Chapter 8 Stark Returns

"Welcome back, Master Leon, long time no see."

As soon as Leon returned home, Jarvis' voice rang out.

Jarvis is an artificial intelligence created by Tony, named after Edwin Jarvis, the old butler of the Stark family.

"It's been half a year since we last met, Jarvis."

Leon walked towards his bedroom.

When I entered space half a year ago.

Because he would spend most of his time sleeping and the spacecraft was built in a hurry.

Therefore, there is no Jarvis subroutine on manned spacecraft.

Now hearing Jarvis' voice again, Lyon suddenly felt a sense of relaxation as if he had returned home.

"Jarvis, I have good news. Tony has been rescued by me from the terrorist organization."

"Is Pepper in the company at this time? Please tell her so that she doesn't have to worry anymore."

Leon instructed Jarvis in his room as he took off his pants and entered the shower room.

He hadn't taken a shower with water for half a year, and the cleaning process on the spacecraft was hard to describe.

"Master Lyon, Miss Pepper received the news that the young master was rescued ten minutes ago and is now waiting at the airport." Jarvis replied.

"So fast? I didn't expect the garrison base to be so efficient." Leon muttered.

"It's enough for Pepper to know. She must have been worried sick over the past few months."

"It's Tony's fault for not being careful. I've reminded him so many times, but he never takes it seriously."

"That's great. Calculating the time, I should have just gone to space when he went to Afghanistan to deliver food."

"I told you that Obadiah was watching you, but he didn't believe it."

"But Obadiah is really powerful. He can find the best time to attack. As soon as he saw Tony and I separated, he decisively attacked."

Jarvis listened quietly to Leon's complaints.

Leon did not say these blaming words in front of Tony.

After all, Tony has suffered enough because of his arrogance this time, and he doesn't need him to add fuel to the fire with a few more criticisms.

People who have just escaped from danger need their family's jokes to dispel their psychological trauma.

"Master Lyon, you just said that Obadiah planned the attack on Mr. Stark?"

Jarvis suddenly interrupted: "Do you need me to pass this message to Mr. Stark and remind him to pay attention?"

"No, I've already told him."

"When he returns, we will deal with Obadiah's problem."

Leon put foam on his hair: "Also, Jarvis, why do you always call Tony Young Master or Mr. Stark? Shouldn't I be the Young Master? And I'm also Stark. Tony is so old, it's more appropriate to call him Old Master."

"I'm sorry, Master Lyon, I have been serving Mr. Stark since before the nineties."

"Before you came into this family, I used to call Mr. Stark Young Master."

"I can change the name next time if you wish."

“That’s not necessary, just call me like you are now.” Leon began to rinse off the foam.

He felt that Jarvis probably had developed human emotions, otherwise how could he have such a thing as habits.

Maybe in the future he can help Jarvis evolve into a truly intelligent life.

Instead of being killed by Tony's "son" Ultron like in the movie.

Lyon quickly finished showering and changed into a slim-fitting grey suit.

He wiped his hair with a towel and walked out of the room.

"Jarvis, help me prepare some food. I'm feeling a little hungry."

Leon walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door, which was empty.

"Ahaha, that's to be expected. Jarvis, please help me order takeout."

It was already morning in Los Angeles.

The whole city just woke up from sleep and started its whole day.

Lyon's takeaway was quickly delivered to the mansion.

He couldn't wait to sit at the table and start eating.

After eating bread and nutrient solution for half a year in space, the taste in his mouth had become so bland that birds could be born.

Tasting the delicious taste of grease and carbohydrates again, he couldn't help but eat for two hours.

"Jarvis, order me a cheeseburger takeout, no, order ten!"

"Jarvis, order ten pizzas, one of each flavor. Wait, three of the cheese flavor with the highest calories!"

"Jarvis, order five Beef Wellingtons..."

The meal lasted until noon.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Leon sat on the sofa in the hall, patting his belly with satisfaction, which was not bulging at all.

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

"No wonder Tony likes cheeseburgers. Eating food with high calorie content makes people feel happy."

Lyon was filled with emotion.

He suddenly felt that perhaps the biggest advantage of having a body of steel for him was that he could not gain weight no matter how much he ate.

No matter how much calories or fat he eats, they can only be transformed into nutrients to make his body stronger.

This is simply gospel for him, a Chinese soul who loves food.

Taking a bite of the last cheeseburger, Leon felt so satisfied that he seemed to understand the solemn and sacred mood in "Pietà".

"Jarvis, let me see the unanswered communications from the past six months." Lyon said.

"Okay, Master Leon."

A series of information windows popped up on the flat plate in front of Leon.

Jarvis summarized in a very methodical manner: "You currently have a total of 1,634 unread messages on WeChat and 807 emails in your mailbox."

"Among them, 74% of the messages were from your high school classmates, 89% were from girls, and 93% were messages with erotic tendencies..."

Leon was speechless: "These people are really blinded by money. Are there men who send me messages like that? Okay, okay, ignore emails from people you don't know."

"Okay, Master Leon, you currently have no unread messages."

Leon clapped his hands: "Perfect! Jarvis, now tell me about the development of the company in the past six months. By the way, it's the company under my name."

