[Asgard Palace, Temple of Eternal Sleep]

Odin, who was sleeping in here, suddenly frowned.

He perceived that Mjolnir suddenly disappeared and then reappeared again as if nothing happened.

The time in between, although was not even a second but as a powerhouse at the level of True God, Odin was sure that Mjolnir had just disappeared.

"At this time, the Ancient One is still there. Mjolnir should be safe on Earth, right? Could it be that the delusion happened just now because I'm getting old and dizzy?" Odin, who was sleeping, comforted himself so much in his heart, and did not pay attention to Mjolnir anymore, but instead turned his attention towards his other unsatisfactory son - Loki, the god of mischief.

He saw that his son went astray and chose to work with Giants of Jotunheim.

He saw Loki trying to fool his biological father, it was only normal since Loki is one of the most ambiguous person he has seen, Odin saw Loki open his mouth and say "As long as you can help me become the king of Asgard, I'm willing to give you Midgard and Odin, how about you? Do you want to cooperate?"

How could Laufi ever dare to hesitate after hearing such a balant mockery of him and he directly agreed to Loki's cooperation, and also looked impatient.

Definitely these emotions were all just superficial, Lauf sneered in his heart and thought 'Midgard?

With the Sorcerer Supreme as its Guardian, who dares to rule Midgard?

But if I can kill Odin, it's not impossible to accompany this kid in a play, and then send a few Giants of Jotunheim to Midgard for a form.

At the main moment I will send someone to kill Odin, and then take advantage of Asgard's civil strife, attack Asgard to regain the Ice Treasure Box and then completely dominate the Nine Realms, wouldn't it be fun then?'

Thinking like this, Lauf agreed excitedly, "No problem, my son."

Loki looked at the fooled Lauf, sneering in his heart as well.

'What a fool!' Both of them simultaneously thought in their heart.

The two immediately performed a play of fatherly kindness and filial piety.

How much real emotion is there?

It is estimated that only the two sides know.

After watching all this.

Odin sighed.

The kid was still the same as before, he liked to play with his little brain, trying to fool others, thinking that he's smart and in reality he didn't even understand what it took to run a kingdom.

As soon as he thought of his own children, each one was less than satisfactory, Odin silently closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind.

'Fight! while I'm alive.

By the time I really die, your fight will also be over.'

......

It was already evening when Coulson arrived in New Mexico.

Looking at the hammer on the ground, Coulson sighed, and then began to instruct his men to set up a makeshift camp.

Coulson, who was tired after working till 2 or 3 o'clock in the night, was woken up by his subordinates before 6 o'clock the next morning.

The reason is that the fire has spread...

Coulson woke up and his face darkened looking at the fire that stretched a kilometer away.

"What's going on? Are all the firefighters of America idiots? I remember that at noon yesterday, the fire was already reported by the whole country. The fire department has not only failed to contain the fire, but has made the fire worse and worse?"

Coulson was furious seeing the scene and he immediately called in the chief of the fire department of that area.

The chief fire officer gave Coulson a blank look, and asked with a sneer, "Do you know that our firefighters earn less than 2,000 dollars a month, and the annual firefighting fee paid by Yasak town is pitiful. Why should my people work so hard for less than $2,000?"

In America, the salaries of firefighters, like the local police, are supported by local residents. They do not serve the people, but are more like capital-controlled security companies.

As for the spirit of sacrifice?

Well, sorry. Not even the policemen of America are so patriotic towards the country, how can the firefighters be so then ?

"So that's how you look at it?"Coulson looked at the simple and honest looking fat man in front of him in disbelief.

How the hell did this bastard get into this position? Is the politics in America so chaotic now?

The chief of firefighters quickly shook his head and denied "How is it possible! We have asked Congress for support, and we have also asked the state government for support.

And am I not arranging mass evacuation? How can you say we are all just watching? Even if you are in a higher department, you can't slander me, right?"

"What did the Congress say?"

"The parliament has said that it will take two months for them to formulate a plan and then pass it. We will just wait two months."

Coulson: "…"

Two months later...

Coulson asked with a dark face "Do you think there is a possibility that the fire will be extinguished naturally without waiting for two months."

The chief firefighter looked at Coulson with a "are you stupid" look.

"If the fire really goes out naturally, then the politicians will just spend a bit of money to handle the media and let them say that after 10 days of heavy hardships, the firefighters had finally dealt with the spread of fire. Isn't this better than sending someone to die?

Anyway, this place is not densely populated, so if people like to burn it, let them burn it."

The chief fire officer replied meaningfully "And what you said is practically impossible, this fire is not an accident."

Another very important reason why he did not order firefighters to fight the fire was that more than 40 of the 200 firefighters he dispatched to fight the fire died last night.

According to the report of the returned firefighters, the fire was not simple, it was a premeditated fire.

In order not to cause unnecessary losses, until the preparator behind the scenes is not found, he will keep his men on hold and wait for the support from the state.

Coulson, as a top agent, immediately noticed the point.

"Isn't it a simple accident? Was this fire caused by someone deliberately?"
