I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 232 Tony: Artificial Intelligence... (Prepared)

no doubt.

Bucky's unresolved issue is Alexander Pierce, who treated him like a puppet and manipulated his life for decades.

As long as Alexander Pierce lives, Bucky will always have a thorn in his side.

Only by killing Alexander Pierce could he truly resolve his inner conflict.

Only then can Bucky forget the past and start a new life.

When Bucky heard that Erin was going to personally help him resolve his inner conflict, he shook his head and smiled, saying:

"Actually, you don't need to do anything. Alexander Pierce won't live much longer anyway. Before you came, Lord Joker had me send him that strange videotape. Once Alexander Pierce returns and opens the videotape, his fate will be sealed."

"And even if he doesn't open that videotape, his maid, who we've hypnotized, will open it for him."

"Although Alexander Pierce was the leader of Hydra, his body had not undergone any enhancements."

"By then, we won't even need to lift a finger; the vengeful spirit in that eerie videotape will tear Alexander Pierce to shreds."

Erin shook his head upon hearing this: "You've underestimated Alexander Pierce. You've tried to kill him repeatedly, yet he always manages to escape by some twist of fate. Is it all just a coincidence?"

It's one thing if it happens once or twice.

Three or four times? There aren't that many coincidences in this world.

Before coming, Erin had asked the Libra Space to perform a divination.

The divination predicts whether Alexander Pierce will die from the bizarre videotape.

The result of this divination was—no!

That's why.

Only after confirming Bucky's choice did Erin decide to personally take action to deal with Alexander Pierce.

I wonder if my arrival caused this world to change.

Or perhaps the world is simply not as simple as I imagined.

After Erin traveled through time...

They experienced many things that never happened in the original work.

After Iron Man tore open the curtain on the extraordinary world, it was as if the world went berserk, with all sorts of extraordinary events occurring frequently, and even all sorts of bizarre events rapidly increasing.

It's as if something eerily has resurfaced.

In this situation, to avoid any unforeseen complications, Erin thought it best for Alexander Pierce to die sooner rather than later.

otherwise.

Who knows what kind of thing this guy, hiding behind the scenes and controlling huge resources, will use to deal with me next?

·····················

of course.

Alexander Pierce has been spending his days at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters lately, so even if Erin wanted to kill him, he wouldn't choose to do it during the day.

therefore.

After confirming Alexander Pierce's thoughts.

Erin then left Miracle Tower.

For Erin.

The target tonight is to assassinate Alexander Pierce.

Before that, he still has a lot to do.

After leaving Miracle Building, Erin drove directly to Stark Tower in the heart of Manhattan.

Before coming.

Erin then called Pepper.

So after identifying herself, Erin was warmly led to the CEO's office in Stark Tower by a receptionist with a sweet smile.

I knocked gently on the door, and the receptionist stood respectfully outside, saying, "President Potts, Mr. Erin has arrived."

"Please come in!"

Upon hearing the sounds coming from inside the office, the friendly receptionist opened the office door for Erin.

After Erin entered the office, she tactfully closed the office door.

To Erin's surprise.

Inside the president's office of Stark Industries.

Apart from Pepper.

Tony Stark, who looked somewhat pale, was also there.

Upon seeing Arryn, Tony Stark took a sip of juice saturated with chlorophyll and joked, "Look who's here, a rare guest indeed."

"Tony!"

Pepper glared at Tony, then stood up and walked over to Erin. After straightening the wrinkles on Erin's collar, she said with satisfaction, "Not bad. Looks like I should have picked out a few formal suits for you sooner. This outfit is much more handsome than your previous one. No wonder Helen called me yesterday saying her precious daughter was about to be tricked by some little devil!"

After listening to Pepper's words, and recalling the relationship between Aunt Pepper and Ms. Helen.

Erin touched his nose and said, "Actually, Gwen has already agreed to be my girlfriend."

"Yeah?"

Hearing this, Pepper's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Next time you're free, I'll treat you and your girlfriend to dinner. Oh, by the way..."

He was only halfway through his sentence.

Pepper turned around and took two concert tickets from her desk drawer.

"These are tickets to Mr. Robert's concert. I just didn't have time, so I'm giving them to you. Sometimes taking your girlfriend to a concert is a great experience."

After saying that, Pepper winked at Erin.

Before Erin could react.

Tony Stark, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at the two tickets in Erin's hand!

As one of the world's most famous music masters, tickets to Robert's concerts are extremely difficult to obtain even among the upper class. Tony managed to snag these two tickets with great difficulty using his financial resources.

Before Pepper and I could even see it, Pepper had already given it to Erin.

Although Pepper declined his invitation with the two concert tickets, citing a host of other matters at Stark Industries.

Tony was still annoyed to see that the tickets he had worked so hard to buy had been given to Erin by Pepper.

Of course, Tony's displeasure was directed at Erin.

Neither Pepper nor I have been to this concert yet!

You two little brats got off easy.

Because of Pepper, Tony was somewhat annoyed, but he didn't show it.

After handing the concert tickets to Erin, Pepper asked, "On the phone earlier, you said you needed my help with something. What happened?"

"I have something I'd like to ask Aunt Pepper for help with."

At this point, Erin glanced at Tony Stark, who was sitting on the sofa next to him looking rather deflated, and continued, "Of course, it's good that Mr. Stark is here too. I also have something I'd like you to do for me."

"Wow, Mr. Stark! That's quite a rare address. I've never heard such a respectful title used on your nephew before, except today."

