Chapter 197: The Adventures of Thor (Part 2)
"I think... we might have encountered some trouble." Peter turned his head and said to Thor beside him.
Because now, they were facing these few fierce-looking little thugs. This group of people was very common in the arcade, the kind of street hooligans who extorted lower-grade students.
The group Peter encountered had six or seven people. They were clearly habitual offenders. Taking advantage of the shop owner going in to get stock from the back door, they went straight to Peter, who was closest to the door.
"Look at this, how come there's still a poor little thing bringing his dad to a place like this? What, did you lose so miserably at fighting games that you cried and went back to find your parent?"

"Hahahahaha!"
Although they looked older than Peter, in reality, Spider-Man, who had experienced so many things, was much more mature than them. He shrugged and said, "No matter how good or bad I am at games, at least I don't have to be here extorting others with pretense."
The blonde thug leader was just about to get angry when the lackey beside him said, "Look, he's even wearing a Captain America commemorative T-shirt. This must be a pirated one. He made it so dirty, a poor kid who crawled out of a mud pit. Forget it, let's change to someone else..."
Peter only felt they were childish, but Thor couldn't stand their arrogant attitude. He waved his fist and said, "Didn't your parents teach you to speak more politely?!"
In Thor's concept, Peter was a kid, and he was an adult. Now this group of people was clearly trying to bully a kid, so he should protect Peter.
"Where did you come from, you bumpkin? Your accent is heavier than a sheepdog from a rural farm. Get back to your farm and plow the fields, stop wandering around New York!"
Thor couldn't understand what he was scolding, but he knew it definitely wasn't anything good. The Prince of Xiangong didn't have no temper. He raised his fist and was about to beat someone up.
The few little thugs on the opposite side also set up their stance, preparing to gang up on him.
Although Thor was tall and strong, those few little thugs who dared to extort weren't bad either. Two of them were close to Thor in height, both approaching two meters, so they weren't afraid of him.
"Wait! Thor, don't fight here, there are..."
Before Peter's words fell, several people had already fought into a ball.
The battle-hardened Xiangong warrior was of course not something these few street thugs could compare to. He first threw a punch, knocking down a shorter thug on the left, then immediately bent down, dodged the hook punch of the big guy on the right, and kicked him in the stomach, kicking him flying out.
As a result, the blonde thug leader didn't follow the rules of martial arts and picked up a chair from the side, smashing it down at Thor's head. Just at this moment, Peter grabbed his wrist and threw the chair in his hand flying out.
"Stop fighting! Don't..."
Next, Thor also picked up a chair and swung it directly at the opponent. The opponent didn't show weakness and pushed over the game console in front. Thor dodged backward, stumbled two steps, and then threw the chair at that person.
He threw it very accurately. That person was directly hit by the chair onto the game console behind him. The game console fell to the ground with a sound, and several machines beside it were also implicated.
Among them, there was a student of an even younger grade sitting in front of one. When the game console fell, he didn't have time to dodge and was directly pressed underneath.
That kid let out a miserable scream. Peter hurriedly ran over, lifted the game console, and saved him, only to find that his arm had just hit the table of the game console and was somewhat fractured.
At this time, with a "bang" of a gunshot, the arcade owner returned, and that group of thugs fled at the sound, leaving only Peter and Thor, who were helping to save people.
"Look at the good deeds you've done!" The owner walked over fiercely. Peter stood in front of Thor, blocking Thor, who wanted to fight the owner.
"Sorry, boss! We didn't mean it. They wanted to extort us, we were just fighting back. We will compensate for your losses, but can you help fix this child's arm? He seems to have a bit of a fracture..."
Peter was a regular customer here. When the owner saw it was him, he didn't say anything more. Finally, Peter paid the money and then sent the child to a clinic in Manhattan, helping him pay the medical expenses.
When the child's parents rushed over, Peter also apologized to them. Although the other party didn't pursue it, they were clearly very unhappy, treating Peter as that kind of bad kid who fights and brawls, and didn't give him any good looks.
When coming out of the clinic, Thor was furious. He said, "Your Earth simply has no rules! That gang of villains who wanted to bully people didn't receive punishment, but the result was you paying money. If it were in Xiangong..."
"What would happen in Xiangong? I guess it must be that they would rush to apologize to you, whether it was the perpetrator, or the child who was implicated, or their parents, they would definitely come to your door to apologize, but that's because you are a prince..."
Thor listened half-understandingly again. He said to Peter, "That's because I was right, I stopped that gang from bullying others!"
"But you also implicated the innocent. Before you made a move, I warned you that you couldn't fight there. That arcade has many elementary school students. Once a fight starts, there will definitely be children who get hurt..."
"I was upholding justice!"
Peter sighed. His tone was somewhat complex as he said, "I really didn't expect that one day I would persuade others like this, clearly I used to think this way too."
"But later I discovered that doing good deeds also requires methods. Blindly upholding justice is no different from causing destruction. It's hard to get good results, and it might even cause a pile of trouble, and in the end, it's still others who come to clean up the mess for me."
Peter looked at Thor and said, "I know you are the Prince of Xiangong, your parents can definitely handle the trouble you cause, and my friends are the same, there's no trouble they can't handle."
