"Boss, should we just kill them?"

Marcus, seeing Wen Ming's hesitation, kindly offered a suggestion.

The three of them turned pale with fright and wanted to beg for mercy, but they didn't know what to say.

After a moment of silence, Wen Ming shook his head and said, "You can leave now, but you are not allowed to appear in the United States again."

The three looked at Wen Ming in astonishment. They never expected that Wen Ming would actually let them go.

Is there absolutely no punishment?
However, Marcus had already coldly dismissed them: "Don't waste your time here."

The three of them walked towards the elevator in a daze, then went downstairs, still looking completely bewildered when they arrived at the door.

why?
Marcus also asked the same question.

After returning home, he asked Wen Ming in confusion.

“They are legitimate tenants and employees, just like the hackers and Belinda last time, so we can’t just kill them.”

Wen Ming explained, "Moreover, the Black River Society won't let them off the hook after they go back."

Perkins casually remarked from the side, "Boss, you're not sparing them because they're the same type of girl as Belinda, are you?"
You should know that these two female spies were handpicked by the other side; one is your favorite American movie star type, and the other is your favorite first love type.

Wen Ming's face immediately darkened, while Rebecca burst into laughter: "Perkins, I've figured it out, there's a reason why the boss doesn't like you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Perkins, with the air of a straightforward girl, asked, "Am I wrong?"

"You're right, I did soften my heart."

Wen Ming did not refute.

If we proceed cautiously, these people definitely deserve to be killed, including Belinda.

However, his decision to spare these people's lives was not entirely due to the soft heart that Perkins claimed.

First of all, these people, like Belinda, are just useless pawns.

Secondly, Wen Ming wanted to lure out the person hiding even deeper behind the scenes.

Since you both believe that these two women are my ideal type, and I didn't kill them like I killed others, will you make another move?

Perkins immediately became smug: "See? Even the boss himself admitted it."

However, Rebecca and Marcus had already started running outside: "Perkins, take care."

Perkins was still standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened: "Hey, where are you going?"

"Perkins!"

"What's the matter, boss?"

The 1.8-meter-tall female bodyguard looked at Wen Ming with a puzzled expression. Wen Ming walked up to her and looked down at her: "I feel like I've been a little too soft on you, so let me show you just how tough my methods are!"

When Perkins saw the stick in Wen Ming's hand, she immediately gasped, but soon she stammered and then began to scream repeatedly.

Rebecca stood outside Wen Ming's office, eavesdropping on Perkins' screams, still shaken.

Luckily, I ran fast.

Perkins is so stupid to expose his boss's shortcomings.

Now you feel good, right?

……

"Is Wen Ming free right now?"

While Wen Ming was inside reprimanding Perkins, Catwoman Selena strode out the door.

"No, the boss is busy lecturing someone right now."

Rebecca quickly stood up, her face flushed, and waved her hand in refusal, saying, "Come tomorrow."

Catwoman's cat ears suddenly perked up. She quickly heard some strange sounds through the thick door. Her face flushed slightly, and she walked away with her cat-like steps.

To lecture someone?
It seems he really enjoys disciplining disobedient people.

No wonder you were so brutal with me last time.

Rebecca looked at Selena's perfect catwalk and stunning figure, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

What kind of bosses do they actually like?
Wang Xi said he likes people with Asian faces, do I count?

Ah, no wonder the boss was so gentle with me but so fierce with Perkins.

……

At midnight, Wen Ming's bedroom door was banged on repeatedly.

Wen Ming was startled awake. He tossed aside the thick stack of Diablo expansion packs he was carrying, got up to open the door, and saw Bulma excitedly waving the device in her hand at him: "Wen Ming, the Blue Queen's combat power has been measured!"

"So fast?"

Wenming looked at Bulma with surprise and delight: "You're amazing!"

"Of course! I'm a super invincible genius beauty from the metaverse and the multiverse!"

Hearing Wenming's praise, Bulma proudly raised her chin. Wenming affectionately patted her head and said, "Don't stay up so late."

"I just wanted to add a new item to your store as soon as possible!"

Hearing Wen Ming's concern, Bulma felt a warmth in her heart. She held up the combat power detector in her hand and presented it to Wen Ming like a treasure: "Qing Hou's combat power is a bit strange, just like yours, only 3."

