" Lin Lie, how did you get thrown in here?"
Thor looked at the 68th Iron Fist successor with some curiosity.
"You know me?" Lin Lie, somewhat puzzled.
After being thrown in here by those TVA agents on trumped-up charges, he made a little money here through the fighting rings, so he opened a quiet bar to get some peace and quiet.
Under normal circumstances, his little shop rarely gets any customers. After all, in the Knowhere, most people's entertainment is watching fighting matches and participating in fighting arenas, rather than coming to his quiet bar to drink alone in peace.
He knew many people, but none of them recognized him. It was truly rare for Thor to recognize him simply by his clothes.
"Have we met in your universe?"
Lin Lie removed the yellow blindfold, revealing a handsome face.
"Never seen you before, but I know you, Lin Lie, the 68th generation successor of Iron Fist." Thor switched to Chinese to communicate with the other party.
"You speak Chinese?" Lin Lie was still taken aback when he heard his familiar mother tongue. How to describe the feeling of seeing a Northern Europe god of Thor speaking to him in fluent and accurate Chinese?
It just feels very out of place and strange.
"Of course, I've lived for so many years, I know a lot of languages."
Thor waved his hand dismissively, saying, "What's so strange about that? I don't even know how many alien languages I know, let alone my native tongue from my previous life."
"You're special, unlike anyone else I've ever met. So, what do you and your girlfriend want?"
Lin Lie pulled a menu from the bar and handed it to Thor.
Thor took the menu, glanced at it, and handed it to Betsy.
" Betsy, you decide. Whatever you want to drink is fine."
Lin Lie looked at the scene before him without saying a word, his eyes sweeping between the two of them a few times.
"Okay, the drinks here aren't cheap, but it's all Emma Frost's money anyway."
Betsy took the menu and glanced at it. Almost all the drinks on it were priced at less than three figures. No wonder this place was so deserted. As far as she knew, fifty thousand Frost was enough to buy a house in this residential area of the East End.
The purchasing power of the Frost currency seems to be about the same as that of the US dollar.
Fortunately, everyone in the Knowhere is a battle maniac, and the fighting tournaments every night are incredibly exciting. I heard that the Champion can win 5 million Frost.
Even if Emma Frost doesn't allow her to use her savings in the future, she can just let Thor go up and easily win a Champion, and then she'll have money again.
"Hmm... I'll have a ' Guixu ' and a ' Moon in the Water' as well. That'll be all for now."
Betsy couldn't find any drinks that interested her, so she just ordered two at random, paid, and sat down at a two-person table by the window.
"Okay, please wait a moment, it will be adjusted in about ten minutes."
Lin Lie walked behind the bar, took out his bartending tools, and prepared to start mixing drinks.
"You still haven't answered my question? I've met your predecessor Danny Rand, before. I'm really curious, what did you two do to get thrown in here?"
Thor was genuinely curious. After all, Iron Fist wasn't exactly a popular hero, and now he'd encountered two generations of him at once. If it weren't for his past life's fondness for playing the character "Lin Lie," he might not have recognized this guy at all.
"It's nothing. I just saved a small town that they believed should have been destroyed by demons, and then they came knocking on my door. And then, as you know, they used that device to stop time, and that's how I got in."
Lin Lie's tone was indifferent, as if he didn't care about what had happened to him at all.
"Okay, then you're in a bit of trouble. Luckily, I know the current head of the Time Variance Authority. Maybe I can send you home."
Thor was pondering something: was the Time Variance Authority truly necessary, or was it dispensable?
"Thank you for your kind words."
Lin Lie's voice wasn't as gentle and refined as Danny's; instead, it was strong and full of masculinity.
Thor sat down opposite Betsy, still pondering the question.
Loki's initial intentions were probably good, but his employees might not have been. Was it to control a future or to fear an uncontrollable one?
The answer is obviously self-evident.
He clearly remembered that the plot of the Deadpool and Wolverine movie involved Mr. Paradox, an employee of the TVA, doing things on his own.
I wonder if Lin Lie, that unlucky guy, was sent in by him.
"What? You're not spending your date with me, you're thinking about other people, and you're a man? When did you change your sexual orientation, Thor?"
Betsy crossed her arms on the table, rested her chin on them, and her tone changed slightly.
"I'm not gay, it's just that, normally, the Time Variance Authority shouldn't be arbitrarily cutting time anymore."
" Lin Lie was brought in a week ago. At that time, the new government should have been in power and the old government should have been fading away. Normally, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened, unless..."
"You mean to say that there's a rebellion among their employees? That shouldn't be your concern, right? Didn't you promise Emma Frost that you'd help her take down the Time Variance Authority?"
Betsy was a little confused about what Thor was struggling with.
"No, I'm just remarking that reality is really different from movies and TV shows."
The plots he knew were just movie scenes, but this is a living, complete multiverse. How could it possibly develop step by step according to a script?
Fortunately, his cheat code is quite powerful.
In addition to the laws of the Six Infinity Stones that he already possessed, his mastery of the laws of creation Oblivion of life elements has now been further refined, and he is probably close to complete mastery of them.
Thor even comprehended his own unique Law of Thunder based on the power of lightning he wielded, and even combined them with all the laws he possessed.
He is now fully capable of striking with lightning to instantly revive someone who has just died, or to apply special effects to enemies, such as freezing, erosion, space cutting, or time stopping.
With control, power, stats, and mechanics all in place, he's invincible except for truly overpowered monsters!
Your wine is ready, please enjoy.
Lin Lie brought over two glasses of wine, placed them on the table in order, said something, and then retreated behind the bar to close his eyes and rest.
" Thor, which one would you like?" Betsy asked, looking at the pale blue " Moon in the Water" and the distinctly fantastical " Guixu " on the table.
"Isn't that simple? You take a sip, I take a sip."
Thor answered without hesitation, "Everything that's going to happen has happened. We all know each other inside and out. Isn't this normal?"
Buzz--!
A pale blue spatial rift suddenly appeared beside the two of them, and Emma Frost stepped out from it, the crisp sound of her high heels jarring in the quiet bar.
" Thor Odinson, I remember we had a date tonight. I thought you should know how to write the word 'keeping your promise'?"
Emma Frost's gaze swept lightly over Betsy before returning to Thor. Her smile was faint, yet it was suffocating, as if the surrounding space itself were about to freeze.
"You stood me up and came here to drink and flirt with other people. Do you think I'm very patient, or do you think... you can handle the consequences?"
She gently placed her hand on Thor's shoulder, and her last words were spoken in a very low voice, carrying a hint of danger.
Now, come with me.
"Or do you want me to show you right here and now what the price is for displeasing me?"
