The assistant, carrying the documents, left and diligently returned to the company for overtime.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, returned to the villa with Susan.
Before even entering the door, they both discovered the surprise Tony Stark had prepared!
Crimson roses adorned every inch of Lin Feng's villa, inside and out.
Under the colorful lights, it was like a red ocean, making Susan gasp in astonishment.
"What a grand gesture," Lin Feng marveled, "As expected of that rich dog, Tony Stark."
Thousands upon thousands of roses, he didn't know how much they cost.
Even for a man like Lin Feng, who was generally indifferent to flowers, he found it incredibly stunning, let alone the immense impact it had on a young woman like Susan.
Watching Susan run and laugh in the sea of flowers like a child, Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
"Thank you, Teacher Tony, for the assist!"
"Hey! Susan!" Lin Feng called out to Susan, waving at her with a smile.
"What's wrong, Lin!" Susan ran over and asked, her eyes filled with indescribable happiness and joy.
"Do you like it?"
Lin Feng reached out and pinched her cheek; it was slightly flushed from running around.
"I love it! Of course, I love it!"
"Thank your rich dog friend, Lin!" Susan said with a smile. She had learned the term "rich dog" from Lin Feng.
"Let's take a picture together!"
Susan pulled Lin Feng into a heart-shaped arch made of roses.
She took out her phone and switched to the front camera, but found that only half of Lin Feng's head was visible.
"Lin! You're too tall!" Susan complained playfully, "Could you crouch down a bit?"
Lin Feng, of course, wouldn't refuse. He took the phone from Susan's hand.
He crouched slightly, his right arm around Susan's waist, bringing them closer together.
From the phone's camera, it looked as if Susan was being held in Lin Feng's arms.
After taking the photo, Lin Feng was a little reluctant to let go of Susan, whose face was flushed.
"Susan! I have a gift for you!" Lin Feng said.
Immediately after, Lin Feng extended his right hand and performed a magic flip.
The next second, an exquisite necklace appeared in Lin Feng's hand.
A transparent gem dangled from a silver-white chain.
The gem was incredibly magical, faintly glowing.
Upon closer inspection, it was a very, very light grass-green, and inside, a halo seemed to flow.
Although it wasn't a high-end brand, it looked more like a custom-made piece.
"Wow!" Susan couldn't help but exclaim! This necklace might be the most beautiful she had ever seen in her life.
It was even more captivating than the ones she had seen with her best friend in luxury stores.
"This is for you, my girlfriend!" Lin Feng said slowly, looking into Susan's eyes.
Girls love jewelry, and Susan had some understanding of jewelry prices.
This almost transparent gem, which reflected light under the illumination, was undoubtedly expensive.
"Won't it..." Susan hesitated, "Won't it be a bit too precious...?"
Lin Feng, however, smiled and shook his head, his gaze at Susan filled with sincerity.
"In my heart, nothing is more precious than you!"
"Let me put it on for you, okay?" Lin Feng didn't play fair, launching a sudden attack.
A cheesy love confession struck Susan's heart deeply.
She shyly avoided Lin Feng's affectionate gaze.
Susan no longer refused, but slowly turned her back, gently lifting her hair to reveal her fair, slender neck.
This necklace was exchanged by Lin Feng in the system store; it was not an ordinary necklace.
The light green glowing gem was a product from the Elf Homeland.
It was the essence of the Tree of Life, forming only once every hundred years.
Long-term wear by ordinary people would improve their physique and also had the effect of clarifying the mind and calming the spirit.
Most importantly, it could make the wearer immune to almost all poisons.
This necklace cost Lin Feng 100,000 reputation points.
It wasn't too expensive, and Lin Feng could afford it.
Lin Feng put the necklace on Susan.
Already beautiful, Susan appeared even more ethereal and lovely, like a blonde elf against the backdrop of the rose sea.
The two unconsciously met each other's gaze, exchanging affection.
