Chapter 193. Thor in Despair (Part1)

"They lied, there's no such thing as a satellite falling. If it was real, they would have pulled the wreckage away instead of building a base here!"

After a long drive, Jane and her group finally arrived at the spot where the satellite had crashed, according to the man in the diner.

Looking at the makeshift base S.H.I.E.L.D. had set up, Jane immediately realised that the whole thing wasn't as simple as she had thought.

Looking at the heavily guarded base in front of him, Bucciarati immediately tossed the broken arm in his hand gently.

"Sticky Fingers!"

In the next moment, the Stand emerged from behind him, grabbed Thor's arm and used his ability to connect it back again.

Turning his wrist and clenching his fist, Thor felt his arm return and that there was nothing strange about it. He turned to Bucciarati and whispered, "Thank you. But as I said before, Mjolnir is not something you can take so easily. It was given to me by Odin ..."

"I don't have any interest in your hammer."

'Because I already have it.'

Inside the antique shop, Ryan silently remarked. He continued to control Bucciarati to act casually and replied, "My purpose has never been your hammer."

"Then why did you attack Thor and take his arm?"

Hearing Bucciarati's answer, Jane couldn't help but wonder.

"Because he's too noisy." Turning his head and looking at the base on the other side, Bucciarati continued to add, "I don't like it when people keep arguing in front of me, so I gave him a reason to keep quiet. See, didn't that work out well along the way?"

With a casual expression, Bucciarati gave his reasons. After that, he ignored Thor and Jane, who looked dumbfounded, and then started walking towards the base.

Although, what should be done, he had already done through Kid's clone...

However, now that Bucciarati was on stage, it was necessary for him to do something giving a reason for his appearance, lest it became a plot hole.

"Wait a minute!"

Looking at Bucciarati's back, Thor's hesitated, and he stopped him.

Looking back, Bucciarati looked at Thor with an indifferent gaze.

"I'll go with you."

Meeting Bucciarati's gaze, Thor was similarly expressionless.

"Thor?"

At Thor's words, Jane, who was beside him, looked worried. Although they hadn't spent much time together, it was clear that something had developed between them.

"Rest assured, Jane." Sensing Jane's worries, Thor immediately smiled and comforted, "Once I have Mjolnir back, I will return the items they stole from you."

"No, Thor..." Compared with Thor, who was confident, Jane's face was full of worry, "Look what's down there. You think you're just gonna walk in, grab our stuff and walk out?!"

"No, I'm gonna fly out."

Without hesitation, Thor answered. He looked at Bucciarati and then asked, "Well?"

"I have no opinions." Glancing at Thor, Bucciarati's expression remained unchanged, "As long as you don't interfere with me."

"No problem."

Thor believed that the power that originally belonged to him would come back as long as he successfully got Mjolnir back, so he nodded and agreed without thinking.

...

"We're basically sure that the person who appeared before was the Phantom Thief Kid, the same guy who's been active in New York for some time now." Based on their search and comparing the figure with the information S.H.I.E.L.D. had on the suspect, Agent Coulson had essentially identified one of the two intruders.

"But why would a thief from New York come all the way to New Mexico?" Frowning while looking at the files they had on Phantom Thief Kid, Hawkeye still had a lot of unanswered questions about it, "And how did he manage to lift that thing? When no one else could..."

"Maybe someone hired him? Maybe he came with the intention of stealing items from the crater in the first place. After all, with all the gossip about it in town, it's something of value; that's his M.O." Agent Coulson frowned and also speculated some possible reasons.

Because of their late arrival time, the news about the items in the crater had been known by too many people. So even if S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to keep it secret, they couldn't place a completely tight lid on it.

"What's the matter?"

Inside the base, when Agent Coulson and Hawkeye were exchanging speculations and judgments, they suddenly noticed the unusual movement in the surveillance monitor.

After a silent look, Agent Coulson immediately approached the agent in charge.

"Sir, there appears to be an unidentified subject at the western fence."

"Send someone to take a closer look."

"Yes, Sir."

...

"Okay, We're in ..."

The base was successfully penetrated by destroying the lowest part of the wire mesh around the base.

Thor patted the dust on his body, turned and whispered to Bucciarati on the other side.

However, the next moment, he saw Bucciarati, who was standing outside the wire fence, simply raising his hand and creating a huge zipper opening in the dense wire fence, pulling it with a relaxed expression and walking in with ease.

"Why didn't you tell me you could do that? "

Looking at the zipper that disappeared behind Bucciarati, Thor's expression was somewhat speechless. If he had known it was so easy to get through, he wouldn't have had to struggle to pull and crawl under the wire mesh.

"You didn't ask."

With a nonchalant reply to Thor, Bucciarati looked around the base, which was noticeably even more heavily guarded after his earlier incident with Loki. Unfortunately, however, Bucciarati's Stand ability, Sticky Fingers, had the least fear of such an environment.

If the situation didn't work out, he could deliberately use his Stand to hide underground so that even if S.H.I.E.L.D. had forces beyond his control, they still wouldn't be able to find him.

"I'm going somewhere else to look for the guy I told you about." Looking at the base in front of him, Bucciarati turned his head sideways to Thor. He did so in order to leave Thor with ample reason to move about on his own. After all, he had already left him a big surprise in the location where Mjolnir had fallen.

"I also have my own things to find."

Sweeping his eyes over the tents of the base, Thor then locked onto the very centre, where he had a feeling his hammer was.

"Goodbye then."
