Chapter 26
Following behind Lin Tian were the Maximoff siblings.
Pietro was wearing a borrowed suit and looked a little uncomfortable, but his eyes were still sharp, scanning his surroundings vigilantly.
Wanda, on the other hand, wore a simple yet elegant black cocktail dress that Lin Tian had chosen for her.
With a touch of makeup, she shed her previous paleness and immaturity, revealing a fresh, ethereal beauty with a hint of mysterious danger.
She stayed close to Lin Tian, her eyes filled with reliance and… possessiveness.
Especially when she saw the fervent gazes of the women in the banquet hall directed at Lin Tian, her small face instantly fell, and a chilling aura that seemed to drop the surrounding temperature by a few degrees subtly emanated from her!
"Welcome to Stark Tower!" Tony Stark was the first to greet him, a warm smile on his face, extending his hand. "Presumably, this is Mr. Lin Tian? I've heard much about you!"
"Mr. Stark is too kind." Lin Tian smiled, shaking Stark's hand. It seemed casual, but his fingertips held a subtle, undetectable force.
Two equally proud, equally powerful men engaged in a silent contest the moment their hands met!
Stark felt an overwhelming, irresistible force from the other man's hand, making his palm tingle slightly! His heart was filled with shock!
Such powerful strength! This guy is indeed not simple!
Lin Tian, on the other hand, felt the faint energy residue in Stark's hand, left from years of wearing the Iron Man armor, and a deeply hidden, special fluctuation belonging to the Arc Reactor.
"This beautiful lady must be Miss Pepper Potts?" Lin Tianreleased his hand, turning to Pepper, a charming smile on his face. He even very gentlemanly took Pepper's hand and gently kissed the back of it. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Potts. You are even more charming in person than in magazines."
Pepper was caught off guard by Lin Tian's sudden gentlemanly gesture and… almost perfect looks. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously said, "Thank you… Mr. Lin is also very handsome."
Standing nearby, Stark saw this scene, and the smile on his face instantly froze!
Damn it! This guy is hitting on my girl right in front of me?!
A surge of nameless Fire instantly welled up in Stark's heart!
Natasha, mingling in the crowd, also felt a strange displeasure when she saw Lin Tian kiss Pepper's hand!
This scoundrel! Flirting with me then going to flirt with someone else?!
Wanda's small face turned even paler with anger! She wished she could rush over immediately and tear that irritating woman to shreds with Chaos Magic!
For a moment, the atmosphere of the banquet hall, due to Lin Tian's small gesture, became even more peculiar and fraught with undercurrents.
Only Lin Tian himself seemed completely oblivious, still smiling warmly, enjoying being the center of attention.
Tonight's banquet seems even more interesting than he imagined… New book release, please collect, give flowers, evaluate, and everything!

Chapter 43: Verbal Confrontation, Each with Their Own Schemes
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Stark led Lin Tianand his group to a relatively quiet corner of the banquet hall.
Comfortable sofas and coffee tables were arranged here, and Jarvis thoughtfully provided a variety of exquisite snacks and drinks.
Pepper had company matters to attend to, so after a few brief words, she left first, which made both Stark and Natasha secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, in this small corner, only Lin Tian, Wanda, Pietro, Stark, Natasha, and… Hawkeye Barton, disguised as a waiter, remained.
As for Captain America, he was still patrolling nearby, constantly monitoring the goings-on here.
"Mr. Lin," Stark broke the silence first, raising his wine glass, a false smile on his face, "First, I offer my sincere apologies for the misfortune my company's products brought to the Maximoff siblings earlier."
He spoke words of apology, but his tone lacked any sincerity, instead carrying a condescending air of charity.
Wanda and Pietro's faces instantly turned cold upon hearing this, their eyes filled with hatred!
Especially Wanda, the Chaos energy around her began to fluctuate uncontrollably again!
Lin Tian gently patted Wanda's hand, signaling her to calm down.
Then, he looked at Stark, still smiling, but his tone became somewhat playful: "Mr. Stark's 'apology' has been received. However… a verbal apology alone doesn't seem quite enough, does it?"
Stark raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Then what does Mr. Linconsider enough?"
"It's simple," Lin Tian extended three fingers, "First, publicly acknowledge Stark Industries' responsibility in the Sokovia incident and compensate all victims."
"Second," he paused, his gaze sweeping over the Arc Reactor on Stark's chest, "Stop all weapon research and production. Mr. Stark is so intelligent, he should use his talents in more meaningful ways, shouldn't he?"
"As for the third…" Lin Tian's smile became even more meaningful, "Perhaps… Mr. Stark could consider sharing the core code of your artificial intelligence 'Jarvis'… to let it serve all humanity?"
The three conditions Lin Tian proposed were each more demanding than the last!
The first condition harmed Stark Industries' reputation and interests.
The second condition was tantamount to taking half of Stark's life.
The third condition directly touched upon Stark's most core technical secrets!
After listening, the smile on Stark's face completely vanished, replaced by coldness and… anger!
"Mr. Lin, are you blackmailing me?" Stark's voice turned cold.
"Blackmail? No, no, no," Lin Tian shook his head, "I'm just offering some reasonable'suggestions'. After all, compared to the parents and homeland the Maximoff siblings lost, what do these amount to?"
His tone remained calm, yet it carried an undeniable assertiveness!
Natasha and Hawkeye listened, their hearts pounding!
This Lin Tian… he's too bold! How dare he so blatantly threaten Stark on his own turf?!
Is he truly fearless? Or does he have another agenda?
"Mr. Lin, you seem very confident in yourself?" A cold glint flashed in Stark's eyes, and his finger, resting on the sofa armrest, moved slightly, as if… activating some device?
Lin Tian seemed oblivious, simply picked up the red wine in front of him, took a small sip, and then… smiled.