"But I discovered that I can't always run off to uphold justice so recklessly, then hurt the innocent, cause a pile of messy trouble, and then let others wipe my butt. This will make me a burden to others."
"Upholding justice?" Thor looked Peter up and down, seemingly very disbelieving that this small frame of his could uphold justice.
Peter also understood Thor's look. He sighed, stopped his steps, and Thor also stopped following him. Peter glanced at the intersection where he was standing, where a large truck was parked.
The tires of this heavy truck were almost taller than Peter, but Peter stretched out one hand, grabbed the groove of the truck's tire, and lifted it up lightly. The tire on the side of the truck directly left the ground by dozens of centimeters.
Thor stared with wide eyes. Peter let go, the truck landed, and the ground shook along with it. Thor walked up and lifted it up using the same method, but the truck didn't move at all, indicating that this truck was really heavy for ordinary people.
He scratched his head, full of doubt, and said, "How long has it been since I came, have human cubs evolved to this point?"
"Cubs? I'm not a cub! I've already gotten my driver's license, and I even have a girlfriend!"
Thor "snorted" and said, "Your body type is a cub in Xiangong, and the kind of kid who isn't even 300 years old."
"3... 300 years old??" Peter opened his mouth wide in surprise. He asked Thor, "Then how old are you?"
"Me? Fine, I'm not old either, not even 1600 years old."
Peter swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Fine, in this aspect, you guys really win. I'm only 16 this year."
"I know I can't compare the lifespan of Xiangong people with Earthlings, but according to the proportional conversion, you are still a kid."
"But compared to me, you are more childish." Peter explained to Thor, "I know, that gang of little thugs is very annoying, getting beaten up is what they deserve. If it were before, I definitely would have beaten them up fiercely without asking why to vent my anger."
"But during this period, I thought a lot." Peter sighed and said, "This kind of thinking is actually a bit irresponsible. Although I felt happy beating them up, the arcade owner was innocent. He had several machines broken. Even if I paid the money, he still had to spend time and energy to replace the machines again, rearrange them, and might even have to close for a day to clean up the mess."
"Not to mention that child who was implicated. His right arm was fractured, his parents had to stay home to take care of him and couldn't go to work, and they might even get scolded by their boss because of this."
"If I substituted myself for that child, my uncle would definitely be very angry, and my aunt would also ache with tears."
"And a fracture is really painful. If I were implicated for no reason, I would definitely feel both wronged and angry..."
"You think too much." Thor was still straightforward and said, "As long as what I do is right, the All-Father will definitely support me. I am..."
Speaking of this, Thor stopped himself. He sighed, and then said with an indignant tone, "What I did was clearly right, why doesn't my father understand me? And even threw me..."
"I can tell that you are actually a very righteous person. I feel we are very similar, both wanting to do good things with a heart full of blood, so I can understand your current thinking very well, because I used to think this way too."
"Then how do you think now?" Thor looked at Peter.
Conversing with Peter, who wasn't older than him and looked very thin and weak, didn't put as much pressure on Thor, allowing him to temporarily break free from the rebellious psychology of arguing with his father.
The main reason he couldn't communicate normally with Earthlings was that his language was a bit unintelligible, and the other was that he was very dissatisfied and aggrieved by his father throwing him out of the house. Even if he was a Xiangong person, once he fell into extreme emotions, he couldn't listen to other people's words.
But Peter always carried a kind of positive, highly infectious sunny temperament. This temperament made people feel that there seemed to be no difficulty in this world that couldn't be overcome, and also made it easier for people to get rid of some negative emotions.
"I feel that talking to you is a bit strenuous, ah, of course, I'm not mocking your accent, just stating a fact."
"And I don't think the old me could listen to long-winded big principles. How about this, I'll take you to a friend of mine, his name is Matt. It was his behavior that inspired me, and I think it will definitely be helpful to you too."
Saying this, Peter was about to pull Thor forward. Thor walked while shouting loudly, "I am the Prince of Xiangong, there is nothing that must be solved by relying on humans, I can..."
"Fine, fine, but just now we solved a trouble together, we should count as friends, right? Are you going to refuse a friend's invitation?"
Peter said while releasing Pikachu from his schoolbag. Pikachu had also watched the whole process. He said to Thor, "Big guy, I have to say, you weren't bad when you beat up those few rotten people just now, especially that punch you gave the brown-haired one..."
Pikachu waved his short arms, imitating the way humans box, and said, "It can be seen that you have practiced. That thug flew out directly. He definitely won't dare to come to this arcade next time!"
This remark just scratched Thor's itch. He said, "People all think that what I am best at is using a war hammer and a spear, but actually my boxing is very strong, it's just that there's no chance to show it."
"If you ask me, in the whole of Xiangong, besides my father, my boxing is the best!"
Peter also became interested. He said to Thor, "Those few moves of yours are indeed quite handsome, not quite the same as human boxing, more like the kind of moves I saw in movies. Can you teach me? I also want to look a bit more handsome when I fight!"
"This is simple, I'll teach you two moves in a while, guaranteed that when you face those soft-legged shrimp, you'll be able to beat them to pieces!"
