After finishing their serious business, Tony couldn't help but start mouthing off again.
"Hey, Lin, do you know what those reporters are calling you now?" Tony chuckled, winking at Lin Feng.
From that expression, Lin Feng knew he was about to be a jerk again...
"Those reporters are calling you Superboy! Hahahahaha!"
"It sounds like an underage brat! So childish!" Tony couldn't help but laugh, patting Lin Feng's shoulder teasingly.
Pepper, in the front seat, suddenly turned around and mercilessly retorted, "You're even more childish, Tony, admitting you're Iron Man!"
"Hey! Whose side are you on?!" Tony grumbled.
Now it was Lin Feng's turn to laugh out loud.
"Actually, I'd prefer if they called me Superman..." Lin Feng said. The term Superboy... Lin Feng didn't know what to say about it.
"Superman?" Tony read the word carefully.
"Not bad, but it doesn't sound as powerful as my Iron Man! Right?!"
"How about Iron Man takes a punch from me?"
"Oh no, no, no, Lin! We're friends, fighting isn't good behavior!" Tony quickly refused. He couldn't withstand a punch from Lin Feng; in his mind, this guy had long been equated with a monster.
Seeing Tony flustered, Lin Feng and Pepper laughed again.
The entire car was filled with a joyful atmosphere... Before long, amidst their conversation, the car pulled back to the villa.
Pepper, sensing the situation, found an excuse to go inspect dinner preparations in the kitchen.
She left the space to the two men who clearly still had serious matters to discuss.
Tony and Lin Feng walked slowly towards the living room, chatting about interesting things.
As they reached the living room, Lin Feng suddenly raised an eyebrow, stopped talking, and looked towards the window... Seeing Lin Feng suddenly fall silent, Tony was also startled and followed Lin Feng's gaze towards the window.
"I AM IRON MAN!" A voice came from the darkness, a bit deep, a bit disdainful.
"Tony Stark, do you think you're the only superhero in the world?!" The figure slowly walked into the light, immediately asserting dominance with a full aura.
"Who are you?!" Tony Stark looked at the newcomer with a strange expression.
A stranger had appeared in his house, and Jarvis hadn't alerted him, meaning the other party had the ability to restrict Jarvis's activities.
This was not good news for Tony; he couldn't arm his Iron Man suit at any moment, which made him feel a sense of crisis.
But he wasn't exactly panicking, as Lin Feng was still by his side.
"Nick Fury! Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!" the Black Egg replied, his gaze lingering on Lin Feng for a moment longer.
"Tony Stark! And Lin Feng!"
"Can we sit down and talk...?"
Tony didn't refuse, but walked to the sofa with a cold face. He wanted to hear what this Black Egg who had intruded into his house had to say.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, shrugged. He was even more indifferent and could probably guess what the Black Egg wanted to say.
The three sat around the sofa, the atmosphere a bit heavy.
"I want to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative!" Nick Fury spoke first, his face serious.
"What's that? I don't sell Avenger missiles anymore, you've got the wrong person." Tony scoffed.
The teasing in his words was obvious, and the Black Egg's face immediately darkened further.
Lin Feng turned his head away, stifling a laugh...
Nick Fury, with a dark face, said, "Be serious, Tony."
"This concerns your future!"
"Wow!" Tony looked at the Black Egg through his nostrils: "Do I need to pay to watch the future?"
Lin Feng tried hard to hold his breath, afraid he would burst out laughing if he wasn't careful.
Good heavens, worthy of Tony...
Interrupted twice, the Black Egg was clearly a bit angry. He stared at Tony with his single eye, not saying a word.
Tony felt a chill under his gaze and finally gave in.
"Alright, alright! Tell me about your..."
"That what... what what initiative."
"The Avengers Initiative!" The Black Egg took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and emphasized each word.
As the Black Egg explained, Lin Feng and Tony finally understood the general meaning of the plan.
Simply put, it was about gathering capable individuals to see if they could achieve a synergy where one plus one is greater than two.
