Chapter 8: Being plotted against
Lin Feng's question made Frank very embarrassed.
He could only say vaguely:
"Maybe the environment at that time was not good, but it doesn't matter."
"Let's talk about your business first. I know you may be in a hurry."
Lin Feng nodded and turned to look at Tony:
"Hello Tony, my name is Lin Feng."
Tony looked at Lin Feng with a probing look.
On the way back from being kidnapped, Tony also asked Frank about Lin Feng's news.
But Frank didn't know much. He just repeated to him the rumors about Lin Feng, the devil businessman.
So, in Tony's mind at this moment, Lin Feng was a bit like a street charlatan.
Tony said curiously:
"I heard Frank talk about you."
"He said that magical ability was given by you."
"I'm curious, is this fruit still available now?"
"Can you give me one? I'd really like to study how it works."
Lin Feng waved his hand and said:
"You are totally wrong in thinking this."
"I still have the fruit, and I can get you another one."
"But you want to study it. That's impossible."
"Because this fruit takes different forms in everyone's hands."
"So you can't be sure what you'll get randomly, it all depends on your luck."
"And not everyone can adapt to the devil fruit."
Lin Feng said as he took out a devil fruit from his pocket and placed it on the table.
All of a sudden, everyone present stared at that devil fruit.
Frank looked at the devil fruit with a very complicated look.
This reminded him of the moment he received his Devil Fruit.
Tony was also attracted by the devil fruit for a moment.
It can be seen that he is very excited and should be the adapter of the devil fruit.
However, Rhodes did not react at all when he saw the devil fruit.
He asked Lin Feng doubtfully:
"Hey, why does it look like an ugly pineapple and I don't feel anything special about it?"
"Are you lying?"
Tony was very surprised when he heard his words.
"What? Can't you sense the magical attraction of this fruit?"
"I can't help but want to swallow it in one gulp!"
What? Rhodes looked at Tony in surprise.
Why is there such a strange difference in their feelings about devil fruits?
Lin Feng said to them slowly:
"It seems that Mr. Rod, you are not suitable for the devil fruit."
"That's a shame."
"Only the true adaptor of the devil fruit can sense that strange attraction."
"You're not the same kind of person as Tony."
Rhodes thought for a moment and said:
"So this is actually something similar to mutant genes, right?"
"Are you also going to choose a race that corresponds to the fruit?"
Rhodes also had a certain intelligence network in the military, so he quickly associated it with a very famous mutant.
Lin Feng thought about it, then said:
"If you really want to say that, it's not impossible."
"You can call us the demon tribe for now."
"But in reality, this race doesn't exist."
Tony said to Lin Feng with a surprised look:
"Am I this so-called demon clan?"
"But I don't feel any different from other people."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes and said to him:
"The so-called demon race is just a definition. They are no different from other people."
"It just means that you can adapt to devil fruits!"
"How about it? Are you interested in trying it?"
Lin Feng said to Tony with great interest.
Tony was a little hesitant at this time. He paused for a while before asking Lin Feng:
"Can only people who are compatible with Devil Fruits use Devil Fruits?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said:
"Of course it's not like that."
"People like you who are compatible with devil fruits will be given the most suitable devil fruit for you."
"But if it doesn't fit, you can also take a fixed devil fruit to gain power."
"If that happens, the price to pay will be higher."
Tony was still hesitating, but Rhodes reminded him:
"If you haven't made up your mind yet, you can put it aside for now."
"Why don't we talk about how he knew about your kidnapping."
Rhodes actually felt that Lin Feng's motives were not pure, and the devil fruit he took out might have a complicated origin.
He planned to put the matter aside for the time being and then go back to look up the relevant information.
Wait until you have found out the truth before making a decision.
Tony glanced at him. He had known this good friend for many years and he still trusted Rhodes very much.
Therefore, although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he still agreed to Rhodes' proposal.
"That's it, let's put the matter of the fruit aside for now."
"Let's talk about my kidnapping first."
"Mr. Lin Feng, if you have any clues, I am willing to buy them from you."
"As long as it's true, it doesn't matter how much money is spent."
Lin Feng chuckled and said, Aren’t you just a sucker who has come to my doorstep?
This is what you said, so don't blame me for asking for too much when the time comes.
"Although I cannot explain the source of my information."
"But I can tell you that the person who kidnapped you this time is someone you are very close to."
"Someone you will never doubt, so you have to be mentally prepared."
The faces of everyone present changed.
Tony looked at Pepper calmly.
In his heart, the person he would never doubt was her.
However, Rhodes felt that Lin Feng was referring to something, as if he was talking about him.
So his complexion became particularly ugly.
He snorted coldly and said:
"You might as well make your words clearer and stop being a riddle man."
Lin Feng laughed:
"Look how nervous you are! I'm not talking about you!"
"I'm talking about Obadiah of Stark Industries."
"I suppose you all should know him?"
Tony was relieved to hear that it wasn't Pepper.
However, when he heard that it was Obadanya, he instinctively wanted to refute Lin Feng.
"How is that possible! He is like my own uncle."
"And he's the second-largest shareholder in Stark Industries."
"How could he do such a thing?"
Lin Feng replied calmly:
"I just said that I don't have a definite source of evidence."
"So whether it is him or not is up to you to judge for yourself."
"But let me warn you, he's not someone who will give up easily."
"Since this kidnapping attempt was unsuccessful, there is no guarantee that he will not have any follow-up measures."
"You have to think it over carefully, don't let others plot against you."
