*****
Even so, the man did not get angry. Instead, he forgave Jane with great tolerance and then began chatting with her in an encouraging, comforting manner.
But he never expected that the date would still fail to continue, as another woman joined them.
Seeing her former assistant suddenly appear here, Jane felt both surprised and bewildered. At the same time, she introduced her to her date, who had mistaken her for a waitress.
"Richard, this is Darcy!"
Standing invisibly nearby, Fini's expression turned serious when he saw this woman who shared the same original name as Skye. If he remembered correctly, it was about time for Jane to come into contact with the Reality Stone.
Following a stream of rambling complaints from Darcy, under the awkward glares of the two, she pulled out a device and handed it to Jane.
The course of events did not differ from the original plot. Jane truly could not just let go of Thor, especially after Fini's visit, which made her want to see Thor again even more than before.
Thus, this date ultimately failed to continue.
Before leaving, Fini looked at the backup guy sitting in his seat, trying his best to keep himself from looking too awkward. In his heart, Fini silently pitied him once again, and then closely followed behind Jane as she quickly walked out of the restaurant.
In a red car, Darcy sat calmly in the driver's seat waiting. Seeing Jane get into the car, her expression showed no surprise at all.
"I hate you!"
Once in the car, Jane glared at Darcy and said. Although she knew clearly in her heart that even without Darcy's interference, this date wouldn't have had a good result in the end anyway.
"Why? I thought he was pretty cute!"
Darcy put on an innocent look. She knew Jane's personality very well, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed all the way to London to find Jane the moment she got the information.
"Shut up and drive!"
Hearing this, Jane couldn't help but laugh and swear. She then buckled her seatbelt, preparing to investigate the location shown by the device.
Watching the car start, Fini remained invisible and used the Sky Dance Technique to fly above the car to follow them. However, he didn't expect that the few of them would actually start talking about him inside the car.
"Speaking of which, why did you ask me to gather information about the Silver Knight before?"
As Darcy drove, she answered, "Erik said he promised S.H.I.E.L.D. that he couldn't disclose any information about him, so he only told me that he is a very, very, very handsome young man."
"..."
Following the group from above the car, Fini was somewhat speechless. But thinking that Erik had already reached the point of streaking at this time, he decided to let him off the hook just this once.
Hearing Darcy's words, Jane hesitated slightly before answering truthfully, "He came to see me before!"
"What?"
Darcy, who was driving, was so shocked upon hearing this that she almost crashed into another car. In the back seat, Darcy's assistant, Ian, also asked with a shocked face, "You've seen the Silver Knight?"
"I'm not sure if it was him, but he knew about Thor."
Jane replied, and then thought about it before adding another sentence, "And he really is very handsome!"
"How handsome? Is he handsomer than Thor?"
Darcy asked further with great interest, but Jane did not answer this question.
"Do you have a picture?"
Darcy still didn't give up. She wasn't even looking at the road anymore as she turned her head curiously to ask Jane.
"Keep your eyes on the road!"
Jane hastily scolded her in fright. Seeing Darcy look back at the road properly, she frowned and said, "Only a phone number, no picture."
Although she still didn't know what Fini looked like, Darcy was already getting excited and said enthusiastically, "You've already reeled in a god, so leave this Earthling to me, how about it?"
Fini, who was following above the car, couldn't help but twitch his lips. A girl with a personality as overly enthusiastic as Darcy's was the type he was least capable of dealing with. By comparison, he still preferred someone gentler like Helen Cho.
"He's the Silver Knight!"
Ian, Darcy's intern in the back seat, couldn't help but interject, "I heard that Black Widow from the Avengers is his girlfriend!"
Hearing his words, Fini instantly flew into a rage, heavily marking down another mental demerit against Nick Fury in his little ledger.
He was currently absolutely single, and even if he were to look for a girlfriend, Black Widow was definitely not among the options.
However, it wasn't convenient for him to reveal himself and explain right now, so he could only silently continue listening to their conversation.
"It's fine, I don't mind how many girlfriends he has. Doesn't having more people just prove how capable he is!"
Perhaps feeling that it was impossible for the two of them to actually interact, Darcy, who was driving, said very boldly.
Jane rolled her eyes at Darcy. In fact, until now, she wasn't even sure if Fini really was the Silver Knight, which was why she had never contacted him.
"Give me the phone!"
Jane suddenly said, causing Darcy's body to shake as she drove. She asked timidly, "You're not really going to call him, are you?"
Fini, who was above the car, also felt his heart tighten. He couldn't help but fly up a bit higher to prevent Jane from contacting him next.
"Of course I'm calling!"
Jane gave Darcy an annoyed glare, and then continued, "But I'm calling our Erik!"
Hearing her words, Fini finally breathed a sigh of relief. He maintained his distance from the car once again, waiting for Jane to lead him to find the location where the Aether was sealed.
However, although Jane's call went through, Erik did not answer. Having gone through experiences not much different from the original plot, he had still started streaking just like in the original storyline and was taken away by the police. He should be receiving treatment right now.
The car drove all the way to a remote suburb. Just as they arrived at their destination, Fini noticed the difference here almost immediately.
During the Convergence of the Nine Realms, the boundaries between the realms would become very blurred, and this place happened to be one of those boundaries. To put it simply, natural 'portals' leading to the other realms could appear here at any time.
Unless it was someone like Fini who possessed an extremely strong spatial perception ability, it would be incredibly difficult to discover the locations of these 'portals'.
If someone wanted to cross over, they just had to wander around here a bit more, and they might just cross over while walking.
After arriving here, Fini still had no intention of showing himself. At such a critical moment, any random action of his could affect the outcome of events.
There were many teleportation points here, and the locations they teleported to were also constantly changing. Therefore, trying to enter them one by one to find the seal of the Aether wouldn't work.
Only by entering the right teleportation point at the right time could he find the location of the Reality Stone.
Fini stayed close to Jane's side and activated his Breathing Method, raising his focus to its absolute peak. The Reality Stone was the stone he wanted to obtain the most, so he didn't want any unexpected mishaps to occur.
Following the guidance of the device, Fini, Jane, and the others entered this building that was full of 'opportunities to cross over'.
Aside from them, there were also some mischievous kids in the building. Because of the spatial anomalies, the gravity in parts of this area had shifted.
Therefore, this group of kids treated this place as a fun playground. Fortunately, they were lucky enough that it didn't turn into a horror movie scenario where people suddenly vanish into thin air while walking.
