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

Chapter Fifty-One: The "Confession" Situation

"Woo~ Waa~ Woo~ Waa~"

Just then, more than ten police cars and ambulances rushed into the InterContinental Hotel and stopped outside the lobby.

The entire hotel lobby was quickly cordoned off by the police, who then questioned everyone present one by one.

"Officer, I saw Lucas suddenly go berserk, so I took my son and left the lobby quickly. Then the power went out, and I don't know what happened after that."

Rosalie told the police the story she and Mark had already agreed on.

After the police recorded Rosalie's words, they moved on to questioning the next person.

In fact, everyone in the hall gave similar accounts, and the whole story seemed quite clear.

It's just that Lucas suddenly went berserk for some reason and started attacking everyone else in the hall indiscriminately.

The only suspicious point is that during the two minutes of sudden power outage, Lucas, who had injured someone, suddenly exploded for unknown reasons.

Unfortunately, no one present at the time could see the situation clearly, so the police could only collect the bodies of Lucas and the six deceased victims and prepare to take them back to the police station for autopsies.

The remaining dozen or so injured people were also sent to ambulances.

Rosalie and Mark, one a woman and the other a child, blended in unnoticed among the crowd in the hall, and no police officer would suspect them.

"Please do not leave Los Angeles unnecessarily in the near future, and be prepared to be summoned by the police for questioning at any time."

The lead policeman said one last thing to the group before leaving with the other officers.

Let's go home too!

Rosalie greeted director Louise and then hurriedly left with Mark.

The same was true for everyone else; no one wanted to linger at a murder scene.

Under the protection of Michael and other bodyguards, Rosalie and Mark quickly returned to their home in the Clem neighborhood.

"Tell me, what exactly happened before! I'm not seeing things, you went back to the hotel lobby, right?"

After returning home, Rosalie became increasingly uneasy and immediately called Mark into her room to question him.

Mark had no intention of hiding his abilities from Rosalie; there was no need to.

Of course, he won't tell anyone his most crucial secret weapon.

This has nothing to do with trust; it's inherently difficult for ordinary people to keep secrets from people with superpowers.

"Mom, have you ever heard of mutants?"

Mark lowered his voice and spoke in a mysterious tone.

"Mutants?"

"Mutants are people who are born with the X gene and then develop superpowers."

Mark gave Rosalie a brief explanation of the concept of mutants.

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Rosalie looked at Mark with suspicion, clearly not believing in mutants, an existence beyond her comprehension.

"Mom, look!"

Mark reached out his right hand and grabbed the edge of the large bed next to Rosalie.

With a slight exertion of his arm, he lifted the entire bed straight up.

Oh my god!

Rosalie's mouth dropped open in astonishment; she could hardly believe her eyes.

Rosalie knew very well how heavy the large bed in her room was.

If something falls under the bed, she has to use all her strength to barely pull the bed out.

But Mark just lifted the bed up with one hand!

Even a world weightlifting champion probably couldn't do that, let alone Mark, who is only 6 years old.

This scene completely reshaped Rosalie's worldview, making her understand what mutants truly meant.

"boom!"

After putting the large bed back down, Mark continued, "Actually, Li Qianhuan in our family is also a mutant."

"She has the same strength as you?"

"No, her mutant abilities are not the same as mine."

Mark shook his head and ordered Alice, "Have Li Qianhuan come here."

Now that she had already "exposed" herself, there was no need to hide the fact that Li Qianhuan was a mutant from Rosalie.

"Mark, you were looking for me?"

Li Qianhuan quickly knocked on the door and came in.

"Yes, I've already told Mom that you're a mutant. From now on, you don't need to hide it from her when you're training your mutant abilities at home."

"you!"

Li Qianhuan glared at Mark, seemingly blaming him for telling others about her affairs without her consent.

Having experienced family tragedy, she is very vigilant.

After Mark told her about the secret organization that was capturing mutants for research, she had been carefully hiding her abilities and had never revealed them to anyone else.

"Don't worry about my mom exposing your identity, because I'm a mutant just like you!"

Mark explained.

He then lifted the large bed next to him again to prove his identity to Li Qianhuan.

"You...you're really a mutant?"

Li Qianhuan looked at Mark in disbelief.

Mutants are so rare that she has never encountered another mutant in her entire life.

Her gaze toward Mark soon held a hint of joy and affection, as if she were looking at someone of her own kind.

"Qianhuan, show my mom your mutant abilities!"

Mark said to Li Qianhuan.

