Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 217 Don't rush to die, I want to hear you say "With great power comes great responsibility" (8K)

"Hello, beautiful diva, it's an honor to meet you."

"Hello, Lord of the Metaverse, it is my honor to meet you."

In the spacious and bright reception room of the British Parliament, soft light spilled onto the floor, reflecting a faint glow.

Wen Ming gazed at the goddess before him—Queen Frigga, draped in a magnificent yet elegant Asgardian robe, her golden hair adorned with star-like jewels, while beside her, young Loki sat quietly, his green eyes sparkling with a rare docility.

Queen Frigg's voice flowed like a clear spring, carrying the unique rhythm of the divine realm. Wen Ming's nerves unconsciously relaxed; he hadn't expected this legendary queen to be so approachable.

“To be honest…” he couldn’t help but laugh, admiration in his eyes, “You are my idol, you are even more admirable than I imagined.”

Frigga tilted her head slightly, a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Oh?"

Harley and Selena, who were sitting next to Wen Ming, exchanged a glance upon hearing this, both of them seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.

The two nodded slightly, without saying much, but they both understood what they had to do next.

Qinghou stood to the side, smiling without saying a word.

She heard it too.

"You could have stayed out of the Dark Elf invasion, but you stood up for a mortal."

Wen Ming's voice gradually hardened: "What shocked me even more was that, knowing you had the opportunity to know your own fate and avoid tragedy, you still chose to let Thor complete his mission—even if it meant..."

Wen Ming's gaze briefly swept over Loki beside him, but he did not continue speaking.

Frigga's gaze softened, her fingertips gently tracing the armrest of the chair, as if touching a distant future.

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the choice to move forward despite fear,” she said softly. “I was just doing what an Asgardian queen and a mother should do.”

Loki's body trembled slightly; he understood his mother's unspoken meaning.

If the situation were to happen again, the Empress Dowager would make the same choice.

This is my most beloved mother.

Wen Ming nodded deeply: "Therefore, your title is well-deserved—the 'Queen of Asgard,' not only because of your status, but also because of your kindness, fearlessness, and the heart that truly belongs to the Queen of Asgard."

Frigga smiled slightly: "Mr. Wen, it's really comfortable chatting with you. No wonder Loki praised you more than once when he told me about this last night."

My two sons must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?

Thor blushed as he walked into the hall. He obediently sat down next to Frigga, who patted his head affectionately and said, "If they do anything wrong, I hope you can be more forgiving."

Thor immediately denied it, saying, "I didn't, it was Loki, Loki actually attacked..."

Seeing that Thor was about to complain, Loki immediately interrupted, "Mother, since Thor came to the hotel, he has been drinking and sleeping every day and has never thought about returning to Asgard."

Frigga looked sternly at her two sons. They had wanted to continue complaining about each other, but under her stern gaze, they were speechless.

"Frigga, I'm a mother too, and I understand how you feel."

Wenming is a benevolent metaverse lord who has already forgiven Loki's rudeness and given Thor various guidance.

I think they will definitely grow up quickly.

Sitting on the other side of Wenming, Lucysia, with a warm smile, comforted the Queen who was scolding her two sons, and then extended an invitation on Wenming's behalf: "I once wanted to die but couldn't, so I can understand and admire your composure and courage in the face of death. But Wenming taught me that there are still people in this world who can be cherished. Why make the people you care about the most sad and cry?"
Originally, after your death, your two sons also experienced many misfortunes. I know this is a necessary process for men to grow up, but it was too heavy for them.

Not for your own sake, but for theirs, I think you should think about it carefully.

Joining the hotel provides a source of confidence and strength for children's future growth.

Upon hearing Lucy's words, Thor and Loki's eyes immediately reddened, and Frigga's gaze melted as well.

She hugged the two children and kissed them on the forehead.

After watching all the videos last night, she cried all night, heartbroken over the future of her two children.

Loki died a tragic death, but he never betrayed Asgard and did not tarnish the glory of the gods, so his death can be considered a heroic one.

But Thor felt his son was truly pitiful.

His father died of old age, his mother died tragically, his younger brother died tragically, his older sister chased after him, his beloved hammer was crushed, his future girlfriend died of cancer, and he even went blind in one eye...

Compared to him, Loki had a relatively peaceful end.

Seeing this, even the usually sharp-tongued Tony became quiet.

This family is truly pitiful.

Pepper and Maria Hill's eyes were both red, and they looked at Wen Ming with pleading in their eyes.

Frigga looked at Wen Ming with red eyes, and was about to speak when a voice suddenly rang out: "Hi, Mother."

Frigga was startled and turned to look at the doorway, where she saw Hela, dressed in a ladylike outfit, standing there gracefully.

Hela!

Frigga couldn't help but stand up and go to Hela: "You, when did you come out?"

Hela hugged Frigga tightly: "I am Hela from Universe 838, in my alternate form."

Frigga was slightly taken aback, then hugged her even tighter: "You haven't had a good time these past few years, have you?"

Hela's eyes suddenly reddened, and she tilted her head back to stop her tears from falling: "My life has gotten better since I met Wenming."

"That's good."

Frigga felt relieved. She kissed Hela's forehead and looked at Wen Ming: "Mr. Wen, thank you for saving my three children."

"It's my pleasure."

Wen Ming smiled slightly: "They are also very filial to you and have been trying to find ways to prevent your death."

Can we talk alone?

After the formal meeting ended, Frigga made her request, and everyone present stood up to say goodbye. Loki was a little worried, but Frigga patted his hand to reassure him.

Loki followed Hela and Thor to the plaza outside.

Thor gazed at the sky, oblivious to everything, while Loki suddenly grew agitated: "What will Mother talk about with Wenming?"

Thor grunted, "Wasn't it about joining the hotel?"

Loki was exasperated: "Can't you stop thinking only about drinking and think about this properly? If we were to join the hotel, why did Mother kick us out?"

Thor was completely bewildered. He looked at Loki and Hela in astonishment, only to see worry on both of their faces.

Even though this queen mother wasn't Hela's mother from Universe 838, Hela still felt somewhat worried.

Thor suddenly realized that as a son, he had been neglecting his mother.

"I want to go in."

Thor turned to go inside, but Hela grabbed him and held him back in place: "Stay here quietly, Wenming will definitely find a way to persuade your mother."

Thor is now just a mortal and can't escape Hela's magic at all; he can only stare intently at the direction of the hall.

Never before had he been so eager to regain his strength.

Father, open your eyes and look at me!

I must go save my mother!

……

"Luclucia, you did a great job just now."

Harley Quinn walked to the other side of the square and, together with Selena, showered Lucy with praise: "Frigga clearly broke down after hearing what you said."

"I was very nervous just now, I was really afraid of causing trouble for Wen Ming."

Lucy looked terrified, but Harley Quinn clearly noticed that Lucy's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were filled with great satisfaction.

Harley licked her lips and encouraged, "I told you, you can do it. With you around, the boss can have a lot less to worry about."

"is it?"

Lucy's eyes gleamed with excitement: "Then I'll spend more time with him and help him from now on."

"That's it."

Harley and Selena smiled at each other.

Archbishop Lucilucia, await your boss's appointment.

……

Once everyone had left, Frigga approached Wenming: "My husband, Odin, the King of Gods, could you...?"

"I can't help dying of old age naturally."

Wen Ming was surprised that the first thing the other party said was to ask for a chance for her husband, which made him realize how much this goddess cared about Odin.

Even though Odin secretly ate so many things behind her back.

"Okay, that's asking for too much."

Frigga chuckled self-deprecatingly, then said, "Loki offended you before, and I know you are very magnanimous. The Eternal Flame and the Box of Ice are not enough to express your apology, so I brought you my Book of Sorceresses."

As Frigga finished speaking, a thick book appeared out of thin air in her hand.

Looking at the Book of Witches presented to him with both hands, Wen Ming smiled slightly.

As the queen of Asgard, Frigga is definitely a virtuous and capable wife.

This level of social skills is far beyond what those two fools, Thor and Loki, can compare to.

However, Wen Ming is no ordinary person.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept it."

Wen Ming's words made Frigga pause, her hands clasped together. "This is just a small token of my appreciation, nothing more."

