Li Yue had only wanted to observe the Cloak of Levitation closer, but it seem to have its own mind and flew towards Li Yue, surprising him!
He was only curious about the Cloak of Levitation! He didn't want it for himself!
Li Yue felt that the Cloak didn't just flew around randomly, but it wanted to recognize him as its master!
"If I take this cloak away now, what will happen to Doctor Strange in the future?" Li Yue thought about how Doctor Strange would lose his cloak. He could not bear to take away Doctor Strange's lover!
Most importantly, this cloak wouldn't be much help for him!
He could already fly, in high speed at that! Outside its flight ability, the Cloak of Levitation also possessed independent thought, but it was of no use for him! Therefore, Li Yue decided to leave the cloak for the future Doctor Strange!
It would be unethical for him to steal his disciple's "wife!"
"Cough, anyway, I'm not your master! You will find him in about five years!"
Li Yue took a step back and said to the Cloak of Levitation, not caring if it can understand or not!
Just like magic, the Cloak seemed to understand Li Yue and stopped pursuing him. However, it kept hesitantly swaying in its glass case!
It was like a child facing the temptation of a stranger's candy, not knowing what he should do! "Dammit! I should just hurry up and escape!"
The human-like reaction of the cloak made Li Yue imagine a pitiful and tearful chubby face on it!
Li Yue felt speechless. Why does he feel like he had abandoned a kid in the rain? However, Li Yue hardened his heart and resolutely turned around and leave!
The Cloak of Levitation was still swaying when it saw Li Yue walking away. It raised one of its corner and waved at Li Yue's back!
"Fuck, you don't even have a face, how are you making such an expression!"
Li Yue felt the movement through his sixth sense, and he felt speechless, but he didn't stop and instead sped up his steps!
As Li Yue disappeared to the other room, the cloak dejectedly put down its corner and its entire form drooped, as if it was a depressed dog!
It then slowly turned around and floated to a coat hanger on the wall, hanging himself on it! In an instant, it became inanimate cloak, as if it was just a trick and illusion!
...
"Ugh, it's not that I don't want to be your master, but you could only shine beside Doctor Strange! You can't do anything by my side!"
Li Yue sighed helplessly in the distance after his sixth sense detected that the Cloak of Levitation had returned to the hanger!
It was just a small incident, but Li Yue no longer took the magic tools lightly!
He carefully looked around the Sanctum and examined every corners!
Seeing means believing. If one carefully inspected the Sanctum, they would realize that it was befitting its status as one of the Three Great Sanctum!
It was an old European-style mansion, with antique architecture, and flickering candle lights. It felt both old and timeless!
The aged construction gave people a sense of solemnity!
The New York Sanctum was located in the middle of New York City, in the middle of all the skyscrapers and traffic! If it didn't have the cloaking magic, it would've been quite the attraction!
Li Yue had decided that he would stay here for the time being, but he didn't forget to return to Kamar-Taj to fetch his favorite tea leaves!
He didn't know when exactly Loki would open the portal and summon the Chitauri army: he only knew that it would be within the next few days!
At least the wait won't be too long!
...
Li Yue's senses was obviously accurate. Contrary to his own comfortable position, the director of SHIELD Nick Fury was filled with anxiety!
The Tesseract had been stolen from right under his nose by Loki. Moreover, Loki possessed extraordinary abilities to turn people to his sides by using the glowing scepter!
That was how Dr. Selvig and Agent Barton was taken away by the God of Mischief! Moreover, since Loki had demonstrated ability to open a portal through the Tesseract, so he obviously knew more about the Tesseract than SHIELD!
Nick Fury had no idea why Loki had seized the Tesseract, but he knows it couldn't be anything good! It might even endanger the safety of Earth itself!
The day after the heist of the Cube and after continuous failure for SHIELD to track it down, Nick Fury brought the Avengers Project back on the table for the World Safety Council!
...
"Director, what should we do next?"
Hill asked Nick Fury with a serious expression on her face.
Let's bring the Captain and Natasha in for now! Send Coulson to enlist Stark, and bring Dr. Bruce Banner with him while he's at it!
"They could bring us unexpected variables!"
Nick Fury gave his command after pondering for a while. He had yet to grasp the full picture, but he had a hunch about what Tony Stark and the others were doing!
But he also had a premonition that the coming incident would expose their secrets, and it would be one that shock the entire world!
...
Time slowly passed. It had been nearly two days since Tesseract had been taken away by Loki!
The current situation followed similar plot to the original. Nick Fury's summon brought the Captain and Natasha to the flying aircraft carrier! But unlike the original plot, they didn't come with Doctor Banner!
Coulson had already gone to speak with Tony Stark, so they should arrive very soon! And they would bring Dr. Banner along!
"Let's vanish!"
With Nick Fury's order, the crystallization of SHIELD's cutting edge technology, the immense helicarrier slowly rose from the sea into the sky, before activating the stealth mode, achieving true optical invisibility!
SHIELD then received news that Loki had reappeared in Germany!
And his current goal was to secure special material that Dr, Selvig needed!
Nick Fury was still short of manpower, so he had no choice but to send Natasha and Captain America to intervene. It would be best if they can apprehend Loki!
But Nick Fury doubted that it would be so easy!
While Natasha was sortieing the Quinjet to fly Captain America to Loki's location in Germany, six people were gathered to discuss something in the Stark Building!
