Chapter 95: Holding Gwen and Wanda in His Arms, A Trip for One Man and Three Women, Thanos's Slaughter!
Inside the vault, the battered Vulture lay on the ground.
The mask on his face had also been ripped off and thrown to the side.
His chest heaved weakly, and his eyes had become incredibly dim.
Just a moment ago, he had wanted to force his way out using his battle suit, but he didn't expect the Scarlet Witchto pull him back into the vault with a light wave.
And what awaited him next was only a one-sided beating.
In such an enclosed space, there was no way to use his wings.
Not to mention that his wings had already been destroyed by Gwen at the first opportunity.
"Gwen, it seems you've become much stronger again!"
Hode couldn't help but step forward and rub Gwen's little head.
It must be said, Gwen's performance just now exceeded his expectations.
Compared to before, her reactions and movements had become much more agile in every aspect.
At the same time, she fully utilized the terrain advantage, using Spider Web to firmly tie up Vulture and give him a chaotic beating.
In a direct confrontation, Gwen's strength far exceeded Vulture's.
"Hode!"
Wanda, seeing Hode rubbing Gwen's head, couldn't help but pout slightly.
This was clearly her exclusive treatment before, but now it had actually been snatched away by Gwen.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Wanda's expression, Hode pulled her over.
It had to be said, the feeling of rubbing a head on the left and hugging a waist on the right was really nice.
"You guy!"
Wanda gritted her teeth and pinched Hode's waist hard.
It could be seen from the expression on Hode's face that this guy was definitely thinking about something bad.
No matter what, she absolutely couldn't let Hode get his way.
"By the way, what should we do with this guy?"
Gwen tilted her chin slightly, gesturing towards Vulture on the ground.
It's not like we can just leave this guy here right now.
"Looks like..."
Just as Hode was hesitating whether to send him to the Police station, the sound of Police sirens came from outside.
"The Police are here!"
Gwen raised her head and looked towards the exit.
"This saves us quite a bit of trouble!"
Wanda curled her lips and sighed.
After all, the bank door was wide open now; if they just left like this, heaven knows if someone else might rush in.
After all, this was New York, the land of freedom; it could be said that all kinds of people were here.
"Let's leave first!"
Hode withdrew his hand and slashed his right hand through the air.
A brilliant golden light appeared.
He wrapped his arms around Gwen and Wanda's waists and stepped directly into the Dimensional Portal.
He didn't want to leave Wanda and Gwen here to be interviewed.
They had finally managed to get some free time to properly cultivate their relationship.
Don't waste it on this insignificant Vulture.
Anyway, after the Police arrived, they would definitely arrest Vulture.
The next day.
A piece of news was being broadcast on the big screen TV in the manor's waiting room.
"Scarlet Witch and Ghost-Spider join forces to punish criminals!"
And close-up photos of Gwen and Wanda were shown separately on it.
"I didn't expect these Police to be somewhat useful!"
Hode couldn't help but sigh while watching this scene.
It was normal to recognize that it was Spider-Woman, after all, the vault was full of Spider Web everywhere.
But it was not easy to recognize that the Scarlet Witch was also there.
After all, Wanda's power was somewhat different from before.
"Hmph, I let them know on purpose that I took action!"
Wanda raised her head proudly: "Although the reputation of the Avengers has been restored, we should still let the media report on it more!"
She had already thought of this; after all, there were still some members of the public who opposed the Avengers.
She also intended to let them know who was really protecting them through the form of news.
Because Hode had once taught her that sometimes, when heroes do good deeds, they must let everyone know.
Instead of being unknown.
The reason Gwen needed to be unknown was because Gwen was still a student.
So she needed to deliberately hide her identity to avoid disturbing her normal life.
Moreover, Gwen didn't rely on being a hero for a living.
It seems our little Wanda is quite clever!"
Hode smiled and leaned in close to Wanda, the corners of his mouth curling up: "So, shouldn't I give you a little reward?"
"Get away!"
Wanda raised an eyebrow. To deal with Hode, she had specifically snuck off to sleep with Gwen yesterday.
It was just to let this devil know he was wrong to put her in the wrong battle suit!
"But the combination of you two has truly caught Fire. Look how popular you are!"
Hode raised an eyebrow and looked at the comments about them; they were all unanimously positive.
"Well, that's only natural. Gwen and I get along very well!"
Wanda stood up, sat down beside Gwen, and wrapped her arms around her.
Through their chat last night, the awkwardness in her heart had faded quite a bit.
And she was growing more and more fond of this silly, cute little sister.
"But these media outlets really do love to hype these things up."
Gwen was already used to such reports; this was how they survived—by relying on hype.
There had actually been quite a bit of hype surrounding her before, and many people had even tried to pry into her identity.
"By the way, shall we go out to Westview for a trip?"
Hode leaned back on the sofa and spoke up proactively.
He remembered very clearly that Wanda really wanted to go there.
Since they were free anyway, he might as well just take Wanda out for a stroll.
Besides, Wanda didn't really have much time to relax and rest.
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Wanda's eyes shimmered, and she threw herself onto Hode.
She had originally thought it would take a long time for Hode to find the time to accompany her.
She hadn't expected Hode to plan on setting off today.
"There's no time like the present, and we're all free anyway!"
Hode's mouth curled up. He would absolutely never forget things he promised to girls.
As a veteran in the romance game, he naturally wouldn't forget this.
As long as he promised, he would definitely be able to deliver.
Besides, he had thought about pleasing both Gwen and Wanda at the same time, for the sake of his own simultaneous happiness.
"Yay!"
Excited, Wanda gave Hode a fierce kiss on the cheek.
Gwen, watching from the side, saw Wanda's bold action and just quietly took Hode's hand.
Although she wanted to do the same, she was ultimately still a little shy.
"Oh right, why don't you come with us too, Gwen?"
Hode turned to look at Gwen. If he remembered correctly, Gwen shouldn't have any classes for the next two days.
Moreover, bringing Gwen along would also be a better way to bring them closer.
Gwen was just about to nod, but then she remembered something, and the expression on her face became somewhat hesitant.
"What's wrong?"
Hode noticed the change in Gwen's expression and asked with a puzzled tone.
"I don't know if my parents will agree."
Gwen said with a troubled look.
The reason she was able to stay here yesterday was because she had told a little lie, saying she was staying at a classmate's house.
If she didn't go back today, that definitely wouldn't do!
"It's fine, I'll help you ask them!"
Hode didn't mind at all and stood up with a smile: "Let's go, we'll go see them together, and you can pack up your personal belongings while we're at it!"
After all, Gwen's family was quite reasonable, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Because this was a road trip, Hode didn't drive Bumblebeethis time.
Instead, he chose an eleMMent Palazzo.
This was a recreational vehicle (RV) and also the most expensive one currently available. Not only was it large enough, but it also had basically everything inside.
