Marvel: Randomly load a protagonist template

Chapter 70 Vicious Competition

"Alright, Reed, I have a general understanding of your project. So you don't just want my money, you also want my space station."

Victor interrupted Reed's long-winded explanation of the project, saying expressionlessly:

"But even NASA doesn't believe your project can succeed, so why should I believe you?"

Hearing the embarrassed look on Reed's face, he immediately laughed and said:

"Just kidding. My talent is being able to see things that others can't, always one step ahead of them."

"Oh, I really can't stand this about him."

Ben, who was standing next to Victor, felt like punching him when he saw Victor's smug look.

Reed quickly comforted him:

"It's okay, don't be angry. This is just business, just work."

"He's right, Ben, it's just business."

Just then, a blonde woman in a women's business suit walked in with a smile from the office doorway.

"My head of genetic research, Susan Stone, you all know her."

Upon seeing the blonde beauty, Victor said to Reed and Ben with a hint of smugness.

Susan was universally acknowledged as the goddess of the university at the time, and he liked her just as much. Unfortunately, he ended up with Reed, that piece of shit.

Shortly after graduating from university, the two had a fight and broke up. He then used his intelligence and skills to expand his company and took the opportunity to invite Susan to become the manager of his company.

In college, he was always overshadowed by Reed, a perennial runner-up, and always far behind.

Now that he's successful, Reed is bankrupt and begging him for investment. Reed's girlfriend is now his girlfriend, and he's going to propose to her soon. How could he not be happy?

"The Invisible Woman, Susan Stone!"

Upon hearing Victor call out the blonde beauty's name, Hawking's eyes narrowed.

He didn't take the Invisible Woman seriously. She was quite strong, but that was about it. She could become invisible and control energy fields, but she didn't have any powerful offensive capabilities.

What he truly values ​​is the Invisible Woman's son, Franklin, the strongest mutant known as "The Gathering Power," and Marvel's strongest elementary school student.

Franklin is a natural-born Level 5 mutant with the powerful abilities to time travel, manipulate time, space, causality, alter reality, and create universes.

According to what he learned from watching short videos, Franklin seemed to have defeated the powerful Lord of Hell, Mephisto, when he was a child, and created a pocket universe while playing in bed.

Anyway, he estimates that once he fully masters his abilities as an adult, he will probably be a multiverse-level being.

If the Invisible Woman had been there with her son when Wanda invaded, it would be hard to say who would have won or lost.

"Why don't we just take her?"

At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to Hawking, but he quickly dismissed it.

Franklin's special quality is that no matter which universe he is in, no matter who the Invisible Woman marries—whether it's Doctor Doom or another woman—he will always give birth to Franklin.

In other words, if he were shameless enough to marry the Invisible Woman, their son would also be Franklin, and he would have a son from a multiverse.

But then I thought, no matter who marries the Invisible Woman, they will have Franklin. So, is Franklin still his son? Are they still related by blood?

Furthermore, marrying a woman he doesn't know for this reason doesn't align with his views on love.

If he came to the Marvel universe without any special abilities, then doing this to save his life is understandable.

But now he has the protagonist template, and his strength is constantly improving. If things go well, he might be able to transform into Super Saiyan 4 in ten or twenty years. With the help of other bloodlines, his strength will be no less than that of the Multiverse.

Franklin also seemed indifferent to who his father was or whether his father lived or died; he only cared about his mother.

"Or, introduce him to Pietro, since he likes older women anyway."

At this moment, Hawking suddenly thought of his younger brother Quicksilver. He could be his sister-in-law, and Franklin would be considered his nephew.

However, considering that Quicksilver is only fourteen and Invisible Woman looks like she's twenty-five or twenty-six, the age gap is indeed quite large.

Shadowcat could be considered a case of marrying a woman three years older than her, but Invisible Woman is ten years older. Quicksilver might be able to accept it, but Elena and Oleg wouldn't.

"Forget it, let nature take its course!"

After a moment's thought, Hawking quickly cleared his mind of these distracting thoughts.

Instead of engaging in these unorthodox practices, you should focus on improving your own strength. True strength lies in your own abilities; everything else is meaningless.

After a brief chat with his old classmates, Reed quickly got to the point to ease the awkwardness:

"Victor, if you're willing to support my plan, I'll give you a reasonable cut of all the profits!"

However, upon hearing Reed's words, Victor first revealed a hint of sarcasm, then his face beamed with an expression of absolute confidence:

"I get 75 percent of the profits, and I also want all the patent rights. The remaining 25 percent is yours."

Believe me, no one in the world would take such a big risk as me to invest in this project for you, and that 25% is more than enough for you to pay off your mortgage on Phase 4 of the Baxter Tower.

There's probably still plenty left for you to revive your bankrupt company.

He assumed Reed had nowhere else to go, which was why he came to him, so he had Reed completely under his control.

The man on the other end glared angrily at Victor.

"Victor, your demands are outrageous!"

"That's pretty outrageous. They want 70% of the profits and all the patent rights."

At this moment, Hawking, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can compete with me!"

Upon hearing Hawking's words, Victor's expression immediately changed, and he turned to look at Hawking.

And this time, Hawking formally introduced:

"Stephen Hawking, chairman of League of Legends International, also values ​​Mr. Reed's project highly. However, Mr. Reed said he had made an appointment with you first, so I came along with him."

"You? Chairman of League of Legends International?"

Similarly, looking at Hawking's unbelievably young face, Victor was filled with disbelief.

"Reed, I never expected you to be so cunning, deliberately hiring a shill to try and negotiate with me. Let me tell you..."

But before he could finish speaking, he froze on the spot, because Hawking had already put on golden armor and was floating in mid-air.

However, his reaction was also very quick; his expression changed rapidly, and he looked at Reed with a hearty laugh and said:

"Reed, for the sake of our classmate relationship, give me 60% of the patent rights!"

"Fifty percent, the patent rights to me."

Hawking returned to normal, a faint smile on his face.

"Forty percent, the patent rights, to me!"

Victor's face darkened.

"Fifty percent of the patent rights are jointly owned."

Hawking remained calm.

Upon hearing that Hawking had actually divided up the patent rights, Victor's expression changed drastically. If things continued like this, the patent rights might be gone soon.

"Mr. Hawking, I think we can talk privately. There's no need for this disgusting competition."