Wen Ming smiled slightly: "Compared to the Book of Witches, I would much rather have the owner of the Book of Witches."

Frigga's body trembled slightly. She looked up at Wen Ming and saw a glint of wisdom in his eyes: "Your husband can't be saved. Do you also want to go with him and not join my hotel?"

Having her thoughts exposed, Queen Frigga pursed her lips: "You are more insightful than I imagined."

Wen Ming stepped forward, looking at the celestial queen who was determined to die with great pressure: "Do you really have the heart to let your two sons fight against your beloved daughter who is sealed away in the future, causing Ragnarok in Asgard?"

Can you really bear to watch your eldest son grow old alone?
Can you really bear to watch your youngest son be strangled to death by Thanos?
Can you really bear to watch your eldest daughter be killed by the fire giant Surtur with a single sword strike?
Can you really bear to watch your countless Asgardian citizens die tragically at the hands of your daughter and Thanos?
They loved and adored you so much, yet you had the heart to abandon them and follow your old, dead husband?
So, is your divine empress truly as loving as she portrays herself to be?

Or perhaps, you're just a selfish woman?

A look of struggle and pain flashed in Frigga's eyes.

If she hadn't known her future fate, she might have truly faced her death with the same equanimity as she had originally envisioned.

She was a princess of the Vanir gods, the queen of Asgard, and had lived for thousands of years, having long since become indifferent to everything.

Death is not scary.

If killed by the Dark Elves, she will be enshrined in Valhalla, the highest honor in Asgard.

But as Wen Ming questioned her one after another, she suddenly felt that if she didn't do something after learning about her future fate, would she really be as selfish as Wen Ming said?

Wen Ming took another step forward, pressing closer: "You don't actually think you can die by entrusting them all to me, do you?"

I bet after you give me the Book of Sorcerers, you'll also give me all of Odin's treasures as compensation.

Frigga took a half step back in astonishment, staring intently at the handsome young man in front of her.

How could this young man guess my thoughts so accurately?
They even guessed what they would give away next.

Compared to him, her two sons and daughters were far inferior.

Frigga pursed her lips, wanting to deny it, but found herself at a loss for words. Finally, her voice involuntarily weakened: "You won't just leave them to fend for themselves, will you?"

Even Frigga herself didn't realize that a hint of pleading had unconsciously crept into her voice.

Wen Ming chuckled: "Your youngest son loves you very much and used the Eternal Flame to exchange for your qualification to join the hotel."

But why should I be so kind as to clean up the messes of these two idiots?

You know very well that both of your sons are troublemakers.

And your sealed daughter, she's not as easy to talk to as Hela from Universe 838. Why should I take on this troublesome matter?

I'm not their father!
Yes, it's not just one, it's many.

Because you still think of me rescuing your Asgardian people.

I have to say, you and Odin are both incredibly irresponsible.

Your selfishness has disappointed me greatly.

Frigga's body trembled; Wen Ming had pierced a hole in her calm demeanor.

This caused her to panic for the first time since arriving at the Superhero Council's hall: "What, what do you want?"

Wen Ming's lips curled up: "Beautiful and kind-hearted diva, all your previous assumptions were based on the premise that I was a good person, right?"

Frigga didn't understand why Wenming was suddenly saying these things, and she nodded unconsciously.

Now, she is completely being led by Wen Ming's pace.

Wen Ming smiled and said, "What if, and I mean what if, I'm not a good person?"

Frigga's gaze suddenly changed. She suddenly guessed a possibility, while Wen Ming said with a smile, "Odin is about to die, and you don't care about your sons, daughters, and people anymore. Why can't I just take over everything in Asgard?"

Frigga was immediately terrified, but Wenming continued, "All your expectations were just about getting my help."

I have plenty of ways to make your two sons and one daughter die obediently according to their predetermined fate, not a day longer, and I might even trigger Ragnarok earlier than planned.

Beautiful diva, you wouldn't want to see all this happen, would you?

Frigga's body finally trembled uncontrollably: "What do you want?"

"you."

Wen Ming looked down at the beautiful diva: "I want you."

"I?"

Frigga looked up at Wen Ming in astonishment, trying her best to maintain her diva dignity and pride: "I will not..."

