<h4>Chapter 957: Reaction</h4>


    Based on Thor’s statements, it’s clear that Thor believes that the Ancient One has taken an interest in Lin Rui and ns to make him his sessor.


    However, it’s important to note that the Ancient One is indeed searching for a talented inheritor in preparation for his “retirement”, but he did not have Lin Rui in mind as a candidate. The Ancient One is aware of Lin Rui’s identity and knows that hecks any aptitude for magic.


    “Are you saying that Jackson still has the potential to be a sorcerer?” Tony asked in disbelief after hearing Thor’s words.


    In Tony’s perception, Lin Rui already possesses a great deal of strength and potential. Every time Lin Rui goes through some experience, his strength increases.


    Thest time Lin Rui fought Hulk, even though he was defeated, it was enough to see that he had a great deal of confidence in his own strength. If Lin Rui still has a great talent for magic, it would be extraordinary.


    “He must have some potential, otherwise, why would the Ancient One treat him so favorably? And didn’t the Ancient One sorcerer rescue him when he was teleported away from Earthst time? From what my mother said, the Ancient One probably used… ” Seeing Tony’s surprised look, Thor continued but stopped midway.


    Thor also knew that he almost talked about the situation of the Time Stone in the hands of the Ancient One, which is something they cannot discuss now.


    “Is that so? Is the Ancient One really that powerful?” Tony disregarded Thor’s sudden silence as he was more interested in the strength of the Ancient One sorcerer.


    If it was truly the Ancient One, the Sorceror Supreme, who ced value on Lin Rui, then as the person responsible for Jackson Lin, a talented high school student, Tony must always be aware of who the other party is.


    “Can’t you tell from the title alone? Not just anyone can be called the Sorceror Supreme! It’s safe to say that it’s thanks to the Ancient One that the Earth has been able to develop steadily to this day” Thor replied with a challenging raise of his eyebrows.


    It’s important to note that the Earth’s Ancient One is a powerful individual on par with Asgard’s Odin. Additionally, Odin’s health is gradually declining while Ancient One’s condition is obviously much better than Odin’s.


    “Is he really that powerful? Then why didn’t I see him take action during the Dark Elf invasion this time? The weird guy who fought with Venomst time actually showed up.” Hearing Thor says that the Ancient One is so powerful, Tony said lightly.


    Although Tony didn’t show it, he already had some doubts about this Sorceror Supreme named Ancient One in his heart. Although Lin Rui was also very mysterious, Tony considered himself the elder of this mysterious young man, and he was the first to know what was happening.


    And now that the Ancient One has suddenly appeared, and it’s possible that he had his eyes on Lin Rui, Tony has an inexplicable feeling that his excellent protégé will be taken away by someone else.

    “Earth Sorcerers don’t involve themselves in everything. This time, the Dark Elves invaded Earth and it wasn’t their concern, but there were still Sorcerers who helped, so you should be satisfied!” Thor said helplessly when he saw Tony’s expression.


    “Well, if that kid Jackson knew someone so powerful like Ancient One then he shouldn’t have kept it from us!” Tony said angrily, not wanting to continue discussing this topic.


    “Um… then you can talk to Jackson about it when hees back,” Thor responded lightly, noticing Tony’s change in mood.


    Tony: “…” No one knows when Jackson wille back, and Tony won’t talk to him about it at that time.


    Tony and Thor talked about something else, and Tony got up from the sofa. Tony already knew what he needed to know, and SHIELD’s team had been waiting outside for a while. Rogers, who had flown over from Washington, was also on his way.


    Ka Ka Ka!


    Tony stood up and quickly donned the Iron Man suit.


    He then looked at Thor, who was still sitting on the couch.


    “I’m going back first. People from SHIELD shoulde to youter. You can handle it. Anyway, they won’t make things difficult for you. If you really have a way to find Jackson, then go,” Tony said, finishing his sentences before turning and walking towards the window.


    Boom!


    Tony then flew straight out the window of Thor’s apartment. By looking at the direction Tony was flying, it seems like he was nning to intercept Rogers from Washington. In any case, Tony has already understood the situation, so there’s no need for Rogers toe over in person.


    As for the SHIELD agents downstairs and the surveince team across the street, they will also receive news from the headquarters, and they will not have much of a reaction to Thor’s return.


    “SHIELD, it seems that my hammer is still with them. Maybe this time, I can retrieve what belongs to me,” Thor whispered to himself as he looked at Tony’s back which was about to fly away.


    Then, he pulled out his phone and started calling Jane Foster. A few days ago, because of the battle, Destroyer sent Jane Foster to a safe ce, and Thor didn’t have time to say hello to her when he returned. Therefore, Thor now thinks that his ex-girlfriend should not be angry with him and may want to get back with him.


    Beep Beep


    “Hey! Jane! I’m back! I’m back on Earth!” Tony shouted excitedly as soon as the phone was connected.


    “Crack!”


    Beep Beep


    …


    Brush!


    When Thor took the phone away from his ear with a dazed expression, Tony had already flown into the sky. In the direction of his flight, a Quinjet was rushing toward him. After spotting Tony, the Quinjet slowed down noticeably.


    A few secondster, Tony had already flown to the Quinjet carrying Captain America. Then, the bottom cabin of the Quinjet opened and Tony flew right in. Not long after Tony entered the Quinjet, the jet turned around and flew towards the Stark Industries building in downtown New York,nding on the top floor of the building.


    After that, Rogers and Tony disembarked the ne together and walked into the luxurious living room on the top floor of the Stark Industries building. What they talked about that day, remains known only to them.


    However, just after ten o’clock in the evening when Bifrostnded in New York, a very strong earthquake urred in the SHIELD’s first-level base in New Mexico, it was apanied by a very strong lightning reaction. This incident caused the earthquake to be felt in a radius of 100 kilometers and all power was cut off.