Li Qianhuan's previous abilities were only used to perform magic tricks and had almost no offensive power.

During this time, Mark had Alice teach him subjects such as electromagnetism and plasma physics.

Now Mark can also see just how far Li Qianhuan has developed her abilities.

"it is good!"

Li Qianhuan nodded and pointed her index finger in front of her.

"Zizi..."

Plasma fireworks burst forth in front of her, then rapidly arranged and combined in the air to form different words and patterns.

Clearly, Li Qianhuan has made great progress in controlling plasma compared to before.

"Ah! Is this Qianhuan's ability? It's so amazing!"

Rosalie's eyes widened in surprise, feeling that Li Qianhuan's abilities were far more dazzling than Mark's.

However, Mark realized that Li Qianhuan was still controlling cold plasma, which could not cause much harm to people.

Li Qianhuan then began to control the increase in temperature, and the light emitted by the plasma became brighter and brighter.

"Crackling..."

Tiny sparks began to appear in Li Qianhuan's hands, crackling in her palms.

Mark suddenly reached out and touched the spark in her hand.

"Mark, watch out!"

Li Qianhuan was taken aback and hurriedly tried to withdraw her power, but it was too late.

"Crack!"

The electric current struck Mark's hand, sending sparks flying.

"Not bad! The plasma you've been manipulating is already over a thousand degrees Celsius. If you can extend the duration, it could cause considerable damage."

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Mark nodded in satisfaction.

Chapter Fifty-Two: A Conscience Not Gone

"Mark, are you alright?"

Li Qianhuan and Rosalie both looked at Mark with worried expressions.

"I am fine."

Mark showed them his undamaged hand: "Besides my increased strength, my defense is also very strong now."

The two were then relieved.

"Mom, mutants are discriminated against in the outside world, and there are some secret organizations that capture mutants for research, so please don't tell anyone that Qianhuan and I are mutants."

Mark solemnly instructed Rosalie.

"Okay Mark, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Rosalie hadn't expected mutants to be in such a predicament, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Then she asked hesitantly, "But what about the bodyguards at home? If you spend all your time with them, won't it expose your mutant identity?"

"Don't worry, Global Security has always had a good reputation and has never had any issues with exposing client privacy."

Mark didn't care; after all, he wasn't a real mutant.

He's now really looking forward to seeing how interesting his expression will be when someone tries to use the methods used against mutants on him and finds them ineffective.

After telling Rosalie about his situation in a way that was half true and half false, Mark returned to his room.

He turned on his computer and began searching online for information related to the name "Aldridge Killian".

After overhearing director Louis and Killian's conversation at the hotel, Mark had a plan in mind.

He not only wanted to obtain the original formula for the Extremis virus from Killian, but also wanted to recruit the two genius scientists, Maya Hansen and Killian, to work for him.

The Extremis virus does have significant flaws, but it is still very valuable if it can be improved.

Mark quickly found a wealth of information about Killian through his name.

Now, Killian has founded a small pharmaceutical company called Future Pharma in Texas, which focuses on biopharmaceutical research and development.

Mark began hacking into the database of Future Pharmaceuticals, based on the company's address.

This small pharmaceutical company had poor cybersecurity, and Mark easily opened a backdoor into the database, obtaining a large amount of confidential information.

"Good heavens, Killian's got some nerve!"

As Mark flipped through the documents in front of him, he couldn't help but marvel at Killian's audacity—this guy truly deserved to be a future villain.

Although he hasn't completely turned to the dark side after being humiliated by Tony Stark, Killian is definitely not a truly good person right now.

Future Pharmaceuticals appears to have only one laboratory, located within the company, currently headed by Maya Hansen, which is responsible for developing medical applications for the Extremis virus.

But secretly, Killian also established an animal laboratory in North Carolina.

Based on research data from Maya Hansen, Killian secretly used the Extremis virus, which was originally intended for medical purposes, for physical enhancement and modification.

Moreover, Killian has already conducted experiments on gorillas and monkeys, and the Extremis virus has proven to be quite effective in enhancing the body.

Future Pharmaceuticals was originally a small company, and it was already struggling to support the research and development of a single laboratory.

Now, Killian has also secretly established another laboratory, which has naturally led to financial difficulties for the company.

Therefore, Killian had no choice but to secretly sell the Extremis virus, which had just undergone animal testing, to some Hollywood directors in order to earn research funds.

Of course, Killian also sought investment and cooperation everywhere, but all they encountered was contempt and rejection. No one was optimistic about the drugs being researched by such a small company.
