Chapter 997: Chapter 801: First, Let Borrow It_2
“We like to call it Ulu, a special type of tal that is not only incredibly sturdy but also has excellent magical conductivity and high magic affinity.”
Tony had suspected this for a while, and after getting confirmation, he seed quite pleased.
“Oh, buddy, I’ve been working my tail off trying to figure sothing like this out. My hair’s practically falling out! Thanks, man, this saves a ton of trouble.”
Tony had always wanted to incorporate magical properties into his Iron Armor, but the affinity and conductivity of magical power had been giving him quite the headache.
“How’s everything going recently? Anbrella hasn’t stirred up any more nonsense, has it?”
Tao Yu casually asked.
“It’s not too bad. After they kidnapped Asgard’s Crown Prince, their shaky network of interests quickly collapsed. What’s left now is pretty much just everyone scrambling to push the falling wall and feast on the remains.”
Tony said casually but paused before adding,
“Though Hydra is still lingering around. It’s impossible to monitor absolutely everything, but they probably can’t stir up much trouble. Nick Fury has reorganized S.H.I.E.L.D. and is currently carrying out the follow-up hunt.”
“Didn’t he start streaming as an influencer?”
Tao Yu said with a slightly amused expression.
The Egg’s abilities are undeniably impressive, that had to be admitted—he’s got talent for influencer work and public speaking.
Under his pioneer mobile influencer status, the Egg rode the wave with sharp instincts and had beco one of the most popular online personalities.
He even carried titles like ‘King of Agents,’ ‘Tragic Hero,’ and ‘Black Excellence.’
At this rate, it’s not impossible he might pivot into a route resembling that of a particular failed artist.
Tao Yu even suspected he might be harboring ambitions to enter politics and step into the White House soday.
It’s just that his foundations are still a bit shallow for now.
“That doesn’t really clash with anything else. He’s even streaming his agent life now, selecting certain broadcastable content to share.”
Tony, too, seed a bit speechless when talking about Egg.
Agents, supposed to lurk in the shadows, now livestreaming their exploits?
Isn’t that like a spy writing their identity down on Baidu Baike as a personal introduction?
It’s downright absurd…

At the entrance to Stark Tower, Nick Fury, incapable of escaping his ntion, pulled up in his armored vehicle, arriving at the front door flanked by Eagle Eye and Natasha.
“Oh, your beloved Mr. Leon’s car broke down on the way here, so unfortunately, he won’t be able to make it for now. No worries, though—I’ll take you to see what you want to see.”
Nick Fury offered a friendly smile to the streaming drone hovering nearby, his gleaming white teeth conspicuously bright against his dark skin.
Beside him, Natasha and Eagle Eye maintained their perfectly professional deanor as agents, though the corners of their mouths seed to twitch ever so slightly.
“You’ve been pestering Tony to start streaming, haven’t you? But you know how lazy that guy is, always slacking off. He’s got no pattern to his streams, unlike —daily, right on schedule, only interrupted when issues arise.”
Nick Fury launched into a little self-promotion, earning a wave of positive comnts in the stream’s chat.
Thanks to his skin-tone, Nick Fury had an inherent appeal within the Black community, enjoying considerable popularity.
A bunch of Black fans were helping him climb the charts.
“Now Tony’s AI should’ve already detected and inford him. Let’s see if we can connect for a dual stream.”
Standing at the entrance, Nick Fury started operating his phone to initiate a dual-host stream connection.
Sure enough, on the other end, Tony—having received Jarvis’s notification—quickly joined the connection.
Both of them entered the live stream link-up.
Tony’s fans flooded in swiftly.
As it stood, Tony and Nick Fury had beco two of the top strears, both boasting substantial popularity.
The difference being that Tony relied on his prior fa and unique style, streaming with zero consistency,
while Nick Fury had actively cultivated his platform.
“Oh, dear Director Fury, what brings you here? Is Anbrella and Hydra still not enough for you to deal with?”
The Egg, in his usual fashion, nonchalantly brought up Hydra, tying it back to its WWII history, which naturally led to calls to hunt them down and wipe them out.
This made Tony feel no need to hold back during the exchange.
“I imagine you’ve already guessed—it’s related to Mr. Hogan and Mr. Mage. They’ve both landed directly at Ti Square.”
Fury delivered the remark in a lighthearted manner with a touch of humor.
But inwardly, he was deeply troubled.
Ever since news of Thor leaked, Fury had been closely monitoring developnts. He was aware of the existence of civilizations beyond Earth. Fury had seen Captain Marvel and encountered real extraterrestrials.
But now, Asgard raised the stakes to an entirely new level!
Not just mythical Divine Spirits, but ones capable of descending anywhere on Earth at will!
This was even more terrifying than the Kreeans.
At least they needed spaceships and such.
But these Asgardians—good grief—they don’t even bother with spaceships!
Judging by the current situation, they could easily enter the White House within monts if they wanted!
This reinforced Fury’s determination to move forward with his plan, though he wanted to use the levity of the livestream as a ans to ease tensions while probing for more information.
“Oh, you an Hogan? Thor and his company completed their trials and returned to Asgard. Hogan has been sent as their representative and will likely take up a permanent position at the UN.”
Tony’s reply was lighthearted, which montarily eased Fury’s nerves.
