After listening to Kao's words, Nick Fury felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible hand. It was extremely uncomfortable. Even his standard black face seemed to have changed its race, revealing a trace of weak paleness.
However, the King of Agents was still the King of Agents. After a moment of fear, he quickly recovered his solemn expression and asked the young man in front of him in a deep voice.
"Then what's the good news?"
"The good news is that those three people should still be on Earth. As long as we can stop them before the space gem is completely activated, we might be able to save Earth.”
As soon as he said this, Fei Qiu's spirit was instantly lifted. He immediately sat up straight and said sincerely," Mr. Aiur, Earth is facing a global disaster. We can't afford the price, so..."
"So you want to seek help from me?”Kao continued.
Fei Qiu nodded heavily. Just like you said, since the force that stole the Tesseract wants to lead an army to invade Earth, what we need to do now is to try our best to prevent this war from happening. The Tesseract is the key.”
"That's right, but you should go to a professional, not me.”
Kao shook his head and did not agree to Fei Qiu's request to find Loki.
This was not only because he needed the other party to lure the army of the chitauri to Earth and create enough chaos, but more importantly... he really could not find this guy now.
In fact, ever since the fall of the S.H.I.E.L.D. base yesterday, Khal had ordered his artificial intelligence, Luna, to act in secret to search for Loki and the others.
However, even though they had searched every corner of the earth through satellites, surveillance, and other methods, they still could not find any trace of them.
It had to be said that although Rocky always dropped the ball at the critical moment, he was indeed a master at playing hide-and-seek. His methods were extremely brilliant.
It was no wonder that he had been able to keep up his little tricks under Odin and Heimdallr's eyes for so many years, but he was rarely discovered by them.
" In fact, we've already tried, but the aliens seem to have a way to block most of the gamma-rays emitted by the Tesseract. My men can't accurately track its location in a short period of time.”
Fei Qiu looked at Kao with a bitter smile, as if he was already used to this kind of situation.
"Where's Bruce Banner? There should be no one on Earth who knows more about gamma-rays than him. Why did you come to me?”
"Uh…Professor Banner hasn't changed back to Hulk after transforming into him last night…It seems like he's been suppressed for too long, and Hulk is a little angry when he wakes up.”
Nick Fury seemed to remember what happened last night. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly." Although Ms. Betty Ross comforted him and prevented him from causing too much harm, he really can't find the Tesseract for us at the moment.”
"It sounds very reasonable, but so what?”
Looking at Fei Qiu who was trying to explain himself, Kao laughed sarcastically."Not to mention that there are many people on Earth who have the ability to find the space gem. Even if they don't, it's your own fault. If you were willing to take my suggestion and throw the space gem out of Earth, today's mess wouldn't have happened.”
The Khal simply put the blame on Fei Qiu and did not tell him that there was another Infinity Gem called " Time " on Earth. Even without this incident, the army of Thanos would have targeted Earth sooner or later.
"Mr. Aiur, there's no point in saying this now. Besides, I have no right to decide whether the Tesseract stays or goes.”Fei Qiu seemed to have recalled something unpleasant, and his face turned black again as he spoke in a low voice.
Through the space gem, one could continuously extract energy from the universe. To Earth, this was an eternal source of energy and the key to entering the interstellar era. In the eyes of many people, this was simply a treasure bestowed by God to mankind.
Therefore, even if there were countless risks hidden behind it, those politicians and dignitaries would still rush to it, even willing to gamble on the future of Earth.
Moreover, Hydra, the loser of S.H.I.E.L.D., was also in the middle of the mess. Even if Fei Qiu wanted to throw away this hot potato, he was powerless.
"It's still the same thing. This has nothing to do with me.”
"But…"
Without waiting for Nick Fury to say anything, Khal interrupted him, his eyes slightly cold,""There are no buts! First of all, I'm just a warrior. I don't know much about gamma-rays. I can't do anything about finding space gems. Second, I didn't choose to live on Earth to clean up after you humans.”
His tone was slightly more serious. This was the first time Khal had admitted his identity as an alien.
Nick Fury was silent. After a long time, he raised his head and asked,""Mr. Aiur, if... I mean if the alien army really descended on Earth, would you choose to stand by and watch or help us?”
"I will choose to take advantage of the situation." Kao said seriously.
"Uh, Mr. El is really humorous…"
Nick Fury looked a little embarrassed, thinking that Khal was joking, so he said awkwardly,""No matter what, you and Miss Kara have lived on Earth for nearly ten years. It's impossible for you to not have any feelings for it…"
"Don't talk about feelings. Talking about feelings hurts money!”
Kao crossed his legs and sneered,"" As the head of a special agent, you should understand that a stable cooperative relationship requires both parties to work together to maintain it. But if you think about it carefully, in the past year, I first stopped Hulk from destroying Manhattan Street, then provided information on Hydra, and then helped you wake up Steve.”
"I didn't repay you in the slightest for these three matters, which can be considered as showing enough kindness.”
" But now, you created a planet-level crisis, and you want to use a few high-class empty words to involve an outsider like me…Nick Fury, do you really think I'm the Virgin Mary called Clark in the comic?”
"Then…what price do you want us to pay in order to help?”
Nick Fury understood the meaning behind Kao's words. Although he smiled bitterly, he was secretly relieved.
Just like what Kao had said, blindly giving was not only unfair to the almsgiver, but also a great pressure to the almsgiver.
'A great kindness is as great as enmity' was definitely not just empty talk!
It was true that he still had some hidden cards in his hands. For example, the Beeper left by Captain Marvel could summon this god-level super soldier back to protect Earth.
However, distant water could not put out a nearby fire. Although the Beeper could transmit information across more than half of the Milky Way, what if Captain Marvel was too far away and could not catch up? Who knows, after the alien army had completely occupied Earth, they might still be on their way back.
It was precisely because of this that he was so eager to plead for the Khal's support, even if it meant paying a huge price!
"To be honest, there aren't many things on Earth that I'm interested in. But just like you said, we've lived on this planet for many years and have developed some feelings for each other.”
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Aiur. I just don't know what your request is..."
Nick Fury first thanked him humbly, then asked tentatively.
"Don't worry, what I want is actually very simple.”
As he smiled, the corner of Kao's mouth gradually curved into a meaningful arc.

This thing might take some time to appear, so there's no need to guess.
Finally, the tickets will be available in about five or six days. I hope everyone will support me!
