"Li Ang?!"
Coulson and Natasha cried out almost at the same time.
Captain America and Danny, having never met Li Ang and not knowing what he was capable of, reacted very calmly.
But Coulson and Natasha were different. Especially after learning his style and his methods for dealing with evil spirits, they had regarded him as simply godlike.
His nose twitched softly, and behind his sunglasses, his eyes suddenly narrowed. Li Ang looked the group over and said, "I smell fish soup on you."
"."
Startled, Coulson sniffed at his own clothes, but he did not smell anything.
He was still hesitating over whether to tell him what had just happened when A Xing had already stood up first and started describing their recent experience to Li Ang, leaving Coulson and Natasha utterly astonished.
Because judging from how they acted, these two... clearly knew each other.
After listening to A Xing's account, Li Ang smiled with an expression that said so that was how it was. He gave Coulson a sympathetic look, feeling for some reason that this guy's hair had grown a lot thinner after not seeing him for a while.
Then his expression abruptly changed. He crouched down and, with a slick swish, slipped under the table. His movements were so practiced that the others stared blankly.
"If someone comes over and asks about me later, just say you didn't see me. That guy's annoying as hell. I really don't want to go through any more special training with him!"
His head poked out as he whispered urgently to them.
Everyone was baffled and still confused when they saw a man with a strong military bearing walking over.
Whoosh.
He stood ramrod straight, raised his hand, and gave A Xing a military salute, his voice ringing with force.
