63
Because of the adjacent territory, everyone just had a small battle at the border, then quickly broke through the German defense line and headed straight to Switzerland, and waited until the largest intelligence substation in Switzerland under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Intelligence Agency - a superficial It took less than a day for the Holiday Inn.

It was ten o'clock in the evening. As soon as Steve got out of the car, he was taken somewhere to have a conversation by the person in charge. Bruce was not polite, and directly ordered the staff in the hotel to prepare enough food for 70 people. After dinner, he took Bucky to the corner of the hotel lobby and sat down.

Bruce no longer wore the deathknell suit at this time, but changed into a black combat uniform similar to Bucky's. He also wore a mask that covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of clear, unwavering eyes , Disappointed the US military intelligence personnel who were hiding in the dark and observing him.

Bruce relaxed himself into the soft sofa, looked at Bucky who was in a much better state of mind at this time, took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his arms, and threw it over.

"Where did you get it? I remember, you don't smoke..."

Bucky scratched his head, took the cigarette, looked around hesitantly, and finally took off his mask under Bruce's signal, and lit one for himself very skillfully.

For soldiers who have been in the army and fought on the battlefield, there is nothing that they can enjoy more than this thing.

"From Steve, I thought you might need this right now."

Bruce said lightly.

After a while, I don't know how many cigarettes I finished smoking, and Bucky's hoarse voice sounded: "This thing, it's not as good as it used to be... Put me down, Bruce, just be an ordinary direwolf player. I thought I was already I was ready, but now I know that I still have a lot to learn..."

Bruce raised his eyebrows and interrupted him directly: "Then, do you still want me to be the captain of the direwolf team? It's impossible, Bucky, whether it's from my plan or from my From the subjective point of view, it is impossible for me to hand over the 'direwolf' to another person, and I don't have extra time to directly lead the 'direwolf', you are the only captain of this team."

"Why? Bruce, I don't think I'm good enough for this position now. I still need to experience more battles and grow! You have to know, this is the most elite team we have now!"

Bruce glanced at Bucky with a sincere face, and knew that he was speaking from his heart. Perhaps, these days, since he appointed him as the captain of the 'direwolf', he has been under a lot of pressure. Not quite transitioning from being a mere fighter to being the leader of an elite squad.
Sighing, Bruce stared into Bucky's eyes, and finally confessed his thoughts: "Bucky, it is precisely because the 'direwolf' is the most elite unit in our hands, so I will hand it over to You have it! Steve has now become the hero of all Americans, I can't pull him into the team at this moment, because I don't want him to make a 'choice', choose us, or choose him now So, before I go, the only person I can choose to believe in is you, and only you can lead the 'direwolf'."

When Bucky heard this, he raised his head and looked at Bruce suspiciously: "Wait! What are you talking about. Before you leave? Where are you going?"

Bruce shook his head, "I don't know yet, because I'm not sure which world 'there' will be, but I may come back in a few months, or it may be a few years, so I'm leaving I have to arrange everything before, Gibson will have to return to New York sooner or later, he is the head of our intelligence agency, so the future development of the base may have to worry you a lot."

Bucky was stunned for a while, but in the end he was not sure: "You said, let me be in charge of the development of the base? Bruce, what are you kidding! Do you think I don't know how complicated things are in the base? How can I do this? Also, can’t you find someone else to manage the base? I’ll accompany you to the places you want to go!.”

Bruce patted Bucky's arm, motioned him to calm down, and then explained: "Don't worry, I didn't ask you to deal with the chores in the base. At that time, Alfred will arrange the management team to go to Siberia to take over the daily affairs of the base. I am I want you to help me firmly control the armed forces of the base! Whether it is the development of the guards or the 'direwolf' team, you are in charge. In addition, look after Zola for me, and the scientific research team under our base in the future. !"

There was a flash of bitterness in Bruce's eyes, and he whispered close to Bucky's ear: "We will receive a large number of Hydra scientists recommended by Zola in the near future, and they will be an important 'fuel' for the development of our organization, but, You have to remember, Bucky, as long as they help us do things honestly, you don’t have to interfere with their research, but! As long as you find any “changes” in Zora, or conduct secret experiments without telling the organization, or make friends senior members of the organization."

Bucky watched Bruce secretly make a "throat cut" movement towards him, his heart trembled, he hesitated for a while, but finally he gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Bruce patted Bucky on the shoulder, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "As for letting you go to 'those places' with me, I considered it at first, but the development of the base is only on the right track. After solving the Hydra incident, our "layout" in Europe will be officially launched. There is really a shortage of people. If I take you away, I really can't find someone who can take control of the situation in Europe for me. So this time , I won’t take you, because there are more important things you need to do, can you understand?”

Bucky struggled for a while, and finally, as if resigned to his fate, he nodded sullenly, "Understood."

Bruce stood up with a smile, "Okay, don't be so sad anymore, you can go back to Brooklyn for a while after we settle the matter with Hydra, you know, your missing notice has been blocked by history Tiff suppressed it and didn't send it back to China. Your mother and old Buck are waiting for you to "return in triumph"! Gibson is temporarily in charge of the base. When the time comes, you can still visit us Group, learn how to manage with Alfred"

"LION Group? I remember you said that I have a 10% stake in it, the same as Steve?"

"um, yes."

"Well, hey~ how much is that share worth now? I mean, my share!"

Bruce glanced at Bucky whose expression became a little excited at this time, thinking of Steve's rejection at the first time, this is really a big deal.
"I don't know, but the total value of the group should be over [-] million, right? Of course, we have just started to develop, and the total value is 'low', which is normal, but don't worry, I guarantee that your assets will increase year by year in the future. Dozens of times faster, my 'Mr. Ten Billion in the Future'~"

After all, before Bucky with a "sluggish" face came to his senses, Bruce shrugged, walked away with a smirk, and at the same time, there was a hint of evil in his heart.

In his previous life, he often watched some spoof videos about Batman on the Internet, in which the animated Batman waved banknotes "indifferently" and yelled: "because i am bat man!" At that time, he thought it was a bit nonsensical, but now, He seems to understand the fun of those videos~
It's nice to be a superhero, especially a super rich superhero~