With a slightly exaggerated tone, Tony Stark, realizing his dissatisfaction and recalling that he still owed Arryn several life-saving favors, added, "For the sake of being called Mr. Stark, I'll help you with what you're asking for later."

to be frank.

Tony Stark, who had been saved by Arryn several times, was wondering how to repay Arryn's kindness in saving him each time.

As a major shareholder of both Osborn Corporation and Stark Industries, Erin has no shortage of money.

This rendered Tony's money power ineffective.

Not long ago, Tony, who had been racking his brains for a long time without finding a good solution, even thought of hosting a lavish banquet and inviting a large group of beautiful women to give Erin a taste of the good life.

But as soon as he showed this tendency, he received a stern warning from Pepper.

She said that if Tony dared to lead her nephew astray, she would never forgive him.

Under Pepper's warning.

Tony had no choice but to suppress the thought.

Before Erin arrived, Tony was asking Pepper, "What are Erin's likes and dislikes?"

Unexpectedly, before Pepper could answer, Erin called to ask for Pepper's help.

That's what I heard.

Tony, who now spends most of his time searching for palladium substitutes, waited for Arryn for half a day at Stark Tower.

··········

Arryn nodded after hearing Tony Stark's promise.

"In that case, that would be perfect. I recently bought a newly built building in Hell's Kitchen and started a company. I've almost finished building the company's security system, except for a strong network firewall. I'm sure that won't be a problem for Mr. Stark."

Although Erin himself has excellent programming skills, he has no experience in building a large firewall on his own.

Once their own restorative wax is released to the market, it will inevitably attract the attention of many people.

In this world brimming with cutting-edge technology, Erin can't guarantee that among the world's top hackers, there aren't any freaks who could breach the Miracle Building's network firewall.

and so.

Erin, who didn't want the Miracle Tower's network to be hacked, came directly to us.

Tony Stark, who designed Jarvis early on, is undoubtedly a genius in the field of artificial intelligence.

With his skills, the cybersecurity system he builds will definitely be much stronger than Erin's own.

When Erin mentioned that he had bought a building in Hell's Kitchen, Tony started fiddling with the tablet next to him.

Within seconds, photos and the latest information about Miracle Building appeared on Tony Stark's computer.

Looking at the Miracle Building on the computer screen, which looked no smaller than Stark Tower, Tony shook his head and said, "Firewall? One firewall won't meet the requirements of your Miracle Corporation. Fine, I'll just copy a Jarvis subroutine for you."

"At that time, you will only need to install a few supercomputers in your own computer room to have your own artificial intelligence."

"Believe me, an artificial intelligence with powerful computing capabilities can not only help you block malicious attacks from the internet, but also help you handle a lot of trivial work matters."

Ok?

Tony Stark has become so generous, sending me an AI right away.

After scrutinizing Tony Stark with a strange look for a moment, Erin said uncertainly, "You're really being generous by giving me an AI? What if this AI has some backdoor or vulnerability?"

Tony Stark, who had been all smiles and waiting for Arryn to be moved to tears, froze on his face upon hearing this.

Good guy.

If it weren't to repay the life-saving grace you gave me, would I have bothered to give you an artificial intelligence?

Backdoors and vulnerabilities?

Why would I, Iron Man, need to care about something as trivial as a little kid like you?

next second.

Tony Stark, his face turning ashen with anger, retorted irritably, "Why would I need to leave any backdoors or vulnerabilities? Take it or leave it."

"Yes, of course I want it."

Arryn, having tested Tony Stark with his psychic field and not sensing any malice from him, immediately confirmed this.

Since Tony Stark had no malicious intent and did not leave any backdoors or vulnerabilities in the subroutine copied from Jarvis,

How could Erin possibly miss such a free opportunity to acquire artificial intelligence?

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark snorted coldly and simply turned his head away, ignoring Arlin who had taken his kindness for granted.

Seeing this, Erin didn't take it to heart.

He turned to Pepper and said, "Aunt Pepper, you know I don't have much experience managing a company, and I haven't even graduated high school yet, so I need an executive director to help me run the company."

"I don't know anyone in HR who has this ability, so I'm here today to ask you to recommend a suitable candidate."

"Of course, if Aunt Pepper is willing to come, that would be best. I own the entire company, and I promise not to interfere with any of your decisions. Don't underestimate that company just because it's newly established. I've already developed several groundbreaking products, and its future will definitely be no less impressive than Stark Industries."

Tony Stark, who had turned his head away in anger, was furious when he heard Erin poach Pepper from his company, inviting her to join his newly established firm.

Tony immediately panicked.

Although a lot has happened recently, by sheer coincidence, Tony and Pepper's relationship has broken through the barrier and officially become a couple.

In this situation, how could Tony allow his future wife to work for another man?

Tony wouldn't be worried if it were someone else trying to poach him, but Erin is Pepper's nephew, and who knows if Pepper might do something irrational because of family ties.

So, before Pepper could answer, Tony jumped out in a panic and shouted:

"impossible!"

"Don't even think about it, you brat. Pepper is the president of Stark Industries. She's not going to work for your little company."

"It's no less impressive than Stark Industries. Do you even know how much Stark Industries is worth right now?"

"8900 billion, a full 8900 billion US dollars, and that number is still rising. Before long, Stark Industries will become the world's first trillion-dollar company. Your newly established little company wants to compare with Stark Industries? Dream on!"

"Of course, most importantly, I've confessed my feelings to Pepper. Now Pepper is not only the president of Stark Industries, but also my girlfriend."

"In short, there's no way he'd give up being the president of Stark Industries to go to your little company. Just give up on that idea."