"Confidence is built upon strength, Mr. Stark." He put down the wine glass, his gaze calmly meeting Stark's, "Just like those little toys you're secretly activating, hidden in the walls."
What?!
Stark's face changed dramatically!
How did he know?!
He actually detected that he had activated the emergency defense system?!
At this moment, Stark's last trace of hope and underestimation completely vanished! Replaced by deep apprehension and a hint of fear!
This man is too terrifying!
Natasha and Hawkeye were also shocked!
They didn't even know Stark had secretly activated the defense system! Lin Tian actually… The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense! As if the air itself was about to freeze!
Wanda and Pietro also felt the tense atmosphere, their bodies taut, ready to act at any moment!
Just as a battle was about to erupt!
Lin Tian suddenly laughed.
"Heh heh… Just a joke, Mr. Stark, why so tense?" He waved his hand, the assertiveness and coldness on his face disappearing, returning to his lazy and playful smile, "We're all… 'friends', after all, let's talk things over nicely."
He looked at Wanda and Pietro: "What do you say?"
Although Wanda didn't understand why Lin Tian had suddenly changed his attitude, she still nodded obediently.
Pietro, however, frowned and remained silent.
Stark looked at Lin Tian, whose expression changed faster than flipping a book, and for a moment, he was a bit bewildered.
What exactly does this guy want to do?
Slap him, then offer a sweet treat?
"Alright," Stark suppressed the anger and apprehension in his heart, forcing a smile, "Since we're 'friends', then the conditions… can they be re-negotiated?"
He decided to stabilize Lin Tian first, then plan for the long term.
"Of course, they can be negotiated." Lin Tian nodded very "agreeably," "Compensation is a must. As for stopping weapon research… well, perhaps Mr. Stark could consider… shifting focus to clean energy and artificial intelligence? This would be more beneficial for World peace…"
He completely avoided mentioning sharing Jarvis's core code, as if he had only said it casually earlier.
Stark's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this.
Clean energy… artificial intelligence… these were indeed his future development directions.
Could it be… that this Lin Tian truly only wanted to… guide him towards the "right path"?
This thought had barely surfaced before Stark himself rejected it.
Impossible! This guy definitely has ill intentions!
But on the surface, he still showed a "thoughtful" expression: "Hmm… Mr. Lin's suggestions… are very constructive. I will… seriously consider them."
"That's good." Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction, then stood up, "It's getting late, we should take our leave. I hope next time we meet, we can have… a more pleasant exchange."
He glanced at Natasha, a hint of ambiguous amusement in his eyes: "Natasha, escort us out?"
Natasha was startled, then quickly reacted, standing up hastily: "Alright… alright."
Lin Tian, with Wanda and Pietro, walked towards the elevator, "accompanied" by Natasha.
Stark watched their retreating backs, his eyes terrifyingly gloomy.
"Jarvis!" he commanded in a low voice, "Analyze all of Lin Tian's micro-expressions and physiological data from earlier! I want to know what he's really thinking!"
"Yes, sir."
Hawkeye also walked over, his face grave: "Tony, this guy… is too dangerous. We must find a way to deal with him!"
"I know!" Stark waved his hand irritably, "But… before he shows his true fangs, we can't act rashly."
He had a hunch that the seemingly harsh conditions Lin Tian had proposed earlier were perhaps… just a front.
What was his true goal…?
This so-called "Hongmen Banquet" ultimately ended in a strange yet harmonious atmosphere.
But everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
Lin Tian, this pebble thrown into New York, had already stirred up ripples, and a bigger storm was quietly brewing… New book release, please collect, give flowers, evaluate, and everything!
Free flowers, evaluation, monthly votes, comments, likes, I beg for as many as possible!

Chapter 44: Elevator Seduction, Natasha Softens
Inside the private elevator, the smooth metal walls reflected the figures of the four people.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Pietro still maintained a wary and cautious demeanor, keeping his distance from Lin Tian.
Wanda, on the other hand, stood tightly pressed against Lin Tian, her small hand even… secretly hooking his pinky finger, her gaze at Natasha filled with a possessive… hostility and a hint of smugness.
Natasha felt uncomfortable under Wanda's hostile gaze, and thinking back to Lin Tian's words in the living room, "You and Natasha are different," her heart was a mix of emotions.
She secretly glanced at Lin Tian beside her.
His face still held that lazy and playful smile, as if completely unaware of the silent "smokeless war" between the two women beside him.
Or rather… he was actually enjoying it?
This scoundrel!
Natasha cursed inwardly, yet couldn't help but feel a little… restless.
Chapter 27
The elevator descended smoothly.
Within the confined space, the unique, heart-stirring scent of Lin Tian permeated the air.
Coupled with Wanda's hostile gaze beside them, Natashafelt her cheeks begin to flush again.
Just then, Lin Tian suddenly moved.
He took a step closer to Natasha, seemingly unintentionally.
The distance between them instantly shortened!
Natasha could even feel the warmth radiating from Lin Tian's arm!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively wanted to retreat, but found that... the elevator space was so small, she had nowhere to go!
Moreover, Lin Tian seemed to be subtly, almost imperceptibly, brushing her arm with his?
This action was extremely covert, extremely... ambiguous!
Natasha's body instantly tensed!
A strange current shot up from where their arms touched, quickly spreading throughout her body, making her feel a tingling numbness!
She sharply turned her head to look at Lin Tian, wanting to warn him with her eyes!
But she found that... Lin Tian wasn't looking at her at all!
He was tilting his head, smiling and talking to Wanda, as if the ambiguous 'little action' just now was merely an accidental touch.
However... Wanda's increasingly cold expression, and her almost fiery gaze directed at Natasha, clearly indicated that she had noticed it too!
This scoundrel!
How could he... secretly'seduce' me... right in front of Wanda?!
