Alex wasn't familiar with spreading rumors. At the very least, he didn't know Liu Zhi's plan.
However, Liu Zhi patiently explained the details to him.
The rumors were actually quite simple. Although this world had taken a different path, it was obvious that knowledge of the Infinity Stones had spread among the powerful. Otherwise, Red Skeleton wouldn't have come looking for clues about cosmic magic back then.
