"Do you know Alex Ray" Reed asked
When Loki heard the name, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth, but a barely perceptible fear flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He pretended to be calm and replied, "I don't know him. How could I remember the name of a mortal?" Although Loki acted so disdainful, Reed keenly caught the hesitation in his tone and the fear in his eyes.
He was moved and continued to test: "You may not know Alex Ray, but I know your brother has a deep friendship with him. Alex Ray and I are not in the same business, so I think we may be able to reach some kind of cooperation." Reed said confidently, believing that his analysis would not be wrong.
He had already seen that Loki and Alex Ray were definitely not in the same group.
Loki didn't show much interest in Reed's proposal.
He glanced at Reed coldly and was about to continue. To him, this answer was obviously not enough to satisfy him. "Cooperation? Why do you think you are qualified to cooperate with me? Do you think you will cooperate with ants?" Loki mocked.
Reed was not angered by Loki's words. He responded calmly: "But a large number of ants can crush an elephant. Although we are not as strong as you, we are not powerless to fight back. Moreover, I believe we have the same goals and enemies."
Loki frowned slightly after hearing what Reed said.
He was indeed curious about what Reed had said regarding common goals and enemies.
But he did not express his opinion immediately and continued to swing his staff at Reed.
At this moment, Kaito Daiki suddenly blocked Loki's attack.
He easily blocked Loki's magic light waves, as if all this was within his expectations.
"What? Are you going to betray me?" Loki asked in surprise when he saw that Kaito Daiki blocked his attack.
Kaito Daiki shook his head and said lightly, "No, no, I just think it would be more interesting to keep them. After all, wouldn't a show without opponents be too boring?"
After hearing what Kaito Daiki said, Loki couldn't help but feel inexplicably irritated.
He didn't like the feeling of being controlled, but he also knew that now was not the time to fall out with Kaito Daiki. This sudden change made Pierce and Reed feel a little confused, but more of a relief.
They knew they were safe for the time being.
"Thank you for your rescue, sir," Reed said respectfully, at the same time trying to win over this unruly man.
Although Reed couldn't tell the strength of the man in front of him, he had to admit he was no ordinary person since he could easily and casually resist Loki's attack.
Moreover, it seemed that the man and Loki were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but more like equals.
Kaito Daiki did not speak, but just looked at Loki and said: "There is no scent of treasure here. Where is the treasure you are talking about?"
Loki closed his eyes when he heard Kaito Daiki's words, then opened them after a moment and muttered to himself, "No, there is clearly the energy of a Space Stone here."
"Space Stone? What is this?" Reed was moved when he heard the name. Although he didn't know the specifics of the Space Stone, his intuition told him it must be a very important treasure.
"Sir Loki, although I don't know what the Space Stone is, I know a treasure called the Cosmic Cube was once taken from S.H.I.E.L.D. I wonder if that is the Space Stone you are talking about," Reed said hurriedly, his voice full of anticipation.
When Loki heard the word "Cosmic Cube," his eyes suddenly lit up.
He stared at Reed closely, as if to confirm the truth of what he said.
"Yes, the Cosmic Cube is indeed the Space Stone," Loki said affirmatively. "You said it is in Alex Ray's hands now?"
Loki frowned, as if thinking of a strategy.
He understood that if the Space Stone was really in Alex Ray's hands, it would be much more difficult to take it back. Although he was powerful, facing an opponent like Alex Ray carried risks.
"Yes, this Space Stone is indeed in Alex Ray's hands," Reed said firmly.
After hearing Reed's answer, Loki was silent for a moment. He knew he couldn't act rashly. With his strength, he was not enough to fight Alex Ray alone.
His strength was insufficient; it seemed he had to find Thanos.
Thinking of this, he looked toward Kaito Daiki.
Although Kaito Daiki had just betrayed him, Loki didn't care, or rather he had no choice.
After all, Loki and Kaito Daiki were of similar strength, and Loki needed him now.
The two had been using each other from the beginning, so there was no question of betrayal.
If it would benefit him, Loki would betray Kaito Daiki at the first opportunity.
What's more, with Kaito Daiki's dimensional abilities, they could move more confidently when facing Thanos.
Without Kaito Daiki's dimensional wall, they could only retreat slowly.
"Let's go," Loki said calmly, ruthlessness and cunning in his eyes.
Seeing this, Kaito Daiki didn't say much. He opened the dimensional wall, and the two tacitly ignored the fight they had just had.
Loki left S.H.I.E.L.D. with Crossbones.
Their figures disappeared into the dimensional portal, leaving only silence and chaos behind.
After the two left, Pierce breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew they had escaped this time.
Soon his face turned gloomy.
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. almost died inside S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Is this ridiculous?
This was simply a disgrace!
"Damn Alex Ray, damn Loki!" Pierce cursed inwardly.
Now he understood what was going on.
This Loki came because of some Space Stone, and he tracked here relying on its residual energy.
In other words, he took the blame for Alex Ray!
This time, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s misfortune was all because of Alex Ray! Pierce was filled with anger and resentment.
He swore that he would make this damn Alex Ray and this so-called Loki pay the price they deserved!
. . . . . .
"Aqiu! Which bastard is thinking about me?" Alex Ray sneezed and cursed.
"Please continue with Master Splinter," Alex Ray said, pointing to the humanoid rat sitting opposite him.
