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

Pietro's screams have barely stopped since he took to the skies.

On the contrary, Wanda and Dalia, the two girls, only seemed a little nervous.

Mark hadn't expected Pietro to be such a coward, so he had no choice but to use his bio-field to completely seal his mouth shut.

The sunlight shone on Mark, quickly replenishing the solar energy he had consumed during the battle.

At this point, Mark's energy consumption during flight was far less than its replenishment rate.

Three hours later, Mark's body was completely filled with solar energy.

After dark, Mark led everyone to stay at a hotel in the nearest city, rested for a night, and then continued their journey.

The following night, Mark and his group descended from the sky and landed at Payne Manor.

The bio-field can shield against radar and infrared detection, and Mark and his group encountered no obstacles along the way.

Of course, Mark will eventually have to obtain official status for Wanda and the other two.

Whether it's directly hacking into the household registration office or asking those officials who treat patients at future pharmaceutical companies for help, it's not difficult for Mark.

Rosalie is away filming and is not at home.

Mark introduced Wanda and the other two to Li Qianhuan and Lina, and then asked Lina to arrange accommodations and rooms for them.

At Payne Manor, Li Qianhuan's main job is to maintain Alice's supercomputing system.

Lina, on the other hand, serves as a butler, responsible for receiving guests and handling the manor's daily affairs.

Lina can judge a person's good or evil by the color of their spirit. People who harbor ill will towards Payne Manor can easily reveal themselves to her.

"Boss, there's been a problem at the bank..."

The next day, Curtis, the president of Payne Bank, called him.

According to him, three thieves attempted to break into Payne Bank last night.

They were discovered by a hidden infrared detector and apprehended on the spot by the bank's security guards; they have now been taken to the police station.

Chapter 102 Cleaning the House

Since Payne Bank launched its online banking service, the number of depositors has been increasing, and the amount of money stored in the bank has also been growing, which naturally attracts the covetous eyes of others.

Fortunately, the bank had hired two elite security teams in advance, which prevented the other party from succeeding.

However, this also served as a reminder to Mark, who worried that as the bank stored more money in the future, it would attract the covetous eyes of some people with supernatural abilities.

Ordinary security personnel are simply not up to the task of dealing with these superhumans.

"The Flint brothers at the safe house have been training for six months now, and they should be able to come in handy. We can send them to Payne Bank as a hidden trump card to guard against superpowered intrusions."

Mark made his decision and prepared to go to the safe house to check on the mutants housed there.

These two brothers, one with the ability to control fire and the other with the ability to control ice, are even more lethal when they work together.

He brought Lina along, and the two of them traveled together to the safe house.

The five mutants inside the safe house received the news and, after finishing their training, lined up here to greet him, led by Sean.

"Hi boss!"

Upon seeing Mark, Sean and the others saluted him together.

Mark saw that the Flint brothers' movements were clean and efficient, and their energy and spirit seemed to be almost the same as Sean's next to him, which clearly showed that the training over the past six months had been very effective.

Mark nodded, satisfied with their performance.

Compared to them, the other three new mutants next to them performed much worse.

The three were all young people in their early twenties; one was a white man, one was a black man, and the other was a Latina woman.

They were standing loosely, whispering amongst themselves as they looked at Mark.

"Is this our boss? I didn't expect him to be so young!"

"I heard he's also a mutant, but I wonder what his mutant abilities are."

"Training every day is exhausting, I don't know when it will end!"

"..."

Although they were speaking very softly, Mark could still hear them clearly.

Last month, various organizations entered Los Angeles in search of Mark, codenamed "Wind Rider."

Instead of finding Mark, the underground mutants hiding in Los Angeles were the ones who suffered.

These three mutants joined Mark's ranks through Ian when they had no other options.

Mark was in a hurry to improve his own strength, so he didn't meet them in person. He simply placed them in the safe house and handed them over to Sean for training before taking a plane and leaving Los Angeles.

Judging from the three players' performance at this point, the training this month doesn't seem to have been very effective.

"First, introduce your names and mutant abilities."

Mark looked at the three of them first and asked.

"Boss, my name is Brian Hall, and my ability is to control the wind."

"My name is Thomas Wright, and my ability is physical enhancement."

"Boss, I am Ivy Valentine, and I can manipulate other people's emotions through my voice."

White men, Black men, and Latina women took turns stating their names and abilities.

However, his tone was clearly perfunctory, obviously treating Mark like an ordinary child, a stark contrast to the respectful attitude of the Flint brothers beside him.

"You all go back first!"

Mark first saw the three men off, and then told the Flint brothers the purpose of his visit.