Natasha was both embarrassed and angry, feeling like she was about to explode!
But at the same time... deep down, there was actually... a secret, delighted feeling of being 'favored'?
This contradictory and stimulating sensation threw her mind into chaos!
Lin Tian seemed to find it not'stimulating' enough.
While continuing to talk to Wanda, soothing the young girl's emotions, he... subtly moved his finger.
An extremely faint Harmony True Qi, perceptible only to him and Natasha, like a tiny electric current, silently passed through the point of contact between their arms and entered Natasha's body!
'Mmm...' Natasha was caught off guard, and an extremely faint, suppressed moan involuntarily escaped her throat!
Her body instantly went limp, and she almost couldn't stand!
That familiar, intoxicating, strange energy once again swept through her entire being!
And... this time, it seemed... even stronger?!
She quickly bit her lip, preventing herself from making a more shameful sound!
She glared fiercely at Lin Tian, her eyes filled with shame, indignation, and a hint of pleading?
Begging him to stop!
Lin Tian met her watery eyes, filled with shame, indignation, and entreaty, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Not only did he not stop, but he... increased the flow of Harmony True Qi!
At the same time, his fingers also began to... misbehave.
Gently, on the inside of Natasha's arm... sliding... 'Ugh...' Natasha could no longer hold back and was about to collapse to the ground!
Fortunately... the elevator arrived!
Ding—
The elevator doors opened.
Lin Tian also timely withdrew his Harmony True Qi and... his mischievous fingers.
But his arm, in a smooth motion, wrapped around Natasha's soft waist, half-hugging, half-supporting her out of the elevator.
To an outsider, it looked as if... Natasha was feeling unwell, and Lin Tian was thoughtfully taking care of her.
'Mr. Lin, Miss Maximoff, Mr. Maximoff, please take care.' The security guard at the door respectfully said.
'Thank you.' Lin Tian smiled and nodded, holding Natasha, who was almost completely limp and had to lean her weight on him, as he walked out of Stark Tower.
Wanda and Pietro followed behind.
Pietro looked utterly bewildered, not knowing what had happened in the elevator just now, why the red-haired Agent suddenly seemed... unable to stand steadily?
As for Wanda, her face was ashen with anger! Her silver teeth were almost ground to dust!
Although she hadn't clearly seen Lin Tian's subtle movements, Natasha's sudden limpness and the abnormal flush on her face... how could she not have noticed?!
Lin! How could he... right in front of me... with that woman... Wanda felt her heart shattering!
A wild urge to destroy everything surged within her!
...It wasn't until they got into a black car that Lin Tian had somehow procured, and drove away from Stark Tower, that Natasha finally began to recover.
She pushed Lin Tian away, shrinking into the corner of the passenger seat, glaring at him with shame and anger, unable to utter a word.
What happened in the elevator just now... was simply the most... shameful experience of her life!
Lin Tian, however, acted as if nothing had happened, driving the car and asking, 'Where to next? Back to your safe house?'
'No... no need!' Natasha immediately refused, 'Just drop me off anywhere!'
She just wanted to get away from this devil immediately!
'Oh? Is that so?' Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, 'I thought... you might want to... spend a little more time with me?'
His tone was full of innuendo.
Natasha's cheeks flushed again, and she bit her lip, turning her head away, not looking at him.
Lin Tian looked at her tsundere and slightly aggrieved expression, chuckled, and didn't tease her further.
The car drove smoothly through the night.
In the back seat, Wanda remained silent, radiating a low pressure that kept people at bay.
Pietro was stuck in the middle, feeling completely uncomfortable.
Lin Tian took all of this in through the rearview mirror, silently calculating.
It seems... he needed to give Wanda some 'compensation'.
Otherwise, if this little jar of vinegar (vinegar) overturned and she really lost control, that would be a big problem.
Coincidentally... he already had the next 'target' in mind.
A... new'sister' who might distract Wanda's 'attention' a little?
His gaze turned in a certain direction—Queens.
His 'first Dao Companion', Gwen Stacy, who also possessed spider powers.
Was it time... for them to meet?
...New book released, please collect, give fresh flowers, leave reviews, and everything else!
Free flowers, reviews, monthly tickets, comments, and likes are all desperately sought after, the more the merrier!
These statistics are very important during the new book period, so I humbly ask the Yanzus to move their lucky little hands.
I also hope everyone won't be stingy with their reminder votes, although the author isn't fast, just try casting them and see what happens!
Chapter 45: Queen's Arrival? No, It's a Shuraba (Slaughterhouse)
In the end, Lin Tian kindly drove Natasha back near her safe house.
Before she got out of the car, he gave Natasha a lingering, passionate kiss, only then letting her leave.
Watching Natasha's retreating figure disappear into the night as if she were fleeing, the smile on Lin Tian's lips grew even more wicked.
Having dealt with this biggest 'trouble', next... it was time to handle the'small flame' in his backyard.
He turned to look at the back seat; sure enough, Wanda's little face was still gloomy, her eyes looking at him with resentment, as if silently accusing him of being a philanderer.
'Still angry?' Lin Tian asked knowingly, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence.
Wanda turned her head, ignoring him.
'Alright, alright,' Lin Tian chuckled helplessly, 'It's my fault, I shouldn't have... been so intimate with her in front of you.'
He reached out, wanting to take Wanda's hand.
Wanda struggled symbolically for a moment, but ultimately... allowed him to hold her small hand.
'But you need to know,' Lin Tian squeezed her hand, his tone becoming serious, 'Natasha has a very important 'role' for me. She is a core member of the Avengers, and through her, we can better understand our enemies, and even... influence their decisions.'
'So... sometimes, I need to... use some special 'methods' to get closer to her. This is all... for our common goal, understand?'
