Thor is Living Off His Girlfriend's Money

I drove to Hammer Industries using telekinesis.

I made a call to have the bodies dealt with and walked straight to Justin Hammer's office.

"Hey, our superhero, the hottest big boss right now."

Justin Hammer's eyes lit up when he saw Nathan Hawke arrive.

At the same time, a bottle of Lafite '82 was already prepared on the desk.

"Come, congratulations."

Pouring the red wine, Justin Hammer handed over a glass.

I took it, swirled the glass, and took a sip.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Regarding Nathan Hawke's directness.

"Uh..."

Obviously.

Justin Hammer wasn't prepared.

"About your company's shares," Justin Hammer mentioned cautiously. Although the Hawke Group wasn't a weapons manufacturer, it was now a company that provided daily necessities for superpowered individuals.

He knew that major corporations were already preparing to secretly inquire about the "price" needed by those heroes.

As long as a hero agreed, they would not hesitate to offer the gifts they had prepared.

"You want in?"

Justin Hammer nodded frantically.

"It can be done."

Justin Hammer was overjoyed.

"But there's one thing I need to tell you."

Nathan Hawke suddenly became serious.

Seeing Nathan Hawke's serious expression, Justin Hammer pulled over a nearby stool and sat next to him.

"Go ahead," he said, clearly having an inkling of what was coming.

"On my way here, I ran into a group of assassins, the kind with all sorts of weapons and vehicles."

Seeing Justin Hammer's expression turn uncomfortable, Nathan Hawke continued, "Of course, I'm willing to have you join; it'll help me share the burden."

Seeing Nathan Hawke's smiling face, completely devoid of any pretense, Justin Hammer became somewhat flustered instead.

He started to wonder if Nathan Hawke was telling the truth or making it up to trick him.

"Of course, it's true. The driver of the car downstairs has already been replaced."

"I was able to come here only because I'm a superhero."

Justin Hammer didn't understand why Nathan Hawke was still so calm despite all this.

"I want to join."

"In exchange for shares in your company."

"Deal."

The two then discussed some of the details in the office.

Both parties were very satisfied with this share exchange.

After acquiring Hawke's shares, Justin Hammer secretly had some information leaked.

Before long, Hammer Industries' stock began to rise in an orderly fashion.

Listening to his secretary report the news of the group's stock increase, Justin Hammer closed his eyes and took a breath as if savoring it.

Nathan Hawke was also very happy.

Now, it was just a matter of seeing if Justin Hammer would recruit Ivan Vanko like in Iron Man 2.

Once Justin Hammer was imprisoned, Nathan Hawke would proceed with a full acquisition of Hammer Industries.

However, Nathan Hawke narrowed his eyes; perhaps Justin Hammer, if he didn't go to prison, could also be very useful.

Anyone who stood in his way.

Nathan Hawke wasn't afraid of playing dirty.

For the next period of time.

New York's crime rate plummeted, and Hydra didn't bother Nathan Hawke anymore.

However, quite a few spies and agents infiltrated the company.

He summoned Wesker for a visit.

The experimental data within Umbrella Corporation increased significantly.

With the crime rate in New York City declining, Nathan Hawke began having them reveal themselves to people outside the city when they had the time.

One day.

Electro followed behind Nathan Hawke, vaguely guessing the meaning behind being summoned.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"I do."

"How have you been lately?"

"Very well, my life is truly excellent right now." Max Dillon said with a grateful expression.

"That's good then."

Light illuminated, then dissipated.

A man in a white lab coat's eyes snapped open.

"Who are you?" the man demanded, simultaneously pulling out a belt and putting it on.

"Henshin."

"Lemon."

"Lockon."

"Kamen Rider Duke."

Kamen Rider Duke raised his Sonic Arrow, aiming it at the two men.

"We mean no harm," Max Dillon stated.

"Is that so?"

"But I can't be too careful."

With that, the Sonic Arrow began firing at the two of them.

"Hmph." Max Dillon wasn't about to take that lying down. Electricity instantly surged through his entire body.

"Superpowered?"

Transforming into Electro, Max Dillon dodged both of the opponent's arrows.

Looking at the large hole blasted through the wall, Nathan Hawke's gaze toward Ryoma Sengoku was not good.

Ryoma Sengoku.

One of the characters from Kamen Rider Gaim. Within the Yggdrasil Corporation in Kamen Rider Gaim, he served as a technical researcher and the genius developer of the "Sengoku Driver." He was also capable of transforming into Kamen Rider Duke using the Genesis Driver.

The two began to battle in the combat laboratory.

Electro's speed made it quite troublesome for Ryoma Sengoku, who had transformed into Kamen Rider Duke. Due to the confined space, his range of movement was severely restricted, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Damn it."

Electro flexibly wrapped around him, causing his movements to slow down.

Just as he was about to make a move, Electro would appear in another location and attack him.

Zzzzt~

An energy cannon, crackling with lightning, blasted directly at Kamen Rider Duke.

After taking the hit, Kamen Rider Duke only showed signs of damage, but Ryoma Sengoku inside was far from alright.

The impact of the energy struck his stomach directly. Although the armor provided some buffer, the force of that instant!

