Chapter Seventy-Eight: Light Knows a Hammer
It's mid-February.
Charlot's estate in Beverly Hills has been completed and is entirely European-style, with small gardens and large pools shaded by plenty of trees and shrubs.
In addition to Charlotte himself, Damon and Mindy, Sharon Carter, and Skye, who was pulled by Mindy, also moved in.
Adina originally wanted to move in, but Xia Le told her that now she had changed from her personal assistant to a working secretary, and refusing her to move in was a complete end to Adina's desire to rely on pajamas Xia Le to get to the top.
Early in the morning, when Charle was eating breakfast made by Sarang Carter, she took out her mobile phone and showed him a photo.
"BOSS, Coulson has had a problem lately. Let me ask you, do you know what this thing is? β
Xia Le looked at it and saw that it was a boxy silver hammer.
It was placed upside down on the ground, with a short three-finger-thick cylindrical handle attached to the center of the hammer, surrounded by runes carved as inscriptions.
Xia Le recognized the familiar hammer at a glance.
"MjΓΆlnir?"
Sharon Carter blinked, a little surprised.
"MjΓΆlnir? The legendary Mjolnir? β
Xia Le smeared blueberry jam on bread with a knife and spoke.
"It's a legend to you or humans, but to some people it's just history, or even a trivial experience for more than a thousand years, and you'll forget it if you don't think about it."
"Thor and his hammer are never separated. Since the hammer is here, then Thor must be nearby. He is the great prince of Asgard, a famous fighting race in the universe, the first heir to the god king Odin, and he leads Asgard's army to fight in all directions, and his strength is very strong. β
And in a sense, the races in the universe all assume that the earth is covered by Asgard. If you don't want to cause an interstellar dispute, you'd better find him quickly. β
"God-King Odin and Thor are actually aliens? Famous in the universe? β
Sharon Carter's face changed, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly told Coulson the news.
Coulson was also shocked.
It's just a strange hammer, how can it suddenly involve aliens, and it's also an alien crown prince?!
He discussed it with Nick Fury, and finally Sharon Carter told Charlotte.
"BOSS, the Director would like you to go to New Mexico and help with this."
Xia Le glanced at Sharon Carter and said slowly.
"Then Sharon, it's time for you to get out of the way. You know, I'm not cheap. As my personal secretary, you're going to ask Director Nick Fury for the highest price. β
Sharon Carter opened his mouth and nodded helplessly with a wry smile.
"Okay, boss."
When Sharon Carter asks Nick Fury for funding, Director Brown Egg is directly confused.
Good fellow, let the man I send haggle with me?
You're really good at playing!
But considering that Charle told him a month ago that he had now found out some eyebrow news, and that he had recognized Mjolnir this time, Nick Fury felt the need to maintain a good relationship with him.
"Ten million dollars, take care of this."
Listening to Nick Fury's offer, Xia Le snapped his fingers with satisfaction.
"No problem. Pay first. Sharon went to book two tickets. β
And that's just the first ten million.
When Nick Fury later discovers that there are a lot of things that S.H.I.E.L.D. can't handle, the second and third ten million won't be far away.
At the table, Damon, who was also eating breakfast, spoke.
"BOSS, I'll go with you."
In the last shootout on the streets of Tokyo, Damon wanted to go to Kaimingdi's parent-teacher conference, but Xia Le didn't let him go.
Afterwards, Damon was embarrassed and felt that he had not played the role of a bodyguard.
Hearing the alien, Mindy next to him was also brightly eyed, and raised his hand excitedly.
"I want to go too!"
"Forget Damon, this opponent is not something that can be done with a simple bazooka and grenades. Instead of caring about that, you should care more about Mindy's results. I've heard that her grades on this exam weren't very good. β
Xia Le waved his hand and rejected the father and daughter.
"And Mindy, who wants to meet aliens and have a chance in the future. This trip is still quite dangerous, so don't go. If you're very idle, maybe I can enroll you in a few math or science interest classes? β
It's okay not to mention this matter, but when you mention Damon, you will have a collapse on your face.
"Oh my God, the question for elementary school students now feels more difficult than fighting gangsters!"
Mindy also nodded again and again, agreeing with a sad face.
"That's right! Forget about signing up for interest classes! I'd rather go and cut a few people down the street than face my math teacher's face like a dead mom and dad! β
Looking at the synchronized expressions of the father and daughter, Xia Le was directly amused by them.
Only Skye sat in his seat with a blank face, listening to Thor, Asgard, and Alien, and his expression vaguely became excited.
As an orphan, Skye has been tracking down his biological parents, and has a vague sense of an invisible hand in the world that has erased much of the information that people should know.
The reason why she became a hacker was also to find her parents through the Internet, and wanted to know why the other party abandoned her.
Is there something unspeakable?
And Xia Le is a giant of light, and it is said that he also has something to do with the military, maybe he knows, or can help inquire about her expressions!
Charlotte also noticed the change in Skye's expression.
He thought for a moment and said to Skye.
"Skye, it's probably better not to know something than to know."
Skye was startled and stood up from his stool.
She put down the bread in her hand and hurriedly asked Xia Le.
"BOSS, do you know my background? Do you know who my parents are? β
"Don't get too excited, girl. We sat down and said. β
Charlotte beckoned to Skye.
Skye took a deep breath and sat back on her stool, her eyes blazing at Xia Le, her eyes full of anticipation.
Xia Le sighed in his heart.
Skye's life history can also be called miserable. Although her parents are still alive, they are not as good as Mindy, who is dead.
"Your mother's name is Jia Ying, who was once tortured inhumanely and was finally rescued by your father, but since then she has hated humanity and the world, and has formed a criminal organization called "Afterlife" with her own people. And your father, Calvin Zabo, is a scientist, but because of the unstable potion he made, he has some mental problems, and he has also done a lot of bad things. β
"My mother, she hates humans?"
Skye blinked, a look of disbelief.
"Could it be that my mother is not human?"
Xia Le nodded slightly.
"Yes. Your mother is an Inhuman with Cree genes and superpowers that are different from ordinary people. So you're Inhuman too. β