Lin Tian began to talk nonsense with a straight face, trying to rationalize his 'philanderous' behavior as 'for the great cause of revenge'.
Wanda listened to Lin Tian's 'explanation'; although she still felt a bit uncomfortable, she... seemed... to understand?
After all, Lin was doing all this to help them get revenge, wasn't he?
And... Lin also said that Natasha only had a 'role', while she herself... was 'unique'.
Thinking of this, most of the anger in Wanda's heart dissipated, and she clasped Lin Tian's hand in return, whispering, 'Mmm... I understand. But... can you... not do that in front of me... in the future?'
'Okay, okay, okay,' Lin Tian immediately raised his hands in surrender, 'I'll definitely be careful in the future.'
Watching the young girl finally 'clear up' after the 'rain', Lin Tian chuckled inwardly.
Little girl, still too naive.
However... verbal appeasement alone wasn't enough.
He also needed... actual action.
'Come on,' Lin Tian started the car, 'I'm taking you to meet someone.'
'Meet who?' Wanda asked curiously.
'A girl... who is very similar to you.' Lin Tian smiled mysteriously, 'Perhaps... you two will become good friends?'
...Queens, below Gwen Stacy's apartment building.
When Lin Tian arrived here with Wanda and Pietro, it was already late at night.
'This is...' Wanda looked at the ordinary apartment building in front of her, a little puzzled.
'I used to... live here.' Lin Tian explained, then looked up at one of the lit windows, 'The person I want you to meet lives there.'
He didn't ring the doorbell, but instead, directly led Wandaand Pietro, like ghosts, silently passing through the wall and entering the apartment building.
Although Pietro and Wanda had already witnessed many of Lin Tian's incredible abilities, this direct wall-penetrating maneuver still shocked them again.
Inside the apartment.
Gwen Stacy had just finished her 'night patrol' for the evening, and was sitting at her desk in comfortable pajamas, researching how to improve her web-shooters.
She hadn't seen Lin Tian since the Green Goblin incident.
Although Lin Tian would occasionally text her, checking on her, and even... teasing her with some ambiguous language.
But... not seeing him in person, Gwen always felt an emptiness in her heart.
She really wanted to find Lin Tian, but she didn't know where he was, and even less... whether he was with other women.
Especially... Natasha Romanoff's appearance last time had always bothered her.
Chapter 28
Just as Gwen was lost in thought, she suddenly felt... someone behind her?!
Her Spider-Sense instantly blared!
She spun around, adopting a combat stance!
Then... she saw... Lin Tian!
And... standing behind him, a beautiful red-haired girl and a silver-haired youth?!
"Lin?!" Gwen was both surprised and delighted, then she saw Wanda and Pietro, and the smile on her face instantly froze. Her eyes became wary, "Who are they?! How could you..."
"Gwen, don't be nervous." Lin Tian walked forward with a smile, naturally reaching out his hand, wanting to stroke her hair as he used to.
But Gwen... subconsciously took a step back, avoiding his hand!
Lin Tian's smile faltered slightly.
And Wanda, standing behind him, seeing Gwen's obvious familiarity with Lin Tian, and recalling Lin Tian's earlier words about "a girl very much like you," and... that this was Lin Tian's "old residence"... Wanda instantly understood!
This blonde girl... was probably... also Lin's woman?! And... it seemed... she was from before he met her?!
An even stronger surge of jealousy and... anger instantly welled up in Wanda's heart!
Good heavens, Lin!
Not only are you flirting with that red-haired Agentoutside!
You even... have such a blonde little lover hidden away?!
What do you take me for?!
Wanda felt like she was about to explode with rage! The Chaos Energy around her once again began to surge wildly! Dangerous red arcs of electricity permeated the air!
"Lin! Who is she?!" Wanda's voice was as cold as the Siberian wind, her eyes fixed on Gwen, filled with hostility and murderous intent!
Gwen was also startled by the terrifying aura emanating from Wanda!
This red-haired girl... is so strong! And... the way she looks at her... it's as if she wants to devour her!
What exactly is her relationship with Lin?!
Gwen subconsciously looked at Lin Tian, her eyes full of questions and... a hint of imperceptible grievance.
Pietro watched this sudden "Shura Field" from the side, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
He knew it... following this Lin fellow would never lead to anything good!
Look at this! How many days has it been?! He's already... Pietro suddenly felt that his path to revenge... seemed... a bit uncertain.
And Lin Tian, standing between two equally beautiful and equally powerful girls, both secretly infatuated with him, felt the gunpowder in the air, almost solidifying... a look of... immense pleasure appeared on his face.
Hmm... Shura Fields... are the most interesting!
...New book released, please collect, please give flowers, please evaluate, please give everything!
Free flowers and evaluation monthly tickets, comments, likes, we humbly ask for as many as possible!
These statistics are very important during the new book period, we humbly ask all Yanzu to move their lucky little hands.
I also hope everyone won't be stingy with Update Ticket(reminders for updates), although the author's typing speed isn't fast, just try casting some and see what happens!.
Chapter 46: Queens' Confrontation, Harem Shura Field and Strength Test
Inside Gwen's apartment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Wanda was surrounded by faint red Chaos Energy, like a volcano about to erupt, her eyes coldly fixed on Gwen, as if she would tear her apart in the next second.
Gwen was not to be outdone; although the energy emanating from the other party made her heart palpitate, her spider instincts and possessiveness towards Lin Tianmade her straighten her back, warily glaring back at Wanda.
Pietro, being sensible, retreated to the corner, trying to minimize his presence, so as not to be caught in this terrifying "Queen's War."
Lin Tian stood between the two girls, still wearing that playful smile of someone who enjoys watching a spectacle.
"Let me introduce," he said to Gwen with a smile, as if completely oblivious to the gunpowder in the air, "This is Wanda, my... student. The one next to her is her brother, Pietro."
