Ever since he made the Mark 50 based on the knowledge in his head, William really admired Tony Stark.
But no matter how powerful the Mark 50 was, compared with the Sentinel armor, it was like the difference between the Mark 50 and the Mark 1.
And with his talent for magic, William was confident that he was the technological version of Stark, and could crush any mage on Earth.
If he had lived for more than five hundred years like Gu Yi, he could definitely beat Gu Yi easily. He even had a vague feeling that after he received benefits from the Tree of Life half a year ago, the power of the bottleneck in his cultivation base had gradually increased.
The bottleneck that restricts his Magic Strength has been loosening a little bit. When his Magic Level is improved again, his Magic Strength should really be comparable to Ancient One.
This was probably why Gu Yi was in a hurry to take him in as a disciple.
Status wasn't worth mentioning for some people, but for William, whose soul was a citizen of the Celestial Empire, respecting one's teacher was a basic rule.
If Gu Yi hadn't let William down, he still had to at least show some respect.
Besides, although Gu Yi hadn't taught him magic, he had kindly reminded him several times, and William had indeed benefited from using Kamat Taj's name.
Coupled with the fact that these Secret Mages didn't enter the world and didn't have any conflicts of interest with William, they also took it upon themselves to protect Earth. He would be crazy to make an enemy out of the Secret Mages.
Of course, it was impossible for William to bow down to Gu Yi.
It was not as if she had raised him from a young age and taught him everything she knew. She was like a teacher, but she was actually a mother. There was no one else in the world who could make William bow down to her.
But when he thought of the magic bottleneck, should he find a chance to go to Kamat Taj and ask Gu Yi, his cheap master, if he could break through the bottleneck in advance?
"William, William?"
William, who was thinking about how to improve his strength, looked up and saw Obadiah and the others sitting opposite him looking at him.
Without William's reminder, Sunday immediately repeated what everyone had just said at an extremely fast speed.
So, under Stark's unhappy and gloating gaze, William smiled at Pepper, who was standing nervously at the side, and said, "Thank you, Ms. Potts."
Then, he looked at the others and said, "This weapon is good for killing rats in the desert. If we test it in the desert, the US soldiers at the frontline will have a better experience."
"Just not bad?" Stark was dissatisfied. "Why don't you sign a confidentiality agreement and I'll let you see the core data?"
"No need." William then closed his eyes under everyone's shocked gazes and immersed his consciousness into the system in his mind.
He pulled up the data of the Jerek Guide Egg and combined it with Sunday's existing guide egg technology in the world, adding and deleting the core data of the Jerek Guide Egg one by one.
When William talked about the electronic program of the Jerek Guide Egg, Stark hurriedly pressed down on William's arm and interrupted, "That's enough, buddy, that's enough. We can discuss the rest of the technology in private."
William did admire Stark, but that was when he became Iron Man, to the Stark who snapped his fingers more than ten years later.
At this time, he was just a rich, extraordinary, and exceptionally smart playboy.
In front of William, who had mastered the technology of the future, the difference was like the difference between a primary school student and a PhD.
In other things like magic, mysticism, and alien technology, the gap was as big as a baby and an adult. It was no problem to say that he knew nothing.
Therefore, he thought that William only relied on some non-core data and his brain to guess the core data of the Jerek Guide Egg. Moreover, it only took him ten minutes to guess the core data of the Jerek Guide Egg. Some aspects even seemed to be more practical than what he thought.
Stark felt a sense of powerlessness. Even though he understood that William probably calculated it in his mind, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you think of all this when you were in a daze just now?"
Seeing that Stark's tone and expression were no longer frivolous, William smiled and said, "When I was young, I was too poor. Other people could afford game consoles, even those hundreds or thousands of first-generation computers, but I could only envy them.
So, I didn't want to increase my mother's burden, and I really wanted to play games, so I could only go to the second-hand game console market to find broken or abandoned game consoles and try to repair them myself.
A few years later, as I learned more and more on my own, I became more and more familiar with the parts and remembered more and more.
