Compared to his brother, the Thunder God Thor, the Dark Mage Loki was indeed much sharper.
But even if his rationality had already rung the alarm bell for him..,
It sounded the alarm..,
But it was too late.
This was because Loki's body was completely out of his control.
His rationality shouted crazily —
Quickly resist!
Don't let the food of the atrium stain your Asgardian mouth!
But Loki's hand picked up the chopsticks next to him very honestly.
At first, Loki didn't know how to use it, but he glanced at the diners at the left and right tables and tried it a little..,
He was smart enough to know how to use the chopsticks.
Perhaps Loki wasn't very skilled at using it at first..,
But he still successfully picked up a piece of chicken for himself. When he put it into his mouth, the fresh and delicious chicken was boiled in the soup..,
It added a bit of freshness. When he chewed the chicken..,
The smell of herbs and pepper it absorbed was released in his mouth at once.
Loki wasn't hungry before he entered "My Chinese Restaurant",
But when he took a bite, he felt as if his appetite had been opened by something, tempting him to eat again involuntarily.
His rationality, which had been seduced by the little goblin of food, was still struggling —
Wake up!
This is all sugar-coated bullets that corrode your rationality!
However, Loki's hand still picked up a piece of pork stomach and put it into his mouth,
The refreshing pork stomach was very chewy,
When he squeezed it between his teeth..,
The soup absorbed in the pork stomach suddenly splashed out,
And then he drank a mouthful of the thick but not turbid fresh soup,
The two were intertwined,
Mixed with pepper that slightly stimulated his taste buds,
It was simply irresistible.
Loki, as the second prince of Asgard,
Had always thought that he was qualified to compete for the throne of Asgard, even if Thor was more popular than him there, but he was very confident —
He never thought that he would lose to Thor.
Because in Loki's opinion, Thor was just a brute who could only carry a hammer. He had plenty of ways to play him around.
Yes.
Saul's experience of being tricked by Loki since he was a child was enough to prove this point.
Loki originally thought that as long as he could defeat Saul and let his father, Odin, whom he worshipped and was attached to, see his excellence and ability, he could become the next king of Asgard.
Loki had always known that his father, Odin, liked and valued Saul more, but he didn't expect to replace Saul's position in his father's heart. He only hoped that in his father's heart, his youngest son could be on equal footing with Saul.
But who knew that all his efforts were just a joke because he wasn't Odin's biological son at all, so no matter how hard he worked, it was all in vain.
Probably in the eyes of his father, Odin, because he was not a biological son, he had lost the qualification to run for the throne of Asgard from the beginning.
If Loki had lost to Saul because he wasn't as strong as Saul, then he wouldn't have anything to say. But now, he had become a loser because of this reason. How could he be willing to accept this?
He was unwilling to accept this.
He was furious.
He felt even more wronged.
These negative emotions had been piling up in the depths of Loki's heart. He was not like Saul, who had three or five good friends. In the absence of anyone to talk to, these negative emotions had accumulated in his heart.
Since Odin had deprived him of the qualification to run for the throne of Asgard because he wasn't his biological son, then he would snatch it. By hook or by crook, he had to prove to everyone that —
He was the next best king of Asgard.
Loki originally thought that only when he became the next king of Asgard, when he gained the allegiance of everyone, could the negative emotions in his heart be dispelled.
But he never would have thought that the anger and unwillingness in his heart would subconsciously lessen bit by bit. It was as if a pair of warm hands were gently patting his back, gently pulling him into an embrace, and carefully comforting his heart that was occupied by grievances and resentment.
…
Until the pig's belly stuffed chicken was completely finished, the control of the body seemed to have returned to Loki. His reason, which had been eroded by the taste of delicious food, hugged him and his last stubbornness —
Quick!
Run!
If he stayed any longer, he would be doomed eternally!
However, before Loki had time to listen to his reason's advice, he saw Pietro bring a plate of freshly baked roast goose with sour plum sauce to the table. Looking at the round, plump, and beautiful red roast goose, Loki …
Loki felt that the string called reason in his mind suddenly snapped.
