#100 - One person's heavenly union
“The Heavenly Craft Society?” The name, which no one had ever heard of, piqued the curiosity of everyone present.
“Could you talk more specifically about your organization?” Steve pressed.
“There's no harm in that.” Yang Le readily agreed, since it didn't exist anyway.
Of course, Yang Le knew he couldn't make things up too wildly, or he would easily be exposed, and then the fun would be really big.
“The Heavenly Craft Society, you can think of it as an organization similar to your Earth's S.H.I.E.L.D., except that we are composed of people from multiple planets.”
“You know about S.H.I.E.L.D.?” Hawkeye looked surprised.
“In fact, we know more than you imagine.” I even know things you don't know, like the fact that eighty percent of your organization is actually Hydra, which you didn't expect.
Yang Le put on a profound and unfathomable expression, but unfortunately, because they were different species, no one could understand his expression.
“So, you've actually been on Earth for a long time?” Natasha guessed based on what Yang Le had just said.
“You could say that.” Yang Le nodded; it had indeed been a long time, almost 20 years of living on Earth.
“Why are you telling us this?” Natasha pressed.
“Because we want to stop Thanos's plot.” Yang Le explained.
“Thanos wants to eliminate half of the life in the universe.”
Perhaps the idea was too terrifying; after Yang Le said those words, there was about ten seconds of silence in the restaurant.
“Motherfucker!” Nick Fury slowly uttered his famous line. If what Yang Le said was true, then that Thanos was definitely a madman.
“This guy is even crazier than the little mustache.” Tony also put away his cynical attitude.
“Looks like the Captain was only dealing with easy difficulty back then.”
“I rarely agree with you.” Steve didn't refute this time.
“This isn't scientific.” Dr. Banner, who hadn't spoken, suddenly said.
“Six stones can eliminate half of the life in the universe? Even having witnessed the power of the Tesseract, it's hard for me to believe.”
“Actually, they can eliminate all life, as long as their user wants.” Yang Le corrected Banner's words.
“Moreover, none of you have found the correct way to use the Tesseract; you haven't even revealed its true form. That portal was just a small matter for it.”
“Just like you, who could tell that the thin doctor, when angry, would turn into a world-destroying giant?”
“I still find it hard to believe.” Banner muttered.
“I think he's telling the truth.” Tony said abruptly from the side.
“Stark?” Steve looked at Tony in surprise. He thought Tony was supporting him because the Manta Ray had saved him.
“It has nothing to do with the Manta Ray saving me.” Tony saw Steve's thoughts and directly denied them.
“I carried that nuke through the portal; I saw things you didn't see.” Tony's expression was very serious; no one had ever seen him like this.
“That fleet…” Tony's tone trembled slightly.
“If they come over, we have no chance of winning. I don't care about Thanos; I only know that if there's another invasion like that, we…”
“We will still win!” Steve interrupted Tony, saying decisively.
“As long as we assemble, we won't lose.”
Tony was speechless. I'm talking to you about reality, and you're talking to me about idealism.
'Maybe that's why I don't get along with you.' Tony grinned, returning to his usual carefree demeanor, but no one knew what he was thinking.
“It seems you still don't quite believe me.” Yang Le said after the two finished speaking.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Manta Ray, but the information you've given us is too much; it's hard for us to accept it all at once.” Steve stood up and extended his right hand to Yang Le.
“But we are still very grateful for your help, especially for saving Stark.”
Tony, upon hearing this, remained slumped in his chair, merely raising the hand holding his wine glass, looking like a drunkard.
Seeing this, Steve could only sigh helplessly and then say to Yang Le.
“I'm sorry, but Tony is always like this; actually, he cares a lot in his heart.”
“I know.” Yang Le shook hands with Steve. The Tony Stark of the movie universe actually valued emotions very much, completely different from the scumbag in the comics.
I don't know how many people who watched the movies and then went to read the comics felt cheated. The most classic example is that Pepper Potts in the comics is actually the wife of Happy Hogan, the driver. Tony cheated on his driver and had an affair with Pepper Potts, making him a complete scumbag.

“Mr. Manta Ray.” Natasha, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke to Yang Le.
“If possible, could you come to our S.H.I.E.L.D. base for a visit? Our director has some things he wants to ask you as well.”
Faced with Natasha's sudden invitation, Yang Le guessed that it was Nick Fury's order, which was exactly what Yang Le wanted, making it convenient for him to steal information.
No, he's stealing; how can a scholar's affairs be called stealing? But before that, he needed to make some preparations to avoid leaving any handles.
“I am honored, and cooperating with S.H.I.E.L.D. is also what we want to strive for.”
However, just as Natasha thought she had completed the task assigned by the director, Yang Le suddenly changed the subject.
“But let's wait until tomorrow; it's already late today, and I need to go back and report. Tomorrow, we will send another member to visit you.”
“Another member?” Natasha frowned. “The timing is fine, but isn't it supposed to be you coming tomorrow?”
“I have other work.” Yang Le made up an excuse.
The Manta Ray might not have the ability to steal information. When he gets back, Yang Le will split off another Transformer and then secretly bring it on the spaceship to steal everything.
“My main job is reconnaissance. Originally, I was supposed to be scouting the invading Chitauri fleet today; contacting you was just a last resort.”
Yang Le doesn't even blush when making up lies. Oh, the Manta Ray is red anyway, so it's okay.
“Agree to him.” Nick Fury ordered from the communicator. Since the other party is coming with goodwill, there's no need to push too hard, especially since they don't know the strength of the Heavenly Craft Society behind this alien.
However, just Yang Le's performance in defeating the Hulk is enough for Nick Fury to take him seriously.
'If Carol was here, I could ask her.' Nick Fury sighed. It's been so many years; if he doesn't send her a message, she really won't come back to take a look.
“Okay, then let's make it tomorrow. You can decide the specific time.” Natasha, having received her orders, generously gave the choice to Yang Le.
“Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock Earth time, still in this restaurant, right?” Yang Le thought for a moment and set a time. He would definitely be able to get up by then.
