Chapter 214: Busy Autumn (2)

As the saying goes, if one does not plan ahead, they will have immediate worries, and the gods are no exception.

Thor was about to go crazy from Loki's insults. If it were before, even if he knew he couldn't beat Loki and knew that attacking his superior would likely result in being expelled by Heimdall, he would still fight Loki to the death.

But since coming to Earth, Thor understood one thing: objective facts cannot be changed by subjective actions. Failing an interview means failing, the company not accepting you means they won't accept you, not being able to find a job means you can't find a job. No matter how angry or resentful Thor was, it wouldn't make a difference.

During this time, Thor had encountered countless setbacks. Initially, his work as a warehouse worker was decent, but the pay was too low. After paying the rent, Thor had trouble even affording food and clothing.

He urgently wanted to find a higher paying job, but Hell's Kitchen was a terrible place to find work, so he had to look elsewhere.

Luckily, he had gotten along well with a group of Texas truck drivers while working in the warehouse. Thor learned some driving and car repair skills from them, so he found a job at a car repair shop near the southern part of Manhattan.

But this job was too far from his residence, so Thor had to find a new place to live. The only place he could afford and was close enough to his workplace was Loki's apartment.

Even if Loki had tricked him into coming and mocking him, Thor had no choice but to accept reality. If he couldn't make it to work on time and get paid, he would have to sleep on the road again.

It's unclear what Loki was thinking, but in the end, he opened the door for Thor. It's also unclear what their relationship was, but in the end, Loki rented the apartment to Thor.

There were many other apartments near the luxury apartment building where Loki lived, and across the street, SHIELD agent Hill was using a telescope to look over. Symbiote Phantom inside her complained, "I still think it's too risky for you guys to use Riot for research. Why not just send him back to the Klyntar planet and lock him up?"

"I don't know why you humans are so bold. Aren't you afraid of Knull's chaos power returning?" Hill shrugged and said, "You'll have to talk to the director about that. It's his plan, and I can't change anything."

Phantom was also very helpless. "Also, by monitoring the two princes of Asgard like this, won't you be resented by Odin, the king of gods? He is the master of the Nine Realms..."

"It's not that important, but don't tell me, those two princes are pretty handsome..." Hill put her hands on her waist and held the telescope, asking Phantom, "Who do you think is better looking? I prefer Loki a bit more, Thor has that macho look..."

Hill shrugged and said, "Maybe someone will like him, but he's not my type."

"I..." Phantom didn't know how to respond. Hill thought she was shy and said, "I can feel that you're more interested in Thor. Every time you mention him, your emotions seem to fluctuate. How about I introduce you guys?"

"No need!" Phantom shouted.

Suddenly, Hill put down her telescope, rubbed her eyes, and then looked through the window across the street again, saying with some confusion, "Am I seeing things? It looks like there's a fire in their room!"

Phantom had already covered Hill's body. She said, "You're not seeing things, there really is a fire."

In an instant, Hill appeared outside Loki and Thor's apartment door. She knocked and said, "Hello, are you there? I saw a fire in your room!"

There was a loud noise coming from inside the apartment, and after a while, Thor opened the door. His face was blackened, and he wiped it hard before saying, "We're fine! We'll take care of it right away!"

Another loud noise came from the kitchen, and thick smoke billowed out. Loki was directly choked out and coughed twice, telling Thor who was standing in front of him, "It's really on fire, put it out quickly..."

Thor covered his eyes, and pointed to the staircase where the fire-fighting equipment was located. "There's fire-fighting equipment in there. Just open it and use it."

After the fire was put out, although Hill was very curious about what had happened, she had no reason to stay, so she returned to her base to continue remote monitoring.

Less than an hour later, the glass of the room across from them was shattered by a violent explosion, and billowing black smoke came out from the room. Hill hurriedly went downstairs.

Loki walked quickly, his face blackened by the smoke, and Thor behind him was even more unrecognizable, almost turning into a little black man.

Thor hysterically yelled at Loki, "Look what you've done! You're the most incompetent fire god I've ever seen! If you hadn't used flames to ignite the gas stove, it wouldn't have exploded..."

