Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Showdown
The banquet was still going on, and the people who had been shocked by Noah's news about the Infinity Stones had calmed down.
Coulson found Tony and discussed some things with him. Mainly because Tony's initial remarks were in line with Nick Fury's Avengers plan, Coulson felt that he could start with Tony Stark and take the first step of the Avengers plan. Nick Fury asked him to come here to do this.
Hawkeye was also listening to the conversation between Coulson and Tony, while Black Widow integrated into the female group at the banquet and built good relationships with them. After all, these women have deep connections with those powerful guys. Pepper took all the women aside and held a female exchange meeting, where they exchanged various interesting stories. Gwen and Lissandra were also among them. After Lissandra became a human, the coldness and mechanicalness of Al turned into human emotions and warmth. She became more eloquent and talked and laughed with the women.
Jane and Daisy were also among them. Daisy was brought here by Jane. She was just an ordinary girl, not as smart as Jane and didn't have a god-like girlfriend. However, she was humorous and carefree. She got along well with Pepper during the conversation and strengthened her relationship with everyone. Pepper also decided to let Jane work directly at Stark Industries after graduation, and reserved a stable job for her. (If Daisy worked at Stark Tower in the Christmas episode 2)
Jane was reluctant when she was pulled over. She wanted to go to Banner and Shavig's scientific exchange group to discuss scientific mysteries with them. But she soon became part of the pleasant atmosphere.
As for Banner and Xavier, after Noah finished talking about the Infinity Stones, the two began to chase Noah to ask about the knowledge about the Infinity Stones. Noah did not feel annoyed, but just paid attention to what was happening on Thor's side while communicating and discussing with the two.
Noah ended his discussion with Thor and Loki only when they returned to the crowd from the corner.
"Banner, Dr. Shavig, I have something to take care of, so I'll excuse myself first." Noah glanced in Thor's direction, then said to the
two people in front of him.
"Okay, then Noah, you go ahead and get busy." Banner nodded, and then went back to the discussion. Noah also took out some research materials about the Cosmic Cube to discuss with them. As for Dr. Shavig, Noah also felt that he could bring him into his scientific team. Let Banner build a good relationship with him first, so that it would be much easier to invite him later.
After saying goodbye to the two, Noah walked towards the two brothers who had just returned.
"Thor." Noah came in front of the Thor brothers and began to say, "I have something to tell you. Let's talk somewhere else."
Thor was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Wait, let me go too." Loki interrupted. He wanted to know what kind of magic potion Noah was trying to feed his brother. He now suspected that his father and brother Thor were both deceived by this human and actually gave him a treasure like the Tesseract.
"You? Sure, then come with us?" Noah raised his eyebrows and agreed to Loki's request.
The three of them came to the balcony. Thor looked at Noah with a flickering look in his eyes. He was a little unhappy about the fact that Noah had lied to him before. However, Noah had helped him before, and his father also agreed to give the Cosmic Cube to Thor. After thinking about it, Thor was not so angry anymore.
Noah walked to the balcony and looked at the street outside. New York was now in the post- war processing stage. Many agency personnel were "cleaning up the battlefield", removing those dangerous items one by one, or taking them back to the institute.
When Thor and Loki also came behind Noah, Noah also turned around.
"Thor, there is something I need to apologize to you for." Noah said. After all, Thor and he were friends. Noah felt that he was a little bit in the wrong in this matter. A small apology was reasonable so that the two would not be embarrassed when they met in the future.
Thor was stunned and immediately knew what he was talking about, but he didn't expect Noah to decide to reveal his cards so quickly.
"The Cosmic Cube has actually been in my
hands all along, but I think you should have guessed it." Noah stretched out his hand, and as his palm opened, the Cosmic Cube appeared in his hand, emitting a dazzling blue light.
Thor moved his mouth. He wanted to say that he didn't guess it at first, but it would be embarrassing to say that, so he changed his way of saying it.
"Yes, I know, but I have discussed this with my father before. The Cosmic Cube is too dangerous, so my father decided to give it to you for safekeeping."
"Thor! The Cosmic Cube is our Asgard's treasure. How could you hand it over to a human! When did you and your father become so weak!" Loki said angrily after hearing what Thor said.
"Loki! This is our father's decision!" Thor frowned and his voice became stern.
Noah looked at the two brothers who were about to get into an argument, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Noah found the story between the two brothers quite interesting.
However, after watching the brothers' farce for a while, Noah interrupted the two and then said:
"Thor, did you not tell him about your father Odin?"
"What's the matter? Thor, are you hiding something from me?" Loki looked at Thor with dissatisfaction when he heard it.
"Father... Actually, I don't know much about father's current condition. It's just that father has recently told me many things in the form of a will. I suspect that father has serious health problems..." There was a trace of sadness in Thor's eyes, and he told Loki his guess.
"What! This is impossible!" Loki didn't quite believe what Thor said. In his heart, Odin had always been a powerful and invincible father figure. Although he felt extremely angry after learning that he was not Odin's biological son, in the end, he still chose Odin as his adoptive father, and even killed Laufey, his biological father, who was hostile to Odin.
He has no feelings for his biological father, but he has had a father-son relationship with Odin for thousands of years. Odin has always treated him as his son, although Loki has always been dissatisfied with Odin's handling of the throne. Therefore, after hearing what Thor said, Loki's first reaction was to not believe it.
"It seems that you are not very clear about it, so let me tell you." Noah also knew that the two of them did not know much about Odin's condition at present, so he planned to tell them the truth in person.
"Your father, King Odin, is indeed dying."
