"A time of great conflict!"
Li Qingyuan couldn't help but murmur, watching the replay on the TV screen.
Tony Stark truly deserved to be the chosen one in the Marvel world. Originally, Earthlings had been living peacefully in their own world. No matter what demonic invasions or alien attacks occurred, they were all blocked outside the solar system, as if those ancient legends and aliens only existed in everyone's imagination!
But as this guy suddenly hit the switch, all sorts of chaotic things immediately followed in just a few years, and Earthlings' ability to accept things began to increase at an unlimited speed.
Today, everyone might just encounter an alien when they go out, but they might see a demon handing out flyers next door in the afternoon!
Even later on, people who had turned to ashes could be resurrected. If Iron Man didn't die, maybe Earthlings could directly see a black God in the future!
"You seem to have a lot on your mind?" Jill turned her head to look at him. She had been with this guy for several years, and basically, she knew what to do just by reading his expression. So when she saw Li Qingyuan looking so preoccupied, she immediately felt puzzled.
Tony Stark admitted to the entire world's media that he was Iron Man, becoming the first superhero in the public eye. For ordinary onlookers, this was definitely earth-shattering news. But Jill thought this kind of thing was nothing to someone, right?
Underneath the sofa they were sitting on, four humanoid turtles were digging a hole. In the next room, a humanoid weapon was lying down. One street over, a couple whose strength she still couldn't fathom were having a casual singles match!
It seemed that old Mo Youqian had seen a performance artist on the road today. He'd stared at her for a long time, and then he was caught by a landlady who was looking for people to play mahjong.
He was beaten so badly on the spot! It was said that many people almost called the crematorium for him!
"Indeed, a little bit!" Li Qingyuan nodded silently. He could say that aside from the Ancient One, he was probably the person on Earth who understood the future direction of the entire universe the best!
Of course, excluding a certain outlier of an old man.
However, according to the movie universe setting, the other party's true identity was actually the Marvel creator god, the One Above All's, human incarnation. He probably wouldn't encounter that opponent.
"Is it convenient to tell me?"
"Not convenient!" Li Qingyuan shook his head helplessly in response to Jill's question.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Jill, but rather that this Earth was simply too dangerous.
He kept these matters buried in his heart, and with the transmigrator's halo plus the system's help in shielding, he figured no one could possibly discover any clues.
But if he were to be so brain-dead as to tell others about these things?
Did he really think the various big shots in Marvel were just for show?
To say nothing of others, the Ancient One would probably fly out immediately to talk to him. Even with the system's help in correcting things, he couldn't afford to court death like that!
"Then forget it. But things will always be resolved. Relax a bit!" Seeing that he wouldn't say, Jill didn't press further. She knew that since the other party didn't want to say, there was definitely a reason why they couldn't. They still had that much trust between them.
The two didn't say much more, just quietly watching the television, the scene once being very warm and harmonious.
Because of Tony's words, the entire Stark Industries' stock price soared, allowing someone to make a hefty profit.
But after looking at the pitiful nine-figure balance in his bank account, and then at the sky-high procurement list Red Queen had given him, Li Qingyuan decided to close the page to save himself the trouble!
Even though he knew the stock price of Stark Industries would skyrocket, he couldn't short the stock unless he wanted to attract the attention of the SEC. Earning two or three hundred million was already the limit; any more would trigger investigations from various parties, which would be counterproductive!
Soros only made less than seven billion U.S. dollars in total from the Asian financial crisis back then, and the consequence was being hunted by various Asian countries. To this day, he still has to be careful when going out, lest he be assassinated by special agents from those countries.
So, Li Qingyuan really couldn't understand how those reborn players, who could easily earn hundreds of billions by exploiting financial crises, did it!
Did they really think everyone else was dead? Could they even live to spend that much money?
"You're saying he made four hundred million U.S. dollars by using Stark Industries' stock during this period?" Nick Fury's voice changed after receiving Frank's report.
In fact, for a world-class intelligence organization head like him, four hundred million U.S. dollars wasn't much, not even enough to build a safe house!
But who ever complains about having too much money these days?
Every penny he had was painstakingly scraped together from the United Nations. Four hundred million dollars; he had to argue with those people for at least half a month.
"That should be about the amount. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up!" Frank said with a displeased tone.
Because of the other party's coercion and inducement, he had to act as their eyes and ears. However, Frank was still resentful.
The reason he reported this situation to Nick Fury was to prevent this kid from causing too much trouble.
After all, this was New York, and with money, you could basically solve ninety-nine percent of your problems.
Li Qingyuan had also visited Frank several times during this period. For this Asian man who took him in, Frank didn't feel much goodwill from him, but he also didn't sense any malice.
Based on his years of experience reading people, the other party should be a person who was neither entirely good nor entirely evil. If he didn't provoke the other party, then the other party should be able to follow the rules. But if he really angered the other party, there would probably be a huge problem.
A guy who's rich and capable, even S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't dare to act rashly!
"Wait!" Nick Fury shouted quickly when Frank was about to hang up the encrypted call.
"What else do you want?" Frank asked angrily.
"Here's the thing, next time if you see him buying any stocks or funds, remember to notify me!" Nick Fury had just instructed the technicians under him to pull up all of Li Qingyuan's stock trading records. He was shocked to find that the other party seemed to have the ability to predict the future.
When Tony Stark was kidnapped in Afghanistan, everyone in the world thought he was dead. The other party then bought a large amount of Stark Industries' stock, and then took the opportunity to sell it off and make a fortune when Tony Stark was rescued.
As a result, as soon as that guy Tony flew back to New York, he announced the closure of Stark Industries' weapons department, causing the stock, which had just risen, to be cut in half again.
Then Obadiah finally managed to pull the stock price back up, and then the Sixth Avenue battle happened.
Three times in a row, the other party's predictions were incredibly accurate, and even if there were some small errors in between, they didn't cause any losses at all!
Even Nick Fury suspected if the other party possessed some kind of divination superpower.
