Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 215 The New Archbishop of the Golden Dawn (8K views, please vote)
"Drag him out and kill him."

Wenming waved his hand, then looked at Dr. Dutton: "Just to be on the safe side, I need to confirm whether you are a Skrull. I don't quite remember the original plot."

Dr. Dutton was stunned: "Walter? You doubt me?"

Wen Ming nodded: "In your original destiny, you and your husband were always on the same side as the Skrulls."

Or rather, you've been using the Skrulls to achieve your dreams all along, so I don't believe you're really as innocent as you appear.

Dr. Dutton stared at Wen Ming in disbelief: "My original destiny?"

Wen Ming smiled slightly, then suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know how I saw through the fake Nick Fury and the fake Hill before?"

Dr. Dutton shook her head; she still felt a little dazed.

"Because that fake Nick Fury only protected you."

Based on his usual habits, he should have either killed you or made you continue developing the gene fusion device, but he did neither.

And his one eye—he could be cured simply by destroying the eyeball, but that would cause him to bleed green blood, which is why he dared not use that method to treat his injured eye.

Do you know where you gave yourself away?

"where?"

Dr. Dutton asked instinctively.

Wen Ming smiled and turned to Hill beside him: "Hill, can you help with this?"

Hilton straightened up and drew a dagger: "It's my duty."

The strongest deputy is online immediately.

Dr. Dutton looked at Hill in horror. She tried to run away, but 2B and A2 had somehow already pointed two long swords at her.

Dr. Dutton cried out in terror, "What are you going to do? I'm an innocent victim, and I still don't know why I was kidnapped here."

“You were rescued and you didn’t ask your husband a single question from beginning to end. When I had Widow White bring him here, you didn’t react at all, and you didn’t even look him in the eye.”

Wen Ming sighed and looked at Hill: "Thank you for your help."

Hill was extremely decisive; he reached out and stabbed Dr. Dutton's hand into the dining table with a single stroke.

The next second, everyone around turned to hatred again.

When Hill saw that the blood flowing from the other person was indeed green, her expression immediately changed: "Boss, kill him?"

"killed."

After confirming his suspicions, Wen Ming had no further thoughts. He simply waved his hand, letting Agent Hill kill the doctor who had invented the super black technology of gene fusion.

There's no point keeping it.

She's a Skrull, so she definitely won't work for the hotel willingly in the future. And even if she obediently invents that advanced technology, who knows if she'll cause trouble.

Wen Ming had only held onto a last glimmer of hope, but he never expected that she really was a Skrull.

Hill's decisiveness and strong execution skills made Wen Ming increasingly satisfied with her, so he gave her a very important task.

"No way, I worked as a waiter all night, and now I have to get stabbed before I can go home?"

Stiyl Magnus looked at Hill with great resentment. Hill nodded seriously: "To prevent anyone from sneaking into the hotel, please cooperate."

Don't even think about going back. If you do, someone will come after you and try to stab you.

Stiyl was furious: "Kanzaki, I thought you brought me here for good news, but I didn't see the enhancement you promised, and now I have to get stabbed back."

Because the event was triggered unexpectedly without prior notice, everyone arrived in a hurry and could only stay for one night or one day before having to rush back.

Kanzaki Kaori gently pushed the hilt of the Seven Days Seven Blades with her left thumb. In a flash, her right hand sheathed the Seven Days Seven Blades: "Confirmed, he is human."

Stiyl then noticed a bloody welt on the back of his right hand: "Aaaaah, Kanzaki, what's wrong with you?"

"Get out of here, don't delay Hill's work."

Kanzaki Kaori deliberately stabbed herself again, and after confirming that Sheele was human, she disappeared from the spot.

Index and Misaka Mikoto exchanged a glance.

"I fear pain."

"I'm also afraid of pain."

"How about we have Wen Ming come and get it done for us?"

"Never mind, don't bother him, he's busy right now."

After whispering for a while, the two turned to Ada Wong and said, "Could you do me a favor?"

Ada Wong smiled slightly: "Don't worry, my speed is second only to Wen Ming."

As soon as they finished speaking, a red bloodstain appeared on the back of both of their hands.

