Just call me Thor

Chapter 507: I need you to find out who this person is



"Didn't learn it?!"

Mike was momentarily stunned, his voice filled with disbelief. "That can't be right!"

Who was Maxen? The current Wolf Alpha, the strongest below the Ultimate Lord, and a Supreme Son. With just a casual strike, he could obliterate a nine-star Lord. How could someone as terrifyingly powerful as Maxen fail to learn a simple move like Golden Abyss?

Mike's eyes widened as he glared at Maxen, his voice turning harsh. "Tell me, have you been slacking off?"

Before Maxen could respond, Mike continued, his tone filled with disappointment. "Maxen, have you forgotten your ambitions?!"

Thor's words hit Maxen like a hammer. For a brief moment, Maxen actually felt a pang of guilt.

What had happened to him? Was he really willing to abandon his lifelong dreams for a few petty gains? Was it truly worth it?

But soon, Maxen's confused expression hardened into one of resolve. He looked at Thor, and the answer became clear in his mind.

"It's worth it!"

Damn it, making Thor suffer even once in this lifetime was worth everything!

At that moment, Maxen finally understood the true meaning behind Light Nine's earlier words: Thor hates seeing others make money more than he hates losing money himself.

Seeing Maxen's expression, Mike knew the answer.

"So, there's no deal to be made, huh?"

Mike wasn't surprised to hit a wall with Maxen. What intrigued him more was who had changed Maxen.

With Maxen's intelligence and emotional capacity, there was no way he could have reached this level of cunning on his own. There had to be someone behind the scenes, guiding him.

As Mike pondered this, he noticed a familiar figure approaching Wolf's Den. It was none other than his disciple-Light Nine!

Mike's eyes lit up, and a plan began to form in his mind.

"Stone, take your time with the drinks. Today, everything's on the house at Wolf's Den." Mike patted Maxen on the shoulder and slipped out the back door, making sure to avoid running into Light Nine.

Just as Mike left through the back, Light Nine entered through the front, the two narrowly missing each other.

At that moment, Light Nine received a message from Master Dream (Mike's alias).

Mike first inquired about Light Nine's recent activities, then asked, "Disciple, how is your relationship with Maxen?"

Light Nine replied, "We get along quite well."

"Good, good, good!" Mike said, repeating the word three times before continuing in a more serious tone. "I'm actually an elder to Maxen. Lately, there's been a bad influence around him, someone who's been clouding his judgment with deceitful words. I need you to find out who this person is."

Light Nine, being Mike's disciple, was not only highly capable but also extremely loyal. Mike trusted him completely with this task. Hearing his master's request, Light Nine immediately understood who Mike was referring to.

"Master Dream, I believe I know who you're talking about!" Light Nine said thoughtfully. "However, Maxen seems to be quite wary of this person, only referring to them with vague pronouns. I don't yet know their real name. This individual is quite powerful and cunning, never revealing their true face. If I'm to uncover their identity, it will take some time." There's hope! Mike quickly responded, "Good, no rush. Take your time. I have a score to settle with this person!"

With Light Nine on the case, Mike felt at ease. After making all the necessary arrangements, he muttered to himself as he left through the back door of Wolf's Den, "Once Light Nine finds out who's been feeding Maxen bad ideas, I'll make sure to teach them a lesson!"

Meanwhile, inside Wolf's Den, Light Nine took a sip of water and casually asked Maxen, "Hey man, I've been asked to gather some information about Shepherd. Can you tell me more about him?"

Mike's original intention was for Light Nine to investigate discreetly. But Light Nine, being a straightforward person, asked about it openly!

If it had been anyone else, they might have been suspicious of Light Nine's inquiry. But Maxen didn't hold back and spoke freely.

Talk? Sure, we can talk! There was nothing Maxen couldn't discuss. After all, Shepherd was a fictional character he had made up. All he had to do was recount the things Thor had done to him, without any embellishment.

After listening to Maxen's story, Light Nine gave an honest assessment: "Shepherd does seem to enjoy playing pranks!"

After leaving Wolf's Den, Mike managed to put Maxen out of his mind, but he couldn't stop thinking about Golden Abyss. A single move that could turn an entire abyss into gold-it was just too cool!

Mike felt that on his path to becoming a Supreme Being, he couldn't do without the help of Golden Abyss. Since Maxen wasn't willing to teach him, Mike figured he could just go straight to Ares!

If he went directly to the First Abyss, Mike was confident he could learn the move one way or another!

With this in mind, Mike submitted a travel request to the Valor Sword Corps through his [Guardian Shadow] connections.

Instantly rejected!

Undeterred, Mike tried again, this time using the Mystic Market to express his desire to visit the First Abyss for "sightseeing."

Rejected again!

But Mike wasn't one to give up easily. He found another way, pulling up the New York Superpower University's upcoming teaching assignments. He noticed that Star Class Three had an upcoming Abyss internship, but the location was the Eighth Abyss.

"I'll have to find a way to get Joseph to take us on a detour through the First Abyss!"

Satisfied with his plan, Mike put away the teaching schedule and, seeing that it was about time, left Core City of Truth and returned to the real world.

After arriving in the Forest of Truth, Mike noticed that no white clouds descended before him.

Ignoring the Eye of Truth's notification, Mike left the Forest of Truth and returned to New

York Superpower University.

After having breakfast, Mike headed to the meeting point for the day's activities. This time,

Blackdragon wasn't in a wheelchair!

Instead, he was lying on a stretcher.

Mike didn't know what to say. Blackdragon's life seemed too good to be true-every day, a

new skin condition.

Libra held Blackdragon's hand, repeatedly promising, "Next time, Bro, next time for sure!" Blackdragon waved his hand weakly, saying nothing.

As everyone gathered at the meeting point, the appointed time came and went, but their powerful instructor had yet to arrive.

"Instructor Joseph said he might be a little late..." Libra began, but before she could finish, a dust-covered Joseph appeared in the distance.

He was covered in gold dust, looking like a walking golden statue-so gaudy it was almost

painful to look at.

Joseph brushed off his shoulders, sending a cascade of gold flakes to the ground, and Mike's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Sorry, I got held up by something," Joseph explained. "I just got back from the First

Abyss..."
