**Chapter 209: Hot Pot, Training Camp**
Under the night sky of Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, the Continental Hotel, which should have been brightly lit, was now closed and dark. A Quinjet silently landed on the hotel Rooftop.
Nick Fury, wearing a Black Trench Coat, and Phil Coulson disembarked from the Quinjet. They were met by a burly strong man waiting on the Rooftop.
"Mr. Kane!"
Nick Fury looked at the German Men, a sharp glint flashing in his single eye, and greeted him proactively.
He first paid attention to Kane simply because of his former identity as a commander in the Dark Demon Special Forces.
Later, it was Tang Song, the Federation's biggest Gang Boss, who brought Kane back into his sights.
After all, under Tang Song, there was also his Old Friend, the Punisher Frank.
He knew Frank's Ability; it was the limit of an Ordinary Person. Even so, among the several Leader Tang Song trusted, Frank was only ranked third.
One could imagine the Abilities of the brothers Lane and Kane! Not long ago, after the White House got a new owner, Kane unexpectedly became the Director of the Secret Service, astonishing everyone, even though his term was only three months.
Before Nick Fury faked his death, he had elevated Kane's files to Level Six. He originally thought he had given Kane enough Value, but during the day, in a Small Town on the border of New Mexico, the battle between Kane and the Armor that fell from the Sky made Nick Fury realize he had still underestimated Kane.
Judging from the footage Phil sent back, the Strength Kane displayed was enough to rival the most dangerous individuals at the forefront of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Threat List.
"Director Fury, the Boss is waiting for you in the Room!"
Kane merely nodded in response to Nick Fury's displayed enthusiasm.
He raised his arm, gesturing for the two of them to walk towards the Elevator nearby.
Taking the VIP private Elevator on the top floor of the Continental Hotel, the group quickly arrived at the private room where Tang Song was.
As soon as the Elevator door opened, Nick Fury smelled an indescribable aroma of meat drifting into the suite's Living Room. A mahogany Round Table, completely out of place with the Room's decor, was set up inside.
On the Round Table was a Red Copper Hot Pot. Tang Song was using a long-handled tongs to place red-hot charcoal from an iron bucket onto the Hot Pot's copper stove.
It was high-quality fruitwood charcoal; it burned without smoke and instead emitted a faint aroma.
On a wooden rack next to the copper stove, there were five full layers of meat chunks and meat rolls.
After placing a piece of charcoal, Tang Song picked up a pair of two-foot-long Chopsticks, made of pure silver inlaid with jade, and continuously stirred the pieces of fresh meat in the Hot Pot, which were about an inch wide and glistening with oil.
As Nick Fury stepped out of the Elevator door, Tang Song, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, turned back, smiled at Nick Fury, nodded, and said, "Director Fury, and Mr. Coulson, come, come. Knowing you were coming, I specifically had someone prepare a good Lamb overnight and slice it fresh into Lamb rolls. These aren't frozen goods. Everyone, please try some."
The Phone call was made in the afternoon, and they arrived in the evening. It was clear that Nick Fury placed great Value on this meeting with Tang Song.
Kane moved over some chairs. After Tang Song invited Nick Fury and Phil Coulson to sit, he sat down directly and skillfully used his Chopsticks to quickly pick up the richly fragrant bone-in Lamb pieces from the copper pot and deftly stuffed them into his mouth.
With a bite, he tore off large pieces of Lamb with skin from the Bone.
The Lamb used for the soup base tasted similar to Lamb boiled in Clear Water, but because of the high Quality of the Lamb, the gamey smell wasn't strong.
Especially since Tang Song had added some Medicinal Herbs as the soup base, the Lamb also carried the fresh fragrance of Herbs.
Nick Fury and Phil Coulson sat down, picked up the Chopsticks Tang Song handed them, and took a couple of bites. Immediately, they couldn't stop using their Chopsticks.
Tang Song said he had added plenty of ingredients to the pot, and he wasn't exaggerating; they were all top-grade ingredients! After eating a couple of bites, Nick Fury and Phil Coulson actually felt a tingling sensation in their old injuries! The few of them buried themselves in eating. Tang Song occasionally added meat rolls and meat slices to the pot. The Lamb wasn't large, but it yielded over ten pounds of good meat.
However, everyone present had a considerable appetite, especially Kane, who cultivated the White Tiger God-Demon Transformation. If he hadn't intentionally restrained himself, these ten-plus pounds of Lamb wouldn't have been enough for him alone.
While Phil Coulson was buried in eating meat, Nick Fury ate while not forgetting the main business, saying vaguely:
"Councillor Tang, I want to know what's going on with that man who claims to be Thor and that Steel Machine that appeared in New Mexico. Are they Aliens? This concerns Earth's safety."
Tang Song scooped out a piece of Lamb from the copper pot with his Chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and savored the meat aroma. He squinted slightly, his peripheral vision sweeping over Nick Fury, and said leisurely, "Asgard, the Territory of the Norse Aesir, and also the Territory of Odin, the King of Gods, Ruler of the Nine Realms.
Oh, right, Earth is also called Midgard, the middle realm, one of the Nine Realms. Nominally, it's also under Odin's jurisdiction!"
Nick Fury put down his Chopsticks, his facial muscles trembling. "Earth is born equal. The Nine Realms, rule... that's just Myths and Legends!"
Agent May, known as the Iron Cavalry, had already reported Tang Song's words from inside the Tent through Phil Coulson. Nick Fury immediately had people review the mythological history involving Mjolnir, especially those related to Norse Legend.
Thor, Odin the King of Gods, the Nine Realms - he was certainly not unfamiliar with them! But in his view, they were just Myths and Legends! "Don't think too highly of yourselves. How many years has S.H.I.E.L.D. been established? Protecting the world... Compared to you, I know of four or five Organization secretly protecting this world, and many of them do a better job than you. Do you really think you can withstand an Alien Invasion with your current Technology?"
Tang Song picked up the Wine Glass in front of him, took a big gulp of the incredibly fragrant old wine inside, a hazy Radiance flashing in his eyes. He chuckled softly:
