"Boss, this guy really is like you said, someone who won't give up until they see the coffin. Even now, he still wants to harm you."
"If you ask me, we should just kill him with one strike to eliminate future troubles, so we don't have to worry about him causing problems for us later."
Looking at Loki, who had fallen unconscious again, Commander frowned and said with murderous intent in her eyes.
"Yeah, Boss, since we've already gotten what we wanted, why keep this guy around?" 2B also chimed in and asked.
Hearing this, Lauren shook his head, pretending to be mysterious.
"Hehe, your vision is still too short-sighted. The value of this guy isn't just limited to an ice box of winter."
"You'll know in the future. For now, lock him up again! He'll be of great use before long."
Hearing Lauren say this, the women stopped asking questions.
At this moment, Commander covered her mouth and chuckled, "Boss, you're so bad! When he wakes up, he'll probably be pissed to death."
"You said you'd let him go, but now you've captured him again. He'll definitely call you untrustworthy."
"What untrustworthy? I said I'd let him go, didn't I? But I didn't say I wouldn't capture him again!"
"Besides, who told him to be so arrogant? I gave him a chance to run, but he didn't. He insisted on standing at the door showing off. Who's fault is that?"
Lauren spread his hands and said with an innocent look, as if it were all Loki's fault.
Looking at him like this, the women couldn't help but laugh, feeling that their Boss was too bad.
But as the saying goes, Gunman who aren't bad aren't loved by women. The more Lauren was like this, the more they loved him.
"Oh right, Boss, is this ice box of winter really as powerful as you say? Can it freeze an entire Planet?"
Just then, everyone's eyes shifted to the ice box of winter in Lauren's hand. They were skeptical about the divine artifact Lauren mentioned.
"Yes, this thing is the treasure of the Frost Giants. A thousand years ago, Laufey, the King of the Frost Giants, who is also Loki's biological father."
It was precisely by relying on this divine artifact that he made a name for himself in the vast Nine Realms. However, his opponent Odin was simply too powerful.
He was eventually suppressed by Odin, and this divine artifact was confiscated. To this day, the Ice Clan is still thinking about reclaiming this treasure."
"Boss, doesn't that mean if the Ice Clan knows this treasure is in our hands, they will target us?"
"Yes, most likely. So this is both a treasure and a source of trouble. Now that Odin is in a deep sleep and has no time to attend to other matters."
Once Laufey knows that their clan's treasure is in our hands, he will definitely come to attack us, which is not good for us.
So this is also one of the reasons why I can't let Loki leave for now. This kid is very malicious.
Once I let him go, it won't take even a day before he uses Laufey's hand to deal with me.
Therefore, before I become strong enough, I should try my best to avoid conflicts. When it's time to lay low, it's better to lay low."
Lauren continued to play with the ice box of winter in his hand while explaining very seriously.
"So that's how it is. Boss is indeed Boss, you've thought of everything." Mary Rose said with admiration, giving Lauren a flattering compliment.
"Of course. What kind of person is Boss? He is our greatest creator, the god in my heart."
At this moment, 2B also chimed in and started fawning over Lauren again. There was nothing she could do, Lauren had just said he would cancel her lollipop reward, so naturally, she had to seize the opportunity to make up for it.
And as expected, after being fawned over like that, Lauren immediately showed a very pleased expression on his face.
After all, everyone likes to hear compliments, and Lauren was no exception.
"2B, you finally said something I like to hear. Tonight's lollipop reward is restored, and you and Mary Rose are in the starting lineup."
"Yay, thank you Boss! Can we start now?" Hearing that she could have lollipops again, 2B immediately became as happy as a child.
"What are you thinking? It's not evening yet. I still need to properly study this ice box of winter."
"It would be such a waste if such a powerful divine artifact couldn't be used to its full potential." Lauren said, about to immerse himself in research.
However, just then, Tifa, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke up, "Boss, I don't know if it's my imagination."
"I always feel like this thing is calling to me. Can you give it to me so I can see what's going on?"
"What! Calling you?" Hearing Tifa's words, Lauren looked at her with a shocked expression, his eyes full of doubt.
"Yes, I seem to be able to use it." Tifa nodded and immediately reached out towards the ice box of winter.
Suddenly, the ice box of winter, which had been completely unresponsive in Lauren's hand, lit up with a brilliant blue light.
At the same time, it actually floated up on its own and then flew towards Tifa before everyone could react.
An unparalleled cold air burst out from the ice box of winter, freezing everything around it in just an instant.
Fortunately, Lauren and his wives were not ordinary people. The moment the cold air erupted, they had already retreated to a safe distance.
Only then did they escape this sudden cold wave. However, Tifa stood quietly in front of the ice box of winter, seemingly unaffected by the cold air.
Not only that, but her body actually began to dissipate at a visible speed, turning into a nanometer particle form.
Subsequently, while everyone watched in stunned silence, Tifa, who had transformed into nanometer particles, actually directly invaded the ice box of winter and began to merge with it.
As time passed, Tifa's entire body actually merged into the ice box of winter.
And the ice box of winter also underwent a drastic change due to Tifa's fusion; it was no longer a square iron box.
Instead, it turned into a giant, adult-sized cocoon standing motionless in front of everyone. Occasionally, a blue light would circulate and flicker inside, looking very magical.
"Boss, Tifa she...?" Looking at the sudden change, everyone showed shocked expressions, not knowing what to do.
Only Lauren was deep in thought, seemingly having figured something out.
Because he had given Tifa the freezing ability, Tifa's nanometer cells possessed the ability to create ice.
And this might also be the reason why Tifa could sense the ice box of winter. Combined with her ability as a nanorobot, she was able to merge with it.
However, the energy inside the ice box of winter was too vast, so the merging process would likely take a considerable amount of time.
With this thought, he immediately layered protection around Tifa, who had turned into a cocoon, and then guarded her, waiting for the moment she would break out of the cocoon.
