"Actually, Shredder doesn't matter. What's important is the Mind Transmission Device."
Anton instructed, "Anyway, tell Phil to be careful. Once the full Mind Transmission Device is assembled, he must not rush to use it. Otherwise, something could go wrong."
"You mean that alien who dropped the Mind Transmission Device on Earth might come to Earth through it?"
Eddie immediately understood what Anton meant.
"Exactly."
Anton nodded. "We need to plan carefully for this."
"I'll tell Phil to handle it cautiously."
Eddie answered seriously.
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock at the door.
A stunning red-haired beauty, Natasha, swayed her hips as she pushed the door open.
"Anton, Stark Industries sent an invitation."
She continued, "Stark Industries and Octavius Max Company's joint experiment—the 'Artificial Sun'—will be held three days from now. Obadiah Stane had someone deliver the invitation personally. He wants to invite you, and…"
Her gaze shifted to Eddie."…also a reporter from the Daily Bugle to attend this public demonstration."
"Is that so?"
Anton raised an eyebrow.
Unknowingly, Obadiah and Doctor Octavius' joint experiment had already reached the final stage.
He wondered whether the event would unfold exactly as he expected.
A disaster right on the spot…And then, certain people would die on the spot.
However, Anton didn't really care about that.The only thing he cared about was Justice Points.
It had been a while since he earned any!
Even a landowner runs out of grain eventually!Let alone someone who's not even a landowner yet!
What annoyed him most was that even yesterday, when Green Arrow dealt with Hammer Industries' armed forces, the system didn't award him any Justice Points.
Clearly, the system didn't consider that a good deed!
Now Anton truly couldn't guess how the system was judging "justice."
But one thing was certain:Once Obadiah and Otto fully blackened and became villains, dealing with those two would definitely bring him a huge haul of Justice Points.
Thinking of this, and having gone so long without any "income," Anton was already impatient for the "Artificial Sun" demo happening three days later.
As for Eddie across from Anton, the fact that the invitation included the Daily Bugle didn't surprise him.
Given the Bugle's current prestige in New York, it would actually be strange if Obadiah didn't invite them.
The Daily Bugle was the official media partner of Batman.
At this point, countless people were eagerly waiting for the next issue, hoping one day to see an exclusive Batman interview on the front page.
Hmm… Anton was still considering that.
Elsewhere.
After delivering the invitation, Natasha left Anton's office.
Her thoughts drifted to the intel Coulson sent right after last night's incident.
Green Arrow appeared again!
This time, he helped Harry Osborn escape danger, drove away Hammer Industries' assault team, as well as the military forces secretly backing them.
This morning, Harry, at the board meeting he reconvened, threw a whole sack of severed fingers onto the conference table, filling the room with a bloody stench.The severed fingers were scattered across the entire table.
Hammer's face instantly turned as dark as a burnt pot.
The other board members looked at each other.They were all experienced people; no one was actually frightened by a bag of fingers.
But they all understood one thing:
The youth they previously dismissed—Harry, who had been standing on the edge of a cliff—had fully turned the tables.
And Justin Hammer, who had stormed in aggressively hoping to take over Oscorp, now sat in silence with a dark, ugly expression.
Clearly, Hammer had suffered a heavy defeat last night.
"From today on, and from now on, Oscorp will still be ruled by the Osborns."
Harry swept his gaze across the room, showing a row of white teeth—sharp like a shark's, ready to bite.
No one dared meet his eyes.
After this incident, they were shocked to discover that this young man they had never taken seriously suddenly seemed… towering.
"You can all rest assured."
Harry said calmly, "I won't interfere with Oscorp's internal operations at will. But you also need to understand that I am still the major shareholder of Oscorp. I don't like to talk much, but no one has the right to stop me from speaking."
He shot a glance at Hammer.
"Hmph!"
Hammer happened to look up and meet Harry's eyes.Enraged by the youth's gaze, he let out a cold snort, stood up, and stormed out.
The board meeting ended accordingly.
Very soon—the outcome spread.
Online, countless headlines popped up:
[Oscorp Internal Struggle Ends — Winner: Osborn]
[Oscorp Returns to the Osborns]
None of the reports mentioned the severed fingers covering the table.
As if the entire conflict had been just normal corporate competition.
No violence at all.
Los Angeles, a seaside mansion.
Tony Stark also received an invitation from Obadiah.
"Artificial Sun…"
Hearing Jarvis' report, Tony perked up slightly.
Setting aside personal relationships and the faint tension between him and Obadiah—Tony was genuinely interested in this experiment.
An artificial sun.Artificial clean energy.
This was no ordinary innovation.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Tony Stark had to acknowledge that this technology was even harder to achieve than building the arc reactor in a cave.
Dr. Otto Octavius was an expert in nuclear physics.In that field alone, Tony couldn't confidently say he surpassed Otto.Even being at the same level was already self-praise.
Tony excelled more in wild ideas and inventive execution.
Otto was more grounded.
Just like the upcoming public experiment—Otto would be unveiling something that seemed impossible yet had already moved from theory into practice: the "Artificial Sun."
It had taken him more than ten years to reach actual results.
"Three days from now?"
Tony checked the date, then glanced at the suitcase in front of him—the portable Mark V armor he had just finished painting, developed from the earlier Mark prototypes.
"Jarvis, remind me when the time comes."
"Certainly, sir," Jarvis replied.
Ever since Tony watched the Cyborg movie last time, he had done some upgrades to Jarvis.
However, he didn't touch Jarvis' emotional learning module.
Maybe deep down, Tony had long considered Jarvis a person.
Three days passed quickly.
New York.
Hudson River shoreline.
A massive temporary experimental platform had been constructed here, linked to power systems and lined with advanced equipment.
Click click click!Countless reporters crouched outside, taking rapid-fire photos.
Anton arrived at the scene.
Before the reporters could swarm him, another familiar figure arrived—carrying a suitcase.
"Tony, it's rare to see you show up these days."
Anton moved faster than the reporters, greeting him with a smile. His gaze drifted to the suitcase Tony was holding, and he was genuinely surprised.
It had only been a short while—
Tony had already completed the portable Mark V?
The timeline for Iron Man 1 hadn't even passed yet!
What Anton didn't know was that Batman's appearance had given Tony new insights and inspiration regarding armor design.
And after the Afghanistan kidnapping event, Tony felt a much stronger sense of danger.
The early creation of the portable Mark V armor was Tony's way of easing that anxiety.
Armor he could suit up in instantly during daily life!
Even if its combat capability was the weakest among his armors so far, it provided him with a sense of security—and that was enough.