When Earth and humanity needed it, they would stand up to resist foreign enemies or collectively confront formidable foes.
Tony patiently nodded dismissively, while Lin Feng listened with a casual interest.
This sense of reality, like being part of a movie, made him feel incredibly fresh.
"That's about it. What are your thoughts?" After a while, the Black Egg finally finished speaking and swallowed.
Damn Tony Stark, he didn't even pour him a glass of water...
"Are you done?"
Tony Stark, who was almost falling asleep, asked, "I have a question."
"Uh-huh?" The Black Egg stared at Tony, gesturing for him to continue.
"In your... whatever agency, is there anyone more powerful than him?" Tony pointed a finger at Lin Feng, who was watching the show.
"Uh..." The Black Egg was choked. More powerful than Lin Feng?
He thought carefully, someone who could fly down from outer space unharmed, and whose punch could deliver tens of tons of force?
Captain America wouldn't do. Would Captain Marvel count?
But Carol wasn't on Earth at the moment.
As for others, there were indeed some people with impressive superpowers, but none of them could probably withstand a single punch from Lin Feng...
Seeing the Black Egg silent for a long time, Tony's patience gradually ran out, and he waved his hand, saying, "Alright! I get it."
"To be honest, I'm not interested in your Superboy organization!" Tony spread his hands, looking bored.
"Don't look at me like that, fella! You know I'm not talking about you..." Seeing Lin Feng look over, Tony explained helplessly, then shifted his gaze back to the Black Egg's face.
"Lin Feng and I won't be joining your whatever organization. Please leave now!"
Tony stood up to usher him out: "My friend and I are about to have dinner. I'm sorry, we didn't prepare a portion for you!"
Facing Tony Stark's unceremonious expulsion, the Black Egg stood up and left expressionlessly, without much entanglement, only leaving a remark as he departed: "We'll meet again, it won't be long."
He hadn't intended to persuade the tough nut Tony on their first meeting; he merely showed his face.
Tony's personality was undoubtedly a hard bone to crack. He would have to wait for Tony to show a weakness before he could possibly persuade this stubborn guy, or rather, wait for him to fall into a predicament. The Black Egg had a firm grasp on human psychology.
As for Lin Feng, who possessed extraordinary abilities, he hadn't said a single word throughout the entire conversation.
However, during the talk, Lin Feng had shown a slight hint of interest, which the Black Egg keenly observed. She felt she could find a time to talk to Lin Feng alone first...
Sitting in the fully equipped black tech SUV, the Black Egg pulled out a phone and dialed: "Natasha! Your vacation is ending early..."
Natasha: "???"
In the villa, Lin Feng rubbed his temples and said to Tony, somewhat speechless, "You didn't even ask me and just rejected it for me?"
"No way?" Tony exclaimed in surprise, "Are you interested in that Superboy organization?"
"Come on, buddy, don't be silly, grow up. I'll take you to a party sometime and let you mature a bit!" Tony patted Lin Feng's shoulder, mocking him.
"It's not that I'm interested in his organization, it's just..." Lin Feng explained, "Forget it, let's not bother with him."
"As for the party, hehehe, when?!" Hearing about a party, Lin Feng's eyes seemed to light up, and he chuckled, rubbing his hands.
Having been a virgin for 21 years, he had never attended any parties, let alone what a party Tony Stark would attend would be like.
"Oh, buddy! It seems we have similar hobbies, don't worry, there will be one soon." Tony Stark winked at Lin Feng and said, "I plan to host a party in a couple of days, a party to celebrate the birth of Iron Man! How about that!"
Tony Stark had a meaningful expression: "I'll let you know then, young man, prepare plenty of umbrellas!"
"Uh... don't misunderstand, Tony, I just want to see what a party is like."
"To be honest, I've never attended any parties in my life..."
"Then you're truly pathetic, Lin!" Tony sighed, "Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Let's go eat first! After dealing with reporters all day, I need to replenish some energy..."
