American comic: The Succubus Sovereign, Gwen throws herself into his arms at the beginning.

how many years?

Since leaving the Red House and becoming a cold-blooded secret agent, she has long been accustomed to wrapping her heart in a thick layer of ice.

Flirting and seduction were merely tools for her to accomplish her mission. No one had ever been able to so easily break down her defenses with just a single sentence, making her reveal such genuine panic.

Lin Tian looked into Natasha's blue eyes, which had suddenly become somewhat confused and helpless, and the corners of his mouth curved into a more pronounced smile.

He likes this feeling.

Watching this Black Widow, known for her calm and deadly nature, reveal a woman's instinctive reaction in front of him.

He neither approached nor retreated, but maintained this extremely ambiguous distance, gazing at her quietly with his deep eyes that seemed to see into her soul.

His gaze was not filled with naked desire or calculation like those of other men, but rather with a pure appreciation, a clear understanding, and even a hint of barely perceptible tenderness.

It was this complex look in her eyes that made Natasha even more confused and disoriented.

"Who...who are you?" Natasha finally found her voice, but it was dry and hoarse, lacking its usual coldness and sharpness.

"Does it matter who I am?" Lin Tian chuckled softly, reaching out to gently brush a stray strand of red hair from Natasha's cheek with his fingertips, the movement as tender as a lover's whisper. "What matters is that I know who you are, Natasha Romanov. I know the weariness beneath your hard exterior, I know your struggles in the dead of night, I know what you yearn for deep within your heart."

Natasha flinched, abruptly taking a step back to distance herself from Lin Tian, ​​her eyes regaining their wariness and coldness: "You investigated me?!"

"Investigation?" Lin Tian shook his head, as if he had heard something amusing. "I don't need an investigation. Your soul, your aura, every subtle emotional fluctuation of yours are as clear to me as stars in the night."

He spoke in a way that seemed unbelievable, yet his tone was as calm as if he were stating a fact, carrying a chilling confidence and a sense of authenticity.

Natasha's heart began to pound.

Spiritual perception? Mind reading? Or something even more terrifying?

“What do you want? S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets? Or…” Natasha tried to steer the conversation back to her area of ​​expertise, using self-interest to gauge the other party’s motives.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Lin Tian scoffed, as if he had heard something insignificant. "Those mortal tricks are meaningless to me."

His gaze locked onto Natasha again, his eyes becoming intense and direct, full of aggression, yet possessing a fatal attraction.

“I’ve said it before, what I want is you.” He slowly stepped forward, closing the distance between them once more. “Your power, your soul, your everything… will be the most exquisite offering in this world.”

Offerings?!

Natasha's heart sank, and a chill ran down her spine.

This man is definitely not a good person!

The way he looked at me was like... like he was looking at a precious treasure that was about to be added to my possession!

but why?

Why is it that even knowing his purpose is so evil, there is still a trace of uncontrollable tremor deep in my heart?

Is it because of his irresistible charm?

Or was it because of his all-knowing gaze that she felt she had nowhere to hide in front of him, and instead developed a strange sense of being understood?

“I am not anyone’s sacrifice.” Natasha gritted her teeth, forcing herself to calm down and adopting a defensive stance.

"Hehe..." Lin Tian chuckled softly, his laughter melodious, yet it made Natasha feel even more threatened. "You will be, Natasha. Willingly become mine."

He said nothing more, nor did he make any further movements.

He gave Natasha a deep look, his eyes seeming to say that we would meet again soon, and then his figure vanished into thin air like ink merging into water!

Without any energy fluctuations or spatial distortions, it simply vanished abruptly and completely!

Natasha's pupils constricted sharply!

Instant teleportation?! Or some more sophisticated stealth technique?!

She immediately rushed to the window and looked downstairs, but there was no one there!

She quickly checked every corner of the room and activated all the anti-stealth and energy detection devices, but found nothing!

Lin Tian is like a true ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace!

Natasha leaned helplessly against the wall, feeling a deep sense of defeat and fear.

This man was completely beyond her comprehension and beyond the scope of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ability to handle!

He sneaked into his safe house, easily found the most confidential items, and even disappeared right in front of him!

This is no longer a provocation, this is blatant contempt!

He seemed to be telling her in this way: your defenses, your weapons, your organization, are all insignificant in front of me.

What terrified Natasha the most was...

She discovered that, deep down, she didn't completely reject his earlier statement that he was willing to become hers.

That thought, like a venomous snake, flickered in her heart.

"I'm going crazy, I must be going crazy..." Natasha shook her head violently, trying to drive Lin Tian's image and those seductive whispers out of her mind.

But she knew it was all in vain.

That man had already taken root and sprouted in her heart like a seed.

Chapter Nineteen: Poisoned by someone named Lin Tian, ​​and the poison has seeped into his bones.

The day after the safe house incident, Natasha returned to Trident headquarters in a daze.