"Don't worry, boss, we will protect the bank's security!"

The two brothers immediately agreed.

Compared to their previous life of wandering the streets, homeless and constantly on the run from underground forces, the training they receive now, though tough, is much better.

Both brothers were very grateful to Mark for taking them in and were willing to do their best for him.

Mark was very satisfied with their attitude and immediately took out two formal contracts he had prepared in advance, signing them into Payne Security as official employees.

Seeing their wages double, the Flint brothers were even more grateful to Mark.

The two quickly packed their personal belongings and then drove directly to Payne Bank.

"Have Brian and his men done anything out of line recently?"

Mark then asked Alice in a low voice.

Although he hadn't seen Brian and the other two during this time, he had been keeping a close eye on their every move.

“The three of them don’t train very hard and just go through the motions. However, Brian and Ivy didn’t do anything illegal, but Thomas often went out at night and hung out with some gangsters in the neighborhood.”

"When he was drunk, he showed off his mutant abilities in front of these gang members in order to show off, and he also participated in gang fights, drug use, theft and other activities."

Alice gave Mark a detailed account of the three men's behavior, especially Thomas's, during this period.

Thomas is the black man with the physical enhancement ability from earlier.

Mark is usually too busy, so Alice won't report such unimportant things unless he specifically asks for them.

"Wow, this guy has quite the nightlife!"

Mark was almost amused by the situation.

"Brian and Ivy's spirits are both white, representing neutrality, while Thomas's spirit is gray. He probably hasn't done anything too evil yet, but he's probably done quite a few bad things."

Lina whispered to Mark what she had just seen.

"Thomas is indeed the most difficult of these people to manage. He is also the least serious in training and has even had conflicts with the Flint brothers."

Sean chimed in from the side.

Having gathered intelligence from various sources, Mark had a basic understanding of the three individuals' situations and had made his decision.

He called Brian and the other two over again, then looked at Thomas and said, "Thomas, you can pack your things and leave now. You're fired!"

Mark could tolerate the occasional illegal acts committed by his mutant subordinates, as long as they weren't too outrageous.

After all, he himself wasn't exactly a law-abiding good person.

But Mark couldn't accept someone like Thomas, who was unruly and willingly degenerated by associating with gangsters.

If we keep him around, he might cause trouble in the future that could implicate us and others.

"Ah! Boss, why?"

Brian and Ivy were both taken aback by Mark's words and quickly tried to dissuade him.

The three of them used to be a small team, and they supported each other through thick and thin.

Although Thomas's personality can be annoying at times, they genuinely consider each other companions.

"Why are you firing me? This is discrimination!"

Thomas's face darkened even more. He glared at Mark, his fists clenched, looking ready to attack.

"Alice, let them see what Thomas has been doing lately."

Mark took a display screen from Lina and gave the order to Alice.

Chapter 103 Lessons Learned

The screen quickly displayed Thomas's recent actions.

"Tony! How could you..."

Faced with the facts, Brian and Ivy could not plead for Thomas and could only look at him with disappointment.

"Damn it! You dare to spy on me?"

Thomas, enraged, bulged his muscles and swung his right fist at Mark.

"Thomas, no!"

Brian and Ivy, who were standing nearby, were taken aback and tried to step forward to stop them, but it was too late.

Sean immediately drew his pistol from his waist, ready to fire.

Thomas could tolerate cheating and shirking during training, but as Mark's bodyguard, he couldn't stand it when the other party threatened Mark's safety.

Although they all knew that Mark was also a mutant, he was still too young, and the three of them didn't think he could stop a strong man like Thomas.

Despite Thomas's powerful punch that whistled through the air, Mark remained calm and reached out to grab it.

Compared to his opponent's large, heavy fist, Mark's palm was much smaller.

However, the result of the clash between their fists and palms surprised the three people standing nearby.

"Oh!"

Thomas's fist was blocked by Mark's palm and could not advance any further.

"Hmm, his punching power is about 15 tons, which would make him at most a level 2 mutant."

After estimating Thomas's punching power, Mark suddenly clenched his fist.

Thomas's hand was instantly deformed by his terrifying 20-ton grip.

"Ouch...it hurts!"

Thomas felt as if his fist was being clamped by a hydraulic press, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. He could only scream in agony.

Mark swung Thomas's body up with one hand and slammed it hard onto the concrete ground.

"boom!"

The entire courtyard seemed to tremble.

Thomas suffered fractures in his ribs, leg bones, and hand bones, and lay on the ground unable to move.

If his mutant ability weren't physical enhancement, this attack would have been enough to kill him.

The three people next to Sean were all dumbfounded.