I suspect it's because of her unique physical constitution. Even with the adjusted wavelength, I couldn't fully measure her energy. I estimate that only when she unleashes her full power in battle can I accurately measure her combat strength.

"This is normal."

Hearing that Qinghou's combat power was only 3, Wen Ming was not surprised: "In your universe, as long as you master Qi, you can control the combat power value at will. Qinghou's combat power is the same. As long as she does not use her full strength, no one knows how strong she is. Even I don't know."

However, the fact that you were able to go from 0 to 3 proves that your research was effective.

Bulma chuckled and said, "I knew you understood me better than that idiot Tony. Actually, if we could enlarge the combat power detector, its accuracy could be improved even further."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ming had an idea: "Then let's make a large one and install it at the entrance of the Iron Hotel."

Bulma looked at Wen Ming strangely: "Why is it installed at the hotel entrance?"

"Link the combat capability detector with the entrance monitoring and the main unit of the sea queen, so that every transmigrator entering will be quickly identified, and high-energy transmigrators and dangerous transmigrators like Lex can be directly given the highest level of warning."

Wen Ming became more and more excited as he spoke: "This is equivalent to the hotel having a super early warning device, so that any time traveler can be kept under control."

Oh, and remember to add an overload protection mechanism to all the combat power detectors. In the comics, they're often destroyed by excessive combat power energy.

Bulma also got excited: "This way I can make the detector even more powerful."

At this point, Bulma was eager to go downstairs to make a larger combat power detector, but Wen Ming grabbed her arm: "You need to rest. There are only 12 hours left before you go back. Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your time on research?"

"What else can we do if we don't study it?"

Bulma got so engrossed in her research that she couldn't focus on anything else. Seeing that he couldn't persuade her otherwise, Wen Ming simply scooped her up in his arms.

"Ah, what are you doing? I need to go to the lab... Ah! Spank me!"

Bulma thrashed about in Wenming's arms, but was finally slapped into submission.

Dragon Ball girls transformed directly into steampunk princesses.

She turned completely red.

She looked up at Wen Ming's face, her enthusiasm for the research cooling down, but her gaze remained fixed on him.

So domineering.

As expected, it was my destiny.

Going out to find the Dragon Balls was definitely the best decision I ever made.

Wen Ming carried Bulma into the elevator and quickly went to her room on the second floor. The moment he put her on the bed, the Dragon Ball girl was already limp: "Wen Ming, I haven't had dinner yet."

"Oh? Then I'll go make it for you now."

"I know you brought me drinks, give me some to tide me over."

"How come I don't know what I brought?"

"milk!"

……

Outside the door, Perkins rubbed his buttocks, his face flushed, as if the slap Bulma had just received had landed on her backside.

Why does the boss like to spank people so much?

Moreover, they even hit them with sticks.

It hurts so much!
……

"Hi, Charon."

At 4:30 a.m. sharp, Flora appeared in the hall.

"Hi, Flora."

Charon looked up and greeted Flora with a standard smile: "The gym is all set up. The boss told me he'll make you breakfast on time today."

"That's great!"

Flora smiled happily and walked briskly toward the elevator, her mind already imagining what delicious food Wen Ming would cook today.

As she changed her clothes and began warming up, Evan arrived and greeted her, "Hi, Flora, have you heard? The headquarters of the Red River Group has been burned down."

“I heard about it. Yesterday was all about this. We were banned from using our phones, and many colleagues talked about it during tea breaks.”

Most importantly, Honghe Group's stock price plummeted.

Thinking of this, Flora suddenly remembered Wen Ming's earlier warning that there might be some problems with the stock price of Honghe Group. At that time, out of trust in Wen Ming, she sold all of Honghe Group's stock.

Now it seems that Wen Ming has done me a great favor.

How should I thank him?

By the way, tomorrow is the weekend again.

Evan sighed and said, "My company has some business dealings with Honghe Group. Since they had such a big incident, my business has been affected."

Flora shrugged upon hearing this: "What's there to be afraid of? The Red River Group is still around. It's just that the headquarters in the United States was burned down. We'll be able to resume business soon."

Evan nodded: "I hope so."

……

Two hours later, Flora, having finished her shower, saw Wen Ming in the restaurant on the first floor. He was busy cracking eggs into the circular molds on the teppanyaki grill.

"What are we eating today?"

Flora watched Wen Ming's pleasing movements with anticipation, and Wen Ming smiled and said, "An Eastern-style hamburger."

