"Sir, according to our investigation, it was an intelligence organization called Rising Tide that sent Mark's identity information to major news media outlets."
“This organization always does things for money, so someone must have commissioned them to do this, but the person who commissioned them is very well hidden and cannot be found yet.”
Jarvis quickly relayed the information he had gathered to Tony.
"Hmph! Don't let me find out who the client is, or I'll make him pay!"
Tony scoffed.
"Sir, now that your relationship with Mark has been exposed, do you intend to formally and publicly acknowledge it?"
Jarvis asked.
Tony's eyes glazed over for a moment when he heard Jarvis's question.
He seemed to have returned to his childhood, to the scene of waiting alone at home for his parents to come home.
At that time, in the huge manor villa, only the old butler Jarvis accompanied him.
He had to eat alone, go to school alone, and play in the yard alone.
Even on my birthday, I only receive hurried phone calls from my parents.
He wanted to ask his parents: Is work really that important? Can't you even spare some time to celebrate my birthday once?
Unfortunately, he never asked that question until the day his parents were murdered, nor did he receive the answer he wanted.
After regaining his senses, Tony shook his head and said to Jarvis, "No one in the Stark family can be a good father, nor do we deserve to be one... Jarvis, send a warning to those news media outlets in my name, and tell them to stop publishing false information."
"Okay, sir!"
Jarvis agreed.
Federal news outlets quickly received warning letters from Jarvis, sent in Tony's name.
These news media outlets certainly dared not ignore Tony's warning, and they could only temporarily suspend their reporting on Tony.
However, news related to Mark did not stop; on the contrary, it intensified.
Mark's entire life story from childhood to adulthood has been exposed!
Chapter 85 Influence
Although Mark is a newly rich man, he doesn't have the same intimidating power as Tony, who can silence numerous news media outlets with just a warning.
After being unable to report on anything related to Tony, these news outlets all turned their attention to Mark.
The baby formula commercials that Mark filmed as a baby were also exposed by some TV stations—of course, they received all the information from the Rising Tide organization.
At the time, this milk powder advertisement was very famous and was repeatedly broadcast on major TV stations, subway stations, and bus stations, and was seen by many people.
At the time, no one knew Mark's name; they only remembered his angelic appearance and nicknamed him "Angel Baby."
It was only after the media exposed this that everyone realized that Mark Payne, who is now being widely reported by the media, was the baby in the milk powder advertisement.
"Ah! I can't believe that angelic baby is actually Mark Payne!"
"Time flies! I can't believe how quickly my angelic baby has grown up!"
"I doubt anyone could have imagined that the baby who filmed the milk powder commercial would become a billionaire just six years later!"
"..."
Countless federal citizens are talking about it.
Besides this milk powder ad, other ads that Mark filmed back then have also become popular again.
These advertisers were overjoyed. They never expected that an advertisement they filmed years ago would attract so much attention again. They made a fortune!
Many people only realized then that Mark's childhood was not easy either, and that he had been taking on advertising jobs with his mother since he was very young.
Mark also acted in some films and television series with Rosalie, but only in supporting roles and without much screen time.
However, Mark still left an impression on many viewers thanks to his outstanding appearance.
Now that the media has revealed the films and TV series that Mark has acted in, viewers have quickly connected the characters they remember with Mark in real life.
Of course, what makes Mark most memorable is his interview on CBS.
At just five years old, he spoke eloquently about how he modified the stun gun.
At the time, many people were certain that the child was so intelligent that he was very likely Tony's child!
However, because Tony did not publicly acknowledge it, the matter was ultimately dropped.
This time is different. Although Tony still denies his relationship with Mark, based on previously leaked information, everyone is now certain that Mark is definitely Tony's child!
The people who are most emotionally devastated are actually the gamers themselves.
When they learned that their favorite games, such as Stardew Valley, Plants vs. Zombies, and Minecraft, were actually created by a 6-year-old child, they felt like the sky had fallen!
"Are you kidding me? This fun game was really created by a child all by himself?"
"My God! I can't believe there are such smart kids in the world! I feel like I've wasted all these years!"
"..."
Major gaming forums are buzzing with discussion about Mark, the game's creator.
By this time, many journalists had surrounded Mark's home in the Clem neighborhood.
They were eager to interview Mark, this child prodigy!
Unfortunately, Rosalie is away filming and won't be back anytime soon.
Mark is also basking in the sunlight on the plane, not at home either.
These reporters waited for several days, but to no avail.
Some astute reporters have already begun inquiring about Mark from the surrounding residents.