Hill took out a first-aid spray and applied it to the two women, who smiled and waved to Ida Wong, thanking her, "Thank you, Aunt Wong!"

"Ok?"

Ada Wong's eyes immediately turned hostile.

The two kids immediately realized something was wrong and called out Ada Wong's nickname. They quickly tried to shift the blame: "Sorry, Wen Ming called you that."

Ada Wong was furious and turned to confront Wen Ming.

Hill stopped her: "Don't even think about escaping. Stab yourself first."

Ada Wong was even angrier: "Which Skrull is faster than me?"

Hill acted all businesslike, which infuriated Ada Wong, but she didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, she actually stabbed herself.

When they were out together, Ada Wong never let Wen Ming down.

After confirming that Ada Wong was alright, Hill quickly took out a first-aid spray and applied it to her, then asked, "Are you leaving now or later?"

"What do you mean?"

Aunt Wang was a little puzzled.

"If you're leaving later, remember to come back here and get another cut before you go."

Hill's serious expression made Aunt Wang laugh in exasperation: "Is this why Wen Ming spent so much money to poach you?"

Everyone at the Iron Hotel knew that Wen Ming had offered millions of dollars in newbie benefits for Hill.

Although everyone knows that Wenming will not favor one over the other, and that they will all have and enjoy the same things as Hill, it is still clear how much Wenming values ​​Hill.

Hill smiled happily when she heard Ada Wong say that: "I didn't expect the boss to treat me so specially."

Ada Wong narrowed her eyes.

This woman is no ordinary person.

She wanted more.

snort!
Wen Ming is mine!
Thinking of this, Ada Wong immediately turned and went to find Wen Ming.

As for the matter of being stabbed again, why not prove it by being shot?

Since the medical pod is here anyway, I can just get a membrane repaired.

Hill watched Ada Wong's retreating figure without saying a word, then picked up his tablet and looked at the list in the table: "Next, Harley Quinn."

Harley Quinn, with a lollipop in her mouth, walked up to Hill with interest: "Could you please help me cut her down? Cut her hard, because I like pain the most."

Hill looked at Harley Quinn in astonishment.

Is there still such a requirement?
……

After entrusting Hill with the task of checking everyone, especially the Marvel Universe time travelers, Wenming returned to the White House with Natasha to continue watching the White Widows being enhanced.

One after another, the White Widows entered the metal petri dish, and after a burst of blue light, they became powerful captain-level warriors.

This feeling is incredibly fulfilling.

It feels even better than being enhanced.

"Boss, is the story not over yet?"

Perkins handed Wen Ming a glass of water and couldn't help but ask.

Wen Ming carefully recalled the plot and then asked, "Was the rebel leader, Geravi, killed?"

"He's already killed."

Miss 2B replied.

"Then the plot should be over by now."

Wen Ming looked at Qing Hou, whose super brain worked for a few minutes before she said, "There is still one important plot point left to complete."

"what?"

"The Kiss of the Century".

"What?! I don't want to watch this! Eggman and the goblin's kiss of the century, whoever wants to watch it can watch it."

Perkins completely broke down, and Natasha and Ada Wong, who had just arrived, stood there dumbfounded. Everyone was stunned.

Qinghou shrugged: "In the final scene of the original story, Nick Fury and his wife—a Skrull—passionately kissed, and then returned to the S.W.O.R.D. space station to talk to the Kree about the Skrulls."

This kiss of the century is a classic among classics.

Are you sure you don't want to take a look?

Wen Ming suddenly felt that the hundred or so white widows in front of him were no longer appealing; the scene was too irritating. "No, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do."

"Yes, that's right. The war is over. I'm going back to her universe with White."

Parkinson nodded frantically: "Boss, I'll go with you too. I'm your bodyguard."

Ada Wong, no longer caring about settling scores with Wen Ming, said, "I'm going too."

Natasha wanted to go too, but Wen Ming had already looked at her: "Natasha, these White Widows are all yours. Come find me after they've all been strengthened."

Natasha wanted to cry.

Why, why am I the one who gets hurt?

I hate it so much, why am I not a member of the DC Universe?

