As the shining stars hung over New York City.
This historic experiment to change history was finally declared over.
Under the organization of the military, everyone began boarding the ships off the island in an orderly manner.
As for Tony Stark, being a billionaire and military darling, he of course did not need to leave the island on a ship like the ordinary audience.
An advanced armed helicopter had long been waiting.
Under the escort of several bodyguards, Tony slowly made his way through the socialites who kept shoving notes at him, and headed towards the waiting helicopter.
Thump thump thump.
As the helicopter rotor spun rapidly, it looked like the armed helicopter was about to take off.
But in the next moment, a scrawny young man, taking advantage of the bodyguards' inattention, ran to the side of the helicopter, and shouted at Tony in the helicopter: "Mr. Stark, please wait..."
"Looks like a male reporter."
Happy glanced at him and reported to Tony.
"Let's go."
If it was a pretty female reporter, Tony might have wasted a night with her.
"Wait, Mr. Stark..."
As the helicopter rotor accelerated, the helicopter had already lifted off the ground.
But the guy seemed to have no regard for his life, directly grabbing the bottom crossbar of the helicopter, trying to recreate a certain scene from Captain America.
"Sh*t...do you want to die?"
Tony and Happy were both helpless, and could only make the helicopter land again. Happy got off the helicopter directly, and pressed the guy to the ground.
"Well, I'm suddenly very interested in what made this guy not even care about his life."
Tony had gotten off the helicopter at some point, and said to Happy.
"You got lucky, kid."
Happy grumbled.
"Mr. Stark, I'm Eddie Broc..."
"I don't have the patience to know your name, just tell me what's the matter."
Tony interrupted him impatiently.
"Okay...okay, Mr. Stark, please look, this is what I shot at your newly established biological experiment."
Eddie didn't hesitate, and carefully took out a few photos from his jacket, wanting to hand them to Tony.
"Sorry, I don't like taking things handed to me by strangers."
Tony waved his hand while pointing at Happy.
"Sir, look!"
Taking the photos from Eddie, Happy couldn't help but be startled. He still hurriedly handed them to Tony.
"Hmm? This is..."
Tony's originally casual gaze instantly became serious when he saw the photos.
"Where did you get these?"
Tony put away the photos and stared sternly at Eddie.
"I took these at your biological lab."
"You mean you secretly took them."
Happy directly pointed out.
"Um... yes."
"I mean, why did you give these to me, or what do you want to get? Money? Other benefits..."
"No no no, I just want you to know the truth... or if possible, I hope you can shut down that lab."
Eddie waved his hands in a panic, saying he wasn't doing it for money or benefits.
"Looks like you're an intern reporter."
"What do you mean?"
"Mr. Stark means professional reporters aren't as naive as you, or should I say stupid!"
Happy didn't hesitate to poke at him.
"Let's go, Happy."
Tony directly turned around and got back on the helicopter.
Thump thump thump...
As the helicopter gradually gained altitude, Tony took out those photos again in the cabin.
Looking at the man tied to the lab table in the photos, the faint green glow emitting from his arm, and the extremely painful, almost beastly expression on the man's face, a solemn look flashed across his eyes.
...
"Hey, you were really brave just now."
As Eddie watched the helicopter gradually disappear into the sky, a pleasant voice came from behind him.
"Who are you?"
Eddie turned around, looking at the pretty blonde in front of him, somewhat at a loss.
"You were brave, and you're a good reporter."
"Oh yes, do you have more photos like that?"
Hearing the beauty praise him, Eddie couldn't help blushing as he hurriedly took out some new photos from his bag and said, "Of course, I have many backups, after all, I'm not an idiot."
"Hmm...it was them after all."
Looking at the somewhat familiar face on the lab table in the photo, Gwen confirmed her guess.
"Remember, pretend you never encountered this, it's not something you can get involved in."
With the information obtained, Gwen's smile slowly disappeared, and she directly turned and left.
"Sure enough, those missing homeless people were all taken by Stark Industries, but what kind of terrible thing are they researching?"
Recalling the somewhat horrifying scenes in the photos, a solemn look flashed across Gwen's face.
"No, I have to find a chance to sneak into that lab and see what exactly they are researching."
Gwen made up her mind silently.
...
"General, let's talk again, Oscorp Industries can not only provide future weaponry, but also a human enhancement drug..."
At the same time, Norman Osborn was still pleading with the military to revoke their earlier decision.
But all that was left for him was the helicopter tail rising into the sky.
"Damn Tony Stark, why couldn't you have returned a few days later."
According to the purchase order contract, the military funds would have been deposited into their Oscorp account in a few days.
But now, everything was over.
"You forced me to do this, I can't lose these orders, I can't lose Oscorp..." Clenching his fists, Norman's eyes suddenly became determined, as if he had made a decision.
Then he turned and left without hesitation, leaving behind a lonely back.
...
"Endless, inexhaustible energy?"
In a luxury villa, Obadiah slowly turned off the 120-inch TV screen, sitting on the sofa, sipping red wine, and lamenting.
"Humph, as long as the experiment succeeds, whether it's Stark Industries or this endless energy, it will all be mine!"
Thinking this, Obadiah couldn't help but reveal a brilliant smile on his face.
Ding...
Suddenly, his phone on the table rang, seeming to have received a text message.
"Sir, Tony Stark has just received some detrimental information about you, I hope you prepare early..."
Seeing this unsigned text message, Obadiah's face instantly turned ugly.
"Tony Stark, you really came back at the wrong time, I'm about to succeed."
"So, for my bright future, and for my Stark Indu... no, it should be Stane Industries, you have to go down and see your foolish dad."
Obadiah's face was gloomy as he slowly made his decision.
...
Soon, a few days had passed.
And the people of New York City had gotten used to a star brighter than the moon hanging in the sky every night.
In the first few days, some were still very curious, using telescopes to observe, and even looking forward to the man-made star exploding with a bang in space.
But after several consecutive days, everyone gradually realized that the artificial sun device seemed to be very stable, and there were no accidents even in the harsh space environment.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people continued to pay attention to the brighter "star".
Of course, this did not include the government and military, because at the moment, they were closely monitoring the "star" floating in space.
Infinite energy could almost rewrite the current world order.
If it wasn't the super-powerful, god-like Superman who put that "artificial star" up there, they would have been unable to restrain themselves long ago from capturing it back to study.
And so, until a few days later, Dr. Pym's apartment window was knocked on.
Pym, who was researching the next-generation Ant-Man suit, immediately tidied everything up and went to the window to see which naughty kid was so disobedient.
But he suddenly saw a familiar figure floating in the sky.
"Dr. Pym, I need your help..."
Peter's figure slowly descended from the sky, looking down at Dr. Pym through the window and slowly continuing,
"Help me shrink that 'star' in the sky!"
