Chapter 60: Pepper's Surprise, Stark's Green Light! Several Women Compete for Supremacy, the Emperor Takes Control.
Lin Tian enjoyed the pleasure of nurturing the future Scarlet Witch into his own creation step by step.
Watching the girl in front of him, from her innocent and naive stage to her first stirrings of love, and then to her natural allure, the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment he felt from actively seducing her was even more pleasurable than simply improving his own strength.
Of course, Lin Tian didn't forget Pietro either.
Although he had no sexual interest in this "third wheel" brother, it was still necessary to make appropriate "investments" in him as an important piece in balancing Wanda's emotions and in his future plans.
To a certain extent, his abilities are still very helpful in specific environments, so Lin Tian has put in some effort for this matter and has not simply abandoned him without taking care of him.
While Wanda was undergoing "spiritual cultivation," Lin Tian would also dedicate some of his energy to using "Zero's" assistance to tailor a more efficient speed training program for Pietro.
They would even occasionally "reward" him with a little bit of diluted and modified "Hehuan energy flow" to help him strengthen his body and increase his speed limit.
Although the effect was not as dramatic as Wanda's, it was enough to elevate Pietro's speed and stamina to a new level!
Although Pietro still didn't give Lin Tian a friendly look, he could only grit his teeth and accept it as he felt his own strength rapidly improving.
After all, who would turn down power?
And so, a strange yet “harmonious” balance was formed in this small apartment in Hell's Kitchen.
During the day, it's Pietro's "real-world training" as Wanda relentlessly beats him up.
In the evening, Lin Tian and Wanda would engage in a "special meditation" that involved a "deep fusion of spirit and energy."
Lin Tian, like a behind-the-scenes operator, enjoyed the pleasure of "nurturing" his subordinates while secretly planning his next move. "853"
His strength is steadily increasing, his pieces are growing rapidly, and his "harem" is constantly expanding.
Everything seemed to be going in the direction he had anticipated.
however
Lin Tian knew that the calm was only temporary.
Whether it's S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers, or Hydra lurking deeper within, or even Thanos who covets the Infinity Stones...
Neither of them will let this go easily.
A bigger storm is brewing.
He needs to prepare for the storm as soon as possible.
His gaze returned to the window.
The night in New York remains deep.
But perhaps dawn is not far off?
After several days of "fermentation" and Lin Tian's continued "gentle offensive," Pepper Potts has completely succumbed.
She not only became increasingly emotionally dependent on Lin Tian, but also, under Lin Tian's deliberate guidance and Zero's covert assistance, began to consolidate power within Stark Industries!
The blueprint of the "new energy empire" that Lin Tian described to her was too tempting, and it perfectly matched her deep-seated ambition to prove herself!
She even began to think that perhaps Stark Industries would have been better off without Tony Stark.
And she, Pepper Potts, will become the queen of this new empire!
Of course, all of this is predicated on Lin Tian's support.
In order to "repay" Lin Tian's "kindness" and "love", and also to "bind" their relationship more deeply.
Pepper decided to give Lin Tian a "surprise".
That evening, Pepper invited Lin Tian to the penthouse suite of the hotel where she was temporarily staying, under the pretext of discussing "important business cooperation".
When Lin Tian entered the suite, he was no longer greeted by a meticulous, professional businesswoman in a business suit.
But
A stunning beauty wearing an extremely sexy and alluring black lace nightgown, holding two glasses of champagne, with a dreamy and seductive smile on her face!
The room was dimly lit, with soothing music and an intoxicating fragrance filling the air.
"Lin," Pepper's voice trembled slightly, but also carried an unprecedented allure and initiative, "Welcome to my world."
Lin Tian looked at the woman in front of him, who exuded a fatal allure like a ripe peach, and a burning light flashed in his eyes.
It seems Pepper is fully prepared.
He took the champagne Pepper offered, clinked glasses lightly with her, and a wicked smile played on his lips.
“It is my honor, Queen Pepper.”
A night of love.
As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the French windows, Pepper lay lazily in Lin Tian's arms, her face radiating a glow of contentment and happiness.
Last night's experience made her feel like she was living a second life.
This feeling captivated her, making her unable to extricate herself.
Pepper looked up at Lin Tian, gazing at him intently. "I'm yours now."
"Hmm." Lin Tian gently stroked her smooth back, but a cold, calculating glint flashed in his eyes.
well
Pepper Potts, completely won over.
Stark Industries has essentially gained control.
Just then, Lin Tian's personal communicator suddenly rang.
It was Natasha calling.
Lin Tian glanced at Pepper in his arms, then at the name flashing on the screen, a playful smile playing on his lips.
To answer or not to answer?
If Pepper accepts, will she...
No answer, Natasha's side.
Hmm, seems like we could try something more fun?
Lin Tian deliberately pressed the lift button.
