Su Zhou could tell at a glance that Tony hadn't discovered the other intruder at all, then quickly went over everything in his head.

When Tony damaged the ship's hull, it happened to coincide with the hidden infiltrator making their move.

To seize a smaller craft aboard the ship and head to Earth, the infiltrator had used some means to sabotage the ship's systems.

Otherwise, even if they seized a small craft capable of landing on Earth, the warship's defense systems would have shot it down.

Sabotaging the ship's systems had naturally alerted the remaining Skrulls aboard.

Those elderly people, children, women, and infants naturally had little fighting ability. They couldn't even open the armory door.

All they could do was hide, hoping to avoid the ship's intruders.

Tony, who sneaked aboard at that moment, had an even easier time of it, with more than half the warship's systems crippled.

He slipped into the control room and began his theft. That was also when Su Zhou woke up.

Then Su Zhou saw a small craft flying toward Earth and rushed to the control room with Nick Fury, where they encountered Tony.

After Su Zhou explained his deductions to the other two, both Nick Fury and Tony thought he was right.

So now, Earth not only had those ill-intentioned Skrulls on it,

but also an unidentified individual whose combat strength was unknown, yet who was capable of sabotaging a warship's systems!

Su Zhou looked at Fury with displeasure and said viciously through gritted teeth,

"Right now, I really want to put a bullet through that bald head of yours! All of this happened because of you!

I told you the Skrulls were up to no good, and now, before we've even dealt with them,

we've got another outsider, most likely one of those Kree!

Are you planning to let aliens turn Earth into their battlefield?"

Nick Fury also felt he was in a bind now. Originally, he had intended to make use of the Skrulls.

He wanted to use their alien technology to advance Earth's technology, while also monitoring the growing number of superpowered incidents on Earth.

That was why he had contacted those Skrulls and said Earth could take in some Skrull refugees.

But what that actually signaled was that Earth was now ready for interstellar war!

The outsider who had infiltrated the ship was most likely a scout sent by some empire!

In the entire universe, only the Kree Empire was that interested in the Skrulls!

Tony, on the other hand, was a practical sort. As a former arms dealer, he spotted an enormous business opportunity at a glance!

"There's no point arguing here now. The most important thing is to get back to Earth.

Whether they're Skrulls or Kree, finding them and killing them is what matters!

I'll also need to crack the technology I just got my hands on. If those two alien sides start a war on Earth,

we humans can't just sit there without responding!"

Su Zhou nodded too. Tony had a good point.

That Kree spy was worth at least 100 Justice Points. There was no way he could let them escape!

"Let's go! Back to Earth!"

By the time Su Zhou and Nick landed on the outskirts of New York and staggered out of the small craft,

it was already late at night. Tony had flown alongside them in his armor the whole way.

Seeing the sorry state the two were in, he burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha! Director Fury, your piloting skills are terrible.

You've been hanging around aliens for so long, and you still haven't managed to get an alien driver's license?"

Su Zhou felt as though his heart really couldn't take it anymore and clutched his chest again.

That had been more thrilling than riding a drop tower a hundred times in a row! If he hadn't secretly used Ding Xiu's character card during the flight,

he probably wouldn't have been able to stand on the ground!

But Ding Xiu had never flown in his life either, which meant Ding Xiu also had a severe fear of heights.

If Ding Xiu's heart hadn't been healthier than Su Zhou's injured one, he probably would have passed out on the spot too!

Still, using Ding Xiu's character card had unexpectedly given him a new skill!

[Basic Blade Technique: You're now a qualified street thug!]

Well, Ding Xiu was a master of the blade. After experiencing his character card for 300 seconds,

Su Zhou had learned how to hack people up on the streets with a machete. That made perfect sense!

He still had four character experience cards. Did that mean he could pick up another four skills?

For instance, could he use Black Tiger Alfred's character card and gain the skill [Trash Talk]?!

Hiss-!

At that thought, Su Zhou instinctively sucked in a breath, startling Nick and Tony beside him.

Especially when they noticed him clutching his chest, his forehead covered in sweat.

Still wearing his armor, Tony immediately stepped forward to support Su Zhou and asked with concern,

"What's wrong? Is there still something wrong with your heart?

JARVIS, scan Su Zhou's vital signs!"

"I know my own body. My heart's just showing some signs of cardiac arrest, that's all."

Su Zhou gently pushed Tony's arm away and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

[Super Vision] was an extremely useful skill. Su Zhou had already examined his own heart.

It was simply an aftereffect of using [Bullet Time] repeatedly. Several cracks had appeared in his heart.

Those cracks had already been repaired in the Skrulls' healing pod.

But it was still a heart that had been injured, after all. It didn't work as well as the undamaged original!

None of the character cards he had came with healing abilities. Otherwise, he would have just used one to heal himself now.

Third Brother's character card only offered high defense. That didn't mean Third Brother had strong regenerative abilities.

If he could get a Deadpool or Wolverine character card someday, he could solve his heart problem.

Or perhaps a shot of super-soldier serum would do the trick. He had to kill that Kree as soon as possible!

Draws! I have to do more draws!

"Mr. Su Zhou is in good health. His adrenaline levels are simply somewhat elevated."

JARVIS's emotionless voice sounded inside the helmet, putting Tony considerably more at ease.

"Then I'll take this little ship back first. You two go look for that Kree.

Su Zhou, I've already got some ideas for your armor. Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Consider nanotechnology. There should be something on it in the Skrulls' technological data.

Your current armor is still a little bulky. Ideally, it should be portable without compromising protection!"

Su Zhou remembered the Mark 51 Armor Tony used at the end. That was the ideal Iron Man Armor!

So he offered Tony a small, well-considered suggestion, making Tony's eyes light up!

"That makes sense. I'll go back and look into it right now!"

"Tony, you can't take this small craft. It belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

Nick Fury stepped forward in time. Any alien object that landed on Earth

should be subject to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s oversight!

Su Zhou: (´-ι_-`)

That old Fury really had some nerve!

I don't even know how he could say something like that!
