Chapter 228

"Haven't seen you in days, why are you talking about giving me a loan the moment we meet?"

Stephen Strange invited Ye Li to sit down and said speechlessly, "Although Kamar-Taj is tight on funds after repairing the Sanctum, I am the new Sorcerer Supreme, after all; I’m not at the point of needing to borrow money."

"Cough... I mean..."

Ye Li spread his hands, and the divine power seed that had been swatted away reappeared, "Borrowing mana to you!"

Tap~

Strange immediately sat up from the cushion, backed away a few steps, and pointed at him: "You still say you’re not a demon god!"

Ye Li: "......."

A few minutes later.

"So that’s how it is."

Strange nodded in sudden realization.

After Ye Li’s thorough explanation, he finally understood the situation.

"This loan of yours... is it really cheap and affordable?" Strange asked curiously.

[Your expression... why is it like buying vegetables at a market...]

Ye Li complained internally, while giving a thumbs up and promoting, "Guaranteed to let you use it with peace of mind!"

"Wait a second..."

Strange was tempted, but first took out the Eye of Agamotto to watch the future where he didn't borrow from Ye Li————

Having just succeeded to the position of Sorcerer Supreme, he wasn't skilled with the Time Stone, but he still managed to see some future fragments:

In the fragments, he was painfully eating some dark cuisine made of indescribable things...

"What the f*ck!!"

Strange was startled and hurriedly said to Ye Li: "That power of yours... give me a portion quickly!!"

"OK~ For the sake of being old acquaintances, I’ll give you a discount on the interest."

Ye Li happily tossed the divine power seed in his hand to him.

"Practice hard, Stephen. I’m going to leave Earth for a while; it’s all up to you during this time."

After fooling the Sorcerer Supreme.

Ye Li’s divine sense left Kamar-Taj and continued to roam,

Slowly, it drifted to the sky above the Stark Tower in New York.

[Let me see what this guy Tony is doing...]

Ye Li slowly sank into the building, not worried about interrupting any of Tony’s good deeds.

With Iron Man’s recent changes, he shouldn't be sleeping with cover girls anymore, right...

Sure enough.

His guess was right; Tony was in front of a precision instrument in the lab, thinking seriously about something.

Whoosh~

Ye Li appeared in front of him like a gust of wind.

"Hey, Li!"

Tony greeted him with a bit of surprise, "We haven't seen each other in a few days. You and your club have really been in the spotlight lately."

"Not all good things."

Ye Li casually found a chair and sat down, "Tall trees catch the wind; the Ghost Spider Club is, after all, just a private civilian organization."

"Yeah, a civilian organization that can plant someone at the head of S.H.I.E.L.D.~"

Tony waved his hand, and Jarvis controlled a mechanical arm to deliver two bottles of fruit soda to him.

He twisted one open, took a sip, tossed the other to Ye Li, and continued to smile.

"I’ve heard about the situation with Fury. Your move has him feeling incredibly stifled, and with the club trending toward becoming a global organization, S.H.I.E.L.D., with only a few kittens left, is practically becoming a subordinate intelligence agency of the club.

You don't need to worry about tall trees catching the wind; many international organizations started as private ones. As long as the club has enough authority and knows its limits, no force will be short-sighted enough to oppose the [World Weaver], right...

Oh, by the way, this title you’ve taken is really weird. It would be better to use a simple and clear title like [Iron Man] like me."

"You have a point." Ye Li nodded.

Although Tony seems like a playboy, his brain still works well.

Especially after suffering some tempering recently, his mind has matured... right?

"I’m here to say goodbye and give you something."

Ye Li looked at the soda in his hand, didn't open it, and stated his purpose.

"Goodbye? Where are you going?... It’s rare for you to give me something... I guess this trip must be quite far."

Tony paused his soda-drinking, guessing boldly, "...Is it an alien planet? Outside the solar system?"

Ye Li raised an eyebrow, "As expected of you, you guessed right."

"Huh? It really is?"

Tony doubted: "You wouldn't happen to be an alien like Black Spider, would you?"

Ye Li’s expression was a bit strange, "Who told you Black Spider is an alien?"

"I guessed it myself."

Tony hooked his finger at him, "What about the thing for me?"

Ye Li flicked his thumb and shot a divine power seed at him————

Tony dodged to the side, and the seed fell onto the workbench.

Ye Li: "You don't want it?"

"Uh... sorry, I’m used to it; I don't really like catching other people’s th~ings..."

Tony picked up the divine power seed with his fingers, "So- what is this?"

"Last time you left Kamar-Taj for reasons, leaving your magic path halfway. This is a spell seed, a shortcut that can let you..."

1OO1671055

Ye Li explained it to him.

After Tony finished listening, joy appeared on his face, "That’s really good stuff... I’ve never had a clue about the web threads you gave me; with this, maybe I can make some progress!"

"Good luck." Ye Li wasn't very concerned about this matter.

With his current magic attainments, he could play with the Fate threads however he wanted, so he didn't care about Tony’s research.

"Then I’m ready to go."

Ye Li threw a business card with an address, which nailed into the workbench in front of Tony like a dart.

"If you encounter anything, you can ask Stephen for help. He usually stays at the New York Sanctum now; you can get there in a jiffy with your armor."

"Li, wait a second."

Tony requested as he was about to leave, "I want to borrow one more thing from you, can I?"

Ye Li paused and turned back to ask, "What?"

Tony’s eyes flickered, "That Mind Scepter confiscated from Loki; I want to study it..."

"The Mind Scepter?"

Ye Li pulled his hands through the void, pulling out a long blue-glowing object————

When the blue light dissipated, the Mind Scepter appeared in his hand.

He raised his wrist, and the Mind Stone on his bracelet shot out beams of energy, injecting them into the top of the scepter, making its mind power much fuller.

Then he generously threw the scepter to Tony.

"I don't have a use for this thing; since you need it, borrow it and play with it."