Then, he turned to Wanda: "This is Gwen, my former... neighbor, and also a very talented friend."
Student? Neighbor? Friend?
This vague and suggestive introduction not only failed to ease the atmosphere but intensified the suspicion and hostility in the hearts of the two girls!
Wanda thought: Hmph! Neighbor? Friend? I think she's more like a little lover! Lin even brought me to meet her! Does he want me to acknowledge her status? Never!
Gwen, on the other hand, thought: Student? I think she was tricked by him! This red-haired girl doesn't look old, yet she has such strong power! How many things is Lin still hiding from me? What does he take me for? A backup plan?
The eyes of the two girls collided in the air, sparking intense fireworks!
"Hello, 'neighbor' Miss." Wanda spoke first, her tone cold, with a clear hint of provocation, looking at Gwen, "I am Wanda Maximoff. Lin's... special student."
She deliberately emphasized the word "special."
"Hello,'special student'." Gwen retorted without weakness, a fake smile on her lips, "I am Gwen Stacy. Lin's... good friend."
She also emphasized the words "good friend."
The gunpowder in the air grew thicker.
Lin Tian watched with great interest from the side.
Hmm, not bad, not bad, there's potential. Maybe I can consider forming an "Avengeresses" in the future?
"Alright, alright," Lin Tian pretended to mediate, "We are all friends, so don't be so tense."
He walked to Wanda's side, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and softly said, "Wanda, I brought you to meet Gwen because I thought you two might be able to learn from each other and make progress together. Although Gwen hasn't had her powers for long, her combat intuition and adaptability are very strong."
Then, he walked to Gwen's side and whispered in her ear, "Gwen, don't let Wanda's young age fool you; the power within her is unimaginably strong. If you can learn some energy control techniques from her, it will be of great help to you in the future..."
Lin Tian's seemingly "kind" matchmaking was actually secretly fanning the flames!
He deliberately showed his "admiration" and "preference" for the other in front of both of them, precisely to ignite their competitive spirit and jealousy!
Sure enough!
Hearing Lin Tian praise Gwen, Wanda's little face grew even colder! She thought to herself: Hmph! Combat intuition? Can it be stronger than my Chaos Magic? Lin actually wants me to learn from her?
And Gwen, hearing Lin Tian say that Wanda's power was "unimaginably strong," and recalling the terrifying aura she had just felt, her heart also tightened, and at the same time... a surge of unwillingness to admit defeat arose!
Why should she receive such high praise from Lin? I'm not bad either!
The two girls looked at each other with eyes full of fighting spirit!
"Since Lin said so," Wanda suddenly spoke, a provocative arc curving on her lips as she looked at Gwen, "How about... we have a'spar'? Let me see, how much strength does Lin's 'good friend' really have?"
She wanted to give this blonde girl a warning! To let her know who was the strongest woman by Lin's side!
Linglong 781066848
"Alright!" Gwen agreed without hesitation! She also wanted to test the depth of this red-haired girl! And even more, she wanted to prove herself in front of Lin Tian! "Anytime!"
"Don't fight here," Lin Tian immediately "kindly" stopped them, a "worried" expression on his face, "It's too small here; you can't really let loose. And... it wouldn't be good to break anything."
He thought for a moment and suggested, "I know there's an abandoned warehouse district nearby. It's big enough, and no one will disturb us. How about... we go there?"
Abandoned warehouse district?
The two girls exchanged glances, and both saw... raging battle in each other's eyes!
"Good!" They both agreed in unison!
Lin Tian looked at the tense, explosive scene, his heart blooming with joy.
Plan successful!
Letting them fight will not only let them vent their emotions, but also allow them to better understand each other's strength, and even... enhance their "sisterly bond"?
Most importantly, he could stand by and enjoy this exciting "Queen's Battle"!
"Pietro," Lin Tian looked at Quicksilver in the corner, "You come along too. It'll be a good opportunity... for you to witness a true power showdown."
Pietro's mouth twitched, but he finally nodded. He was also very curious who would be stronger between these two girls favored by Lin Tian.
Thus, the four, like ghosts, left Gwen's apartment again, heading towards the abandoned warehouse district 3717, where the "good show" was about to unfold, lurking away to group ①⑦⑨⑥0③7⑨②.
A "harem" Shura Field and strength test, personally directed by Lin Tian, was about to begin!.
Chapter 47: Battle of the Queens, Chaos VS Spider Silk
Outskirts of New York City, abandoned warehouse district.
On the desolate ground, the moonlight was dim, and abandoned containers and dilapidated factory buildings cast huge shadows, creating a bleak and oppressive atmosphere.
Gwen and Wanda stood facing each other from a distance, the air between them seemingly solidified.
Gwen wore her black and white "Ghost Spider" battle suit, with her mask on, revealing only a pair of cold and sharp eyes.
After multiple "in-depth guidances" and practical training from Lin Tian, her control over her spider abilities became increasingly proficient. At this moment, her entire body exuded a nimble and dangerous aura.
Wanda, still wearing her black cocktail dress, floated half a meter off the ground with bare feet. Faint red Chaos Energy, visible to the naked eye, swirled around her, her eyes cold, like a queen looking down from above at the "challenger" on the ground.
Lin Tian, with his arms crossed, leaned leisurely against an abandoned container, a look of keen interest on his face, ready to enjoy this "performance."
Pietro stood not far from Lin Tian, his expression complex.
"Are you ready?" Wanda spoke first, her voice cold and devoid of emotion.
"Ready anytime!" Gwen said in a low voice, her body slightly crouched like a cheetah poised to strike.
As soon as her voice fell!
A red light flashed in Wanda's eyes!
Without any flashy movements, a massive wave of telekinetic force instantly struck Gwen like an invisible giant hammer!
