The little assistant left with the materials, diligently returning to the company to work overtime.
Lin Feng, however, brought Susan back to the villa.
Before they even entered, they discovered the surprise Tony Stark had prepared!
Scarlet roses adorned the entire villa, inside and out.
Under the glow of colored lights, it was like a sea of red, so beautiful it made Susan gasp.
What a grand gesture. Lin Feng marveled, truly worthy of the "rich dude" Tony Stark.
Thousands upon thousands of roses, who knew how much money it cost.
Even Lin Feng, a man generally indifferent to flowers, was deeply impressed. For a young woman like Susan, the impact was even greater.
Watching Susan run and laugh like a child in the sea of flowers, Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim inwardly:
"Thank you, Tony, my good old friend, for the assist!"
"Hey! Susan!" Lin Feng called out, beckoning her with a wide smile.
"What is it, Lin!" Susan ran over and asked, her eyes filled with unspeakable happiness and joy.
"Do you like it?"
Lin Feng reached out and gently pinched her cheek. Due to her running around, Susan's face was slightly flushed.
"I love it! Of course, I love it!"
"Thank you to your rich dude friend, Lin!" Susan said with a smile. She had picked up the term "rich dude" from Lin Feng.
"Let's take a picture together!"
Susan pulled Lin Feng to a heart-shaped wreath made of roses.
She took out her phone and switched to the front camera, but found she could only capture half of Lin Feng's head.
"Lin! You're too tall!" Susan complained playfully, "Could you crouch down a bit!"
Lin Feng, of course, wouldn't refuse. He took Susan's phone.
He slightly crouched, put his right arm around Susan's waist, drawing them close.
Through the phone camera, it looked like Susan was being held in Lin Feng's arms.
After taking the photo, Lin Feng brought the slightly flushed Susan over.
"Susan! I have a gift for you!" Lin Feng said.
Immediately after, Lin Feng performed a magic flourish with his right hand.
In the next second, an exquisite necklace appeared in his hand.
A silver-white chain hung a transparent gemstone.
The gemstone was incredibly magical, faintly glowing.
Upon closer inspection, the gem was a very, very pale shade of grass green, with a faint halo seeming to flow within.
Although not from a high-end brand, it looked more like a custom piece.
"Wow!" Susan couldn't help but exclaim! This necklace was perhaps the most beautiful she had ever seen in her life.
It was more captivating than anything she had seen with her girlfriends in luxury stores.
"For you, my girlfriend!" Lin Feng said, looking into Susan's eyes.
"Isn't it..." Susan hesitated, "Isn't it a bit too precious..."
As a girl, she had some understanding of the price of jewelry.
The necklace Lin Feng produced was clearly worth a fortune.
"In my heart, nothing is more precious than you!"
"Let me help you put it on, okay?" Lin Feng unexpectedly and playfully initiated,
A cheesy romantic line struck Susan's heart deeply.
Susan shyly avoided Lin Feng's affectionate gaze.
She no longer refused, simply turned her back, slowly lifted her hair, revealing her fair, slender neck.
This necklace was something Lin Feng had exchanged in the system store; it wasn't an ordinary necklace.
The pale green gemstone was a product of the Elven homeland.
It was an essence that formed only once a century from the Tree of Life.
Ordinary people would improve their physique from prolonged wear, and it also had the effect of clarifying the mind and calming the spirit.
This single necklace had cost Lin Feng 300,000 reputation points.
A bit expensive, but Lin Feng could afford it.
Lin Feng fastened the necklace on Susan.
Susan, already beautiful, now appeared even more ethereally and elegantly stunning.
Their eyes met involuntarily, conveying silent affection.
Until only each other's reflection remained in their pupils.
The two, experiencing their first love, were submerged in the ocean of roses.
The moon, at some point, shyly hid itself behind the clouds.
...
The night had deepened, and Lin Feng and Susan slept soundly in each other's embrace...
They slept soundly, but many others were unable to.
For instance... Nick Fury.
Nick Fury, with dark circles under his eyes, had just concluded a video conference.
The topic of the conference was the recent monster incident in New York.
Lin Feng's assumptions were correct; his information was on the desks of various powers before the night was over.
The strength he displayed was far too dangerous.
To beat the Abomination into outer space was a display of power that defied comprehension.
If Lin Feng hadn't been playing the role of a superhero in New York,
He might have been surrounded by the US government by now.
Based on Lin Feng's combat power and the analysis of his capabilities, he was likely a being surpassing Omega-level mutants.
During the meeting, regarding Lin Feng, Fury repeatedly urged a cautious approach.
Since Lin Feng was willing to act as a superhero in New York, it indicated a high probability of drawing him into their organization.
However, the other attendees, overly wary of Lin Feng's power, insisted
That Lin Feng's strength must be controlled by their side as soon as possible.
If it couldn't be controlled, they had to find a way to destroy him.
No matter how Fury explained, they seemed to be in league, refusing to budge.
Having no choice, Fury decided to retreat to advance, agreeing on the surface for now.
The entire meeting ended on an unpleasant note.
Fury returned to his office with a grim expression.
"Motherfucker!"
He slammed his palm on the desk, the sound echoing loudly.
Coulson was startled.
"Control him, how do we control him?"
"Have these people sat in their offices for too long, their brains gone numb!"
"Sir, your coffee, sir."
A logistics staff member nervously placed a cup of coffee down and retreated, head bowed.
The director when angry was too terrifying.
He took a sip of the coffee, but Fury still couldn't suppress his resentment.
The strength Lin Feng displayed was something even Captain America didn't possess.
Such immense power, as far as Fury knew, was currently only matched by Captain Marvel.
To call Fury back from space to control Lin Feng?
It made no sense. Lin Feng hadn't committed any wrongdoing; instead, he had continuously helped New York solve problems.
Lin Feng was consistently projecting a positive image.
The probability of successfully moving against Lin Feng was too low.
Would they have to use nuclear weapons to strike a superhero who was always saving people?
Did they think the American public was blind?
After pondering for a long time, Fury looked at Coulson.
"Coulson!"
"Tomorrow afternoon, accompany me to Lin Feng's villa!"
He had no intention of listening to those useless fools with clogged brains.
If it weren't for the need for funding, Fury would have long ago broken ties with them.
Similar incidents had happened more than once or twice.
He had his own plans for the Avengers initiative...
Simultaneously eyeing Lin Feng was Pierce, that old schemer.
At this moment, Fury was unaware that his S.H.I.E.L.D. was riddled with holes.
Pierce was also plotting how to bring Lin Feng into his faction.
Commands were issued one after another.
Hydra rapidly gathered data on Lin Feng and formulated a plan to recruit him.
Tony Stark was also up late.
After calling Lin Feng, Tony began analyzing Lin Feng's data.
He had previously mentioned testing Lin Feng's physical data but hadn't had the time.
Falling from space was one thing; being able to fly out of Earth on his own in a very short time
Was another matter entirely.
The gap in abilities between these two was not insignificant.
"Sir, Mr. Lin Feng's data profile has been created. Shall I upload it to the data center?"
"Store it on my personal server. No one is allowed to access it," Tony commanded.
Clearly, this was another sleepless night...