"I want you to voluntarily join my hotel."

Wen Ming looked at Frigga with a puzzled expression: "What were you trying to say?"

Frigga froze, a blush quickly spreading across her face. She felt she hadn't been so embarrassed in a thousand years, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wen Ming. Who told you to talk so ambiguously?

Wen Ming looked at her seriously: "What? You don't want to?"

"No, I, I'm willing."

Frigga sighed; she had to admit that this man was far too good at persuasion.

She's quick-witted and sharp-tongued, but you can't beat her at all.

No wonder his daughter from the 838th universe is so well-behaved in his hotel now.

She even wore a ladylike outfit today!
Wen Ming smiled happily when he heard that Frigga had agreed to join.

After winning over Frigga, Thor and Loki will have to work for him obediently. Both Hela from the main universe and Hela from universe 838 will have to give him some face.

Moreover, Frigga herself is a powerful witch, and her witchcraft, magic, and melee combat skills are by no means inferior.

This is equivalent to recruiting a powerful melee mage for yourself.

Killing five birds with one stone.

I am so awesome.

It seems my silver tongue has become even more potent! No one can hold out for more than three minutes!

By the way, should we get Frigga from Universe 838 using the same method?

At that time, two Asgardian goddesses, two of Odin's wives, will serve as his secretaries, and they will look exactly alike.

Wen Ming suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart.

Frigga felt uncomfortable under his intense gaze: "I... I'll go back to the Celestial Palace first."

"Don't leave in a hurry."

Wen Ming stepped forward again, standing in front of Frigga: "I haven't given you your employee benefits yet."

Frigga's gaze drifted slightly: "I don't really care about benefits, as long as you can... ah..."

Before Frigga could finish speaking, Wen Ming grabbed her hand and disappeared from the spot.

The next second, she arrived at the rooftop of the Iron Hotel.

"This...this is the metaverse?"

Frigga looked around in astonishment; she hadn't sensed any magical fluctuations or spatial energy at all.

This Wen Ming is so mysterious.

So powerful.

"Great. Since you're here, I'll give you the newbie perks."

Wen Ming pulled her toward the stairwell, not forgetting to greet Yuan She at the same time.

Frigga was surprised to see the Yuan Snake, which looked like a sculpture. She quickly waved to her. Just as she was about to enter the elevator with Wen Ming, she suddenly looked in the direction of Building 2 with a serious expression: "Mr. Wen, there is a powerful magician there."

Wen Ming didn't even turn his head: "That's why I want you."

"what?"

Frigga's mouth dropped open, and she was a little taken aback, but she soon realized that she had been led into the elevator.

"From now on, you can call me Wen Ming, or Boss, either is fine."

Seeing that Frigga was still a little uncomfortable, Wen Ming tried to make her relax: "Generally speaking, nothing major will happen in the metaverse. If other universes need to, they will issue missions. You can accept them if you want, or you can stay in the hotel or go back to Asgard if you don't want to."

You can explore anything within a ten-kilometer radius of the metaverse.

“I don’t have the energy to go shopping. There’s so much to do in Asgard.” Frigga shook her head.

Wen Ming squeezed her hand tightly: "Now that you're at the hotel, you're a member of the metaverse. You need to learn to make yourself happy and stop living for others."

Frigga rolled her eyes again: "Who was it that used someone else to coerce me into joining?"

She felt that she had rolled her eyes more times today than she had in the last hundred years.

But this gave her an experience she had never had before.

Her marriage to Odin was a political one; she was married off to Asgard without ever having a courtship.

After living together for thousands of years, the bond between the two is more like kinship.

After all, it has taken too long.

Wen Ming shrugged: "I just wanted to have you."

Frigga held back for a while, but in the end, she still lost her diva composure and retorted, "Boss, I've discovered that you're very good at making excuses."

"As long as I can get you to work for me at the hotel, you can scold me however you want."

Wen Ming's shamelessness finally made Frigga unable to take it anymore: "I want to go back."

"Don't rush, let me see if I can give you an injection, it's a newbie perk."

"An injection? Where?"

"Where do you want to hit?"

……

"How long have Mom and Wenming been chatting?"

