Chapter 40: Tony Is Sour

Adam’s questions hit Tony Stark like a hammer. For someone known for his sharp tongue, Tony suddenly found himself at a loss for words. As a genius, he naturally didn’t believe these people were investigating his home out of friendliness. Even the blueprints of his luxurious seaside villa had been carefully studied. He wasn’t naive enough to assume they had good intentions.

Still, he felt the need to argue. “Maybe they really came here to be friends.”

Chapter 39: Joint Action

Tony Stark was a narcissist, arrogant, and a playboy. He had plenty of shortcomings, but beneath the surface, he was sensitive, emotional, and—above all—kind. After listening to Adam introduce the events surrounding AIM and Killian, Tony couldn’t help but agree with Adam’s plan to strike back.

Of course, he wouldn’t let it show.

“Even so, this kind of matter should actually be left to the police. I’m just an ordinary rich man,” Tony said, attem...

Chapter 38: Massacre

Although high-energy cutting lasers consumed significant energy, their power was undeniable. The reinforced steel hull of the tanker, built to military-grade specifications, was quickly breached as Adam’s armored units poured in one after another.

More than a thousand steel suits flooded the ship, systematically advancing through the corridors. However, Adam was already bracing himself for the worst. He was right. By the time the Iron Legion began securing compartments, ...

Chapter 37: Aim

On the deck of the massive oil tanker, white smoke filled the air. Adam stood silently, watching the scene unfold through the imaging system in his helmet.

He had severely underestimated Extremis. The virus not only allowed rapid regeneration but also produced heat levels that seemed to defy the laws of physics. Despite using hundreds of kilograms of liquid nitrogen to freeze Killian, it had taken longer than expected to suppress him.

Even the Hulk might have ...

Chapter 36: Counterattack

Adam had always been a cautious person.

Even with Killian and his Extremis-enhanced men lying half-dead, Adam refused to lower his guard. Instead, he ordered several specialized armors to lock them down.

The armors, resembling massive steel restraints, pinned Killian and his men to the deck of the tanker. Their bodies were secured to the reinforced steel plates, leaving only their heads exposed.

Once the prisoners were secured, Adam stepped back and wait...

Chapter 35: Instant Kill

Killian’s plan wasn’t entirely wrong.

In the hands of a professional sniper, a high-powered rifle could hit a target over two thousand meters away.

But the man floating above him wasn’t just any target.

Adam Wayne’s steel armor moved at blistering speeds, darting through the sky like a streak of light. The snipers on the tanker couldn’t keep up, their bullets missing wildly.

“Adam Wayne!” Killian shouted, his voice echoi...

Chapter 34: Can’t Hit

High above the open sea—nearly ten thousand meters in the air—Adam Wayne hovered silently, staring down at the tanker below through the imaging system in his helmet.

From this altitude, the massive ship looked no larger than a toy drifting in the water.

“Skynet, are the steel armor units in position?”

“All units are deployed and awaiting orders,” Skynet’s voice echoed in his ear.

“Clear the surrounding waters. Make sur...

Chapter 33: Chess Pieces

The production capacity of modern assembly lines is terrifying—especially under the control of artificial intelligence. With computational capabilities far beyond human limits, machines operate with near-perfect efficiency.

As long as raw materials are sufficient, downtime isn’t even a consideration.

By the second day, the underground factory Adam built had already assembled over two thousand steel armors. This was despite a shortage of some parts, which h...

Chapter 32: It Turns Out That It’s You Who Rushes Into The Street

Adam spent hours investigating inside Wayne Tower, but no solid leads surfaced.

Who the hell would bomb a building that held almost no strategic value?

Wayne Tower was more symbolic than functional. Aside from minor property damage, the attack didn’t achieve much.

The top executives of Wayne Group didn’t even work out of this location. They only showed up for shareholder meetings and always arrived by helicopter, bypassing the lower flo...

Chapter 31: Wayne Tower Was Bombed!

For the past few days, Adam had been holed up in his lab.

Bruce Wayne had been making endless demands about modifications to his suit.

Turning heavy armor into something sleek and lightweight, while still maintaining high-level defense, wasn’t an easy task. The process required extensive redesigns, reworking the internal systems, and even creating entirely new weapons to fit the adjusted framework.

It was a headache.

Even though Ada...