Otherwise, if they went out together, driving in a car that was too small would be quite uncomfortable.
The main point was that there were very few rest stops on the roads in the United States, so traveling by RV was quite necessary.
As the vehicle started up, it looked as if it were made entirely of gold.
From the outside, it emitted a brilliant golden light; just driving it out was enough to attract a lot of attention.
After all, the eleMMent Palazzo was extremely rare.
Because he was worried that Mr. and Mrs. Stacy would overthink things, Wanda stayed in the car by herself when they went back.
Meanwhile, Gwen and Hode went up to Gwen's house.
They had just knocked on the door once when it opened immediately.
"Hode, you're here?!"
When Helen saw Hode, her eyes first lit up, and only then did she notice her daughter.
"Hello, Aunt Helen. Where is Uncle George?"
Hode greeted her immediately and noticed that Georgedidn't seem to be home.
"He went to work."
Helen smiled and invited Hode inside.
However, after her gaze swept over the two of them, a subtle smile flashed across the corners of her mouth.
It seems her lovely daughter had secretly learned to lie!
Otherwise, how could she have said she was staying at a classmate's house yesterday?
You had to know that Gwen basically never said things on the spur of the moment; even if she stayed at a classmate's house, she would say so in advance.
She reckoned this little girl had run to Hode's house to stay last night.
But she didn't really mind; after all, she was quite satisfied with Hode.
After all, George had already looked up the information regarding Hode a long time ago.
He was wealthy and handsome, and he also seemed very gentle towards her daughter.
"Mom, I want to go out and play with Hode for a few days."
Gwen tugged at the corner of her shirt, speaking with a hesitant expression.
She didn't know if her mother would actually let her go out.
After all, her upbringing was usually quite strict.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so anxious that they called the police just because she didn't come home for one night.
"Yes, Aunt Helen, I would like to take Gwen out for a trip. You don't need to worry about safety."
At this moment, Hode also spoke up immediately.
After all, he was taking Gwen out, so it was normal for Mr. and Mrs. Stacy to be worried.
"Alright, then you two go have fun!"
To Gwen's surprise, Helen actually agreed immediately.
The reason Helen agreed was because she trusted Hode.
Secondly, it was the holidays anyway, and it wasn't good to stay cooped up at home.
Before, when George was in a vegetative state, Gwennever dared to go on trips far away.
Now, it was time to let Gwen go out and have a good time.
And this would also allow these two to properly cultivate their relationship.
After packing her luggage, Gwen excitedly got into the car.
As the eleMMent Palazzo started up.
Hode took Wanda, Gwen, and Lorna and set off on the highway.
Westview was located in a remote area, and the drive alone would take a whole day.
Although the journey was a bit long, the route passed through the fields of the plains, and this beautiful scenery was enough to make one ignore the boredom of the long journey.
Along the way, the group was jumping and dancing happily.
And as for driving, there was absolutely no need to worry, since the Red Queen was there.
As the strongest AI in the World, such a small matter was nothing to the Red Queen.
One day later, the eleMMent Palazzo slowly pulled up in front of a Villa that had already been purchased.
Because it had been purchased a day in advance, everything inside was already prepared.
"Witch, the place you picked is quite suitable for recuperation."
Hode sat outside the Villa, looking at the scenery outside, and couldn't help but exclaim.
These leisurely days were indeed what he liked the most.
"That goes without saying."
Hearing this, Wanda let out a long sigh of relief: "This vacation definitely won't be disappointing."
...
Nine Realms, the lower section of the World Tree.
Nidavellir.
Rumble, as a blue light resembling a barrier appeared in the sky.
A mothership, like a steel monster, loomed over the sky of the planet Nidavellir.
Four pairs of terrifying steel wings seemed as if they could cover the entire city.
Everyone below couldn't help but look up at this terrifying sight.
Expressions of fear appeared on their faces; they had no idea what was going on.
Bang!
Before they could even react, a loud noise erupted.
The center of Nidavellir.
A house in front of a fortress was hit by a cannonball.
The house collapsed instantly.
"Run!"
"There are enemies!"
"What on earth is going on!"
"..."
The dwarves fled in terror, panic written on every dwarf's face.
Although they were dwarves, their adult size was almost the same as Hulk.
Even so, there was no way to mask the fear in their hearts.
Rumble!
Before they could even run out, they heard a terrifying explosion from ahead.
Five figures, leading an army, surrounded them completely.
The dwarves attempted to break through the encirclement.
But it was to no avail.
"Brothers, follow me and charge out!"
One team of dwarves picked up their weapons, gritted their teeth, and prepared to break through from the front.
But just as they were about to charge, a tall, slender man with an elegant and refined manner slowly walked out.
He merely flicked his right hand, and countless stones floated up, turning into spikes that pierced them all like hedgehogs.
With just one move, he took down dozens of dwarves!
"Damn it!"
One of the dwarves sped up, wielding his weapon, and leaped high into the air.
But just as he was about to strike Ebony Maw, a metallic object slammed into him.
The next second, the force carried him straight through two buildings.
Immediately after, a massive figure descended from the sky, stomping heavily onto his chest.
This was clearly Black Dwarf; he calmly pulled out his weapon, a look of disdain on his face.
Although other dwarves tried to break out, under the obstruction of the Black Order, they couldn't even make a breakthrough.
Eventually, those who resisted were captured, but even the captured dwarves...
...were beheaded one by one by Corvus Glaive. Blood flowed across the ground, appearing incredibly bloody and cruel.
The fortress gate was smashed open from the inside by a figure.
A massive dwarf crashed onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
The Dwarf King Eitri screamed in pain.
Then, a purple figure carrying a giant blade walked out.
Every step he took was incredibly heavy, yet there was no haste, only steadiness.
It was none other than Thanos.
"Eitri, stop struggling. Just honestly forge the Infinity Gauntlet for me!"
Thanos walked slowly up to Eitri, raised the giant blade in his hand, and placed it against Dwarf King Eitri's neck.
"I will absolutely not do such a thing..."
Dwarf King Eitri knew very well what Thanos intended to do!
If he truly agreed, the Universe would fall into chaos.
"Does it not matter even if I slaughter the entire Dwarf planet? I should remind you, Odin will no longer protect Nidavellir; the Asgardians can barely protect themselves!"
Thanos could see Eitri's thoughts, his eyes filled with cold cruelty.
Before Eitri could answer, Thanos nodded slightly at his subordinate nearby.
One of the dwarves was dragged up, and with a flash of a blade.
The dwarf's head hit the ground with a thud.
"You!!!"
Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Dwarf King Eitri had no choice but to agree.
Thanos stood at the highest point of the Nidavellir mountains, overlooking everything.
Behind him was a vast army and the Black Order.
Ebony Maw came before Thanos, slowly knelt on one knee, and held the forged Infinity Gauntlet high.
"Your subordinate is willing to pledge loyalty to you unto death; you are the most powerful existence in the Universe..."
