"Just a chat?"
Lin Feng saw right through Tony Stark's intentions. You want to chat? You're just lusting after the Black Rhino Armor. You're shameless!
"No thanks." A playful smirk touched Lin Feng's lips as he shook his head.
Things obtained too easily are rarely cherished. This was especially true for a genius like Tony Stark. Better to let this playboy sweat a little more.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in men. And if you're thinking about studying my armor, the answer is no. The Black Rhino Armor isn't a product of technology."
Lin Feng refused without hesitation. Not only was the armor a system reward from another world, but he also wasn't exactly a saint. He had no relationship with Tony Stark. Only a fool would hand over their gear for research just because someone asked nicely.
With that, Lin Feng vanished. The Black Rhino Armor turned into a blur, melding into the night. Once he was clear of the Stark Industries building, Lin Feng's body sank into the shadows. This was the power of the Shadow Mask!
Back at Stark Industries...
Watching Lin Feng leave, Tony Stark let out a helpless sigh. "Sigh, what a shame. Such an incredible suit of armor..."
Even though he hated to admit it, Lin Feng was right—that thing didn't look like technology at all. Not being able to study it was a massive regret!
"Jarvis, delete all surveillance footage in the vicinity. Especially anything involving that gentleman," Tony ordered solemnly.
He didn't want his savior to be targeted. He knew exactly how much trouble Lin Feng would face if the wrong people saw the Black Rhino Armor. Regardless of whether Lin Feng could handle the trouble, Tony didn't mind clearing the obstacles for him.
"Sir, the surveillance has already been damaged. I have permanently deleted all related data," Jarvis's cold, robotic voice replied.
"Oh? Right, I see."
Tony Stark was slightly taken aback but nodded. He glanced at the dead Obadiah Stane. His expression was complicated, but it soon turned cold. This man was once the uncle he trusted most, but no longer.
"You provoked the wrong person. You got what you deserved. Try being a better man in your next life."
Tony's expression hardened with resolve.
Clack, clack, clack!
At that moment, hurried footsteps echoed from the distance. A woman in a tight black tactical suit arrived, leading a squad of agents.Taking in the devastation on the field, the woman spoke in a low, steady voice. "Mr. Stark, I am Agent Natasha Romanoff of S.H.I.E.L.D. Are you alright?"
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of town.
Brooklyn.
Lin Feng emerged from the darkness, returning to his home—specifically, his bedroom. Of course, this wasn't a house he had purchased himself; it belonged to the beautiful Jessica. Due to a chance encounter with her, Lin Feng had been staying here ever since he transmigrated.
"The Shadow Mask is indeed powerful, even if I can only summon the most basic Ninjas for now!" Lin Feng's eyes glowed with excitement as he felt his presence merging with the darkness.
The power of the Shadow Mask was eerie yet miraculous. Much like Jade from the original series when she transformed into the Shadow Queen, he could command the power of the Shadow Khan Legion at will! The only minor drawback was that the Shadow Mask currently only allowed him to summon the Ninja Corps, rather than specialized units like the Shadow Eaters.
Thump!
Just as Lin Feng was reflecting on his new powers, his bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. A beautiful girl in pajamas burst into the room.
"Lin, are you okay?!" The girl's voice was low and filled with suspicion, but mostly concern. She had sensed a terrifying aura just moments ago and feared Lin Feng was in danger.
However, seeing him standing there perfectly fine, Jessica's lovely brows furrowed.
"What's wrong, Jessica?" Lin Feng asked, feigning confusion.
Jessica didn't answer. She stared at him intensely for a moment, then shook her head in silence and turned to leave.
"A girl who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, huh?" Lin Feng shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips.
It was clear Jessica cared about his safety. He could also tell she had likely guessed something—perhaps that he was a Mutant or something similar. But Jessica was a smart girl; she didn't try to pry or interrogate him. This only increased Lin Feng's favorable impression of her. Setting aside her kindness in taking him in, if he had the chance in the future, he wouldn't mind helping her move past the shadows of her own history.
Lin Feng went to the bathroom to wash up, his mind turning over his next moves.
"The rewards from the system this time are great, but my appearance is likely to attract the attention of certain people..."
"S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, maybe even the Ancient One!"
"I need to get stronger—fast."
"Based on the timeline, what other 'famous scenes' are coming up that I can check in at?"
"I should send the Shadow Khan out to gather more intelligence. And then there's Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D...."
With a flick of his will, Lin Feng issued a command. "Go, Shadow Khan Legion!!"