Its speed and scope far exceeded the reaction limits of ordinary people!
However!
Just as the telekinetic force was about to hit Gwen!
Her Spider-Sense gave an early warning!
Gwen's body moved sideways at an incredible angle, as if weightless, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow!
Boom!!!
The telekinetic force slammed into the ground where Gwenhad just stood, instantly creating a huge crater in the hard concrete! Debris scattered!
Such powerful strength!
Gwen's heart tightened! This red-haired girl's power was even more terrifying than she had imagined! It was almost like... a humanoid Gundam!
QQ Group
She dared not delay and immediately launched a counterattack!
With a flick of her wrist, two thick streams of spider silk shot out like white long whips, cutting through the air, lightning-fast, towards Wanda, who was suspended in the air!
Facing the incoming spider silk, Wanda didn't even bother to dodge.
She simply raised her hand slightly, and the air in front of her instantly warped, forming an invisible energy barrier!
Hiss! Hiss!
The spider silk struck the barrier, emitting a grating friction sound, but it was as if it had hit the toughest alloy, unable to advance an inch! It eventually slid off weakly.
"Is that all you've got?" Wanda's lips curved into a sneer, "You've disappointed me greatly, 'good friend'."
Gwen's eyes turned cold!
This woman! Not only is she powerful, but her words are also so venomous!
She no longer held back, pushing her speed and agility to the limit!
Like a phantom, she moved at high speed across the area, constantly changing positions. At the same time, spider silk shot out from all directions towards Wanda like a net from heaven and earth, attempting to restrict her movements and find her weaknesses!
For a moment, the area was covered with dense white spider webs, interweaving with the faint red Chaos Energy around Wanda, forming a bizarre and dazzling spectacle!
Chapter 29
However, Wanda remained suspended in place, unmoving like a mountain!
She even closed her eyes!
Relying solely on her perception of Chaos energy, she either deflected all of Gwen's web attacks with her telekinesis or blocked them with an energy barrier!
She moved with ease and grace, completely in control!
The disparity in their strength... seemed... quite obvious?
Lin Tian, leaning against a container, subtly raised an eyebrow at this sight.
Wanda's progress was indeed rapid, and her control over Chaos Magic was growing stronger.
But... her combat experience was almost Zero. She only used such simple and crude methods for defense and attack.
As for Gwen, while she might not match Wanda in pure power, her combat intelligence, reaction speed, and almost instinctive Spider-Sense were far beyond what Wandacould currently compare to!
Indeed!
Just as Wanda was completely engrossed in her "defensive game," and even showing a hint of complacency!
Gwen, who had been moving at high speed, seemingly making futile efforts, suddenly had a sharp glint in her eyes!
Got you! A weakness!
Her figure abruptly twisted, and using the pull of her webs, she shot up like a cannonball! Her target... was precisely the empty space beneath Wanda's feet!
At the same time! She extended both hands! Dozens of dense, almost invisible webs, like a torrential rain, shot towards the seemingly undefended areas around Wanda's body!
This was... a feint?!
Wanda's heart jolted! Subconsciously, she was about to mobilize her telekinesis to intercept those fine webs!
But Gwen was waiting for this very moment!
The instant Wanda was distracted!
Gwen's body had already rushed beneath Wanda!
She suddenly extended her hand, not to attack, but to... fire several extremely tough webs from her web-shooters towards the ground! Firmly "fixing" her body to the ground!
Then!
Her legs pushed off like springs! Using the recoil from the webs, her entire body shot vertically upwards like a Rocket!
Her target! Was Wanda, who was suspended in the air and had a momentary defensive opening due to her distraction!
Oh no!
Wanda's face changed drastically! She wanted to condense an energy barrier again, but it was already... too late!
Bang!!!
Gwen's uppercut, which concentrated all her strength and even some of her Spider-power, landed squarely on Wanda's abdomen!
"Ugh!"
Wanda let out a pained grunt! Her entire body, like a kite with its string cut, was directly blasted away by this immense force! The Chaos energy swirling around her instantly dissipated!
She fell heavily to the ground a dozen meters away, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, her small face instantly turning pale!
The victor... was decided?!
Pietro, standing in the distance, was stunned!
His sister... actually... lost?!
Lin Tian's eyes, however, flashed with a hint of approval.
Gwen's series of tactical maneuvers was brilliant! She fully utilized her advantages, seized the opponent's weakness, and won with a single strike!
It seems the guidance during this period has been remarkably effective.
However, just when everyone thought the battle was over!
An anomaly... occurred again!
Wanda, knocked to the ground, felt the sharp pain in her abdomen, and... the intense unwillingness and humiliation of losing to her "love rival"!
Coupled with the accumulated jealousy and grievance from before... all these negative emotions, like a catalyst, instantly ignited the Chaos Magic energy within her, which had already been stimulated by Lin Tian to an abnormal degree!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Wanda suddenly raised her head and let out a piercing scream!
A deep red energy, far more terrifying than before! Even carrying an aura of destruction, surged out from her body like a volcanic eruption!!!
The surrounding air instantly became viscous! The ground began to tremble! The abandoned containers groaned under the strain!
The sky... seemed to darken!
Lost control?!
Lin Tian's expression, for the first time... subtly changed!

Chapter 48: Power Out of Control, Forbidden Kiss
The Chaos energy erupting from Wanda's body, like an out-of-control Beast, spread wildly in all directions!
A deep red energy storm swept through the entire warehouse district!
The ground cracked! Containers were tossed around like paper! Even the abandoned factory buildings in the distance began to twist and collapse under this terrifying power!
It was as if the end of the World had come!
"Wanda!!" Pietro shouted in horror, wanting to rush over, but he was firmly suppressed in place by the violent energy storm, unable to move!
Gwen was also stunned by this sudden change!
