Chapter 503 The Only Card on Earth



"Name: Jed Zuo (Chinese name Zuo Yu, questionable)

Gender: Male (doubtful)

Height: 186cm (doubtful)

Image material: [Headshot (doubtful)]

Identity: The second largest shareholder of Rivers Industries, spokesperson for the mysterious organization [Guardians of the Multiverse Earth Civilization]

Ability: Unknown (At the civilian robot launch conference held by Rivers Industries in December 2011, he used one hand to hold up a 157kg domestic robot that nearly fell to the press box due to a circuit failure. It is speculated that he has super physical fitness and may have participated in genetic experiments or the super soldier program led by a private company.)

Description: He first appeared at the shareholders' meeting of Rivers Industries on July 21, 2010. He claimed to be a third-generation overseas Chinese who grew up abroad. He owns a mysterious semiconductor company in Singapore that is not listed on the stock market. The scale of the investment is unknown, and the source of the funds is unknown.

After investing in Rivers Industries, Zuo Yu quickly became Rivers Ye's closest partner. From 2010 to 2012, the two frequently attended various high-end banquets and product launches of military-industrial enterprises.

According to Agent Natasha's observation, this person has an optimistic personality, but his thinking is erratic, elusive, and his behavior is weird. The initial assessment is that he is "unscrupulous with a bottom line"...

During three conversations with SHIELD agents, this man showed a tendency to be kind in the popular sense, and was willing to cooperate with the work of the government and SHIELD without harming his own interests. However, after the psychological evaluator made a tentative request for capital injection into Rivers Industries, this man changed his previous cooperative attitude and showed an extremely tough rejection attitude.

It is worth noting that this tough rejection attitude is different from that of other stimulated businessmen. It is not mixed with panic, fear and tension, but rather an extremely confident aggressive posture, as if the subjects do not care about the official attitude and reaction at all.

After this conversation, we successively dispatched five elite agents above level seven to infiltrate Rivers Industries. However, so far, except for Agent Natasha, all the agents who successfully infiltrated Rivers Industries lost consciousness within one to three days, and then mysteriously appeared in front of the building of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York branch.

So far, we have not found any means by which the other party transferred the agents, nor any evidence of their targeting of the agents...

(327 words omitted above)

On August 3, 2012, Zuo Yu, who had mysteriously disappeared for 28 days, reappeared and, as the second largest shareholder of Rivers Industries, booked all the presidential suites at the Rivers Hotel in New York.

Agent Natasha was ordered to sneak into the hotel and found that a total of ten mysterious people had checked in since 6:27 in the morning.

Unlike Zuo Yu and Rivers Ye, the identities and origins of these ten mysterious people are unknown...

(Correction: On August 3, 2012, at 13:27 pm, detailed identity information of fourteen American citizens appeared in the databases of SHIELD and the New York Police Department. Among them were ten mysterious people staying at the Rivers Hotel. It is suspected that their identities were forged by Zuo Yu or the top hackers within Rivers Industries. Agents are currently being dispatched to verify.)

Suspected crime: After the third conversation with SHIELD, this person was taken away from SHIELD. About 13 minutes and 21 seconds later, a red-level data leak occurred in SHIELD's New York branch, which was suspected to be caused by this person.

Initial hazard assessment: General hazard (yellow)

Secondary risk assessment: Extremely dangerous (red)"

Tony quickly read through Zuo Yu's information and entered the information into his own database.

As for the fourteen mysterious super-powered people ranked behind Zuo Yu, due to too few samples being contacted, a detailed assessment is impossible. Only their physical features and superhuman abilities are described, and a danger assessment is given based on their demonstrated style of behavior.

But whether it is Fang Yuan, Danas and Li Yun who are fighting in a distant city, or the people who are currently fighting in New York, the danger assessment column is red, which means extremely dangerous.

Natasha calmly introduced Tony and Steve to the meaning of extreme danger.

It is a powerful force comparable to a humanoid self-propelled nuclear weapon, capable of destroying several cities in a short period of time, or overthrowing the regime of a small or medium-sized country within a week and starting a war between countries.

The fact that SHIELD was able to assess a group of alliance members as extremely dangerous in such a short period of time shows how profound the shock and threat that the alliance members brought to Nick Fury in SHIELD's underground base at that time.

"You guys like to give danger assessments to others so much, what about me?"

Tony asked curiously, shaking the file in his hand.

Steve next to him was also very curious, so he and Tony turned their eyes to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury fell silent, but soon spoke up: "You are a yellow controllable risk, and the captain is a green safe risk."

"Huh?" Tony widened his eyes and said with some dissatisfaction, "You think I'm no match for them?"

Nick Fury said calmly: "Personal force is only a factor with a larger weight in danger assessment. In addition, there are multiple dimensions of assessment such as political inclinations, character flaws, and antisocial tendencies."