Outside the Great British Parliament hall, Thor's patience was wearing thin. He looked at the setting sun in the distance, feeling increasingly agitated.

"It's been 8 hours. That bastard Wen Ming better not try anything funny."

Loki also frequently looked towards the hall. He never expected the conversation to last so long, which left even the usually astute Loki somewhat puzzled as to what the two had been discussing.

Hela, engrossed in watching a show on a recliner, couldn't help but scoff at Thor's words: "Your mother is the Queen of Asgard. Do you think their negotiations will be so simple? It's bound to be a long battle. Just wait and see."

Thor and Loki immediately fell silent.

However, the two brothers exchanged a glance and both understood each other's thoughts.

This older sister from Universe 838 is getting too close to Wen Ming.

As the sun set and the moon rose, at eight o'clock in the evening, the door, which had been closed for 12 hours, was finally opened.

When Thor and Loki saw Frigga appear before them with a rosy complexion, they rushed to greet her, and Hela put away her popcorn and drinks and stood up.

"Mother, did Wenming make things difficult for you?"

Thor looked anxious, and Loki snorted, "If he dares to make any unreasonable demands, I'll teach him a lesson."

"Shut up. You're not allowed to disrespect the boss anymore," Frigga scolded lightly.

"Walter?"

Thor and Loki were both astonished.

what's the situation?
It's only been 12 hours, why are you already defending that kid?
Hela noticed that Frigga had even changed her clothes and touched up her makeup. She couldn't help but look at Wen Ming beside her, who looked helpless: "Frigga, look at this. If you weren't here, they would definitely bully me from now on."

Frigga patted her two silly sons and said, "Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely teach them properly when I get back."

"Hmm, Thor can't go back yet. Loki, you come back with me."

"what?"

Thor was dumbfounded: "Mother, take me back. I know I was wrong. I want to apologize to Father in person."

"No, you still don't realize you're wrong."

Frigga gently patted Thor's head, but her words were incredibly stern: "You've already seen your future destiny, yet you still can't lift your hammer. This shows you haven't reflected enough."

Thor immediately deflated, and Loki winked at him smugly, which made Thor even angrier.

Just then, Frigga walked up to Hela and said, "Although you are Hela from Universe 838, you are still my daughter. Grow up quickly so that you can govern your Asgard well."

Hela lowered her proud head: "Mother, don't worry, I won't be the same as before."

"That's good. I look forward to the day you become queen, and I also pray that I can go to Universe 838 to send you my blessings on that day, before I die."

Frigga kissed Hela, then waved to the crowd and disappeared.

After watching Frigga leave, Wen Ming waved to Carol in the distance: "Carol, let's go get the last quantum bracelet."

Carol walked over happily, and when she saw Hela there, she habitually quipped, "What? Haven't you opened your father's treasury yet?"

Hela clenched her fist: "It's just a quantum bracelet. If you can get it, then I can definitely get it in Universe 838 as well. Wen Ming, you wait for me."

After saying that, Hela disappeared from the spot, and Wen Ming couldn't help but laugh: "Thank you."

"Wen Ming, shouldn't you say thank you to me?"

Wen Ming smiled happily: "I'll treat you well when this is over."

Carol's lips curled up slightly: "Let's go, that place isn't far from here."

Wen Mingchao waved to Qinghou: "We now have more convenient ways to travel."

Qinghou chuckled softly, grabbed the two of them, and activated the sonic boom channel. The three of them disappeared from the spot.

Thor was the only one left in the vast square.

He suddenly felt very lonely.

Having grown accustomed to the bustling Asgard, he experienced an indescribable loneliness more than once after arriving in Midgard.

Is this also one of Father's tests?
Just as Thor was pretending to be constipated and contemplating life, Natasha walked over and said, "Come on, I'll help you woo the female Thor."

"You really want to help me?"

Thor looked at Natasha with delight, while Black Widow chuckled, "I'm Marvel's number one confidante, don't worry, I'll definitely help you strike up a conversation with her."

"Natasha, if you help me win her over, I will definitely be your best ally from now on!"

For his own sexual happiness, Thor made a promise on the spur of the moment, but Natasha shook her head: "I can only guarantee that you can talk to her, whether you can win her over is up to you."