"Roujiamo? Wait, I remember roujiamo doesn't have eggs."

Flora watched as Wen Ming gently broke up the egg yolks in the mold with chopsticks, and then placed the meat filling on top of the eggs in the mold.

"What kind of meat is this?"

Evan also plopped down to the side, craning his neck to look at Wen Ming expectantly.

"We only have pork today."

Wen Ming cracked eggs into twenty molds, placed meat filling inside, and then, after the egg whites changed color, began to flip them over one by one.

"Hi, Flora."

Catwoman Selena arrived at the restaurant early and sat down next to Flora after seeing her.

Flora looked at her with surprise: "Selena, this bodysuit really shows off your figure!"

"Really? Your office lady outfit today is very stylish."

While complimenting Flora, Selena turned her gaze to Wen Ming, who had already scooped all 20 egg fillings out of the mold.

Set aside the egg filling. Wenming took the fermented dough from the side and began pouring it into 20 molds one by one, then placed the egg filling on top of the dough.

Once the batter has set, remove the mold and set it aside. Pour the batter back into the mold, add cucumber slices and lettuce slices, then scoop up the batter, flip it over, and put it back into the mold.

As the oil heats up and the batter expands, pancakes begin to take shape, releasing a fragrant aroma.

"So beautiful!"

Flora and Selena exclaimed in unison, watching as Wen Ming, holding a toothpick, rapidly flipped each of the 20 dough pieces one by one. His hands were quick and steady, and the 20 dough pieces were turned over in sequence, like neatly arranged soldiers. Even those with obsessive-compulsive disorder would give him a thumbs up.

The crust of the pancake turned golden brown, visible to the naked eye.

Once the first pancake had turned completely golden brown, Wenming picked up a spatula, scooped it up, placed it on a tray, and then handed it to Flora.

"Meat and Egg Burger, hope you like it!"

Flora's eyes narrowed into slits: "This is the first time I've ever seen an oriental burger like this. I've been in the Great Qian Kingdom for so long and I've never seen one before. It must be delicious."

"What about mine?"

Selena glanced at Wen Ming with her cat-like eyes, and the second meatball burger was immediately placed in front of her.

"Wen Ming, the second spot has always been my privilege!"

When Evan saw that Wen Ming had given the second meat burger to Selena, he immediately became unhappy. Wen Ming chuckled and said, "Ladies first. Don't you even have that much manners?"

Looking at the meat and egg burger placed in front of him, Evan muttered, "Ladies first. I'm afraid I won't get to eat first in the future."

"You're right, Wen Ming, give me one."

Tony appeared at the restaurant looking tired, but when he saw Selena, his eyes lit up and he plopped down next to her: "Beautiful lady, you look familiar."

"Really? That can't be right, I don't know anyone here."

Selena didn't even look up, savoring the delicious meat and egg burger.

The golden and crispy outer layer bursts with crispiness upon first bite, followed by the savory and juicy meat filling and the aroma of eggs.

The minced meat and eggs had no fishy smell, because the refreshing taste of cucumber and lettuce slices diluted the greasiness.

The aroma of oil, the caramelized fat, the egg, and the meat blend together to create a unique fragrance that lingers in the restaurant as Selena takes each bite.

"too delicious!"

Selena smiled contentedly.

It would be even more perfect if there wasn't a greasy middle-aged man next to you who talks incessantly like a male dog in heat.

"Right? Wen Ming's cooking is superb. I feel like I have no motivation to make deals if I don't eat his breakfast every morning."

Flora cheered, the meat and egg burger was unexpectedly delicious today.

Tony's face darkened when he saw the two beauties being conquered by Wenming's meat burger. He muttered under his breath, "So what if you can cook? I can build armor too."

However, both women were engrossed in the food and ignored him.

What nonsense are you spouting?

Do you think you're Iron Man?

This further discouraged Tony, who glanced at Wen Ming and said, "Make me two more, I'll take them home to eat."

"No, limited quantity, one per person."

Wen Ming refused outright, which infuriated Tony: "Why is it limited edition?"

"Because it's too troublesome to make, I want more people to be able to eat it."

Wen Ming has already started making the second round of 20. This meat and egg burger looks easy to make, but it is actually very troublesome.

Tony, having failed to flirt with the girl and not even managing to eat another meat and egg burger, was fuming as he was about to leave with his burger when Flora suddenly said, "Do you have any plans for the weekend? I'd like to go swimming."

