Chapter 98: Avengers' Third Kind of Close Encounters
Yang Le wrapped his tail around Tony and found that he was motionless, so he knew that he had fainted.

This was good, as it saved unnecessary explanations. Yang Le accelerated and passed through the portal, returning to the sky above New York.

It dived all the way, and when it was about to hit the ground, Yang Le stopped abruptly, raising a cloud of dust.

He flicked his tail and threw the unconscious Tony to the ground. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a big green guy rushing towards him.

With a spin, Yang Le dodged Hulk's attack and shot two green rays from his eyes, straight at Hulk.

The thick-skinned Hulk never bothers to dodge attacks, so Yang Le does not recommend opening the eyes of this earth bumpkin.

Hulk jumped towards the light. In his mind, nothing could stop him from attacking, but this time he miscalculated.

Hulk, who was hit by the beam, fell straight to the ground due to inertia.

This is another ability of the stingray besides super-high-speed flight, which is the neural shock ray that can shut down the nervous system of an organism.

This ray can be said to be quite buggy. As long as you are an organism, it can cause considerable damage to your nervous system. Even if your regenerative ability is strong, you will be stunned.

Hulk, lying on the ground, struggled to stand up, roaring angrily. It was obvious that Yang Le had caused him considerable damage, but Yang Le knew that Hulk would recover soon.

"Roar!"

Hulk roared, slammed his right hand on the ground, and finally got up, waking up Tony who had fainted.

"Oh! Ahem!"

Tony was frightened by Hulk's roar and accidentally choked on his own saliva. He pulled off his mask and breathed in the Earth's air in big gulps.

Hulk stopped. Tony's awakening eased his desire to attack. Yang Le also understood the situation and both of them turned their eyes to Tony.

"Huh~Jar...Jarvis?" Tony gasped.

"I'm here sir."

"It's good to hear you talk." Tony struggled to lean against a piece of gravel.

"Me too, sir."

"Oh, by the way, Pepper didn't answer my call, so I'll deduct one year's salary from her salary." Tony collapsed powerlessly on the gravel.

"With all due respect, sir, you have no right to deduct Miss Pepper's wages."

"Thank you for the reminder." Tony was powerless to refute.

"You're welcome sir."

"So what's the situation now?" Captain America and the other Avengers, who arrived late, looked at the triangle relationship in front of them with confusion.

Tony leaned weakly on the rubble, looking as if his life was not in danger. Hulk, who was standing next to him, was looking warily at Yang Le who was standing across from them.

"Nice to see you again, Captain." Tony's slumped posture was similar to that of Mr. Ge.

"Are you okay, Tony?" Steve staggered to Tony's side. It seemed that the battle just now had caused him a lot of trouble.

"Oh, it's okay. I just want to eat some Arabic kebab. I remember there's a good restaurant nearby. Let's go there later."

"Looks like you're okay." Steve smiled with relief when he saw Tony was still acting funny.

"Captain." Hawkeye reminded from the side, and he also looked at Yang Le vigilantly.

"We have another guest."

Steve certainly noticed Yang Le, but he wanted to check on Tony first, and with his teammates around, he didn't immediately deal with Yang Le. "Oh, I forgot to introduce you guys," Tony's tone suddenly brightened.

"This is a new friend I just made in outer space. I don't know his name, but he brought me back to Earth."

"My name is Stingray." Yang Le followed Tony's line of thought and introduced himself. If one wanted to hide his true identity, an alien visitor was indeed a good idea.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to speak English." Tony's voice was weak, making people worry that he might fall asleep.

"I don't know English, but I have a translator." Yang Le was not lying. His English level had indeed not improved compared to before. After all, his watch had a built-in translation function, so he didn't need to waste time learning it.

"Mr. Stingray." Steve showed a kind expression and expressed his goodwill to Yang Le. Unfortunately, because of the pain, his handsome face looked a little strange.

"We are very grateful that you saved Tony, but we want to know why you came. This may cause you dissatisfaction, but please understand. After all, we have just experienced an invasion from space."

"I understand." Yang Le landed on the ground.

"I'd love to be associated with someone like you."

"Thank you for your understanding." Steve breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he was so exhausted that he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"I come here with good intentions." Yang Le moved his legs and walked to Steve.

Although the stingray is an amphibious creature, its two legs cannot support it to run, and even walking is very staggering.

"I know the mastermind behind this invasion." Yang Le dropped a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth, attracting everyone's attention.

"Who is it?" Steve asked.

"Aren't you afraid that I will deceive you?" Yang Le asked back.

"If it were something on Earth, I probably would," Steve shrugged.

"But the universe, it seems today we know nothing about it, and it's no use for you to lie to us."

"Okay." Yang Le grinned.

"This is not the place to talk. By the way, are you guys done with your work?"

"Yes, there is still one thing, and I have sent the most suitable companion." Steve said with a smile.

"I don't think there's any brother who doesn't want to see his elder brother. As for where to talk..."

"I know a good restaurant." Tony raised his right hand with effort.

"Believe me, I really need it right now."

"Director?" Steve helplessly placed his hand on the communication device.

"Go ahead, I'll take care of everything." Although Nick Fury in this universe had a dark face, his heart was not completely black. Tony had just saved New York, and he did not recommend satisfying a small request.

He found the restaurant Tony mentioned, but it was already deserted, even the ceiling was gone. However, he still asked the agents to set up a large table, arranged where the SHIELD chef was, and checked it inside and out.

Even if there was not even a single intact item to be found there, he would certainly not forget to set up SHIELD's monitoring equipment there.

"The decoration style here was not like this when I came here last time." Tony took off his battle suit at this time. After all, he had no energy left, and wearing it was just a burden.

He said as he looked at the ruins in front of him.

“I hope the taste of their home hasn’t changed because of the renovation.”
