Invasion

"That's impossible!"

Upon hearing Xu Yue say that the attackers were Dark Elves, Thor flatly denied it, and the vigilance he had only slightly relaxed rose back to its highest level.

He had grown up listening to stories of his grandfather defeating the Dark Elves and protecting the Nine Realms. Naturally, he could not believe that the supposedly exterminated Dark Elves could rise from the ashes.

"Fine, you don't have to believe me. But I ask that you take her back to Asgard for an examination. Then you'll discover that thing inside her body."

Jigokudo Xu Yue sighed. He had never expected to convince this brute directly. He merely needed to create a reversal; once Thor discovered the truth afterward, he would find Xu Yue's words highly credible, thereby erasing the negative impression left from last time.

Especially once the Dark Elves invaded Asgard, once they killed Thor's mother, the isolated and helpless Thor would naturally recall what he had said today, leaving an even deeper impression!

That was why he had used this identity to mention the matter in advance. Only then would the effect be optimal...

Thor did not reject Jigokudo Xu Yue's suggestion. After giving him a wary look, he warned him,

"I'm taking Jane back now. I'll have Heimdall keep an eye on you. If you dare try anything, I'll smash you to pieces and never give you another chance to escape."

After threatening Jigokudo Xu Yue, Thor ultimately chose Jane's safety over capturing the man before him. As the Rainbow Bridge appeared once more, he directly took Jane—who had remained dazed throughout the entire ordeal—back to Asgard.

Daisy, her sidekick, and the police officers who had been watching the show could not get a word in edgewise. At this point, they merely exchanged bewildered looks.
