Men Should Drink Beer
Everyone present was an expert in handling weapons. These individual grenades had a 10-second window between the release of the pin and the release of the wristband. The power of a single grenade was not terrifying; what was terrifying were the three boxes of grenades in front of Xia Yu and the pile of Missiles behind him.
If a chain of explosions occurs, the building will definitely be gone. Even though they know it's too late to escape now, everyone still involuntarily tightened their gluteal muscles and shifted their weight to one leg.
Jeniel Smith shakily picked up the coffee and brought it to his lips. Xia Yu's hand tightened, and he gripped the grenade's wristband again.
The two teams behind simultaneously relaxed their gluteal muscles and let out a long breath, the movement resembling a group of people urinating together.
With six seconds left, these highly trained individuals subconsciously estimated how long it would take for the grenade to explode after being released again.
"Is the coffee good?" Xia Yu asked with a friendly smile after seeing that Jeniel Smith had drunk his coffee.
"It's... very delicious." Jeniel Smith said, wiping the spittle off his face. Xia Yu's close-range roar had sprayed all over his face.
"As long as it tastes good, that's fine. I prefer tea and don't know much about coffee. If a twelve-dollar coffee isn't good, I'll tear the store down. Hey, do you know this coffee shop? It's in Queens New York..."
Xia Yu was gesturing wildly as he spoke, and everyone followed his movements, turning their heads up, down, left, and right in sync with the grenade in his hand.
'Click'
Xia Yu's hand inexplicably slipped from his grasp halfway through his sentence.
Everyone's gluteal muscles tightened simultaneously, but luckily Xia Yu noticed in time and immediately clenched his right hand.
"Phew~" The group breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, silently thinking, "Five seconds!"
Xia Yu felt extremely embarrassed and repeatedly apologized to everyone, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I was careless. I'll definitely be more careful next time."
After saying that, Xia Yu slapped his forehead and said apologetically, "I didn't think it through. There are so many people here, why did I only bring out one cup of coffee?"
Xia Yu ran his hands through his hair, fumbling around for a moment before saying helplessly, "We're out of coffee. How about we have beer? We're all men, men should drink beer. Only women drink coffee!"
Jeniel Smith sat there, tears streaming down his face, speechless as he looked up at the sky. He felt wronged; he hadn't been cursing like that.
What do you mean only women drink coffee for no reason? You asked if it was coffee or tea, and you're making those grenades all the time. Who knew you also had beer?
Xia Yu switched the grenade to his left hand and pulled out a table full of beer bottles one by one from his hair with his right. "Come on, everyone grab a bottle, let's have a good drink."
The group looked at each other, but no one made a move; the key was that none of them had ever encountered such a situation before.
Xia Yu's expression changed again. "So you all look down on me?"
'Click!'
"Quickly, quickly, Mr. Xia is treating us to drinks, come and get them right away!" Jeniel Smith almost jumped up.
Everyone rushed over in a flurry of activity.
Xia Yu gripped the grenade's wristband tightly once more.
"Less than three seconds!" That was what everyone was thinking.
Xia Yu picked up the half-empty bottle of beer he had left and downed it in one gulp. Seeing that everyone else had only taken a small sip, he turned his bottle upside down and said with dissatisfaction, "In Huaxia, if I finish my drink, you all have to finish yours too, otherwise it's like you're not giving me face, huh?"
Xia Yu's final "hmm" was met with a flurry of activity from everyone; they gulped it down in less than three seconds.
Xia Yu then revealed a satisfied smile.
Since Xia Yu upgraded his Space Ring, he has no idea how many strange and unusual things he has stuffed inside.
For example, the beer he just took out was all heavily spiked; within ten seconds of both teams finishing it, they all collapsed, staggering and swaying.
Poor Jeniel Smith, trembling, asked Xia Yu, "Mr. Xia, what's going on? What happened to them?"
"How would I know if your men were drunk? Oh dear, their alcohol tolerance is too low, it was just a small bottle of beer." Xia Yu said innocently.
Jeniel Smith didn't dare ask any more questions. He subconsciously reached for his coffee to take a sip, but then glanced at his subordinates. He didn't know what kind of drug Xia Yu had given him, and he was too embarrassed to drink it. He picked up the coffee but then felt awkward putting it down. It was incredibly awkward.
Xia Yu found it amusing and asked with a smile, "Look, all your men are asleep. Why don't you go and get some rest too?"
Before Jeniel Smith could react to Xia Yu's meaning, a fist that kept growing larger appeared in front of him.
'Bang!'
Poor Jeniel Smith was knocked unconscious by Xia Yu, and he was finally free.
Xia Yu looked at the Hydra agents scattered all over the ground. He considered using the Life and Death Talisman to control them all for easier interrogation later, but then thought better of it. Hydra's loyalists all had poison in their teeth, so interrogation would be useless.
For those who aren't die-hard loyalists like Sitwell or the person in front of me, ordinary threats are enough.
There were just too many people in front of him, and Xia Yu was too lazy to deal with them all.
Tony was still behind them without making a move, and Xia Yu didn't want to bother Tony. Bucky's matter was still a hidden danger, so he wanted to let Tony vent his anger first, which would make it easier to deal with later.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu casually put the grenade that was about to explode into his Space Ring. Time was frozen inside, so it wouldn't explode. Moreover, having a grenade that was about to explode inside would be very useful for ambushing someone in a critical moment.
He leaned back slightly in his chair, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Xia Yu was already standing in the Bifrost Control Hall in Asgard.
The people before them were none other than Thor, and Heimdall, the gatekeeper of Asgard.
Some readers said they hadn't seen the movie, so let me explain. Heimdall is the gatekeeper of Asgard, a god who possesses clairvoyance, clairaudience, and teleportation abilities. He also has the ability to remotely sense others' perspectives. However, in Thor: Ragnarok, this is shown as him directly pulling Thor's spirit body to his side. So, that's about it here. Yes, that's right! Just to clarify, I also drink coffee often; this is purely for entertainment purposes, not meant as an insult, so please don't take it personally.
