...
On a deserted island in the beautiful Caribbean Sea...
The bright sunshine, white sandy beach, clear blue sea, gentle breeze, and the fresh air with a faint hint of the sea made it an ideal place for a vacation.
Lying on a beach chair under a sun umbrella, Liu Rui'an, wearing sunglasses, enjoyed the delicious and fresh coconut water while admiring the enticing figures playing and laughing on the beach.
"Master, an object is approaching at high speed. Based on analysis, there is a 96.8% chance it is Thor. Should we initiate an attack?"
As the voice of the Starling sounded, Liu Rui'an, who had a contented look on his face, shook his head and said:
"Let's skip the attack. After all, they are guests from afar. This time, we invited them here to talk, not to have a falling out."
As he spoke, Liu Rui'an saw a black dot in the distance rapidly growing larger as it approached from the sky.
When the black dot reached above the island, it suddenly drew an arc in the air and then plummeted straight onto the beach.
With a loud boom, the white sand was thrown up into the air as if hit by a bomb.
Shaking his head in annoyance, Liu Rui'an, still lying on the beach chair, didn't even get up. He simply extended his right hand and made a grasping motion toward the direction of the sand.
A massive telekinetic force instantly covered the entire island, and the sand that had been thrown up seemed to freeze in mid-air, creating a slightly eerie and beautiful scene.
"Thor, don't you think it's impolite to arrive at someone's party like this?" Liu Rui'an, sitting up, smiled and said to where Thor had landed.
"Hand over the Cosmic Cube! That is not something humans should possess," Thor, still dressed in his Thor armor and holding his hammer, said.
"Thor, no need to rush. We can discuss this calmly."
As Liu Rui'an spoke, he lightly pressed his hand, and the sand that had been frozen in mid-air instantly lost its momentum and fell to the ground.
In just a few seconds, not only did the sand disappear from the air, but the sand pit created by Thor's landing was also restored, leaving no trace.
Such a miraculous scene left Thor, the God of Thunder, not exactly afraid, but he had to admit that the person's strength was indeed beyond his expectations.
"Alright, I'll see what you have to say."
Thor, who knew the situation wouldn't be smooth before he came, sat down on an empty chair and picked up a bottle of wine to pour himself a glass.
"Thor, you are a god, a god from Asgard, the successor of Odin, the King of the Gods. How can you have no patience?"
Knowing this person's appetite was unusually good, Liu Rui'an, while speaking, had the "flower vases" he brought serve more wine, drinks, and food to this living god.
Faced with these fine wines and delicacies, Thor showed no intention of refusing. He placed his hammer on the table and started to eat voraciously.
It must be said that his eating was far from elegant, but the roughness of his actions was still quite charming.
After Thor finished two bottles of premium ice wine, along with steaks, roasted chicken, fried pork chops, and various fruits, another black dot appeared in the sky far away from the deserted island.
"Master..."
Before the Starling could finish speaking, Liu Rui'an interrupted:
"Alright, Starling, it should be Phil and the others."
This time, Liu Rui'an didn't remain lying on the beach chair but stood up and looked in the direction of the Quinjet.
Although the deserted island wasn't large, Liu Rui'an had already prepared a suitable landing area for the aircraft when organizing this gathering.
After the Quinjet landed, Nick Fury and his team quickly walked out of the cabin.
"Welcome! Welcome!" Liu Rui'an, floating a few feet above the ground, smiled and said as he approached.
"It seems you have more than just the title of a seer," Nick Fury, seeing Liu Rui'an floating in the air, said with a hint of surprise and understanding in his eyes.
"That's not important, is it?" Liu Rui'an, knowing what Fury meant, smiled and replied.
"Is it?" Nick Fury countered.
Ignoring Fury's question, Liu Rui'an nodded to Phil Coulson and the others, then led everyone to the beach.
Just as they sat down at the table on the beach, another black dot was seen flying toward them at high speed.
"Wow! So many hot girls, I really shouldn't have been late." Tony Stark, wearing the latest model of his Iron Man armor, paused in the air and looked down at the crowd, smiling.
"Come down, Tony, that's not very polite," Liu Rui'an, shaking his head with a smile, reminded him.
