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

His current private jet, including the cost of hiring a captain, crew, and various fees, only cost $800 million, making the two prices incomparable.

"Did the airport say who gave it to them?"

Mark quickly pressed for an answer.

Although he was asking a question, Mark's mind was racing, and he had already vaguely guessed the other person's identity.

Perhaps only Tony Stark could pull off such a grand gesture.

Just then, at the previous party, Mark intervened and rescued him from Lucas.

Given the other party's proud nature and unwillingness to owe favors, it's quite normal to give him a private jet as a return gift.

"No! The airport staff just asked me to notify you so that you can come to the airport in person to sign for the package."

Dalton replied.

"Okay, you wait at the airport, I'll be right there."

Mark then hung up the phone and headed to the airport under the escort of two bodyguards.

Upon arriving at the airport, Mark immediately spotted the brand-new Falcon GV luxury jet parked right next to his plane.

Mark originally thought his plane was already quite luxurious.

But now that the two planes are parked side by side, the difference is clearly visible to the naked eye.

First of all, in terms of size alone, the Falcon GV is much larger, with a fuselage height of 8 meters, a total fuselage length of 30 meters, and a wingspan of 28 meters.

Compared to it, Mark's plane was like the difference between an eagle and a hen.

Moreover, the Falcon GV has smoother lines, a thicker fuselage, and more side windows, making it easier for Mark to absorb sunlight on the plane.

"You must be Mr. Mark Payne? That gentleman specifically instructed that you personally sign for it."

The airport manager warmly greeted Mark and personally handled the handover procedures for the Falcon GV for him.

After completing the handover procedures, Mark took Dalton and boarded the plane.

Chapter 56 Obadiah

The Falcon GV has a larger interior space.

The living room next to the cabin door is furnished with more than ten sofas, and there are hidden coffee tables in front of the sofas.

The living room has fixed refrigerators, wine cabinets, and bars on both sides, and a large-screen plasma TV is mounted on the cabin wall.

This spacious area is large enough to host a small cocktail party for a dozen or so friends.

The bulkheads and floors are decorated with dark walnut wood, giving the overall design a low-key, understated luxury style favored by many wealthy individuals.

What pleased Mark the most was the dozen or so windows on both sides of the cabin, which ensured that he could be exposed to sunlight no matter where he sat.

He then went into the middle cabin.

On the left side of the middle cabin is an open-plan luxury kitchen and dining room, while on the right side, behind a door, is an office of more than 20 square meters.

“Great, this office can be converted into a workspace.”

Mark nodded in satisfaction.

After touring the entire plane, Mark left the airport and returned home.

He then ordered oscilloscopes, precision soldering stations, miniature lathes, and spectrometers from the websites of industrial groups including Stark and Trask, and had them delivered all of these instruments to the workshop on the Falcon GV aircraft.

Three days passed quickly.

At this time, the crew's vacation ended, and Mark once again left home under the pretext of going to the company to handle some business, heading to the airport with two bodyguards.

Given Mark's current strength, it wouldn't matter much whether he brings bodyguards or not.

But he is still just a child on the surface, and there are many things he can't do in public. Having bodyguards can save him a lot of trouble.

Upon arriving at the airport, Mark chose to board the Falcon GV aircraft he had just acquired.

This aircraft far surpasses the original one in terms of speed, safety, and comfort.

The crew was naturally very happy to be able to travel on such a top-of-the-line luxury aircraft.

"boom!"

The plane quickly took off, breaking through the clouds and entering the high altitude.

[Sunlight value +1 +1 +1...]

Mark felt a sense of satisfaction as he watched the rapidly rising daylight value.

During his week on Earth, he only gained a little over 300 points of sunlight.

But now that he's high in the air, he only needs about an hour to collect these sunlight values.

Sunlight index: 357

【Super Physique LV5 (0/16000)】

Mark estimated that it would take him about four more days to raise his Super Physique to level 6.

"I wonder when I'll be able to gain real flight ability!"

Mark looked out the window, thinking with a hint of anticipation.

If Mark had the ability to fly, he could fly into the high sky at any time to absorb sunlight, and the collection efficiency would definitely be higher.

Just as Mark was flying high in the sky, rapidly collecting sunlight data, Tony Stark, who was at his Malibu mansion, also received a phone call from New York.

“Obi, you’re busy with work at the company, why did you suddenly think of calling me?”

After the call connected, Tony Stark asked casually.

The person on the other end of the phone was Obadiah Stein, the vice president of Stark Industries.

Obadiah is a founding member of Stark Industries, having co-founded the company with Tony Stark's father, Howard.

He is now the group's vice president and the second-largest shareholder after Tony Stark.

Because Tony Stark has long been detached from managing the group's affairs, the daily operations, sales channels, network of contacts, and board power of the Stark Industries are now all in Obadiah's hands.

"Tony, why didn't you attend the board meeting this morning?"

Obadiah's dissatisfied voice came through the phone.

"I'm busy with a date, how could I have time to attend a meeting! Besides, you're still in the company, so there's no need for me to get involved. I believe you have the ability to handle all the company's affairs well."

Tony Stark said casually.

"You're still the same!"

