"My people have all gone through professional training, but in front of you, they turned into nothing but clowns. That really makes me depressed."
Looking at the handsome man sitting in front of him, looking lost and broken, agent Coulson tried to use a heart to heart approach to interrogate the information he wanted.
In Coulson's impression, only people who had gone through special systematic training could have skills like this.
He wanted to know which faction this man of unknown origin actually belonged to.
'China?'
'Or Afganistan?'
But judging from this man's behavior, Agent Coulson was more inclined to think Thor was a mercenary.
'Who is his employer?'
'South Africa, or somewhere else.'
"Who are you?", Agent Coulson finally asked a question that Thor could understand.
But at this moment Thor clearly had no mood to chat with another man. He stared straight at Coulson and did not open his mouth even until he was called away by a phone call.
"It does not matter if you do not talk. We will find out… this is what we do…"
.
.
.
The scene flashed, and Loki in a dark green trench coat appeared in front of Thor, making Thor's spirit jolt awake.
"I want you to tell Father…"
"Father is already dead."
Thor had wanted Loki to pass a message to their father Odin for him, but Loki's low voice said something he could not believe.
"What?", Staring at Loki with empty eyes, Thor stood there stunned.
"You were banished from the heavens, war was about to break out, and these things were too much for him to bear," Loki spoke nonsense with a straight face.
Odin had only fallen into deep sleep and had not died, but Loki wanted to prove the legitimacy of inheriting the throne in front of Thor.
Putting on a tea smelling act, he added how he had spoken up for Thor in front of Odin.
But Thor could not lift Mjolnir now, so only Loki could inherit the throne.
The honest Thor believed Loki's words.
He believed his father king had already passed away. Grieving tears fell from the corners of his eyes as he raised his azure eyes to look at Loki and pleaded, "Can you let me go home and take a look?"
Thinking of his father's face and smile, Thor felt as if his heart were being cut by knives.
Was it really himself, this unfilial son, who had indirectly caused his father's death?
"Exiling you from the divine realm was one of Jotunheim's conditions for a ceasefire," Loki stated coldly.
Thor tried to ask if there was any other way. He only wanted to go home and see his father one last time. It was clearly such a simple request.
But as Loki continued, Thor's head began to buzz.
"And… Mother, she also does not allow you to return."
Loki was talking pure nonsense.
But Thor sadly thought that his mother must be blaming his father's death on him. That… was only normal…
When he heard Loki's fake apology, only then did Thor realize just how big of a disaster he had caused. He spoke sincerely, "No… the one who should apologize is me… Thank you for coming to see me, thank you…"
"Take care."
With a heavy expression, Loki turned and left. With his back to Thor, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Very obviously, he had fooled Thor with clever lies.
"Goodbye…"
Thor softly bid farewell to his brother.
At this time Agent Coulson returned to Thor's side again, "Goodbye? I just got here."

At the hammer pit—
The staff were still dutifully collecting all kinds of information about the hammer.
A somewhat thin hand brushed across the hammer's handle. It was Loki.
Dressed in casual clothes, Loki appeared in front of Mjolnir, invisible to everyone else.
Loki reached out with one hand to grab the hammer's handle. With force, the hammer did not move at all.
He tried again, both hands this time, baring his teeth.
After giving up, Loki instinctively looked up at the sky and thought, "What kind of trick did that old guy use, how come nobody can lift this piece of crap."
Then he thought about it again. He had already ascended the throne.
Whether he could lift the hammer, or who could lift it, had a hammer of a thing to do with him.
With a wicked smile, he disappeared from the spot.
"Mr. Silver Duke, I do not understand why you made that bet with him," Coulson shifted his gaze from his busy subordinates and looked at Corin who was drinking coffee.
'What kind of crap is this, bitter as hell… tastes awful!'
Corin scraped his tongue with his teeth, casually put the coffee cup aside, and looked at the serious to the point of being stiff Agent Coulson.
"What if I said, that hammer was his to begin with?"
"Impossible!"
Agent Coulson immediately rejected Corin's statement.
"That is only Mr. Silver Duke's guess."
Because just now, an astrophysicist he knew, Erik Selvig, had already taken the man away.
The identity system showed that the blond giant was a doctor named Donald Blake.
According to Erik, he later switched to studying physics. Although their story was full of holes, that guy had not done anything too excessive other than barging into the base and knocking down more than a dozen of his men.
So Coulson let Thor go like that.
Of course, he had people secretly follow him.
After listening to Coulson's account, Corin knew that this senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agent could not possibly be fooled so easily by some researcher.
He also realized that Coulson did not believe his words at all.
He slightly shook his head, did not bother explaining further, and went to the storage room to look for tea leaves.
———
The Warriors Three and Sif arrived at Puente Antiguo. Wearing Asgardian battle armor and holding their weapons, they walked down the street, drawing the attention of all passersby.
They also drew the attention of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that Coulson had assigned to keep an eye on Thor.
"Are they holding a costume party?"
"Report to headquarters."
"Headquarters, headquarters, we have found Princess Xena, Jackie Chan, and Robin Hood…"
———
In the diner—
After further understanding, Jane had basically come to believe that Thor was indeed Odin's son, the famous God of Thunder, Thor.
But in Erik's eyes, this was clearly just crazy talk caused by Jane's love brain.
"We found you."
At this moment, the glass door of the diner was banged on loudly.
The four warriors appeared in front of them.
Crack!
Even though Jane had basically believed that Thor was the God of Thunder, seeing this scene still made her so shocked that she dropped and shattered her coffee cup.
After a round of enthusiastic greetings, the four warriors proposed taking Thor home.
"I must accept permanent exile, because my father died because of me."
This made the warriors look at each other in confusion.
"Thor, your father, the king, is still alive."
This news deeply shocked Thor, because when Loki had delivered the message to him before, he had been so sorrowful, so real.
Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and thunderclouds flickered with electricity, gathering into a swirling vortex.
This attracted the attention of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents led by Coulson who were studying the ground totems.
And Corin felt that the time should be just about right. He had been waiting not far from Thor all along.
Seeing the change in the sky, he revealed a faint smile.
The abnormality in the sky alarmed the entire town. Looking at that strange whirlwind from afar, Darcy said with a blank face, "Is someone else coming again?"
Yellow sand blew past as a tall metallic figure descended onto the ground. Asgard's heavyweight weapon, the Destroyer, had arrived.
"Is that Iron Man?"
"I don't know."
Agent Coulson took a loudspeaker and issued the routine warning:
"Hello! You are using unlicensed weapon equipment. Please identify yourself."
The Destroyer seemed to cooperate and stopped its steps.
"All done."
With a smile on his face, Agent Coulson thought the warning had worked.
But as the facial metal plates fell away, crimson energy gradually filled the steel giant's entire body.
A golden beam of energy shot out from the giant's face.
The vehicles that were hit instantly exploded into the air and turned into fragments.
Realizing something was wrong, Thor immediately began organizing people to evacuate, but the powerful Destroyer followed right after them.
The violent and rapid energy blasts instantly blew through the storefronts along the street, igniting raging flames.
The four warriors gripped their weapons and walked toward the Destroyer.
