Spider-Man suddenly asked, "What's going to happen to Harry, who was taken away with the Green Goblin just now?" Even now, he was still worried about his good friend.
Hill said, "He's the Green Goblin's son. Of course we won't leave him to his own devices. At Guan Heng's request, we'll keep him under discreet supervision and patiently guide and train him, so he doesn't follow in his father's footsteps. It'd be even better if we could raise him to become an ally of justice."
"For now, this really is the best outcome for Harry," Spider-Man said, feeling heavyhearted. "I hope that when he learns what happened to his father, he won't be too devastated. All right, you two, I'm going to keep patrolling New York City. I'll be off." As he spoke, he shot out a strand of webbing and swung away.
"Well, that wraps things up for tonight." Guan Heng stretched. "Hill, I'll be going too. And pass along a reminder to your subordinates: this building is now Boss Guan's territory. If they accidentally break anything, I won't stand for it."
"Don't worry about that. I just have to tell them you're buying the place, and those guys won't even touch a scrap of paper," Hill said, shaking her head. "Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. knows that if someone accidentally snaps one of your toothpicks, you'll claim it was used by a Roman emperor and make them sell their blood to pay you back."
"Hahaha, it's not that bad," Guan Heng laughed as he headed for the door. "I'm frugal, not stingy. When you get married, I'll give you the biggest cash gift of anyone. Of course, that's assuming anyone dares to marry you."
"Go to hell!" Hill stamped her foot and cursed.
Some time later, one morning, in Tony's office on the top floor of the Stark Enterprises Building.
"All the transfer paperwork is complete. As of today, you're the president of Osborn Enterprises. How does it feel, Mr. Guan Heng, newly minted giant of the biotech industry?" Tony asked.
"I don't feel anything," Guan Heng said, folding his arms. "Same as always: I'll leave the running of everything to you. All I need is a private lab with top-of-the-line equipment."
"From now on, I'll also be researching and developing some equipment I need, as well as ways to strengthen my body." Guan Heng began planning for the future. "The Super Villains are working hard to get stronger, too. We have to keep up with the times and not let them steal the spotlight."
"Mm, you make a very good point." Tony nodded, clearly agreeing. "I need to get back to researching my armor, too, and make more improvements."
"Pardon me, gentlemen. I hope you won't mind the interruption." Jarvis, the ever-present butler, suddenly spoke over the loudspeaker. "We have visitors."
"And one of them is someone you know," Jarvis continued leisurely. "They've already taken the elevator to the top floor."
"Who's this familiar face? There aren't many people both Guan Heng and I know," Tony asked.
"Son of Odin, the Norse god Thor, and a lady."
Less than half a minute later, Thor and a female warrior clad in golden armor, with a spear and shield on her back, walked into Tony's office.
The woman was stunning, with delicate features and a perfect figure. Her dazzling golden hair was especially striking. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Long time no see, Thor," Tony greeted the God of Thunder. "What kind of monsoon blew you down from Asgard and brought you back to Earth? And who is this beautiful lady?"
"This must be Thor's better half, the most beautiful woman in Asgard, the valiant warrior, Goddess of Land and Harvest Sif," Guan Heng said first, thinking, She's just like in the movies. Impossible to mistake.
Thor and Sif looked utterly astonished. Thor said, "Guan Heng, I didn't expect you to know so much about us."
"I don't know that much," Guan Heng said. He chuckled inwardly. I've just been reading a lot about Norse mythology lately. Besides, I've seen the movies.
"So, old friend, what brings you and your wife back to Earth?" Tony asked, unable to hold back his curiosity.
Sif, clad in golden armor, suddenly blushed. "You two go ahead and talk. I'll get some air on the balcony over there." With that, she went off on her own.
As soon as the woman left, Thor seemed a little embarrassed, too. He stammered, "Well, the thing is... I... I've lost something again."
"Lost something again?" Guan Heng grew curious. "Did you lose that short-handled hammer of yours this time?"
"No, I've been very careful with the hammer. I..." Thor's face turned red, then pale. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, "This time I lost my belt."
"Ahahahahaha!" Guan Heng and Tony exchanged a look, then burst out laughing until tears streamed down their faces. "Now that's something! You even lost your belt? How does that happen?"
Mocked and teased by his two friends, Thor's face turned bright red. He muttered, "Go ahead, laugh. It's not like anything could be more embarrassing than this."
Their laughter abruptly stopped. Guan Heng and Tony exchanged a look. They seemed to realize how serious the situation was; otherwise, Thor wouldn't have come to them.
"Ahem, tell us exactly what happened," Tony said, clearing his throat. "Let's see if we can help."
"It was three nights ago. After a lavish dinner," Thor said, "Sif and I had gone to bed to rest. We were about to—Ahem. Then I suddenly heard a noise. I turned on the light and saw that my belt had vanished. I was startled, so I quickly felt under my pillow for my hammer. At least that hadn't gone missing."
"You know I have three treasures," Thor said, spreading his hands. "The magic belt around my waist doubles my strength, the iron gloves protect me from ice and fire, and with that hammer, I can smash whoever I want. Now my belt has vanished. I'll become the laughingstock of the gods. I had no choice but to come to you for help."
Guan Heng glanced toward Sif, who was getting some air on the balcony. The beautiful blond woman Sif, Heimdall's younger sister, originally had a gorgeous head of golden hair, until Loki cut it off as a prank. She was betrothed to Thor, and was also a brave and skilled warrior. It looked like Thor had already gotten together with her long ago. The two of them were living openly as husband and wife. Who would've thought Thor lost his belt while they were being intimate?
I wonder if the lucky thief saw the foreplay, or the whole show, Guan Heng thought. What a lucky guy.
"Hey!" Sif strode in, having grown tired of waiting for the men. "The All-Father has fallen into deep sleep again. We have to use this opportunity to find the thing Thor lost."
"Before coming here, we consulted the best diviner in Asgard," Sif said. "He said that if we came here and found someone with black hair and black eyes, that person would lead us to Thor's lost item."