……

Despite the banter, Wen Ming didn't actually leave. Instead, he met with Tony, Steve, Carol, Hela, Loki, and Malena to discuss the resettlement of the one million Skrulls.

Pandora and the others were also listening in.

Originally, Wen Ming didn't want to get involved in this matter, since it concerned the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Superhero Council. However, since he had taken Nick Fury's place in initiating the "Secret Invasion" storyline, he felt he had to see it through to the end.

Moreover, who knows if a super Skrull will emerge from among the million Skrulls? Wen Ming doesn't want his White House to face such a crisis in the future.

It must be nipped in the bud.

"Heimdall has found the planet in the story. As long as we gather these Skrulls together, we can teleport them there."

Loki's gaze swept over Pandora almost imperceptibly, a hint of smugness on his face: "Only the Bifrost of Asgard can provide such teleportation capabilities."

"Tony will pay."

Wen Ming pulled Tony out without hesitation. Tony glared at him irritably: "I was going to pay anyway, but now that you've said that, I don't want to anymore. Let the Skrulls fly over there themselves."

"The cost of interstellar travel for 100 million people is thousands of times higher than the cost of teleportation."

Nick Fury shook his head, reminding Tony, "The sooner we get rid of them, the sooner our planet will be safe."

Tony scoffed, "This money should come from the Superhero Council, why should I pay for it all by myself?"

Steve immediately nodded: "Let's do it that way."

Natasha covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Among the original members of the Superhero Council, Steve was the poorest, even poorer than Malena.

Malena is Wenming's darling. Most of the Red Skull treasure seized from Universe 838 was given to Malena by the fair and just Wenming.

Now Malena is adorned from head to toe with the most precious and ancient gemstones, pearls, and gold jewelry; she is a walking treasure trove.

However, Malena wasn't the kind of stingy woman who didn't know how to treat others; she gave most of the jewelry to the hotel's female staff and the female time traveler.

Marlena is now arguably the most popular person at the Iron Hotel.

Malena and Hela are not part of the main Marvel Universe, so they are only considered as external members of the Superhero Council and do not need to contribute a single penny to its development.

Marlena, the young heiress, has a lot of money in her pocket.

However, since everyone now has access to various technologies from the metaverse and is not short of money, they do not oppose Tony's proposal; on the contrary, they think it is better.

This isn't just Tony's problem; the Superhero Council will face many more similar issues in the future, and there are already corresponding systems in place for matters involving money.

"Loki, you have to pay too. And your brother's share as well."

Natasha offered a "kind" reminder, leaving the smug Loki speechless: "Why? I've already run errands several times, and why should I pay for Thor's money?"

Thor shrugged: "I don't even have a hammer left."

Pandora sat next to Wen Ming, looking at Loki with admiration: "Loki, are you also an elder of the Superhero Council? That's amazing."

Loki immediately smoothed his hair and sat up straight: "A god like me naturally has to pay close attention to Midgard, the lower realm. I take good care of Midgard."

Tony couldn't stand Loki showing off in front of Pandora, so he retorted, "Since you're a god, why not waive the fee this time?"

Loki waved his hand and said, "Of course, the power of the Rainbow Bridge is limitless."

"You're so generous!"

Pandora immediately gave Loki the feedback he wanted to hear, but Tony objected: "No, you have to pay. That's the rule at the Iron Hotel."

Pepper and Natasha rolled their eyes in unison, while Malena burst into laughter and fell into Wen Ming's arms. Pandora looked at Wen Ming with a helpless expression. Wen Ming patted Pandora's little hand under the table, and Pandora immediately lowered her head shyly.

"We must pay him; we can't let Loki suffer a loss."

Wen Ming's statement pleased Loki, but also annoyed him as he looked at Tony.

This bastard, you're stingy yourself but you won't let me be generous?

Who do you think you are, trying to steal my woman?
"With S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Superhero Congress jointly taking action around the world, clearing out 100 million Skrulls may be more difficult than imagined." Dealing with refugees is never a simple matter for Western countries; politicians might jump out to offer them asylum in order to gain votes.

