Chapter 97

"Brother, are you up? It’s getting late~"

Ye Li’s temple twitched.

Damn cheap sister... ruining my moment.

See if I don't teach you a lesson later!

[Transport Ship 66, there is data on you in the computer, but no flight record; what cargo are you carrying, over.]

[Weapons and ammunition, over.]

The transport pilot replied calmly to the inquiry from the Helicarrier, while behind him...

Was an entire squad of heavily armed mercenaries.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh*~

Hawkeye extended his powerful bow; his eyes were covered with a pale blue layer, like a blue version of cataracts.

Sunnival Manor.

"Wow, it’s so big."

Barbara exclaimed to Ye Li.

"It’s almost as big as the club."

She had put on a cropped top and tight pants, and was taking a walk with Ye Li and his two sisters.

Tall and well-proportioned, her figure was similar to Jessica’s at her side; both had extremely aesthetic curves.

"Hmm...? When did..."

Jessica was dressed in her detective trench coat, looking at Barbara and then at Ye Li, unable to figure out when they had gotten together...

"Stop wandering around, brother."

Jessica thought for a while.

Couldn't figure it out.

So she brought up her original purpose.

She pointed to the White Lightsaber Matilda was carrying on her shoulder and suggested to Ye Li in a low voice.

"Make a scabbard for it; don't you think Matilda looks weird like this..."

Ye Li glanced at Matilda, who was carrying the sword.

Mmm... it was indeed a bit unrefined; if she were to have a cigarette in her mouth, her boss-lady aura would immediately emerge.

Just as he was thinking this.

He saw Matilda skillfully pull one out of her pocket and put it in her small mouth as if nothing had happened.

"....."

Ye Li was speechless and reached out to take the cigarette from her mouth; there was still a bit of silver saliva thread left on the filter.

"Don't smoke in the morning.

Jessica, keep an eye on her; from now on, at most one cigarette every three days; bad habits must be corrected slowly."

Matilda blinked, not angry, and nodded obediently. "Brother said so, then I won't smoke."

Quite obedient.

Ye Li rubbed his little sister’s head and said to his second sister.

"I can find Stark Industries to make an intelligent version of the scabbard, but there’s no rush. Jessica, take Matilda out to play first."

"Hmm?"

Jessica scanned back and forth between her brother and Barbara, asking with a suspicious look.

"Why are you sending us away? What do you want to do?"

Ye Li put his arm around Barbara’s shoulder and smiled at Jessica. "Just doing some morning exercises in the manor."

Barbara also cooperated with a gentle smile~

"Morning exercises?"

Jessica looked at her phone. "But it’s almost nine o'clock..."

"Uh..."

Ye Li choked for a moment and then changed his words.

"Barbara wants to exchange some combat techniques with me; she’s wanted to do this for a long time, right?"

Barbara cooperated again, smiling and nodding.

"That’s right, you can't just teach Seeing Seeing Natasha~

Li, you have to guide me too.

Truth is found through discussion; what do you think about integrating yoga into combat techniques?"

[Didn't we integrate it yesterday...]

Ye Li thought to himself, but said aloud.

"Mmm, that’s a very good idea; I believe our combat levels can both be improved because of it."

Seeing the two of them putting on an act, Jessica couldn't help but roll her eyes and picked up Matilda.

"Alright.

Matilda, let’s go test the power of the White Lightsaber; don't disturb your brother here."

*Whoosh*—

Jessica flew away with Matilda very quickly.

Today, she was actually relatively free, so she planned to take her sister to the seaside to play.

She chose a fairly large, uninhabited reef island that looked calm and peaceful.

"This is it; no need to worry about causing damage here."

Jessica landed with her sister. "Matilda, try the White Lightsaber on the sea to see if it has any special abilities, just like that ball of yours."

"Okay."

Matilda held the sword up with both hands and tried to invoke its power.

The blade soon bloomed with white light.

Ancient patterns lit up one by one.

"......I feel it!"

The girl slashed down with the long sword held high above her head—

—*Whoosh*!

A long, narrow sword beam shot out instantly! It split the sea surface in front of them in two for a short time!

*Splash splash*~

The splashed seawater fell like a rain waterfall; under the reflection of the sunlight, the water droplets reflected clusters of rainbow light.

"Wow~"

Jessica placed a hand on her forehead to shade her eyes, sighed, and said.

"It looks even more powerful than a lightsaber.

With this, plus that antique lightning ball,

Matilda, you will definitely become an excellent superhero when you grow up!"

*Boom!!*

A loud noise in the sky.

S.H.I.E.L.D.’s headquarters, the Helicarrier, had a small part of its wing destroyed by one of Hawkeye’s explosive arrows.

And the background reflection panels on the outer deck also failed as a result.

The previously cloaked Helicarrier was revealed to the eyes of Jessica and her sister, who were looking up.

"This is..."

