"I'm hungry."
Jane looked speechlessly at Thor, who was already complaining of hunger the moment he woke up. She patted her head and asked, "What's your name? Why were you in the storm?"
Though Thor was a bit of a simpleton, he still had some sense. Moreover, Thor had a good impression of the girl named Jane, so he didn't immediately resort to force.
"I'm hungry. I won't have the strength to answer your questions until I've eaten my fill," Thor said, then flashed a radiant smile.
Jane took a deep breath, raised her index finger, and shook it. "You win."
Smack!
Thor slammed the cup to the ground and yelled,
"Another one!"
"What are you doing?" Jane immediately freaked out.
Daisy's expression wasn't great either. Being gawked at like a monkey by every customer in the restaurant wasn't a pleasant experience.
And the landlady's terrifying gaze had also turned their way, making them feel like they were being watched.
"Put this cup on my tab. Also, I'm renting out the place for today."
Zedd pushed open the restaurant door and walked in, dropping several tens of thousands of old US dollars on the landlady's table. Then, he turned and walked toward Thor's table, pulled out a chair, and sat down without any hesitation.
The landlady, knowing what to do, apologized to the other customers, greeted them, and gave out discount coupons, politely asking them to leave the restaurant. At the same time, she instructed the chef to prepare a feast.
Daisy's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the handsome man before her, his hair swept back with a small, curly fringe. Her infatuation was a tidal wave, unstoppable.
"Hello, I'm Daisy. What's your name?" Daisy struck a pose and took the initiative.
Zedd couldn't help but tease, "Alright, Max. I'm Oleg. But you can call me Zedd."
"My name is Daisy, not Max!" Daisy puffed out her cheeks in annoyance.
Jane wasn't the type to be swayed by a handsome face like Daisy. She remained wary of Zedd's sudden appearance, and asked calmly, "Mr. Zedd, what do you want? Why did you stay behind after everyone else left?"
"For him." Zedd turned his head toward Thor.
Thor, who was busy eating, was completely bewildered, not understanding why they were all looking at him.
Zedd snapped his fingers, and waiters brought out plate after plate of roasted meat, the aroma making everyone's mouth water.
"Please enjoy, Prince of a foreign land. This is a banquet I've prepared for you." Zedd gestured with his hand, inviting him.
Thor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he burst out laughing:
"Finally, someone who knows! There are still people in Midgard who recognize Thor, the God of Thunder. Thank you for your generosity, King of Midgard."
Thor raised his glass to give thanks, then eagerly began to eat heartily.
Although the food on Earth was also good, Thor still preferred the roasted meat from the banquets in Asgard, but the roasted meat on Earth would do.
Thor grabbed the roasted meat with both hands and tore into it fiercely, as if he were fighting a powerful enemy. This way of eating left Jane and Daisy stunned, and the conversation between Zedd and Thor made the two of them completely baffled.
Daisy leaned in close to Jane and whispered, "Do you think they're in the same ward? Otherwise, how could they be so in sync?"
Jane was still replaying their conversation, hoping to find some useful clues. After all, it was a confirmed fact that Thor had appeared in the storm.
Dr. Eric returned from the restroom to find that all the other diners had left, and his seat was taken.
Eric patted Jane on the shoulder. "What's going on?"
"This Mr. Zedd knows Thor, but it seems like they're both a little... you know..." Daisy answered Eric's question first.
Eric immediately understood what Daisy meant and instantly got a headache. One Thor was troublesome enough; now there was another one.
Although Eric and Daisy lowered their voices, Thor still heard their conversation.
Thor looked up at Zedd with a puzzled expression.
"Zedd, didn't you say you were the King of Midgard? Why don't they recognize you?"
Zedd crossed his legs and said with a casual air, "I am a demon king, not a king. I don't govern this world; I just watch them from above."
Jane and the other two couldn't help but twitch their eyes, not believing a word Zedd said. Jane, looking utterly speechless, tapped her notebook and said to the two of them, "Can you two communicate differently? Try using science, something we can understand."
Daisy couldn't help but retort, "A demon king from above? Gods and demons eating at the same table? Looks like you're really out of it."
Eric didn't say anything, but the word "worried" was written all over his face.
"Your Midgardian internal affairs are truly strange," Thor shook his head. "By the way, can you help me with something?"
"Find your hammer?" Zedd picked up a knife and began to cut the roasted meat.
Thor was very excited, "Yes, exactly!"
"Fifty kilometers west, that's where your hammer landed." Zedd started eating the roasted meat.
After Thor heard this, he immediately stood up, picked up his glass, and drank it all in one go:
"Thank you for your help, King of Midgard. I, Thor Odinson, son of Odin, express my gratitude to you."
