After habitually leaving a pile of messes for Pepper Potts to handle, Tony Stark directly took a helicopter back to his mansion.
Ultimately, he made the decision to shut down the weapons department. This was a result of serious consideration, even though he hadn't been kidnapped in Afghanistan. He still arrived at a similar conclusion.
For him, money was something he'd always had. Making money wasn't a big deal, but what he was pursuing now was making clean money.
Rich and talented, that's just how he rolled!
"Jarvis, what's the stock price now?" Tony Stark asked as he walked toward the basement.
"The stock price has already halved, sir. Actually, you could simultaneously announce that you have developed a brand-new clean energy source. The cold nuclear fusion technology has been overcome by you. At that time, Stark Industries' stock will not only not decrease but can also skyrocket. From a rational analysis, this is the best option for you!"
Jarvis's voice came from Tony Stark's Bluetooth headset.
"That's true, but I also want to buy back some more shares!" Tony Stark said. "I'll take this opportunity to buy back all the shares I can!"
Tony Stark had taken back a lot of shares after Obadiah and several other shareholders were arrested, but it still wasn't enough. The fact that Obadiah could manipulate the board of directors had sounded a warning bell for him.
"And isn't that Lin Feng always hoping for Stark Industries' stock to drop so he can buy low? Then let's give him the opportunity!" Tony Stark said with a slight smile.
"Sir, I don't understand," Jarvis said.
"Because the more we give him, the more attached he'll become, the more he'll feel like he belongs here!" Tony Stark said. "Didn't we work with Nick Fury to do a psychological profile on Lin Feng before? From his usual words and actions, his online posts, and even his conversations with his parents, you can see that he has no sense of belonging here at all. Can you believe that he doesn't even socialize much?
He currently has over twenty million in assets, and his family's worth is over a hundred million. I've never seen a rich second-generation like him. What does he do every day? Cultivate, then go out and be a hero, just like an ascetic monk. What sense of belonging can he have here?"
What Tony Stark meant was that he and Nick Fury had previously joined forces to analyze Lin Feng's psychological state with a psychological profile. Both of them were severely paranoid, knowing that Lin Feng was a soul from another universe, no matter how much Lin Feng appeared to be on the side of justice and order. They still wouldn't be at ease.
One of the conclusions drawn from the analysis was that Lin Feng was also human in other universes, and he should also be Chinese. Therefore, from this point of view, the universe Lin Feng originally came from might be similar to their universe, and the Earth was also similar.
It was still uncertain whether Lin Feng could suddenly return to his universe, but he might return to China at any time.
After all, he was a true Chinese. He had also expressed in his diary that if things didn't work out, and this world was too dangerous, he would return to China, at least to stay away from the center of danger.
Although it was only mentioned occasionally, it was extremely dangerous for Tony Stark and Nick Fury. Lin Feng's existence was too important, a top-secret matter for both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Tony Stark, concerning the future timeline. They were even relying on Lin Feng to give them hints about the future.
Especially with the talk of world destruction, alien invasions, and the arrival of gods, it was already giving them a headache.
So, Tony Stark could have announced the breakthrough in cold fusion technology on the spot, causing Stark Industries' market value to skyrocket. However, he had to wait, wait for Lin Feng to get involved.
Now, Tony Stark and Nick Fury were in the same boat: they were wary of Lin Feng, yet couldn't do without him. This complex psychology was something an AI like Jarvis couldn't understand.
In addition, there was a series of plans to increase Lin Feng's sense of belonging waiting to be implemented.
"What has he been up to lately?" Tony Stark took off his suit jacket, changed into casual clothes, and sat down at his office desk in the basement.
"According to the results from our satellite monitoring, his daily routine hasn't changed much. He still practices his boxing every day, and he's still playing the hero. There are no criminals daring to commit crimes in the few blocks near his home anymore!" Jarvis said.
Tony Stark nodded. He knew something about Lin Feng's actions, even knowing that Lin Feng called himself Homelander.
Because he was rich, he launched a satellite specifically for this purpose. So, although Lin Feng changed his clothes when he went out, combined with the photos of Lin Feng acting as Homelander online, it was easy to deduce that it was none other than him.
This also aligned with Tony Stark's understanding of Lin Feng's Chinese identity. "Look at Homelander, what a proper and upright name."
"He looks like a proper Chinese person!"
"That's great. You have to be tough on those scumbags. Expecting the law to punish them? Ha!" Tony Stark was quite appreciative of Lin Feng's heavy-handed approach.
During Lin Feng's elimination of evil, he would administer different punishments depending on the crime, such as killing them, breaking their limbs, or disabling them.
As for the other two, Spider-Woman and Wonder Woman, they mostly just stopped the criminals and tied them up, waiting for the police to arrive.
What could the police do? Wonder Woman's serious criminals could be interrogated and sentenced, but the ones Spider-Woman caught were mostly thugs and hooligans. They'd be out in a couple of days, continuing to cause trouble.
There was nothing else to do. The prisons weren't big enough!
"However, it's worth noting that his strength has increased again!" Jarvis said.
"Increased? How has it increased? Did he reach that, what was it, Dan Realm, from the data?" Tony Stark asked.
"No, take a look at this!"
Jarvis said, projecting a video clip directly in front of Tony Stark.
It was footage from a security camera in an alley, showing Lin Feng, in his Homelander form, punching a wall so hard that it crumbled, burying the criminals on the other side who were in the middle of a robbery.
Tony Stark was dumbfounded when he saw this.
Could a normal human really possess such strength?
Isn't that a bit over the top?
