The elevator descended smoothly.
The small space was filled with Lin Tian's unique aura, which made her heart flutter.
Add to that Wanda's hostile gaze from the side...
Natasha felt her cheeks start to burn again.
Just then, Lin Tian suddenly moved.
He took a step closer to Natasha, seemingly unintentionally.
The distance between the two instantly shrank!
Natasha could even feel the warmth emanating from Lin Tian's arm!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively wanted to back away, but found that... the elevator space was only so big, and she had nowhere to retreat!
Moreover, Lin Tian seemed to be subtly rubbing her arm against her arm...
This action was extremely subtle, extremely...ambiguous!
Natasha's body tensed instantly!
A strange electric current surged from the point of contact on her arm, quickly spreading throughout her body! It sent waves of tingling sensation through her!
She turned sharply to look at Lin Tian, wanting to warn him with her eyes!
But she discovered... Lin Tian wasn't even looking at her!
He was tilting his head, smiling and talking to Wanda, as if the ambiguous "little action" just now was just an unintentional touch.
But... Wanda's increasingly cold expression and the almost fiery look in her eyes when she looked at her clearly indicated that she had also discovered it!
This bastard!
He actually...seduced me secretly 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, smug feeling of being "favored"?
This contradictory yet stimulating feeling left her mind in a state of chaos!
Lin Tian seemed to think it wasn't "exciting" enough.
As he continued talking to Wanda, trying to calm the little girl down, his fingers twitched slightly.
A faint, almost imperceptible, aura of the Hehuan True Qi, which only he and Natasha could sense, flowed silently into Natasha's body through the point where their arms touched, like a tiny electric current!
"Mmm..." Natasha was caught off guard, and a very faint, suppressed moan escaped from her throat!
Her body went limp instantly, and she could barely stand!
That familiar, strange energy that had captivated her once again swept over her entire body!
And... this time, it seems... even stronger?!
She quickly bit her lip to prevent herself from making any more shameful sounds!
She glared at Lin Tian fiercely, her eyes filled with shame and a hint of pleading.
Beg him to stop!
When Lin Tian met her watery eyes, filled with shame, indignation, and pleading, the smile on his lips deepened.
Not only did he not stop, but he actually increased the flow of his inner energy!
At the same time, his fingers also began to... become unruly.
Gently, it slid along the inside of Natasha's arm...
"Ugh..." Natasha could no longer hold back and collapsed to the ground!
Thankfully... the elevator has arrived!
Ding--
The elevator door opens.
Lin Tian also withdrew his true energy and... mischievous fingers at the opportune moment.
But his arm naturally... wrapped around Natasha's soft waist, half-carrying and half-supporting her as he led her out of the elevator.
To outsiders, it looked as if... Natasha was unwell and Lin Tian was taking good care of her.
"Mr. Lin, Miss Maksimov, Mr. Maksimov, please take care," the security guard at the door said respectfully.
"Thank you." Lin Tian smiled and nodded, then put his arm around Natasha, who was almost completely limp and could only lean her weight on him, and walked out of Stark Tower.
Wanda and Pietro followed behind.
Pietro looked completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened in the elevator, or why the red-haired female agent suddenly seemed unsteady on her feet.
Wanda, on the other hand, was so angry that her face turned ashen! She was practically grinding her teeth to powder!
Although she hadn't clearly seen Lin Tian's subtle movements, how could she not have noticed Natasha's sudden collapse and the abnormal flush on her face?!
Lin! He actually... he actually... with that woman right in front of me...
Wanda felt like her heart was breaking!
A violent urge to destroy everything was growing wildly in her heart!
……
It wasn't until they got into a black car that Lin Tian had somehow gotten his hands on and were far away from Stark Tower that Natasha finally calmed down a bit.
She pushed Lin Tian away, huddled in the corner of the passenger seat, glaring at him with a mixture of shame and anger, unable to utter a single word.
What happened in the elevator just now... was absolutely the most... humiliating experience of her life!
Lin Tian, however, acted as if nothing had happened, asking as he drove, "Where to next? Back to your safe house?"
“No…no need!” Natasha immediately refused. “Just drop me off anywhere!”
All she wanted now was to get away from this monster immediately!
