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

"Drip drip..."

Just as the mother and son were overjoyed about this opportunity, the computer in the room suddenly emitted a piercing alarm sound.

"not good!"

Mark's expression changed, and he quickly went over to try and control the computer.

The alarm was a tracking alarm he had set up online.

An alarm will be triggered if anyone tries to trace his real IP address.

However, the real IP address of the computer at home had long been disguised and hidden by Mark, and other people could usually only trace one of the hundreds of relay IP addresses.

The other party was clearly a top-tier hacker, no less skilled than Mark, to be able to pinpoint his real IP address through so many relay IPs.

Just as Mark touched the computer keyboard, the piercing alarm stopped abruptly.

A slightly mechanical voice came from the computer speakers: "Hello, please excuse my intrusion."

Mark had to stop what he was doing: "How is this possible? With my current hacking skills, it's impossible for anyone to break into my computer this quickly! Could it be that the other party is..."

With his superhuman learning speed, Mark believed his networking skills were on par with the world's top hackers.

However, from the moment the other party tried to track my real IP, to locking the IP, and then to breaking through the protection and hacking into my computer, the whole process took less than five seconds. This is something that no human could do!

"Mark, what's going on?"

Rosalie looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

"Someone must have tracked us down to our house by following the clues I left on the computer at Cathy Dale's house."

Mark had gradually regained his composure and gave an analytical reply.

"Oh no, what should we do! Will the police come looking for us?"

Rosalie looked worried.

"Mom, have you forgotten? I'm only five years old. Even if the police come, they can't do anything to me."

Age is Mark's weakness, but also his camouflage.

After reassuring Rosalie, he looked at the camera in front of him and asked, "Who are you?"

You can call me Jarvis.

A gentle male voice came from the speaker next to him.

Chapter Twelve: Tony Stark in a Panic

Meanwhile, on the screen in front of Tony Stark, basic information about Rosalie and Mark was already displayed.

"Jarvis, are you sure that hacker's IP address is from this company?"

He asked, somewhat surprised.

According to the information Jarvis found, there were only two people in this household.

Rosalie, a graduate of a third-rate university, works as an extra in Hollywood and had no prior experience with internet technology.

Mark is only five years old and has not yet started school.

This mother and son don't look like the kind of hackers who could break into CAA Brokerage's website and then hack into Cathy Dell's computer.

"Sir, I'm sure! And I've checked the satellite surveillance footage of this neighborhood; no outsiders have entered this home recently."

Jarvis confirmed this.

"interesting!"

Tony Stark became interested: "Between this mother and son, which one is the real hacker?"

There are only two possibilities now.

First, Rosalie was too well hidden; she not only secretly learned network technology, but had never revealed this ability before.

Secondly, there's that five-year-old kid named Mark, a top genius no less than Tony Stark, who became a top hacker through self-study at the young age of five!

At Mark's home.

"So, Ms. Rosalie and Mr. Mark, which of you is the hacker who broke into Cathy Dale's home computer?"

Jarvis voiced Tony Stark's doubts.

"it's me!"

Mark knew there was no point in hiding it any longer, so he immediately nodded and admitted his identity.

Given the level of protection afforded to minors in the United States, even if he were to commit such an offense, he would at most receive community counseling and would likely face no punishment whatsoever.

Who taught you hacking skills?

"I learned it myself online."

"But child, you are only five years old!"

"So what if I'm five! I heard that Tony Stark could make his own circuit boards at four and build an internal combustion engine at six. What he can do, I can do too!"

Mark adopted a defiant, childlike tone.

He can display intelligence beyond that of ordinary people without revealing his adult mind.

In the Marvel universe, there is a high degree of tolerance towards children.

No matter how big a mistake he makes, the phrase "he's just a child" can forgive everything.

"Then, child, prove it to me."

Jarvis's voice rang out again.

The webcam in front of the computer was pointed at Mark, capturing all his movements.

"Clap clap clap..."

Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard, quickly writing a piece of code, which he then ran.

"Zi..."

A noise came from the speakers, and Jarvis's connection to the computer was instantly lost.

Three seconds later, Jarvis regained control of the computer.

"Good job, kid!"

Jarvis's exclamation rang out again.

Based on what he just did, Mark, at the age of five, is already one of the top five hackers in the world.

Jarvis then checked the computer's browsing history and indeed found books on computer languages, network security, applied cryptography, and other network technologies that Mark had studied.