"One night, when I was sleeping, many 3D models of game consoles suddenly appeared in my dream. When I woke up, I realized that as long as I had studied the game consoles, I could assemble them at will in my mind.
"At first, it was the game consoles, then it was small electrical appliances, all the way until my mother's off-road vehicle, which she had been driving for more than ten years, could form all the parts in my mind and assemble them bit by bit like building blocks.
"One day, when my mother sent me to school, she complained that the off-road vehicle's fuel consumption was getting higher and higher. So, I started thinking about how to optimize the car.
"Unfortunately, by the time I finished optimizing it, I had already received a letter from the university. Facing a family that couldn't even afford the tuition fees, I felt that I needed start-up funds if I wanted to build a car.
When I thought about how to earn money and earn my first million pounds from selling games, I realized that the money I could earn from the industry was too slow compared to the stock market. "
Hearing William's nonsense, the old man on his left exclaimed, "So, what you're saying is that when you predicted the stock market crash eight years ago, you had already memorized all the data in your memory.
Then, you formed a model in your mind so that you could accurately predict the specific day when the stock market crash would happen? "
William shrugged and didn't say anything.
Suddenly, it occurred to him that the universe he was in was probably not Universe 616, but another numbered parallel universe.
No, it should be said that since he appeared and mastered the space gem, this universe couldn't be Universe 616, but a new universe that combined Marvel movies and other movies.
The others looked at William, who was deep in thought, and the more they thought that he had really built a model of the stock market in his mind.
"How is this possible?" Obadiah looked at William in disbelief.
The old man beside William didn't know if he was William's escort or if he wanted to put in a good word for cooperation in other fields.
Looking at Obadiah with dissatisfaction, he asked, "What's impossible about this? Even a car from 20 years ago has at least 20,000 parts.
If you remember it for ten years, it would be good if you could remember it, let alone assemble and optimize it.
However, when William was 15 or 16 years old, he could already remember tens of thousands of parts, disassemble them, and assemble them in his mind. When he was 19 years old and went to college, he optimized the car.
That's why William can casually build a supercar that is several years more advanced than other sports car companies. That's why he can build a spaceship and even get involved in other fields. "
Everyone could hear the flattery in his words, but when they looked at the smiling William and thought about his achievements, they suddenly felt that it wasn't completely impossible to predict the stock market.
Now, he could guess the core technology of Jericho's Egg in just ten minutes. It shouldn't be difficult for William, who has a brain power comparable to a supercomputer and is more flexible, right?
After listening to William's nonsense, Stark couldn't help but sigh. His childhood seemed to be much better than William's.
Even if something had happened to his parents, it had been after he became an adult. Compared to William, who had lost his father at birth and his grandfather and grandmother at the age of ten, he was much happier.
Since he was so much better than William, why was William, who was 11 years younger than him, so far ahead of him?
Recalling how he had built his first circuit board at the age of four, modified a motorcycle engine at the age of six, and graduated from MIT at the age of 17, Stark didn't feel that he was lacking in any way.
The difference was probably so big because he had wasted too much time. Even the Jericho's Egg had been created to deal with the shareholders.
Recalling how the media reported that William hid in the lab all day, apart from his normal needs, Stark felt that if that was really the case, he would probably go crazy in a few months.
With the entire Stark Industries to deal with, it would be too boring for him to think about inventions all day long.
He couldn't help but think that William had either handed over all the family business to his mother or to two women. Stark envied William for being able to find someone he could trust. He couldn't help but turn his head to Little Pepper, who was staring at William in shock.
Thankfully, Little Pepper was just surprised, and didn't look at Stark with love like she usually did. Stark's mood instantly improved.
Now that he was in a good mood, Little Pepper was a lot more pleasing to the eye. He couldn't help but wonder if he should copy William and hand over the company's trivial matters to her.
That way, he would have more time to think about inventions, and he could also get closer to more girls.
Knock, knock, knock. Knocking on the table, Stark said with a smile, "Okay, since everyone agrees that the test firing of the Egg will take place in the desert, let's talk about diversification."