Thanos took the Infinity Gauntlet from Ebony Maw, a cold sneer on his face, and slowly put it on.
After putting on the Infinity Gauntlet.
A golden light erupted from Thanos's eyes as he clenched his fist tightly.
"Next stop, the Nine Realms, Midgard!"
Chapter 96: Soaking in Hot Springs Together, Gwen's Initiative, A Pulse-Pounding Night!
Westview is a place very suitable for rest and recuperation.
Although it is currently the off-season for tourism, because many farms along the way have planted wheat.
One can even see the plains filled with swaying golden wheat waves; looking at it, it feels as if one has arrived in an earthly paradise.
Just staying here makes one feel comfortable and relaxed.
Autumn has arrived; although the weather is a bit cool, it is exactly the most suitable temperature.
[Ding! You have successfully checked in at a famous Marvel location!]
[Reward obtained: A jug of Peach-Plum Fragrant Wine with infinite refills!]
Hode is sitting in the courtyard drinking Pu'er tea; in a place like this, sipping tea and enjoying the scenery is the best thing to do.
This comfortable feeling makes Hode unable to help but let out a long sigh.
In fact, he has never had any grand ambitions; being able to enjoy life properly is already quite good.
After hearing the prompt from the system, he was not too surprised.
After all, this is the Enjoy Life System.
Therefore, the definition of every enjoyment is different.
And the system gives rewards based on his mood.
This makes him look comfortably at the distant scenery, smelling the rich fragrance of the Pu'er tea beside him.
His eyes softened a little.
He raises his right hand, gives it a slight shake, and an antique-looking jug appears in his hand.
[A Jug of Peach-Plum Fragrant Wine]: Infinite refills; this wine is clear and transparent. After drinking, it tempers the body and internal organs, and can nourish the body.
"It seems this thing is really quite good!"
Hode shakes the liquid inside, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.
If he lets Wanda and the others taste this, after all, his own body is improving day by day.
If their bodies cannot be properly tempered, how could they possibly handle it?
As for himself, having half of the audience's ability would be enough to dominate the world.
"Hode."
Just as Hode casually places the wine jug in his hand on the table beside him, a delicate and beautiful face peeks out from above.
"705u.com-53 Reading Club," Hode squints his eyes, looking against the sunlight to clearly see this face framed by golden strands of hair.
Isn't this clearly Wanda? Wanda is seen at this moment with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, a smile on her face.
"What's the matter?"
Hode raises his hand, pulls her head down for a deep kiss, and then looks at Wanda.
Only after feeling tranquility can one discover just how wonderful life truly is.
Over the past year, he has played with everything he wanted to, and finally discovered that what he likes is this kind of leisurely life.
"Are you planning to sleep here all day today?"
Wanda purses her lips, and with a brilliant smile, brushes the golden hair by her ear behind it.
Since Hode arrived here, he has just been lying here.
Although she also likes this kind of tranquil life, she doesn't want all her precious time to be spent on admiring the scenery.
She still wants to go around and explore the surroundings properly.
"The journey was tiring; let's rest for one night first, and we can go out and play tomorrow morning, okay?"
Hode casually pinches the little face of Wanda above him, asking in a gentle tone.
Although he wasn't driving the whole way, it was basically just wandering around inside the car.
Moreover, Wanda and Lorna's physical condition cannot be compared to Gwen's.
After all, Gwen has a very strong constitution, so resting a bit is also good.
Plus, being in the car the whole time, the mind feels a bit dull.
"Then can we go soak in a hot spring to relax in a little while?"
Wanda's eyes sparkle like the night sky; she blinks her big eyes and pouts her little mouth, acting cute.
She has figured it out; this guy Hode is a softie, not a hard-liner.
The more gentle she is, the more likely she can get Hode to agree.
Besides, she has specifically checked, and there is a very nice hot spring nearby.
She heard that after soaking, the body feels much more comfortable.
"Soak in a hot spring?"
Hode is stunned for a moment, then nods thoughtfully: "That's actually quite good; we can properly relax!"
"Mr. Hode, what are you two talking about?"
Lorna sees the two whispering and jogs over, pulling Gwen along.
Because Lorna and Gwen are basically the same age, they have gotten along very well on the road.
"We are discussing whether to go to the Westview Hot Spring Resort."
Hode turns his head to look at the two lively girls and tells them the content of the conversation.
"Hot spring?!"
Lorna widens her eyes, her long, curled eyelashes making her eyes look even bigger: "Can we go to the hot spring?"
She has only seen it on TV; just thinking about it makes her very happy.
"I haven't been to a hot spring either; I want to go too!"
Gwen also nods repeatedly from the side; she had previously read quite a few reports about hot springs.
Although she later became the winner of a beauty pageant, she couldn't find the time to properly rest.
So even if she had the chance, she hadn't been to soak in a hot spring; she didn't expect there to be one here.
This excites her so much that her toes lightly tiptoe, and her body cannot help but sway back and forth.
Just looking at her, one knows she is incredibly happy.
"Alright! Since everyone wants to go, then it's a unanimous vote!"
After Hode says this, he casually picks up the phone beside him: "Red Queen, help us book the tickets in advance."
It must be said that with Red Queen, he basically doesn't need to consider these things.
As long as it concerns the network, Red Queen can help him solve it perfectly.
"Let's go!"
Hode waves his right hand, a Dimensional Portal opens; this is clearly the Dimensional Portal leading to the manor.
He is seen slowly driving Bumblebee out from inside.
After all, it is necessary to pass through some bumpy road sections, and the EleMMent Palazzo is not suitable for driving on such sections.
Inside the Westview Hot Spring Manor.
Because they considered Wanda's identity, they were not in a public area.
Instead, they paid separately to book a large hot spring private room.
After entering the private room, there was a small hall where one could eat and drink.
After opening the balcony door, what came into view was a large area with high walls on both the left and right sides.
Directly in front, one could see most of the scenery of Westview, because it was quite remote.
Therefore, what could be seen of Westview was just a relatively small picture.
And the vast majority of what could be seen was that dense birch ridge, where the golden leaves looked so beautiful.
"Wow, this place is really beautiful!"
Gwen couldn't wait to go around to this side, looking at the scenery outside with a face full of excitement.
Soaking in a hot spring while looking at the beautiful scenery was simply a great enjoyment!
Although her family background was not particularly bad, she had never been to such a luxurious private room.
It could even be said that this place was much better looking than the promotional pictures online.
Because this area was sparsely populated, one could basically see no people; all that could be seen was the forest covering the mountains and plains.
The forest provided shade, and the autumn wind was occasionally desolate.
The rustling of leaves blowing in the wind made one feel refreshed.
"Gwen, Lorna, let's go change into our swimsuits first!"
Wanda urged the two of them to go change into swimsuits with her like a big sister.
