"Damn, what did you say?!"
"I said you're fired, you should get out! Do you understand?"
The owner of the garage picked up a few dollars and threw them in Thor's face, saying, "Go away! Texan, this money is enough for you to find a garbage dump to live in again!"
Thor couldn't stand it anymore, so he took a step forward, but the owner of the garage directly picked up a gun from the side, pointed the black muzzle at Thor, and said: "Stop causing trouble for yourself! You Damn stupid cow, don’t think that waving your fists will do anything, do you know what this is?”
Of course Thor has seen human firearms. When he went to S.H.I.E.L.D., he saw agent training and knew how much harm this weapon can cause to ordinary people. But now he is no different from ordinary people. Once he is shot, I definitely have to go to the hospital.
He stared at the owner of the garage with his eyes. Just when the boss was about to continue taunting him, he caught the moment he raised his head and Thor kicked him on the wrist, and then kicked him again. He punched the boss in the stomach, knocking him to the ground, and then hammered him hard on the neck.
The employees in the garage heard the noise and ran out and shouted: "Don't! Thor! Don't..."
Several employees grabbed the angry Thor, and one of them, a somewhat stooped old man, said: "Thor! For my sake, don't do this!"
"This damn bastard killed Benjamin! He also fired Lauren and John! He didn't even pay them!" Thor yelled angrily.
The old man held Thor's shoulders and said, "Listen, Thor, I know you mean well, and I know you want to save Benjamin, but this is the way the world is, and this is how we are..."
He turned around and pointed at the garage owner who was knocked unconscious on the ground, and said: "He has money, he can hire a lawyer, and he can even bribe the police. Once he calls the police, you are finished, you know?"
"Old White!"
"Leave quickly, Thor." Old White sighed and said, "We all know that he is a bastard, a complete vampire, who deducts our wages at will, assigns difficult night shifts to those he does not like, and even Threatening us with a gun..."
Thor looked at Old White. Old White was a senior who took great care of him when he first came to the car repair shop. Old White was willing to explain in detail to him many technical issues that he did not understand. Thor knew that Old White is a good person.
But now, the vertical ravines on the old man's face are like dry land, and the rough lines on his skin show his age. Under the curved eyebrows, the eyes are looking straight at Thor, and Thor sees it from inside. plead.
"If you cause trouble here, the garage will definitely close down, and we will have nowhere to go. He pays us a salary once a week, but if we don't work for three days this week, he won't get a penny. It will be given to us.”
"My grandson is still in school and he needs living expenses. My son and daughter-in-law can't earn that much money, Thor..."
"You are still young, strong, and in good health. You can always find a hard-working job, but we can't."
Old White turned around and looked around. Thor also followed him and looked at his colleagues. Most of them were not strong enough and were a little thin. Long-term day and night reversal and irregular diet had left them in poor health and complexion. Not good.
"The people who stay here are people who have nowhere to go, Thor." The old man took out a few dollars from his washed and faded work clothes and said, "I know he didn't pay you enough. I only have so much, take this money and find a new job, don’t cause trouble, please.”
Thor looked at him and was silent for a while, then walked to the side of the boss he knocked down. Several other colleagues looked at him with a little fear, as if they were afraid that he would suddenly make a move.
They squatted next to the boss, a little timid, not daring to look directly into Thor's eyes. Thor knew, and they knew in their hearts, that they should not defend this boss, but they had no choice.
Thor no longer paid attention to the garage owner who fell on the ground. Instead, he passed him and walked to the place where they first clashed. He squatted down and picked up a few dollars thrown by the owner. Then he walked back, He handed the money to Old White and said, "You're right, I'm still young and can find a new job, and I still have..."
Thor paused and said: "...I still have my brother to help me. I don't have to pay rent for the time being. You can take the money as I thank you for what you have taught me in recent times."
The old man's stretched out fingers were thin and rough, like tree branches with fallen leaves. His fingertips were trembling a little, not sure whether it was because of emotion or because he was too old.
He took the money and said in a more choked tone: "I don't want to do this either... I really want to tell the police that it was this bastard who killed Benjamin. He knew clearly that Benjamin had a bad heart, and knew that he had already suffered from several consecutive night shifts. , so tired that he couldn’t even speak, but he still deliberately assigned him the night shift and let him do the heaviest work. We all know that it was him who did it..."
"But we can't say it, or it's useless to say it. It won't have any effect except that we lose this job..." The old man's tone sounded sad, even a little desperate.
"Benjamin also has a three-year-old daughter. She is very cute. I don't know how to face them..."
"But this is the kind of people here, we are all bastards, we are all accomplices, Thor..."
