American comic: Checking in, Gwen in black stockings rolls her eyes.

.

The nights in Hell's Kitchen are unlike the hustle and bustle of other parts of Manhattan.

There is a more primitive and rough atmosphere here.

The neon lights were dim, and faint sounds of arguing and overturned trash cans could be heard from deep within the alley.

The air was filled with the smells of food, alcohol, and some indescribable sense of despair.

However, beneath this chaotic surface, a new order is quietly being established.

Since Kingpin's downfall, a mysterious and powerful force has quickly filled the power vacuum, integrating various underground forces in an undeniable manner.

The street thugs have become much more restrained.

Those once-ruthless gang leaders either disappeared or chose to submit.

People were whispering among themselves that Hell's Kitchen had a new "king," a figure no one dared to challenge.

Lin Feng and Natasha strolled through the streets of Hell's Kitchen at night, just like any ordinary couple.

Natasha curiously observed her surroundings.

The environment here is completely different from the high society or highly classified world of spies she had previously encountered.

But it has a strange sense of realism.

She could sense the tension and danger lurking in the air, as well as a delicate balance formed under strong constraints.

They entered an unremarkable old building.

After passing through several hidden doors disguised as ordinary warehouse doors, the view suddenly opened up before us.

A brightly lit, modern passageway leading downwards contrasts sharply with the dilapidated exterior.

At the end of the passage, a man dressed in a red bodysuit and wearing a hood, with only the lower half of his face visible, was already waiting there.

He was fit and stood tall.

Even with his face covered, you could feel his alert and focused demeanor.

"Boss, you are here."

The man bowed slightly, his voice deep and magnetic.

It was Matt Murdoch, the vigilante from Hell's Kitchen.

With his extraordinary senses, he had already "heard" Lin Feng and Natasha's arrival.

Lin Feng nodded and turned to Daredevil to introduce: 050

“Matt, this is Natasha Romanoff. From today onwards, she will manage the day-to-day affairs of Hell's Kitchen for me. You can report directly to her for any important matters.”

Daredevil turned to Natasha.

Although she couldn't see him, Natasha could feel his superhuman senses "examining" her.

She could hear the subtle changes in his heartbeat and feel the rhythm of his breathing.

A moment later, Daredevil bowed slightly again.

"Ms. Romanov, welcome. I will fully cooperate with your work."

.....

196: Natasha is dumbfounded!

His tone was full of respect.

It wasn't just obedience to Lin Feng's orders; it also seemed to acknowledge the powerful aura emanating from Natasha herself.

Natasha's heart stirred once again.

Daredevil, the Dark Knight of Hell's Kitchen.

This legendary figure in the underworld is actually one of Lin Feng's subordinates?

Moreover, judging from his attitude, his respect was genuine.

She looked at Lin Feng beside her; the shocks this man brought her were coming one after another.

Her curiosity and admiration for him were almost overflowing.

"Hello, Matt. Just call me Natasha."

Natasha nodded in response.

She knew that to truly integrate and earn the respect of these people, she needed time and action to prove herself.

"Come on, let me show you around our 'headquarters'."

Lin Feng smiled and said to Natasha, then took the lead and walked into the base.

The underground base was far larger than Natasha had imagined.

This place not only has training areas, armories, and intelligence centers, but also a large-scale, state-of-the-art experimental area.

The air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant and chemical reagents.

When they entered the experimental area, they saw two familiar yet unfamiliar figures.

A man wearing a white lab coat and thick glasses, with several flexible, metallic-looking mechanical tentacles attached to his back.

He was analyzing a complex data stream in front of a huge virtual screen.

It was none other than the former Doctor Octopus, Otto Octavius.

The other one was tall, and some residual scaly textures could still be faintly seen on its skin.

Wearing the same lab coats, they intently observed the green liquid in the petri dishes.

That was Dr. Curtis Connors, who once disguised himself as the Lizard Professor.

Upon seeing Lin Feng and Natasha enter, the two immediately stopped what they were doing, turned around, and bowed respectfully.

"Hello, boss!"

Their voices carried a complex mix of awe and gratitude.

With Lin Feng's help, they broke free from their past madness and obsession, regained their rationality, and devoted their talents to new research.

Although it was forced upon them, they seem to have found new value in it.

How's the research going?

Lin Feng asked casually, his gaze sweeping over the complex instruments and the data flashing on the screens.

Doctor Octopus adjusted his glasses and reported in his slightly mechanical tone:

"Boss, the research on the longevity elixir has made a breakthrough. We have successfully isolated and stabilized the key regeneration factor. Preliminary animal experiments show that it can significantly delay the aging process and greatly enhance cell activity and repair capabilities. Of course, there are still some technical difficulties to overcome before perfect human application, mainly how to precisely control its effects and avoid uncontrollable mutations."

The lizard professor then added:

"Based on the chaotic energy sample you provided, we tried incorporating a specific fluctuation frequency into the stabilizer of the drug, and found the effect to be surprisingly good. It seems to neutralize some potential negative reactions, making the drug's effects more gentle and controllable. This is the latest experimental result."

His words shocked everyone.

.....

197: Immortal Physique! Invincible!

As he spoke, he picked up a test tube filled with a pale golden liquid and handed it to Lin Feng.

Natasha listened silently, her heart already churning with turmoil.

Longevity potion?

This is no longer science fiction, it's mythology!

Although she has experienced the Super Soldier Serum, alien technology, and even come into contact with the Infinity Stones.

But the concept of "immortality".

It still left her feeling extremely shocked and somewhat absurd.

These two mad scientists once caused enormous trouble for the world.

Now, they're actually researching this heaven-defying thing under Lin Feng's orders?

And it seems they've made significant progress?

Lin Feng took the test tube, but didn't look at it carefully. Instead, he handed it directly to Natasha, who was standing next to 050.

"Consider this a welcome gift for you."

he said with a smile.

"Use it according to the instructions provided by Otto and the others. It can enhance your physical fitness and improve your strength. It should be helpful for your work in the future."

Natasha took the test tube, which emitted a faint glow, in a daze; it was slightly warm to the touch.

She looked at Lin Feng, then at the test tube, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Strengthening capabilities?

The effects of this thing are probably far more than just enhancement, right?

An elixir of immortality…this is simply priceless!

He just gave it to me so easily?

"This... is too valuable."

Natasha's voice was a little hoarse.

"To me, a trustworthy partner is far more valuable than these medicines."

Lin Feng's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable sincerity.

"Take it. You need greater strength to meet the challenges of the future."

Natasha gripped the test tube tightly, her heart filled with complex and intense emotions.

Grateful, shocked, moved...

There is also an indescribable sense of belonging.

She nodded vigorously and carefully put the test tube away.

"Thank you, Lin Feng."

"Alright, continue your research and improve it as soon as possible."

Lin Feng gave instructions to the two scientists.

Then, he took Natasha, who was still somewhat dazed, and left the experimental area.

.

Lin Feng led Natasha to a comfortable and quiet lounge inside the base.

The room wasn't big, but it was fully equipped and had a cozy feel.

"You can take the medicine here."

Lin Feng said.

“There might be some reactions during this process, so I’ll be here to protect you, just in case.”

Natasha felt a warmth in her heart when she saw Lin Feng's earnest gaze.

She knew that Lin Feng's so-called "protection" was not just a simple matter of standing outside the door.

With his abilities, he could very well provide energy support or stabilize the situation when she needs it.

This thoughtfulness and attention made her feel incredibly at ease.

She didn't say any more words of thanks; all her gratitude was conveyed in her eyes.

She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and planted a gentle kiss on Lin Feng's cheek.

"wait for me."

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath.
