American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

The door opens.

Tony Stark stands at the door.

It looks like he just went through a big battle, still wearing his armor.

The surface of the armor is covered in scratches and black marks from the explosions caused by the bullets.

"Is S.H.I.E.L.D done?" Chu Xiu asks.

He only dealt with the core of the holy place and a few HYDRA bases with bright spots.

To be precise, he only dealt with the HYDRA bases that summoned the shadow demons.

As for the other HYDRA bases, Chu Xiu couldn't be bothered.

He left them all to S.H.I.E.L.D and the Avengers to deal with.

Now it seems that Tony Stark and the others have at least cleaned up the HYDRA inside S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Yeah, it's done," Tony Stark says.

"You don't know, these HYDRA guys almost infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D like a sieve."

"They even had some kind of insight plan. Luckily, only one of the three aircraft carriers was completed, otherwise it would have been a real fight."

While Tony is talking, he casually walks into the house.

As he walks, he boasts about his achievements this time.

"The aircraft carrier that took off, I flew directly into the control room and had J.A.R.V.I.S take over the Flight program."

"Haha, you should have seen the faces of those HYDRA members..."

Tony says, but when he turns around, he sees Odin sitting on the sofa.

He almost blurts out: Who is this old man?

"You must be Tony Stark, Thor mentioned you to me."

"I have to thank you for what happened with Loki last time."

Odin turns his head and smiles at Tony.

Tony is not stupid.

Seeing this old man calling Thor and Loki by name, and looking at his Nordic-style beard and hair, he immediately understands the other person's identity.

Thor's father, the king of gods, Odin!

"Um, well, I didn't know you had a guest."

"Chu Xiu, you go ahead, I'll come back next time."

Meeting such a big shot, Tony suddenly feels that his purpose here is a bit trivial.

He turns around and wants to leave.

"Enough, stop talking nonsense, just say what you want to do."

Chu Xiu stops Tony.

If there's something, just say it. Odin won't eat you.

Although there is someone upstairs who would love to "eat your flesh and sleep in your skin," Scarlet Witch.

"Well, it's about the same thing as before."

Tony, who is in a hurry to leave, doesn't beat around the bush.

He directly takes out the prepared share transfer agreement.

"15% of Stark Industries' shares, besides me, you will be the second largest shareholder of the board."

In order to recruit Chu Xiu, Tony spared no expense.

You see... Tony himself only holds 39% of Stark Group's shares!

The Iron Overlord Obadiah, who was defeated in the past, holds 25% of the shares, and the remaining 35% is held by investment institutions and individuals.

But these small shareholders hold no more than 5% of the shares.

After the Iron Overlord died, Tony bought most of his shares.

Now he is giving almost all of them to Chu Xiu.

"..."

Chu Xiu is a bit stunned by Tony's extravagant and heartless move.

Billions of dollars in assets!

Just giving them away?

"No, I don't understand."

"The Avengers are not your private organization."

"Spending billions of dollars out of your own pocket just to recruit people for a public institution, is it worth it?"

Chu Xiu really doesn't understand what Tony is thinking.

Working for free is one thing, but spending your own money to recruit people for your boss?

Even if you're rich, you shouldn't spend it like this, right?

"I..."

Tony is taken aback by the question.

It seems like he also realizes the absurdity of his actions.

But soon, this reckless playboy firmly sticks to his inner thoughts.

"It doesn't matter, money is not important."

"As long as the money spent is worth it."

"Chu Xiu, I sincerely invite you to join the Avengers."

Tony appeared calm.

But deep in his eyes, there was a profound fear.

Whether it was the Chitauri invasion, the second demon invasion, or the two battles in New York, they brought intense unease and fear to this seemingly indifferent rich second generation.

In short, his PTSD was getting worse.

"..."

After listening to Tony's words, Chu Xiu fell into silence.

Hundreds of billions!

In dollars!

If I refuse, will I be able to sleep at night?

But even though he said that...

In the end, Chu Xiu did not sign the contract.

He didn't want to join either S.H.I.E.L.D or the Avengers.

Even his temporary substitute position at the holy place of Kamar-Taj Asgardian was just temporary.

"Get lost, I'm annoyed just seeing you."

After cursing in frustration, Chu Xiu opened a portal and threw Tony along with the contract into it.

Billions of assets!

After throwing it away, his heart still ached.

...

Odin had been silently watching everything.

Until he saw Tony being 'invited' out.

Then he shook his head and smiled.

"This mortal, his future achievements are limitless."

Odin gave his evaluation of Tony.

As the king of Asgard.

This evaluation could be considered high.

"What?"

"You can also see the future?"

Chu Xiu sat back on the sofa angrily, feeling unhappy.

"No."

"But I have lived for over 5000 years, so I still have some ability to judge people."

Odin shook his head and said to Chu Xiu, "Not only him, but your future is also limitless."

"Alright, enough with the compliments."

"You didn't come all the way here just to praise me, right?"

Chu Xiu redirected the conversation back on track.

"Yes."

"I came for Hela."

"Unlike my two sons, Hela inherited too much of my arrogance and ambition from my youth."

"Her power comes from Asgard."

"Once she leaves the underworld and sets foot on Asgard's soil, her power will be endless."

Odin's one-eyed eye shone with wisdom.

As if he had foreseen some kind of disaster.

"Chu Xiu, I hope you can help me with a favor."

...

"Stop!"

"I don't like meddling in other people's family affairs."

Chu Xiu showed no interest in Odin's family dispute.

In fact...

If he had to meddle, he would prefer to help Hela.

The eldest princess of Asgard, Odin's hound, who helped the young Odin conquer the nine realms.

She perfectly inherited Odin's temperament from his youth, being ruthless to both enemies and allies.

But in the end...

Odin whitewashed himself as a benevolent king, while Hela became the criminal.

"Odin, if you want me to help suppress your daughter, you can leave now."

Facing Chu Xiu's order to leave.

Odin shook his head.

"No, I want you to help her."

...