In order to get into power, they never hesitate to distort the truth.

They don't even care about saving face.

Many Skrulls who have become accustomed to life in Midgard are not necessarily willing to leave. After all, they have lived here for so many years, integrated into the local life, and some have even gotten married.

This falls under the category of political disasters. Some countries may take a hard line, while others may hold back, ultimately resulting in a settlement of Skrulls who are unwilling to leave.

Even more surprisingly, the main leader was replaced once again.

"It's very simple. Let the leaders we rescued earlier step forward and push this matter forward forcefully."

Wen Ming pointed out, "No one understands the horror of this matter better than the victims."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the matter was settled.

After finishing their conversation, Wen Ming looked at Thor, who looked utterly defeated: "What's wrong? Didn't manage to win over your girlfriend?"

Thor looked utterly dejected: "She treated me like a madwoman and kicked me out of school."

At this time, the female Thor was only 19 years old and still a freshman in college. She didn't hesitate to call 911 when this man who had barged in and claimed to be her future boyfriend and that she would die of cancer.

Poor Thor, if he hadn't managed to run back to the Iron Hotel in time, he probably would have been stuck picking up soap in prison.

For the past few days, he has been loitering outside Jane Foster's school, trying to win over his future girlfriend, but she has been avoiding him.

"Keep up the good work, she will be your destined girlfriend, the future female Thor."

Seeing that Wen Ming had designs on this doomed female Thor, Natasha suddenly smiled and said, "How about I help you? Women understand women best. I'll be the middleman for you."

Thor was overjoyed: "Thank you so much!"

After finishing the little anecdote about Thor, Wen Ming couldn't wait to stand up: "Excuse me, I need to excuse myself. Carol, let's go talk about what you've gained this time."

Carol couldn't wait any longer and excitedly stood up: "Let me see if you can fight me all day long after you've been injected with the Super Soldier Serum."

Tony couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this.

Falk.

This is Captain Marvel!
A superheroine named after our universe!
I'm actually throwing myself at that bastard Wen Ming. What do I lack compared to him?

However, something even more astonishing happened to Tony: Hela, the goddess of death, suddenly stretched and asked, "Am I qualified to have a conversation with you all?"

Loki and Thor sat up straight at the same time, both glaring at Wen Ming.

You better behave yourself, kid!
That's our older sister!
Wen Ming seemed oblivious to the eye rolls from the three and nodded happily: "Of course, if Carol's gains are all successful, the story of Captain Marvel 2 will end, and all of you will receive a boost, including Hela and Malena, who should also be boosted."

Hearing this, Hela became even more interested. She got up and walked to Carol's side: "To your room?"

"of course can."

Carol looked at Wen Ming with a questioning gaze, and only after seeing Wen Ming nod did she readily agree.

Before Tony and the others could say anything more, Wen Ming suddenly looked at Nick Fury and said, "You'd better hurry up and finish your 'Kiss of the Century,' it'll be good for everyone."

Nick Fury's face immediately darkened, well, it darkened even more.

Tony, Thor, and Loki's expressions also became quite interesting.

"A kiss of the century!?"

Fuck! Nick Fury, how could you do that?!

Nick Fury also wanted to curse, but the problem was, who could he complain to?

The current storyline is different from the original "Secret Invasion".

In the plot of "Secret Invasion", he had been living with that Skrull for decades and had exercised countless times.

Now, well, his wife, Dr. Priscilla Davis, had just died of congenital heart disease, and the Skrull hadn't been in her place for very long.

How can I possibly bring myself to eat that?

Damn Fuck!

Who did I offend?

……

Nick Fury couldn't bring himself to say it, but Wen Ming's mouth was now blocked.

Upon arriving at Carol's room, Captain Marvel eagerly pushed Wen Ming down onto the sofa: "Thank you. I've reconciled with the Kree and received Monica Rambeau's forgiveness."

I am living more easily now than ever before.

I owe it all to your help.

"Seeing you happy makes me happy too."

Wen Ming didn't expect Captain Marvel to be so enthusiastic. She used to be so arrogant, why is she so excited this time?
However, Wen Ming wasn't overjoyed. He knew she was just excited for a moment, so he patted her bottom and said, "Hela is here too."