Accompanied by the sound of the fire alarm, Loki was also very angry and said, "How was I supposed to know what was going on??? Controlling fire is a skill inherent in my profession. How was I supposed to know why the flame was burning the pipes out of control?"

"You already messed up once before!" Thor emphasized, "But you still insisted on doing this. Is your brain tied in knots?!"

Loki was so angry that he laughed. He never thought he would be mocked by Thor for being brainless. While they were arguing, a firefighter in uniform walked over and said, "You two are the owners of the fire-damaged house. What is your relationship?"

Neither of them spoke, and the firefighter looked at them both with a strange expression, then took out a notebook to register. "Regardless of your relationship, you need to come with us to the police station now. A major fire accident needs to be recorded..."

As the two princes were about to be taken away in a fire truck, Hill walked over, flashed her badge and said, "Agent, please cooperate."

Twenty minutes later, Natasha sat at her desk facing the two of them. Without looking up, she asked, "What are your names?"

"Thor Odinson," Thor said unkindly.

"Loki Odinson."

"Hey, you're not an Odinson! Only the firstborn of the god king can use the title of Odinson!"

"Can you shut up?" Loki rubbed his face and said fiercely to Thor, "I am a legitimate god now. You can't contradict me!"

Natasha knocked on the table and said expressionlessly, "Do you know that you caused a gas explosion in a densely populated high-end apartment? It can be classified as a terrorist activity conducted by aliens."

Loki gestured for Natasha to calm down with one hand and said, "I can explain. Here's what happened..."

Natasha propped her face up with one hand and made a face that said, "I want to see what you can come up with." She listened to Loki speak.

"I obtained the profession of fire god. Of course, I know that you humans don't understand how this profession system works, but literally speaking, a fire god should have the ability to control fire, right?"

After saying this, Loki felt that his words were too stupid, but seeing Natasha nod, he continued, "Human gas stoves should also be ignited with fire, so there's no problem, right?"

Natasha nodded again.

Thor interrupted, "But your fire control ability is like a pile of dog shit! We just needed a small flame to ignite the gas stove, but you created a fireball bigger than the refrigerator door..."

Loki completely ignored him and continued, "Theoretically speaking, the fire control ability inherent in the profession of fire god should be very perfect."

"So?" Natasha looked up at him.

Loki opened his mouth and looked at Natasha's beautiful face. He felt that his conclusion was a bit embarrassing in front of a beauty.

"But there is a slight difference between theory and reality..."

Natasha sighed and closed the file in front of her. "SHIELD allowed Thor to stay on Earth because he doesn't have any powers beyond ordinary humans, but you're different."

"I don't care what you are, whether you can't control your divine power or have made a mistake in casting spells, in short, you burned down human houses, scared the surrounding residents, and wasted fire alarm resources. In short, we have to send you back..."

"No! Wait!" Loki stood up and said, "I have a very important business this month! I just negotiated a big deal with Genius yesterday and I'm going to meet with the client soon. It's a big deal for Trust Bank. I can't just..."

Just then, Nick Fury pushed open the office door, with cigarette smoke emanating from his body and a crystal ball in his hand. The other three stared at him. Nick cleared his throat, spat out a mouthful of black cigarette, and said, "Put aside all other issues. Can you guys not be so rough when sending packages for Asgard?"

"Um... Did you get struck by lightning?" Natasha asked.

"Don't be like Coulson, always asking obvious questions," Nick replied.

Thor and Loki exchanged a glance, and Loki said, "This is the good quality of Asgard, simple, fast, and efficient, although it is a bit rough..."

Natasha walked up to Nick, and he handed her the crystal ball. Then he looked at Loki and said, "Since your father has already paid the deposit, we can temporarily overlook the trouble you caused. But you must promise us that there won't be a next time."

Loki raised his hand and said, "I won't use the power of the God of Fire again."

Natasha asked with some doubt, "But you're not just capable of that God of Fire power, and after the fire started, can't you use your magic to put it out?"

"I don't know what happened," Loki turned his head and looked to the side, saying with some confusion, "I couldn't control the fireball I created, and I also have some... I mean, some..."

Thor looked at his younger brother's expression and grinned, "Are you... afraid of fire?"