Chapter 30: The Inexplicable Enemy

In a sleek, modern laboratory somewhere in New York City, a blond-haired man stood by the window, gripping his phone tightly. His sharp features twisted with anger as he shouted into the receiver.

“What the hell did you just say?!”

His voice echoed through the room, sharp and filled with rage.

“Tony Stark escaped?!”

He slammed his hand against the table, the force causing nearby equipment to rattle.

“You incompetent fo...

Chapter 29: Tony Is Rescued

In the endless desert, two figures stood out against the vast, empty landscape.

One of them was Adam Wayne, clad in his sleek, black-and-white armor. The other was Tony Stark, battered and exhausted but alive after escaping the Ten Rings’ base.

After dealing with the terrorists, Adam didn’t feel like sticking around. He had immediately grabbed Tony and flown them both out to safety.

Now, as Tony gulped down water from the bottle Adam handed hi...

Chapter 28: A Hero Descends From Heaven

Inside the dark cave, gunshots echoed from outside.

Tony Stark remained inside, his heart pounding.

According to his plan, he was supposed to go first, fight the terrorists, and let Yinsen escape after him. But things didn’t go as planned.

The terrorists had given him a computer so outdated that it might as well have been a relic from the last century. Its slow processing speed turned what should have been minutes into hours, forcing Yinsen to buy time...

Chapter 27: Bargaining

The technology used in the steel armor was incredibly advanced. Adam had shared some details with Fox, and now the old man seemed completely hooked.

It took Adam a long time to finally get him out of the lab.

He even provided Fox with a lot of technical information just to shut him up and send him on his way.

As Fox left, Adam leaned back and sighed.

Oh well.

He could just think of it as training talent for Wayne Enterpri...

Chapter 26: Weapons Always Have Their Pros and Cons

The laboratory hummed softly as the plasma weapon hummed to life, glowing faintly as it charged. Adam stood confidently, watching Fox’s awestruck expression.

“Plasma weapons are powerful,” Adam began, his voice calm but filled with authority. “The temperature of high-energy plasma can rival the core of the sun. In some cases, it can even vaporize steel.”

Fox’s eyes widened. “Vaporize steel? That’s insane!”

“But,” Adam continu...

Chapter 25: War Machine

The laboratory hummed with energy as alarms blared, echoing against the walls. The arc reactor, pushed to full output, lit up the room with an intense glow. The readings on the monitors were staggering, far beyond anything conventional science could produce.

Fox stood frozen, his eyes locked on the screen displaying the data.

“This… this can’t be real,” he muttered, stepping closer to the reactor. “How could something this compact generate so much energy? A...

Chapter 24: Fox, Whose Worldview Has Collapsed

Fox thought Adam Wayne was a true genius. However, there was one flaw that made him both frustrated and amused—his obsession with money.

Despite Wayne Group essentially being Adam’s family business, the kid still insisted on treating every deal as a formal transaction. No discounts, no favors. Everything had to be calculated down to the last cent.

Fox couldn’t help but find this odd. He chalked it up to one of those eccentricities that geniuses often had...

Chapter 23: Building A Reactor

After creating a controllable miniature cold fusion reactor, Adam Wayne started the manufacturing process. But before moving on to miniature prototypes, he planned to build something bigger first.

Tony Stark had built a massive reactor right underneath Stark Tower, calling it the Arc Reactor. That reactor not only powered Stark Tower but could even provide energy to several surrounding city blocks. Adam naturally wanted something just as impressive, if not better, for hims...

Chapter 22: Complex Principles

Technology never develops in isolation. Its growth depends on the foundation of an entire scientific system. Yet, some advancements leap so far ahead that they become known as black technologies. Tony Stark’s steel armor is one such marvel, but at its core, the true black technology lies in its power source—the arc reactor.

The arc reactor operates on the principles of controllable miniature cold fusion, a concept rooted in nuclear fusion. But why is nuclear fusion so difficu...

Chapter 21: Controllable Miniature Cold Fusion

Adam Wayne had no idea what had happened to Tony Stark in the Arabic countries.

He only knew one thing—someone like Tony Stark, blessed with ridiculous luck, wouldn’t die so easily.

With nothing better to do and his father out on another crime-fighting mission, Adam returned to his lab.

After all, he had just gained the blueprint for the steel battle suit technology from Tony Stark.

The thought alone made him restless.

