Chapter 5 - 5

After the performance, all the audience had left, and Li Yue didn't forget to thank Peter and his family and say goodbye.

After that, Li Yue met Uncle John and Barry backstage.

"Mr. Li Yue, your magic performance was simply too wonderful.

Although I'm a prop master and know the secrets of magic, I still have to say that your performance today was incredibly cool, especially the last trick.

I couldn't figure out how it was done at all.

Could you tell me how you did it?"

As soon as they met, Barry eagerly asked Li Yue.

Iris also looked curious.

Li Yue's later performance today deeply shocked Barry.

As a prop master for magicians, he knew the principles behind many tricks, but he truly didn't know how Li Yue's magic was performed.

Moreover, he had found the two boxes himself and was sure there were no issues, which made him even more perplexed.

"Sorry, Barry, that's a secret."

Just kidding, how could Li Yue answer Barry's question?

Should he tell him he used superpowers to perform magic?

Seeing that Li Yue was unwilling to speak, Barry and Iris only felt a slight regret and didn't press further.

"By the way, Uncle John, I think you'll have to take me in tonight, because I'm homeless now," Li Yue said to Uncle John, who had followed closely behind.

"No problem, Li Yue, you've helped me a great deal!

You can pick any room in my house!" Uncle John said with a smile, indicating it was no trouble.

In the end, Li Yue indeed stayed at Uncle John's house.

Uncle John's wife had passed away from illness a few years ago and they had no children, so Uncle John was alone at home, which wasn't a problem.

At Uncle John's house, Li Yue and Uncle John were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Mainly, Uncle John's house didn't even have a computer, but at Uncle John's age, not using a computer was understandable.

Li Yue's attention wasn't on the TV right now; he was wondering what world he had arrived in.

The few people he had met today all had familiar names, which could just be coincidental, but Li Yue still couldn't be sure which world he had transmigrated to.

It seemed he would have to find time to learn more about this world to know where he was.

"Tony Stark, visionary, genius, patriot.

From a young age, as the son of legendary weapons developer Howard Stark, he quickly gained public attention with his extraordinary intelligence.

He made circuit boards at four, built his own engine at six, and graduated from MIT at seventeen as the top student.

After the passing of the family patriarch, Howard Stark's lifelong ally, Obadiah Stane, took over as the founder of Stark Industries until a prodigal Tony, at 21, returned to the company to become the new CEO of Stark Industries, wielding the power of a weapons empire.

Tony led his father's legacy to new heights, creating intelligent weapons, advanced robots, and satellite positioning technology.

Now, Tony has pioneered a new landscape in the weapons industry, defending American freedom and the nation's global interests."

At this moment, a passage on the TV interrupted Li Yue's thoughts.

As a Black man in an American military uniform handed a trophy to a bald man on TV, Li Yue finally came to his senses; he now understood what world he had arrived in.

"Heh heh, a peace prize awarded to an arms dealer, how ridiculous," Uncle John's indignant voice reached Li Yue's ears, but Li Yue was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Uncle John's complaints.

The Marvel world is an extremely dangerous world for transmigrators, with countless powerful individuals and constant disasters.

First, New York was invaded by aliens, then the Dark Lord Dormammu wanted to devour Earth, and later there was a big purple bald guy dedicated to universal family planning.

This was only what was shown in the movies; there were many comic book characters not shown in the movies, and it was unknown if they existed in this world.

Although Li Yue's superpowers were not weak compared to other superheroes, they were still not enough against those stronger individuals.

Moreover, Li Yue's superpowers were only invincible for escaping, but his attack power was too low.

Although Li Yue felt his current physical fitness should surpass Captain America's, Captain America's passive ability was the strongest, always resulting in a 50/50 fight with anyone.

No matter what Li Yue thought, he had already arrived in this Marvel world, and he didn't even know how he got here, let alone how to go back; he had no clue at all.

Fortunately, the current time was before Tony became Iron Man, but it was getting close.

He still had plenty of time, but in this dangerous world, Li Yue could only rely on his own strength.

As long as he had strength, if Thanos wanted to snap his fingers, he would have to see if Li Yue agreed.

Li Yue could only comfort himself this way for now.

Meanwhile, Tony, who was playing dice, was found by his good buddy Colonel Rhodes.

There was no way around it; Tony was always surrounded by a group of beautiful women, so anyone who wasn't blind could easily find him.

Rhodes handed the peace prize trophy to Tony, who casually tossed it to a nearby beauty.

As one of Tony's very few good friends, Rhodes naturally understood Tony's personality and didn't mind these things.

After telling Tony not to forget tomorrow's arms deal, he left.

After his fun, Tony was also preparing to return to his beachfront villa.

Just as he was about to get into his sports car, he was called out by a beautiful female reporter.

It must be said, Tony's seduction techniques were very clever; in just a few sentences, he chatted the beautiful reporter back to his home and into his bed.

The next day, at the headquarters of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, which later became S.H.I.E.L.D., Director Nick Fury and Agent Maria Hill were watching a video in the Director's office.

The video showed Li Yue's magic performance from yesterday.

After the video finished, Nick Fury remained silent for a long time.

This was the fifth time they had watched it.

After this time, Nick Fury finally stopped replaying the video and said to Hill, "Tell me about this video and this person's situation, as detailed as possible."

"Director, the video came from one of our agents who is currently on vacation.

After technical department appraisal, no signs of fakery were found.

The person performing magic in the video is named Li Yue.

According to him, he is from China, but our personnel have not found any information about him.

We can only find that he was brought to the theater yesterday by the theater owner, John, and then, because the original magician was absent due to his mother's serious illness, he performed instead, which is the performance in the video."

At this point, Hill saw that Nick Fury didn't speak, but instead stared intently at the man in the video with his right eye.

Hill paused for a moment before continuing, "The man's earlier magic tricks in the video are easily explained; they are just some deceptive sleight of hand.

However, the very last performance has no reasonable way of being achieved.

Our staff consulted the world's top magicians and did not receive a reasonable explanation.

Someone suggested there might be a mechanism under the boxes, but our personnel inspected the theater scene that very night and only found mechanisms used for his earlier magic.

There were no abnormalities under the two boxes or around the location where he appeared in the audience."

"Could it be twins?" Nick Fury suddenly asked.

"There's no information regarding that.

We can only trace his information from his appearance yesterday until now; it's as if he appeared out of nowhere.

Moreover, even if he had a twin brother, it wouldn't explain how he suddenly disappeared and reappeared without being noticed by those around him," Hill replied.

"Keep a close watch on him, and find an opportunity for Coulson to meet him.

Be careful not to alarm him, and don't use aggressive methods to provoke him," Nick Fury ordered Hill.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of the Director's office, causing Nick Fury and Hill to look towards the door simultaneously.

"Come in," Nick Fury said.

"Director, Tony Stark is missing," the person who entered was none other than the recently mentioned Coulson.
