"You won't kill me. You need me."
When Loki said this confidently, Hela immediately changed her attitude and grabbed his neck like turning over a book, lifting him into the air.
"Now the answer is revealed. Congratulations. You guessed wrong. I will kill you now."
Loki's face flushed red, and he kept flapping his arms and legs in the air, but there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, there was an indescribable sarcasm, and even a little... provocation
When Hela saw this, she immediately increased the strength of her hands in anger. At this time, she only needed to gently twist her hand to the side to easily break the guy's neck, but...
The fear of death brought by suffocation did not make Loki succumb. Just as Hela said, if this scene happened to Thor, no one would be surprised, but Loki? Loki, the god of trickery? The Loki who would fake his death and get away with it at any time
To put it in modern terms, this is not Loki's character!
However, after a few long seconds, seeing that Loki had no intention of surrendering, Hela could only snort unhappily and threw him to the ground.
She didn't really kill Loki after all!
Loki guessed right and won the bet!
"Ahem, now I am 100% sure. Although I cannot beat you, when it comes to controlling people's hearts, even ten of you are no match for me!"
Loki climbed up from the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner, but at this moment, the light on his body suppressed Hela for the first time. No matter how embarrassed he was, it could not conceal the fact that he was the one who had the last laugh in this round of competition!
Hela had to admit that she had underestimated this guy. Although the previous disdain was still there, the mockery in her eyes was gone, replaced by a hint of fear hidden deep inside.
For the first time, Hela did not get angry because of the words "When it comes to controlling people's hearts, even ten of you are not my match." Maybe she was still unhappy, but her pride prevented her from saying anything to refute.
"Are you so sure that I dare not kill you? You dare to gamble your life. I have to say that I underestimated you. Your courage is not inferior to Thor's."
"Thank you for the compliment, but can you please not compare me with that idiot? I was confident in my bet, but that guy was just reckless. You using Thor to praise me doesn't make me feel happy."
Hila frowned and ignored his crazy words. She said directly: "You guessed right. The reason why I didn't kill you is that I really need you to do something for me."
"Very good. I like your straightforwardness. To be honest, those boring tests will not be of any use except wasting time. So I think we should talk about business. What do you want me to do and what can you give for it?"
Loki rubbed his neck and aggressively took back the control of the conversation.
Hila's expression darkened again, and she said coldly, "Don't forget, your life and death now depends on my thoughts. It's easy for me to kill you. Your little tricks can't hide from my eyes at all, so you have no right to bargain with me. Just do whatever I say, and I will let you go afterwards..."
"Sorry to interrupt you! You mean I helped you with something, but you just 'spare my life', right?" When Loki said this, his tone was extremely exaggerated and sarcastic, showing his undisguised contempt.
Hela was annoyed again. If she wasn’t in a very bad condition, she would never waste her breath on him and would have directly broken his neck!
“Isn’t it enough to spare your life?” Hela took a deep breath and said patiently.
"Haha, of course... Not enough! I won't do a business that will make me lose money. If you have the ability, kill me right now. I don't think anyone else will help you except me."
"Are you threatening me?"
Loki spread his hands and said in a very straightforward manner, "I am just stating a fact. It is obvious that you are not content with the current situation, otherwise you would not have asked an 'enemy' like me to help you. So the answer is very obvious. Your situation is very bad and your life is threatened at all times, so you need someone to help you change everything."
"Well, let me think about it. Thanos needs you to help him collect the Infinity Stones, right? Don't look at me like that. I've received the same task before. So you think Thanos will attack you after he collects all six Infinity Stones?"
Loki's words made Hela's expression change slightly. Although she quickly returned to her cold poker face, Loki, who was staring at her face, still saw it all. This made him feel relieved and more confident about the subsequent negotiations.
Although there is still some gap between his guess and the truth, it is almost right.
But what he didn't know was that it wasn't Thanos who wanted to attack Hela, but General Corvus Glaive would find a way to kill her first.
Although there are some differences in the process, the final result will not change at all, because it goes without saying that who Thanos will choose between Hela and Corvus Glaive.
That's why Hela felt a little surprised and astonished after being revealed by Loki.
This guy really has a good grasp of people's hearts...
"what do you want?"
Hela finally gave in, because dragging it out any further would do her no good, and the scene of her conversation with Loki was already somewhat conspicuous.
"I want you dead... but you're not going to stand here and let me kill you, so there's no point in me wanting anything."
"Are you kidding me?"
At this moment, Hela's face was as cold as winter, her patience had reached its limit!
"No, how could that be? I haven't lived long enough. I just want to hear what you want me to do first, and then I can decide the 'reward' I need based on the difficulty and danger level."
Loki's request was reasonable, and even Hela's expression showed signs of warming up.
But at this moment, Loki suddenly said: "But before that, I think we need a little trust between us and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent transaction."
"Yeah, sure. What do you want to do?"
Loki looked at her with a half-smile, then suddenly slapped her in the face!
But just as Loki didn't trust her, Hela was always on guard against Loki, so Loki's sudden slap didn't hit Hela's face, but was caught by Hela in the middle.
"Are you looking for death?"
Hela spoke these words almost word by word with murderous intent.
Loki shrugged innocently, "This is the premise of building trust. As long as you let me slap you, I will believe that what you say is true, and I will do my best to help you. Of course, it's up to you whether you agree or not."
