Chapter 14 Could he really be your illegitimate child? "Is this the artificial intelligence you created?" Peter asked knowingly, looking at the mechanical arm in front of him. "Yes, his name is Jarvis, and he is my right-hand man at work. By the way, is the artificial intelligence you want to create also like this?" "I do want to, but with my ability, I'm afraid I can't make such an advanced thing. I'm just playing around." Peter said very modestly. "That's true. Jarvis is my masterpiece. It is the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world. There is no doubt about that." Tony Stark is full of confidence in the artificial intelligence Jarvis. This is not only confidence in Jarvis, the artificial intelligence, but also confidence in his own technological strength, even to the point of arrogance and conceit. However, when Peter heard Tony Stark say this, he felt that this was in line with Tony Stark's personality. After all, Tony Stark is a technological genius, and he also has billions of assets. With such conditions, if he is not conceited, who would be? If he were in such a situation, he would probably become even more arrogant and even lawless.
As a super rich second-generation, Tony Stark has not become a madman like A-Zu and done evil things everywhere. He is already considered to be kind-hearted. Some people even accuse Tony Stark of being self-centered and arrogant. I don’t know what they are thinking. "Mr. Tony is right. When it comes to technology, who in this world can be your rival?" Peter complimented with a smile. If it was an ordinary person saying this, he would not even want to pay attention to him. But Tony Stark is a different story. After all, someone just gave him a valuable atomic chip, so he still has to give him some face. "Haha, you don't need to belittle yourself. I've read your paper and I'm impressed by its contents. I don't believe that anyone who can participate in the research of cross-species gene fusion technology is a fool. You just need some time to continue to grow." After being flattered by Peter, Tony Stark couldn't help but look at Peter more and more favorably. He didn't know why, but the young man in front of him made him feel inexplicably close to him, as if there was some bond between them. It was really strange. "Thank you, I'll try my best!" Peter shrugged. "Well, believe in yourself. By the way, besides the atomic chip, do you need any other help? Like a job or something?" Tony asked casually. Hearing this, Peter looked at him in surprise, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just read your information, so I know a little bit about your experiences. So, maybe I can give you a job or something, so that you can live a little easier. What do you think?" Peter didn't expect that this self-centered playboy would be so kind, which was beyond his expectations. But when he thought of Tony Stark in another parallel universe putting on the Infinity Gauntlet and snapping his fingers in order to save the world regardless of danger, he understood. Being self-centered, not caring about other people's feelings, and being arrogant, these character flaws have become reasons to criticize Tony Stark. But hidden beneath these seemingly bad shortcomings is a heart that is gentler and more righteous than anyone else. Otherwise, he would not be able to become the Iron Man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with gods in a mortal body. "Mr. Tony, I appreciate your kindness. I'm actually living a pretty good life now. And with the chip you gave me, I think I'll live an even better life in the days ahead, so I don't need to work." Peter said with gratitude. Since Aunt May passed away, Tony Stark in front of him is one of the few people who takes the initiative to care about him, and he will remember this kindness. "Okay, in that case, I won't say anything, but if you have any difficulties in the future, you can continue to look for me."
"Thank you. Now that the matter has been settled, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye, Mr. Tony Stark." Now that the most important atomic chip was in hand, it was time for him to get the other two materials. As he said this, he left Tony Stark's villa. Looking at Peter's departing back, Boci, who had not interrupted their conversation, walked in and said, "This is the first time I've seen you care so much about a young person." "Really?" Tony Stark shrugged, picked up the glass and took a sip. "Of course he did. He gave me chips and introduced me to a job. If you didn't know, you would think he was your illegitimate child!" "That's not so exaggerated. I'm just here to thank my lifesaver! If he hadn't been there last night, my head would have been chopped off." "Thank you, but your attitude towards him is obviously different from that towards others. Could he really be your illegitimate child?" "How is that possible! Peter is 25 years old and I am 35. If he is my illegitimate child, I would have given birth to him when I was ten years old. Do you think it is possible? When I was ten, my hair hadn't even grown out yet." Tony Stark said unhappily. "Who knows? Isn't love affair what you are best at?" Faced with Tony Stark's explanation, Boze was dismissive. Although she is only Tony Stark's assistant in name, she is actually Tony Stark's true virtuous wife. Even Tony Stark, the boss, sometimes has to act according to her mood. In this world, she is probably the only one who can achieve this level in the position of assistant. "Ok ok, I can't argue with you, I surrender, okay?" "I kicked the female model out last night, and threw out all the bed sheets and quilts. It’s better to bring less of this kind of stuff into the house in the future, otherwise it will be bad if someone really chops your head off.” Boci reminded. "Um, I promise it won't happen again." Hearing Boci's complaint, Tony nodded slightly embarrassedly and quickly went upstairs. "This is the 99th time you have promised this!" Looking at Tony running away, Boz sighed helplessly. Although she is Tony's all-around assistant, she has always been helpless when it comes to playing with women. Fortunately, the other person is not her boyfriend, so she can only remind him that some things cannot be said too much, otherwise it will cross the line. After leaving Tony Stark's villa, Peter put on a brand new cartoon mask and disappeared. When he appeared again, he had come to the largest underground exchange in New York. The location of this exchange is the most famous chaotic place in New York, which is called Hell's Kitchen. Under the cover of night, the dirty and filthy streets are filled with all kinds of characters, including drug addicts lying on the muddy ground smoking drugs, gangsters armed with weapons fighting wantonly in the streets, and street prostitutes swaying their hot bodies. This block is a chaotic place in Manhattan, but it is also a den of luxury for powerful people. As long as you have money, you can experience the joy of being a superior person here. Of course, it can only be one, because most of the time, after one move you will completely fall into the abyss and there will be no recovery. This is no joke, because Hell's Kitchen has always been a dark abyss, and in this abyss lurks a giant beast - Kingpin. Yes, Hell's Kitchen is the territory of the underworld king, Kingpin. If Kingpin knew that the main culprit who robbed him of millions of dollars dared to come to his territory, what would he think? He would probably want to eat him. Peter, wearing a mask, walked in the chaotic neighborhood. His slightly alternative outfit matched the surrounding environment very well. A normal person who came here would definitely be noticed. But abnormal people have a smooth journey here and feel like fish in water. This is weird, but also very normal. "This must be the taste of freedom!" Looking at the mixed environment around him, Peter opened his arms with full of playfulness. As he spoke, he walked into an underground market, which was the so-called underground exchange.