Captain Marvel didn't care at all: "She came of her own accord. Either she joins, or she gets out."

Hela laughed: "I wanted to see what good things I could absorb power from."

Carol snorted, "Wen Ming is a good man. You people shouldn't always be thinking about taking from him without giving anything in return."

"What did you pay for it?"

Hela scoffed, "Let me see."

Carol raised an eyebrow, sat up from Wen Ming, pulled a box from behind her and stuffed it into Wen Ming's arms, glancing at Hela: "This is a quantum bracelet containing the power of spacetime, the most urgently needed artifact for the Iron Hotel. There are two such artifacts. I can get the other one for Wen Ming soon. What about you?"

Don't think I don't know you've been freeloading off Wen Ming all this time.

Hela paused, "Once my true form breaks free from the seal, I will be able to obtain all the artifacts in my father Odin's treasury. Those artifacts will all be gifts I give to Wenming."

"Heh, so you mean you didn't give Wen Ming anything?"

Carol scoffed, "In the words of the Great Qian Dynasty, 'getting something for nothing'? You've been getting things for free all this time?"

Hela was furious. When had the Goddess of Death ever been ostracized like this? She immediately donned her divine gear, ready to fight this amazing captain.

Both of them were proud and arrogant, and when they went to hunt down the Skrull high-ranking members together, they had already set out to compete.

Carol possesses formidable strength, excelling at overcoming all odds with sheer force, and her domineering style is no less impressive than Hela's.

Because Hela is not the original form, her strength is slightly inferior, but she is experienced and her methods far surpass those of Carol.

They couldn't even settle things before, but now they're at it again. Hela wants to show this so-called Marvel darling, who's named after her universe, the power of the Goddess of Death.

Why are you named Captain Marvel? I, Death, am the most powerful woman in the Marvel Universe.

A2 and 2B, who were standing at the door, were a little nervous when they saw this scene, and they couldn't help but reach out to touch the hilts of their knives.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Wen Ming quickly coughed lightly. He grabbed Carol's right hand, which was radiating photon energy, with his left hand, and grasped the Night Sky Sword in Hela's left hand with his right hand: "Carol, Hela, you two are the most brilliant stars in the universe, and also my favorite idols. On such a beautiful night, why don't we sit down and have a drink together?"
Carol, I'd love to hear about your adventures lately. I think Hela must be very interested in the planet where Star-Lord's father lives.

Hela, I'd also like to hear your recent thoughts on Asgard. Carol has witnessed so many interstellar civilizations; she can surely offer some inspiring suggestions.

Carol looked down at her right hand, which was firmly held, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Hela looked down at her wrapped left hand and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"If we don't have a good chat tonight, don't blame us for taking care of you."

"Of course, if one night isn't enough, there's another day tomorrow. I guarantee you two will be completely satisfied!"

Wen Ming revealed a confident smile.

A2 and 2B breathed a sigh of relief and took their hands off the knife handles.

The boss is indeed impressive.

It actually calmed down such a powerful woman.

Hehe, the boss is indeed a master at persuasion.

……

"I heard the boss has been in your universe for a long time?"

After Harley Quinn returned to the DC Universe to settle her affairs, she went back to the Marvel Universe and was extremely excited when she saw Sephiroth with his long silver hair.

“That’s right. If it weren’t for Yuan Yuzhou’s business, the boss would probably have stayed a few more days.”

Sephiroth was a little reserved because the way Harley Quinn was looking at him made him uncomfortable.

However, he soon realized that Harley Quinn's gaze was not on him, but on his mother, Lucy Lucia, who was standing beside him.

"Luclucia, doesn't it feel good to be saved by your boss?"

Harley Quinn licked her lips; she smelled the scent of her own kind.

Upon hearing this, Lucy nodded and said, "I used to think about redeeming others, but I never imagined that when I was redeemed myself, I would feel so happy and relaxed."

Now that I know that my son Sephiroth and I can both completely overcome the Genoa virus and return to being ordinary people, I feel happier than I have ever been in my life.

