Stakka pondered for a long time and extended five fingers.
"Five billion each!"
"Five gems, I'll take them all!"
Currently, the black market price for an Infinity Stone fluctuates between 3 to 6 billion.
Stakka felt he was being quite generous with this offer.
"You dare talk to me about money?" Lin Feng scoffed dismissively.
"Fifty billion?"
Lin Feng chuckled, then with a snap of his fingers, under Stakka's bewildered gaze.
The next second, Stakka's personal account was bombarded with notifications.
Stakka's expression changed. He pulled out his personal terminal, his eyes widening instantly.
He saw the balance in his account rapidly fluctuating.
His balance was skyrocketing at an unbelievable speed!
One second, one jump of five billion!
In just ten seconds, Stakka's account had surged by fifty billion.
"I am confused," Lin Feng snapped his fingers again, and the rapidly increasing numbers stopped.
As Lin Feng withdrew the energy supply from the Reality Stone.
The fifty billion in funds instantly vanished, as if it were a dream.
"I'm confused, haven't you even investigated the most basic information about the Infinity Stones?"
With the Infinity Stones, would Lin Feng ever lack money?
Even universal currency, Lin Feng could conjure as much as he wanted with a snap of his fingers.
Of course, he had only used the Reality Stone to manipulate Stakka's account, so it wasn't permanent. The money would disappear once the energy was withdrawn.
However, if Lin Feng had used all six Infinity Stones with his snap, the effect would have become permanent!
Clearly, Stakka knew the Infinity Stones were valuable, but he didn't realize they had transcended monetary value.
Stakka's face turned grim.
Lin Feng's actions validated a guess.
Just as the information stated, possessing the Infinity Stones allowed one to do as they pleased to a certain extent.
"Boss..."
Mo Ye stared blankly at the silent Stakka.
An instantaneous increase of fifty billion, followed by its disappearance, had left her stunned.
Fifty billion, how long would it take their entire team to earn that much while striving in the universe!
Stakka ignored Mo Ye. Lin Feng's performance had proven he was not lacking in money.
"I can help you do one thing!" Stakka changed his offer.
Since money wouldn't work, he would try another approach.
"One thing, for one Infinity Stone, how about that?"
"Anything at all?" Lin Feng asked, feigning interest.
"Anything! As long as it doesn't violate the Ravager's code."
Stakka decided that even if Lin Feng asked him to rob the Collector, he would try.
As he always said, facing Lin Feng, it was best to avoid a direct confrontation if possible.
Stakka trusted his instincts, which was the reason he had survived for so long as the leader of the Ravagers.
Caution, instinct!
"...No need."
Lin Feng leaned back lazily in his chair, showing little interest.
He didn't care about Stakka or his fleet's power.
The task entrusted to him by Superman's Silver Age counterpart was something ten Stakkas couldn't accomplish.
"Seriously, I'm in the Marvel universe, walking all over the place!"
If he wasn't in a good mood, Lin Feng wouldn't have bothered wasting so much time talking to Stakka.
This was just him giving face because Stakka looked like Sly Stallone.
Lin Feng's reply made Stakka's face darken.
"Are you sure you don't want to consider it?"
"Not considering it!" Lin Feng refused decisively.
"No room for negotiation?"
"No negotiation!"
...
An awkward silence fell over the room.
The negotiation had broken down...
For a moment, only the sound of their breathing could be heard.
"If there's nothing else, you can leave now!" Lin Feng broke the silence.
"Don't hold up my drinking!"
As he spoke, Lin Feng poured himself a large glass of blue liquid.
He had to admit, despite its strange color, it was indeed the most expensive drink in this alien bar.
The taste was excellent, and with every sip, Lin Feng was reminded of the alluring heart-shaped tail of the owner of the Xiu Xing bar.
He smacked his lips.
He really should have agreed to Xiu Xing's terms earlier and had a good feel of her tail...
Stakka took a deep breath and stood up.
There was no other way; Lin Feng was utterly intractable.
He didn't want money, nor would he accept other terms.
The only path left for Stakka seemed to be to resort to force!
"My fleet is parked just outside the planet!"
Stakka said in a low voice, his words laced with hostility.
"And so?" Lin Feng asked nonchalantly, swirling his glass.
"So! You'd better hand over the Infinity Stones immediately! Otherwise, the fleet's cannons will turn you into ashes!"
Before Stakka could finish, the Crystal Man next to him, unable to tolerate Lin Feng's consistently indifferent attitude, jumped out to threaten him.
"Fleet?"
"That's right. If possible, I'd like to resolve this peacefully!"
Stakka chimed in.
Lin Feng put down his drink, amused to the point of laughter.
"The Infinity Stones were found by me. They belong to me."
"Do you know what you sound like right now?"
"Like a bunch of robbers!"
Lin Feng waved his hand, conjuring a semi-transparent large screen.
On the screen, a cosmic fleet floated silently above a planet.
Its weapon systems were activated, aimed at the planet.
With just a command from Stakka, a barrage of fire would rain down on Lin Feng's location.
"Is this your fleet?"
Lin Feng sneered, his lips curled in a cold smile.
It looked terrifying, but to Lin Feng, they were merely oversized flying toys.
"You really came prepared!"
"If the fleet is your trump card!"
*Snap!*
Lin Feng snapped his fingers.
As a burst of red light illuminated the screen.
Stakka's fleet on the screen instantly disintegrated, turning into piles of rubble.
"So, what about it now?!" Lin Feng taunted without mercy.
The sudden turn of events made Stakka's pupils contract.
His face instantly turned ashen.
But he didn't react immediately.
Instead, he pressed his earpiece, trying to verify the authenticity of what he was seeing.
"Astro!"
"Astro! Answer me!"
Stakka kept calling, trying to contact his subordinates on the fleet.
"Charlie, Charlie!"
He cycled through several channels, personal and public, but received no response.
The scene before him was unbelievable.
After verification, the cruel truth hit him.
His fleet had vanished with a snap of Lin Feng's fingers!
Stakka was beside himself with rage.
He suddenly stood up, slammed his palm on the table, and his eyes blazed with killing intent.
Then, Stakka drew a firearm from his waist and pointed it at Lin Feng.
"You killed them all?!"
Mo Ye and the Crystal Man named Martin, seeing their former comrades disappear inexplicably.
They were filled with grief and indignation, and without thinking, they drew their own weapons and aimed them at Lin Feng, following Stakka.
Lin Feng waved his hand, and the next second, their firearms all transformed into large purple eggplants...
"How ridiculous!" Lin Feng's smile was mocking, but his eyes were as cold as glaciers.
"You're allowed to kill others, but others aren't allowed to fight back?"