As for Hode, after the three of them went in to change into swimsuits, he directly changed into a pair of shorts in the private room.
After taking off his top, his robust muscles were exposed.
This was the definition of looking slim with clothes on, but having muscles when taking them off.
The muscle lines on his body were just like they had been carefully carved with a chisel.
It could even be said that as long as one applied gray paint, he would be like a perfect statue.
The distribution of the muscles on his body was like the golden ratio; even if he participated in a competition, he could easily win first prize.
"Are these three not done changing yet?"
Hode shook his head helplessly; the difference between boys and girls was reflected at this moment: "Forget it, I'll just go enjoy it myself first."
He slowly walked into the steps laid out below the hot spring. As he stepped into the hot spring, a warmth instantly enveloped his body.
The hot spring water gently wrapped around him, and every inch of his skin was filled with warmth and comfort. He felt the water flowing and swaying gently.
It was as if all his worries and pressure dissipated with the ripples on the water. In his ears was the soft singing of the swaying forest and the babbling of the nearby water, which made one feel pleasant.
After randomly finding a large stone laid along the edge of the pool to sit on, he quietly felt this tranquil comfort.
"That's right!"
Hode suddenly remembered something and pulled with his right hand.
Peach Plum Fragrance Wine instantly appeared in front of him, and at the same time, he casually took out the wine glass and tray that had been rewarded previously.
After placing this on the hot spring, the tray swayed slightly on the hot spring water.
As he opened the bottle cap, a rich fragrance of wine came rushing towards him, as if he were in an orchard for a moment.
The delicious, sweet fruity flavor made Hode take a deep breath subconsciously.
"Not bad, this really is good wine!"
Hode couldn't wait to pour a glass; the pink wine slid into the glass like a silver thread.
After drinking it, a slight taste of alcohol accompanied by the sweetness of peaches slid down his throat.
Although there was a little bit of spiciness, it was quickly enveloped by the fruity flavor.
And a warm current surged inside his body. Because his body was too strong now, although he could feel the cleansing, he couldn't feel much.
"It seems there should be some unique things in here that strengthen the body."
Hode quickly reacted; this wine was much more useful than he had imagined.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up. If this was the case, then bathing should also be somewhat useful.
He raised his right hand, and the Peach Plum Fragrance Wine was continuously poured into the hot spring water. Because it was continuous, just pouring it for five or six minutes had already made the hot spring water turn slightly reddish.
And Hode could also clearly feel that a weak energy was continuously penetrating into his skin.
Then it was slowly improving his physical fitness.
"Gwen, walk faster!"
Lorna, who had finished changing clothes, trotted in.
Lorna was seen wearing a cute one-piece swimsuit; the swimsuit was dark black.
Although it was flat, it could be seen that there was still room for development.
Hode looked towards the position of the private room hall.
Gwen and Wanda were seen blushing and pushing each other as they came over.
Gwen wore a white two-piece swimsuit, which looked to set off her figure vividly.
Although it was not very big, it somehow had an indescribable sense of beauty.
As for Wanda, it was completely different; she wore a very sexy red swimsuit, as if it was about to burst out.
However, her face was already flushed red, and she was cautiously peeking at Hode...
After arriving inside the hot spring, Hode looked at Wandaunscrupulously.
I have to say, this outfit was much bolder than he had imagined.
"Wanda, come sit on my side?"
Hode patted the big stone beside him with a wicked smile.
"I'm not going!"
Wanda immediately knew Hode's thoughts from his eyes scanning her up and down.
She definitely wouldn't go over no matter what.
After all, this was definitely not a good thing.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect..."
Hode's unscrupulous eyes kept looking at Wanda.
Coupled with the faint fragrance of wine in the hot spring, a wicked smile appeared on Hode's face.
"Pervert!"
Wanda turned her head away directly, blushing.
And Hode looked towards the other two.
It must be said that each of these people had their own merits.
Gwen was shy from being watched and curled up in the hot spring pool, only exposing half of her head to breathe.
Lorna didn't care at all; she didn't mind in the slightest.
"What did you put in?"
Wanda smelled a burst of wine fragrance; this kind of wine fragrance was even clearer as the heat of the hot spring rose.
"Peach Plum Fragrance, a good wine, drink a little."
Hode stood up, picked up the tray, came to Wanda's side, and poured wine for her.
Wanda looked curiously at the Peach Plum Fragrance Wine in Hode's hand, took a sip doubtfully, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
It was sweeter and more mellow than any wine she had ever drunk before.
The Witch drank one glass, then wanted another, her face slightly flushed.
"This is so delicious, it's just like a drink, but it still has some taste of alcohol!"
Wanda widened her eyes and exclaimed.
And she quickly felt that her body seemed to have been cleansed, and all the soreness in her body was swept away.
"Mr. Hode, can I try it?"
Lorna saw her sister drinking so happily and also came over, asking cautiously.
And she had also smelled that rich wine fragrance just now.
"No, you are still too young, you cannot drink!"
Wanda refused strictly; drinking under the age of twenty-one was illegal.
"I'll try!"
However, Gwen had already secretly come to the side, grabbed a glass, and started drinking.
But after only a few sips, she felt her face turn red, her cheeks hot, and her brain felt a bit dizzy.
"Alright, don't drink anymore!"
Hode quickly took away the wine glass in Gwen's hand.
Although it could strengthen the physique, according to his original idea, it was to be absorbed through the method of soaking in the hot spring.
"Hode, give me another sip! Just a small sip!"
Gwen staggered and threw herself directly onto Hode, her fair, soft, and smooth body pressing directly against him.
Hode almost couldn't hold back.
"Alright, that's enough!"
Wanda glared at Hode, quickly pulled Gwen away, and poured her tea to calm down.
She had just seen that familiar expression on Hode's face; she didn't need to guess to know what he was thinking.
"But I still want to drink!"
Gwen's cheeks were red, her eyes rolled around, and she directly pounced to grab the wine pot.
Hode shook his head helplessly, snapped his fingers, and put it directly back into the system.
"Why is it gone? Hode, you are teasing me with magic! Quickly teach me how to use magic!"
Gwen suddenly remembered that Hode had said he would teach her!
"Next time, this time I'll show you something else first!"
Hode's mouth curled up; a ray of light shot from his fingertips and exploded in the air, with the fireworks forming the shape of Gwen.
"What about mine?"
Wanda pouted and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Fine, fine, fine, you have one too!"
Hode also set one off for Wanda.
Lorna watched this scene, wanting to speak but stopping; she also wanted one, but it was not good to ask Hode.
She could only watch eagerly, her little fingers hooking continuously.
"Hode, I'm hungry, can you get me something delicious?"
Wanda rubbed her stomach, which had no fat, and asked pitifully.
"Fine, then I'll go out and get some in."
Hode also happened to want to eat something, so he got up to go get it.
Hode put on a bath towel and pushed open the door, and in the next second, he saw a familiar figure.
