#749 - Visitors from Asgard

After handing over the finishing work to the logistics personnel, Yang Le and the others boarded the transport plane back to the headquarters of the S.H.I.E.L.D. China branch.

Among these people were also Tony and Xue Xi. Just like ordinary cases that require taking statements, the S.H.I.E.L.D. China branch naturally needed to bring back the two people who had personally participated in the event to take their statements.

Moreover, Xue Xi had awakened her superpowers at this time. Originally, the statement could have been taken on the transport plane, but because of this, it was changed to a physical examination to be done at the S.H.I.E.L.D. China branch headquarters.

Tony was opposed to the idea of a strange organization taking him and his newly healed girlfriend away. Yang Le speculated that it might be because the people from the Vocational High School Team had left him with a bad impression.

However, Zheng Xian dispelled Tony's idea of leaving with just a few words.

"How can you guarantee that this power will not harm Miss Xue Xi?" Zheng Xian crossed his legs, sat across from Tony with an air of composure, squinting his eyes with a smile, looking very amiable.

"Normal hospitals don't have treatment departments for superhumans. If the power in Miss Xue Xi's body backfires, can you give her the help she deserves in the first place?"

Looking at the silent Tony, Zheng Xian gave a fatal blow with a chuckle.

"Besides, the current society in the United States is not friendly to superhumans, right? I know that you still have a group of superhumans forced to live in the ruins of New York."

Tony had no choice but to follow Zheng Xian's arrangement and honestly followed the others back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. China branch's Circular Fortress.

After Zheng Xian finished talking with Tony, Yang Le took the opportunity on the way back to ask the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Zheng Xian pinched his chin. "What is that? It sounds a bit similar to our S.H.I.E.L.D. China branch."

Yang Le was not discouraged when he saw that Zheng Xian didn't seem to have heard of S.H.I.E.L.D., but patiently explained it to Zheng Xian.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization similar to the S.H.I.E.L.D. China branch. They also have a long history. Their predecessor was called the Brotherhood of the Shield. I don't know if you have any impression of this name?"

Zheng Xian pondered for a moment, but finally shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it.

Yang Le could tell from his heartbeat that the person was indeed not lying. His heart rate had not changed from beginning to end. A person may be able to maintain an impenetrable poker face, but the heartbeat can never be controlled.

Helpless, Yang Le had no choice but to continue telling Zheng Xian about the history of S.H.I.E.L.D., including the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s old rival, Hydra.

In this regard, Zheng Xian only knew those Jewish chefs, and knew nothing about Hydra. The two organizations that loved and killed each other disappeared in this way.

But Zheng Xian still comforted Yang Le, saying that he didn't know it didn't mean that there were no records inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. China branch. After all, although he was the director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. China branch, he was only a mortal and could not remember everything in detail.

Yang Le didn't hold any hope for this, but decided to give it a try. If he used the omniscient and omnipotent ability like this, it would always give him a feeling of surrendering and admitting defeat.

The matter of S.H.I.E.L.D. should be put aside for now. Now they have a major event to solve, that is, the giant king Laufey who surrendered and was captured and detained.

This guy is a ticking time bomb for the current Earth. As long as he stays on Earth, the giants of Jotunheim will use this as an excuse to attack Earth, even if Laufey attacked Earth first.

The Frost Giants are a bunch of reckless guys. They don't care about what is reasonable or unreasonable. They do what they want. If there wasn't an Odin pressing down on them, they would have launched attacks on the other realms long ago.

Zheng Xian also felt a headache. After all, Laufey's identity was very special. Imprisoning him would attract the giants' revenge, and killing him might directly become the fuse for a war between worlds.

He was unwilling to send him back directly. Helpless, Zheng Xian could only ask Yang Le for his opinion.

"What to do?" Yang Le tapped his chin, and quickly came up with an idea. "Just stew him."

"Ah?" Zheng Xian was taken aback, and even his eyes opened subconsciously. "What does that mean?"

"Since he is a trouble, then wouldn't it be good to send him out?" Yang Le shrugged. "Wouldn't it be over if we pushed what is difficult to solve on Earth to others?"

Zheng Xian was about to ask who to push it to when a colorful light curtain descended from the sky, passed through the ceiling of the transport plane, and fell directly on the ground.

"Look, the person who can solve the problem is here."

As soon as Yang Le finished speaking, a figure walked out of the rainbow light curtain. This person looked like he came from a movie set, wearing armor with a strong Viking style, and wearing a small horned helmet on his head.

Yang Le knew this person, Baldur, the God of Light, Thor's brother. Originally, the position of Crown Prince should have been his, but because Asgard promoted people based on merit rather than seniority, he voluntarily withdrew from the election, believing that he could not win against Thor.

This was not just lip service. Baldur lived up to his title of God of Light. He was genuinely happy that his brother could surpass him, and joyfully gave the position of Crown Prince to Thor, even vowing in public to fully assist Thor.

With such a virtuous brother, Thor was naturally happy. Therefore, apart from Loki, he had the best relationship with Baldur among all his brothers and sisters, and they could almost talk about anything.

Facing such a true gentleman, Yang Le was also willing to give him the respect he deserved.

"Prince Baldur." Yang Le gave a simple salute. "I think you came here for that Frost Giant, right?"

Baldur was not arrogant. Seeing Yang Le salute, he immediately returned the salute and said, "Yes, Yang Le, the great God King Odin ordered me to bring the giant king Laufey to Asgard. He knows that you must be having a headache about how to deal with him."

"Asgard?" Tony, who had been staying with Xue Xi, frowned. He was definitely familiar with this name as an American, but he didn't think about the mythological stories, but just regarded it as a mysterious organization that used mythological names as its own name.

The only thing that surprised Tony was the Rainbow Bridge. This kind of space teleportation technology is not something that humans can do now. Either the other party has a superhuman with teleportation abilities, or this organization really has this world-leading technology.

Tony believed more in the former, so his mouth started again.

"We fought for a long time to solve the enemy, and you just came and opened your mouth to take them away?" Tony said with sarcasm. "Your attitude is really as arrogant as those ethereal gods."

Zheng Xian's eyes widened. Although it was also the first time he had seen the Asgardian gods, judging from Yang Le's attitude, he didn't think the other party was fake. Provoking a god was not a good idea after all.

Sure enough, Baldur turned his head and looked at the cynical Tony with a playful look.
