Reborn in Marvel, I am Iron Man's son?

"This power is truly terrifying!"

Mark was amazed.

With such a powerful weapon, he finally felt a sense of security.

Mark then followed the same method and modified the remaining stun guns as well.

"Mark, someone's looking for you!"

Just then, Mark heard Rosalie shouting in the yard.

Mark put down the stun gun and walked to the back of the yard, where he saw a gentle-looking middle-aged white woman standing next to Rosalie.

She walked over and knelt down in front of Mark, saying softly, "Son, I'm Natalie Russell, a community child psychologist, and I've been invited by the NYPD to talk to you."

Mark's face fell; he knew trouble was brewing.

New York police have determined that Mark illegally modified the stun gun and used it to kill the mutant.

Although he is young and will not bear any legal responsibility, he will definitely need to receive psychological counseling for some time afterward.

Actually, Natalie didn't do anything special; she just chatted with Mark about some lighthearted topics.

For example, what games he likes to play, what his hobbies are, and what his friends are.

Mark could only pretend to be an innocent child and give the answers that a normal child would give.

Otherwise, should I tell Natalie that my hobby is modifying weapons to make them more powerful?

Natalie would occasionally pick up the pen and paper she carried with her and scribble on them, seemingly recording something.

About an hour later, Natalie said goodbye and left Mark's house.

"Phew...They're finally gone!"

Mark breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't dislike Natalie.

The other person spoke in a gentle tone throughout, without adopting a condescending or adult-like attitude, but rather treated the other person as a friend.

But Mark was getting tired of speaking in a childlike tone all the time.

However, Mark also knew that he had to get through this hurdle.

Otherwise, if Natalie were to report to the police that he has psychological problems, it would inevitably lead to stronger police intervention.

For the next three days, Rosalie prepared food and drinks to entertain the neighbors and friends who would be attending the party.

Aside from dealing with Natalie, a child psychologist, Mark spends his time sunbathing to collect sunlight and learning more about various subjects online.

Although he possesses a super brain, he still needs to continuously learn in order to truly make this knowledge his own.

He wouldn't know those things he hadn't encountered before; he couldn't acquire them out of thin air.

However, Mark learns very quickly.

He only needs to spend a few months studying diligently to master a depth of knowledge that surpasses the achievements of others who have painstakingly studied for a lifetime.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Gathering

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, the invited neighbors and Rosalie's friends began to arrive one after another.

Rosalie, with Mark by her side, stood at the gate of the yard to greet them.

"Mr. Evans, welcome to your home."

“Caroline, thank you and Mr. Louis for attending this party.”

"..."

Rosalie greeted everyone warmly.

"Rosalie, thank you for the invitation!"

"Mark looks so cute today!"

"..."

Everyone responded with smiles, presented some of the gifts they had brought, and some of the ladies couldn't resist going up to pinch Mark's cheek.

Mark was dressed in a sharp children's suit today, and with his flawless face, he was indeed very attractive to these ladies.

"Rosalie, Mark!"

At that moment, Daphne arrived and handed the gift she was carrying to Rosalie.

"Daphne, welcome!"

"Aunt Daphne."

Rosalie and Mark each went up to Daphne and gave her a hug.

"Rosalie, I really envy you. You have the money to buy a house in Hollywood."

Daphne looked around the yard in front of her and said with a look of envy.

"This is all thanks to Mark, you know, the games he makes are selling very well now."

Rosalie shrugged and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "If I relied on myself, I don't know how long it would take to save enough money to buy a house!"

Hearing Rosalie's words, Daphne became even more envious.

She had initially thought that Rosalie, as a single mother raising Mark alone, must have had a very difficult time.

That was indeed the case at the beginning.

Rosalie works as an extra during the day and takes care of Mark when she gets home from work, so she looks much more haggard.

But ever since she and Mark landed that baby formula ad, their lives have visibly improved!

Now, thanks to the games Mark made, Rosalie has spent millions to buy this house, which makes Daphne envious.

If she had a smart, cute, and good-money-making child like Mark, she would be willing to be a single mother!

The last three to arrive were friends Rosalie had met when she was an extra.

She had originally invited more than ten people.

However, most of the extras had to work overtime even on weekends to film, so they had to decline Rosalie's invitation.

"Rosalie, did you really buy this house?"

"A house like this must cost close to a million dollars, right?"

"..."

