He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 33 Li Chuan's Counterattack

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Li Chuan formed hand seals and spat out a large fireball, which slammed down on the weapons piled up like a small mountain in front of the cave.

A deafening explosion rang out, and all the explosives were detonated one after another, flames shooting into the sky. Moments later, the entire valley had completely collapsed.

His actions were not only intended to attract the attention of the military forces searching for Tony, but more importantly, to erase any traces of his activities.

"Mission to kill Raza and destroy his base is complete. Mission rewards have been sent to the mission space."

As the explosion ended, a pleasant mission notification sound rang in Li Chuan's ears.

Meanwhile, Tony and Ethan, who were standing next to him, were staring wide-eyed.

"Have I been out of the sun for too long? My eyes are blurry. I saw him spit out a huge fireball from his mouth!"

"Actually... I saw it too!"

What did they just see? They actually saw Li Chuan spit out a huge fireball from his mouth.

If Li Chuan's previous abilities were still within the range of surprise but understandable, then his ability to spit out a giant fireball has completely exceeded their expectations.

In Tony's understanding, changing one's appearance is not impossible if holographic imaging technology is utilized effectively.

So aside from being somewhat surprised at first, he wasn't so surprised afterward. He even thought that Li Chuan might be carrying a high-tech holographic imaging device.

As for someone taking down an entire base of terrorists, while that's frightening, it's not unacceptable; it simply means they have exceptionally strong combat skills.

However, as soon as it spat out of its mouth, a fireball almost the size of a person was spewed out, which really cannot be explained by science.

Could Li Chuan be a robot with a flame-breathing device in his mouth, and just now used gasoline from his stomach as fuel to spew out flames?

Okay, that's clearly not the right answer.

"The search and rescue team should be here soon. I hope you can keep this a secret, because I don't want to get entangled with S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra. They're a real pain!"

Li Chuan looked at Tony and Ethan, whose mouths were agape, with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Of course, we won't tell anyone else about your affairs, but I know about Hydra. They weren't wiped out during World War II. And what is S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Tony nodded, then asked with some doubt.

The Hydra organization is probably known to every American, as it is the main villain in Captain America cartoons, movies, and stage plays.

It is also recorded in textbooks.

Even when he was a child, he often heard his father, Howard, mention Captain America. The two were good friends and had fought together.

However, as everyone knows, this organization was destroyed by Captain America during World War II, and Captain America sacrificed himself as a result.

He had never heard of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"You don't know S.H.I.E.L.D.? That's an organization your father founded?"

Li Chuan deliberately feigned surprise.

Tony was clearly even more surprised than him:

"My father?"

"Okay, let me briefly explain. S.H.I.E.L.D. stands for Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency, which was founded by your father, Peggy Carter, and Chester Phillips."

It has now developed into a global organization with the aim of maintaining the security of the entire planet. Its main targets are terrorist organizations that may threaten the security of the planet, people with superpowers and special abilities, and extraterrestrials that may appear.

People like me, with some special abilities, would probably be arrested and imprisoned immediately if discovered. Even if they didn't do anything wrong, they would be monitored for life and would have no freedom whatsoever.

Li Chuan gave a general overview of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Tony frowned:

"They're really domineering. No one can control another person's freedom like that without breaking the law."

Having just been kidnapped and imprisoned for almost a month, Tony now loathes this kind of control over other people's freedom.

"Actually, if that's the case, it wouldn't be a big deal, but from what I understand, S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't as pure as it used to be, because Hydra agents have infiltrated their ranks."

At least I know that several high-ranking agents are actually Hydra agents, but the ridiculous thing is that their director, that guy Nick Fury, doesn't know anything about it.

So someone like me, once they discover me, will probably end up being secretly moved by Hydra agents and then dissected for human experimentation!

Li Chuan shrugged.

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Tony's expression also turned serious.

"Don't worry, Chuan, Ethan and I will not reveal your information to anyone who asks."

"Haha, no need to be so serious. Just know that if they really want to mess with me, I'm not someone to be trifled with either."

Upon seeing this, Li Chuan's face turned cold, while Tony and Ethan nodded subconsciously.

Actually, he said those words on purpose for Tony to hear.

Previously, Garrett's Hydra agents had caused him trouble, but he refrained from retaliating because it wasn't a good time to completely break with Hydra. However, that doesn't mean things can be left like that.

He considered asking Nick Fury to expose Hydra's identity, but firstly, why would Nick Fury believe a stranger like him instead of his old boss who passed the directorship to him and the subordinate he personally trained?

Secondly, even if it arouses Nick Fury's suspicion, it would put him in the spotlight, resulting in a Pyrrhic victory, which is not worthwhile.

Later, he thought he might be able to remain anonymous and reveal things to Nick Fury without exposing his identity, for example, by using his shapeshifting ability to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and leave a note or something.

But it's equally hard for Nick Fury to believe that if Hydra discovers them first and targets the few real agents S.H.I.E.L.D. has left, then S.H.I.E.L.D. will be doomed.

For Li Chuan, S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't much better than Hydra, and he was actually happy to see them fighting amongst themselves.

So he first revealed this information to Tony, and then later through Tony to Nick Fury, so that he would not expose himself, but also truly make Nick Fury wary.

Then let S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra fight it out, and he can slowly develop in the process.

Similarly, they could also win over Tony, preventing him from completely siding with S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the original movie, Tony was always wary of S.H.I.E.L.D., didn't trust them much, and disliked many of their actions.

"Your people are here, I'm leaving now!"

Seeing the faint black dot appearing in the distance, Li Chuan knew that the search and rescue team had noticed the anomaly and was on their way to investigate.
