Chapter 194 The Adventures of Thor (Part 2)
Daredevil Matt received Peter and Thor in his cabin. Thor asked Peter in surprise: "He can't see?"
"Yes, Matt can't see, but it doesn't really matter."
"But you told me that he is a hero who fights criminals. How can he fight criminals like this?"
"Who says a blind man can't fight criminals?" Matt hit Thor with his cane so fast that Thor didn't have time to dodge.
Thor was really surprised. He said, "Can you see where I am? And I'm so fast?"
But Peter asked Thor in return, "Are there no disabled people in Asgard?"
"Of course not. We are gods, blessed by the world tree, and we are born warriors, but..." Thor thought for a while and said, "If you have to say, those under 300 are considered children and need to be taken care of."
"The rest of the people are soldiers?" Peter asked in surprise, "Except for the children, they are all warriors. Isn't this too exaggerated?"
Thor waved his hand and said proudly, "Asgard is the most warlike race in the universe, so we can protect the nine kingdoms, but it's not that exaggerated. We also have some auxiliary soldiers, such as blacksmiths, stonemasons, and of course, some magicians. They are not as strong as warriors and usually stay in the rear, but they are much stronger than the earthlings. "
"But this is quite reasonable." Thor suddenly changed his perspective and said: "If the earthlings are as strong as the Asgardians, who else in the entire universe can deal with you? With your population and reproduction rate, if everyone has the power of Asgardian warriors, you would have dominated the universe long ago."
Then he touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "My father once told me that the short lifespan of humans is both a disadvantage and an advantage, and the Asgardians seem to have some problems because of their long lifespan, but I didn't understand..."
At this time, Matt came over with three cups of coffee, and the three of them sat around the table in Matt's cabin. Matt took out a map and spread it on the table, took a sip After coffee, he said, "A few days ago, Erica told me that the Hand had made another move, and this time it seemed to be a big move, and I just needed help."
"No problem, I can help, but it has to be done before the end of the month, and I have to travel to Hollywood with Gwen."
Matt and Thor looked at Peter together, and Peter glared at them and said, "What? This is our first trip, I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"
Thor shook his head and said, "If you were my subordinate, I would let you run three laps around Asgard to wake up."
Matt knocked on the table and said, "Before we strike the Hand, we must first figure out what they are going to do."
"What else can we do? Didn't you say before? All their strategic arrangements are to find that dragon bone."
"But it's a bit strange. According to the information Erica and I have gathered, the Hand seems to have fallen out with Kingpin recently, but the specific reason is still unclear. I plan to start from this point to investigate the ultimate goal of the Hand and stop their evil plan."
"Okay, what should we do first?"
"Do you know that Bullseye has been released?"
"What? How long has he been in there?" Peter said in surprise: "Last time he was not..."
"As long as Kingpin is willing to spend money to rescue him, it is not surprising that Bullseye can get away with the crime. The strange thing is why Kingpin wants to rescue him at this time. Is Kingpin really going to go to war with the Hand?"
"What are you talking about?" Thor asked very puzzled: "And why did I get involved? What does this have to do with me?"
"Then what else can you do?" After that, Peter said to Matt: "He is also a helper. At least I can be sure that he is not Kingpin's spy."
"Hey, did you get my consent? I didn't plan to participate..."
"Well, although it looks a bit silly, it's better than nothing."
"How can you ignore..."
Two hours later, Peter and Thor squatted at the door of a bar, both of them stretched their necks to look inside. Peter turned to Thor and said, "You go in first and make some noise, I'll block people from behind."
Thor snorted coldly and said, "How dare you say that Asgard's most heroic warriors are useless? Isn't it just a tavern riot? I know it!"
As he said that, he swaggered into the bar. The security guard at the door looked at him, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Who are you? Do you have an invitation?"
"Who am I? You haven't seen me before? "
Thor's tone was so confident that the security guard was stunned.
He looked Thor from head to toe again. It must be said that Thor's temperament perfectly blended into Hell's Kitchen. He was tall, with blond hair and a full beard. He had a tough temperament on the battlefield. Hearing his magical accent, the security guard thought he was a gangster boss from Texas and didn't dare to stop him for a while.
He walked in so swaggeringly and just passed by the bar. He bumped into someone. Thor shouted: "Don't you have eyes? Damn..."
"Hey, Texan! You bumped into me first!"
The two had an argument, which soon turned into a fight. Peter took Pikachu to the back door, knocked out a security guard at the back door, and then sneaked in. Peter looked up and looked around at the wires around him, and found the switch along the wires. Pikachu's body flashed with electricity, and the whole bar lost power instantly, becoming pitch black.
Peter, relying on his agility and speed, rushed in during the chaos, knocked a man unconscious quickly, and dragged him out. After a while, Thor also came out and said, "You are looking for him? Is he the one you are talking about... Bullseye?"
"No, he is just a little brother of Bullseye."
"Why go through so much trouble? Can't we just rush in and knock them all down?"
"That won't work. We can't alarm them."
As he said that, Peter saw that Matt's car had arrived to pick them up, and he said to Thor, "Come and help, get him in the car."