"OK." Tony Stark, taking the opportunity, landed.
Unlike the older models, this version of Tony Stark's Iron Man armor was not only more powerful in performance but also much quicker to remove.
As soon as he landed, the red and gold armor opened like a flower, and Tony Stark, dressed in casual clothes, walked out.
After staring intently at the white and plump bodies, Tony Stark approached and said, as unreliable as ever:
"Oh, my God, leaving so many girls unattended while a bunch of men sit together, it's hard not to think the worst."
"Tony, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy yourself after the meeting. Don't rush, okay?" Liu Rui'an smiled and said.
"OK, you guys talk, don't mind me."
Tony Stark, who didn't really care about the Cosmic Cube or the scepter and was just curious, picked up a glass of wine and sat down on a beach chair under a sun umbrella.
For some reason, Bruce Banner, who was used to making himself less noticeable, also picked up a glass of wine and walked over.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's get down to business," Liu Rui'an, not surprised by their reactions, said, leaning back in his chair.
"Liu, I hope you will hand over the Cosmic Cube and the scepter," Nick Fury, with his usual poker face, said.
"Humans are not capable of safeguarding the Cosmic Cube. I need to take it back to Asgard," Thor, who had just finished a piece of roasted beef, interjected.
"No, no, no, Tony, that's too extreme," Liu Rui'an, quickly entering negotiation mode, shook his finger and said:
"Ordinary humans may not have the ability, but I am different."
As an Asgardian, Thor, who always respected the strong, wiped his mouth and said:
"I admit your abilities are quite powerful, but you still cannot safeguard the Cosmic Cube. The best way is to take it back to Asgard."
"Whether I can safeguard the Cosmic Cube is not up to you to decide," Liu Rui'an, looking at Thor, smiled and said, "Why don't we try it out?"
"Of course, why not start now?" Thor, picking up his hammer, stood up eagerly.
Seeing that they were about to fight after just a few words, Steve Rogers instinctively prepared to intervene.
But before he could speak, he saw Nick Fury give him a look.
Seeing no one was going to stop them, Liu Rui'an, who clearly understood the exchange between Nick Fury and Steve Rogers, was not surprised at all.
"Starting now is fine, but..." Liu Rui'an smiled and said.
"But what?" Thor, who had been eager to fight the "bird man" baron, asked.
"But, you're not fighting me, you're fighting one of my juniors," Liu Rui'an continued with a smile.
"Junior?" Thor, not understanding what he meant, was somewhat taken aback.
Nick Fury and the others were also surprised, but Liu Rui'an didn't intend to play any suspense games and said:
"Jiazi, come out."
As Liu Rui'an spoke, a column of water suddenly shot up from the sea, and the previously calm surface was now turbulent.
In the stunned gazes of everyone, a young boy, who looked to be about ten years old, flew over from the sky.
What was most shocking was his speed. He moved so fast that the distance seemed to be covered in an instant, and he was already on the beach in the blink of an eye.
"My master, Jiazi is here to report," the young boy, landing gently on the ground, knelt on the sand and said in Chinese.
"Stand up. Go and spar with Uncle Thor in a bit. Remember, just enough to make a point," Liu Rui'an, also speaking in Chinese, instructed.
"Understood, my master."
After standing up, the young boy looked at the large figure with a fanatical expression that was hard to understand.
"Liu, you want me to fight him?" Thor, looking at the boy who only came up to his chest, was somewhat dumbfounded.
"Don't be fooled by his age and size. If we really fight, I think only Dr. Banner could hold his own," Liu Rui'an, understanding what Thor meant, smiled and said:
"Or are you afraid, Thor?"
"You think I'm afraid?!" Thor, who had initially felt it was unfair to fight a child, was immediately riled up and walked over to the young boy in a few quick steps:
"If you want to fight, let's do it. Don't cry when you lose."
Faced with this slightly provocative statement, the young boy's reaction was surprisingly calm.
Not exactly calm. Although his face was calm and he didn't say a word, the "flame" in his eyes intensified several times over in an instant.
For some reason, while Thor, whose fighting spirit was already ignited, was fine, Nick Fury and the others, who were "spectating," couldn't help but feel a chill, as if they were being targeted by a flood or a beast.
