American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Before Roy could answer, gasps of surprise rose from the crowd, and everyone turned to look in one direction.

Roy and Norman turned to follow the gaze of the people.

Why is he here?

Roy frowned slightly.

What drew everyone's attention and gasps was one person.

To be precise, he is a well-known billionaire and playboy.

Tony!

Wearing brown sunglasses and an expensive, bespoke suit, Tony walked straight toward Roy under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Pepper, his personal secretary and girlfriend, and Happy, his bodyguard, followed closely behind.

"I didn't expect you to be acquainted with him."

Norman continued.

After saying that, he walked towards Harry.

Not long after, Tony arrived in front of Roy.

Taking off his sunglasses, Tony said casually, "Your girlfriend graduated, but you don't seem very happy?"

"Why are you here?"

Roy asked.

"Why can't I come?"

"We're friends. Your girlfriend is graduating, and I'm here to support you."

Tony said with a smile.

Just as Roy was about to say something, Gwen came up to them and said to Tony, "Hello Mr. Stark, I'm Gwen Stacy, Roy's girlfriend. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too."

"Roy has mentioned you to me quite a bit, bragging about how he found a beautiful and intelligent girlfriend."

"Now it seems he wasn't bragging."

Tony said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing his words, Gwen's fair and delicate face lit up with an uncontrollable expression of joy.

She is often praised for her beauty and intelligence.

But receiving Tony's praise still made her very happy.

"I need to discuss some things with him privately. Would it be convenient for me to borrow your boyfriend for a while?"

Tony continued.

"sure."

"You two can talk slowly."

Gwen replied quickly.

"Thanks."

Tony nodded and gave Roy a look, signaling him to come and talk somewhere else.

"I'll be back soon. You and your uncle and aunt wait for me here."

Roy said to Gwen.

"it is good."

"Grace replied gently."

After following Tony off the lawn, Roy said to Tony, "What did you want to see me about?"

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"

"We are not just friends, but also comrades-in-arms who fought side by side."

Tony said with a smile.

"Stop beating around the bush, what exactly do you want?"

Roy rolled his eyes at Tony.

Tony deliberately put on a sad expression and continued, "I turned down other jobs and came all the way from Los Angeles to see you, but I didn't expect you to be so cold."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going back."

Roy frowned.

"Okay, okay, enough joking around."

"I did come here specifically to see you."

"About two weeks ago, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the one who's blind in one eye, came to my house late at night and said that there are many people in the world like me, I just didn't know it, and he wanted to talk to me about forming the Avengers."

"Then, they criticized my personality, saying I was fickle, self-centered, and lacked team spirit."

"By the way, he also said you should be on his invitation list, but you declined. I'd like to know if he actually contacted you?"

Even though half a month has passed, Tony still looks annoyed when Nick Fury is mentioned.

"That's right, he contacted me, and I rejected him."

Roy replied.

Why did you refuse?

Tony looked at him with a curious expression.

"I never work for free, nor do I want to be bound by some meaningless rules."

"More importantly, I don't want to follow other people's orders and have another so-called boss above me."

Roy said slowly and deliberately.

Didn't he say your personality was a problem?

Tony asked quickly.

"no."

"He wouldn't dare to criticize my personality to my face."

Roy replied.

amount……

Tony was even more annoyed with Nick Fury.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back."

Roy spoke slowly.

"Gwen is very beautiful, but you don't need to rush back to see her."

Tony first made a sarcastic remark, then continued, "I made the Mark III you wanted; you can come and pick it up anytime."

"In addition, I bought a new building in Manhattan, near the Empire State Building."

"Once the renovations are complete, that will become the new headquarters of Stark Industries."

"If you're willing, I'd like to hire you as the head of security at Stark Industries, with an annual salary of $100 million and additional bonuses every year."

"You don't need to go to work every day; you just need to fulfill your duties when needed."

"If you want to invest, I can transfer some shares to you and arrange for you to join the board of directors as a member."

Safety supervisor?

Join the board of directors?

After only a few seconds of thought, Roy made his decision and said slowly, "Forget about the security supervisor position; I don't take long-term contracts."

"As for joining the board of directors, I have a lot of liquid funds, but with Stark Industries' current stock price, I can't buy many."

Ever since Tony Stark announced that he was Iron Man, Stark Industries' stock price has soared to an all-time high and continues to rise.

"You don't need to worry about that. I won't ask you to buy it at the market price. I'll give you a transfer price that's far below the market price."

"Of course, there will be some restrictions on the sale of these shares."

"For example, if you want to sell, I have the right of first refusal, and I will acquire it at the original transfer price."

"As for voting rights and dividends, there will be no restrictions."

Tony said calmly.

Although he doesn't care much about money, he wouldn't just give away his stocks at a low price.

He is very generous, but he is not an idiot.

"You are the largest shareholder of Stark Industries, holding absolute control. Whether I join the board or not will not affect your control of the company. Why would you want me to join the board?"

Roy asked.

"If you were on the board of directors, the company would be much more stable."

"Putting everything else aside, you can solve many problems that ordinary people can't."

"By the way, becoming a director of Stark Industries will save you a lot of trouble when dealing with your girlfriend's family."

Tony said with a smile.

"I can handle Gwen's family even without being a board member of Stark Industries."

"However, since you've been so enthusiastic in inviting me to join the board of directors, I'll grant your wish."

Roy said calmly.

"You're not fulfilling my wish, you just can't refuse the gift I give you."

Tony turned to Happy and snapped his fingers at him.

Without any hesitation, Happy immediately went to them, opened his briefcase, and took out two transfer contracts.

Tony has already signed the contract.

"The contract is all prepared. Are you so confident I'll agree?"

Roy took the contract from Happy and spoke slowly.

"I told you, you can't refuse my gift."

Tony said with a serious expression.
