Hela's intentions were unknown. Ling Jili activated the fragments of the Heart of the Universe several times but still didn't see her.
However, Lin Feng didn't expect to get information so quickly.
At this moment, Lin Feng was sitting on the sofa, with four people who looked exactly like him in front of him.
Lin Feng touched his wristband and nodded at the four.
The clones shared the same thoughts as the main body. The four identical Lin Fengs instantly understood the main body's intentions and nodded in response.
All the clones changed into uniform black robes, obscuring their faces, and then disappeared from their positions.
These four clones were dispatched by Lin Feng to the locations of four unclaimed fragments of the Heart of the Universe.
Lin Feng's orders to them were to lie in wait, not to retrieve the fragments, but to hide nearby and wait for the prey to come to them.
He speculated that Hela and the man in black fog would soon set out to search for these unclaimed cosmic fragments, as it was the only way they could gain more confidence in dealing with Lin Feng.
He couldn't monitor the scenes all the time, so using clones was the best way he could think of to stake out the locations.
As soon as the clones acted, Lin Feng became even more relaxed.
Lin Feng's favorite activity used to be basking in the sun.
Now, while sunbathing, Lin Feng would also turn on the TV and watch live broadcasts of his good neighbor, Spider-Man.
Of course, it was a radio broadcast.
These daredevil reporters would rush to wherever disasters and battles occurred as soon as possible.
Little Spider was entrusted with such great expectations that he naturally appeared on television frequently.
To be honest, Little Spider's way of handling things was still a bit comical, and he never forgot to chide his opponents during every fight.
Lin Feng found it very amusing.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's ears twitched.
He heard a car screech to a halt in front of his villa.
Turning his gaze towards the entrance, Lin Feng's eyebrows subtly rose.
"Black Widow?"
She stepped out of a car with Stark Industries plates and rang the doorbell.
At this time, Susan and Wanda had already gone to work, and Ling Jili and Martina had gone to school.
What was she looking for him for?
Lin Feng found it a bit strange but still got up and walked to the door.
"Widow... Natasha?"
"Lin Feng, long time no see," Natasha greeted him with a smile.
"Ah, yes..." Lin Feng chuckled.
It wasn't that long ago, he had seen her at Tony's symbiote training base.
"Do you have time to chat?" Natasha didn't intend to enter, stating this at the doorstep.
"Chat?" Lin Feng hesitated whether to refuse.
"Yes, I have something I need your help with."
"You probably haven't had lunch yet, have you? Let me treat you," Natasha extended an invitation.
Seeing Lin Feng's hesitation, Natasha added, "It's serious business."
As she spoke, she opened the passenger door for Lin Feng.
Although she was no longer with S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha was well aware of Lin Feng's personal profile.
Strong, confident, and unable to refuse the invitations of beautiful women... well, invitations.
Indeed, after Natasha opened the car door, Lin Feng, after a moment of hesitation, got in.
Since Susan and Wanda wouldn't be back for lunch, and Ling Jili and Martina would be having lunch at school.
If he were alone, he'd have to cook for himself.
Besides, Natasha genuinely looked like she had something serious to discuss; otherwise, she could have just called him to meet outside instead of coming all the way here.
Natasha herself got into the driver's seat, a captivating smile gracing her lips, and started the car.
Paired with her figure and face, few men could refuse such a beauty.
"How about we go for seafood?" Natasha asked for Lin Feng's opinion as the car merged onto the road.
Her personal profile was very detailed, and all of Lin Feng's assumptions and preferences were recorded.
Even Lin Feng's liking for seafood was documented.
"Seafood... How about steak instead?"
Lin Feng chose steak.
He did like seafood, but he mostly ate it with Susan.
Going out for seafood alone with another woman? Just the thought of it made him feel guilty towards Susan, as if he were doing something to betray her.
This feeling was inexplicable. Perhaps Lin Feng didn't realize that he had categorized eating seafood together as something exclusive to Susan.
It was because their times eating seafood together were the happiest.
Perhaps this was a peculiar stubbornness of a foodie; the things they loved most were only enjoyable when shared with the people they loved most.
"Okay, whatever you say!" Natasha was fine with anything, and if Lin Feng wanted steak, they would have steak.
She wasn't particularly picky about her own taste, but as a competent intelligence agent, Natasha knew of many highly-rated steak restaurants.
Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
The atmosphere inside the restaurant was quiet, with only the faint clinking of cutlery against porcelain and the soft murmurs of diners.
They chose a window seat and sat down.
After casually ordering some dishes, Natasha struck up a conversation with Lin Feng.
During their chat, Natasha seemed very interested in Lin Feng's exploits in the universe.
These were not things Lin Feng needed to keep secret, so he casually shared some trivial details, engaging in banter with Natasha.
Lin Feng could tell Natasha had something on her mind, but since she didn't bring it up first, Lin Feng didn't proactively broach the subject.
After they finished their steaks, Natasha took Lin Feng to a coffee shop.
On Natasha's delicate little face, she repeatedly showed expressions of wanting to speak but hesitating, making Lin Feng anxious for her.
Boredly stirring his coffee with a spoon, Lin Feng finally couldn't bear it any longer.
"Alright, alright, just say what's on your mind directly,"
In the end, it was Lin Feng who initiated the conversation.
The main reason was that Natasha was really good at playing mind games.
Her skilled social techniques, while not making for awkward conversation, were clearly affected by her being preoccupied with something.
Natasha smiled and stirred the coffee in her hand.
"A while ago, about five hundred female symbiote legionnaires disappeared."
"I didn't have clearance to inquire about this matter, but Tony still told me that it was related to you."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Tony would tell Natasha this.
"So?"
Natasha pursed her lips. "You should know that Tony has already initiated some plans to travel to the universe..."
"This news is no longer a secret."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.... Nick Fury's side also has suspicions."
"To be honest, I originally wanted Tony to take me with him to the universe, but he told me that you might have a more suitable place for me..."