"If you can't leave here, you will end up like this, thank you, go away."
When Thor walked out of the garage, the sunlight outside shone directly on his face, making him almost unable to open his eyes. Under the strong sunlight at noon, all the buildings were coated with a dazzling light. Dizzy, he stretched out his palms to cover his eyes and looked towards the street.
This is not a slum, it can even be said to be prosperous. There are several car repair shops on this side of the street, a warehouse at the end, several trucks parked opposite, and a fire station on the far east side of the road.
Having worked here for a long time, Thor knew that once the sun is no longer so strong, this place will become lively at dusk, with everyone talking and laughing and going to fast food restaurants to buy food. Drivers, mechanics, firefighters, Small groups gathered in front of the barbecue stalls to chat and brag.
Thor also knows that this place is much better than Hell's Kitchen. Although Old White's son and daughter-in-law don't make much money, they can barely support themselves. His grandson is still studying at Midtown High School and has a great future.
Benjamin, who died suddenly before, also had a house, a wife and a daughter. Most of the other employees at the garage also had their own families. Although most of them were burdened with heavy loans, they at least had a roof over their heads.
Thor thought as he walked, and as he walked, he returned to the edge of Hell's Kitchen. The streets here were far less prosperous than the place where he worked, and were even a little shabby. He thought, this is nothing. , and walking further inside is the real hell on earth.
Thor didn't know how to describe his feelings. He originally thought that he would always stand on the side of justice, but looking at his colleagues, he couldn't blame them for not standing up to attack the garage owner. He couldn't stop Asking them for more is a group of people who are already having a hard time living.
Thor suddenly began to think about some issues that he had never thought about before. Some things would be difficult for most people in the world, such as having enough to eat, having a place to live, and being able to afford family expenses.
How could Thor have thought of such a thing before? Brave warriors went hunting for him, hot barbecues were offered in front of him, fresh fruits were placed in fruit baskets, and sweet spring water was presented. He was the first to enjoy all these because he was As The future owner of Gard.
The attendants of the Immortal Palace changed his clothes, and the steward put on his helmet for him. He looked at the magnificent and wide corridors of the Immortal Palace countless times, and even felt a little bored. Even the throne of the Father of the Gods, he disdained the gems on it. Gu.
And now, under the scorching sun, Thor looked down at his body. His chest and back were soaked with sweat, and his legs were a little sore. After staying up all night, he was a little exhausted, and sweat was flowing down his face. It dripped down from his forehead, stuck to his eyelashes, and when it fell into his eyes, he narrowed his eyes in discomfort.
He was penniless and couldn't even buy a pack of tissues. He turned to look at the supermarket next to him, where there was a cool breeze, but Thor looked down at his pants that were stained by gasoline and hesitated. Still didn't go in.
He knew what would happen if he walked in. The clerk would look at him with an expression of disgust and disdain, wishing that he would finish his shopping and leave. If at this time, he couldn't take out the money from his pocket, the clerk would But they would threaten him and call the police.
Thor had never thought that being a human was harder than being a god.
He has always believed that as the future master of Asgard, he has a huge responsibility. He must protect the safety of the nine kingdoms. There may be more enemies waiting for him to destroy in the future, and there may be a more magnificent journey. Wait for him to step on it.
All the difficulties and hardships he imagined were based on this situation, and they were definitely not standing on the road on a hot day, feeling embarrassed because he had no money to buy a pack of tissues to wipe sweat.
He thought that what might make him nervous and panicked was his worry about the future direction of Asgard, rather than worrying about how he would explain to Loki that he could not pay the rent for the next season when he returned home.
This made Thor start to think, are the achievements he achieved in Asgard really because he was strong enough and upright?
So why now, he can't even deal with a vicious garage owner? Although he now has no divine power or weapons and is an ordinary person, the garage owner is weaker than him, but Thor still has nothing to do with him.
What can he do? Call the police? But the police wouldn't listen to him, so they used their privileges to call people from SHIELD and ask them to arrest the garage owner? But what to do with the remaining employees? After the garage closes, where will they go to earn money to support their families?
The heat of the sun made Thor's head feel dizzy, and he had to walk into the nearest shadow and lean against the wall.
He felt pain in his back and knees. He thought, why didn't moving forward work? Why, when he, as a god, cares and pities these weaklings, can he do nothing but give them a few dollars?
Thor had this philosophical thought for the first time. After losing his divine power and weapons, he became so useless. So is Thor him, or is it his divine power and weapons?
Did he get the honors and achievements he was proud of by himself, or did he get them with his divine power and weapons?
If it's the former, then why can't he do anything after losing his divine power and weapons?