After saying this, Thor rushed out, not wanting to wait a moment longer.
Jane immediately chased after them, wanting to go along, but Eric stopped her. "Jane! Calm down. We're scientists, not adventurers. They're all delusional! I can't let you risk yourself!"
Eric's stern words calmed Jane down considerably. Thor, standing to the side, also didn't want to involve Jane in the danger. After saying goodbye to Jane, he set off alone.
Jane stood at the crossroads, watching Thor disappear around the corner, her heart feeling somewhat empty.
Suddenly, a passing car caught Jane's attention. She pointed at the car and shouted,
"Damn it! That's our stuff!"
The three of them immediately ran back to their lodgings, trying to stop those guys from stealing their scientific equipment.
Coulson stepped forward and blocked their path. "I'm sorry, we are S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Your data has been requisitioned."
"Requisitioned? You're clearly just robbing us! This is the culmination of years of my hard work!" Jane was already furious.
Coulson still had his usual affable demeanor.
"I'm sorry, this is all for the stability of the world. Please trust us, Miss Foster. We're the good guys."
Jane yelled at Coulson,
"We are too!"
Coulson remained unmoved and still ordered all the scientific equipment and data to be taken away, leaving only a check as compensation.
But Jane obviously valued her research results more, and this check was worthless compared to her hard work.
Eric patted Jane on the back and comforted her,
"Alright, let's just leave it at that. I used to know a scientist who researched gamma rays, and he went missing after S.H.I.E.L.D. came knocking. We can't fight S.H.I.E.L.D. Don't think about it anymore."
But Jane wasn't one to give up easily.
Jane, driving her car, was preparing to go back to S.H.I.E.L.D. to get the research data. However, she encountered Thor, who was looking for his horse, on the road. The two hit it off and embarked on a path that was destined for them to walk together.
Coulson, carrying Jane's research data, was rushing towards the crash site of Mjolnir. On the car, Coulson connected with May's signal. "May, I've recovered the data. Are you on your way?"
May's voice sounded from the speaker:
"Coulson, I can't leave here. An uninvited guest has also come to New Mexico."
"Who?"
"Zedd Oleg."
"What?"
"And he just contacted Dr. Eric and the others. I'm going to investigate."
"Be careful, May."
"Don't worry."
After Thor and Jane left the restaurant, Zedd called Skye and the others in. This time, only Skye, Lilith, and Woz came with Zedd.
Shin didn't like to show his face in front of outsiders, so he didn't come along. Also, someone needed to stay home to prevent Dan Kuroto and Professor Lingma from fighting.
After Skye, Lilith, and Woz sat down, the four of them began to enjoy the food.
"Ugh, are we just waiting here?" Skye asked, still munching on a chicken leg.
"Yeah, eat up. It's not our turn yet. We'll wait here and conserve our strength."
With no outsiders around, Zedd ate with gusto, a Coke in his left hand and a barbecue skewer in his right – pure bliss! He figured he'd eat a lot of barbecue at noon so he wouldn't have to eat any at night.
Skye and the others knew Zedd's Amazonian body required a large intake of food, so they didn't pay much attention to his ravenous eating. The others, however, weren't so calm.
May walked in and saw Zedd with his mouth wide open, tearing into the barbecue like a demon reborn, which sent shivers down her spine.
After calming herself, May spoke as she walked:
"Mr. Zedd, what brings you to New Mexico?"
"Don't play dumb," Zedd grumbled through his teeth before resuming his battle with the barbecue.
May's face showed no emotional fluctuations as she remained calm.
"You know about the hammer? Approaching Dr. Eric was also for their research data?"
Zedd put down his grilled meat and wiped his mouth, then gave May a friendly smile.
"I know everything. The hammer that can't be lifted, the unusual celestial phenomena, I understand it all, but I can't tell you. Don't get any ideas."
"Alright." May turned and sat at another table. "Do you mind if I have lunch?"
Before Zedd could answer, May began ordering. The owner saw that Zedd had booked the place and didn't refuse, so she started serving the dishes.
With May there, Zedd and the others also toned down their conversation, no longer discussing Asgard and instead chatting about everyday matters. Anyway, Zedd and his three companions had nothing to do until evening.
May ate lunch while secretly observing. S.H.I.E.L.D. already knew Skye's identity, so May didn't pay much attention to her.
Lilith's identity information had already been obtained from Blade, but it was worth noting that Lilith could now move in sunlight, and her skin color wasn't the pale white of a vampire.
May guessed that Lilith had become a Daywalker.
As for the last long-haired man holding a book, he should be the Celebration Freak.