His eyes narrowed, he instantly pressed forward, grabbed the person, and pinned them against the wall.
Yelena, are you stalking me?"
It was indeed Yelena that Hode was holding.
"I am not, don't you dare frame me!"
Yelena shook her head with an innocent look; she wasn't crazy.
Ever since Hode warned her last time, she hadn't even thought about stalking him.
"Then what are you here for?"
Hode asked with a frown.
Yelena didn't intend to hide anything and told him everything.
She was here to investigate a strange incident and had no idea that Hode was here too.
Hode sensed that she wasn't lying, and his gaze subconsciously drifted down to Yelena's alluring swimsuit.
It was a swimsuit with cutouts in different places, making it look exceptionally sexy.
Yelena noticed his gaze too, but was quickly drawn to Hode's abdominal muscles.
This guy's physique was just too perfect!
"Hode, what's going on?"
Wanda and Gwen heard the commotion and ran out wearing bathrobes, only to see this scene.
F*ck!
They had only been gone for half a minute.
This stinky man had hooked up with another one already!!!
...
Chapter 97 Wanda and Gwen suffering from insomnia together, it wasn't like they hadn't done it together before!
"Hmm?!"
Hode was stunned for a moment, and only in the next second did he notice that his posture seemed a bit ambiguous.
He hadn't paid much attention when he approached just now; he just thought this way wouldn't attract others' attention.
Yeah, that was definitely his true inner thought; he absolutely didn't want to see if Yelena's waist was slim or not.
After letting go, he pretended nothing happened and wanted to put his hands in his pockets, only to realize his bathrobe had no pockets.
"My dear Hode, you seem quite happy, don't you?"
Wanda forced a smile, her expression stiff as she said through gritted teeth.
Although it seemed like she was smiling, Hode could faintly sense Wanda's killing intent.
"No, you've misunderstood!"
Hode said, then quickly stood beside Wanda and began introducing her: "This is Yelena, she's here specifically to investigate a new case."
Upon hearing this, Yelena shook her head helplessly, a seductive smile on her lips as she swept her gaze over Hode's partially visible pectoral muscles.
Just a moment ago, she had actually felt a bit reluctant to let go; it would certainly be interesting if something happened with such a strong man.
Besides, she had indeed felt the intense hormones radiating from Hode just now.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but subconsciously bite her lower lip.
However, this action made Wanda look displeased, her eyes filled with vigilance.
Admittedly, although this woman wasn't as pretty as she was, heaven knows if Hode would find the wild flower more fragrant.
Moreover, this wild flower did have a certain charm, just from that lip-biting action alone.
"Oh, it's you!"
Gwen also recognized Yelena's identity, then looked at Hode and said: "I thought you had other women you hadn't told us about."
After all, they had collaborated once before, so Gwen was quite familiar with Yelena.
"You know each other?"
Wanda had just thought it was an excuse Hode made up to deceive them.
She hadn't expected Gwen to actually know this person, so it was very likely that she really was here to carry out a mission.
Even so, she didn't let her guard down, instead carefully pulling Hode's arm to assert her sovereignty.
Yelena naturally noticed this action and helplessly spread her hands with a smile.
It seemed her actions just now had made someone very unhappy!
"Do you want to come in and soak in the hot spring together?"
Gwen stepped forward and took hold of Yelena's arm.
She hadn't seen Yelena for a long time, so seeing her now, she naturally invited her to soak in the hot spring together.
Yelena originally wanted to refuse, but after glancing at Hode, she nodded as if possessed.
She didn't know if it was subconscious or what, but she always felt like she might be able to snatch something incredible.
After all, the more she understood Hode, the more she was attracted to such a strong man.
Although she knew Gwen's relationship with Hode was also extraordinary, she still had some other thoughts in the end.
Inside the private room.
"Phew, this is so comfortable!"
Yelena soaked in the hot spring. As an Agent, she could keenly feel that this hot spring was very different from others.
Not only did it have a hint of fruity and alcoholic fragrance, but she even felt her whole body becoming much more relaxed.
"Mr. Hode."
Yelena noticed Hode admiring the scenery not far away and carefully moved over.
"What's the matter?"
Hode looked at Yelena, who had moved across from him, with a puzzled expression.
In the next second, his eyes narrowed; he clearly felt something brush against his leg.
When he saw Yelena's expression, he knew instantly.
Because the hot spring Water was constantly being replaced, the Water in the spring was constantly churning.
Combined with the minerals inside, the hot spring Water appeared slightly turbid.
But this could fool others, yet it couldn't fool him.
This person was actually provoking his emotions right in front of everyone.
Not sure if Wanda sensed something, she moved directly to Hode's side.
"Dear, what are you two talking about?"
Wanda smiled through gritted teeth, her right hand resting on Hode's waist and twisting slightly.
Although she didn't know what had just happened, she already vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Moreover, that little minx's expression was obviously wrong just now, and through her emotions, she could also sense that Yelena's mood seemed a bit excited.
"Nothing, just talking about whether we should go have dinner now."
Hode twitched his mouth; he definitely didn't dare to say that Yelena had just poked him with her toes.
If Wanda found out, the liquid in this pool probably wouldn't be pink anymore, but bright red.
He didn't think Wanda wouldn't do it; this family of Wanda's was particularly fragile mentally.
"Yeah, I was indeed hungry just now, so I wanted to go eat."
Yelena didn't say anything, but gave a meaningful smile.
Then she stood up, revealing her firm and graceful figure from long-term exercise as she walked up.
This scene made Hode's eyes almost unable to look away; after all, it was truly too alluring.
"Is it good to look at?"
Wanda was so angry that her breathing became a bit rapid.
This look was just too... lecherous!
"No."
Hode definitely couldn't admit it even if he died, and quickly explained: "I was just thinking about what to have for dinner!"
After the explanation, he barely managed to convince Wanda that he hadn't been staring just now.
Because the time was about right, Hode simply brought everyone to the banquet hall of the hot spring resort.
Although the food here wasn't as delicious as what Hodemade, there were many special dishes, such as fruit puree high-temperature hot spring eggs, etc.
Although the taste was average, the main point was the novelty.
"Thank you all for your hospitality; I have to go handle important matters now."
After eating and drinking her fill, Yelena stood up and thanked them with a smile.
Although she did want to stay with Hode for a while, she hadn't forgotten that she still had a mission on this trip.
"Then you go ahead."
Hode smiled and waved, watching Yelena leave.
"Mr. Hode, I'm going out to put away the plates."
Just at this moment, Lorna stood up for some reason, her eyes emitting a light devoid of emotion.
"There's no need for that, is there? After all, waitresses will come to collect them in a bit."
Hode said with a puzzled expression; after all, they were the most distinguished customers, and it wasn't in the main hall area.
So there was simply no need to specifically go and put away the plates or anything like that.
