Steve thought: That’s actually not wrong.

If SHIELD was a beautiful girl, then Hydra was the big villain who wanted to steal his girl.

Three words: Just do it!

Decades ago, he had already taken down Hydra once. Now, the other party was alive and kicking again, and he would take them down once more.
‘What he was best at wasn’t reasoning.

As for what Nick Fury was thinking, that had nothing to do with him.

His identity as a level 9 SHIELD agent was what Carter had left for him; it wasn’t a reason for him to listen to Fury.

Speaking of which, that useless guy had wasted Carter’s efforts. He should thank supreme-ruler that Steve hadn’t thrashed him.

They sat down, and Selina tossed them two towels.

Gold Nugget also went to a cupboard on the side, and came back with two bottles of water.

Curious, Steve accepted the bottle of water and patted the dog’s head with a smile. “He’s so obedient. What’s his name?”

Luke said, “Gold Nugget, Dollar, whatever you like.”

Steve thought for a moment. “Then, Gold Nugget. It’s a good name.” He then played with Gold Nugget.

Gold Nugget had a good impression of this person who had picked its “real name,” so it didn’t act as aloof with him as with the brats.

Steve hadn’t had the time or opportunity to keep a dog when he was younger.

Now that he had woken up, he still didn’t have any time or opportunity to do so.

‘That didn’t mean that he didn’t like dogs. Also, there were very few people who wouldn’t like this sort of obedient dog.

Furthermore, Dollar was old, and looked honest and steady, which suited a certain “old” man very well.

Luke took a sip of water and smiled. “If you like dogs, you should get one yourself. In any case, you like to exercise; your dog would be very happy to go running with you every day.”
Steve rubbed Gold Nugget’s head regretfully. “Forget it. I already need someone else to look after me; there’s no meaning in finding someone else to help raise a dog for me.”
Luke and Selina naturally knew about his situation, and didn’t say anything else.

It wasn’t very reliable to ask a SHIELD agent to help take care of a dog.

‘A dog which belonged to Captain America would be very valuable.

As long as Steve hesitated at a critical moment, those people wouldn’t hesitate to kill his dog. Reality was just that cruel.

It wasn’t safe for a dog to have an extraordinary owner.

After some idle chatter, Luke asked, “You don’t look very happy. Did something happen recently?”

Steve said, “Didn’t you say it’s because I couldn’t get the girl, that I’m so angry?”

Luke said, “With your face, I’m afraid the girls will be the ones to get angry because they can’t nab you.”

Steve chuckled and said, “I thought I was able to protect some things with my efforts, but they might be about to disappear completely now, so… I’ma little disappointed.”
Luke shook his head. “Bro, you should keep up with the times.”

Steve: “Huh?”

Luke said, “Look at this world. There are human-eating experimental monsters and alien armies. Will reminiscing about the past change anything?”
Steve was silent.

Luke said, “You’re a little old, but you still have a ‘tender’ face. Just stay young at heart and start over.”

Steve smiled bitterly and leaned back against the wall, looking at the ceiling. “It’s not that easy.”

Luke shrugged. “It’s not easy, but it’s never easy to live in this world. Instead of making things difficult for yourself, make it difficult for other people.”
Steve: “Huh?”

He wondered if he had heard wrong. It was normal not to make things difficult for himself, but why would he make things difficult for others?

Luke pointed at himself. “For example, I’m a detective. All I need to do is maintain order. Do I have to pay attention to the inner thoughts of murderers every day? I’m not a psychiatrist, nor am I part of a human rights agency. I’m not the one who needs to think about these things. I just arrest and kill
people when I should.”

Steve opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything.

‘There was indeed nothing wrong with what Luke said.

And even if Steve could find fault with what Luke said, Luke clearly didn’t care.

It was like how clean freaks would care, but people without this problem wouldn’t care at all.

No matter what reason a clean freak gave, like it was nhygienic, uncomfortable, or not their style, a person who wasn’t a clean freak would silently pick up greasy roadside stall skewers with their bare hands.
Steve certainly wasn’t a “clean freak.”

It was just that he valued certain things. After all, it was hard for even people who weren’t clean freaks to accept sh*t dumped on their homes.
Luke didn’t have that problem at all. After all, SHIELD wasn’t his.

So, his answer was along the lines of “throw it back,” or even “dump it back on them.”

Would holding sh*t make your hands smell? It really would.

But would it feel good to dump it on the heads and in the mouths of your enemy? It really would.

That was exactly what Luke was going for.

As for the smell, he would remember to wear gloves.

As long as he had enough experience and credit points, he didn’t mind dumping sh*t on SHIELD along with Hydra.
After talking to Steve, Luke and Selina got up and said goodbye.

In the car, Selina couldn’t help but ask him, “Are you very interested in Steve?”

Luke chuckled. “So-so, but I can tell from his reactions that something’s wrong. Let’s talk about it when we get back.”
Selina immediately stopped asking.

Although this car had been upgraded many times, it wasn’t as good as their little nest.

Their place had a separate power source, and could block and monitor information much better than this small SUV.
When they got home, Luke told her how he had tested Steve.

Steve didn’t know that Luke was Batman, but Luke knew that he was Captain America.

Putting Steve’s reactions together with Phil’s situation, a lot of things were clear.

Luke, who had the inside story, had been openly probing for information earlier.

From Steve’s mental fluctuations, he speculated that Steve was involved in the snake-catching operation.

However, that was definitely Nick Fury’s doing, and didn’t involve Phil.

It was normal for a wily old fox like Nick Fury to have a hand in everything.

The people on Luke’s side were probably secondary targets.

The men Steve hunted were probably the main targets.

Luke had dug out more than thirty traitors, while Steve might have hundreds of suspects.

This could also be why Nick Fury hadn’t arranged further targets for Phil and Luke.

The director had too many suspects to handle.

It was like cancer: Cutting out a bit could save a person, but if the entire body was infected, how could it be cut out?

If all the cancer was cut out, the person would die. If it wasn’t cut out, things could still be dragged out for a few days for fumeral arrangements to be made..
