I’m Very Disappointed in You

Harvey watched as Thor regained his Godly Power and took his future girlfriend Jane, along with Jane’s best friend, around New York for fun, then withdrew his gaze.

For now, he truly did not want to meet Thor.

Tony helping Thor would not significantly affect how events unfolded.

Because Thor’s foundation was that, after enduring some hardships at most, he would ultimately regain Mjolnir’s recognition, reclaim Mjolnir, and return to Asgard.

Tony’s help merely sped up that process.

But if Thor came into contact with him, or even had further dealings with him, and began considering joining the Void—

Not only might it draw Odin’s attention to him, it could also affect the Avengers Initiative’s first assembly next year.

Harvey was not worried in the slightest, because he had plenty of opportunities to win Thor over.

Thor was unlike Odin, who had lived for many years, experienced countless things, and possessed incomparably formidable strength.

Thor was still in his growth phase. He had not even realized that Thor Power did not originate from the hammer, but was a power he inherently possessed.

Therefore, Thor would encounter many powerful enemies and difficulties before he could gradually grow stronger.

And before long, Thor would encounter a time when his beloved, Jane Foster, was afflicted by illness.

At that moment, winning Thor over would be absurdly easy.

If Harvey rashly tried to recruit him now, he might even end up clashing with Odin.

Naturally, now was not the best time for him to meet Thor directly and recruit him along the way.

After withdrawing his gaze, Harvey continued leisurely eating a late-night snack in Chinatown.

Loki would probably come to Earth before long. When that happened, Harvey would have to enjoy the show.

Over the following week.

Thor took Jane and Daisy around New York’s various luxurious venues.

During that time, Thor and Jane’s relationship progressed by leaps and bounds.

Thor had developed a favorable impression of Jane because she had helped him and because she was an intelligent woman.

Jane, meanwhile, had developed a favorable impression of Thor because of his handsome appearance and humorous personality.

Their relationship was now separated by only a thin veil, and neither of them had yet made it explicit.

That day, Thor took Jane and Daisy to vacation in a temporarily rented seaside villa.

Jane and Daisy were both beautiful women. One was sexy and intellectual, while the other was lively and fiery.

It was quite the feast for Thor’s eyes as the three of them happily played in the water together.

A remarkably handsome man with shoulder-length black hair, dressed in a suit, arrived at the beach.

The man’s arrival made Thor’s expression change slightly.

"Thor, what’s wrong?"

Seeing the change in Thor’s expression, Jane asked worriedly.

"My brother is here. Take Daisy farther away first."

Thor spoke after hearing that.

"Your brother?"

"I’ll explain later."

After casually saying that, Thor swam toward the shore.

By the time Loki reached the shore, Thor had just swum out of the sea.

"Brother, it seems you’ve grown quite accustomed to living here?"

Loki spoke when he saw Thor.

"I met some friends. They helped me through the most difficult beginning."

"So although life now cannot compare to how it was in Asgard, it is not bad either."

Thor spread his hands, looked around, and smiled.

"Which of those two women is your little sweetheart?"

Loki glanced at Jane and Daisy, who had been watching them, and spoke.

"Neither of them. For now, they’re just friends."

Thor looked back and discovered that Daisy and Jane had only moved a few dozen meters away.

"I see. It seems you’ve adapted well to life on Earth."

Loki smiled thoughtfully.

"I have adapted fairly well, but what are you doing here?"

A glint flashed through Thor’s eyes as he spoke.

"I came to tell you something."

"Father is dead."

A trace of sorrow appeared on Loki’s face as he spoke.

"How is that possible?"

Thor’s pupils contracted as he stared at Loki in shock.

"Brother, I know you loved Father deeply."

"But Father died cleaning up the mess caused by the great disaster you brought about."

Loki spoke with sorrow on his face and heaviness in his voice.

"That’s impossible. I need to go back and see for myself."

Thor simply could not accept such a thing.

He had endured his father’s trial, understood his father’s painstaking intentions, and regained Thor Power.

And now Loki was telling him that Father was dead, and had died because of him?

"Brother, you can’t go back."

"I know losing Mjolnir caused you to lose your Godly Power, and that is difficult to accept."

"But after Father’s death, the throne of Asgard and its responsibilities have fallen upon me."

Seeing Thor’s horrified and disbelieving expression, Loki adopted a serious look.

"Since you’ve succeeded to the throne, why can’t I return?"

Thor had been panicking, but after hearing Loki’s words, he had already grown suspicious. He looked at Loki and asked.

"Brother, you should know that neither you nor I possess Father’s immense strength."

"So, in order to stop the war with the Frost Giants—"

"I signed a ceasefire agreement with them, and one of its terms required your exile."

"Otherwise, they will return and throw the Nine Realms into chaos."

"Mother agreed to this as well."

Loki gave his reason.

"Loki, Loki… you truly are a liar."

After hearing this, Thor looked at Loki with disappointment in his eyes.

"I know this is difficult to accept, but I have no reason to lie to you, brother."

Loki’s heart shook when he saw the disappointment in Thor’s eyes. Where had I revealed a flaw? Yet on the surface, he remained calm as he spoke.

"A being as powerful as Father cannot possibly die so suddenly."

"Even assuming Father really died and you truly inherited the throne—"

"You should know that a mere ceasefire agreement could never stop Jotunheim’s Frost Giants from pursuing their ambitions."

"So, with Asgard’s current lack of military strength, you should be even more eager to bring me back and find a way to help me reclaim Thor Power, so that peace in the Nine Realms can be ensured."

"But you did not do that. Instead, you lied to me and said Father was dead."

"You even said the ceasefire agreement included me?"

"And Mother agreed? What a joke."

"If Father exiled me, then even if I did not see it, Mother would certainly have pleaded for me."

"If there were a chance for me to return, she would definitely let me go back."

Thor’s eyes were filled with disappointment as he looked at Loki.

"Those are only your thoughts. Compared to recalling you, signing the agreement is what can ensure peace in the Nine Realms."

When Loki heard Thor say Mother could never agree, his eyes trembled. But knowing Thor no longer possessed power, he did not panic and simply spoke.

"You still want to deceive me?"

"Loki, I’m very disappointed in you."

Seeing Loki stubbornly refuse to admit it, the disappointment on Thor’s face turned into anger. He stretched out one hand, and a storm instantly swept across the sky.

Mjolnir descended from the heavens at incredible speed and flew into Thor’s hand. In an instant, lightning erupted, and Thor, who had been wearing only swim trunks, transformed into the armor of the god of thunder.