"It doesn't matter, and I'm already used to it."
After Lorna finished speaking, Hode could only nod.
"Lorna really is a good child."
Wanda watched Lorna leave and said with a gratified smile.
Because she had also noticed that her sister didn't seem very good with words.
If it wasn't someone she was familiar with, she basically wouldn't take the initiative to speak.
And she usually liked to stick to Hode; to be precise, she liked to sit in a position where she could see him.
It must be because after coming out of HYDRA, she had developed a deep attachment to Hode, which is why she was like this.
Outside the corridor, Yelena was just about to leave when she heard footsteps coming from behind and subconsciously turned her head.
Hum!
Before she could react, a green light wrapped in immense force slammed her against the wall.
Her whole body was lifted high, and her eyes couldn't help but become flustered.
She saw Lorna, her hands emitting green light, walking up to her step by step with cold eyes.
"I'm warning you, stay away from Mr. Hode in the future. Mr. Hode belongs to my sister!"
Lorna said with a gloomy face, warning her word by word with a cold expression.
The force in her hands was constantly increasing, and her eyes were filled with killing intent.
If anyone wanted to snatch Mr. Hode away, she wouldn't mind getting rid of them.
She had actually noticed everything just now, she just hadn't intended to take action directly.
Yelena was pressed by this immense force, her expression becoming somewhat painful.
She never imagined that this seemingly taciturn little girl would suddenly take action.
And this method was completely different from the data they had collected from the underground laboratory.
According to the data inside the Red Room, this child named Lorna could only control very light metal.
Yet, they never imagined she could actually lift her directly up.
"Speak, or you aren't leaving!"
Lorna stared fixedly at Yelena, her eyes growing increasingly impatient.
"Fine, I won't try to take Hode away from your sister."
Feeling the intense killing intent from the other, Yelenanodded repeatedly without hesitation.
She had no choice now, so even if she didn't want to, she had to nod in agreement.
After all, she didn't think she could handle such a terrifying ability user in this situation.
"That's for the best!"
Lorna released her hand, and Yelena fell straight to the ground.
She turned and left without hesitation, but the moment she opened the private room door, her gloomy expression instantly transformed into a smile: "Mr. Hode, I'm back!"
With that speed of transformation, one couldn't even tell what her gloomy and sullen appearance had been just moments ago.
"You're back. Perfect, come sit down and watch me perform some interesting magic for you all!"
Hode waved at Lorna, urging her to come sit down quickly.
"Okay!"
Lorna nodded with a bright smile and hurried to Hode's side.
"Let me perform a play for you!"
Hode waved his right hand, and the water in the pool nearby turned into a thin stream that flew onto the table.
The water stream slowly formed several small figures, and the facial features on these figures appeared incredibly clear.
"Isn't that Thor and Loki?"
With just a glance, Wanda recognized the two figures conjured up.
She never imagined that Hode would choose to conjure these two.
The conjured Thor was holding Loki, who lay on the ground.
"I am actually an incredibly hypocritical and cunning person..."
Loki said, looking at Thor in front of him with a struggling voice.
"No, believe me, I will tell Father of your heroic deeds."
Thor looked at Loki with a pained expression, his voice trembling.
"No... I didn't do it for him..."
The two continued to act out the emotional drama.
It must be said, the three of them watched this display with great interest.
Wanda, in particular, couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from curling upward.
[Ding! Your performance has gained loyal spectators!]
[Obtained reward: Ice Elemental Power!]
"There's a reward for this too?"
Hode thought to himself, his expression becoming incredibly strange.
He had never imagined there would be a reward for this.
Although he had participated in many dangerous sports like mountain climbing before, this was the first time he encountered a reward for performing a play for others.
"Looks like I'm lucky today; I actually got two rewards!"
Hode couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and these weren't just things like money.
One could endlessly produce alcohol and strengthen the body.
This Ice Elemental Power was even more different.
He couldn't help but sigh that today was truly a lucky day.
Ice Elemental Power is the ability to control ice and freeze all things; after mastering it, one can even freeze molecular structures.
This is similar to an Omega-level Iceman!
And more importantly, this Ice Elemental Power can achieve very powerful effects.
It is said that it can even freeze time.
Although he also has Fire Elemental Power, the main focus of the two is ultimately quite different.
"Why are you suddenly so happy? Is there something interesting?"
Wanda felt Hode's mood instantly brighten several times over, which made her a bit confused.
After all, Hode's mood usually didn't fluctuate much; apart from that, he was usually very calm.
"Because you like my performance, I feel deeply honored."
Hode smiled and reached out to pinch Wanda's cheek.
It must be said, it was truly as tender and smooth as always.
His gaze couldn't help but sweep downward; because this was a private space, the yukata wasn't wrapped tightly.
Looking at Wanda's proud figure, Hode felt a bit dry-mouthed for a moment.
"It's about time now; let's get ready to go back to sleep!"
Hode waved his right hand, and the water returned to its original place.
"We're going back so soon? It's only a little past seven!"
Gwen and Lorna were reluctant to leave.
They hadn't had enough fun yet.
They had originally wanted to soak in the hot spring again after eating their fill.
"You guy, really..."
Just from Hode's gaze, Wanda knew exactly what he was thinking.
She pinched Hode's thigh hard under the table.
This guy really thinks of... when he's full and warm. His mind is like this every single day.
But because of Hode's request, they had no choice but to go back.
Although the hot spring resort had places to stay, Hodeinsisted on returning to the Villa.
After all, the resort buildings were only one or two stories high and basically made of wood.
Therefore, sound traveled easily, and he didn't want anyone eavesdropping.
After everyone returned to the Villa, it was already 9:30, so everyone went back to their own rooms to sleep.
Although it was relatively early, after soaking in the hot spring all night, it was quite exhausting.
Because the Villa was quite large, everyone had their own separate room.
Even Wanda had her own separate room.
Late at night, the bedroom door slowly opened.
A figure flashed right in.
"Hode, Gwen is still next door!"
Wanda immediately saw that it was Hode and hurried to push him away, because Gwen was right next door.
"What are you afraid of? She won't notice."
Hode didn't take this to heart at all; it wasn't like this hadn't happened before, so what was there to fear?
Meanwhile, next door, Gwen was drifting off to sleep when she heard noises from the next room.
How strange? There was panting.
Is Wanda still exercising this late?
And why does this sound so familiar, like something she heard at Hode's place before?
The next day. At the dining table.
Wanda walked out with a glowing face, but her eyes revealed exhaustion.
Gwen wasn't any better off; she had basically listened to strange movements all night and only fell asleep very late.
"Gwen, sister, what happened to you two last night?"
Lorna looked confused; yesterday they had gone to sleep quite early, so why did they look so sleepy?
"Wanda, why were you exercising all night last night? I couldn't even sleep!"
Gwen couldn't help but complain that Wanda was still exercising last night, and she hadn't slept well all night.
