Before long, the four of them sat down around the dining table.
Wanda and Pietro sat together. The twins seemed a bit reserved, as they hadn't had many meals with others since losing their parents.
"Pietro, Wanda has told you everything..."
Pietro nodded silently.
Wanda had told Pietro everything she knew, including their enemy, Tony Stark.
He knew that as Superman, Lin Feng wouldn't lie to him.
However, the truth he had believed for over a decade being overturned in an instant made him feel a great sense of unreality.
Seeing Pietro nod, Lin Feng continued, "Then tell me your choice, Pietro."
Pietro was visibly hesitant. Wanda nudged him subtly.
"Wanda's choice is my choice. It's just that there are some things I want to verify myself!" Pietro said.
Lin Feng shrugged, knowing roughly what Pietro wanted to verify—namely, whether Tony Stark was truly his enemy.
"Since you both agree, I'll tell you my arrangements for you."
"After dinner, I will help you enhance your abilities! Then, I will send Pietro to a place where you can earn a good income and have ample time and resources to investigate the truth of what I've said!"
"But this is not free! I assume you understand." Lin Feng emphasized.
"As compensation, Wanda will live in my villa and protect Susan!"
"Of course, there is no danger for you in this. The duration will be tentatively set at one year."
"During this time, I will pay you a salary. That's all for now. Do you agree?"
The siblings exchanged glances and both nodded, indicating they had no objections.
Lin Feng had dismantled the HYDRA base, leaving them with nowhere else to go. Neither of them liked a life of wandering.
Moreover, the terms offered by Lin Feng were extremely generous. They had no reason to refuse.
As for whether Lin Feng would have ulterior motives with Wanda living in the villa,
Pietro felt it was unlikely.
Firstly, Lin Feng was Superman, a public figure.
Secondly, his girlfriend, Susan, also lived there. Even if Lin Feng had any ideas, Susan would stop him.
If Lin Feng knew what he was thinking, he would surely burst out laughing.
Young man, you're too naive!
Seeing their agreement, Lin Feng smiled with satisfaction. Now that things were settled, they could enjoy their meal!
"Good! Let's eat first! After dinner, I'll help you enhance your abilities!"
The twins had already been eager for the sumptuous dinner.
They had little money, and HYDRA's meals were hardly delicious.
After years of wandering, they rarely saw such abundant food!
Without further ado, they ate their fill of the sumptuous dinner, leaving them deeply satisfied.
After dinner, Lin Feng arranged for them to stay in the guest rooms.
His villa had quite a few rooms, but for the sake of facilitating their evolution, he had arranged for the twins to stay together.
Pointing to the two single beds, Lin Feng said, "Lie down, one on each. I will guide the energy within you."
"You will fall into a deep sleep. When you wake up again, your abilities will have greatly increased!"
The twins nodded and lay down on the beds fully clothed.
They were like naive deer, showing no concern that Lin Feng might harm them.
No wonder they were so easily tricked in the original story.
"Close your eyes!" Lin Feng instructed.
The siblings obediently closed their eyes.
Lin Feng raised his left hand, and the Mind Stone glowed with a yellow light.
The yellow light, like smoke, slowly drifted towards the twins' brains under Lin Feng's direction.
A wave of dizziness washed over them, and the twins quickly lost consciousness, falling into a deep sleep.
"System, begin!"
Lin Feng obviously didn't know how to guide their abilities, but he had the damn system! It would be foolish not to use it, even if it cost some reputation points.
With the system's help, the Mind Stone's energy continuously enticed and activated the abilities within them, strengthening them.
The output power fluctuated, and the twins unconsciously frowned frequently.
After about ten minutes of continuous output, Lin Feng cut off the energy flow.
His task was merely to guide and strengthen, not to expend too much energy.
Moreover, this was already the limit the twins could bear. Their internal energies were undergoing constant changes.
Everything would depend on their awakening to know the actual effect.
However, Lin Feng estimated that they wouldn't wake up until tomorrow at the earliest.
Closing the door, Lin Feng also went to rest. Another busy day as a superhero!
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, the twins woke up earlier than Lin Feng had predicted.
Early in the morning, Lin Feng was awakened by a clanging sound from the courtyard.
He opened the window and saw the two siblings excitedly experimenting with their abilities in his courtyard.
Wanda's formerly sparse and weak red energy was now almost visibly concentrated around her hands.
Their abilities had been enhanced, and Lin Feng was pleased. However, when he saw the subject of her experimentation, his expression immediately darkened.
Red chaotic magic slowly lifted a sleek, cool-looking car, making it float up and down in the air.
It was Lin Feng's recently purchased Lamborghini...
Seemingly amazed by her abilities, Wanda's wrist movements were even more vigorous than yesterday! Lin Feng's Lamborghini danced merrily in the air.
Pietro, on the other hand, was running in circles around the courtyard at such speed that only a faint silver streak was left in his wake.
Lin Feng felt a headache coming on.
He walked out of the villa with a speechless expression. The villa's lawn was almost worn bald by Pietro's running.
These two... could they also have the attributes of mischievous children?
"Wanda..." Lin Feng called out with annoyance.
The sudden voice startled Wanda, and her not-yet-proficient chaotic magic instantly lost control.
With a loud crash.
The Lamborghini slammed heavily onto the ground, its windshield shattering immediately, and its tires deflated.
Screeeech...
The Lamborghini's alarm wailed mournfully, as if complaining to Lin Feng about Wanda's "brutal" methods.
Wanda shrunk her neck. She had become too excited with her enhanced abilities.
"So... sorry."
Wanda apologized softly, her neck tucked in like a frightened turtle.
Pietro also ran over. He looked at the Lamborghini and then at the ruined lawn, awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Superman..."
"I'll work to pay you back!"
Lin Feng rubbed his temples, speechless and with a headache.
"Never mind. Come in for breakfast. After eating, I'll take Pietro to his workplace!"
He decided that after breakfast, he would send this rascal Pietro to S.H.I.E.L.D.
