The so-called royal palace showed no trace of feudal-era style once they entered. There was a reception desk right by the entrance, and the spacious hall even contained quite a few golden sofas and coffee tables, perhaps meant for receiving guests.
How should he put it? Su Ming felt as though he had entered some nightclub run by a nouveau riche, because everything here was gold. It was tacky beyond belief.
Fortunately, the blood flowing from the many corpses on the floor softened that atmosphere somewhat. Tony really had been onto something—red and gold did go well together.
There were two corpses slumped over what was probably the reception desk, blood still flowing from their necks. Diana's strikes were as precise as ever.
After picking up and examining the tablet-like communicator in one corpse's hand, Su Ming was basically certain that the Angel Queen was not here.
Otherwise, she should already have been fighting Diana.
The condition of the corpses in the hall showed that they had reacted when Diana broke in and had offered armed resistance. One of the guards had even sent out an alarm through the communicator.
Angels were not only greedy; to protect their wealth, they were capable of anything.
If someone broke into the palace and wanted to destroy it, then if the Angel Queen were present, she would definitely come out to fight.
Now, not even a shadow of her had appeared, which meant she was absent. She might even have been controlled by Malekith, or completely deceived by him.
Seeing this, Su Ming could not be bothered to go upstairs. He simply found a sofa and sat down, waiting for Diana and Carol to return.
"Cousin, the walls of this palace are only coated in gold paint. They aren't gold at all." Deadpool
