Ancient One thought for a while. Even if she didn't give it to him now, Stephen would not be able to protect the gem after she died.

And if he gave the Time Stone to Dane, Thanos would have to snatch the original stone from him in the future.

If we don't consider the position, it is actually the most appropriate choice to hand over the raw stone to Dane for safekeeping. He is at least more reliable than those two immortal aliens.

So she made a decision.

"I can give it to you, but you have to wait until I die."

Chapter 1038 Xu Xiali's Cowardice

After Ancient One left, Antonia dragged Shang-Chi, who was as tired as a dead dog, to Tarot Village.

"It looks like there's just been a big battle here."

Shang-Chi was very happy to see the familiar oriental face, but the Tarot people were busy treating the wounded and rebuilding their homes, and no one paid any attention to him.

It was Yingnan who noticed them. She came up to the two of them, mainly to Antonia.

"You must be the one he's looking for-."

This was a bit incoherent, but Antonia understood what she meant. The person who came to see her was here.

"Can you take me to see him?"

By the way, Antonia didn't know who the person coming this time was, she only knew that it was a colleague.

So when she saw Dane, she was surprised and delighted.

"Dane!" She trotted forward immediately.

Dane saw her coming and opened his arms to catch her.

Although they are superiors and subordinates, they usually get along more like siblings. Pepper and Wanda often take her out to play when they are free.

Antonia's poker face is for outsiders. After her emotional knot is untied, her expressions and emotions are very rich in front of her family.

"Why are you here?" she looked up and said in surprise.

"Because you can't solve the problem here, Natasha found that your signal disappeared."

Antonia immediately complained: "Everything was fine, but since this guy took me the wrong way, everything has gone bad."

She pointed at Shang-Chi behind her and accused him.

Dane then turned his gaze to the young man. His face was pale, as if he had rushed forward seventeen or eighteen times in the night.

"Shang-Chi, I didn't expect you to come here after all."

Shang-Chi scratched the back of his head: "Why...you seem to know a lot about me?"

"Your mother, Yingli, escaped from here. So... you are the one who unsealed the Soul Eater?"

Logically speaking, without the Ten Rings, the seal should not be opened.

But if you think about it carefully, the main function of the Ten Rings is not to break the seal. That was purely what Xu Wenwu did under the bewitching influence of his inner demon by the Soul-Eating Monster.

It was the power of the dragon that sealed the Soul Eater, and the power of the same origin is the correct way to unlock the seal. Maybe what Shang-Chi used is the formal procedure to unlock the seal.

If he inherited the power of the dragon, it would not be difficult to understand why he was able to open the seal.

It just makes life difficult for Tarot people.

Guang Bo, who had just entered the room, heard the conversation between several people. He was stunned at first, and then became furious.

He stepped forward, grabbed Shang-Chi by the collar, and pushed him against the wall.

"You are the one who broke the seal of the Soul Eater!"

"I...No, I didn't mean to do that!"

Shang-Qi's strength had not yet recovered and his body was very weak. Even though Guang Bo was old, he couldn't break free from the old man's restraints.

"You bastard! Do you know how many people died in Taro Village because of you? Do you dare to come to me and explain that you didn't mean it?"

The Tarot Man was in a sad mood at this time. If Shang-Chi dared to go out and admit that he accidentally released the Soul Eater, he would probably be torn to pieces by the angry villagers on the spot.

Yingnan hurried over to stop him.

Judging from their relationship, he is her nephew, and she has to protect him for both moral and logical reasons.

"Uncle Guang, calm down first. He is Yingli's child!"

Guang Bo's movements suddenly paused, then he took a closer look at Shang-Chi's face and suddenly sneered.

"Sure enough, he looks a bit like your ambitious father. No wonder, the Xu family is not a good family..."

When Shang-Chi heard this, his eyes turned red with anger, but he couldn't break free and could only rage helplessly.

"Guang Bo!"

Yingnan also felt that what he said was a bit harsh, but considering that the old man had seen too many deaths and injuries today, he was not very angry.

She exerted all her strength with both palms, separating Guangbo and Shangqi to the left and right.

Although he had lost the power of the dragon, Yingnan's martial arts skills were still there, so it was still easy for him to defeat Guangbo.

"That's enough, Guangbo, the villagers still need you."

Guangbo took a few deep breaths and left angrily.

Shang-Chi just felt that this old man was inexplicable. It seemed that he had not offended him, right?

Seeing this, Yingnan explained, "One of Guangbo's family members died in this battle."

Her words made Shang-Chi stiffen, and he fell to the ground as if all the bones in his body had been sucked out.

It has to be said that Shang-Chi's first experience at his mother's house was not a very pleasant one.

But something even worse was waiting for him soon.

"Are you sad enough? If you are, get up. You have to take us to catch your sister."

Shang-Chi raised his head with a look of grief and indignation, but saw that there was no trace of emotion on Dane's face.

Are you a person too?

"Don't look at me like that. At least I'm here to help you clean up the mess. Otherwise, the entire Tarot, and even the dragon, would have been devoured by the Soul Eater. I think you should be more polite to me."

"Are you here to arrest Xu Xialing?"

"Yes, I'm sure you've heard about the great things your sister has done internationally, right?"

Shang-Chi didn't know what to say. Should he be proud or ashamed?

