Questioning His Life Choices

After closing the portal, Chen Mu and the others returned to China, arriving directly at a God Spear Bureau base.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Thor standing frozen in place, Chen Mu asked curiously.

"…"

Thor said nothing, only stared blankly at Wang Wei.

"?"

Chen Mu looked puzzled and turned to look as well. Wang Wei had just closed the portal, casually picked up Thor’s Hammer, and stepped out of the portal last.

"What’s wrong?"

Wang Wei looked at Thor in confusion, completely baffled.

"Mjolnir…"

Thor could barely speak properly. He stammered as he stared pitifully at Wang Wei, because Wang Wei was currently carrying Mjolnir effortlessly over his shoulder, without the slightest sign of strain.

"…"

So that was what this was about!

Chen Mu and the others understood. Thor had seen his hammer-wife on another man’s body and was having a hard time accepting it.

"Uh, I was bringing up the rear, so of course I had to take Mjolnir with me."

Wang Wei rubbed his nose and said somewhat awkwardly.

"That’s not what I mean. You… you can lift my Mjolnir too?"

Thor looked at Wang Wei with tearful eyes, his face full of resentment.

He looked exactly like a pathetic little husband whose wife had run off with another man.

"…"

"Is that strange?"

Wang Wei was utterly confused. Quite a few people in the God Spear Bureau could lift this thing, right? What was so strange about that?

"H-how is that not strange?!"

Thor’s eyes widened as he gritted his teeth and asked, "When did this happen?"

Judging from how skilled Wang Wei looked, this clearly was not the first time he had held Thor’s beloved hammer. So Thor asked directly.

"When?"

Wang Wei scratched his head and said, "I think it was last time? After you sparred with me and I knocked you out, I could already lift Thor’s Hammer then."

"…"

So two months ago, his hammer-wife had already cheated on him?

Wait, if Wang Wei could lift the hammer back then, why had Xu Jia been able to summon Thor’s Hammer just now?

That meant she must have gained Mjolnir’s recognition even earlier. Otherwise, she could not have summoned Thor’s Hammer and had it fly straight over.

"So, Xu Jia, what about you?"

Thor looked at Xu Jia with tearful eyes and asked, "When did you lift Thor’s Hammer?"

"That time."

Looking at Thor’s resentful expression like an aggrieved little wife, Xu Jia held back her laughter and said, "After you passed out, I was the one who put Thor’s Hammer in your hospital room."

"…"

Thinking back carefully, that really had been the case. He had clearly been unconscious, yet Mjolnir had appeared on the nightstand beside his hospital bed. Someone must have put it there!

"So both of you can lift my Mjolnir?"

Thor’s eyes brimmed with tears.

His hammer-wife did not want him anymore and had even found two "lovers"!

It was simply enough to make someone collapse!

At that moment, Thor felt like he had been cuckolded—cuckolded by his own Thor’s Hammer Mjolnir!

"Hey, don’t be so sad."

Wang Wei walked over and patted Thor’s shoulder. "There are plenty of people in the God Spear Bureau who can’t lift it either. It’s not just you who can’t lift Thor’s Hammer. Look at Chen Mu. He can’t lift it either."

"…"

Chen Mu’s face darkened. Why had this been dragged onto him?

It was true that he could not lift Thor’s Hammer, but he could lift the Thor’s Hammer he made himself!

Not only did he have Thor’s Hammer, he also had Thor’s Spear and the Thunder Sword!

If he wanted to, he could make you every weapon imaginable—sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, all eighteen types. Believe it or not?

"Good. At least there are still people who can’t lift it."

Hearing that, Thor let out a long breath of relief.

"Wait, something’s wrong."

Thor frowned, suddenly realizing that things were not so simple.

"Shouldn’t we be saying that no one else can lift it?"

Why were they now saying that not many people could not lift it?

Could it be that more people could lift Thor’s Hammer than could not?

At the thought, Thor felt like he was having a heart attack.

"Shouldn’t we be saying that no one else can lift Thor’s Hammer?"

Thor stammered as he looked hopefully at Wang Wei and the others.

"Huang Guang, take this to the storage room and put it away first."

Wang Wei did not hear Thor’s words right away. Instead, he greeted several green giants walking toward them. After he called out, the green giant in front transformed back into a human in the blink of an eye. Wearing only shorts and bare-chested, his sturdy muscles left no doubt about his strength.

"No problem."

Huang Guang walked over, took Thor’s Hammer one-handed, nodded at the dumbfounded Thor, then swung Thor’s Hammer as he slowly headed outside.

"…" Thor fell silent, his expression bizarre.

"By the way, Thor, what were you saying just now? I didn’t hear you clearly."

Wang Wei looked at Thor curiously. He had happened to be speaking to Huang Guang, so he had not heard Thor clearly.

"Nothing, nothing…"

Thor opened his mouth, took a deep breath, then looked at Wang Wei solemnly and asked, "I… I just want to know exactly how many people have lifted my Mjolnir?"

"Oh, that."

Wang Wei understood. So that was what he had been asking.

"Among the God Spear Bureau’s warriors and management, it seems only Chen Mu and Director Zheng Xian haven’t lifted it."

"…"

So basically every God Spear Bureau warrior had lifted his Mjolnir?

"How many warriors are there in the God Spear Bureau?"

Thor’s voice was hoarse now. It felt as though something had gripped his heart tightly, making him feel unbearably awful.

"Not that many. Just the ones you saw after waking up last time."

Wang Wei thought for a moment. "There were only fifty or sixty at the time, I think. You saw them too."

Those who joined later had not had the chance to play with his hammer.

Wang Wei did not think there was anything to hide, so he said directly, "You even came over and sparred with us back then."

And then I got beaten senseless?

Thor felt like his heart had stopped beating.

His beloved hammer-wife had been passed around among Wang Wei and those burly men two months ago, each of them holding her in their hands and playing with her?

And not only had he known nothing about it, he had even been beaten up by those people afterward?

Tell me, where was he supposed to seek justice?

You played with my wife, then beat me up too?

Were you even human?

Fifty or sixty people… his hammer-wife was truly too miserable…

"That’s just the warriors. A lot of comrades who weren’t warriors heard about it too and came over to try. More than half of them could lift it."

"…"

How many people could there be in a God Spear Bureau base? Probably several thousand?

More than half…

At that moment, Thor’s vision went dark, and he fell straight backward.

My Mjolnir…

"The sky is blue, and there are paper cranes outside the window…"

At that moment, Chen Mu’s phone rang. The sorrowful ringtone seemed to make the scene before them feel even more bleak…