Tony nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He had been eyeing this stunning woman for a long time, but his first attempt to seduce her failed. Then, this woman took the initiative to ask Wen Ming out.

In what way does he have an advantage over me?

Is it because I'm wearing Kryptonite glasses that you can't see how handsome I am?

However, the next second, he heard the woman, who was as elegant as a cat, say, "I also really want to go swimming, do you want to come together?"

Tony couldn't stay any longer and quickly walked out of the restaurant.

This damn hotel, I can't stand it for another day!
I'm never coming here again!
However, as soon as he stepped out of the restaurant, he saw Malena and Ida Wong coming together. The two raised their hands to greet him: "Hi, Tony, have you had the breakfast that Wenming made? We came here specifically to eat his breakfast."

Tony snorted, "Then you guys hurry up and go. There are two beautiful girls inside who are asking Wen Ming to go swimming this weekend."

Marlena burst out laughing: "Wen Ming is still so popular."

Ada Wong suddenly remembered something: "What a coincidence, I also really want to go swimming, but unfortunately I have to go see Laura today."

"Ada, once we're done with today, we can go swimming with Wenming."

As the three were talking, a voice joined in. Tony turned his head and saw Lara, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, walk in.

Countess Crawford was as sexy as ever, and Tony was itching to get her attention. But he hadn't been able to seduce her the last few times, so this time he wasn't going to make things difficult for himself and stormed off in a huff.

I'm going back to find the cover girl!
Find a dozen!
I haven't gotten out of bed all day!
……

“Pepper, could you please test all the employees for me today? I’ll get Marcus and the others to cooperate with you.”

Tony is gone, Pepper is here.

After handing her a meat and egg burger, Wen Ming ate with her while instructing her, "Use silver utensils to test each of our hotel staff members to see if anyone is possessed by a demon."

Pepper nodded, then laughed, "You're really unlucky. Your personal assistant, your work assistant, are all spies, and even the HR manager is a devil."

Wen Ming was also helpless: "I didn't expect them to use this trick at the same time."

Pepper chuckled.

Having served Stark Industries for so long, she had seen many girls who wanted to take shortcuts, planning to use a child after a one-night stand with Tony to advance their careers. But someone like Wen Ming, who used a dating strategy and managed to have two children at once, was truly rare.

Wen Ming summoned Marcus, Perkins, and Rebecca, and prepared silver swords, silver bullets, and holy water for them. These were all treasures from the Third Uncle. He then gave Marcus a combat power detector developed by Bulma: "Protect Pepper and don't let her get hurt."

"Don't worry, boss. We've already studied the methods for killing demons in Supernatural and Diablo. We'll call every employee into the demon-trapping array. As long as they're not too high-level, it shouldn't be a problem."

Marcus, after receiving the combat capability detector, said confidently, "Not to mention, we have this now."

Qinghou added, "I will be watching from the side."

The presence of Lilith, along with the appearance of two female spy employees, made Wen Ming deeply wary of every employee. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the shift change between the morning and evening shifts to start this test.

Wen Ming had considered replacing all the employees with time travelers, but at the moment, there was simply not enough manpower. In addition, he also had a deep-seated aversion to this approach.

Especially when he recalled the day he inherited the hotel and the helplessness and panic he felt when facing an empty hotel, he felt even more strongly that the hotel needed some human presence.

Even after experiencing so much betrayal, he never gave up his yearning for a better life.

He didn't want to end up like the Third Uncle, where one day all his employees would suddenly disappear for some unknown reason.

Wen Ming is now basically certain that during the Third Uncle's time, all the employees of the Iron Hotel were time travelers.

Well, except for lawyer Hansen, who is a normal person.

……

After arranging the employee screening plan for Pepper, Marcus, and others, Wen Ming handed a combat capability detector to Laura: "This is something I had Bulma rush to make. With this, you can solve some problems."

"Well, the price is tentatively set at $15. Is that acceptable to you?"

After saying that, he looked at Ada Wong and said, "Time was tight, so I only made two. One is for Pepper and the others to use to find the demon, and the other is for Laura. When you come back, I will have Bulma make another one for you."

A satisfied smile appeared on Ada Wong's lips: "I want the red one."

"it is good."

Laura glanced at Ada Wong, a playful smile on her face. "How should I thank you?"