"I thought you were a warrior who dared to face the enemy head-on, but I really misjudged you." Thor said as he lifted the man's legs, and the two of them stuffed the man into Matt's car.
"To be honest, I think your plan is a bit long-winded. Anyway, no matter what the so-called Hand wants to do, we can just kill them all, right?"
"Then the question is..." Matt asked Thor: "Where is the Hand?"
"This..."
"This is not Asgard, Peter said to Thor. "You are not a prince now, and neither are we. It's not like someone will send information to our desks just by waving our hands. Everything depends on ourselves."
"In the past, my brother Loki was in charge of these things. I don't know how he did it, but he always got the right information."
"What if his information is wrong one day?"
"He is the god of fraud. There is nothing he can't investigate."
"The god of fraud? What if he deceives you?" Peter looked at Thor, and Thor choked, then said: "Why would he lie to me? We are brothers, and what's the benefit of him lying to me? If we lose the battle, we will both be scolded when we go back. "
Matt shook his head and said, "I thought Peter was childish enough."
"Hey, don't say that. I've been working hard to change, and I think I've made a lot of progress recently. I can deal with the target person without your help."
"I play these childish games with you, and you still think I'm childish? I'm the prince of Asgard!"
"I have led countless armies to fight in the universe, but now you want me to fight with gangsters on a small street in the courtyard!"
"The most important thing is that I haven't kicked it yet."
Thor stared at Peter, and Peter also looked at him, then stretched out his hand and poked him next to his face. Thor covered his face and screamed "Ah".
He leaned close to the car window and looked at his cheek, and found that he had been punched there, leaving a bruise.
"You damn earthlings!!!"
But Thor's troubles were far from over. After dark, Peter asked him, "Where do you live? I'll take you back."
"How do I know where I live? The person who took me out before didn't tell me where to go."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll make a call." Peter picked up the phone and called Steve, but Steve's phone was unreachable, so Peter could only call Nick.
Thor was impatient, he said: "Don't let me see that black bald man again, I hate him, don't treat me like a child, aren't there a lot of houses here, I can find a place to live by myself, bye!"
"But do you have money? Renting a house on Earth costs money."
"It's also necessary in Asgard, I touched some in the bar, this should be the currency of you humans, right?" Thor took out a few banknotes from his pocket, Peter glanced at them, he said: "This money is not enough to rent a house, I'll lend it to you first..."
"I don't need to borrow money from a kid like you, I can find a job by myself, don't think I don't know anything, the order in Asgard is much better than here. "
After that, Thor waved at him and left.
What he said was true. In fact, the social structure of Asgard was very similar to that of Earth. There were also taverns, shops, hotels, etc., and there would be Asgardians working there. Although Thor was generally a consumer, and the kind of big customer who spent money lavishly and spent every day in wine and women, he also knew the process of working, making money, and finding a house.
But knowing alone was not enough. Surviving on Earth was still much more difficult than Thor imagined.
Although Nick helped him to reissue his ID, that is, his driver's license, Thor could neither drive nor take the bus, so he could only walk to find a job.
It happened that the place where he and Peter separated was in Hell's Kitchen. Where was there any decent job here? He asked all the shops on a street, and most of the shop owners pointed guns at him and told him to get out before he even entered the door, obviously thinking he was a gangster who was coming in to rob.
After much difficulty, he found a restaurant that had a job and was willing to hire him, but Thor had no idea about the modern catering equipment and had never done similar work. After he broke several plates with his clumsy hands, the boss kicked him out.
So, the prince of Asgard, the future master of the nine kingdoms, slept on the street on the first day of his independent life on Earth.
Fortunately, Thor was different from most princes. He was not hypocritical. After all, it was common to sleep in the open air and eat one meal a day during the war. If the first day didn't work, he would try again the next day.
After hitting a wall for several days in a row, Thor finally got a little idea of the Hell's Kitchen. With his strong appearance, he found a job as a porter in a warehouse.
This job was paid weekly, so Thor got his first salary very quickly. He was almost in tears. The successive setbacks not only dealt him a mental blow, but also made him collapse in the difficulties of life. Without divine power and money, he could only go to work on an empty stomach, sleep on a bench every day, and rely on his righteousness to keep warm. If he was not an Asgardian, he would have starved to death.
Fortunately, after getting his first salary, Thor could finally find a house to live in.
He also found that Hell's Kitchen was not a good place. It was difficult for outsiders to integrate here, so he walked a little further and ran to the edge of Hell's Kitchen, renting an old apartment in a cheap apartment with very cheap rent as a residence.
On the first day of moving in, Thor found that a new neighbor had moved in next door.
He didn't care at first, but on the first night, the new neighbor made a lot of noise, hammering the wall and smashing the floor, which made Thor unable to sleep well all night.
The next day, the situation remained the same, with no improvement. On the morning of the third day, Thor had to visit his new neighbor and ask him what happened.
"Hello, I'm your neighbor Thor. You..."
The man who opened the door for him looked very haggard. Just as Thor was about to continue, he saw him twitch, then suddenly covered his mouth and ran to the sink to vomit.
"Uh... are you okay?" Thor looked in and asked him.
The man staggered back, holding the door frame and said:
"I'm fine... Hello, my name is Eddie, Eddie Brock."
