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

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Rescue

Mark handed the banknotes to the girl, left his home address, and then turned and left.

"Mark, should I follow them and take a look?"

A bodyguard who came out with Mark gave a reminder.

He was clearly worried that the girl had taken the money and run away.

"Need not!"

Mark shook his head and refused.

The girl was too vigilant; if she realized she was being followed, it would damage the trust that Mark and she had just built.

Moreover, if Mark could use $1 to test the other party's character, it would be well worth it.

The next morning, all the residents of the Clem neighborhood knew what had happened the night before, and there was an uproar.

"Damn it! These Ironbloods are too lawless, daring to send people to attack the Weston family!"

"Rosalie is so kind. Luckily she sent her family's bodyguards over, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"..."

While everyone was cursing the Mexicans for their lack of discipline, they also praised the Mark family for sending people to help the Weston family.

After all, everyone hopes to have such a kind neighbor who will step forward to help when their home is in danger.

Afterwards, Mrs. Weston and her husband also came to express their gratitude with gifts.

It's the weekend, and Rosalie and Mark are both at home.

"Rosalie, thank you! If it weren't for your bodyguards, my husband and I would have been meeting our maker last night!"

Mrs. Weston held Rosalie's hand, thanking her repeatedly with gratitude.

"You're too kind. We're neighbors, it's only right that we help each other."

Rosalie responded with a smile.

Shortly after the two left, Mrs. Kane, who worked on the community board, arrived.

"Rosalie, the board has heard about what happened last night and has decided to invite you to join the community committee as a member. Would you be willing?"

Mrs. Kane asked with a smile.

"Ah, but you know I'm an actor, and I have to go out to work, so I'm afraid I don't have time..."

Rosalie was somewhat tempted, but still hesitated before speaking.

Joining the community committee would allow Rosalie to participate in and make decisions on various community affairs, which would give her a certain status and position in the community, so she was naturally very willing to join.

But she's constantly busy with film offers and doesn't really have much time to participate in committee affairs.

“It’s alright, Rosalie, you can serve as an honorary member without having to handle any day-to-day affairs.”

Hearing Mrs. Kane say this, Rosalie finally agreed with relief.

Rosalie was still somewhat agitated after Mrs. Kane left.

She used to rent apartments and wasn't even eligible to attend community meetings, let alone join the community committee.

Those community committee members were important figures to her at the time, and they could kick her out of the community at any time.

Rosalie never imagined she would one day become a community committee member.

"Mark, something's amiss!"

Mark, who was sitting in front of his computer writing a program, heard Alice's reminder.

He put down the keyboard and looked at the large screen on the wall.

Through footage captured by the drone, he saw the magician girl he had met the night before, pulling a little girl of about five or six years old as they ran wildly through an alley not far from Clem Street.

In her other hand, the little girl was clutching a teddy bear tightly—the same one Mark had seen the night before.

Dozens of meters behind them, two burly Latino men in black suits were quickly chasing after them.

"Boom boom boom!"

The magician girl would occasionally turn around and throw out bursts of fireworks at the two burly men behind her.

Although the fireworks weren't fatal, they left the two covered in soot, with most of their hair and eyebrows singed.

"Sean, go to the alley east of Colin Street and pick up the two girls. Also, help them deal with the trouble behind them."

Mark gave instructions to Sean, the bodyguard on duty, via walkie-talkie.

"Okay, Mark."

Sean nodded, grabbed his pistol, and quickly headed to the location Mark had indicated.

By the time Sean arrived, the two burly Latina men had already grabbed the magician girl and the little girl beside her, one each.

The doll that was originally in the little girl's hand fell into the drainage ditch next to her.

"Snapped!"

The burly man holding the magician girl felt the burning pain on his face and slapped her hard across the face, cursing, "You filthy bitch, you dare burn me? You freak who can generate electricity! If it weren't for the boss's orders to keep you alive, I would have shot you dead already!"

The magical girl's mouth was bleeding from the blow, but she didn't utter a sound, only staring fiercely at her opponent.

Her abilities require focused concentration to be unleashed, and now her opponent clearly won't give her another chance.

"Wow, big sister..."

The little girl next to her, who was being held by another burly man, burst into tears in fright.

"Let her go!"

The magical girl turned to look at the burly man holding the little girl, her eyes growing even fiercer.

"Hmph! Our boss said he wanted to see you all, and not one of you can be missing. Now come with us!"

The burly man holding the girl snorted coldly and prepared to leave with his companions, dragging both women away.

"do not move!"

Just then, Sean appeared at the alley entrance, drew his pistol, and pointed it at the two burly men.

