Besides sending the contract, of course, there were other matters as well.
Susan took a deep breath, just about to explain the purpose of her visit, when Valeria had already stepped forward:
"I'm asking Miss Susan to help me get a job at Stark Industries. Although I should consult Mr. Tony Stark, the head of Stark Industries, if Mr. Chen Xi personally recommends me, everything will become much easier!"
Valeria said this with absolute certainty.
"You're not wrong. A recommendation from me is just a single sentence. But… why should I help you?"
Chen Xi looked at Valeria with a half-smile, half-teasing expression.
Valeria, of course, couldn't claim it was because they were close.
That would be meaningless.
They had only spent a few minutes together in a bed—there was no emotional foundation.
Even Susan could be discarded; let alone a woman who had spent just one night with him.
Although she understood this clearly, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Yet, Valeria only felt that disappointment briefly before regaining her composure:
"Because I'm smart!"
After a pause, she continued:
"Not only smart, but also very useful. I understand the world's situation isn't very good. If I join, many things will change."
"You're confident," Chen Xi said calmly, his tone betraying no emotion.
Valeria pressed her lips together, her heart racing nervously.
"I am confident. I believe Mr. Chen Xi can give me a chance. I can prove that I'm useful!"
Valeria swore she had never been this eager to recommend herself before.
At this moment, even she wasn't entirely sure—was she trying to prove her abilities, or just prove herself in front of Chen Xi?
Whether it was the former or the latter, it reflected her current mood.
She stared intently at Chen Xi.
"Fine."
Chen Xi looked at Valeria and let out a small smile.
After Chen Xi's approval, Wanda spoke directly to Valeria:
"I'm heading to Stark Industries to demand the second batch of goods. Since you're going there too, let's go together."
Valeria nodded.
She had expected Chen Xi to take her, but it turned out it would be someone else.
No matter—her goal had already been achieved.
As Wanda led her away, Valeria glanced back at Chen Xi, feeling a little reluctant. But Chen Xi was already speaking to the woman beside him. Valeria frowned slightly but ultimately looked away.
As long as she could prove her strength, she would eventually gain Chen Xi's recognition.
Being ignored now didn't matter; it wouldn't happen in the future.
She would prove herself.
Valeria's determined gaze never left Chen Xi. While Susan didn't notice, Gwen and Jean Grey clearly did.
"Chen Xi seems to have some connection with Miss Valeria," they exchanged a knowing look.
They didn't voice it aloud, but both understood the situation perfectly.
Their eyes exchanged silently, even unnoticed by Chen Xi.
Even if he did notice, he probably wouldn't care.
He believed these women already understood his true nature outside. No need to hide or pretend.
While the three were quietly interacting, suddenly there was a loud crash, shaking the ground.
The previously relaxed group immediately sat upright. Enemy attack!
Who had the audacity to do this? Absolutely insane!
Gwen angrily stood:
"It must be the Asgardians. There's no other possibility!"
While they speculated, Thor was already enraged in his hall.
"Balder! Amora! I entrusted you to handle Loki! Is this the result?"
Thor was furious.
"We're really sorry! Loki is so cunning—every time we almost catch him, he escapes immediately!"
They didn't want things to happen either, nor had they expected Loki to directly attack Chen Xi's residence with the magic wolf.
When they realized something was wrong, they immediately sought Thor's help.
Thor was so angry that he was momentarily speechless.
He pursed his lips.
"That's enough!"
Making excuses instead of handling things properly wasn't the outcome Thor wanted.
His expression was grim.
He decided he had to handle this personally and even apologize in person.
"Loki always brings me trouble!"
Thor quickly departed.
Loki, on the other hand, was very pleased.
"Haha, Thor must be so troubled right now!"
Just as Thor knew him well, Loki knew Thor equally well.
He had learned that Thor was attempting to cooperate with Chen Xi.
Disrupting their cooperation would be enough.
However, he didn't understand why Chen Xi's house remained completely intact, while nearby buildings were severely damaged.
Loki was displeased.
"Fenris, my son! Make the attack stronger!"
The magic wolf responded immediately.
As soon as Loki spoke, Fenris launched an attack.
Yet the attack seemed ineffective. The clash of forces generated massive energy, forcing both sides to retreat.
Fenris spat blood from his mouth.
He looked at the one blocking him—Thor himself.
Fenris feared nothing, and upon recognizing Thor, charged again.
Loki frowned but did not stop Fenris.
Not only did he not stop him, Loki even attempted to attack Thor himself.
"Thor, how foolish are you to appear before me alone? I only intended to give you some trouble, but since you don't need it, then die here! Rest assured, those shallow gods around you, like maggots, I will send them all away, so you can reunite with them!"
