Robett's mind flickered through various figures, and after the appearance of Kakarot was deemed unusable, it meant that the Sun family wasn't quite suitable either, as they all looked pretty much the same except for their hairstyles.
Yet, Robett didn't really want to transform into Vegeta, especially since Robett is currently a minor standing at 1.61 meters, and Vegeta is only 1.64 meters tall as an adult. These three centimeters are practically negligible...
"Hmm, wait, I can make Vegeta's armor look a bit taller, right? After all, no one really knows how tall Vegeta is anyway, maybe Vegeta would even thank me once he finds out..." However, Robett quickly realized he was overthinking and swiftly came up with a solution.
At this point, Robett had donned the new, taller version of Vegeta's armor, and all across America and even globally, a vigorous search for Kakarot's vest was underway. After all, ten million US dollars is a significant amount of money anywhere. For the average person, it's a life-changing opportunity to make a fortune, and for the wealthy, it's a chance to meet Tony Stark, the richest man...
But unfortunately, since Robett no longer transformed into Kakarot, this world no longer had Kakarot, and no matter how hard the searchers tried, their efforts were fruitless.
Of course, that didn't stop some from attempting to deceive Tony Stark with a fabricated story, but under the scrutiny of a top-level AI like Jarvis, all lies were exposed.
And with the influence and resources of Stark Industries, teaching these daring deceivers a lesson was effortlessly achieved...
However, Tony Stark, who was fully focused on upgrading his mech and finding Robett, was unaware that a venomous snake was always lurking in the dark, watching him, yet never finding another opportunity to strike.
This venomous snake, named Obadiah Stane, was Tony Stark's mentor and the patriarch of Stark Industries. He was determined to replace Tony Stark as the sole leader of Stark Industries and was behind Tony Stark's previous kidnapping...
Unfortunately for Stane, Tony Stark returned alive, bringing Jansen back as his assistant.
Upon his return, Tony Stark didn't shut down the weapons division of Stark Industries, knowing he needed its influence to achieve more. However, he had Jansen strictly control the weapons division to prevent the arms from being sold elsewhere...
Had Stane not acted quickly to erase the evidence, he would have already been exposed to Tony Stark.
Nevertheless, Stane carefully concealed his intentions, as he had set his sights on Tony Stark's mech, believing it to be a revolutionary product that he must control.
Robett was unaware of the developments on Tony Stark's side, but Clark, during his observations, uncovered a bit. Clearly, Clark had no good impression of Tony Stark's previous exposure of Robett's actions and thus had no intention of getting involved.
Jackie Chan also contacted Robett once after Tony Stark revealed Robett's identity, not because of the charm but because they saw the news and specifically reminded Robett to be careful and keep their mouths shut. During this time, Robett was quite busy, not only attending school and cultivating daily but also frequently traveling between his home and the wild island. Kara had been following Robett to the island, but her interest gradually waned.
Initially, Kara was quite interested in King Kong, but after discovering Kong's simplicity, she lost interest and simply practiced and fought with Robett as usual, then happily ate the food Robett prepared for her...
As for Robett, he was diligently studying the similarities and differences between King Kong and his giant ape form, finding some clues to mastering the power of the giant ape! Moreover, during this period, Robett's standard strength also steadily improved, as having Kara and King Kong alternately spar with him proved beneficial...
After more than a month, Robett received new information from Jackie Chan about a deity known as the Ocean Healing Goddess appearing by the sea, helping patients heal their pains and disabilities. With her, no one remains unhealed! The Horse Talisman possesses healing powers, granting its holder the ability to cure all diseases and remove all effects caused by external forces. However, unlike previous talisman owners whose identities and locations were known, this time Jackie Chan's intelligence didn't know who the talisman's owner was or even where it would appear, only that it was near a certain maritime area in the Atlantic Ocean.
"So, are you coming with me?" Robett asked Kara in a rare invitation.
Considering the talisman's specific location was unknown, making it potentially hard to find and possibly time-consuming, bringing Kara along could provide company during idle times, since Robett obviously couldn't take King Kong, right?
Unaware of Robett's thoughts, Kara would have definitely had a major confrontation with Robett otherwise. "I'm not going. I'm going to rest for a few days, and besides, I can't transform, so you can just come back early..." Kara was delighted upon hearing Robett's invitation, thinking Robett had finally come around, but she quickly shook her head modestly and declined Robett's offer for the reason Clark gave last time.
Due to the recent intensive training, Kara was indeed tired. She had never worked as hard as this since birth. If not for Robett, she couldn't have persisted, so she wanted to use Robett's adventure time to relax and ease her body and mind...
"Alright!" Seeing Kara unwilling to accompany him, Robett shrugged. Kara's inability to transform was indeed a problem. Situations like Tony Stark's wouldn't be isolated cases; it's best to hide one's identity whenever possible.
Soon, Robett set off again, unaware that this time, more people were eyeing the talisman, or rather, the talisman's owner, than he thought. In S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, who had finally caught up with the version, also received the message about the Ocean Healing Goddess. He remained silent for a long time, not informing S.H.I.E.L.D.'s subordinates, but made a phone call: "Lend me one of yours and help me complete a task..."
In Tony Stark's villa, the voice of the artificial intelligence Jarvis carried a hint of concern: "Sir, I've found a message that could help your situation, but it will slightly break your perception..."