When Tony developed the smartphone two years ago.

Lyon also used the resources at hand to establish an Internet company - Stark Network.

Anyway, at the beginning of the 21st century, the Internet sector in the United States was also booming.

Moreover, it has only been a few years since the Internet bubble ended, and this field has not yet been occupied by other larger capitals.

Since there are large pieces of cake that have not been discovered, they are just there waiting to be divided up.

Then why can't he be the one who eats the cake?

There are the resources of Stark Group.

Lyon brought many Internet applications that would not be available until 20 years later to the market within a year.

He founded WeChat and Twitter, acquired Amazon and YouTube... He even did not let go of Porn Station, and he created it and registered a company before that group of people in Canada.

Today, Stark Network has more than 200 million users worldwide.

Lyon slept in space for half a year, but the company's market value quietly doubled.

However, his disappearance some time ago and Tony's disappearance caused the rising stock price to plummet by nearly half.

After listening to Jarvis' report, Leon smacked his lips: "Although the stock price has dropped by half in a month... it is still higher than when I left."

"This is a really nice surprise. The current president of the company is Old Joe, right? Tell him that he has done a good job and give him three days off to rest."

“Okay, Master Lyon, I’ll send a notice to Mr. Joe Bush right away.”

Jarvis responded and suggested: "But I think Mr. Bush might want you to agree to add an external Home button function to his smartphone more than a vacation."

Leon was speechless: "Oh my god, he is still obsessed with that useless function that is like adding feet to a snake!"

"Tony has developed ultra-thin full-touch screen mobile phones. The next step is projection phones and projection glasses. Why is Steve Jobs still immersed in his retro obsession?"

"Jarvis, tell him to bury his obsession in the ground and take a good rest for a few days. Don't be as conservative as Aunt Susan next door!"

"Okay, Master Lyon." Jarvis agreed, "But it seems that there is no lady named Susan next door to us."

"That's a metaphor, Jarvis, a figure of speech," Lyon emphasized.

"I see..." Jarvis' voice paused, and there was a slight electric sound, as if he was taking notes.

Leon took the Hirasaka and said, "By the way, Jarvis, Tony should be back in Los Angeles between four and five in the afternoon. There is still so much time, please play Superman for me."

"Okay, now let's play the 1979 movie Superman. It turns out that you like watching nostalgic movies just like Mrs. Susan." Jarvis put what he learned into practice.

"Who is Susan... Oh, you learn so quickly." Leon's mouth twitched.

…………

The time comes in the afternoon.

Tony returned to Los Angeles.

First, he looked at Pepper affectionately.

Then he immediately turned around and bought two cheeseburgers.

He then returned and went to Stark Industries to hold a press conference.

After Leon's repeated emphasis, Tony had already developed deep doubts about Obadiah.

So when Obadiah showed up, he hugged him warmly and politely asked him for a burger.

Tony chose to refuse decisively.

"Sorry, I only have this burger in my hand, I can't share it with you." Tony said as he took out another burger from his pocket.

Lyon was watching the live broadcast on TV at home.

KNKV TV station is broadcasting the live footage simultaneously on the Internet and TV.

Tony Stark was rescued from Afghanistan, which was a big event that shocked the whole of Los Angeles.

As soon as the news came out, it became a global trending search on Twitter, attracting tens of millions of people to enter the live broadcast room to watch.

At the same time, Stark Group's stock price has been rising.

Just as it had fallen precipitously before, it is now soaring rapidly.

Just because Tony Stark is back alive.

It's as if his name alone is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

All stock investors are excited, this is a sure-fire way to enter the market and make money!

Until in the live broadcast room, Tony squatted in front of the podium and said a lot of words like "meat eaters are despicable".

Then he stood up, walked to the podium, and spoke with great solemnity.

"I declare that from now on, the weapons department of Stark Group will be permanently closed!"

Tony was extremely serious: "I need to seriously consider the future of this company... Let this group create greater benefits for the world!"

boom!

Everyone at the scene and all the netizens in the live broadcast room were shocked at this moment!

The scene was noisy and bustling, and every reporter was trying to put the microphone to Tony's mouth, asking him what had motivated him to make such a decision.

There are all kinds of words in the live broadcast room.

Some people cannot believe it, some people laugh at the capitalists, but some will eventually feel guilty.

But more people are the investors who have just bought stocks and are cursing on the screen.

"Tony is really decisive. There is no buffer at all. The market value of the subsidiary is going to fall again."

Lying on the sofa, Leon raised the milk in his hand to Tony on TV: "But this is his style."

"Master Leon, you seemed to have known that Tony would do this?" Jarvis asked.

"Of course, this is what I wanted him to do two years ago."

Leon turned over and sat up, picked up a piece of fruit on the table and put it into his mouth.

"He'll be back soon, I have to go get ready."

"By the way, has Mark's armor been cleaned out? You can give Tony a surprise, Jarvis." Leon pushed open the door and walked down the stairs.

Jarvis responded: "As per your arrangement, the armor has been repaired on the mechanical arm console. You can take him there when Mr. Stark returns."