Chapter 20: Arabic Countries Are Really Dangerous

Adam Wayne woke up late the next day, rubbing his eyes as sunlight streamed through the curtains.

It was already past one in the afternoon.

He’d been up all night, too excited after his discussion with Tony Stark. The experiments he’d run afterward had drained him, but the results were worth it.

Before he could finish the sandwich Alfred had brought him, the old butler walked in, his expression serious.

“Master Adam, something�...

Chapter 19: Business Conflict

Adam Wayne looked at the system prompts and was filled with excitement.

Tony Stark was turning out to be his lucky star—first providing him with a new system function and now a new technology.

And it wasn’t just any technology; it was Tony’s own area of expertise.

What kind of person does that?

This was the spirit of generosity at its finest!

The way Adam looked at Tony Stark suddenly became a lot softer.

Chapter 18: Bionic Technology

Tony Stark leaned closer, narrowing his eyes at Adam Wayne.

“Hey, kid, are you even listening to me?”

Tony’s irritation was obvious. He had just started sharing his insights about artificial intelligence, but midway through, he noticed Adam had spaced out completely. For someone like Tony, who thrived on admiration, being ignored was a serious offense.

Adam glanced up at him, quickly masking his amusement.

“Oh, I’m sorry, Mr...

Chapter 17: New System Function

Adam Wayne looked at Tony Stark, whose confidence was practically oozing out of him. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Tony Stark is still too young.

If it were Adam, he would never leave himself without an escape route. Confidence is good, but overconfidence? That’s just asking for humiliation.

Then again, Tony Stark had every reason to be confident. As one of the most renowned geniuses in the Bald Eagle Empire, his ego had...

Chapter 16: Shocked Tony

Adam Wayne stared at Tony Stark with barely concealed disdain. The man before him, known as a genius to the world, now looked more like an overconfident playboy playing with toys. Adam resisted the urge to smack him across the face with a shoe.

“Alfred, let’s go,” Adam said deliberately, loud enough for Tony to hear. “This guy’s just a b*****d who’s let his hormones take over his brain.”

Tony’s ears perked up immediately.

“What d...

Chapter 15: Arrogant Tony

Adam Wayne’s life had been exceptionally comfortable these past two days. Gotham might have been a city of sin, but that only applied to the poor. For someone like Adam, born into the Wayne family, Gotham was nothing short of paradise.

If he wanted something, it would be delivered within hours. If he needed information, Skynet could retrieve it in seconds. It was the kind of privilege most people could only dream of, and Adam had no inte...

Chapter 14: More Money Is Needed

Adam Wayne stared at Fox with a look of disbelief, his eyes narrowing slightly as if he couldn’t comprehend what he had just heard. Across from him, Fox looked visibly uncomfortable, guilt creeping into his otherwise composed demeanor.

“Adam, although we’re all family here, Wayne Enterprises will definitely give you a satisfactory price,” Fox began, his voice lacking the usual confidence. “We’ve estimated the basic technical information alone could be worth ten...

Chapter 13: What Is It Like To Have a Genius Son?

Bruce Wayne sat in the Batmobile, the hum of the engine blending into the silence of Gotham’s early morning streets. The Batmobile sped through the empty roads, but Bruce’s mind wasn’t on driving. His thoughts kept circling back to the video he had watched.

There was no doubt about it—it was Adam’s handiwork.

The precision with which the drones moved, the seamless coordination, and the lightning-fast calculations—none of that ...

Chapter 12: Shocked Batman

While Adam Wayne battled wits and courage against Joker—ultimately killing Gotham’s most dangerous villain—Batman was far from idle. After learning that Joker had planted bombs in the laboratory, Bruce Wayne had no choice but to let Joker escape and focus on defusing the explosives.

Though Joker’s henchmen were nothing more than low-life scum who had left a trail of blood and crime behind them, Bruce’s moral code wouldn’t let him abandon them to die. In his eye...

Chapter 11: The Death of Joker

The eerie laughter echoed through the dark, narrow space, each burst of sound twisting through the tunnels like a knife.

Adam Wayne sat in his room, staring at the monitor, his fingers tense against the controls.

Why is he laughing?

Adam’s back felt clammy as he watched Joker, surrounded by nearly a hundred drones, yet still acting as if he were the one in control.

“Why are you laughing?” Adam finally asked, his...
