Chapter 67

Whoosh.

As Ye Li called out a name, a yellow-robed figure landed lightly not far in front of him.

"Hello, Li."

The Ancient One said in a clear, gentle voice, "Strange is a conceited child; he still needs tempering."

"Sorcerer."

Ye Li tossed a Tiger Talisman in his hand. "Isn't it bad to be so intimate the first time we meet?"

"..."

The Ancient One knew this Mirror Dimension couldn't trap Ye Li and answered with a non-sequitur, "Thank you."

"Forget about that guy Stephen."

Ye Li said, putting on his trench coat hood. "Look at us now, don't we look like we're wearing a couple's outfit?"

The Ancient One curled into a peaceful smile and wasn't angry. "Interesting child, we will meet again..."

"Alright, see you next time then.

Dear Sorcerer Ancient One."

The Tiger Talisman in Ye Li's hand began to rotate. "I don't know how badly Stephen fell; I have to go check on him."

Every time the Tiger Talisman rotated a fraction.

The deviated world was pulled back to the right track a little.

Enhanced Tiger Talisman.

Anchoring the two poles of Yin and Yang.

To be precise, the Tiger Talisman controls the power of Yin and Yang and can achieve many effects; this was just one of them.

The Mirror Dimension quickly turned into fragments, and as the space shattered, a red race car drove out again—Woo—! Whoosh———!!

"Hi, Pepper."

Over here.

Pepper and Happy were preparing to deliver equipment to Stark when they saw a red race car stop next to them.

Pepper: "Li? Shouldn't you be in the lead..."

Ye Li spread his hands in the car. "You guessed right, I'm two laps ahead."

"Li! Save me! Ram him!"

Tony, who was being chased and whipped by Ivan Vanko, saw Ye Li driving the race car and rushed over, calling for help!

"Hey! Tony!"

As Ye Li drove past Stark, he casually threw the Iron Man suit briefcase over—

"Ms. Pepper gave it to you! Catch!"

Whoosh——～

Bang~!

"Ow!"

Tony let out a miserable cry! This briefcase hit him so hard he was dizzy... it was a close call he wasn't sent away directly...

The race car didn't stop.

It drove straight toward Ivan Vanko.

Ivan Vanko raised his whip, intending to use the same trick again.

But the red race car suddenly accelerated again, leaving Whiplash (Ivan Vanko) with no time to react———

Bang——!

Thud!

"Whiplash" was rammed by this hit directly into the track railing, making a muffled sound—

"Oh, sorry.

I didn't mean to...

I stepped on the gas too hard."

Ye Li looked at Ivan Vanko, who looked like he had kicked the bucket, and complained, "I don't think this is my fault; you should have installed two pieces of armor on yourself..."

With this Whiplash equipment of Ivan Vanko's that had almost no protection, a small pistol could probably finish him off...

"Li... get away!

He's not dead yet... I'll deal with him..."

Tony, who had stars spinning in his head from Ye Li's hit, stumbled and managed to put on the portable Mark suit.

He walked toward this side, looking like he was about to fall at any moment...

Ye Li deactivated the car's spiritual point-activation, opened the door, and walked further away, crossing his arms. "Tony, can you even do it in that state?"

There were quite a few people watching the show just like him.

The audience had all run outside the railing, watching the upcoming battle from close range.

Because they also discovered—although Ivan Vanko's electric whip was fierce and could split a car with one lash, unfortunately, there was nothing else eye-catching about it...

As long as you stayed out of the whip's range and ran a bit faster, you could even kite him to death with a rifle...

"You... have the nerve to say... isn't it all your fault..."

Bang——!

Just as Tony was about to say something, the red race car was whipped and exploded by the waking Ivan Vanko!

"Stark!!"

Ivan Vanko roared and charged toward Stark—!!

One lash!

Two lashes!!

Three lashes!!

Four lashes!!

Lightning!——Five-fold lash!!

Iron Man, whose head was full of dizziness.

How could he be a match for Whiplash at this moment?

Stark was whipped until he couldn't take care of himself, and the Iron Man suit was covered in sparks and electricity...

Ye Li shouted at the right time, "Are you okay, Tony!"

You bastard...

Tony was so angry he punched Ivan Vanko in the forehead (the portable Mark suit didn't have that much power)—Bang~!

Ivan Vanko, with zero defense, was directly hit with the same dizziness debuff as Tony...

Tony took the opportunity to pop out a light blade on the forearm of his suit; it was exactly the replica lightsaber module he had loaded into his suit.

"Glowing weapons... aren't the only thing you have..."

Click click click!

After a few strikes with the energy light blade, Ivan Vanko's Whiplash suit was dismantled into pieces, scattered all over the ground.

Stark couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed...

What?

You ask why he couldn't hold on?

The Iron Man suit head opened.

Revealing Stark's head, which had a prominent bump...

"Oh my... this criminal is too brutal..."

Ye Li looked at the wound and shook his head, clicking his tongue. "Look at Tony... this head... was beaten until it bled... sigh..."

