Could it be that S.H.I.E.L.D. would have been able to find him at this time on their own and they had made a mistake hiring Blaine instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Blaine heard this thought, he would probably die laughing on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fury was right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki showed up to draw the attention of people like Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.—just to bait them. Why would he bother hiding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deliberately appeared in Stuttgart! Just to send a message to S.H.I.E.L.D.: I, Loki, am here. Come and catch me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Blaine, he would have been arrested eventually. That was part of his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was in charge of attracting S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention, while Hawkeye Barton was tasked with stealing the metal bowls from the nearby Shay Institute of Physics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Blaine... he definitely knew Loki was just a decoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what did that have to do with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine said his task was only to catch Loki. He had no obligation to handle what came next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just a little butterfly flapping its wings in the Marvel world, using his knowledge of the plot to make money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stuttgart\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 8 o'clock in the evening, the party officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melodious violin music played, and upper-class guests in dresses and suits held champagne and red wine as they chatted about the evening's agenda. The atmosphere was harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they didn't know was that beneath this harmony, two powerful forces were locked in a silent arm wrestle. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that undercurrents were surging. One wrong step, and they would be swept away—without even a trace left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the harmonious atmosphere shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki barged into the party in a suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hijacked a businessman and used a triangular device to \"copy\" his eye. At the same time, Barton accepted the transmission and opened the door to the institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the terrified mortals before him, Loki raised the scepter in his hand. Golden light bloomed from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash, his suit transformed into his divine attire: twin horns jutting from his head like a unicorn, a flowing green cloak, and an air of supreme arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the upper-class guests were driven into a small park outside the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of the scepter, a speeding taxi was blasted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kneel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki's cold voice echoed through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone present was a respected figure in society. How could they truly kneel just because Loki told them to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tried to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after only a few steps, another Loki appeared in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kneel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kneel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kneel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Loki clones appeared at each corner of the park, forming a square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki's true body stepped forward and slammed the scepter into the ground with force, roaring, \"Kneel! Now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four clones raised their glowing scepters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was instantly terrified. After the first person knelt, the rest followed one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the fear on their faces, Loki couldn't help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his arms as if he were already basking in the glory of ruling the Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't that simple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't that what you were born to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the unspoken truth of humanity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The illusion of freedom steals the joy of your lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You chase power and status, but in your bones, you're filled with servility. Sooner or later, you'll kneel to your rulers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he spoke, the wider Loki's smile grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the crowd kneeling before him, he thought to himself—'This is what I want. Power. Endless power'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, a white-haired old man stood up. Though hunched with age, he looked straight at Loki without fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But not to someone like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the old man hadn't spoken, his defiance alone would've been impressive. But once he spoke, his words were even more astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others looked at him with surprise and admiration. He had said what they all wanted to but were too afraid to voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am unique,\" Loki said, his smile fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are too many shameless people like you,\" the old man retorted. \"If we're talking about outfits, then yes—you might be unique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loki laughed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly raised the scepter in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at this old man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he aimed the scepter at him, blue energy rapidly gathering at its tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's your role model.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man's expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had expected this the moment he stood up, facing death still stirred a touch of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy blast condensed and shot out almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A circular, star-striped shield flew in from midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It intercepted the energy blast perfectly and struck the ground, bouncing the shot back at Loki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard by the sudden reversal, Loki was hit squarely by the blast and thrown to the ground in a sorry state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, two figures landed on the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wore a black trench coat and held a bow and arrow. The other wore a star-striped uniform that highlighted his muscular physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Blaine and Captain America, Steve Rogers, who had just arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I borrowed your shield earlier in the emergency,\" Blaine said, shrugging toward Steve Rogers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield hadn't been thrown by Steve—it was Blaine who had grabbed it from the fighter jet and thrown it to block the blast aimed at the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine,\" Steve Rogers replied, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the noble and righteous Captain America, he didn't care about such details. As long as people were saved, that was what mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaling, he crouched down and pulled the shield—half embedded in the concrete—with some difficulty, then looked at Loki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine, who had mind-reading abilities, could clearly sense what Steve thought about this. With a chuckle, he slowly drew back the Bow of Elements. A glowing arrow began to form, aimed squarely at Loki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moose Boy, your speech is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*************************************\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can get access to early chapters on patr*on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like my work and you want to support me then you can become my patron on patre*n.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My patr*on account is Lord_Immortal_0170\u003C\u002Fp>",1064,"2026-06-06T09:11:28.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","806cff1d16c149cb95fc65617d94bc6e1c6dc0911d2fce0948ae91f479a26b8e","marvel-hunter-chapter-107","marvel-hunter-chapter-105",411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-hunter-cover.jpg"]
