Chapter 749 Asgardian Visitor
After handing over the finishing work to the Support Staff, Yang Le and the others took a Transport Aircraft back to the Headquarters of the Divine Spear Bureau.
Among these people were Tony and Xue Xi. Just like routine Statements taken after handling cases, the Divine Spear Bureau naturally needed to invite the two who had personally participated in this matter back to give their Statements.
Furthermore, Xue Xi had awakened a Superpower. Originally, the Statement could have been done on the Transport Aircraft, but because of this, it was changed to a Physical Examination at the Divine Spear Bureau Headquarters.
Tony was opposed to a strange Organization taking him and his just-healed Girlfriend away. Yang Le speculated that it might be because the High School Squad 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 this Power won't harm Miss Xue Xi?” Zheng Xian asked, crossing his legs and sitting leisurely opposite Tony, his eyes squinted and face full of smiles, appearing very amiable.
“Normal Hospitals don't have Treatment Departments for Superhumans. If the Power in Miss Xue Xi's body Backlashes, can you provide her with the necessary Aid immediately?”
Seeing Tony's silence, Zheng Xian gave a fatal blow with a smile.
“Furthermore, isn't American society today not very friendly towards Superhumans? I know you even have a group of Superhumans forced to live in the New York Ruins.”
Tony had no choice but to follow Zheng Xian's arrangements and obediently followed the others back to the Ring Fortress of the Divine Spear Bureau.
After Zheng Xian and Tony finished talking, Yang Le took advantage of the journey 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 somewhat similar to our Divine Spear Bureau.”
Yang Le was not discouraged when he saw that Zheng Xian seemed not to have heard of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Instead, he patiently explained it to Zheng Xian.
“S.H.I.E.L.D. is an Organization similar to the Divine Spear Bureau. They have a long history, and their predecessor was called the Brotherhood of the Shield. Does that Name ring any bells?”
Zheng Xian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, finally shaking his head to indicate that he had never heard of it.
Yang Le could tell from his Heartbeat that this person was indeed not lying. His Heartbeat frequency had not changed from beginning to end. A person may be able to maintain an impenetrable Poker Face, but Heartbeat can never be controlled.
Helpless, Yang Le could only continue explaining S.H.I.E.L.D.'s history to Zheng Xian, including the matter of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s old enemy, Hydra.
In response, Zheng Xian only knew about the Jewish chefs and was completely unaware of Hydra. These two Organizations, locked in a love-hate relationship, had simply vanished.
However, Zheng Xian Comforted Yang Le, saying that his lack of knowledge didn't mean the Divine Spear Bureau had no records. After all, even though he was the Director of the Divine Spear Bureau, he was still just a mortal and couldn't remember every detail.
Yang Le did not hold any Hope for this, but still decided to try. If he just used his omniscient and omnipotent Ability like this, it always gave him a feeling of surrendering and admitting defeat.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. matter could wait. Right now, they had a major issue to resolve: Giant King Laufey, who had been captured and imprisoned after surrendering.
This Guy was a Time Bomb for Earth right now. As long as he remained on Earth, the Giants of Jotunheim would use it as an excuse to attack Earth, even though Laufey had attacked Earth first.
The Frost Giants were a bunch of brutes. They didn't care about reason or logic, they just did what they wanted. If it weren't for Odin holding them down, they would have attacked other realms long ago.
Zheng Xian also felt a headache. After all, Laufey's Identity was very special. Keeping him locked up would attract the Giants' Revenge, and killing him might directly become a Spark for a war between Worlds.
He was unwilling to just send him back. Helplessly, Zheng Xian could only Ask for Yang Le's Opinion.
“What should we do?” Yang Le tapped his Chin, quickly coming up with an Idea. “Let's just leave it be.”
“Huh?” Zheng Xian was taken aback, and even his Eyes subconsciously opened wide. “What does this mean?”
“Since he's Trouble, why not just send him away?” Yang Le shrugged. “If Earth can't handle it, just pass the buck, right?”
Just as Zheng Xian was about to Ask who to push it to, a Colorful Light Curtain descended from the sky, passing through the Ceiling of the Transport Aircraft and falling directly to the Ground.
“See, the person who can solve things is here.”
As Yang Le finished speaking, a Figure emerged from the Rainbow Light Curtain. This person looked like he'd stepped straight out of a Movie set, wearing Armor with a strong Viking Style and a Small Horned Helmet on his head.
Yang Le recognized him: Balder, the God of Light, Thor's brother. Originally, the Position of Crown Prince should have been his, but because Asgard valued merit over seniority, he voluntarily withdrew from the Election, believing he couldn't win against Thor.
This wasn't just lip service. Balder lived up to his title as the God of Light. He was genuinely happy that his Younger brother had surpassed him, joyfully relinquishing the Crown Prince Position to Thor and even publicly vowing to fully support him.
With such a virtuous brother, Thor was naturally happy. As a result, aside from Loki, Balder was the sibling he was closest to, and they could talk about almost anything.
Facing such a true gentleman, Yang Le was also willing to give him the respect he deserved.
“Prince Balder.” Yang Le gave a simple salute. “I think your arrival here is for that Frost Giant, right?”
Balder wasn't arrogant. Seeing Yang Le salute, he immediately returned the gesture and said, “Yes, Yang Le. The great God King Odin has ordered me to take Giant King Laufey to Asgard. He knows you must be struggling with how to handle him.”
“Asgard?” Tony, who had been staying beside Xue Xi, frowned. As an American, he was definitely familiar with the Name, but he didn't think of Myths. He just assumed it was a Mysterious Organization using mythological Names for themselves.
The only thing that surprised Tony about them was the Rainbow Bridge. This Space Teleportation Technology was beyond current Human capabilities. Either they had a Superhuman with Teleportation Ability, or this Organization genuinely possessed World-leading Technology.
Tony was more inclined to believe the former. So, his mouth started running again.
“We fought for ages to deal with this Enemy, and you just show up and want to take him away?” Tony said sarcastically. “Your attitude is as arrogant as those vague and distant Gods.”
Zheng Xian's Eyes widened. Although it was also his first time seeing an Asgardian Deity, judging by Yang Le's attitude, he didn't think they were imposters. Provoking a Deity was definitely not a good Idea.
Sure enough, Balder turned his head and looked at the cynical Tony with a playful expression.