Pepper, who had rushed over, asked Tony worriedly, "Are you hurt?"

"Uh..."

Tony tremblingly raised his hand, pointing his index finger at Ye Li, wanting to say something...

"Don't worry, Tony, I know what you mean."

Ye Li nodded and gave him a thumbs up. "I'll go check on Stephen too, don't worry."

"Uh~"

Tony tilted his head and fainted from anger...

Wee-woo—wee-woo—wee-woo!

With the sound of the ambulance arriving.

Stark and Strange were both lifted onto stretchers and sent to the hospital...

Time passed.

Hospital.

Ye Li took a fruit knife and peeled an apple.

The left bed was Stark, the right bed was Strange.

Arranging them in one ward was so they could have company...

Stark only had a mild concussion and would be fine after a rest.

However, his palladium poisoning was detected, and he had been scolded to a bloody pulp by Pepper not long ago...

And Strange was even more miserable—both his left and right hands were ruined.

Now he had a mournful face, full of regret, and at the same time cursed Whiplash, "That damn guy! I'm going to sue him in court! Make him rot in jail for a lifetime!"

Tony originally wanted to badmouth Ye Li for tricking him, but seeing Stephen so miserable, he changed his unsaid words to comforting Stephen.

Without comparison, there is no harm, right...

"You two should look on the bright side."

Ye Li held the peeled apple... skin and handed it to the two. "Want some?"

"Get lost!" x2

Two indignant voices!

"Where's the nurse? Nurse!"

"Kick this person out!"

Click~

Ye Li bit the apple, listening to the condolences coming in one after another...

Oh, don't misunderstand, they weren't condolences for Stark and Strange, but—

Jessica: [...Brother! I saw the news!...]

Gwen: [...Li, there was a terrorist attack at the Monaco F1 Grand Prix, are you okay...]

Felicia: [...Master~ do you want me to come take care of you~...]

Skye: [...I checked, the attacker's name is Ivan Vanko, he...]

Cindy: [...I saw you drive and make letters on the track! So cool!...]

And so on.

Seeing Ye Li sitting on the side munching on an apple, while the phone kept emitting sweet, bird-like voice messages.

Tony was so angry he wanted to grab the apple in his hand. "Are you kidding me! We're the ones who are hurt, okay! Give it to me! Give it to me!"

"Don't be impatient, Tony, you eat this."

Ye Li stuffed a banana into his mouth.

"Hey! At least peel it!"

Stark spat out the banana. "I'm a patient, can you be a bit gentler."

"Don't talk in such a sissy way, Tony."

As he said this.

Ye Li saw Stephen in the right bed stop talking and handed him a parchment map. "Don't be so dejected, Stephen, a lady gave me this."

"A lady?"

Stark could always find the point, interjecting, "So while we were injured, you had another encounter with a beauty?"

"I wish."

Ye Li: "But this is what she asked me to pass on to Stephen."

"What is this?"

Stephen nudged it with his mouth, wanting to unfold the map; after trying and finding it impossible, he shouted: "Nur...!"

"Forget it, I'll help you."

Ye Li reached out and helped him unfold it—on the map, a location in Nepal was circled.

Stephen said confusedly, "What does this mean?"

He hadn't gone everywhere seeking medical treatment for his hands yet, so he wasn't particularly desperate.

"Magic, Stephen."

Ye Li warned, "When you can't find a way forward, you can try it. But remember not to bother me when the time comes; find your own way."

Strange: ??

He was even more confused.

"Hey, Li, I have something for you too."

"Don't ask too much, just accept it."

Tony pulled out two pieces of paper and handed them to Ye Li. "Pass the other one to Black Spider... everyone says you have a connection with him."

Ye Li took the two pieces of paper and saw the string of zeros on them clearly.

"Wow~ two checks, looks like Mr. Stark still wants to leave some inheritance for me."

"Alright, Tony."

"I originally didn't want to meddle."

"But you're too slow, I can't even watch it anymore."

Ye Li put away the two checks and said, "Listen to me, don't interrupt..."

"The new element that can solve your palladium poisoning is in the city model your father left behind..."

"Don't ask me how I know."

"Go ask S.H.I.E.L.D. for the data."

It was all just a matter of a sentence or two.

Seeing how miserable these two bad friends were, he just said it directly.

"New element?"

Tony was more and more shocked as he listened, but still couldn't help asking Ye Li, "How do you know!?"

[...didn't I tell you not to ask]

Ye Li brushed it off casually. "Cindy's spider-sense is very strong; she can occasionally foresee fragments of the future."

"'Silk' Cindy Moon?!"

1001671055

Tony wrote another check on the spot and stuffed it to him, his eyes serious. "Pass this one to that girl! Be sure to thank her for me!"

"..."

Leaving the ward.

Ye Li looked at the three extra checks in his pocket and remained silent...

Money really does chase after you.

After a while.

"Help! Save me!"

"NO! NO!"