Everybody looked at William when he made the suggestion. William shrugged. "Why are you looking at me? Apart from machinery, the only projects that can be related to Stark Industries' current businesses are energy and space.
If you want to get rid of some negative influences, you have to work harder on existing medical and agricultural projects. However … "William frowned." Are you sure you won't be targeted by other corporations if you do everything? "
That was indeed troublesome, but it then occurred to them that William seemed to be doing business in all these areas.
Also, he was involved in more areas than they were. Not only was he involved in networks, batteries, electricity, natural gas, water, real estate, antiques, football, cars, racing, he even seemed to have reached a partnership with a country called Wakanda a few days ago.
But why was it that William was rarely targeted in Europe?
That question only lingered in everyone's minds for a moment before they realized that the young man in front of them was much more ruthless in his methods of revenge than they, who were in the military industry.
Forget about taking revenge on William, even if someone wanted to hire a hitman organization, the hitman organization would sell their employer to William.
Furthermore, more than four thousand lives had been taken in one night. Everyone's hair stood on end when they thought about it.
Obadiah was the only one who knew that things were more serious than they thought. Those weren't four thousand ordinary people, but four thousand werewolves.
But if they were trapped on Mars and faced the crisis of running out of food at any moment, and heard that someone was destroying a spaceship being built on Earth, they would probably do what William did and send anyone who wanted them dead to hell.
Fortunately, William was as famous for his reputation as he was for his ruthless methods.
After so many years, they had never heard of any of his collaborators being plotted against by him, and all of them had made a lot of money.
At the thought of the people in England who had made a fortune with William, everyone except Stark and Little Pepper felt an itch in their hearts.
But William's reputation was really good, but it wasn't easy to join him.
In the whole of the United States, it seemed that only Justin Hammer of Hammer Industries, the lucky guy, had worked with William.
Justin, a small player who had never been taken seriously in the past, had made a net profit of one or two hundred million dollars a year by acting as the agent of the M416 weapon.
With this advantage, the guy's Hammer Industries' stock price had been rising in recent years, from a shaky third-rate company with a market value of two or three billion dollars, to a star stock with a market value of ten billion dollars.
All of this was given by William. At the thought of the market value of billions, everyone looked at William with fiery eyes.
Seeing that the shareholders were almost lying on the ground, Stark, who was hugging William's thigh, knocked on the table again. "Then let's do energy first, and then increase investment in medicine and agriculture. Other projects will be discussed when there are results."
After saying that, the guy shamelessly moved his chair. Under William's surprised gaze, he lowered his head and whispered, "This is Las Vegas, buddy. We're done with the company's matters. If you're interested, you can go take a look."
"Wait, Tony," Obadiah hurriedly interrupted Stark. "Even if you want to hang out, don't take William with you, lest he be kicked out of the house by his mother, Mrs. Lena Devonshire, when he returns to London."
No one in the room knew what Stark was up to.
It wasn't easy for these shareholders to see William. How could they let Stark take William away alone?
"Yes, yes, let's go to lunch and play golf to get to know each other better. At the same time, we'll tell William about some of the agreed rules of the upper circle of the United States.
So that when he has a new project to enter the United States market in the future, he won't make a mistake in decision-making because he doesn't understand it.
And the best show is at the banquet in the evening. How can a girl in Las Vegas compare to a Hollywood star? "
"Haha." Everyone immediately agreed. Stark couldn't block everyone's way of making money even if he became Iron Man.
Hell, seeing that the shareholders had reached a tacit understanding, Stark, who wanted to take William to have a good time, lest all the major shareholders hook up with William, could only helplessly follow everyone to the restaurant.
He didn't intend to leave like this. Before inviting William to attend the board meeting, he had already thought of the current situation.
Since he couldn't take William away, even if everyone wanted to reach a cooperation, he wouldn't be able to get rid of him. He even wanted to fight for a dominant position and talk to William on behalf of everyone.
And it's best to talk about something today, so that everyone won't meet William in private in the future. As for more long-term things, he couldn't care less.