Thinking that Xu Xialing not only caused unrest and took his position, but even wanted to kill him, Shang Qi calmed down and stood up.

"Okay! I'll take you there!"

It would be good to let that dead girl sober up in prison.

"Are you leaving?" Yingnan asked.

"I'm not too interested in this world."

Dane shook his head. He felt that there was nothing particularly valuable in the Tarot. The mythical beasts here were basically just for show, with only the dragon being perhaps of some interest.

But he just took the dragon's reverse scale, he didn't actually need it.

He planned to go back and melt the dragon scales to make two pieces of jewelry.

Yingnan looked at Shang-Chi and said, "Child, I can see that even though you live with Xu Wenwu, you are not lacking in justice."

"If you like, you can come back often. After all, this is your mother's home..."

The three of them eventually left Tarot, and with Dane's help, they easily returned to the Ten Rings Gang headquarters.

Even though we just experienced the Soul Eater incident, which could barely be considered a crisis that could endanger the world, the whole thing actually didn't take much time at all from the time it happened to the time it was resolved.

So when Dane brought Shang-Chi and Antonia back to the Ten Rings Gang, Xu Xialing had just started to warm up in the chair.

Seeing Shang-Chi bringing two people with him, she felt a little depressed: "Can't you give me a little more time?"

"I'm afraid not, little girl."

Dane didn't bother to talk any more, and slapped all the ninjas who rushed over, instantly turning them into minced meat.

Seeing this, Xu Xialing immediately raised her hands and shouted, "I surrender! Hero, please spare my life~!"

Dane paused, and the aftermath of his palm power dissipated, stirring up the surrounding air into a strong wind that hurt Xu Xialing's face.

She secretly wiped away the cold sweat and thought to herself that it was a good thing that she surrendered quickly, otherwise she would have been beaten into a pulp.

My dear brother, if you had told me earlier that you knew such a big shot, I wouldn't have dared to usurp the throne even if I had ten leopards' courage!

Chapter 1039 Talokan Exposed

Shang-Chi and Xu Xialing were quickly brought back to Sokovia via the Rainbow Bridge.

Dane handed the brother and sister directly to Natasha and let her play freely.

Natasha used the power of Sokovia and easily investigated everything Xu Xialing had done.

Xu Xialing was also very cooperative, telling almost everything she knew and behaving very well.

Natasha couldn't help but be shocked after the interrogation. This girl is really bold, but why does she have to learn from the failed art student and make trouble? How can this be good?

This matter made Natasha feel a little difficult to deal with. After all, Xu Xialing was still a minor. Even if everything she had done was exposed, I am afraid not many people would believe it.

And at the end of the day, the truth doesn't matter right now.

However, if this news spreads, it should be able to attract the Winter Soldier. Steve is very concerned about this matter.

There was another person who was also very concerned, and that was Wakanda's King T'Chaka. He was very nervous when he saw the army approaching from Europe.

However, he still found Sokovia's investigation results unbelievable. He couldn't believe that the enemy that caused Wakanda to face such a huge problem was just a little girl.

He even suspected that the people from Sokovia were deliberately trying to fool him, but there was no reason.

And there is still a crucial issue that remains unresolved.

That is who the traitor inside Wakanda is and who opened the gap in the protective shield.

T'Chaka was able to sit firmly on the throne for decades, so he must be very cunning and scheming. Although Eric's cover-ups were careful enough, he still discovered some clues.

He suspected that it was Eric, but firstly, he had no evidence, and secondly, he didn't know how the other party did it, so he wanted to find a breakthrough from the Golden Dagger.

However, there is no direct connection between Golden Dagger and Eric. Their cooperation is more tacit and natural.

So T'Chaka couldn't find a breakthrough with Xu Xialing unless he could capture the Winter Soldier.

As the actual executor, he should know more inside information.

At this time, Nakia suddenly sent a message that she had found the exact location of the Talocan underwater kingdom. She discovered a waterway leading directly to Talocan on a small island in Central America.

Nakia didn't know whether she should continue to investigate further.

"Don't take any risks. Find a way to get this news to America."

Nakia instantly understood what T'Chaka meant, and a feeling of disbelief washed over her.

All along, T'Chaka had given her the impression of being a kind elder. Even as a king, he was a rare and kind person.

But now, T'Chaka's words made her somewhat disillusioned. It turned out that T'Chaka was also a politician with deep scheming.

T'Chaka didn't realize this, and probably didn't care what Nakia thought of him.

"Nakia, the sooner you leak this information to our enemies, the less pressure Wakanda will face."

It is impossible to completely divert the attention of the Western world, but it can somewhat alleviate the pressure on Wakanda and prevent them from facing the strongest military force.

Najia struggled for a while before she made up her mind.

After all, Wakanda is her homeland, and the interests of the country are above everything else.

It is not as difficult as you think to attract the attention of white people.

Compared to the distant African continent, Central America is completely America's backyard. If vibranium mines are really discovered here, the difficulty and cost of mining will only be lower.

This is the most effective way to divert America's attention.

Soon, Nakia used her own means to spread the news that there was a vibranium mine at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to the Internet, and this news quickly attracted the attention of relevant intelligence personnel.

Because Najia's information is very professional and comes with a large number of pictures, documents and related video materials, it is definitely not fake news that ordinary internet celebrity scammers can create.
