"Mjolnir!"
Thor was furious—this was his beloved hammer!
"Give it back!"
Boom—!
The ground cracked beneath the Thunder God's stomp as he launched toward Ye Li, reaching out to reclaim Mjolnir!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh～
"What's the rush?"
Ye Li spun the hammer strap a few times——
"Here, have it back."
BANG!!!
With a muffled thud, the silver hammerhead slammed into Thor's chest, sending him flying backward!
Thud!——Roll, roll, roll~
The Crown Prince of Asgard rolled twice across the open ground, clutching his hammer, feeling slightly breathless…
"Whoa..."
"Who... are they...?"
"Big brother is amazing..."
Since the Bifrost had descended just moments ago, the three children had been frozen in shock, their little heads completely unable to process what was happening...
"Thor!"
Sif immediately charged at Ye Li with her spear, shouting to the Three Warriors, "I'll hold him off! You go check on Thor!"
Whoosh———!
The spear tip lunged forward.
Clang~
A short sword shot out from Ye Li's sleeve, clashing against the spear. The purple blade gleamed with a ghostly cold light, clearly laced with deadly poison.
"Who exactly are you!?"
Sif had never met Ye Li face to face. Seeing his sinister-looking weapon, her mind instantly filled in the blanks: he must be some wicked villain...
After all, a certain second princess of Asgard and Nine Realms' top assassin-mage also loved using hidden sleeve weapons like this...
But at that moment.
Matilda turned her head and looked at Sif in confusion, "Huh? Sister, you look familiar. Why are you fighting my brother?"
Sif was stunned...
She still had a deep impression of this brave girl. Back then, Matilda had even gone toe-to-toe with the Destroyer...
"Sif, stop."
Thor rubbed his chest, walked over, glanced at Matilda... then at Ye Li... and finally hesitated.
"I think... we've misunderstood something..."
He had met Ye Li once before and knew he was Matilda's brother.
After listening to Thor's explanation.
Sif still gave Ye Li and Matilda a weird look, "So... do all siblings in Midgard hug and kiss each other like that?"
"Ahem..."
Ye Li coughed awkwardly and made up an excuse, "Only siblings who are really close... do this..."
"Hmm..."
Matilda also felt embarrassed under their stares. She put her hands on Ye Li's shoulders, swinging her fair legs in the air~
Then—whoosh~plop—
She gracefully flipped off his back and hid behind him shyly...
Thor found it amusing—his chest felt much less tight. He considered Matilda a friend, but this was the first time he had seen her act like this.
"Whoa~ long time no see."
Ye Li suddenly greeted.
Thor was startled.
Wait, we're not that close, are we...
He hesitated and replied, "Oh... hello..."
"Nice to see you... or not." Ye Li slightly bent down and patted Pig Hero's head...
Duroc Pig: "Snort~ Snort~"
Thor froze awkwardly: "..."
'So, he wasn't even greeting me...'
…..
Florida.
Miami.
Wuennnn...
Clack...
Click...
"Hehehe! Quiet down, you all."
Stark ordered the clone soldiers stepping out of the vehicle, "This is a covert operation, understand? Do you even know what 'covert' means?"
"..."
The clone soldiers remained completely silent.
They maintained their silence.
"Alright..."
Stark shook his head helplessly, "When it comes to talking, you guys are definitely quiet..."
"That guy Li went offline and has been silent for so long... I should file a complaint about this terrible customer service attitude..."
"According to the service agreement..."
One of the leading clone soldiers suddenly spoke in Ye Li's voice: "...Real-time chatting isn't included in the service package, Tony."
"You're finally back online!"
Tony quickly pulled the clone soldier aside and crouched down, "I've found Mandarin's hideout, Li. I have a stealth plan now..."
"Stealth my ass."
Ye Li, controlling the clone soldier, pulled out two 12.7mm-caliber submachine guns: "We storm in!"
Tony: "Huh?"
Ratatatatata——!!
"Enemy attack!—Ahhh!!"
"Run! They're too strong!"
The screams of the guards echoed continuously from Mandarin's estate!
"It's special forces! We're no match for them!"
"Oh God! Help!"
"Ahhh!....."
The sounds...
Quickly faded into silence.
