On Earth, at Lu Xi's villa in New York.
At that moment, Maria Hill was still diligently working at the front desk.
Lu Xi leisurely stepped out of a portal with Lorelei and an all-female guard squad, appearing in the villa's courtyard.
Hearing the portal open, Daisy and Wanda hurried out of the house like two cheerful little birds.
"Lucifer, you're back!"

When everyone saw the valiant female warriors following behind Lu Xi, surprise appeared on their faces.
Only Daisy had sharp enough eyes to recognize one of them immediately. She said in astonishment:

"What?" Hill, Daisy, Wanda, and Helen Cho cried out in shock at the same time, their faces full of disbelief.
Daisy's eyes widened as she asked in surprise:
"You mean... the Asgard Divine Realm where Thor lives? How did you become the All-Father after being gone for only a day or two?"
Lu Xi smiled. "It's a long story. Let's go inside and talk."
"Agent Hill, you should come too. This has something to do with your S.H.I.E.L.D. as well."
By now, it did not matter much to him if he revealed some information to S.H.I.E.L.D.
That would save him from S.H.I.E.L.D. coming to bother him again over trivial matters later.
Only Sif from the guard squad followed Lu Xi into the villa. The other female warriors consciously dispersed to guard the villa's key positions.
The group took seats on the spacious sofas. Lu Xi cleared his throat and