Their eyes could no longer hold anything else, only each other's figures.
The two people, experiencing love for the first time, fell into the ocean of roses.
The moon, at some unknown time, shyly hid behind the clouds... The night was deep, Lin Feng and Susan embraced, falling into a deep sleep... They slept soundly, but many others couldn't sleep.
For example... Nick Fury.
Nick Fury, with dark circles under his eyes, had just finished a video conference.
The content of the meeting was the recently occurred monster incident in New York.
Lin Feng's idea was correct; his information was placed on the tables of various major powers before the night was over.
The power he displayed was too dangerous.
Beating Abomination into outer space, a combat power that was incomprehensible.
If Lin Feng hadn't usually played the role of a superhero in New York,
then the current Lin Feng might have already been surrounded by the U.S. government.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s analysis of Lin Feng's combat power and controllability suggested that he might be an existence beyond Omega-level mutants.
During the meeting, Nick Fury repeatedly stated that they should take it slow with Lin Feng.
Since Lin Feng was willing to be a superhero in New York, it indicated a great possibility of recruiting him into the organization.
However, several other individuals, who were overly wary of Lin Feng's strength, insisted.
They must quickly bring Lin Feng's power under their control.
If they couldn't control him, they would have to find a way to destroy him.
No matter how Nick Fury tried to explain, the others seemed to have colluded, refusing to budge.
Left with no choice, Nick Fury could only retreat to advance, outwardly agreeing for now.
The entire meeting ended in discord.
Nick Fury returned to his office with a dark expression.
"Motherfucker!"
He slammed his hand on the table, creating a loud noise.
It startled Coulson.
"Control, how do we control him?"
"Have these people been sitting in their offices for so long that their brains have turned to mush?!"
"Your, your coffee, sir."
A logistics staff member tremblingly placed a cup of coffee down, then bowed their head and fled.
A furious director was too terrifying.
Picking up the coffee and taking a sip, Nick Fury still couldn't quell the resentment in his heart.
The strength Lin Feng displayed, even Captain America didn't possess such combat power.
Such immense power, as far as Nick Fury knew, was currently only possessed by Captain Marvel.
To control Lin Feng, should they call Captain Marvel back from space?
That was nonsense; Lin Feng hadn't done anything wrong; instead, he had continuously helped New York solve problems.
He was consistently projecting a positive image; everyone knew Superman was New York's guardian.
Trying to move against Lin Feng, setting aside whether they could succeed,
the consequences would be unimaginable.
Were they going to use nuclear bombs to strike a superhero who saved people every day?
Did they really think the American public was blind?
After much thought, Nick Fury looked at Coulson.
"Coulson!"
"Tomorrow afternoon, come with me to Lin Feng's villa!"
He had no intention of listening to those brain-dead idiots.
If it weren't for the need for funding, Nick Fury would have already fallen out with them.
Similar incidents had happened more than once or twice.
He had his own plans for the Avengers Initiative... And not just Nick Fury, but also the old schemer Pierce was eyeing Lin Feng.
At this time, Nick Fury didn't know that his S.H.I.E.L.D. was already riddled with holes.
Pierce was also secretly plotting how to bring Lin Feng into his own camp.
One instruction after another was sent down.
Hydra quickly collected Lin Feng's data and began formulating a recruitment plan.
Also working late was Tony Stark.
After calling Lin Feng, Tony Stark began analyzing Lin Feng's data.
He had mentioned wanting to test Lin Feng's body data last time, but there hadn't been a suitable opportunity or time.
Falling from space was one thing, but being able to fly out of Earth in an extremely short amount of time
was another matter entirely.
The difference in abilities represented by these two was not insignificant.
"Sir, Mr. Lin Feng's data profile has been created. Do you want to upload it to the data center?" Jarvis said.
"Store it on my personal server. No one is allowed to access it," Tony instructed.
Multiple forces became busy.
Clearly, this was another restless night...