Moreover, the most lethal part of this sound was that it had a rhythm, making it even harder to fall asleep.
Hode looked at the two with a wicked smile.
Wanda glared at him fiercely and apologized with a face full of regret: "I'm sorry, I'll be careful in the future!"
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Just as everyone was eating breakfast, there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it so early in the morning..."
Hode stood up to open the door.
After opening it, what came into view was a bald egghead and a woman full of heroic spirit.
"I am Nick Fury."
Nick Fury was stunned for a moment when he saw a young man open the door, and subconsciously asked: "Doesn't Wanda Maximoff live here?"
He had received information yesterday. Wanda was in Westview.
But why was a man opening the door?!
Chapter 98 Nick Fury's shock, three great beauties playing with Hode?!
"Wanda, a big bald guy is looking for you."
Hode turned his head with a bored expression and returned to sit at the dining table, guessing that this big bald guy probably had some mission and was looking for Wanda again.
Otherwise, how could this guy possibly appear in this place?
They had only been resting for a day or two, and this bald guy had actually come directly to the door.
Hearing this, Nick Fury's mouth twitched slightly.
He was, after all, the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and who was he calling a bald guy!
He looked at the departing Hode with a speechless expression, inwardly complaining: "A bald guy is looking for me?"
Wanda stood up and walked over here, muttering to herself as she walked.
"Where did this bald guy come from? Could it be some fan who noticed me?"
"It's me."
Nick Fury looked at Wanda with a gloomy expression; his naturally dark face became even darker.
"Director?!"
Wanda was surprised when she saw Nick Fury.
Nick Fury actually appeared here, and even Hill had come along.
"Long time no see, Wanda."
Nick Fury smiled.
"Come in and talk!"
Wanda invited the two of them into the living room.
After all, she knew that coming to find her must involve something confidential.
As soon as he entered, Nick Fury was stunned because he unexpectedly saw Gwen and Lorna.
Regarding these two, S.H.I.E.L.D. had files on them, so he remembered them very clearly, but he didn't expect them to appear here together.
You have to know, one was a Mutant previously imprisoned by HYDRA, and the other is Ghost-Spider.
These two people who basically couldn't be brought together were actually sitting here.
He couldn't understand what was going on at all, and Gwen and Lorna were actually chatting and laughing with the man who opened the door for him.
And they looked very close; plus Wanda, there were actually three extraordinary individuals gathered in the house.
He couldn't help but look at Hode again, unable to understand why the three of them were hanging out with an ordinary person.
Meanwhile, the group had just finished breakfast.
When they arrived at the sofa, Wanda immediately introduced Hode and the others.
"This is my good friend Hode, Gwen is my friend, and this is my sister Lorna!"
The reason she introduced them was to tell Nick Fury that their relationship was very good.
Otherwise, they would need to go out separately to find a place to talk.
After all, a lot of information within S.H.I.E.L.D. is very confidential.
"Hello everyone."
Nick Fury gave a simple greeting. Since the others were all Wanda's friends, he didn't pay too much attention.
"Director, what brings you here to find me this time?"
Wanda looked at the serious expression on Nick Fury's face and took the initiative to ask.
Coming all this way to find her, she wouldn't believe it if there wasn't something important.
Besides, this time even Agent Hill had come along.
"Hill."
Nick Fury looked serious, straightened his back, and looked at Hill beside him.
Hill nodded slightly and took out a tablet computer and a stack of documents from the briefcase she was carrying.
After turning on the screen, it shockingly displayed a strange image.
It showed some cultists gathered in a circle, their mouths muttering some indistinct syllables.
Because the filming location was relatively dim, not much could be seen clearly.
After the screen flickered, the image suddenly turned completely black.
"What is going on?"
Wanda frowned as she watched this strange ritual.
No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem right!
Although it was through a lens, it gave her an incredibly evil feeling.
Even the patterns drawn on the ground seemed to be painted with blood.
"We recently investigated some cultists who are holding some kind of ritual related to supernatural events, and this matter has led to many people going missing."
While speaking, Hill took the documents out of the drawer and handed them to Wanda opposite her.
Wanda opened the documents and glanced at them briefly, her expression becoming increasingly serious.
Because it was clearly a list of missing persons.
And there were quite a few missing people on it, even a thick stack.
"We came to find you this time because we hope you can cooperate and assist us in solving this case."
Nick Fury stated the purpose of his trip.
After all, this matter was too strange, and they couldn't even find many clues.
Although there was video, the content captured was too little.
The other party seemed to be able to sense the cameras, and they were all able to easily avoid their tracking.
That's why they specifically came to find Wanda for help.
The reason they didn't look for other Avengers members was that this matter was too strange.
And it would be better if there was help with magic or similar things, which is why Wanda was chosen!
Meanwhile, Hode, who was on the side, touched his chin thoughtfully and looked at Nick Fury and the other.
Because yesterday when Yelena came to execute a mission, she also roughly mentioned that this seemed to be a paranormal event.
In other words, Yelena should also be here to investigate this matter!
"I..."
A look of hesitation appeared on Wanda's face.
If it were before, she would naturally have agreed immediately.
But she had just spent some time with Hode and hadn't been able to rest properly, and now she had to go on a mission again.
This was somewhat reluctant.
"I know it's not easy for you to get a rest, but we really need your help now."
"Although other Avengers members are available, their strength and magic are not as strong as yours!"
"And some of them have things to do and simply can't get away."
Nick Fury spoke with a sincere expression, pleading with Wanda to help.
Furthermore, this matter couldn't be solved by technology and brute force.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to specifically find Wanda.
"I..."
Wanda hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly and agreed: "I can go with you, but I want to bring Hode!"
Anyway, if she went now, she couldn't just leave Hodehere by himself.
This guy would flirt at the slightest inattention, and even if Gwen watched him, it would definitely be useless.
The little girl's heart was too soft; maybe Hode could just coax her and it would be fine.
What's more, these cultists sounded like they were related to magic, so calling Hode was the most appropriate thing to do.
After all, Hode was a great mage, even though she also knew quite a bit of magic.
But compared to Hode, it was simply not on the same level.
If they could finish early, they could rest earlier.
"Bring him along?"
Nick Fury shifted his gaze to Hode and frowned: "That's not very appropriate, is it? This might make the mission more troublesome!"
In his eyes, this ordinary person was just a burden.
Even if he had good skills, he wouldn't be of any use in this situation.
And this might even make Wanda distracted to protect this ordinary person.
"If I don't bring Hode, then I cannot accept this mission, you can go find someone else!"
"And Hode is my lucky star; if I don't bring him, I won't agree!"
There was even a hint of anger in Wanda's tone.
She knew as soon as she heard it that Nick Fury was clearly treating Hode as a burden.
Otherwise, he would never have said such words.
Hode was the most important one in her heart now, and she absolutely would not allow others to look down on Hode!