The two men's expressions changed; they hadn't expected anyone to suddenly appear in this secluded, deserted alley.

"Friend, we are from the Latin community, please give us some face and don't meddle in our business."

The burly man who was holding the girl revealed his identity.

"I don't care what gang you're from! Put your person down and get out of here, or you're dead!"

Sean snorted and reached out to cock the gun.

He had absolutely no sympathy for these two scumbags who kidnapped the girl.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the two burly Latino men changed.

Although they had guns on their waists, before they could even take them out of their holsters, the enemy had already killed them several times over!

The two men had no choice but to give in, putting down the two girls they were holding and turning away angrily.

"Mark sent me to rescue you. Come with me!"

Seeing that the two girls he had rescued were wary of him, Sean immediately revealed his identity.

The magician girl suddenly realized why Sean had appeared there so coincidentally.

Thank you!

She thanked Mark, feeling grateful for his help in rescuing her and her sister.

The little girl next to her squatted down, picked up the teddy bear from the drain, and wiped the stains off it with a pained expression.

The magical girl stepped forward, took her hand, and followed Sean away.

The three quickly returned to Clem Street and went into Mark's house.

"Huh, who are you...?"

Rosalie looked surprised when she saw Sean bring two unfamiliar girls, one big and one small, into the yard.

“Mom, she’s an employee I hired, and this is her sister.”

Mark briefly introduced the girls' identities, noticing that they were all dirty and smelled bad. He then said to Rosalie, "Could you please arrange a place for them to stay first, and then take them to take a bath and change their clothes?"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Iron-Blooded Gang's Revenge

An hour later, the magician, having finished her bath, led the little girl back to the living room.

Neither of them had brought a change of clothes, so Rosalie dressed the magical girl in one of her own clothes, while the little girl next to her wore one of Mark's clothes, which looked to fit her well.

"Tell me your names, your backgrounds, and why those people were chasing you."

Mark asked the two to sit down on the sofa opposite him.

Having noticed that the magical girl was still wary of him, Mark didn't ask any further questions.

Now that I've just sent people to rescue the sisters and brought them to my home, they shouldn't have anything to hide anymore.

"My name is Li Qianhuan, my English name is Jubileesin Lee, and this is my younger sister, Li Qianle..."

After a slight hesitation, the magical girl told Mark about her and her sister's origins.

Li Qianhuan's parents are wealthy businessmen who immigrated from Hong Kong. They used to live in Beverly Hills, a well-known affluent area in Los Angeles, and owned a biological research company.

Two years ago, her company suddenly went bankrupt, and her parents were subsequently murdered at home. She was the only one who escaped by chance while playing with her younger sister in a nearby park.

Then she and her sister were sent to an orphanage.

After spending three months in the orphanage, Li Qianhuan suddenly escaped from the orphanage with her younger sister.

She didn't say the specific reason, so Mark didn't ask any further.

He finally confirmed that Li Qianhuan was indeed the Chinese-American mutant girl in the Marvel universe who could control plasma.

Li Qianhuan later met Wolverine, and their relationship became as close as father and daughter, turning the tough guy into a doting father.

"The people who were chasing us were from the Latin gang. For the past two years, I've been investigating my parents' death, and I eventually found out it was the Latin gang. After they found out, they kept sending people to hunt down my sister and me..."

Li Qianhuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mark and said, "If you're worried that we'll cause you trouble, we can leave now."

"No need for that."

Mark waved his hand dismissively: "Now that you're an employee I employ, I'll naturally protect you and your sister's safety."

Li Qianhuan has great potential for development. Compared to recruiting such a talent, offending a mere local gang is insignificant.

"Then what can I do for you?"

Li Qianhuan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked.

"Afterwards, I will have Alice teach you some knowledge about electromagnetism, plasma physics, and other related topics to help you develop your own abilities in the future. In your spare time, you will be responsible for cooling and heat dissipation for the supercomputer in the computer room."

Mark explained his plans for Li Qianhuan's future work.

The supercomputer at home generates a lot of heat every day, so we really need to assign someone to be in charge of it.

Who is Alice?

Li Qianhuan asked in confusion, assuming that this was a tutor that Mark had arranged for her.

"Alice, come out and say hello to them!"

As Mark's voice faded, the large screen on the wall lit up, and Alice's image appeared on it.

"Hello, I'm Alice, it's nice to meet you."

Alice waved cheerfully and greeted the two women.

Li Qianhuan looked surprised, not expecting that Alice, whom Mark had mentioned, was such a human-like intelligent program.

"Alice, record their information and classify them as Level 2 privilege holders."

Mark gave the order.

As the number of people in the family increased, Mark divided everyone in the family into different privilege holders.
