Chapter 1017: Be Prepared, and Facing a “Battle of the Gods”

Luke’s expression didn’t change when he noticed Darcy’s gaze. “You don’t seem to be eating much. Does it not suit your taste?”

Darcy shook her head. “No. Selina’s your partner. The two of you are very close.”

Luke didn’t think much of it. “That’s right, like we wear the same pants.”

Selina glared at him unhappily, as if to say, “Since when do we wear the same pants?”

Luke explained without prompting, “It’s a saying; it just means that we’re very close.”

Looking at the two communicating with their gazes alone, Darcy nodded blankly. “I got it.”

She was a university student, she could still figure something like this out.

Also, these two really were very familiar with each other… They didn’t really wear the same pants, right?

Tsk, tsk. Some strange images involuntarily popped up in her head.

No, that’s not right. Why am I thinking this? She shook her head and focused on her lunch.

After lunch, Luke sent her back to the makeshift housing.

Looking at Darcy, who was watching Luke’s car drive off, Selvig gave another deep sigh. It had only been two to three hours since she left, and she had already showered and changed clothes. She was indeed an impulsive youngster.

Darcy, on the other hand, mumbled inwardly, Does he like me or not? He let me go over to take a shower, but had that beautiful partner eat with us. In the end, he sent me back. What on earth does this mean?

For a moment, it was quiet in the makeshift housing.

Back at the ranch, Selina was examining the two modified pickup trucks in the tool shed.

When Luke returned, she simply asked, “What, smitten by the F-cup player?”

Luke said solemnly, “I don’t ask for much; a D-cup is already above average. I can also accept a B-cup.”

Selina couldn’t help but spit at him, but didn’t dwell on it.

Jenny was a B-cup player, and Luke didn’t mind.

More importantly, from the look on Darcy’s face, Selina knew that nothing had happened between her and Luke.

Changing the topic, she looked at the two pickup trucks in the tool shed and pointed at one of them. “Are you sure you want to use this?”

Luke nodded. “It’s better to be prepared. This thing… might not be enough.”

Selina was surprised. “This isn’t enough? Then what do you want? A ship cannon?”

Recalling the information he had just received at noon, Luke couldn’t help but shake his head. “That’s a ‘god’. The enemy he’s facing might not be an ordinary human being. I can’t come up with a ship cannon, and even if I could, it’s hard to find a suitable opportunity to use it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind giving it a try.”

Selina: “…”

She didn’t think Luke was joking.

Given his personality, he never liked to take things easy in battle. He would never leave any loose ends behind if he could tie them up neatly.

Also, since he said he wouldn’t mind giving it a try, that meant that he had indeed considered it.

Thinking that, her expression turned solemn. “Are we really going to get involved? What I mean is that if it’s a battle between ‘gods’, it shouldn’t have anything to do with us.”

Luke sighed. “But ‘gods’ don’t consider people’s feelings. They fight wherever they want. If they mess around elsewhere, I wouldn’t know or care. If they choose to fight here in Shackelford, however, I can only make my own preparations.”

Selina couldn’t think of anything to say.

This was her hometown, and her friends and neighbors were everywhere. She wouldn’t be able to take seeing the town she grew up in reduced to rubble.

More importantly, nobody knew how many people might die.

After all, it might be a “battle of the gods.” If Shackelford was turned into a huge pit, at least a thousand lives would be lost.

Thinking that, she got up and returned to Shackelford.

Luke grabbed Gold Nugget by the back of its neck and whispered into its ear, “Protect her. In a critical situation, you can ignore all restrictions; just make sure she survives.”

Gold Nugget: “Huh?” The past safety rules had never been this relaxed.

Luke patted its head. “When we’re done with everything this time, I’ll make you three delicious meals when we get back. Whatever you want.”

Gold Nugget whined and nudged Luke’s hand, and wagged its tail as it happily followed Selina.

Luke dared to give Gold Nugget such an order because he had enough confidence in himself.

With the amount of money he currently had, he could easily take on a completely new identity and live out his days comfortably elsewhere.

He could also make up for a lot of other issues.

The money he had and the arrangements he had made over the past few months were enough to reduce any repercussions from Gold Nugget and Selina being exposed to acceptable levels. Naturally, he had to release some of the safety restrictions on Gold Nugget.

The day passed peacefully.

Darcy called in the evening and asked when Thor could be released.

Luke simply texted Phil, and then told Darcy that it wouldn’t be long.

The guards finally brought Thor out at eight in the evening, and the four of them arrived at the ranch around nine.

Luke offered to let them use the communal shower at the ranch, and also gave two sets of his own clothes to Thor.

Luke was now 1.88 meters tall. His muscles weren’t as explosive as Thor’s, but his clothes still fit.

Dr. Jane clumsily took care of Thor. The female genius clearly wasn’t very good at taking care of people, but Thor dejectedly let her take care of him as he reverted back to a downhearted state.

Luke could only shake his head inwardly. While he was getting food for them, he pulled Darcy into the kitchen.

In the end, Darcy didn’t know what was going on with Thor. She only said that when he left the FBI base, he looked like he had nothing to live for.

Luke was certain that he hadn’t been interrogated.

Even if Thor’s right eye was black, that was from Luke, and that had been in a match, not a one-sided beating.

Even when Thor lost back then, he didn’t look as depressed as he did now, since he had only lost in this “weak” body of his.

Also, after talking to Luke, Phil wouldn’t do something so stupid. Instead, he left Thor to be bait.

Of course, what Phil was looking to catch wasn’t fish, but a “crazy horned b*stard.”

When the four of them returned to the makeshift housing and Dr. Jane and Thor chatted out in the wilderness at night, Thor finally said something — his father was dead.

Huh? Odin was dead? Looking at Thor’s sad expression on the drone feed, Luke couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

Did Odin die in the movie? That didn’t seem to be the case…

Although Luke couldn’t remember the details, it seemed that Thor had still been crown prince in the first Avengers movie during the Battle of New York.

That meant that Odin was still alive.

Odin was the ruler of the Nine Realms. It was impossible for his death to go unremarked.

So, Thor… had been tricked?