Matilda pointed her sword tip at the sky, somewhat puzzled. "Did I slash an alien spaceship out?"

"No, Li told me about this."

Jessica was also surprised.

"This is S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Helicarrier No. 64; was it attacked by someone?"

*Boom!*

*Bang!*

"Whoa, looks like it’s quite an intense fight."

Jessica maintained her shading posture, looking at the carrier that was occasionally emitting fireworks in the sky.

Matilda stuck the sword into the ground and took out the Meow-Meow Ball. "Should we help or leave quickly?"

"Let’s watch for a while."

Jessica was also the type to watch the fun without fearing it was too big.

S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't ordinary civilians, so she had no interest in intervening.

And she hadn't been a "female knight" for quite a while; she wasn't even wearing her combat suit today.

"I can feel Mjolnir."

Matilda suddenly looked at a separation pod ejected from the carrier; the Meow-Meow Ball in her hand also vibrated slightly, as if it had discovered a peer.

*Whoosh*—! *En*—!!

"Careful! Matilda!

It’s crashing toward us!"

Silver light rose from the soles of Jessica’s shoes; she slid and retreated dozens of meters while holding Matilda.

*Bang!!*

The moment the pod hit the ground, Thor swung his hammer and flew out from the super-tempered glass.

The inertia caused him to bounce and roll on the island a few times until he landed at Jessica and Matilda’s feet...

"......."

Jessica poked his thick arm with the tip of her shoe. "Sir... are you okay?"

"It’s Thor."

Matilda jumped out of Jessica’s arms and walked over to squat beside Thor. "Weird uncle, what happened to you?"

"Pfft—!"

Thor spat out a mouthful of hay and concrete, indignantly saying, "Loki... I must give you a good beating..."

"What?"

Matilda wanted to ask more.

Thor’s head tilted, and he closed his eyes: "Uh~"

Clearly, even an Asgardian couldn't handle a fall from nine thousand meters; his head was knocked unconscious.

"Is he the Thor who gave you the sword?"

Jessica pulled Thor’s collar. "Then we have to save him."

"Wait, the weird uncle still has something important."

Seeing her sister was about to leave.

Matilda thought of something, held up a small hand, and earnestly sensed—

*Buzz buzz buzz!*

Thor’s Mjolnir, which had flown out of his hand, vibrated violently.

Then it flew up instantly.

And landed in her hand—*Snap!*

Matilda looked at Mjolnir happily. "You really still recognize me~"

*Whoosh whoosh*—

While the Helicarrier was fighting fiercely.

Jessica flew away holding her sister.

Thor, with his neck caught in Mjolnir’s strap, also dangled along as they flew.

Fortunately, he was an Asgardian, and his body density was three times that of a human, so there was no need to worry about being strangled or anything.

Time flew by.

After checking S.H.I.E.L.D.’s emergency message.

Barbara still put aside her intimacy with Ye Li and secretly rushed back to help... after all, it was a place she had worked for many years, and she had developed feelings for it.

Ye Li naturally didn't care about this.

He had already blessed Barbara with a Mind Shield and injected her with the immortal power of the Dog Talisman.

With double protection, even Barbara, with her mortal physique, could go and deal with the Chitauri.

And in Sunnival Manor.

Ye Li was currently holding Felicia, stroking her cat ears.

On the TV screen in front of them was the latest live news from New York City—

[...A blue beam of light has risen from the top of Stark Tower, opening a huge wormhole in the sky... Iron Man and other superheroes are continuing to fight monsters suspected to be an alien army...]

"Li, why did you gather us here?"

Gwen asked curiously.

"These alien monsters have invaded New York; aren't we going to help?"

Ye Li lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and replied, "Tony and the others are enough; it doesn't matter if we join the fun or not."

Skye was pulling up surveillance: "But their situation looks average; these aliens look very fierce, is it really okay?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Jessica also chimed in: "In such a big scene, wouldn't it be bad if our club didn't show up?"

"Gwen."

Ye Li suddenly looked up and asked Gwen.

"What’s the date today?"

"Ah?"

Gwen didn't know why he suddenly asked this, but she still checked the date.

"Today is..."

"June..."

"Eh... the first?"

"Huh? Today is Children’s Day."

Jessica complained.

"These aliens really know how to pick a date."

"It’s not just the Chitauri who know how to pick a date..."

Ye Li took out the Ox Talisman and handed it to Jessica.

"You’re right, Jessica; the club should still show its face; go have some fun."

"Alright, leave it to me~"

Jessica had long been impatient; she took the talisman and happily flew out of the manor.

Subsequently.

Ye Li put Felicia into Gwen’s arms and instructed.

"Gwen, Felicia, stay in the manor and don't run around; I’m going out for a stroll."

Gwen subconsciously hugged Felicia’s soft body, then froze.

"Li, you’re going out for a stroll at a time like this... it’s too dangerous..."
