The Null Zone… the headquarters of the Time Variance Authority.
The woman who had mysteriously appeared behind Qin Xiao was standing in a room resembling a courtroom.
In front of her, seated on a bench similar to that of a judge, was a young woman with blonde hair, wearing a uniform.
"I don't understand. Why did you stop me from arresting the criminal? That person violated the Sacred Timeline, and he's not just a time criminal; his appearance even affects the Sacred Timeline itself."
The woman in black accused the blonde woman seated above.
"C18, I fully understand your determination to defend the Sacred Timeline, but the Time Keepers are personally watching this incident. It was the Time Keepers' decision to stop you from arresting that person."
The blonde woman spoke calmly, her expression neutral.
"But this will cause chaos. The Sacred Timeline cannot be desecrated!"
The woman in black was still a bit indignant. She was born to protect this, just as their name implied, the 'Sacred' timeline.
"Are you questioning the Time Keepers' decision?"
The blonde woman's voice suddenly rose.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Mentioning the Time Keepers, the woman in black immediately suppressed her anger and bowed slightly.
"Good!"
The blonde woman nodded with satisfaction.
"The Time Keepers are omniscient and omnipotent. All I need to do is carry out their will. Go!"
After the woman in black left, the lights in the entire courtroom flickered and went out.
In the darkness, a sigh could be heard...
(For readers unfamiliar with the Time Variance Authority, you can check out the new Marvel series, Loki. Personally, I think it's even more exciting than WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.) ...
Qin Xiao was completely unaware of the Time Variance Authority's actions.
After several days of leisure, he came to Tony's house again.
This time, he came primarily for Jarvis. He still had two thousand system points remaining in the system's point shop.
Up to now, he had obtained a total of three thousand points, still some distance away from the opening of the second-level shop.
But he didn't have anything to exchange for at the moment, with only a real-world currency exchange option left.
But it was useless in this world; the only benefit was that he wouldn't have to worry about money in the real world anymore.
But if he wanted to live freely, money alone wouldn't cut it. He needed to build a business empire.
A business empire that mastered high-end technology.
So, the question was, who was the best at high-end technology?
With Black Panther unavailable, Tony was the king!
Thus, Qin Xiao shamelessly went to Tony's lab.
"Boom!"
As soon as he walked down to the basement, he saw Tony spinning and flying up into the air.
He flipped over and slammed hard into a protruding wall in mid-air.
Then, like a poster, the person slid down the wall upside down.
Qin Xiao rushed forward and grabbed Tony's ankle, preventing him from hitting his head.
"You should find a private acrobatics teacher, Tony. I saved you again. You'd better keep a little notebook!"
"Damn it! I should have started the experiment at ten percent. Put me down!"
Two minutes later, Tony, with an ice pack on his neck, said to Qin Xiao in surprise.
"What do you want an AI butler for? With all due respect, your apartment isn't as big as my garage, and it seems to be rented."
"I've taken a liking to an apartment in downtown Los Angeles and I'm planning to buy it and renovate it. I want to make all the appliances and such completely automatic, a smart home feel. It doesn't need to be as advanced as Jarvis, you know what I mean?"
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes and said. Tony's words weren't too hurtful, but they were extremely insulting.
But you couldn't argue with him. Trying to compete with his wealth was like using your entire fortune to challenge his pocket money.
"Then go ahead and buy the house first, and then give me the blueprints. You don't have to worry about anything else. I'll help you set up a private server and install a smart program for you."
"I'll have Pepper take people from the company over to renovate according to my blueprints, but you buy the furniture yourself!"
"Tony! I love you! Don't worry, I'll give you the money!"
Qin Xiao put his arm around Tony's shoulders, grinning like a fool.
Tony gave Qin Xiao an arrogant look, waving his arm away.
He said with disdain, "Keep your pitiful wealth, you poor guy. Anything I pull out of my garage is worth more than your house!"
"Alright, I know you're rich. You're Tony Stark. Since that's the case, solve the furniture for me too, will you? I think I'm still missing a car. I see some in your garage..."
"Get out! Jarvis, revoke this guy's permissions. I don't want to see him again."
The two of them were joking around.
A news report on the television, which had been playing, caught Tony's attention.
"Yesterday, a town called Komira experienced a bloodbath at the hands of terrorists. These terrorists call themselves the Ten Rings..."
Accompanying the voice of the on-site reporter, the television screen displayed the ruins of the town.
There were many civilian corpses lying on the roadside, including women and children.
In some of the footage of the terrorists, the Stark markings on their weapons were particularly prominent and glaring.
Especially a bald man who appeared to be the leader, standing in a pile of rubble and directing the terrorists' atrocities.
"It's him?"
"This guy is still alive?"
Tony and Qin Xiao spoke almost simultaneously.
They had both seen the bald man walk to the mouth of the cave with their own eyes, and Tony had even pressed the detonator himself.
Unexpectedly, this bald man had such good luck and hadn't died.
"Damn it! Yinsen!"
Tony suddenly stood up and let out a strange cry.
"I just felt like I'd heard about this town somewhere, it's Yinsen's hometown. For God's sake, Jarvis, contact Rhodes!"
"Tony, the intelligence agencies would get here faster on something like this!"
Qin Xiao knew what Tony wanted to do. After the last incident, Tony had wanted to provide Yinsen with a job in the United States.
But Yinsen had insisted on returning to his homeland to treat the people there.
Tony had also promised to build them a large hospital later.
He hadn't expected terrorists to come knocking.
He still dialed Black Widow's number. Yinsen had interacted with everyone, even if he hadn't been in a cave with Tony day and night.
But they were still comrades who had gone through the hail of bullets together.
So, Black Widow's efficiency was quite high. She found the results in less than twenty minutes after hanging up the phone.
"Tony! I'm so sorry! Yinsen is gone!"
"The survivors in the town said they caught Yinsen and burned him alive in the house."
Qin Xiao hung up the phone and said dejectedly.
"What about his family?"
Tony stared intently at the bald man on the television.
"They were all in that house. None of them got away!"
