The era of American comics begins

Chapter 377 Be a Bodyguard
Things were completely different from what Captain Rogers expected.

A bodyguard mission, this is the first mission entrusted to him by Tony after taking the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.Cody Scripps, a grumpy, difficult old man, the leader of a small country, happened to be visiting this week.

But there is news that there seems to be a certain organization in the territory targeting the old man.The killer's employer and his purpose are still unclear, and it can only be speculated that he may want to cause international disputes over the death of leaders of other countries in the United States.

But after the stubborn and eccentric old man was notified, he didn't seem to take the death threat at all.He rejected all proposals to increase his security on the grounds that he could not trust American agents, and he felt that one of them might be posing as a killer lurking around to kill him.

But he named Captain America.He said that if there was anyone in the whole country he could trust, it was Captain America.Only when talking about the captain, the old man showed considerable respect, and he also directly expressed his wish to see the captain during this trip.

This was the beginning of this mission. Captain America made an exception to accompany the old man during the few days of his visit and was responsible for guarding his safety.

Of course, Aegis didn't just sit idle.Although Scripps politely refused their help, Aegis still arranged some secret agents to guard them secretly, but their actions were far from as convenient as the captain.

The intelligence turned out to be good, and the attack happened on the first day.The first attack occurred when Scripps' convoy was on its way, when a rocket blasted off the passing vehicles ahead of it, and the convoy was cut short.

Immediately afterwards, a team of ninjas in black descended from the sky, holding long knives, and quickly fell into a scuffle with Scripps' security team.Captain America played a vital role in this encounter. He defeated almost half of the ninjas alone, and in time almost miraculously knocked away a rocket that was originally flying towards Scripps with the vibranium shield.

The result of the battle was ultimately narrow-minded.But those ninjas who were defeated all swallowed poison and committed suicide on the spot. Their identities were also not recorded in the intelligence system, and no clues to prove their identities were found on their bodies.

I don't know if it's because of his thick nerves or other reasons, Scripps seems to not care about the fact that he was ambushed at all, but he is full of praise for Captain America's outstanding performance that day.He stubbornly rejected other people's suggestions to change the itinerary, insisting that as long as the captain is by his side, nothing will threaten him.

Then sure enough, the attack happened again the next day.This time the captain took down seven ninjas with one enemy and seven, and once again protected the safety of the old man.

Two days have passed safely, and the last day is left. This mission is considered complete.

That night, the old man seemed to be in a better mood, and he took the captain to his room to chat, chatting about the topic of the war era—even though he himself had not personally experienced the war at his age.

And it was on this last day that things got worse.

SHIELD's investigation of the group of ninjas who look at death like home is still zero. All of them have no identity like real ghosts, and there is no clue about their origins, let alone their employers.To be on the safe side, under the repeated persuasion of Captain Rogers, the stubborn old man finally reluctantly accepted the arrangement of changing the itinerary.

The change of this itinerary was completely kept secret. Only the members of the pro-guards and Captain America, who were absolutely trusted by Scripps, knew the detailed arrangements. In addition, even Aegis was not informed of the details in advance.If they will be ambushed in advance, then they will have to face an extremely bad possibility-the enemy's spies are lurking in Scripps' cronies.

And it really happened.

When the convoy reached a certain intersection, the attack really happened again as expected.The rockets that exploded on the road rolled up the body of the assault vehicle, and the ninjas jumped from the tall buildings on both sides, rushing towards the convoy like a black wave.

Gunshots rang out, and the two sides quickly exchanged fire.Scripps' personal guards are quite good, but they are still vulnerable to these black ninjas.The movements of the ninjas in black were as nimble as rabbits. They wielded bright knives one by one, and darted around to avoid bullets. Every time the light of the knives flashed, one of them fell down.The bodyguards even suspected that these ninjas didn't even shed a drop of sweat.

This time was different from the previous two days.Perhaps because of the previous setbacks, the number of ninjas sent this time is not the same as before in terms of number and equipment.Fighting alone, Rogers would not lose to any of them, and even if he faced them all at the same time with the Vibrating Shield in hand, he might not be invincible.But it is obviously not so easy to defend the unarmed old man behind him while fighting.

The matter of defeating the enemy can be postponed, and now the priority should be to protect the target.

Rogers led Scripps quickly out of the encirclement, blocking tons of damage with his shield.A few figures chased after them like fish swimming in water, but they were only knocked down by Rogers unceremoniously.

None of them would have survived two rounds with Captain America if it was just a one-on-one matchup.

After twisting and turning several times in the narrow alleyway, Rogers felt that he should finally get rid of all the pursuers.He breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down his pace, changed direction and led the old man to another place.

"Where is this going now?" Scripps asked suspiciously, following behind him.

"Go to the safe house." Rogers replied briefly. "SHIELD happens to have a safe house near here. Let's go there to rest before contacting others."

"Shouldn't we be in touch"

"No, the enemy should still be around now. And the only reason for our itinerary to be exposed - no offense, but there may be spies among your people. I have to make a few calls first, we are here for the time being before deciding on the next step Standby."

"Okay." The old man stopped talking, and seemed to trust his judgment.

The safe house was not established after Tony took office. It has been here when Nick Fury was in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D., but no one has used it for so many years.

"No one has been here for many years." The captain said when he led him into the door, "Relax, sir, nothing will happen. You rest here first, and I will contact you first."

Rogers swallowed the second half of the sentence suddenly, his pupils narrowed, and he half-kneeled in the middle of the living room with an extremely strange expression, panting violently like an asthmatic patient.

"You're right, Captain, I'll be fine."

Scripps' voice and aura suddenly changed, and his voice became high-pitched and thin, sounding like a woman?

He walked up to the captain, grinned strangely and said, "But you may have something to do."