Obadiah sighed helplessly, then changed the subject, saying, "I heard you had a child in Los Angeles? You've been staying in Los Angeles instead of returning to the company, could it be because of this child?"

"How could I possibly have children? Obi, you know we Stark family members don't like children, and I will never have children in my life!"

Tony Stark’s voice rose noticeably: “Women often claim in the media that they have children with me, but they just want to get more money out of me. Don’t take it seriously.”

“Alright, Tony, I know you still harbor some resentment towards Howard, blaming him for neglecting you because of work. But you really need a child, and Stark Industries needs an heir in the future…”

"Okay, Obi, is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up. I have a date waiting for me outside!"

Tony Stark interrupted Obadiah with some impatience.

Since his parents passed away, he has always regarded Obama as his closest and most trusted elder, but sometimes Obama's nagging does annoy him.

"Okay, okay!"

Obadiah then got down to business: "The military will be signing a large military procurement agreement with us in three days. As the group president, you will have to be there to sign it. Get ready to return to New York as soon as possible."

"This……"

Although Tony Stark disliked managing company affairs, he knew there were some things he couldn't escape, so he could only nod and agree, "Okay, I'll make preparations and return to New York as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, he lost all interest in going out on the date.

He poured himself a glass of red wine while lying on the sofa, then asked, "Jarvis, what's Mark up to lately?"

“Mark has accepted the Falcon GV you gifted him. He is currently on a plane near Polynesia in the Pacific Ocean.”

Jarvis casually told him Mark's location.

The large screen in the living room then lit up, displaying images of Mark working busily in the aircraft workshop.

At this moment, Mark was wearing a pair of dustproof goggles and standing in front of the soldering table, focusing intently on soldering electronic components one by one onto an electronic board.

Tony Stark was momentarily stunned as he watched Mark's practiced movements.

At that moment, he felt like he was looking in a mirror, vaguely seeing himself busy in the office.

Deep down, he always felt close to Mark. Besides the blood ties between them, the most important reason was that Tony Stark saw a reflection of himself in Mark.

As a genius with intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary people, Tony Stark often felt as if he were facing uncivilized monkeys when dealing with other people.

Others simply cannot understand many of his thoughts and ideas, which makes him feel distressed and lonely. He can only try to numb himself by constantly dating women.

But when Tony Stark saw Mark, he felt like he had found a kindred spirit.

He had a strange feeling that perhaps Mark was the one who could truly understand him!

Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Warning

"I really don't know what kind of weird quirk this kid has, that he likes to fly in the sky all the time!"

Looking at Mark on the screen, Tony Stark couldn't help but mutter something to himself.

It was precisely because he knew Mark had this quirk that he chose to gift him an airplane.

Mark, who was busy in his workroom, was unaware that his every move was being watched by Tony Stark.

After boarding the plane, Mark used various detectors to thoroughly examine the entire aircraft.

However, Tony Stark now possesses far more technology than Mark, and unless he dismantles the entire plane, it will be difficult for him to detect anything amiss.

Actually, Mark had a lot of faith in Tony Stark's character and knew that the other party wouldn't harm him, which is why he wasn't too wary.

Otherwise, if it were a plane given to him by someone else, Mark would not have chosen to fly on it at all.

What Mark is currently building in his workshop is a miniature monitor disguised as a fly.

The fly integrates four main functions: surveillance, listening, positioning, and attack, and can also fly short distances.

This "fly's" main attack method is to pierce the target's skin with its mouthparts and then inject a drug into the target's body.

You can choose to inject a powerful anesthetic that renders an ordinary person incapacitated in a short time, or you can inject a deadly poison that kills instantly.

These little things may seem insignificant, but they can sometimes play a significant role.

By the time the plane began its descent to refuel, Mark had already manufactured twelve fly monitors.

He put the monitors in a box and kept them with him for future use.

"The Los Angeles Police Department has released a new statement announcing that the cause of Lucas's death has been determined..."

After the plane took off again, Mark saw a live news broadcast from the Los Angeles Police Department.

Police found no harmful substances in Lucas's body, and therefore classified his violent behavior that night as an acute manic episode.

After killing more than ten people, Lucas detonated homemade explosives on his body and committed suicide.

Mark knew that the police's explanation was merely an attempt to appease the public and the media.

In fact, there was no gunpowder residue on Lucas's body, something the police couldn't possibly be unaware of.

But they didn't know the real reason Lucas self-destructed, so that was all they could say to the outside world.

However, regardless of the circumstances, this matter is now considered closed for the time being, and Killian, who had been feeling uneasy, can finally relax a little.

Thinking of this, Mark immediately asked Alice, "Alice, how has Killian been behaving lately? Has he been up to anything behind the scenes?"

Mark never truly trusted this future villain, always having Alice keep a close eye on his every move.

“Mark, according to my monitoring, Killian’s behavior at the company is normal. He stays in the lab every day and works with Maya Hansen to study the Extremis virus.”

“But Killian’s home network is always disconnected, and he will throw his cell phone and other communication devices aside when he gets home, and he won’t keep them with him. So I can’t find out what he is doing at home.”

Alice reported the information she had gathered to Mark.

"Heh, it seems Killian has his own little schemes after all!"