Under the pressure of money, the residents quickly told the reporter what they knew about Mark.
Of course, they were all talking about Mark's well-behaved and adorable side.
Reporters also entered the community primary school and began interviewing Mark's teachers.
From them, these journalists heard once again about Mark's genius.
When Mark first enrolled, he taught himself a lot of subjects, such as network technology, cell biology, and astrophysics, which even the teachers couldn't understand.
Even though he never attended classes, Mark always got full marks on his exams.
As expected, the news, once leaked by these reporters, caused astonishment among countless people.
"My God, this kid is so smart! He'll definitely be another Tony Stark in the future!"
"No! I have a feeling this kid might be even smarter than Tony Stark!"
"..."
Countless people are having heated discussions, debating whether Mark or Tony was smarter when they were young.
On the Falcon aircraft.
Mark checked the CCTV footage from the Clem neighborhood and saw a large group of reporters gathered in front of his house, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, he is currently high in the air; otherwise, if he were at home, he would be driven crazy by these reporters!
"Damn it, who leaked my information?"
Mark cursed angrily.
In fact, with the rapid rise of the pharmaceutical industry, Mark knew he probably couldn't hide for long.
Although he appointed a lawyer to serve as the company's nominal director, this could only deceive him temporarily.
It's quite normal for a lawyer he's hired to betray his identity if they're bribed or coerced.
Moreover, he had registered his assets with the Commerce Bureau, and could have obtained them through power or other illegal means.
But being unable to hide it is one thing, being exposed in the media like this is another.
This time, it's obvious someone is deliberately targeting him!
"Alice, have you found out who leaked my information?"
Mark asked Alice.
"We've found out! The person who sent your information to major news outlets is a high-level hacker named Eisen Roberts. He comes from an intelligence organization called Rising Tide. He was probably commissioned by someone else, but we can't trace who commissioned him."
Alice told Mark what she had found out.
Although Eisen disguised his message, Alice still managed to track him down by following the clues and hacked into his computer to find his information.
“Send his information to the nearest police station.”
Mark gave a cold snort and gave the order.
Jarvis also discovered Eisen Roberts' identity, but Tony didn't bother with such a minor character; he only wanted to find the real client behind the scenes.
But Mark is different; he's much more petty than Tony!
Mark, the person behind the scenes, needs to be found, but he won't let this man named Eisen Robert go either.
"Okay, Mark."
Alice immediately sent Ethan Roberts' identity information and current location to the Bateson Regional Police Department's emergency email address in Florida.
Inside an apartment building on Hale Street in the Bateson district.
A young man with thick glasses and messy hair was sitting in front of a computer, intently typing away, completely unaware of the danger approaching.
Chapter 86 Super Physique LV10
This young man is Eisen Robert, a Level 3 hacker from the Rising Tide organization.
The Rising Tide group is a loosely organized hacker group with no real supreme leader.
Its original purpose was to expose the dark secrets of governments around the world and to inform the general public about the existence of mutants, superhumans, and aliens, so that they could also enjoy the right to know.
However, because the organization was too loose and the various groups were not subordinate to each other, it was common for them to engage in other activities in private.
Eisen was acting on his team leader's orders to inform the major news outlets about Mark.
Seeing the overwhelming news reports about Mark online, Eisen smiled smugly, feeling a sense of pleasure in controlling everything from behind the scenes.
"Ding dong!"
Just then, someone rang the doorbell outside the courtyard.
Who will come looking for me?
Eisen was taken aback.
As a hacker and a homebody, he rarely goes out and hardly interacts with his neighbors, so no one usually comes to his house to look for him.
He could only shut down the computer, get up, open the door, and go out.
"They're police officers!"
Upon seeing the two policemen outside the gate, Eisen immediately became more vigilant.
He knew, of course, that what he was doing was illegal and that if he got caught, he would have to spend several years in jail.
Fortunately, he has always been cautious in his online activities and believes that with his hacking skills, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to track him down.
These two policemen didn't come for me.
"Please open the door! We are the Hale Regional Police. We need your cooperation in an investigation, which may take a few minutes."
A middle-aged white police officer on the left showed his police badge and politely spoke to Eisen.
"Yes, officer!"
Eisen stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate.
After he opened the gate, another Black female police officer produced a search warrant and an arrest warrant: "Eisen Robert, you are being arrested for suspected trespassing and cybercrime. Please turn around and put your hands behind your back!"
The white police officer had already placed his hand on his waist, staring at him warily, ready to draw his gun at any moment.
"Ah, this..."
Eisen's face turned pale with fright; he never expected that his identity would actually be exposed!
