Dividing the territory, Susan's lady-of-the-house stance

The steam from the coffee machine was particularly jarring in the deathly silent hall.

Susan, carrying a cup of freshly ground black coffee, walked to Lynn's side in her high heels. She deliberately bent down and gently placed the bone china cup on the Obsidian table. Her neckline slipped down, exposing a large expanse of fair skin to the air.

The air was filled with the bitter aroma of coffee and the faint smell of burning from the friction of Invisible Force Field.

Lynn picked up his cup and took a sip. It was bitter, but the temperature was just right. He leaned back in his large leather chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze sweeping over the four women in front of him.

"Master, here's your coffee." Susan's voice was sickeningly sweet. She straightened up, her fingers tapping rapidly on the Holographic Projection terminal on the table.

With a soft hum, the Three-Dimensional Structure Diagram of the Baxter Building floated in mid-air, its blue color shimmering.

"Now that this is your territory, the zoning must be redefined." A hint of extremely exclusive and morbid possessiveness flashed in Susan's blue eyes. She manipulated the projection with both hands, infinitely magnifying the Core Zone on the top floor.

"This floor, which was originally the top-floor Core Zone, possesses the most advanced nuclear-proof armor and independent life support system in the entire building." Susan's slender fingers traced the master bedroom area on the hologram. "From today onwards, this is your private living room. Anyone other than me needs authorization from my Force Field to even step inside."

The temperature in the hall plummeted as soon as these words were spoken.

Wanda's hand, which had been resting on the armrest of Lynn's leather chair, suddenly tightened. With a "rip," the expensive leather was torn into five cracks by her forceful grip.

Ignoring Wanda's murderous gaze, Susan continued to slide the hologram, zooming the image directly to the very bottom of the building.

"As for Agent Natasha," Susan said with a condescending smirk, "Since you've volunteered for security and intelligence work, the Supercomputer Center on the sixth basement level is perfect for you. It's dark and damp there, very much in line with the nature of you S.H.I.E.L.D.. rats."

Natasha lay expressionless on the Force Field operating table, but her grey-green eyes were fixed on Susan's neck, like a venomous snake ready to bite off its prey's throat at any moment.

Susan swiped her finger across the screen again, pointing to the ventilation deck and rooftop outside the building.

"Spider-Man, since you like hanging on the ceiling, the outer security patrol line is yours. The view is excellent, enough for you to swing on a swing all night long."

Gwen Stacy, hanging upside down from the Load-Bearing Beam, remained silent. She twirled the dagger in her hand, crackling with eerie blue Bioelectricity along the blade, the tip precisely aimed at the back of Susan's head.

Finally, Susan stopped the hologram on the thirtieth floor of the building—a relatively peripheral equipment floor.

"As for this Sokovia... Witch," Susan turned her head, meeting Wanda's gaze without flinching, "Your energy is too unstable and could easily damage precision instruments. The thirtieth floor was originally a high-risk physics experiment zone, with three layers of earthquake-resistant alloy added to the walls. It's safest for you to live there, so you won't go crazy in the middle of the night and disturb the master's rest."

silence.

A deathly silence.

Lynn gently stroked the rim of the coffee cup with his fingers, a hint of amusement flashing in his deep black eyes.

That's amazing.

Susan's arrangement directly utilized the original owner's advantageous location, firmly securing her position as the "mistress" and "personal butler." She openly occupied Lynn's living room, relegating the other three extremely dangerous women to the periphery.

This blatant declaration of sovereignty brought the already tense atmosphere of the Shura Field to the brink of explosion.

Lynn didn't say anything to stop them. He was enjoying the feeling too much. Watching these once high and mighty top female heroes tearing at each other like Beast guarding their prey for the position closest to him greatly satisfied his inner tyranny and desire for control.

"Oh..."

A chilling laugh broke the silence.

Wanda slowly stood up. Her red leather trench coat fluttered in the invisible energy currents. She didn't look at Susan, but stared intently at the pale blue Holographic Projection in mid-air.

"Leave you in his room and lock me up on the thirtieth floor like a dangerous item?" Wanda's voice was so soft it sent chills down your spine, with a distinctly nervous tremor.

Susan raised her chin, Invisible Force Field swirling around her, refracting a distorted halo of light. "This is the optimal solution based on the building's security. You're an uncontrollable bomb, and I'm one of the builders of this building. No one knows better than me how to serve their master."

"The optimal solution?" Wanda tilted her head, and Scarlet light ignited in her eyes.

She raised her right hand, her slender fingers suddenly spreading open.

Boom!

The raging Chaos Magic was no longer suppressed. Scarlet Particles, like a burst dam, gushed forth from her fingertips. The Holographic Projection device in the center of the hall instantly emitted a muffled thud, directly Oblivion by the Higher-Dimensional Energy into a cloud of black-smoking scrap metal.

Moreover, the blood-red mist seemed to have a life of its own, frantically seeping into the building's floors, walls, and load-bearing columns.

The piercing red alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire Baxter Building.

"Warning! The load-bearing structure is being corroded by unknown energy! The physical defense armor is Oblivion!" A synthesized electronic voice frantically broadcast from the ceiling.

Wanda's eyes turned completely dark red. She walked step by step toward Susan, the surrounding space groaning in agony under the pressure of the Chaos Magic. The intense heat distorted the air violently, and the metal ornaments in the hall began to melt into molten iron.

"Since this building won't let me near him..." Wanda revealed an extremely morbid and cruel smile, "Then I'll tear it to shreds and rebuild a cage just for the two of us."

Susan's expression changed, and she pushed her hands forward violently, unleashing an absolute Invisible Force Field that fiercely resisted the spreading Scarlet storm. The two Skyfather-level forces clashed violently less than five meters in front of Lynn.

The building began to shake violently.

Gwen Stacy, like a ghost, released her Silk from the ceiling and plummeted rapidly through the air, her electric dagger aimed directly at the center of the energy collision.
