Chapter 889: Mixed Feelings
Shen Man nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
Jiang Shan then returned to the previous topic and said to the Secret Guest and the White Queen: "Because of your special nature - equivalent to the signpost of the Phoenix's arrival, you have some characteristics that can attract it, so you two, cannot leave my sight until I completely suppress the Phoenix."
He said, "As for your punishment - the cleaning of the manor will be the responsibility of the two of you until I lift the restrictions on you."
Punishment to clean up!
Not only the two parties involved, Mysterio and the White Queen, but also Charles and others expressed surprise.
Clarice quickly said to the secret agent: "Why don't you thank Mr. Jiang quickly!"
The secret guest hesitated, but Jiang Shan waved his hand: "No need."
He smiled and said, "After all, there are no irreparable consequences, so the punishment is arbitrary. But if there are irreparable consequences, I will still be ruthless."
Then he said to Charles and others: "For the reconstruction of the Mutant Autonomous Region, if you need anything, you can ask the Mars base for help. In this outbreak of the Phoenix Force, mutants are the victims after all, so don't be polite to me if you need anything."
In essence, the power of the Phoenix is directed at Jiang Shan.
And Jiang Shan must get rid of the Phoenix - as a creation that was integrated into the real world under the influence of the Origin of Heaven, it is inherently hostile to Jiang Shan.
Especially since it has already committed hostile acts.
Moreover, this thing does not seem to have much intelligence and is unable to negotiate. It cannot directly become Jiang Shan's arm like the Death and God Clan.
Charles and others expressed their gratitude to Jiang Shan again, and then he and Eric said goodbye and left.
Aoloro and the others stayed on the island. They planned to complete several tasks for the two world organizations - as a way to express their gratitude to Jiang Shan.
Soon, only Secret Guest and the White Queen were left.
Jiang Shan talked to them for a while and got to know their personalities and psychology. Then Shen Man came in with some information.
"This is the information I found about all the people that Constantine, Rachel, and the three Atlas girls have had direct or indirect contact with and exchanged information with over the past twenty days."
She placed a stack of information in front of Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan nodded: "Let me take a look."
Said: "Take Iliana and Emma out first and arrange accommodation for them. Tell A Xiang that Iliana and Emma will help her manage the manor."
The daily management and maintenance of the manor has always been done by Ah Xiang, also known as Jiang Dalin.
At that time, Koros Island had not yet taken off.
At first, there was only A Xiang, and later Lisa from the plot of Fuchun Mountain Residence joined, and Crystal and Medusa from the Inhumans were also among them.
Now add the White Queen and Mysterio.
A Xiang's team has grown again.
This thing is said to be a punishment, but in fact it is an excellent job - doing daily cleaning work on Koros Island is something that countless people dream of but cannot hope for.
Just like Crystal and Medusa of the Inhumans, they are now accustomed to this job.
They are unwilling to do anything else.
Because it’s an easy job.
Generally, they just trim the flowers and trees, clean up the fallen leaves, pull out the weeds growing between the flowers and trees, or maintain the exotic flowers and herbs planted in the herb garden. There is no dust on the island, and most places do not need frequent cleaning.
After Shen Man and the other two left, Jiang Shan focused his attention on the information Shen Man brought.
In fact, Jiang Shan can directly access the relevant information from the Jiuding virtual space, which is very convenient, but Jiang Shan prefers to read paper materials.
Loki finally returned to Asgard after being away for several years.
He met Thor, who was handling state affairs in a courtyard near the original Golden Palace. The first time he saw Thor, Loki was stunned.
Thor was wearing a shirt and plain glasses, and he actually looked very gentle and refined - his originally long hair had long since been cut short, and the original rudeness in him was gone at all!
Loki almost didn't recognize him! Thor was overjoyed when he saw Loki, and rushed over to give him a big hug: "Loki! Brother!"
Loki was almost out of breath in his embrace and said, "Let go! Thor, are you going to strangle me?"
Thor quickly let go of him and said, "Sorry, I was too excited."
Said: "Loki, are you done with the Earth business?"
He pulled Loki to sit next to him, and Loki felt a little uncomfortable with the intimacy.
He barely moved his body, a foot away from Thor, and said, "I have successfully completed the task assigned to me by our brother-in-law. Rogers has established a brand new country."
Thor was both happy and regretful when he heard this: "Originally, I should have been a participant as well."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Loki asked, "Have you been okay during this time?"
Thor sighed and complained, "It's okay, but there are too many things to do. I finally understand how busy it is to be a leader."
He said: "There are endless documents to deal with every day, and I have to walk around and take a look every now and then to collect development information from all aspects."
He couldn't stop talking.
Loki listened attentively, nodded occasionally, and said with a smile: "You have become a qualified leader."
Thor sighed and said, "I miss the innocent days when I didn't think about anything."
Loki laughed: "People always mature."
Then he asked, "Why are you working here? Is the Golden Palace abandoned?"
Thor smiled and said, "That's not the case. I just moved out of the Golden Palace and opened it as a tourist attraction. I think that the Golden Palace, as the most glorious and beautiful place in Asgard, should belong to all Asgardians, not just our family!"
He added: "I built a spaceport in the south of Asgard and marked out the surrounding land to create an open area facing the entire universe."
"Now many people from other planets come to Asgard to do business, travel, and exchange knowledge. More and more of us Asgardians are also going abroad. Asgard is becoming more and more vibrant."
He was quite proud as he spoke.
Loki watched quietly, feeling deeply moved.
He had changed, and Thor had changed too.
Then Thor suddenly said, "I'm glad you're back, Loki. I've been king for two years, it's your turn!"
Loki was startled and laughed, "Aren't you afraid that I will mess up Asgard?"
Thor laughed, "You won't!"
He said, "Asgard is your home too, and, Loki, you have to believe my eyes. I see the change in you, yes!"
Loki suddenly had mixed feelings.