It continued browsing its browsing history and soon made an even more astonishing discovery.

"Oh my god! You've even studied advanced mathematics, classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, cell biology... Child, are all these things you've been learning?"

"Of course!"

Mark nodded in agreement.

Stark Mansion.

"Sir, this kid is a genius! Twenty years from now, he could be the next Tony Stark!"

Jarvis projected his browsing history onto the big screen, his tone filled with amazement.

After reviewing Mark's academic record, Tony Stark nodded: "This kid is indeed a genius... but there will only ever be one Tony Stark!"

“Well, sir, you are unique! But this child is different… I made some unexpected discoveries while investigating Rosalie and Mark’s information.”

Jarvis then projected Rosalie and Tony Stark's hotel booking records from that time, Mark's birth certificate, and the news from the San Fernando Valley Entertainment News that Mark was Tony Stark's illegitimate son onto the big screen.

"Sir, according to my calculations, the probability that Mark is your biological child is as high as 83%!"

"puff!"

Tony Stark had just picked up the glass of red wine next to him and taken a sip when he heard Jarvis's words, and he immediately spat it out.

"Cough cough, this, this is impossible, Jarvis, don't talk nonsense!"

Looking at the face on the big screen, which bore a striking resemblance to his own, Tony Stark showed a rare hint of panic.

He recalled the night he broke up with Cathy Dale, when he had indeed randomly picked up a woman he found attractive at a film crew party and taken her to a hotel.

Moreover, because he was in a bad mood, his actions that night were somewhat rough, and he may not have even taken any safety precautions.

If it weren't for Jarvis's investigation, he would have completely forgotten about it long ago.

"Sir, if you don't believe my calculated probability, you can have a DNA test done with Mark..."

Jarvis suggested.

"No need, he can never be my child!"

Tony Stark interrupted Jarvis loudly, ordering, "Disconnect from the network. Stop the investigation."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and hurriedly walked out of the restaurant.

Tony Stark suffered from deep psychological trauma due to a lack of family companionship from a young age.

He worries that he will end up like his father, Howard, too busy with work to spend time with his children.

Therefore, he has always been averse to marriage and even more afraid of having his own children.

After suddenly learning that he might be pregnant, Tony Stark was completely thrown into turmoil.

Just as he was about to leave the restaurant, Jarvis's voice came again: "Sir, I've discovered that three top hackers are working together to track Mark's IP address. They've cracked the disguise trap Mark left behind and will soon be able to trace his real IP address..."

"This has nothing to do with me!"

Tony Stark impatiently interrupted Jarvis, but after a slight hesitation, he said, "However, it's a bit much for three hackers to team up against a child. You should stop them!"

"Yes, sir."

Mark's house.

"Phew... They're finally gone."

Mark breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jarvis disconnect from the network.

He felt he had almost no secrets from Jarvis.

"Clap clap clap..."

Mark quickly installed security patches on his computer.

Although he didn't know how long such a security patch would last against Jarvis, it would give him a little more peace of mind.

After upgrading his super brain to LV8, Mark unconsciously developed a sense of arrogance and would look down on others with a condescending attitude.

He had previously hacked into the CAA website and Cathy's computer without any scruples, because he thought his hacking skills were already at the top.

Jarvis's overwhelming superiority over him in network technology completely shattered his arrogance.

Chapter Thirteen: Jarvis's Help

"Mark, are you alright?"

Seeing Mark engrossed in writing code, Rosalie asked him with concern.

"Mom, it's okay, don't worry. Jarvis, which just hacked into our computer, is an intelligent program created by Tony Stark."

"The other party was probably just curious and tracked my identity online; they didn't mean to target me."

Mark told Rosalie about Jarvis's identity.

Rosalie paused for a moment, her expression somewhat complicated.

She never imagined that after so many years, she and her son would cross paths with Tony Stark in this way.

Rosalie had previously harbored some resentment towards Tony Stark for refusing to acknowledge Mark as his son.

But over the years, her resentment has dissipated, and she is now somewhat grateful to the other party for giving her such a bright and angelic son as Mark.

Mark didn't notice Rosalie's change in expression. After installing multiple security patches on his computer, Mark made a decision in his mind.

"I also want to create an intelligent program similar to Jarvis, otherwise we will be at a great disadvantage in online battles."
