Those like Tony and Lin Feng belonged to the highest echelon of connections.
Lin Feng's movements and whereabouts were known within certain elite circles, though the primary source of information came from Tony's deliberate leaks.
This wasn't to harm Lin Feng, but rather to subtly inform them of the sheer power of Superman, urging anyone considering trouble for Lin Feng to first assess their own survival prospects.
After all, while Lin Feng was saving people from disasters, he was also infringing upon the interests of some.
Though Lin Feng himself was fearless, fewer troubles were always better, as too many could affect one's mood.
Tony's actions were indeed appropriate.
Previously, they had considered Lin Feng a mere brute with no brains. After all, the adult world wasn't resolved solely by force; often, brute strength was the most rudimentary tool.
But they had forgotten the Eastern saying, "One force conquers ten skills." The stunt Lin Feng pulled at the Gray Palace had left them utterly dumbfounded.
He not only embarrassed the Secretary of State and another prominent figure but also directly halted the signing of preliminary agreements by over a hundred kingdoms. Moreover, afterward, no one dared to seek trouble with Lin Feng.
Tony had revealed some vague details about this incident. While they didn't know the specifics, the fact that those two individuals, known for holding grudges, did not retaliate made them understand: when confronting ordinary people, even with all the resources of Blue Star at their disposal, it was useless against Superman.
In this event, they saw one thing clearly: fostering a good relationship with Superman was akin to having an extra life!
Furthermore, Tony hadn't intentionally concealed the fact that some of Stark's technological advancements originated from Superman.
After a lengthy, rambling conversation, the men subtly hinted at their desire for Lin Feng to authorize the release of some technology, leaving Lin Feng bewildered.
However, Lin Feng quickly understood their intentions, yet he feigned ignorance and silently refused.
Seeing Lin Feng's reticence, the men chatted a bit longer and then dispersed, knowing when to stop.
Their first meeting was merely about making an acquaintance.
Those who had reached their status were all exceptionally shrewd, naturally understanding the principle of not overdoing things.
Among them, the Secretary of State was the first to flee. At this point, he had no inclination to ask Tony for technology; merely keeping his life was a blessing!
That old man hadn't emerged from his trauma yet.
Watching the Secretary of State practically flee in panic, Lin Feng gave a self-deprecating smile.
"I'll be damned...
So all this time without action was to fleece me?
Too lazy to bicker with Tony, Lin Feng waved his hand and retrieved a bottle of wine from his spatial storage.
Tony took it readily, poured himself a full glass, and casually asked, "Little Morgan's birthday is coming up. What gift have you prepared?"
Lin Feng found it both amusing and exasperating. He was certain Tony was genuinely trying to fleece him.
If he recalled correctly, Tony had used Little Morgan as an excuse to get a necklace last time, hadn't he?
"How about this: if I have a son with Susan, I'll give you a son-in-law?" Lin Feng's eyes twinkled, and he launched a counter-offensive.
Tony raised an eyebrow, a question mark hanging over his face, but he showed no outward emotion. Then, as if struck by an idea, he chuckled.
"That sounds perfect! Little Morgan can wait!"
"Why don't we arrange an engagement now? Don't you have that thing called 'childhood betrothal' in the East?"
"By the way, I recall that in the East, you need to give betrothal gifts to get married, right? What are you planning to give? I can accept it on Little Morgan's behalf."
...
Lin Feng didn't know how to react.
Fine, when it came to shamelessness, Tony was indeed superior. Tony's thick skin was on par with Superman's invulnerability!
He waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it. Susan and I aren't planning to have children this early..."
The future happiness of their children should be fought for by themselves. Besides, he didn't even know if his future children would be boys or girls.
Hmm... hopefully twins, a boy and a girl!