The reason why the underground exchange is called "underground" is naturally because the things sold here are basically not allowed to be sold outside. There is no need to mention the common ones such as pornography, gambling and drugs, they are definitely there. In addition to the usual contraband, there are also items such as arms, human organs, special materials, etc. Peter came here just for the special materials. In fact, after killing Kurt last night, he came here secretly and negotiated a business deal with a boss. He came here just to pick up the goods. Walking into a shop in the underground exchange, a middle-aged man with tattoos all over his body saw Peter coming. He put out the cigarette in his hand and then pulled down the rolling door with ease. "Where is what I want?" Peter asked in a hoarse voice. Hearing this, the middle-aged man pointed to a large wooden box in the corner and said, "The 200 kilograms of military titanium alloy and simulated skin you asked for are all in it." As the man spoke, he opened the wooden box and showed the contents to Peter. After spending some time inspecting the goods, Peter nodded with satisfaction and then threw a few stacks of banknotes and a note with an address on the table. "Send all these things to this address. I don't want anyone to see me, so it's best to do it before dark. I think now is a good time." In fact, military titanium alloy and simulated skin can also be purchased through regular channels, but this will undoubtedly leave a purchase record, and Peter does not want others to know, so he gets these things through the black market. The address he wrote was just an abandoned factory. After delivering the goods, he would just drive away. As for why it is not dragged away now, the main reason is that dragging a large wooden box is too eye-catching and will easily cause unnecessary trouble. "Understood! I'll arrange someone to do it right away. If you need anything in the future, just come to me." The middle-aged man counted the money, and when he found that there was nothing wrong, a smile appeared on his face. In this place, whoever has money is the boss, and this is an unchanging truth. "If you want to do my repeat business, you'd better keep your mouth shut, otherwise your life might be in danger." After saying this, Peter turned around and left. Just as he opened the shutter door and walked out of the shop, a group of people came towards him. This group of people had cold expressions. Wherever they passed, people automatically made way for them. They looked like they were not to be trifled with. Walking in front was a middle-aged man with a big beard. Looking at this middle-aged man, Peter had a sense of déjà vu. He seemed to have seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for a while. At this moment, the shop owner standing behind him whispered, "I advise you to look away. He is Ulysses Klaue, a famous arms dealer and a friend of our local gangster, Kingpin." "Ulysses Klaue? So that's why he's so majestic!" When Peter heard the name Ulysses Klaue, he finally remembered. He remembered that when he first traveled to this world, a gang gun fight broke out on the streets of New York. Among the participants at that time was a guy named Ulysses Klaue. The reason why he felt familiar was that Peter had seen this guy's portrait in a newspaper before. But that happened more than ten years ago, and I didn’t expect that after so many years, this guy has not been arrested yet. However, when he thought about the character of the New York police, he felt relieved. It was simply a pipe dream to expect a police station that had been infiltrated by gangsters to catch a lawless arms dealer like Ulysses Klaue. Looking at Ulysses Klaue who was walking away quickly, a hint of curiosity appeared on Peter's face under the mask. As a famous arms dealer in the Marvel world, this guy has never done anything without profit. His appearance in Hell's Kitchen at this moment must mean something important. He had just clearly seen that guy holding a long black box in his hand. According to his guess, there should be something extraordinary in it. In addition, the direction he was heading at was obviously the Jin Bing Building not far away, so the black box should contain the goods he sold to Jin Bing.
Even if it is not a cargo, it should be something given to Jin Bing. As soon as he thought of this, a bold idea immediately came to his mind. His original plan was to deal with Jin Bing, the underworld emperor. But at this moment, he happened to come across such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he naturally could not miss it. Kingpin is a wealthy and powerful person, and he cannot bring him down for the time being, but he can easily take down someone like Ulysses Klaue who has no super powers. So, he didn't think about it any further and followed quickly without saying a word. He wanted to take a good look at what was in the black box. If it is something valuable, he doesn't mind taking some risks to snatch it away. After all, if it belongs to his enemy, he would rather rob it than not! (End of this chapter)
