"Third Master, Hugo, the leader of the Famine Legion, is watching us just outside our Asgard. Do you think we should ask the esteemed elder to lend a hand…?"
Looking at Hai Nir's lecherous old face, Tie Lao San glared and said angrily, "Ask your grandfather! Hai Lao Er, how can you be so shameless? What, you expect our eldest and second brother to come all the way here to help you deal with Hugo's Famine Legion without a word?"
Odin and his two brothers were stunned for a moment, and then they understood. It wasn't impossible for the Tie family brothers to help them deal with Hugo's Famine Legion, but it would definitely cost them.
This was only natural. If someone helped you, and you didn't offer them some benefits, who would associate with you in the future?
Odin said to Hai Nir with a hint of seriousness, "Second Brother, Third Master has traveled a long way. He hasn't even had a drink or a bite to eat. You're talking about this matter? Is this how you treat your guests?"
Then, with a smile, he said to Tie Lao San, "Third Master, we can discuss this matter privately later. For now, please try our Asgardian wine and delicacies. I hope they suit your taste."
Hai Nir saw the wink from his elder brother and quickly nodded, saying, "Ah, yes, yes, yes. My elder brother is right. Third Master, let's eat and drink slowly first. We can talk about these things when things calm down."
He then raised his wine cup to Lin Zhan and the young Taoist priest, saying, "Commander Lin and General Zhang, it's a rare occasion to visit our Asgard. Please stay for a few more days and experience our local customs and traditions."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, neither subservient nor arrogant, "Since that is the case, then I shall respectfully accept your invitation."
After drinking the wine in their cups, everyone began to relax. Tie Lao San, apart from nagging Hai Nir relentlessly, was much more pleasant to the others.
The young Taoist priest smiled at Odin and said, "Your Majesty King of the Gods, I recall you have a grandson with yellow hair. We met under less than ideal circumstances, and I consider him an acquaintance. Why don't I see him here this time?"
Odin glanced at the two bricks placed by the young Taoist priest's feet and couldn't help but twitch his eye.
His grandson had almost been beaten to death by this little hooligan last time. It was only because his eldest grandson, Adam, intervened and paid a high price to ransom him back.
Odin said with a wry smile, "General Zhang, Laosan is still young and ignorant. If he offended you in any way, please forgive him."
The young Taoist priest was taken aback. "Laosan?"
"His father is Loki, so he's in the same generation as his father?"
"Damn it, so he's an idiot. Then I really shouldn't bother with this little yellow-haired brat anymore. Otherwise, if word gets out that I bully idiots, wouldn't that tarnish my reputation?"
The young Taoist priest said this while looking at the gods at the banquet. Several of them were glaring at him angrily.
"What are you idiots looking at? What, are you going to bite me? Have you guys made too much money in Asgard lately and gotten too fat and comfortable, so now you dare to bare your teeth at me?"
"Damn it, you're just spoiled. If you have the guts, give me your names, and we can have a proper chat privately."
A burly blonde man in armor stood up and said, "I am Tyr, the God of War. These are Heimdall, the Guardian God; Hermod, the divine messenger; Modi, the god of courage, a young one. You are too rude. Are your elders...?"
Before Tyr could finish speaking, a large saber struck his shoulder.
Chang Ruo Cao Yu, accompanied by the four Xuan Shang brothers, tore through the void and slowly emerged.
Xuan Shang grinned and said, "Who the hell didn't tie their pants properly and let you show yourself? Is a bastard like you worthy of speaking about the son-in-law of the Great Shang?"
"And you dare to call yourself the God of War? Go ask Ares, the real God of War, if he dares to speak to the Great Shang like that."
Cao Yu looked at Odin and his two brothers and said, "Odin, Hai Nir, Loder, you three old relics are getting worse and worse. You can't even control your own dogs, and you let this beast bark nonsense."
Upon seeing who had arrived, Odin and his two brothers' heads went numb with buzzing. At the same time, they hated Tyr, that useless fellow, to death.
You, who have lived for thousands of years, are arguing with a nine-year-old child?
Now, you've angered his elders.
One Tie Lao San is already more than we can handle. Don't these two old rogues, Chang Ruo and Cao Yu, fight even fiercer than Tie Lao San?
It's not that Odin and his brothers are too cowardly. Before Odin and his brothers had even awakened, Asgard had been dealt with by their ancestor Hou Yi. Even the lids of Odin and his brothers' coffins were cracked.
They finally waited for the return of luck, and Odin and his three divine kings awakened.
A host of formidable figures and imperial-level divine generals also awakened. Asgard was finally able to straighten its back and become a bit more assertive.
Then, they heard that Lin Zhan had successively destroyed several planes and killed a string of emperors.
Even so, these Asgardians were still somewhat unconvinced and wanted to show some spirit.
Then, news came that the ancestors Chang Ruo and Cao Yu, along with a group of Great Shang's ruffians, had beaten the Corpse Witch tribe into exile.
Even the two emerging talents of ancient times, Monet and Mo Busha, were beaten with bricks and forced to retreat.
Therefore, when Asgard heard about Lin Zhan's Ten Thousand Races Caravan, they had Adam, who had always maintained a friendly "hostage" relationship with them, proactively contact these second-generation figures.
This led to Asgard's investment in the Ten Thousand Races Caravan.
It had to be said, that little silly fatty Zhang Haoming was indeed talented in business.
In the past month, by secretly smuggling resources everywhere, he had made Asgard very rich.
They had originally planned to use this visit by the Chinese delegation to show off Asgard's strength, and at the same time, to build a better relationship with Lin Zhan and the young Taoist priest, these two little ruffian leaders.
This way, they could gain more respect from China and elevate Asgard's position within the Ten Thousand Races Caravan.
However, they never expected that Tie Lao San, a notorious ancient rogue, would also come along.
Odin and his two brothers had no choice but to immediately surrender.
Because in ancient times, when the Tie brothers were just starting out.
Being short on cash, the three brothers discussed it and decided to do something big.
So, they kidnapped their second brother, Hai Nir.
At that time, Odin and Loder, his two brothers, were also famous figures in the martial world, and they brought their men to seek retribution.
The result was that all three brothers were soundly beaten by Tie Lao Da.
It was rumored that the two gold teeth that Hai Nir had embedded were from that time when he was beaten by Tie Lao Da.
In the end, it was the Queen of Heaven, Frigga, who paid the ransom, and only then did the Tie brothers release Hai Nir.
From then on, until the end of the ancient war, whenever the Tie brothers were short of money, they would come to Asgard for help.
It was just like when Lin Zhan was short of money, he would kidnap Adam.
It had given the Odin brothers psychological trauma.
