Chapter 238 Rune cleverly earns a big meal, Loki tricks Thor

Steve's reaction was as Rune had expected. The former Captain America was a good man, and he was very stubborn. Even if he hit a wall, he would never give in. He would not stop until he either killed himself or knocked the wall down.

Therefore, Rune didn't try to persuade Steve, but nodded and turned to eat at the buffet.

Although it was supposed to be a celebration banquet, it was more like a dance party with a buffet. Rune wasn't interested in dancing, but when he came to a corner of the banquet hall, he unexpectedly found a few other guys who shared his thoughts.

Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, Bucky, a young man, and Clark. The young man and Clark are eating voraciously, while the other three are eating slowly and laughing.

"Rune!" Clark greeted Rune and then continued eating. If he hadn't spent a long time with Clark, Rune wouldn't have been able to hear what he was saying.

"Swallow what's in your mouth before you speak!" Rune said irritably, then returned the greetings to the others who were waving at him. Of course, the young man who was somewhat unfamiliar yet whose voice sounded vaguely familiar continued to eat voraciously, as if...

"Are those two having a gluttony contest?" Rune asked after a moment's hesitation, and Doctor Strange nodded.

"Peter and he somehow ended up competing." He shrugged, then forked a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.

Peter?

"Peter Parker?" Rune asked tentatively, and the young man immediately widened his eyes and looked at Rune.

How do you know my name?

Is that really true? Before, we couldn't see his face clearly because he was wearing a mask, but now we can finally "see his face." Spider-Man looks quite handsome, and the food stuffed in his mouth adds to his silly charm, which is actually kind of cute.

Snapped!

Clark smugly placed an empty plate on the other side of the table: "Plate 18! You're behind!"

"Hey!" Peter looked very anxious. Not wanting to fall behind, he immediately threw himself into eating, determined to compete with Clark.

"Who do you think has the best chance?"

When faced with Doctor Strange's question, Rune immediately chose Clark, proving that even among gluttons, there are differences. Clark is currently at the age where he can eat a lot, and being a Kryptonian, his eating habits are like a bottomless pit. Rune now has to use a Seamless Stretch Charm to enlarge the lunchboxes he packs for Clark, otherwise they simply aren't enough for Clark.

However, the one who can eat the most is actually Rune.

As Rune joined the sweeping, Tony Stark's specially invited team of chefs began to sweat profusely. Generally, the food at such banquets is prepared in advance, with most dishes being cold platters. However, they never expected that someone would attend a banquet not to dance and socialize, but simply to eat! What's the difference between this and going to the Summer Palace and not eating chicken, but instead going to eat rice?

And they eat incredibly fast!

In order to live up to their pay, the chefs worked tirelessly until around 11 p.m. before finally getting a break.

But the poor chef didn't know that at that moment, Rune was patting his belly, which wasn't bulging much at all, and said softly, "Hmm, that's about enough. I'll stop eating for now."

Rune wasn't actually full; he just felt it would be impolite to eat any more. He could have kept eating as long as he wanted, but even though he restrained himself, he was still surrounded by a group of heroes. Seeing that Rune was finally full, Erica, Wolverine, and the other heroes finally left.

Before leaving, Erica took a closer look at Rune's stomach. She suspected that Rune hadn't actually eaten the food, but had instead used some kind of teleportation magic to send it elsewhere.

"You can really eat." Clark, who had become familiar with Peter and even a friend in a short time, said enviously. He had won the eating contest against Spider-Man, but—the eating champion was right next to him?

Rune remained noncommittal; he was usually quite talkative, it was just that Clark hadn't noticed. Now Rune was preparing to leave.

He also wanted to go to Asgard to see how Odin and the Serpent had fared. But before that, he needed to send Clark, Wanda, and the Raven back first.

Rune called Clark, who was saying a reluctant goodbye to Spider-Man, and they found Wanda and Raven.

"We should go," Rune said to the Scarlet Witch. "Five minutes, is that enough?"

Wanda laughed and said, "Five minutes is a bit too much."

"See you at the entrance?"

Wanda nodded in agreement, then opened a portal and left. Scarlet Witch's actions naturally attracted the attention of the other heroes; after all, her reputation in this universe wasn't good, and many superheroes were wary of her. However, seeing that Wanda had only opened a portal and left, they didn't do anything drastic, and some heroes even breathed a sigh of relief.

Raven then realized that the woman who had been so gentle and patient in teaching her might be a ruthless character in this world.

Just as Rune left, on the other side of the banquet...

Thor was raising his Asgardian wine high, clinking glasses with the others in a hearty toast, his handsome face slightly flushed from the alcohol.

The wine for this victory celebration was provided by the Asgardian prince, who was very generous, as his intelligence lay in both battle and drinking.

Anyway, the whole of Asgard will be mine in the future, so having a little wine won't hurt.

Just as the landlord's foolish son was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, a beautiful young woman suddenly entered his field of vision. She had smooth golden hair, emerald green eyes, a faint smile on her lips, and wore a dark green dress embellished with silver threads, elegant and mysterious.

So beautiful, so cute—no, no, no, I've saved it! I've saved it!

The young woman burst out laughing. This fool, he completely wore his heart on his sleeve!

"This is a toast to you, my God of Thunder," she said softly, then handed over a beautiful glass of wine.

"Ahem," Thor felt his face burning, and was thankful he'd drunk some alcohol; even if he blushed, it wouldn't seem too strange. He blinked, took the glass, and asked, "Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before—"

"I'm a new research assistant, and I've admired you for a long time," she said, striking a pose like Xi Shi holding her heart, the gleam in her eyes making Thor blush even more.

"Alright, alright—" The girl's admiration made Thor lower his guard, and he took the glass, saying, "I'll drink this one!"

After drinking it, he felt a blur in his vision.

That's potent! Great liquor!

Thor was thinking to himself, but what he didn't expect was that after finishing this cup, there would be another one! But under the girl's flattery, he drank one cup after another, laughing louder and louder, but his steps became more and more unsteady, and his legs became weaker and weaker.

"Uh—" After downing a dozen or so drinks, Thor poured himself a drink: "I think I'm a little—"

The girl seemed to know what he was going to say, and deliberately feigned surprise: "Do the gods of Asgard fear mortal wine?"

"Who said that!" Thor slammed his hand on the table, blinking hard, but still managed to kneel slightly. "Again!"

Tony, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow and said, "Thor, are you sure you can still drink?"

"Of course I can!"

Tony's question was taken as a challenge by Thor. He boldly reached for the wine and drank it all in one gulp. But the next moment, he lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground, but the girl caught him.

Tony's eyes widened. When did a girl become so strong?

But Stark didn't think much of it. After all, there were many heroes at the celebration party. What villain would dare to infiltrate Avengers Tower?

At that moment, the girl gave Stark a shy look, and Tony immediately understood.

"Hahaha, naughty little kitten!" Tony chuckled lewdly, teasing her while thinking to himself, "Thor is so lucky with women!" He didn't see the sly smile that appeared on the girl's lips as she turned her back to him.