Harley picked up her glass and said slowly, "Actually, the boss also needs redemption, doesn't he?"

"Oh?"

Lucy showed interest: "How so?"

Harley leaned close to Lucy's ear and said, "The boss is an orphan, you know that, right?"

"Ah."

Lucy nodded. Wen Ming had mentioned this when he was persuading her to see her son, Sephiroth.

Harley continued in a low voice, "The boss really needs maternal love. Just think about it, in the most prosperous area of ​​the largest city in the metaverse, an outsider supports such a mysterious hotel without even a powerful backer. You can imagine how difficult it must be for him."

He had no confidants, and corporate spies were everywhere trying to steal the hotel's secrets. Even his crush, a fellow alumnus, was used to deceive him.

Many investors wanted to take the hotel from him, and he had survived more than one assassination attempt in the past few days.

A strange light flashed in Lucy's eyes as she felt a long-lost sense of responsibility suddenly well up in her heart: "It seems that the boss hasn't been very happy these past few years."

"Yes, he's surrounded by girls younger than him, and even those older than him aren't much older. They don't know how to be considerate."

Every time we're together, he calls her...you know what I mean.

Harley gave a slightly embarrassed look, then quickly leaned close to Lucy's ear and said, "Don't you think that a man like this, just like your son, deserves your maternal love?"

Lucy's breathing quickened: "Me? Do I even deserve that?"

Harley Quinn said softly, "How will you know if you don't try?"

The strange color in Lucy's eyes grew stronger.

Come to think of it, it seems like it's been 20 years since I've protected anyone.

I can't hold it back any longer.

A happy smile appeared on Harley Quinn's lips.

Patients understand each other best.

What's more, I'm a professional psychologist.

Your son Sephiroth is absolutely incapable of fulfilling your caregiving complex.

After a while, you'll feel empty.

Starting with you, once I win you over, I'll completely win over that simp Vincent and your dutiful son Sephiroth.

Speaking of which, should I go and meet those two women that the boss is so obsessed with?

Let's play it safe for now. We don't know the boss's progress on the strategy yet. I'll wait for the right opportunity to become a good wingman.

Without Shinra Corporation, this desolate world needs the boss to save it.

The land favored by the gods will gain new territory!

Lucy Lucia, you are the most suitable archbishop.

……

"I feel like I could beat ten times my former self. Most importantly, I'm prettier than before. My boss is amazing!"

"This serum is amazing! It enhances our physical abilities without turning us into ugly muscle women. Instead, it makes our bones and muscles more toned. I can't even imagine what it will feel like when our opponents are slapped away by my tiny self in the future."

"When is the boss coming? Didn't he say he was coming to talk to us? Everyone's almost finished upgrading, why isn't he here yet?"

……

Inside the white house, the white widows excitedly talked about their new bodies and their big boss.

The quick-witted Renata, along with the sisters Aisie and Ellie, formed a small alliance. They whispered among themselves, "When the boss comes later, we need to find a way to get in front of him and make a good impression."

"I think we can give the boss more water to drink, and then he will be more likely to go to the toilet."

Aisie's eyes suddenly lit up: "Great, then we can go to the toilet..."

The three women exchanged glances and became excited.

Unbeknownst to the three women, the same discussion was taking place in other small teams, with each of the white widows pondering how to leave a lasting impression on Wen Ming.

Yelena and Antonia nestled happily on the sofa, summarizing their takeaways.

The two were the biggest winners this time, as each of the white widows was taught a trick of Wenming's hobby.

"Antonia, don't let your sister know what we've been doing."

"Don't worry, as long as they don't spread rumors, I definitely won't spread rumors either."

As the two sisters were discussing, the door of the White House suddenly opened, and Wen Ming, dressed in a suit, walked in with steady steps, accompanied by A2 and 2B, Maria Hill, Natasha, Carol, Hela, and Harley Quinn.

The white widows immediately surrounded them excitedly, and Yelena and Antonia quickly joined in as well.

Looking at the expectant gazes, Wen Ming smiled with satisfaction: "Hello, White Widow."

……

I'm asking for your monthly votes at the end of the month; there's a giveaway!
