61. The beginning of everything
"I think he's a little familiar......" Tony frowned, feeling a little strange as he looked at the young back who had let him lose all night.
"Sean Siperth." Harpy, the bodyguard standing behind him, reminded quietly. "The young man who was hailed in the newspapers as the 'second Tony Stark' is also said to be a genius scientist, and his latest invention of genetic drugs is worth billions of dollars, and he has reached a partnership with Osborne Industries, and the newspapers are all about him during this time."
Tony picked up a glass of champagne from the table and snorted disdainfully: "The second Tony Stark? There is only one me in this world, and I am unique! ”
The billionaire made a few bets, then seemed to lose interest in continuing to have fun, swaggering out of the hotel surrounded by his friend Rhodes and a group of bodyguards, a period of Tony's proudest days, since the twenty-one-year-old prodigal son turned back to take over the position of CEO of Stark Industries, he was regarded as the darling of the media.
No matter how many hot models he slept with, or what new weapons he invented, the reporters were always the first to flock to him, like sharks smelling blood. At this time, Tony Stark, indulging in the life of drunken gold fans, feeling the scenery sought after by everyone, except for invention and creation, there is nothing more than beauty to attract his attention.
"There are a lot of young talents, but there's only one Tony Stark." The mustachioed man praised himself without hesitation, and Colonel Rhodes next to him had long been accustomed to the narcissism of his friend.
Who told him to tell the truth, even if Tony has many shortcomings, it often gives the military bosses a headache, but his genius is beyond doubt.
"Don't underestimate that young man, a twenty-year-old genius scientist who invented gene drugs worth billions, the best students at the State University of New York, and some people even say that he and Dr. Connors have created a new era of American biopharmaceuticals and are strong contenders for the next Nobel Prize!" Colonel Rhodes added.
At Sean's age, he has achieved today's achievements, and he can indeed be called young and promising, with a bright future.
Tony, who was surrounded by everyone, smiled contemptuously, he was at the peak of his life, where would he listen to the advice of his friends, haha laughed: "If his mind is half of the gambling skill, then I am reluctant to admit that he is a genius." ”
"A twenty-year-old genius scientist? Invented billions worth of genetic drugs? Tony put his arm around Rod's shoulder, a hint of excitement on his drunken face, "I took over Stark Industries at the age of twenty-one, making it the most powerful arms giant in the country, and also controlling tens of billions of assets, and all his achievements seem insignificant in front of me - the men of the Stark family have always been the best." ”
Rod shook his head helplessly, turned to Harpy and said, "Take good care of him, don't let him be late tomorrow." ”
There are usually only two kinds of people in this world who can communicate with Tony normally, either a scientist who also has a genius mind, or a beautiful woman who can't hold back her inner impulses.
Colonel Rhodes, who does not belong to any of them, can only silently pray that this trip to the front line in Afghanistan will be successfully completed, and hope that Tony will not cause any trouble.
…………
"That's Tony Stark?"
Connors walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the mustachioed man who was flirting with a beautiful reporter, a billionaire who inherited Stark Industries at a young age, who not only made a big splash in tabloid scandals every day, but also made a name for himself in academia, especially in the field of weapons manufacturing.
"Well, an interesting guy who lives in the spirit world of his own self." Sean commented with a smile. "Speaking of which, I won a lot of money tonight against Mr. Stark, and I can afford to stay in the presidential suite of the hotel thanks to his generosity."
Connors smiled faintly, in his eyes, the young man next to him was a genius like Tony Stark, the decay rate algorithm that he had not solved for many years was easily solved by Sean, and the ALZ-112, which brought him fame and benefits, was an outstanding work of the other party, and he was only carrying out some trivial improvement work.
Connors actually disagrees with the evaluation given by the media newspaper as "Stark second", and he believes that sooner or later Sean will become a big man alongside Tony Stark.
Shaking off the strange thought in his head, Dr. Connors asked softly, "Where did you and Harry go?" I was alone at a banquet dealing with the rich and famous, and it was even more painful than putting me on stage. ”
"Harry was a little depressed because the ALZ-112 didn't go on the market quickly, and I asked him to put all his worries behind in Las Vegas and release the pressure in his heart."
Sean smiled strangely, and at this time, in the luxurious suite next door, Harry was fighting a few hot and charming girls alone, and hopefully he would be able to get up tomorrow morning.
Connors, who had remained celibate for half his life, was speechless, and finally had to sigh: "The young man is in good health." ”
Thankfully, the hotel's rooms were soundproofed enough to save Sean from a night of brain-piercing noises.
After a casual conversation with Dr. Connors, the middle-aged scientist returned to his room, where Sean stood alone in front of the window, looking out at the bustling city lit up at night.
He didn't expect that this trip to Las Vegas would make him meet the future Iron Man, and it was inferred from the timeline that Tony Stark should be going to the front line in Afghanistan to promote the company's new weapons, and thus encountered the kidnapping of terrorists - if the trajectory of fate has not changed because of the butterfly effect, then Iron Man will be born soon!
Wouldn't it be more interesting if he had come into this world and caused the butterfly's wings to flap, causing Tony Stark to die in the attack and not become Iron Man?
Sean thought with malice, as for deliberately going to hook up with Tony Stark, or participate in the plot, save the billionaire, in order to win the favor of the other party, so as to get the ladder up, he would not consider this idea at all.
His vision is to forge a path of his own, not attached to any superheroes or at the behest of S.H.I.E.L.D. - perhaps they will all become their enemies in the future, and they want to break free from the shackles of rules and regulations, and in addition to their own great power, they must have enough power and wealth, which are the cornerstones of human society.
Besides, the arrogant playboy wasn't a good partner, and Tony wasn't as easy to handle as Dr. Connors or as easy to play with as Harry. Sean's strong personality collides with Stark's pride and arrogance, which will only lead to unnecessary conflicts.
Rather than cooperating with the Iron Man of the future, it is better to take control of everything himself, and he looks forward to Ambrera taking root and growing stronger in this world.
Sean watched coldly as Tony got into the car with the beautiful reporter, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a cold arc, this is the beginning of all the timelines, the assembly of those superheroes, the clues and whereabouts of the six gems, all start here.
"Have a good trip, Tony." He said silently in his heart.
