Chapter 1088: Awkward

Lin Rui immediately realized that the damaged window he saw was the result of Thor summoning Mjlnir, which shattered the gla.s.s on the facing wall.

Thor had only cleaned up the mess but hadnt thought about replacing the window, perhaps because he couldnt afford to hire someone to do it. Besides, he didnt dare to mention it or contact the landlord, fearing a scolding.

Oh well Thor felt somewhat embarra.s.sed and attempted to explain when he saw that Lin Rui had noticed the situation with his window.

Exactly! This time its not just about you getting shocked. Who knows how far-reaching the effects are, Lin Rui frowned as he interrupted Thors explanation.

Indeed, looking out of Thors apartment window didnt reveal much, as it was daytime and the streetlights were originally turned off. However, Lin Rui could hear the complaints of nearby residents about the sudden power outage. With Lin Ruis abilities, he could even hear the complaints of people kilometers away.

Uh really? Well Thors embarra.s.sment deepened upon hearing Lin Ruis words.

Ignoring Thors awkwardness, Lin Rui took out an earphone from his pocket and placed it in his ear. Then, he began contacting Jerry at the League of Defenders base.

Jerry, can you check the situation regarding the widespread power outage in the Queens area? Yeah Ill wait for your response Is that so? Alright, thanks. After contacting Jerry, Lin Rui received a prompt reply.

How is it? Whats the situation outside? Thor anxiously asked after Lin Rui finished his conversation with Jerry.

Its nothing. The power is out within a five-kilometer radius. Except for military factories and a few large corporations, the electricity systems in residential buildings and public facilities have all collapsed, Lin Rui calmly responded to Thors inquiry.

Lin Rui wasnt surprised by the result. When Mjlnir was still in New Mexico, it had caused multiple power outages at a s.h.i.+ELD research facility.

Now that Mjlnir had returned to Thors possession, but he still couldnt control it properly, even a slight release of its power was enough to cause significant damage in New York City, an international metropolis.

What should we do? Wont someone come after me for this?! Thor nervously walked to the window, his head extended to get a glimpse of the outside.

With such a widespread power system failure, the power department will definitely investigate the cause. Perhaps they have already identified the reason behind this malfunction, Lin Ruis gaze flickered, and his tone suddenly became much more serious.

Ah?! With such a ma.s.sive power outage, the resulting losses must be substantial. I cant afford to pay for that! Thor became even more anxious upon hearing Lin Ruis serious tone.

Although Thor had already completed his father Odins test and recovered his ident.i.ty as the Crown Prince of Asgard, he was still just a struggling person on Earth, living paycheck to paycheck. After several months on Earth, Thor had gradually integrated into life on this planet.

No, we cant wait for them to come knocking on our door! Jackson, lets get out of here quickly! Without waiting for Lin Rui to say anything, Thor briskly walked over from the window and grabbed his arm, ready to leave the apartment.

Hey! Dont panic! I was just teasing you! Lin Rui held onto Thor and prevented him from leaving, laughing as he spoke.

Upon hearing Lin Ruis words, Thor immediately stopped in his tracks. However, there was still an element of disbelief in his eyes as he looked at Lin Rui, knowing the magnitude of the consequences caused by such a widespread power failure.

Rest a.s.sured, nothing will happen. Your current ident.i.ty is known not only to me but also to s.h.i.+ELD and Tony. Although this widespread power outage has caused some damage, n.o.body will come after you for it. s.h.i.+ELD will handle it for you, Lin Rui explained with a smile, seeing Thors perplexed and distrustful gaze.

Ever since the Dark Elves invaded Earth and Asgard dispatched powerful reinforcements, Thors ident.i.ty had ceased to be a secret. As long as Thor didnt engage in any wrongdoing on Earth, s.h.i.+ELD could effectively resolve simple property damages like this.

Really? Thor released his grip on Lin Ruis hand and continued to ask, still not entirely convinced.

If you dont believe me, you can wait and see, or should I ask for you? Lin Rui replied, sensing Thors lingering doubts.

Given Lin Ruis familiarity with s.h.i.+ELD, he could quickly receive a response by asking them.

Well

h.e.l.lo, is this Agent Coulson? Its Mirage Knight Yes, I wanted to ask about While Thor remained indecisive, Lin Rui resolutely dialed Agent Coulsons contact number at s.h.i.+ELD.

Oh, you will handle it? Thank you very much!! As Lin Rui had expected, Agent Coulson a.s.sured him that s.h.i.+ELD would take care of the situation and prevent any trouble from reaching Thor.

Now, you can relax. Take care of your appearance first. Who would be scared of you with your disheveled hair? Lin Rui reminded Thor with a hint of helplessness, hanging up the phone. He wasnt here to solve Thors small problems.

Alright, Ill take a shower. Feel free to make yourself at home. With the a.s.surance that no one would come looking for him, Thor finally felt at ease and headed toward the bathroom after uttering those words.

Bang!

As Lin Rui watched Thors disheveled figure enter the bathroom and close the door, he surveyed the equally messy living room and couldnt help but sigh. Sitting casually was out of the question; finding a spot to stand was already a luxury.

With a sigh, Lin Rui had no choice but to get to work and tidy up the chaotic living room for Thor. Of course, he wouldnt touch Mjlnir, which lay in the corner of the room.

Whoos.h.!.+

Soon, the sound of running water from the shower filled the bathroom.

While Lin Rui helped Thor clean up the living room, back at the s.h.i.+ELD headquarters in Was.h.i.+ngton, Agent Coulson ended the call with a helpless expression on his face. After receiving a call from Mirage Knight, Coulson learned that their S-cla.s.s individual had caused a significant problem in New York.

In order to demonstrate s.h.i.+ELDs sincerity, Coulson a.s.sured Mirage Knight over the phone that they would resolve the situation. He had already arranged for s.h.i.+ELD agents in New York to take care of it.

Ah Wasnt Mirage Knight severely injured and unconscious just a few days ago? Why is he causing trouble as soon as he wakes up Coulson muttered helplessly while observing the busy activity of the elite agents in the headquarters.