Kamen Rider Duke began to dissipate. Ryoma Sengoku knelt on the ground, gasping for air.

Electro appeared behind him and placed a finger on his neck. If Nathan Hawke gave the word, he would act.

The boost this time was minimal for Nathan Hawke, but he was very satisfied.

Because, finally, he had found a true scientist.

A genius developer.

"What do you want? Or rather, what do you want?" Ryoma Sengoku asked, looking up at Nathan Hawke.

Nathan Hawke simply waved his hand, and Electro removed his finger.

"It seems I'm still useful." Ryoma Sengoku smiled and stood up.

"Take him to see Wesker."

With those words, Nathan Hawke turned and left, leaving Ryoma Sengoku with a deeply impressed impression.

"Well, this guy's style is a bit like Takatora Kureshima's."

The next day.

Nathan Hawke arrived at Umbrella's underground laboratory. Led by Wesker, he saw Ryoma Sengoku engrossed in something nearby.

"A very capable scientist," Wesker said calmly.

Nathan Hawke was a bit surprised. It was the first time he'd ever heard Wesker praise someone.

"Then we won't disturb him."

Nathan Hawke and Wesker returned to the office.

"How's the situation over there?" he asked, referring to the overseas laboratory base.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the researchers."

Just then, Nathan Hawke's phone received a message.

A magical hammer had fallen in New Mexico, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were already in position.

Wesker also received the news.

"I'm going to New Mexico."

Wesker nodded and asked, "Do you need anyone to accompany you?"

"Send Andrew and Max Dillon with me. Also, arrange for the media to leak that a battle is about to take place there."

They boarded the private jet, and Andrew and Max Dillon followed.

"Boss."

"Head."

He nodded at the two of them.

On the plane, the two recounted the upcoming events concerning Thor.

"A god? Thor, the God of Thunder from Norse Mythology?" Andrew's eyes widened.

Max Dillon asked doubtfully, "Is it the Thor I know?"

Max Dillon was a character from Ultimate Spider-Man and still had an impression of Thor.

"Didn't you already investigate this world? You can think of it as a similar parallel world."

Max Dillon nodded. "I understand. In this world, there's Tony Stark, but no Osborn. Some things are the same, but some are different."

"So, Spider-Man, you investigated him too, right?"

Andrew looked at the two of them, confused. He couldn't understand their riddles.

"Yeah, I checked. I found a kid named Peter Parker, but the age and appearance don't match. I don't know if he'll become Spider-Man later."

Nathan Hawke smiled without saying anything. It seemed he had found out, but the child's face was completely different from the one Max Dillon remembered.

"Hey, we're talking about Thor, the God of Thunder, not some little spider," Andrew said loudly.

"Just cater to their interests."

"Drinking? I can't drink." Andrew immediately refused.

"I can drink," Max Dillon said indifferently. Before he had superpowers, he was a heavy drinker. But now, it was different. Every time he was defeated by Spider-Man, he would go for a big drink, and over time, he had become a barrel of a man who could drink and fight.

Following Nathan Hawke's plan, the two intended to recruit Thor into the superhero project.

However, Max Dillon suddenly felt awkward.

"I use electricity, but he..."

"It's okay, he's in his human form with the Hammer God Fruit now, not the God of Thunder."

This statement left the two of them completely bewildered.

They got off the plane and arrived at the town where the events were unfolding.

Due to a lack of manpower, they could only use money to ask a newspaper vendor and learned Thor's approximate location.

After all, a tall, blond man was rare in town, especially a foreigner. So, most people in town already knew that a visitor had appeared. After drinking, he was shouting, "Hammer, hammer, my hammer," followed by a man with a pained expression.

The bar wasn't open yet, so where else could he get a drink?

After pointing out the location to Nathan Hawke, the group drove away.

In a restaurant, two men and two women were eating dinner.

Or rather, one man and two women were watching the blond man who was eating heartily.

"Money, money." Jane was silently bleeding internally. Thor next to her was eating too much, and if he kept eating, she'd have to use her own money.

The budget was burning, burning.

Heartbroken, Jane could only pat her chest inwardly.

"This is great! Waiter, another large, strong beer."

"Coming right up," the waiter said cheerfully.

Recently, this "hammer" customer had brought a lot of traffic and money to their restaurant.

He clearly felt that many outsiders had come to town recently, and although he knew it was related to the hammer that had fallen near the town.

But he didn't care about any of that; if there was a tip to be made, he was going to make it.

Jane immediately refused.

"No thanks, he's eaten enough."

"Ah, Jane, don't be like that, I still want some."

"No, you've eaten too much."

"Jane, you're so stingy."

The two began to argue.

An old man and another woman nearby watched the scene speechlessly.

Then, another waiter ran over and brought a large mug of beer.

Thor immediately grabbed it and drank it down in one gulp.

"Hic! That was great! Though, it's still not as good as the beer in Asgard."

"Ahhhh."

Jane looked at the waiter who brought the beer, on the verge of a breakdown. This family would fall apart without me!!!

The waiter just smiled and said, "Hello, a gentleman has already paid your bill."

"Huh!" The three of them were surprised.

Only Thor contentedly patted his stomach.

"Hic~"