"After you come back, will you help Malena dig for the gold treasure?"

Wen Ming suggested.

Laura smiled and was about to step forward for a farewell kiss, but Wen Ming beat her to it and naturally picked up the combat power detector to explain its functions and how to use it to the two of them.

Rebecca stood aside, observing the situation before her, and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

The boss is really popular.

……

After seeing Laura and Ada Wong off, Wenming welcomed Selena.

As soon as the catwoman entered the room, she walked seductively to Wen Ming and said, "Wen Ming, it's so hard to see you."

"Sorry, there are quite a few time travelers, and I'm feeling a bit tired myself."

Wen Ming gestured for Rebecca to pour tea for Selena, then rubbed his temples: "What brings you here this time?"

"I'm going to kill my boss, do you have any good suggestions?"

After these two encounters, Selena realized that the Metaverse Iron Hotel was not just a spatial rift. It had many amazing otherworldly goods for sale, many powerful figures to hire, and even various skills training programs such as gun training, melee combat training, vehicle driving skills, and counter-reconnaissance capabilities.

Here, as long as you have money, you can quickly increase your strength several times over.

Last night's Super Soldier Serum strategy plan also showed her that there are various combat plan development services available here.

This made her even more curious about the mysterious hotel owner.

"Your boss who sells counterfeit cosmetics? Isn't she just an ordinary person? Why don't you just attack her with a normal attack?"

Wen Ming was a little confused.

He carefully recalled the plot of the movie "Catwoman" and then a question came to mind: "Hmm, with her shamelessness, can't you whip her a few more times?"

Selena's boss had been using counterfeit cosmetics for a long time, which caused her skin to mutate and become very hard.

But as Wen Ming said, even the toughest skin will be worn down after a few lashes.

"I don't want to leave behind evidence of a crime."

Selena moved closer to Wen Ming, her face full of flattery: "You should have seen my file by now. I don't want to end up with a criminal record."

Wen Ming nodded. In "The Dark Knight Rises," Catwoman chose to cooperate with Batman in order to clear her name.

Now that Selena has been resurrected by the cat and knows her future situation, she doesn't want to repeat the mistakes in the comics and movies, leaving behind a criminal record.

"The first thing I want to confirm is this."

Wen Ming looked up at the catwoman who was so close to him: "Is your love of stealing your nature, or is it a personality trait that you developed after your resurrection?"

Selena licked her lips: "I only have these after I was resurrected. Now I have absolutely no resistance to sparkly gems."

"It seems that this is a side effect of being resurrected."

After thinking for a moment, Wen Ming said, "Then it's very simple. You already know that your boss's wife is the mastermind. You just need to be careful and you can kill her to get revenge."

"From now on, stop stealing gems from your own universe. Go steal treasures from other universes. Malena's universe happens to have a lot of treasures, including many gems."

Selena's eyes lit up: "Can I have it?"

"of course."

Wen Ming promised, "Although I can't give you everything, you can choose the ones you like first."

Free labor is free, so why not take it?

Wen Ming now feels that he is becoming more and more like a qualified boss.

Such a good employee deserves to be promised a bright future.

Selena felt a fire ignite in her heart. She plopped down in Wen Ming's lap and leaned close to him, saying, "No wonder they all like you so much. I've never met a man as generous as you before."

Wen Ming remained calm and swiftly grabbed the small hand that was groping around in his arms, pulling out his spatial capsule: "You little wildcat, you've been naughty again."

"Then do you want to punish me?"

The catwoman kept whispering in Wen Ming's ear. Wen Ming suddenly pushed her away, a whip already appearing in his hand: "I told you, if you keep up your shady dealings, don't blame me for being impolite."

Catwoman turned around triumphantly, bent over, and arched her back in a beautiful curve.

She turned to look at Wen Ming, giving him a defiant look: "Come on!"

Which man could tolerate such provocation?
Wen Ming's temper was immediately ignited. Just as he was about to lash the other party a few times, Hai Hou's voice suddenly came from the phone: "Boss, a pair of brothers have arrived at the hotel entrance. If I'm not mistaken, they are the Wen brothers."

"Who?"

Upon hearing the other person's voice, Wen Ming jumped to his feet.

Catwoman was caught off guard and was knocked over onto the sofa.

She looked at Wen Ming with a resentful expression. Wen Ming gave her an apologetic look, then quickly picked up his phone and glanced at it.