Reason was crying like a storm —
Sob, sob, it died unjustly!
Loki didn't know how miserably reason was crying, because at this moment, he no longer had any reason to speak of. His mind was only filled with the roast goose that had just been brought to the table in front of him.
After the roast goose was doused with gravy, it looked even more attractive. Just looking at it made people drool. Loki couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it into his mouth.
The raw material Issou chose to make the roast goose was three-month-old Qingyuan Blackmane Goose. This kind of goose belonged to the small and medium-sized category among the goose species, with thick meat and small bones. It was plump and delicious, and the roast goose made from it was especially delicious.
The goose meat, which seemed to be connected by skin, meat, and bones, separated easily after entering his mouth. Loki took a bite. His teeth first touched the crispy goose skin, and then he bit into the fresh goose meat.
The plump goose meat was thick but not choking, because during the whole process of the goose being slowly roasted in the oven until it was fully cooked, the taste of the gravy poured into the goose's belly had completely penetrated into every pore of the goose meat.
As he chewed in big mouthfuls, the crispy goose skin, the fat and tender goose meat mixed with the mellow and fragrant marinade and the sweet and sour plum sauce exploded on the tip of his tongue. At that moment, Loki seemed to hear his stubborn worldview being shattered.
What?
You asked Loki if he still remembered that his purpose of coming here was to get close to Issou? Did he still remember that he felt that eating Issou's food was a humiliation?
… …
… …
… …
I'm not.
I'm not.
Don't talk nonsense.
Loki wanted to express that just because he was a villain, he couldn't be blamed for anything.
This evil god, who was once so arrogant that he looked down on anyone and everything on Earth, was now kneeling in front of Issou's Chinese food regardless of reason.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Loki faced his arrogance for the first time. It had to be said that this was a very rare thing.
The last time Loki came to Earth, he started the Great War of New York. Although he was smashed by the transformed Hulk to the point of crying and doubting life, he never felt that his arrogance was wrong.
It was also a slap in the face. Hulk's slap made Loki subconsciously admit defeat, but Issou's Chinese food made him repent —
He shouldn't have killed a boat full of people with a bamboo pole.
Even if the superheroes and Midgardians were particularly annoying, at least Coubé's daughter was very cute.
Especially her culinary skills.
Jane! Straight! Can! Love! Arrive! Explode!
The superheroes were speechless.
They were particularly annoying?
Did he think that he was particularly likable?!
Saul Super Hero Odinson was speechless.
Emmmm …
His brother was indeed very likable.
The superheroes were speechless.
There was a traitor among them!
Back to the topic, Loki, who had been completely conquered by Issou's cooking, completely forgot his purpose for coming to Earth because of this meal.
What?
Shouldn't Loki be thinking about how to stir up trouble on Earth after he's had his fill?
… …
… …
… …
What a waste of time.
It was rare for him to eat and drink to his heart's content. Shouldn't he be thinking about what to eat next?
Just as Loki was thinking, Tony came.
The superhero originally came to "My Chinese Restaurant" to have a good meal … No, he planned to understand the situation with Issou and have a good meal while he was at it.
But he never expected that as soon as he pushed the door open and came in, before he had time to see Issou, understand the situation with him, and taste the Chinese food he made, he saw the culprit behind his visit to "My Chinese Restaurant".
"Hey, Bambi."
Tony originally thought that it was surprising enough that Issou and Loki, two people who had nothing to do with each other, got together to take a photo, but he did not expect that what surprised him even more was —
Loki actually came to "My Chinese Restaurant"?
"Why are you here?"
Loki was not from Earth. Although he had come to Earth several times, he was always caught and brought back to Asgard after he was done with his business. So during his absence, he knew nothing about everything on Earth.
For example, he did not know that Issou and the group of superheroes knew each other, let alone that he would meet Tony in "My Chinese Restaurant".
So when he heard Tony's question, Loki threw the question back at him, "I should be the one asking you, why are you here?"
Tony, who did not expect Loki to answer like this, could not help but laugh. He said, "Let's be clear, this is Earth, not Asgard. Don't you think this question is particularly funny?"