“In many areas of the latter, you scored much higher than they did.”

So that’s how it is…

Tony nodded, then pulled out four pieces of information from the file and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I'm not sure I can take down these people... Isn't there still some candidates for the boy band you mentioned? Where are they?"

Nick Fury said calmly: "Professor Banner is on a fighter plane heading to New York. Agent Barton and Agent Natasha are on standby at any time."

"As for the last one..."

Having said that, Nick Fury paused, and turned sideways with Natasha, revealing the burly figure behind him with blond hair, blue eyes, wearing armor, and holding Thor's hammer.

"This is our friend from Asgard, Thor Odinson."

"Or I'd like to introduce you to a name that you are more familiar with: the God of Thunder in Norse mythology!"

Hearing Nick Fury's words, Thor rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, Black Bald, I never said I wanted to join your little band. I came to Midgard to find my good-for-nothing brother Loki. Didn't you say you knew where he was? Can you tell me now?"

“…”

Nick Fury glanced at Thor, then pulled out a copy from the file and handed it to him.

"This man's name is Chen Feng. His identity and origins are all false. Even his name is questionable. So far, we only know that he has the ability to become invisible and have a body of steel..."

Thor frowned as he looked at the photo in the profile.

"…He was the one who took Loki away?"

"Yes." Nick Fury nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes."

Meanwhile, Kamar-Taj.

Deng Yougang, who came here through the New York Temple, sat on the chair a little stiffly, looking at Master Ancient One who was pouring tea for him.

Opposite him, Ander, Fana and Legolas were also sitting in chairs, quietly drinking the tea poured for them by the Supreme Sorcerer.

"Thanks."

Deng Yougang thanked him politely, picked up the hot teacup and took a sip, then blinked and looked at Master Ancient One.

"Sorcerer Supreme, if I'm not mistaken, the wizard apprentice in the yard just now seems to be Stephen Strange, a famous neurosurgeon in New York?"

“…”

Gu Yi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Yes, he is the student I recruited last year. How come you know each other?"

Deng Yougang smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't say I know him, I've just heard of his name."

Having said that, Deng Yougang's heart was still full of doubts and surprises.

Shouldn't Doctor Strange have had a car accident and entered Kamar-Taj five years later?

How come it happened so many years earlier in this world?

And...what about the car accident?

Could it be that Gu Yi staged and directed a car accident himself?

Just when Deng Yougang was wondering in his heart, Master Gu Yi glanced at him and spoke with a smile as if he could see through his thoughts.

"The future has already changed beyond all recognition. I am just preparing for a rainy day and going with the flow..."

"Even if the sky falls, Lord Lin will be there to support me, right?"

Hearing Master Ancient One's light words, the four alliance members present were all frozen.

Ancient One didn't care at all, and chuckled as he said, "Just like you, you came to visit my Kamar-Taj so openly, and I, the Supreme Sorcerer, had to make tea for you. Isn't it because of that Lord Lin Zhongtian standing behind you?"

“…”

Deng Yougang blinked and said with a wry smile, "You know everything?"

Ancient One sat at the top seat holding a teacup, his eyes sweeping over Ander, Fana, Legolas and Deng Yougang on both sides.

"Mr. Lin has talked to me before." Ancient One chuckled and said, "As long as you abide by Mr. Lin's rules and don't hurt innocent people, I won't interfere in your fight. But at the same time, you must not interfere with the inheritance of my Kamar-Taj, otherwise..."

As he spoke, Gu Yi gently placed the teacup in his hand on the table.

“Pah—”

With a slight sound, the world in front of everyone shattered layer by layer.

A familiar figure fell out from the broken space and looked at Master Ancient One in astonishment.

"Xia Yunlong?"

Deng Yougang looked surprised: "I was wondering why you disappeared while we were fighting, it turns out you sneaked over here!"

Xia Yunlong couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. Chen Feng had eavesdropped on the information about the hidden rules at the Rivers Hotel before, so he sent a message to his teammates before taking action.

When Xia Yunlong received the news, he immediately turned around and used the ability of his space pet to sneak into the New York Temple.

Perhaps because of his presumptuous infiltration, Xia Yunlong received completely different treatment from the other four people in the New York Temple.

As he was quietly searching for the temple portal leading to Kamar-Taj, he accidentally stepped into a magical corridor.

Recalling what happened after stepping into the corridor, Xia Yunlong couldn't help but feel a little scared. The corridor seemed to have solidified some dimensional magic. Not only did the road under his feet extend infinitely as he walked or flew, but he could not touch the walls on both sides at all.

It was as if he was standing on an omnidirectional treadmill and was firmly bound in the middle by some invisible chain.
