Chapter 240
"Call out--"
Dimensional Teleportation activated.
The next moment, everything changed, and the scenery transformed.
The dimly lit, abandoned mine shaft has vanished, replaced by a bright, cozy, and spacious room.
Su Quan released the three of them, who curiously looked around.
Where is this?
"My room," Su Quan said with a smile.
"Is this your home?"
The Power Girl looked surprised. "Aren't you the Lord of the Void? How come your room looks no different from an ordinary person's?"
" On Friday, explain to them where this place is."
Su Quan summoned Friday's holographic image, turned and walked towards the door, saying as he went, "Come down and find me in a bit."
Friday appeared out of nowhere and began to speak slowly to the three Power Girl.
"This is the Main Timeline of the Marvel Universe, and this room is located on the third floor of the Nato Tong branch—"
Yes, Su Quan didn't take them to Earth-1, but went straight back to the Marvel Universe.
Years have passed since we parted, and everything has changed.
Well--
From Su Quan's perspective, he has indeed been away from the Marvel Universe for several decades.
Even when it occasionally returns, it only lingers briefly in the Void. This time, its return truly evokes a sense of the passage of time and the changing of the seasons.
But to the world, he has only been gone for three months!
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, but when Su Quan came downstairs, he found that the company had changed a lot!
Originally, the office area, reception area, and warehouse area were all on the first floor, and it was usually bustling with people coming and going.
But now it has changed, becoming more formal and solemn.
At first glance, it gives the impression of a business hall and an office being integrated into one.
The front is for business operations, the back is for office use, and there are even several separate VIP rooms and appraisal rooms partitioned off.
Su Quan's appearance excited the workers who were working, and they stood up to greet him.
"Talia, Selina, Aunt May, Jessica— " Su Quan looked at the group, smiled, opened his arms, and hugged them one by one.
Talia al Ghur, also known as Miranda Tate and Catwoman Selina Kyle, were the most affected.
Su Quan left after bringing them from their original world to this place, and several months passed before he left. He couldn't help but feel some resentment.
Aunt May looks to be in good spirits and seems to have moved on from the grief of Uncle Ben's passing.
Jessica Jones —
She glanced towards the stairs, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Did you come back alone this time?"
Su Quan was speechless, then shook his head and said, "I picked up a few people and will introduce them to you in a bit."
Jessica Jones shrugged noncommittally, recalling how she had gone from being alone at the beginning to the arrival of the Female and Himiko, and then to the addition of Miranda Tate and Selina Kyle.
She had gotten used to new people joining the team every time Su Quan came back.
"Where did the others go?" Su Quan asked curiously.
Miranda Tate added, "They're in the delivery area next door."
"Next door?"
Miranda Tate explained, "The company's business is getting better and better, and there's not enough space here anymore."
"So we bought the space next door and completely separated the reception and office area from the delivery area."
"Firstly, it makes management and work more convenient and professional; secondly, it's safer."
"We all live here. Your storage room has many priceless treasures. People come and go here all the time, dozens of people coming and going at once. It's neither convenient nor safe."
Su Quan still trusted Miranda Tate's management and business acumen; otherwise, he wouldn't have assigned her here.
The branch's 'clerical staff' Aunt May alright in terms of reception and Jessica work, but they have absolutely no experience or talent in business management. Catwoman can only be a gem appraisal expert.
Only someone as capable and experienced as Miranda Tate can keep the company afloat.
"You've worked hard, I'll reward you later."
Su Quan patted Miranda Tate on the shoulder, then turned to Jessica Jones and said, "Come with me to the next house."
Jessica Jones's lips curled up slightly. Su Quan's obvious 'favoritism' made her feel as radiant as a blooming flower.
No matter how well Miranda Tate manages the company, or how close Selina Kyle and Su Quan are, what good is it?
At that moment, the first person he always thought of was me!
P. S.: I'll write about Marvel's storylines, which may involve time travel and Shang-Chi's plot.
In the evening, after getting off work.
Everyone gathered in the company cafeteria for a meal.
Jessica Jones, the Female, Himiko, Mr. Negative, Female Winter Soldier, Miranda Tate, Selina Kyle, Aunt May.
And today's new additions: Power Girl, Godiva, and Killer Frost.
Of course, Su Quan didn't show favoritism. He also brought Dotty Underwood, the White Queen, Maki Matsumoto, Nine Spider Lady, and Bane from headquarters through Teleportation Portal.
These people are the core members of Nato Tong Company!
They come from different timelines and different worlds, and now they have gathered together under his command, which makes Su Quan sigh with emotion and feel a little proud.
There are two purposes for this dinner.
First: Introduce Power Girl, Godiva, and Killer Frost to everyone, and also take this opportunity to let the people at headquarters and branches get to know each other.
Second: Understand the progress of the headquarters and branches, as well as the overall environment.
S.H.I.E.L.D.., Hydra, the Hand, and countless other organizations and individuals, big and small, have eyes on Nato Tong!
As they ate and drank, the atmosphere quickly became lively and relaxed.
What Su Quan least expected was the Power Girl.
The girl, whose aliases were You Rong or Xuan Ran, had just complained about breaking her promise that she would let them deal with Ji Su, but then she turned around and took them to another world.
Then, like a group creating atmosphere, he went around greeting people, drinking with them, and openly declaring his alien identity.
To put it nicely, this is enthusiasm and honesty; to put it bluntly, this is naivety!
The White Queen came to Su Quan's side and sat down.
"I have a few things to attend to."
Tell me about it.
The White Queen nodded slightly and said with a smile, "It's mainly related to the Super Soldier Serum. S.H.I.E.L.D.., Hydra, General Ross of the military, and the Red Room have all tested it, either openly or covertly."
The headquarters of Nato Tong has at least several hundred Super Soldier in Madripoor, a lawless and turbulent place, so it's perfectly normal for someone to come knocking on their door.
After all, neither headquarters nor branches have made any special effort to conceal the existence of Super Soldier. Especially at headquarters, hundreds of Super Soldiers have been trained in a short period of time. Who could remain indifferent?
Captain America elevated the Super Soldier Serum to godlike status, sparking fierce competition among countless individuals and factions.
You guys suddenly appeared and mass-produced Super Soldier like wholesale cabbages, with a 100% success rate!
Any force or individual with even a modicum of ambition will take action!
The point is not about taking action, but about what kind of action was taken!
"Who's courting death?" Su Quan asked with a smile.
The White Queen smiled and said, "General Ross is also working on the Super Soldier program, but progress is not going well. He urgently hopes to obtain a complete serum sample for research and analysis."
Urgency means taking tough measures!
General Ross embodies typical United States thinking; frankly, he considers himself a global superpower and believes all good things should belong to United States.
What?
You're saying this isn't from the United States?
Heh, I now suspect that what you possess is a threat to us. Either hand it over, or we'll wipe you out and take it yourself!
Do you choose to hand over the item?
No!
What if you secretly manufacture a second one later?
We must make sure this never happens again, so I'm sorry, we have to eliminate you!
Justice and morality? Propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame?