The group consisted of one man and two women. They looked at the house in front of them, somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, the transfer has been completed. Everyone is welcome to visit my home often in the future."

Rosalie nodded nonchalantly, but the smile on her lips was barely contained.

Actually, she wasn't particularly close to these extras she knew before; they were just ordinary friends, and she hadn't been in contact with some of them for two or three years.

The reason she invited these former friends to the party was simply to see their shocked and envious looks, wasn't it?

"It seems my mom still enjoys this kind of vanity as much as ever. No wonder her biggest dream is to be a star!"

Mark, standing to the side, secretly curled his lip.

But he didn't embarrass Rosalie; instead, he politely went up to greet them one by one.

"Wow! Rosalie, is this your son with Tony Stark?"

Upon seeing Mark's delicate and lovely face, the woman named Beatrice's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

Beatrice's voice was rather loud.

The other people who were talking in the courtyard turned around and looked at Rosalie and Mark.

Many people in Los Angeles have seen Rosalie and Mark's previous interview on CBS.

The people in the neighborhood who knew Rosalie were naturally curious to know if Mark was really the child of Tony Stark, the richest man in the entire Federation.

However, out of politeness and good manners, they hadn't asked rashly beforehand.

Rosalie knew Beatrice was always carefree and didn't blame her for her recklessness.

After a slight hesitation, she nodded and said, "Yes, Mark is indeed my child with him."

The Stark Industries' legal team had only warned her against speaking out of turn in public, but this was just a private party, so there was no need to worry about such things.

"That's really true!"

Upon hearing Rosalie's confirmation, Beatrice exclaimed again, looking at Mark with envy and saying, "I wish I could have such a smart and adorable child with Tony Stark!"

Rosalie and her friends were used to Beatrice's outspokenness and didn't take it to heart.

The party then began.

The group helped Rosalie move the food and drinks she had prepared in advance to the dining table in the yard.

Everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content while casually chatting in the courtyard.

"By the way, why aren't Mrs. Weston and her husband here?"

Rosalie suddenly realized that Mrs. Weston and her family seemed to be missing from the twenty-odd neighbors who had come today.

Mrs. Weston was a very kind person and she especially liked Mark, often sending him homemade muffins and beef burgers.

Rosalie had specifically invited Mrs. Weston three days ago, and she accepted; I don't know why she didn't come today.

"Oh? Yes, Mrs. Weston didn't come!"

"Mrs. Weston always loves a good time, how could she be absent?"

"..."

After Rosalie reminded them, the others realized that Mrs. Weston was not there, and they all looked surprised.

"When I arrived, I heard that Mrs. Weston seemed to have suffered an accident."

Just then, Mrs. Evans hesitated for a moment before revealing the news she had heard earlier: "This morning, Mrs. Weston was caught in a gunfight between two gangs when she went to the market in the next block. She was apparently accidentally shot and taken to the hospital."

"What?! Something's happened to Mrs. Weston!"

Upon hearing Mrs. Evans's words, everyone around them changed their expressions and exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't the area around Clem neighborhood always been quite safe? How could something like this happen?"

Rosalie also looked incredulous.

“Rosalie, you’ve been away for a while, so you may not know that a group of Mexicans have moved into the neighborhood recently. It seems they just started a gang and have been getting into frequent conflicts with other gangs lately.”

Mrs. Evans shook her head helplessly.

Residents of the Clem neighborhood rarely have contact with gangs and can only obtain information about them through casual neighborhood gossip.

"It seems things haven't been peaceful in the Clem neighborhood lately."

Mark wrote down this information.

After the party ended, he handed Faith a bank card with $100 million: "Faith, go ahead and buy the materials according to your previous plan, and completely renovate this house!"

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Magical Girl

The day after the party ended, the neighborhood organized a group of people to visit Mrs. Weston, who was hospitalized after being shot.

Rosalie and Mark went along with the other residents of the neighborhood.

Fortunately, Mrs. Weston's injury was not fatal, and she survived after being treated.

With Mrs. Weston's example in mind, the security renovations that the Mark family carried out next did not seem so out of place to the surrounding neighbors.

Rosalie applied to the neighborhood property management and, after receiving approval, immediately began construction.

With guidance from professional security personnel like Faith, the house renovation proceeded smoothly.

The entire renovation was completed in just one month.

The original iron fence was demolished and replaced with 3-meter-high and 0.5-meter-thick reinforced concrete.
