She and Cull Obsidian had only just been released by the Grandmaster and had not seen the moment when the two brothers turned against each other.
In their minds, threatening someone with the life of a loved one was always the most effective method.
Thor's spirits immediately lifted at those words.
"Really? I don't believe it..."
"He's the prince of Asgard. You'd never dare treat him like that."
Thor spoke with a proud expression.
"Wouldn't dare?" Proxima Midnight brought down her spear coldly.

"Mmgh! Mmghhh!"
Loki pointed at Thor in terror and frantically shook his head at Proxima Midnight.
"Speak! Where is the Tesseract?!"
Proxima Midnight demanded sharply.
"No! Don't stop! I mean, don't torture him anymore!"
Thor, who nearly burst out laughing, quickly buried his face in his knees and forcibly held back his laughter.