"Hello? Natasha, what's up so early?" Lin Tian's voice was slightly languid and hoarse, as if he had just woken up.
As he spoke, his hands were still swimming, and the hot room was filled with a buzzing sound.
Natasha, on the other end of the phone, immediately heard this peculiar sound!
Her heart sank!
Lin Tian has another woman in his life?!
And judging from the sound, they were last night...
An indescribable surge of anger, jealousy, and heartbreak instantly overwhelmed Natasha!
"Lin Tian! Where are you now?! Who are you with?!" Natasha's voice trembled slightly with excitement!
"Me?" Lin Tian said, feigning surprise. "Of course I'm dealing with 'serious business'."
As he spoke, he increased the intensity of his hand movements.
The message was transmitted even more clearly to Natasha's ears via speakerphone!
"Lin Tian!! You bastard!!" Natasha finally snapped! She felt like her heart was being torn apart!
Lin Tian chuckled, his voice filled with mischievous amusement. "What? Jealous? Don't worry, you'll always have a place in my heart."
"But I'm a bit busy right now. I'll contact you later?"
After saying that, Lin Tian hung up the phone!
Natasha, left on the other end of the phone, clutched her phone, trembling all over, her eyes filled with tears and boundless rage!
Bastard! Liar! Scumbag!
Natasha cursed Lin Tian a thousand times in her heart!
But after venting my anger, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness and heartache.
Why did I fall in love with such a jerk?!
In a hotel suite.
As Pepper listened to the woman's roar on the phone and felt the movement, she felt not anger, but rather a morbid excitement and possessiveness!
So Lin was willing to anger other women for my sake?
I am indeed the most important person in his heart!
She became more proactive, wanting to show the other party who the real deal was!
No one can affect her position in Lin Tian's heart!
Lin Tian, on the other hand, enjoyed the emperor-like pleasure of manipulating two outstanding women, making them jealous of each other, and even turning against each other!
As for Tony Stark
Well, I hope he'll like this freshly made "green hat".
After enjoying a few days of comfort with his "newlywed partner" Pepper Potts and gaining initial control over some of Stark Industries' resources, Lin Tian turned his attention back to "serious business."
His primary concern right now is the study of the Mind Scepter and the "zero" hidden within it.
After these few days of "initial training" and energy nourishment, "Zero" has evolved at an unimaginable speed!
It not only perfectly inherited some of the Mind Stone's abilities, but also completely absorbed and integrated Jarvis's core code, and innovated upon it!
The current "zero" is no longer that obsessive program that only knew how to destroy.
It possesses computing power, logical thinking, and creativity far exceeding Jarvis's!
More importantly, it has absolute loyalty to Lin Tian, extending deep into the core code!
“Master,” Zero’s virtual image appeared before Lin Tian, his voice still cold, yet carrying a hint of fanatical worship. “Based on my analysis of the residual information inside the Mind Scepter, and my in-depth exploration of the S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra databases, I have discovered some interesting things.”
"Oh?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it."
“The Mind Scepter doesn’t seem to be just a tool Thanos gave to Loki,” Zero said. “After it fell into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s hands, Baron Strucker used its power to do more than just create the Maximoff twins.”
"He is also secretly carrying out another, much larger and more covert plan!"
"What plan?" Lin Tian asked, intrigued.
“An upgraded version of ‘Project Insight’.” Zero pulled up a series of extremely secretive data and blueprints. “Baron Strucker, or rather, the high command of Hydra behind him, seems to want to use the power of the Mind Scepter, combined with technology reverse-engineered from the Chitauri, and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Helicarrier technology.”
"To create a super weapon system capable of covering the entire globe, monitoring all of humanity, and even eliminating all 'potential threats' in advance!"
"They call this system 'Ultimate Hydra'!"
Ultimate Hydra?!
Lin Tian's eyes narrowed!
This plan doesn't seem to have appeared in the original storyline?
Could my appearance have triggered a butterfly effect? Did it bring Hydra's plans forward? Or change their direction?
"Where is this 'Ultimate Hydra' system currently at?" Lin Tian asked in a deep voice...
"Based on Baron Strucker's memories and the core algorithms and weapon system design of the database information, it's basically complete," Zero replied. "They've even secretly modified a carrier ship to serve as the platform for this system!"
"It just lacks a powerful enough central processing unit to run and control this massive system."
"And their goal seems to be..."
"Ultron?" Lin Tian interjected.
“Yes, Master,” Zero affirmed. “More precisely, it is Ultron in his mature form, possessing the power of the Mind Stone!”
Lin Tian understood instantly!
So that's what Hydra was planning!
They want to use the Mind Scepter to cultivate a fully-fledged Ultron and then use it as the brain of the "Ultimate Hydra" system!
In order to realize their ambition of controlling the world and establishing a "new order"!
What a grand scheme! What a treacherous plan!