She could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within that deep red energy, enough to easily tear her to shreds!
Is this... her true power?!
It's too terrifying!
"Damn it!" Lin Tian cursed under his breath, a grave expression appearing on his face for the first time!
He hadn't expected Wanda's power to suddenly spiral out of control to such an extent!
This power had already far exceeded the scope of ordinary super-powered individuals, even faintly touching the level of "rules"!
If this continued, not to mention this warehouse district, probably the entire New York City would suffer!
It might even trigger more terrifying chain reactions!
He had to stop her!
Lin Tian no longer hesitated, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared at the center of the energy storm—in front of Wanda!
At this moment, Wanda's eyes were completely covered by deep red energy, her face devoid of any expression, only endless chaos and a desire for destruction! She had completely lost her sanity!
"Wanda! Wake up!" Lin Tian tried to awaken her with his voice.
But Wanda was unresponsive! Instead, she fiercely blasted that violent energy towards Lin Tian, who was within arm's reach!
Lin Tian's eyes narrowed!
The power of the third layer of the Yin Yang Harmony Manual instantly operated to its extreme!
A hazy purple-gold light shield appeared on the surface of his body!
Boom!!!
The deep red Chaos energy violently collided with the purple-gold light shield! Erupting in a deafening roar!
The entire space seemed to tremble!
Lin Tian's body swayed slightly, but the purple-gold light shield actually withstood this terrifying blow! Although its light dimmed considerably, it did not shatter!
This was the defensive power of the third layer of the Yin Yang Harmony Manual! Coupled with his understanding of energy laws, it was enough to directly confront this level of energy impact!
"It seems I can only use that method." Lin Tian looked at Wanda, who was still in an uncontrolled state, a decisive glint in his eyes.
He knew that simply relying on external force to suppress it would not truly quell the rampaging Chaos energy within Wanda.
The only way was to use a deeper "energy resonance" to soothe her from within! To guide her!
And the most direct and effective method of "deep resonance" was...
Lin Tian no longer hesitated!
He suddenly reached out and tightly pulled Wanda, whose clothes were somewhat disheveled from the energy explosion, into his arms!
Then, he lowered his head, and against those lifeless lips covered by deep red energy...
He kissed her fiercely!
This was no longer a simple "kiss"!
This was a forced energy fusion, a forbidden technique, using oneself as a "vessel" and the soul as a "bridge"!
Buzz---!!!
The moment their lips touched!
The pure and vast Harmony True Qi within Lin Tian's body, as if finding an outlet, surged madly into Wanda's body!
At the same time! The violent and uncontrolled Chaos Magic energy within Wanda's body, as if finding its home, poured back into Lin Tian's body!
Two completely different, yet essentially mutually attractive top-tier energies, within their bodies, began a fierce collision, fusion, and even absorption, in an extremely dangerous yet incredibly efficient manner?!
"Ugh!!!"
Lin Tian and Wanda both let out a pained grunt at the same time!
Lin Tian felt as if his meridians were about to burst from the violent Chaos energy! His soul trembled!
But he still held Wanda tightly, frantically circulating the Yin Yang Harmony Manual, trying to refine and absorb the Chaos energy pouring into his body!
As for Wanda, under the impact of Lin Tian's domineering yet somewhat soothing Harmony True Qi, a trace of clarity gradually returned to her eyes, which were covered by deep red energy!
She could feel Lin Tian's aura... Lin Tian's warmth... and the heart-pounding sensation from his lips!
Lin is kissing me?!
He's saving me this way?!
Her consciousness gradually returned.
The chaotic energy also began to slowly subside.
The deep red energy storm receded like a tide.
The surrounding vibrations stopped.
The sky also cleared.
Everything seemed to be over.
When Lin Tian slowly released Wanda, both of them were somewhat exhausted.
Lin Tian's face was slightly pale, but his eyes were exceptionally bright!
Although that dangerous energy fusion had subjected him to immense pressure, the gains were equally immense!
He not only successfully absorbed and refined a considerable portion of the uncontrolled Chaos energy, allowing his cultivation to advance significantly again! There were faint signs of touching the middle stage of the third layer!
More importantly! He felt that a deeper, almost soul-level connection had been established between him and Wanda!
He could even vaguely perceive Wanda's inner thoughts and emotions!
As for Wanda, she was sprawled in Lin Tian's arms, gasping for breath, her small face flushed, her eyes hazy, as if she had just experienced an extremely intense lovemaking session.
She looked at Lin Tian, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Chapter 30
Shock, lingering fear, gratitude, dependence, and an even more intense, almost overflowing love and possessiveness!
That forbidden kiss just now, and the soul-merging experience, made her completely fall.
She knew that from this moment on, she could never leave this man.
"Lin," she reached out a trembling hand, gently stroking Lin Tian's cheek, her voice a little hoarse and seductive, "Thank you."
Lin Tian looked at her charming and alluring appearance, smiled slightly, lowered his head, and kissed her again.
This time, it was no longer to save her.
It was a pure kiss, full of possession and reward.
In the distance.
Pietro and Gwen stared dumbfounded at the scene of survival after a disaster, yet full of forbidden ambiguity, their minds blank.
What exactly happened just now?!
Why did they start kissing in the middle of a fight?!
And it seemed like they were kissing quite passionately?!
Gwen felt her heart being sharply pierced by something!
Lin actually kissed that red-haired girl?!
And it was after her powers went out of control?!
Could Lin feel something for her?
An unprecedented sense of crisis and bitterness welled up in Gwen's heart.
And Pietro, watching his sister and that mysterious man embrace and kiss so "intimately," felt his worldview completely collapse.
What in the world is going on?!
It seems this older brother of his will completely lose control of his sister from now on.
A shura field that was originally a "Queen's Battle" ultimately ended in a way no one expected, full of taboo and ambiguity.

