Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 918 - 782: Trouble that Comes Knocking at the Door

Chapter 918: Chapter 782: Trouble that Comes Knocking at the Door

At the top of Stark Tower, Tony was in his lab, tuning the Mark 5 portable armor.

As he finished the adjustments and raised his hand, the hand armor automatically flew onto his palm, but the impact was a bit strong, causing Tony to stagger involuntarily.

“The power is a bit too strong. The speed can be reduced a bit.”

Swiping through the air on a virtual screen, Tony also directly devised a modification plan.

However, after being immersed in work and modifications, he couldn’t help but think about his palladium poisoning situation and subsequently sighed, picking up a large cup of chlorophyll handed over by the Mechanical Arm and gulping it down.

The shrapnel had entered his heart when he was previously kidnapped, and he could only rely on a magnet to hold it in place.

Although the creation of the portable, controllable nuclear fusion device—the Ark Reactor—solved the problem for the long term.

But the Palladium Element in the reactor was eroding his Life.

If this continued, he might not have much longer to live.

For someone who has always enjoyed life as a playboy of the World, this was quite hard to accept.

“There’s still time, there must be a replacement… Jarvis, what’s the schedule like recently?”

After guzzling down a cup of green liquid, with a ding Tony left his empty cup on the table and asked somewhat listlessly.

Now, he had handed over the company’s affairs directly to Pepper, while these minor matters were all arranged by Jarvis.

“Sir, there’s a hearing about the Iron Armor tomorrow, and Justin Hammer from Umbrella Company will also be attending. There will likely be some questions aimed at you.”

“Umbrella Company again…”

Tony frowned at the thought. This Umbrella Company rose strangely fast, merging numerous large corporations, such as Hanmo and Ao’s, and stretched its tentacles into all walks of life with a huge number of supportive politicians as well.

They’re also colluding with some dark forces behind the scenes, really eating into both the underworld and the legitimate world.

In terms of scale and magnitude, they even surpass Stark Group by a lot.

After he withdrew from manufacturing weapons, they didn’t hesitate to gobble it all up in one go, and now they’re even more deformed.

But unlike the current Stark Group, which is highly controlled by himself, there are many interest groups behind Umbrella.

Ever since his own Iron Armor appeared, they have been trying to get the blueprints of his armor and Ark Reactor through various channels, both overtly and covertly.

His most trusted associate, Obadiah, seems to have provided them with the blueprints of the first generation, but there’s no need to worry since they lack the Ark Reactor.

This hearing is probably also something they’ve been fanning the flames behind the scenes.

“Was the situation in Raccoon City ever figured out? Is that guy named Leon who spoke last time trustworthy?”

“Many records about Raccoon City have been deleted. I wasn’t created at that time, and Anbrella Company likely has its own AI, so their network cleaning is very thorough.

“Leon and some of the Raccoon City survivors seem to be constantly targeted by Umbrella Company, and only thanks to Leon’s connections are they barely managing now. But they dare not openly oppose Umbrella, so their credibility is judged to be not low.”

“The virus, huh…”

Tony expressed his ruefulness.

It might be because of his recent pale complexion, that Umbrella Company secretly proposed conditions they claim could treat his medical condition.

Truthfully, he was somewhat tempted, and after Anbrella swallowed up Ao’s, they indeed became quite strong in the medical field.

It’s just that he really dislikes Umbrella, and he also has his own pride; he does not wish to accept such coercion.

“Sir, we recently received an interesting email from Mo Country.”

“Mo Country? Interesting? What’s it about, do tell.”

This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.

Tony, a bit listless, now also reluctantly wants to cheer himself up a bit with some amusement.

“The email started with ‘Mr. Jarvis,’ and the content is also interesting, a kind of smartphone integration…”

Jarvis calmly relayed the contents of the email, which elicited a faintly interested expression on Tony’s face.

“It’s not something extraordinary, but the design he proposes is quite good for the average person. I like his phrase ‘Only Mr. Stark can change the World.’ Nice.”

Tony’s mood finally improved considerably.

Yes, who am I? I’m Tony!

The world’s most famous playboy, top scientist, top billionaire!

Also, I’m Iron Man!

Of course, only I can change the World…

For things used by Tony himself, he had long surpassed the scope of smartphones, having developed artificial intelligence and various black-tech Mark armors.

But it’s undeniable that for the average person, flip phones are still commonly used right now.

Compared to what Tao Yu described, smart phones indeed have a huge gap.

Overall, such technological integration is not a challenge for Stark Group.

Just hearing the description, Tony already had a concept in his mind, and the rough framework was almost outlined, with only some adaptations remaining.

“I’ve now shut down the weapons division; seems okay to leave something behind…”

Tony sighed, perhaps not knowing when he might disappear due to palladium poisoning. If so, it seemed nice to leave something in the hearts of ordinary people.

“Jarvis, start a new project, create the engineering blueprints, and send them to me for revisions. Let’s name the project… call it ‘Anthony.’