"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. "I thought... you would want to... spend more time with me?"
His tone was full of implications.
Natasha's cheeks flushed again. She bit her lip and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
Lin Tian chuckled as he looked at her proud yet slightly aggrieved expression, and didn't tease her any further.
The car drove smoothly through the night.
In the back seat, Wanda remained silent, radiating a low-pressure aura that kept strangers at bay.
Pietro, caught in the middle, felt extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Tian took in everything through the rearview mirror and secretly made plans in his mind.
It seems... Wanda needs some "compensation".
Otherwise, if this little jealous person gets out of control, things could get really messy.
Just in time... he already had a next "target" in mind.
A new "sister" who might be able to distract Wanda a little?
His gaze fell in a certain direction—Queens.
The one who also possessed the power of spiders, his "first partner"... Gwen Stacy.
Is it time... to let them meet?

Chapter 45: The Queen Arrives? No, It's a Battlefield of Bloodshed
In the end, Lin Tian kindly took Natasha back to the vicinity of her safe house.
Before getting out of the car, he gave Natasha a lingering, passionate kiss before letting her go.
Watching Natasha's figure disappear into the night as if fleeing, Lin Tian's smile grew even more wicked.
Having dealt with this biggest "trouble," the next step... is to deal with the "small fire" in the backyard.
He turned to look at the back seat, and sure enough, Wanda's face was still gloomy, her eyes looking at him resentfully, as if silently accusing him of his womanizing.
"Still angry?" Lin Tian asked knowingly, his tone tinged with a hint of indulgence.
Wanda turned her head away and ignored him.
"Alright, alright," Lin Tian smiled helplessly, "It was my fault, I shouldn't have... been so close to her in front of you."
He reached out, wanting to take Wanda's hand.
Wanda struggled symbolically for a moment, but in the end... she let him hold her little hand.
“But you have to understand,” Lin Tian gripped her hand, his tone becoming serious, “Natasha plays 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. It's all... for our common goal, understand?"
Lin Tian began to spout nonsense with a straight face, trying to rationalize his "womanizing" behavior as "for the sake of revenge."
Wanda listened to Lin Tian's "explanation," and although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she... seemed to be able to understand?
After all, Lin did all this to help them get revenge, didn't he?
Moreover... Lin also said that Natasha only has a "purpose," while he himself... is "unique."
Thinking of this, Wanda's anger subsided considerably. She gripped Lin Tian's hand tightly and whispered, "Um... I understand. But... could you... perhaps not do this in front of me in the future..."
"Okay, okay," Lin Tian immediately raised his hands in surrender, "I'll definitely be more careful in the future."
Seeing that the girl's "sunshine had finally come," Lin Tian chuckled inwardly.
Little girl, you're still too inexperienced.
However... verbal reassurance alone is not enough.
We still need... concrete actions.
"Let's go," Lin Tian started the car, "I'll take you to see someone."
"Who are you going to see?" Wanda asked curiously.
"A girl... who looks a lot like you." Lin Tian smiled mysteriously. "Perhaps... you two will become good friends?"
……
Queens, downstairs from Gwen Stacy's apartment building.
It was already late at night when Lin Tian arrived here with Wanda and Pietro.
“Where is this…” Wanda looked at the ordinary apartment building in front of her, somewhat puzzled.
“I used to… live here,” Lin Tian explained, then looked up at one of the windows with a light on. “The person I’m taking you to see lives there.”
Instead of ringing the doorbell, he led Wanda and Pietro, like ghosts, silently passing through the wall and entering the apartment.
Although Pietro and Wanda had already witnessed many of Lin Tian's amazing abilities, this ability to directly pass through walls still shocked them once again.
Inside the apartment.
Gwen Stacy has just finished her night patrol and is sitting at her desk in comfortable pajamas, studying how to improve her web shooters.
She hadn't seen Lin Tian since the Green Goblin incident.
Although Lin Tian would occasionally send her messages to inquire about her situation, and even... flirt with her using some ambiguous language.
But... not seeing her in person always left Gwen feeling empty inside.
She really wanted to find Lin Tian, but she didn't know where he was, or even if he was with another woman.
Especially... Natasha Romanov's appearance last time left a lingering unease in her heart.
