People in Marvel: Too many S-level talents to use up Chapter 136

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat subdued.

Jane’s constant stuffing of food into her mouth made it hard to believe she was in a good mood.

Erik and the intern stared blankly at the food on the table.

“He’ll be back.”

As the other woman present, Darcy offered comfort to Jane.

But the words didn’t seem to hold much conviction; it had been too long since Thor’s last return.

“It’s just, this time…”

Darcy tried to make amends, but Jane, seemingly open-minded, said, “He only left for two days this time, didn’t he?”

Erik felt he should say something, otherwise, Darcy facing this atmosphere alone would be too pathetic. “Did he say anything before he left?”

“Yes, he has to explain the situation to his father, and it seems he committed treason… to come here.”

Erik immediately regretted asking that question; Darcy could have comforted Jane on her own.

The atmosphere grew even more awkward.

Thor was gone.

He had returned to Asgard with the Aether.

Odin commanded the Asgardian warriors to deliver the Aether to the Elder of the Universe, the Collector—Taneleer Tivan.

He believed that having two Infinity Stones in Asgard would bring endless trouble to the realm, so he decided to entrust the Reality Stone to the neutral Collector for safekeeping.

As it turned out, this decision was not wise.

Thor had earned the merit of saving the Nine Realms, and by rights, inheriting the throne would have been a natural progression, but he refused.

Through several unusual experiences, Thor realized he was not a suitable king.

He was a capable general, but not a strategist.

He could fight on the battlefield, but to lead from behind the scenes of a major power—spare him.

So, he vowed before Odin to fight to protect the Nine Realms for the rest of his life but consistently refused to inherit the throne.

Reluctantly, Odin accepted Thor’s decision and granted him freedom, no longer interfering with his relationship with the Earth woman.

“Thank you, Father…”

Seeing Odin no longer meddling in his romantic life, a weight lifted from Thor’s heart.

Little did he know, after Thor left the throne room, a green light flashed.

Loki, holding his scepter, sat on Odin’s throne—the Odin from moments ago was Loki in disguise.

He had impersonated Odin to let Thor go, so he could continue to rule Asgard as Odin. Therefore:

“It is I who should thank you, brother…”

Loki also spoke his true feelings to Thor’s retreating back.

Where had Su Ming, who always clamored about wanting to go to Asgard, gone?

Two days ago, at a bar.

“Brother, thanks to you, we were able to deal with Malekith this time. Didn’t you want to come back to Asgard with me?

This time, you must come back to Asgard with me to meet Father; he’ll surely give you a generous reward!

I’ll also introduce you to a bunch of Asgardian warrior buddies; they’re my best brothers~”

The recovered Thor had one arm around Su Ming’s shoulder and the other raising a pint glass.

He loudly suggested that Su Ming accompany him back to Asgard.

Hearing Thor’s suggestion, Su Ming secretly pouted:

“You don’t know, but I do, don’t I? The one on the throne right now isn’t your dad, but your troublesome brother…”

Going to Asgard with Thor at this moment wouldn’t bring any benefits.

Loki might even think he was helping Thor seize the throne.

It would inevitably lead to more schemes, which was really unnecessary.

When Ragnarok comes, the entire Asgard will be mine to roam, won’t it?

Do I still need your paltry rewards?

Thinking of this, Su Ming clinked glasses with Thor, chugging the large pint of beer, foam still clinging to his lips:

“Ah—burp!”

“I won’t go this time, but definitely next time~”

Seeing Su Ming’s heroic chug, Thor, not to be outdone, also drained his glass of beer, burping and clamoring for another.

Inside the booth, Erik, at some point, had lost his pants again.

He was currently holding the intern’s hand, explaining the working principles of spatial instruments to him.

The intern’s eyes remained on Darcy, wanting to go to her, yet also greatly interested in what Erik was explaining.

He was clearly conflicted.

Meanwhile, Darcy had joined Su Ming and Thor’s drinking party, acting like a true man, raising a glass and speaking freely, a stark contrast to her usual quiet demeanor.

Jane Foster, on the other hand, watched Thor with passionate eyes. This God of Thunder, who had appeared in her bedtime stories since childhood, was her idol even when she was young.

She never expected to have the chance to meet him up close when she grew up, or even become Thor’s girlfriend—it was simply too dreamy.

Despite Thor being the God of Thunder and possessing a divine physique, he seemed to be one of the gods who couldn’t hold his liquor well.

Even with the special physique bonus, Thor got drunk.

With Jane’s help, he staggered back to Jane’s place.

Of course, it was through a portal opened by Su Ming.

If Jane’s small frame had to carry Thor’s large build for several blocks, neither of them would have made it.

And Darcy, once properly inebriated, pulled the intern away from Erik and headed for the hotel across the street.

Erik Selvig, after refusing Su Ming’s kind offer to open a portal for him to go home, had a few beers and once again let loose, performing a moonlight streaking session.

He reportedly had new research ideas that required a “free” state to provide broader insights.

Su Ming only learned about this the next day when he saw Erik making headlines again.

After bidding farewell to Erik, Su Ming walked to a dark corner on the street, opened a portal, and went straight to the base.

A mere few dozen bottles of alcohol posed no pressure to his current physique; he didn’t even need to use the restroom.

So, when he returned to the base at midnight, Su Ming was still refreshed.

“The great hero has decided to come back?”

Alisa, dressed in a light nightgown, was on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV. Seeing Su Ming appear directly in front of her, and smelling the alcohol, she rolled her eyes at him.

In response, Su Ming gave a mysterious smile, pulled a box from behind him, and gently placed it in Alisa’s hand.

He turned and walked towards the living room, taking off his shirt as he went, preparing to change into loungewear.

“Ah! Mr. Silver Lord! You’re back…”

“Who?”

Su Ming’s spider-sense hadn’t given any warning, and the sudden voice by his ear startled him.

Who else could be here at this time?

A small, dark, chubby figure slid over on a gaming chair.

It was Ned Leeds.

The chubby boy looked at Su Ming’s muscular upper body with intense envy.

“Sir, how do you work out your body? Can you teach me?”

Su Ming first gave Ned a polite smile, then looked at Alisa on the sofa, his eyes asking:

“When did this little guy come? Who let him in?”

Alisa, still examining the box and unable to find the switch, was incredibly curious but understood Su Ming’s gaze. She slipped on her slippers and casually walked over:

“Of course, our Scarlet Silver Lord let him come~ And he’s been here all day…”

“I let him come?”

Su Ming was a bit bewildered by this, what was going on?

As Alisa explained, Su Ming slowly understood why Ned was there.

It turned out that Ned had contacted Alisa that morning, wanting to come over and play, but Alisa was busy helping Su Ming track Jane’s phone signal.

She also had to help Su Ming monitor changes in the military and other regions, so she was a bit overwhelmed.

It just so happened that the little guy came over and lent her a hand.

Ned’s talent with computers was not to be underestimated; although he hadn’t used many things before, he grasped them instantly, gradually freeing Alisa up.

Alisa was happy to be idle, and eventually, it even evolved into Alisa watching TV and sleeping while Ned was fully responsible for providing technical support to Su Ming.

It was the little chubby boy who promptly discovered the restoration of Jane’s phone signal.

“Boss, this kid isn’t bad.”

Alisa, uncharacteristically, didn’t dislike Ned.

As the few of them walked into the computer area, the motion-sensor lights gradually came on.

A chaotic scene appeared before them, and Alisa’s mouth twitched:

“Oh~ God, I still don’t like this guy…”
