Chapter 51 The Secret to Hydra's Wealth
It's unclear where Thor got his unfounded confidence in Loki, but he actually believed Loki's lies without question.

Du Mu was too lazy to persuade him anymore; perhaps this was just a bit of fun between the two brothers.

Just then, Coulson suddenly opened the door to the solitary confinement cell and said to Saul, "Someone has come to get you. You can leave now."

"Can you go?"

Thor scratched his head in surprise and followed Coulson out.

"Hey, Dr. Donald, I'm here to take you back."

The person who came to pick up Thor was an astrophysicist named Sylvig. He helped Thor forge a false identity to deceive S.H.I.E.L.D., but little did he know that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system had already seen through it.

But Coulson didn't point it out, letting Sylvig take Thor away.

Clint watched the two figures disappear into the distance and asked, "Are we just going to let them go like that?"

"There's no point in keeping Saul locked up here."

Coulson calmly replied, "Let's see what they're planning to do first, Agent Dumu. You'll be in charge of monitoring them from now on."

"Row."

Du Mu, who didn't want to be stuck with that hammer all the time, readily agreed.

As he walked out of the base, he bumped into a familiar bald man.

"Hey, isn't this Agent Sitwell?"

Du Mu stepped forward to greet him; the bald man was none other than the Sitwell agent he had met in Pierce's office.

[NPC: Sitwell]

[Favorability: -30]

[Evaluation: Member of Hydra]

"It's you."

Upon seeing Du Mu's arrival, Sitwell's expression was as if he had just eaten a magic pill.

Clearly, he already knew that Du Mu had stolen his wallet.

Du Mu said warmly, "Don't be so formal. We're family."

Sitwell narrowed his eyes and said warily, "I know we're both part of S.H.I.E.L.D., but we don't seem to know each other very well."

"Stop pretending."

Du Mu pursed his lips, then casually put his hand on Sitwell's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"Long live Hydra!"

Sitwell froze abruptly, hurriedly looking around to make sure no one was watching before letting out a sigh of relief.

He glared angrily at Du Mu: "Are you crazy! What if we get exposed by saying this in a place like this?"

Du Mu revealed a displeased expression: "Why aren't you responding to the slogans? Are you perhaps an SHIELD mole hidden within Hydra?"

As he spoke, he pulled out the Golden Desert Eagle from his pocket.

Sitwell: "Long live Hydra!"

"Very good, you're one of us."

With a flick of his wrist, Du Mu's golden Desert Eagle vanished.

Sitwell's lips twitched.

If he weren't outmatched by Du Mu, he would have turned against him long ago.

Du Mu adopted a serious expression: "I have an important task for you now, and I need your cooperation."

Sitwell asked in confusion, "Cooperate with what?"

"It's simple, just hand over your car and your wallet."

"."

Sitwell was bewildered.

What task would require his wallet?

Before he could speak, Du Mu whispered, "Long live Hydra!"

Sitwell: "Long live Hydra!"

One of Hydra's ironclad rules is to stay out of trouble, which is precisely the secret to their years of infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. without revealing their presence.

As long as the slogan is shouted, they are one of us and must cooperate unconditionally.

Since Du Mu had already recited the slogan, Sitwell had no choice but to reluctantly hand over his car keys and wallet.

Sitwell watched Du Mu's departing figure, his mood utterly terrible. This was inexplicable; it felt like he'd been robbed.
Having discovered the secret to Hydra's wealth, Du Mu drove his car from Sitwell to the town of Puente Antique, dozens of kilometers away.

He didn't go looking for Saul immediately, but instead found a hotel to stay in first.

Well, the accommodation fee naturally came from Sitwell's wallet as well.

The next day, Du Mu found Saul in the town.

The Thunder God was sitting in a pizzeria, enjoying his meal with a satisfied expression.

Whether it was Du Mu's imagination or not, he felt that Thor seemed a bit rounder than when he first met him.

But thinking about it, it's normal. After all, Thor eats five meals a day in solitary confinement, and every meal is high-calorie fried food. Plus, Thor is now just a mortal, so it's reasonable for him to gain weight.

Beside Saul, besides Sylvie from last night, there was a long-haired woman and a bespectacled girl who looked like she was destined for poverty.

Du Mu walked straight into the pizzeria, pulled up a chair, sat down at their table, and unceremoniously picked up a slice of pizza and started eating.

“Hey, this is our pizza,” the girl with glasses immediately protested.

While eating his pizza, Du Mu said with a smile, "You forged information to take away the suspect, so I have the right to arrest you all."

Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately realized Du Mu's identity.

The long-haired woman named Jane frowned and questioned, "Your S.H.I.E.L.D. stole our research equipment and experimental data first! Now you want to arrest us? Is this how domineering your S.H.I.E.L.D. is?"

"Yes!"

"."

Upon seeing Du Mu's straightforward admission, the three of them were instantly speechless.

They had expected Du Mu to at least offer some explanation, but he didn't even bother to pretend.

Thor, on the other hand, was quite unreserved. Upon seeing Du Mu's arrival, he asked in a casual manner, "Du Mu, you're here! What can I do for you?"

Du Mu: "It's nothing serious, we were just sent to monitor you."

Is it so direct?

The three of them were speechless, unsure whether to continue the previous topic.

But they soon discovered that Du Mu seemed to have no real intentions and was simply there to freeload.

So the group grew bolder and started talking about their first encounter with Thor. They all thought Thor was mentally ill and, in a panic, tasered him with a Taser.

Du Mu nodded as he ate.

It's common knowledge that Thor is afraid of electricity, which makes perfect sense.

After that, Saul was taken in and kept by Jane, who took care of all his needs, including food, clothing, and shelter.

Of course, not everyone can do this; first, you need to have Thor's looks and physique.

If Thor were even a little less handsome, he'd probably be sent to a mental hospital the next day, only to be able to brag to his fellow patients that he's the god of thunder, only to find that the people in the next bed are all Hephaestus, Zeus, Apollo, and Poseidon.
Just as the group was chatting enthusiastically, a knocking sound suddenly came from the glass.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw four oddly dressed men and women standing outside the pizzeria, waving excitedly at Saul.

Upon seeing the visitor, Solton immediately stood up excitedly.

"My friends, what brings you here!"

Du Mu glanced at the information of the four people and found that they were all warriors from Asgard: the Warriors Three of Asgard, Hogan, Fandral, and Volstagg, as well as the female warrior Sif.

Sif said seriously, "Thor, we're here to take you back to Asgard!"

Thor paused for a moment, then shook his head: "You know I can't go back because my mistakes caused Asgard to go to war with Jotunheim, and my father died as a result. I must continue to be exiled."

When he got to the sad part, Thor's eyes filled with tears, and he took a few more big bites of pizza.

Upon hearing Thor's words, Sif and the others showed expressions of surprise.

"Thor, who told you the King of the Gods is dead? He's just in a deep slumber."

"My father isn't dead?"

Thor was shocked, even freezing in his pizza-eating motion: "But Loki clearly told me that my father was dead!"

“Loki deceived you!” Sif said, frowning.

She then briefly recounted everything that had happened in Asgard after Thor's banishment.

Listening to Sif's account, Thor realized that he had been deceived by Loki.

Thor asked in astonishment, "So, Loki didn't kill millions of Frost Giants?"

Du Mu: "."

Dude, is that the point?