Chapter 49: Cracks Begin to Appear, Each with Their Own Thoughts
That thrilling "Queen's Battle" and the subsequent "Energy Fusion Kiss" full of forbidden meaning left an indelible mark in the hearts of the three involved, and quietly changed their relationship.
For Wanda, Lin Tian was not only her mentor and benefactor, but also her redeemer, the destination of her soul.
That kiss, and the experience of soul fusion, made her completely consider herself Lin Tian's "possession."
Her love and possessiveness for Lin Tian reached their peak, and at the same time, she developed a stronger hostility and repulsion towards other women who might approach Lin Tian.
She began to cling more to Lin Tian and worked harder to cultivate Chaos Magic, eager to become stronger, strong enough to be the only presence by Lin's side.
For Gwen, the experience of that night was a huge shock and blow.
She witnessed Wanda's almost world-destroying power firsthand, and she also witnessed Lin Tian's "reckless" rescue of Wanda and that heartbreaking kiss.
For the first time, she truly felt that she might not be the most important person in Lin Tian's heart.
A strong sense of crisis and unwillingness made her also begin to throw herself into training more frantically; she yearned to become stronger, yearning to regain Lin Tian's "attention."
But at the same time, an irreparable crack seemed to have appeared between her and Lin Tian.
She began to doubt Lin Tian's true intentions and began to waver in her relationship with herself and Lin Tian.
As for Lin Tian, the gains from that night were undoubtedly immense.
Not only did his strength improve again, but more importantly, he completely "captured" Wanda's body and mind, making her his most loyal and most potential "cauldron" and "weapon."
At the same time, he also keenly noticed the change in Gwen's mindset.
However, he didn't care.
He even seemed to be somewhat pleased?
Gwen's wavering and sense of crisis could, on the contrary, better stimulate her growth.
And aren't occasional "little squabbles" and "little cracks" more likely to add to the fun between lovers?
Lin Tian still maintained his "balance" strategy.
In front of Wanda, he would appear more "single-minded" and "indulgent," satisfying her possessiveness while continuously guiding and stimulating her power.
And when communicating with Gwen, he would appear more "mysterious" and "elusive," arousing Gwen's curiosity and desire for conquest.
He was like the most skilled fisherman, firmly controlling the fishing line in his hand, allowing two beautiful "fish" to struggle and sink under his guidance.
Of course, Lin Tian also did not forget his "main business."
While continuing to "train" Wanda and Gwen, he began to use the information obtained from the HYDRA Base and the brain information of Baron Strucker, which he had completely "read," to plan his next move.
Mind Stone, Infinity Stones.
These things are crucial to his future plans.
He needed to find them.
And the biggest clue currently pointed to S.H.I.E.L.D. and an upcoming important international security conference?
It seemed someone wanted to use this conference to cause some big trouble?
A cold smile played on Lin Tian's lips.
It seems it's time to have a good "exchange" with those "old friends."
At the same time, within S.H.I.E.L.D., undercurrents surged due to the European HYDRA Base incident and the frequent abnormal events in New York recently.
Fury's apprehension of Lin Tian reached its peak, and he began to secretly gather all available forces, attempting to find Lin Tian's weakness, and even preparing for a "preemptive strike"?
Steve was worried; he could not tolerate the existence of such an uncontrollable powerful force like Lin Tian and began to actively contact other Avengers members to discuss countermeasures.
Natasha was caught in deep contradiction and struggle. On one hand, she was worried about Lin Tian's actions, but on the other hand, she couldn't control her feelings for him. Fury's new mission to her—to investigate Lin Tian's relationship with HYDRA—made her even more tormented.
And Tony Stark, after experiencing that "Hongmen Banquet," his apprehension and curiosity about Lin Tianalso reached its peak. He began to frantically upgrade his Iron Man armor and accelerated the research and development process of the Ultron Project. He firmly believed that only stronger technological power could cope with unknown threats like Lin Tian!
A storm centered around Lin Tian, involving S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers, the remnants of HYDRA, and possibly even higher-dimensional entities, was quietly gathering in New York.
Yet Lin Tian, at the center of the storm, seemed completely unaware.
He was still leisurely "training" his "students" and "dao companions," enjoying the pleasure of controlling everything.
Because he knew that no matter how fierce the storm, the ultimate victor would only be him.
Because he held the ultimate trump card... New book released, please collect, give flowers, evaluate, and everything else!

...Before the story begins, let's talk about some unrelated things.
To be honest, it's really not easy for a girl to write male-oriented novels under pressure.
My parents said I was wasting my time and should go back to my old factory job.
Everyone knows my pen name is Dabing (Pancake).
That's because the factory kept feeding me pancakes!
I never want to see the greasy face of the workshop director again!
Every time I used to work, he would secretly be with me and try to take advantage of me!
That's why I resigned.
But I haven't told anyone about this, including my parents.
I only told you.
To be honest, writing novels in the male-oriented genre, writing about things I'm interested in, is really fun.
I really hope I can keep writing; I truly don't want to go back to the past.
Can anyone support me?
Every day my parents force me to go back to the factory to work, and sometimes it's really tiring... But I think, as long as someone supports me, even if it's just one person, everything I do will be worth it.
This book was very difficult to write.
Sometimes for one chapter, researching information would make my mind muddled, but I still persisted in typing.
It might take several hours.
Just to write one chapter of content.
And sometimes, it would be because of a single plot point.
I would silently ponder for a long time.
How to present it so that the big brothers (readers) would enjoy it.
Regarding the protagonist.
I try my best to give the big brothers a flesh-and-blood character, so some original plots are essential.

But I'm also afraid that everyone won't like it and will think I'm just filling space.

But the author guarantees that I will put all my effort into making the story good.
For all the big brothers who support me and encourage me.
