He had already heard Odin speak once before Odin fell asleep, so he knew exactly what Odin wanted to say, but he didn't want Odin to repeat those words again.
He was even afraid.
Thor was slightly taken aback by Loki's expression, not understanding what was wrong with Loki, but for no reason, Thor also felt a sense of panic.
Laufey watched Odin quietly, his face expressionless.
"...There, I found a baby, a baby of the Frost Giant race. He was abandoned there, pitifully awaiting his fate of dying on his own. I knew he was Laufey's son."
"Stop talking! Stop talking!"
Loki pleaded in anguish, but his voice was completely drowned out by Odin's pronouncements.
Loki's expression and Odin's words startled Thor. He seemed to realize something and stared at Loki with wide eyes, but Loki caught his expression, which only made him more pained.
"Later, I used magic to change his skin color, took him back to Asgard and hid him, letting him grow up with Thor until much later, when I introduced him to the gods of Asgard. I thought that when he grew up, he could become the king of the Frost Giants, and my son could become the king of Asgard, so that the two races could have lasting peace and friendship."
Thor's face had completely changed; he looked at Loki in disbelief. At this point, he understood perfectly well that the baby Odin had mentioned finding was Loki!
“But he’s my brother…” Thor was shocked like never before, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

A moment later, Laufey looked coldly at Odin, his scarlet eyes filled with indifference: "Odin, are you going to kill me and exterminate our Frost Giant race?"
Odin shook his head in astonishment: "Of course not."
He is no longer the Odin of his prime who only knew how to kill.
"Then I'm leaving." Laufey walked towards the soundproof magic barrier without looking back, and the barrier shattered instantly upon his touch.
He remained where he was, leaving only Laufey's emotionless words.
“Today, the Frost Giants have suffered annihilation, and I know I can no longer avenge them. But Odin, the Frost Giants will never accept a king who killed their own people, and whether I live or die, this outcome will never change. So, you should leave. As for that abandoned child, I would rather he had died in the first place.”