"Alright! As long as I can strike up a conversation, I'll be your best ally!"

An excited Thor didn't care about the difference between the two; he was already fantasizing about the future where he and the female Thor would wreak havoc in the Marvel Universe.

Yeah, no, not just the Marvel Universe, I'm going to go with her to other universes and wreak havoc.

As for whether or not I will be rejected?
joke!

I'm Thor! If I can strike up a conversation with her, I'll definitely win her over!

Natasha casually waved her hand, and a somersault cloud appeared beneath her feet: "Let's go, I can't wait to meet the future female Thor."

A doomed female Thor?

Haha, wouldn't that be like a new employee delivered right to your door?

Boss, how are you going to reward me tonight?
……

There are two quantum bracelets in total, one buried on planet MB418 and the other in the house of the Amazing Girl.

Carol had previously found the one on planet MB418. When Qinghou contacted Carol, Carol and Qinghou joined forces to dig it out of planet MB418.

The one in the house of the Amazing Girl is the easiest to find; you can easily locate it by following the name of the Amazing Girl's mother, so it was placed last.

When Qinghou activated the sonic boom tunnel to bring the two to the location of the Amazing Girl's mother's house, the middle-aged woman in the show was now a beautiful young woman.

"Just got married?"

Carroll stood outside the window, watching the happy couple inside the house, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

"There are still 22 years until the story of Marvel Girls begins, and Kamala hasn't even been born yet."

Qinghou explained from the side, but when she saw Carol's envious look, her eyes lit up, and she whispered in Carol's ear, "The boss is a good choice, you know. Have you ever considered having a magical boy or a magical girl with him?"

Carol's face flushed red, and her eyes showed a hint of panic: "I'll go in and get the quantum bracelet."

"No, I'll do it. You guys will make too much noise."

Qinghou chuckled and transformed into a stream of data, entering the room. Carol was somewhat at a loss, but Wen Ming chatted with her: "Was the trip to planet MB418 smooth?"

"It went very smoothly. I didn't run into anyone along the way, and I even managed to rekindle the Kree sun."

Carol breathed a sigh of relief and then happily began to talk about her experiences along the way. Just as Carol was excitedly telling Wen Ming about how the Kree had decided to reconcile with her because the sun had been rekindled, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the next block.

"In the free eagle nation, the gunfire never stops."

Carroll frowned and turned to look in the direction of the gunshot. He saw a middle-aged man running frantically from the next block toward them.

"robbery?"

As Carol was considering whether to get involved in this small case, Wen Ming suddenly rushed out and grabbed the robber by the neck: "Did you just rob an underground boxing ring and then kill a middle-aged man with white hair?"

"Fuck, let go! Mind your own business!"

The arrested robber pulled out his pistol and was about to shoot Wen Ming, but his gun was shattered by a small white hand: "Answer his question."

Seeing the crushed pistol, the middle-aged man swallowed hard: "Yes, my companion and I robbed an underground boxing ring and tried to steal a man's car, but he wouldn't give it to me. My companion pushed me, and then the gun went off accidentally! My companion drove off in his car."

I really didn't mean to kill him; the gun went off accidentally.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Wen Ming threw him to the ground: "I'll spare your life for your daughter's sake. But if you dare to commit another crime, see how I deal with you."

"Qinghou, quickly save them!"

Carol paused for a moment, wondering who to save.

Immediately, Carol noticed that Qinghou rushed out of the room, grabbed Wenming, and flew into the distant sky. Without thinking too much, Carol quickly took off as well.

A few seconds later, the group saw a crowd surrounding a middle-aged man lying on the ground, who was barely breathing and saying his last words to a young man: "Peter, Peter."

With tears in his eyes and an incredulous look on his face, the young man called out the other man's name: "Uncle Ben, I'm here, Uncle Ben."

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but he no longer had the strength to speak. The young man's tears flowed freely, and he kept calling out the other man's name: "Uncle Ben, Uncle Ben."

Just then, Wen Ming and Qing Hou descended from the sky, and a white light also shone down on the dying middle-aged man.

"Don't rush to die. I want to hear you say it again: 'With great power comes great responsibility.'"

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