What a joke.
This was Earth. As an earthling, what was so strange about him appearing in "My Chinese Restaurant"? The strange thing was that Loki appeared here, okay?
Although no one stipulated that aliens or gods living outside Earth could not appear in "My Chinese Restaurant", for Loki, who came to Earth to cause trouble …
Emmmm。
Wasn't it a bit wrong for him to come to "My Chinese Restaurant"?
However, Loki did not think that there was anything wrong with him coming here. Hearing Tony's words, the evil god sneered and said, "I don't think so. Do you have a rule that the gods of Asgard cannot set foot in the Atrium?"
"Of course there is no such rule."
Tony crossed his arms and looked at Loki, who was sitting in the chair, and said, "But I'm not sure about you. After all, we really don't welcome you on Earth."
For Tony, what did Loki represent?
Trouble.
Although he was a fragile mage and could easily send Hulk to beat him to tears, he had a brother who was not fragile but was particularly thick-skinned! And they could not kill him at will!
Based on these two points, it was strange that Tony liked Loki.
Because every time he came to Earth to cause trouble, he would return to Asgard's prison after he was done. If he could be locked up, then so be it, but Asgard's prison could not hold him.
Otherwise, when Thor came yesterday, he would not have said that his brother had come to Earth to cause trouble again.
It was just that Tony did not like Loki, and Loki did not like Tony either. To him, what did Tony represent?
He was a stumbling block on his way to conquering Earth.
If it were not for this group of avengers and superheroes, his conquest of Earth would have been just around the corner. Why would he need to come to Earth to cause trouble again?
So when he heard Tony say this, Loki directly mocked him, "How shameless are you? Do you think you can represent Earth? "
Without waiting for Tony to refute, the evil god continued, "Besides, it doesn't matter whether you welcome me or not. What matters is that the owner of this Chinese restaurant welcomes me."
For Loki, if it were not for the chance to meet the Coubé's daughter, Issou, he would have gone to cause trouble long ago.
If it were not for the whim of approaching Issou to achieve the purpose of waiting for him to come to "my Chinese restaurant" and taste the Chinese food made by Issou, his purpose of coming to Earth would not have changed.
But the problem now was —
Loki met Issou and tasted the Chinese food made by Issou.
So what was there to cause trouble …
It did not exist at all.
It was precisely for this reason that Loki was particularly unhappy with Tony's appearance. Why, when he came to Earth to cause trouble, the Avengers had to interfere. Now that he came to Earth to have a meal, the Avengers had to interfere too?
When Tony heard Loki say "the owner of this Chinese restaurant", he suddenly remembered the reason why he came to "my Chinese restaurant". He frowned and looked at him. "I almost forgot. How do you know Issou?"
The Avengers had once investigated Issou, so after Tony saw the photo of Issou and Loki last night, he pulled up the number and time of Loki's visit to Earth and compared it with Issou, but found that they had no chance to know each other.
So at that time, Tony guessed that Issou and Loki should have met at the Empire State University cosplay event yesterday. As for how Loki met Issou, why he met Issou, and even what his purpose of meeting Issou was, Tony had no idea.
What?
Why couldn't Tony think that Loki just wanted to meet Issou?
…
…
…
Don't mess around.
Loki was an alien who would die if he did not cause trouble. Did he really come to Earth just to participate in the Empire State University cosplay event?
Loki: "…"
Not at first.
Then it changed.
"The Avengers' business is quite extensive?"
When Loki heard Tony's question, he sneered. "Do I need to report to you how I met Issou?"
Loki felt that everything in "My Chinese Restaurant" today was great. He met Issou, completely gave away the antler helmet (Issou was still thinking about it), and more importantly —
He tasted Issou's hand-made Chinese food.
Of course, if he could meet Issou again, that would be perfect.
But instead of meeting Issou, he met Tony first. Loki: "…"
It was like a piece of rat poop that ruined a pot of soup.
Tony: "…???"
Before Tony and Loki could continue, Issou was invited out of the kitchen by Clarice.