She submitted a carefully worded and heavily edited report, mentioning only that the safe house had been invaded by unknown means, and Lin Tian's apparent ability to teleport or perform advanced stealth, while reiterating the extreme danger posed by the other party.

As for Lin Tian's words and his unsettling confession, she subconsciously kept them to herself.

She told herself that this was to avoid causing unnecessary panic and speculation.

But deep down, she knew that she just didn't want others to know how much influence that man had on her.

After listening to Natasha's verbal supplementary report, Nick Fury's single eye flashed with an unprecedented seriousness.

"Hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s highest-level safe house? Even found your secret hideout? And possesses teleportation or stealth abilities?" Fury's voice was deep. "Natasha, are you sure you're not exaggerating?"

“Sir, I swear on my career that every word I’ve said is true.” Natasha’s voice was a little hoarse. “He’s more terrifying than we imagined.”

Fury fell silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of weariness and warning.

“Natasha, I know this mission is very stressful for you. But you must remember that you are one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s top agents, and your rationality and judgment are of paramount importance.”

He paused, his gaze sharpening as he looked at Natasha: "That Lin Tian is clearly targeting you. He's manipulating you, trying to sway your mind. You must remain vigilant and not be fooled by his words or actions. Otherwise..."

Fury didn't finish his sentence, but the warning he conveyed was clear.

“I understand, sir.” Natasha lowered her head, avoiding Fury’s gaze.

"Temporarily cease all proactive contact with Lin Tian," Fury finally ordered. "I will mobilize other resources and try to find a breakthrough from other angles. You need to rest for a while and adjust your state."

“I don’t need to rest!” Natasha immediately retorted, her tone somewhat agitated. “I can still…”

“That’s an order, Agent Romanov!” Fury interrupted her, his tone turning stern. “Until you’ve completely calmed down, you are forbidden from participating in any operations related to Lin Tian!”

Natasha's lips moved, but she ultimately remained silent, though a hint of resentment and a deeper sense of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Leaving Fury's office, Natasha felt like a lost ghost.

Fury's orders, ostensibly for protection, were in reality an expression of distrust.

Did he realize it? Did he realize that he had developed feelings for Lin Tian that he shouldn't have?

Natasha felt a surge of irritation.

She tried to shift her attention to other things.

She reviewed Gwen Stacy's recent activity reports.

Since the Green Goblin incident, Ghost Spider's activities have become more frequent and high-profile, making him a new hero in the eyes of New York City residents.

The report mentions that Gwen's abilities seem to be steadily increasing, and she is becoming more and more agile and nimble.

Watching the figure on the screen, dressed in black and white armor, nimbly traversing the night sky, Natasha felt a strange surge of jealousy.

Is it because Gwen and Lin Tian live so close?

Is it because Lin Tian seems to have a special feeling for Gwen?

Was the mysterious power that helped Gwen deflect the attack really Lin Tian?

What is the relationship between them?

Neighbors? Master and apprentice? Or something even closer?

Thinking of this, Natasha felt as if an invisible hand was clenching her heart, sending a sharp, throbbing pain through her.

She closed Gwen's file in frustration.

She then tried to throw herself into high-intensity physical training, hoping to numb her nerves with sweat and exhaustion.

But no matter what she did, Lin Tian's handsome face, his deep eyes, and the words "What I've always wanted is you" would always uncontrollably linger in her mind.

Even during combat training, she vaguely seemed to see Lin Tian's seemingly casual yet infinitely powerful figure.

She discovered that she had been poisoned.

He was poisoned by someone named Lin Tian, ​​and the poison had seeped into his bones.

She started having insomnia.

If you close your eyes, you can picture Lin Tian sneaking into her safe house and whispering in her ear.

She even started seeing him in her dreams.

In my dreams, he was more blurry, yet more alluring.

Natasha felt like she was going crazy.

She hated this feeling of being out of control, hated that she could be so influenced by a man.

But at the same time, she couldn't suppress her desire to see him again.

Even just a glimpse from afar.

Even if it's just to hear his magical voice again.

Reason and emotion were locked in a fierce battle within her, causing her great torment.

Chapter 20: Natasha's heart was in complete turmoil.

Natasha, who was forced to take a leave of absence by Fury, felt like she was about to rot.

The idle days made her even more restless, her mind filled with images of Lin Tian.

To divert attention, she took on a relatively simple side job that required infiltration—helping an old friend investigate evidence of possible illegal transactions by a wealthy man.

The target location is a top-tier private club on New York's Upper East Side.

Tonight, a charity gala will be held there, making it a perfect opportunity to infiltrate and gather evidence amidst the diverse crowd.

Natasha dressed up carefully.

She chose a sexy black backless evening gown that accentuated her perfect, hot figure. With her bright red lips and long hair styled up, she exuded a mature and dangerous charm that would make any man turn his head.

She entered the banquet venue smoothly as an invited guest.