Nick Fury himself hadn't expected Wanda's reaction to be so big.
So much so that when he spoke, his voice became incredibly serious.
"Sigh... then suit yourself."
Nick Fury simply had no choice.
After all, if Wanda really quit, he would really have no way at all.
He knew very well that he had no way to solve this mess.
So they could only pin their hopes on Wanda.
"Then let's meet tonight."
Nick Fury didn't stay here any longer.
The reason they didn't set off immediately was that these cultists only appeared at night.
So they could only possibly find clues at night.
"Okay!"
Wanda nodded directly and agreed.
Just as Nick Fury was about to leave, he seemed to remember something, turned back, and said: "Put the vacation aside for now, you must be prepared in advance!"
After all, these cultists were much more evil than they had imagined.
So they must carefully study the information they had compiled.
Wanda agreed casually.
After getting into the black SUV outside, Nick Fury turned to look at Hill beside him: "How is it?"
"I just extracted the information about this person named Hode from our database."
"This person's profile is very impressive; not only has he tried many extreme sports, but he has also won many rankings!"
"Not only that, he is also a very generous philanthropist, and at the same time a major shareholder of Stark Industries."
"Besides that, he also holds many, many titles. In some respects, he can be considered a genius."
Hill looked at the information investigated on the tablet and couldn't help but exclaim.
"But no matter how impressive he is, he is just an ordinary person."
Nick Fury didn't take Hode to heart.
Because although such people are relatively rare, they do exist.
Moreover, compared to the people in the Avengers, this is not a big deal at all.
Even Hill beside him could easily deal with such an ordinary person.
"Then do we need to take any measures?"
Hill hesitated for a moment and asked.
After all, judging from Wanda's attitude just now, this person is quite important to Wanda.
"Find someone to watch him."
Nick Fury waved his hand and said casually.
As long as he ensures this guy doesn't run into trouble, that's enough.
Inside the Villa.
"My lovely Little Witch is truly beautiful and kind-hearted; she's still thinking about the mission at a time like this."
Hode hugged Wanda from behind, leaning close to her ear and breathing softly with a teasing tone.
"Stop teasing me; that's not funny at all!"
Wanda turned her head, pouted her lips, and complained in a dissatisfied tone.
"How could that be? I quite like a Witch full of justice; it's very charming."
Hode gave Wanda a firm kiss and said in a gentle tone.
After all, he didn't really care about any mission.
Anyway, there aren't many existences within the Nine Realms right now that can truly threaten him.
In his view, Wanda's mission was just part of their vacation.
Since it's all just play, he might even be able to teach Wanda and impart some experience and techniques.
Although Wanda's strength is already quite strong now, there are still too many people more powerful than Wanda.
Furthermore, Wanda's Chaos Magic cannot be cultivated just by practicing.
It requires actual combat, and he can be by her side to protect Wanda's safety.
"Really?"
Joy appeared on Wanda's face.
After all, she basically couldn't spare much time to accompany Hode.
This had always made her feel a bit guilty deep down.
"Of course, this is to protect others!"
Hode nodded and answered with a serious expression.
Although he was relatively lazy and hadn't thought about protecting Earth.
But this World ultimately needs such a group of people.
He might not do it himself, but he wouldn't tease or mock those who do.
Because there have always been people silently contributing and working hard.
"Wanda, I want to go too."
At this moment, Gwen came over unhappily.
After all, she had initially thought about being brought along.
But she hadn't expected that no one had suggested bringing the two of them.
"Gwen, it's not that I don't want to take you, but there are too many people, and I don't know if I can look after everyone."
Although Wanda had considered whether to bring Gwenand Lorna, they would inevitably be unfamiliar with magic.
"But I want to go too; I definitely won't hold you back!"
Gwen grabbed Wanda's hand and pleaded, then looked at Hode pitifully: "I will definitely be obedient, and there absolutely won't be any accidents!"
"Wanda, why not just take them along? Otherwise, they'll be quite bored at home."
Hode looked at Wanda with a hesitant gaze.
After all, he wasn't familiar with Nick Fury, so Wanda still had to make the decision.
Looking at the pleading Gwen and Lorna, Wanda finally had no choice but to nod helplessly.
"Yay!"
Seeing Wanda agree, Gwen and Lorna cheered.
"There's still some time before evening; how about we play Ludo?"
Hode suggested playing a game, since there were exactly four people.
Ludo actually isn't very fun.
However, since Hode was playing Ludo with three stunning beauties, the fun was immense.
The winner gets a reward.
The loser gets punished.
And Hode was almost always the winner.
They played for the entire morning.
In the afternoon, they went to the most famous restaurant in Westview for a meal.
Then they went to the Peach Blossom Garden to hang out.
They took a bunch of photos.
Plus, Gwen and Lorna were absolute bundles of joy.
Wanda almost forgot about the mission entirely.
Until the evening.
Nightfall gradually descended.
Nick Fury and Hill, along with a few Agents, were behind the agreed-upon alley.
Nick Fury checked his watch; no one had arrived yet.
"Could it be that some accident happened?"
After all, those cultists might have noticed them when they arrived.
Just as Nick Fury was hesitating whether to have Hill call the "705u.com-53 Reading Club", Wanda's voice came from not far away.
"Director Fury."
Four figures could be seen walking over from the end of the alley.
Before Nick Fury could scold Wanda for being late, he saw the figures of the other three.
His already dark face became even gloomier.
"Wanda, what is the meaning of this? Why did everyone come?"
Nick Fury gritted his teeth and asked, enunciating every word.
They didn't have enough people to look after them right now.
This was clearly bringing along a bunch of dead weight.
Gwen could barely be justified, but Hode and Lorna... the combat effectiveness of these two was basically equal to Zero.
"Director, I want to bring them along!"
Wanda took a deep breath and spoke without backing down.
She had already promised!
"Wanda, you doing that..."
Nick Fury wanted to scold her, but after checking the time, he finally sighed: "Just make sure they pay attention to their own safety!"
There wasn't much time left now, and there was no time to argue with Wanda about these irrelevant matters.
If any accident really happened, it would just be their bad luck!
"By the way, did you see the documents today?"
Nick Fury asked about this matter.
After all, the documents inside were related to the upcoming mission.
"Ah... I went out to play today..."
Wanda said subconsciously.
Nick Fury was stunned: "You were out playing the whole day?"
Hearing this, he was instantly furious.
"Director, the mission is important!"
Seeing Nick Fury about to blow up, Hill hurriedly spoke to soothe him, while explaining the mission for tonight: "We detected energy fluctuations at the Skris couple's home last night, so we are going there to stake it out tonight!"
Because there were so many people, everyone split into three cars.
Inside the car.
Nick Fury said to Hill with a grave tone: "Tonight, you must keep a close eye on that guy named Hode!"
Wanda is very special.
Therefore, you must not let this guy get into trouble!