Even if Tony and Loki didn't quarrel like a shrew, the twins felt that it was better to let Izu handle this matter due to the discordant atmosphere between the two of them, as well as the way they attacked each other the moment they opened their mouths, the twins felt that it was better to let Izu handle this matter.
After all, Issou was a girl who could even handle Deadpool and Wolverine.
After staying in Academy X for a few days, Clarice and the twins had already heard that Wolverine and Deadpool would fight for 300 rounds every time they met. Considering Logan's personality and Deadpool's temperament, they felt that …
There was nothing wrong with it.
Logan was so hot-tempered, and Deadpool was so mean, if they were not together … No, it would be strange if they were not together.
However, last time in "My Chinese Restaurant", Logan and Deadpool were in the same frame. Yes!
They didn't fight!
Clarice and the twins, who originally thought that Issou would become Deadpool and Logan's creditor after Charles: "…???"
What happened to fighting when there was a disagreement?
Logan: "…"
He was simply too frightened to react.
Deadpool: "…"
He had no money, so why would he fight with his good girl?
Charles: "…???"
Didn't they still fight in Academy X even if they had no money!?
Back to the topic, if it was just an ordinary diner, then the twins and Clarice could handle it themselves. Although they did not know Loki's identity, considering Tony's identity, they felt that it was better to leave it to Issou.
What if they didn't handle it well and they fought instead?
Issou, who was invited out by Clarice and the others, was a little confused at first. Tony and Mr. Long Legs were already arguing, and if they didn't control themselves, they might start fighting at any minute.
Issou originally thought they were joking, but when he came out and saw —
Uh.
It doesn't seem to be a joke.
Looking at the two people, one sitting and one standing, Issou raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. Although he was curious, he still greeted Tony first, "Tony, you're here?"
Hearing Issou's voice, Tony raised his head subconsciously. When he was facing Loki just now, he still had a mocking and disdainful expression on his face, but when he turned his head to look at Issou, his expression suddenly changed.
"Hi, Issou."
Tony smiled and greeted Issou, then said, "How was the cosplay activity with Peter and the others yesterday?"
"It was very fun."
Issou couldn't help but smile. She said, "Especially the 'quiz' game held by Peter's club."
Hearing Issou's words, Tony couldn't help but laugh. He obviously remembered what questions he asked and what answers he gave, but …
"Sweethearts, you really disappointed me. I thought you would cosplay as Iron Man yesterday?"
The rich tycoon said, "If I had known that Peter would invite you to participate in this cosplay activity, I would have prepared an Iron Man Armor for you in advance."
"No, no, no."
When Issou heard Tony say this, she quickly shook her head and waved her hand. She said, "It's just an activity, Tony, don't spend too much money."
The black-haired girl knew Tony's character very well. This tycoon who used his Iron Man Armor like fireworks would really do what he said.
For example, the Jarvis Meow he gave her.
Hearing Issou's words, Tony asked back, "Is an Iron Man Armor expensive?"
Issou: "…"
Rich people are really … hmm.
Issou said that she didn't want to discuss this issue with Tony and changed the topic directly: "Let's talk about you, Tony, do you know each other?"
As the black-haired girl asked, she glanced at Tony and Loki several times.
When facing Tony, Loki was too lazy to move in his chair, but when Issou came out, he stood up.
Like Tony, Loki had all kinds of sarcastic expressions when facing Tony, but when facing Issou, his attitude changed 180 degrees —
From the cold winter directly to the warm spring.
Hearing Issou's words, Loki suddenly remembered something —
Issou …
She doesn't seem to know his identity, right?
Uh.
It's not that she doesn't seem to know his identity, but it doesn't matter, she will find out soon.
Because the next second, Tony spoke, "Of course, it's hard for me not to know this evil god who always comes to Earth to cause trouble."
Issou: "…!!!???"
Evil God?
When the black-haired girl heard Tony's words, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Loki. So, when she was cosplaying as the evil god yesterday, the fake Loki she encountered was actually the original Loki?
Uh.
Wait a minute.
Issou suddenly thought of a question: "Then why didn't you put on the heat pack yesterday?"
Loki: "…???"
