There are special lighting fixtures along the edges, making the balcony restaurant very bright.
The balcony restaurant is on the twenty-second floor. Looking down, one can see the bustling city streets filled with dazzling lights and even the orderly flying hovering vehicles in mid-air.
For a moment, it feels like entering a futuristic world.
Guided by a woman, they meet the honorable Sibba, who is enjoying food at a table on the edge of the balcony.
Sibba's overall appearance is more human-like, but she is very tall, standing at two meters. Her figure isn't particularly remarkable, and in Wanda and her companions' eyes, her looks are not especially refined. However, her attire exudes an elite aura.
Around her, seven or eight guards are watching intently.
But when they see Thor and Loki, these people's eyes are filled with doubt, seemingly questioning their identities.
"Wow, look who it is? Your Highnesses, it is such a pleasure to welcome you."
Seeing Thor and Loki, Sibba stands up and warmly gives them a hug, then invites everyone to sit down.
"Ms. Sibba, it is a pleasure to meet you."
Thor sits across from Sibba and speaks first. Sibba raises her eyebrows, brushes her golden and green braided hair back, and looks at Wanda and her companions.
"And who might these three be?"
Sibba is a bit curious, especially about Wanda and Bella. As humanoids, their aesthetic standards are almost the same. In her matriarchal society, women average around two meters tall, while men are around 1.9 meters. Although they lack the physical strength and speed of men, their intelligence is generally much higher.
In Sibba's view, Wanda and Bella appear somewhat petite but very delicate, like two dolls, likely appealing to some people.
Even Sibba herself finds them quite charming.
However, Sibba is sensible enough to realize that those who can accompany princes like Thor and Loki from Asgard are likely to have high status and should not be looked at strangely.
"Wanda, Bella, and Pietro, they are friends of Loki and me, and partners of Asgard."
Thor says seriously.
Seeing Thor's serious introduction, Sibba raises an eyebrow, further confirming the high status of Wanda and her companions.
She smiles and snaps her fingers.
Soon, female waiters arrive with trays, placing food and drinks on the table.
"Please enjoy, these are the local specialties."
Sibba is very enthusiastic, and Thor's group does not hesitate, enjoying the food without worrying about potential poisons, as beings of their level could easily neutralize any harmful substances.
The food includes grilled meats and some peculiar-looking vegetables, but they taste quite good. The only downside is the small portions, similar to some so-called high-end foods on Earth.
After eating for a while, Thor raises his glass, clinks it with the others, takes a sip, and looks at Sibba, speaking seriously: "Sibba, I need to purchase some information."
"Of course, I am happy to serve you, my Prince Thor."
Sibba smiles, clearly having anticipated this.
As a royal of Asgard, Thor has maintained a good friendship with her. She enjoys dealing with people like him because they are wealthy and generous. At their level, money isn't an issue; what matters is the accuracy of the information.
As an information broker, she has significant authority to decide whether to sell information. Wealthy people prefer to spend money for peace of mind.
"What information do you want to buy?" Sibba asks.
Thor replies seriously, "Thanos, the Mad Titan Thanos."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere seems to freeze. Both Sibba and the surrounding guards become serious.
Sibba appears to have misheard and repeats, "You want to purchase information on Thanos, the Mad Titan Thanos?"
"Yes, I want his current exact location and the composition of his forces."
Thor nods, adding details.
Sibba's breathing becomes heavy, and she looks at Thor in shock. After a while, she waves her hand, and the guards escort the waiters out of the balcony restaurant, leaving only Sibba and Thor's group.
"You've given me a big surprise, Thor."
As an experienced information broker, Sibba is very intelligent and sensitive.
For two Asgardian princes, accompanied by three individuals of potentially high status, to come seeking information on Thanos, it suggests a significant development.
It indicates that Asgard might be uniting with another powerful force to move against Thanos.
Thanos, infamous across the universe, has caused countless deaths and destruction. Many hate him, but no one has managed to kill him.
As a warlord, Thanos' power rivals that of some advanced civilizations, making him a formidable figure. His reputation instills fear in many.
Sibba, though not insignificant, pales in comparison to Thanos, like an ant to a giant.
Unwilling to get involved in such a conflict, she promptly declines, "I'm sorry, Thor, I can't help you this time."
She adds a bitter smile, "Someone like me cannot get involved in such matters."
"What if you could gain Asgard's friendship?" Loki suddenly interjects.
