American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Noon the next day.

A C-5 transport plane landed at a military airport outside Los Angeles.

After the tail hatch opened, Roy, Tony, and Rod stepped off the C-5 transport plane.

Without any hesitation, Tony walked straight toward Pepper, who was dressed in a professional outfit, and Happy, who was dressed in a sharp suit.

Soon, he arrived in front of Little Chili.

"Your eyes are red. Are you missing your missing boss?"

Tony teased Pepper.

"I'm happy, happy that I don't have to look for a job anymore."

Little Chili replied.

Then, turning to Roy next to Tony, he said gratefully, "Thank you."

"If you take someone's money, you're obligated to solve their problems. No need to thank me."

Roy said calmly.

Before Pepper could say anything more, Tony's voice rang out, asking her, "Did you bring your checkbook?"

"have."

Pepper immediately took out a checkbook and a pen from her handbag and handed them to Tony.

Without any hesitation, Tony immediately took the checkbook and pen and began writing.

He quickly wrote a check for $3050 million, tore it off, and handed it to Roy.

Roy took the check from Tony, glanced at the amount, and smiled with satisfaction.

The moment he received the check, he saw system information that only he could see.

[The Commission: Rescue Tony Stark]

[Service Status: Completed]

[Commission Reward: Become the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast (Already Issued)]

As the system information appeared, a vast and boundless mass of chakra materialized within his body.

This chakra did not merge with his own chakra, but was instead sealed and implanted into his body.

The essence of a Jinchuriki is a human vessel that seals a Tailed Beast within its body.

The chakra of the One-Tailed Beast will not be fused with its own chakra.

Although he became the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, he is completely different from Gaara.

Because the rewards given by the system will never be for living beings with self-awareness.

In other words, he didn't need to understand the Tailed Beasts to become a perfect Jinchuriki capable of fully transforming into a Tailed Beast.

After storing the check in his system space, Roy said to Tony, "If you ever encounter any tricky situations in the future, you can come to Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan and ask me for help."

"No need for later, I have a request right now."

Tony said quickly.

"What request?"

Roy asked.

Tony immediately replied, "It's not convenient here, let's talk in the car."

After saying that, he walked toward the Rolls-Royce behind Chili and Happy.

"Tell me, what do you want to entrust to me?"

Roy closed the car door and asked directly.

"I want to hire you as my secret bodyguard to protect me and Pepper until I find out who sold Stark Industries weapons to terrorists."

Tony didn't keep him in suspense and looked at Roy with a serious expression.

"I'm a private investigator, not a bodyguard."

Roy replied.

Tony quickly replied, "Rescuing hostages from terrorists across half the globe is not a job that private investigators would take."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system completed the judgment and provided new delegation information.

[Commission: To serve as Tony Stark's secret bodyguard]

[Status: Incomplete]

[Commission Reward: Lightning Release: Chidori]

Roy closed the information panel and said to Tony, "3000 million."

"no problem."

Tony agreed without even thinking about it.

A price of 3000 million is indeed very expensive.

But for him, this price was perfectly acceptable.

After discussing some details about protection, Tony called Pepper and Happy into the car.

Happy was in charge of driving.

Little Chili sat in the passenger seat.

Happy asked, "Sir, where to?"

Before Tony could answer, Pepper said, "To the hospital."

"I'm not going."

Tony declined Pepper's offer.

"Tony, you need to go to the hospital for a checkup."

Pepper turned to Tony and said quickly.

Tony looked at Pepper with a serious expression: "I said I'm not going, don't force me to go to the hospital."

"I've been locked up for three months, and now I only want to do two things."

"First, eat a cheeseburger."

"second……"

Before Tony could finish speaking, Pepper teased him, "You're such a womanizer."

"No, that's not it. I'm going to hold a press conference."

Tony immediately corrected Pepper.

Hold a press conference?

Pepper looked at Tony, puzzled, and continued, "The press conference can be held later."

Tony ignored Pepper and said to Happy, "Drive, let's go buy some cheeseburgers."

……

Half an hour later.

Stark Industries Headquarters Building.

First floor lobby.

The camera flash was going off like crazy.

Surrounded by the crowd, Tony, carrying the cheeseburger he had just bought, walked toward the podium accompanied by Obadiah.

Upon arriving in the lobby, Roy spotted a familiar figure.

Chief of the Marvel Newbie Village!

Agent Level 8 of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

A model of American intelligence!

One of Nick Fury's (the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.) most trusted subordinates!

Phil Coulson!

Roy wasn't surprised at all that Coulson was here.

But it was clear that Coulson had no idea he would be there.

However, the moment Coulson saw him, a guess flashed through his mind.

Coulson wasted no time and quickly went to Roy and Pepper.

"Mr. Roy, it's been a long time."

Coulson said to Roy.

"It hasn't been that long, only a few months."

Roy replied.

Coulson turned to Pepper Potts and continued, "Hello, Ms. Potts, I'm Agent Phil Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. May I have a word with you?"

Pepper frowned slightly, looking at Coulson with confusion: "S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Tony had never even heard of S.H.I.E.L.D., so of course she couldn't possibly know about it.

Coulson handed Pepper his business card and replied, "We're from the special department."

Taking the business card, Chili Pepper slowly said, "The Department of Defense, the FBI, the CIA, and the military have all contacted us."

"We're different; our roles are more focused. We want to know the details of Mr. Stark's escape."

After saying that, Coulson's gaze fell on Roy.

"No need to guess, I'm the one who rescued him."

"I accepted Miss Potts' request and made a special trip to Afghanistan."

"I won't go into the specific details, just knowing that I saved you should be enough for you to submit your report."

Roy said slowly and deliberately.

Before Coulson could ask anything else, Colonel Rhodes approached Pepper Potts and asked, "What message does Tony want to release?"

"I don't know what he's up to either?"

Little Chili quickly replied.

At the same time, Tony, who was sitting in front of the podium, spoke up.

"I didn't make it to see my father one last time."

"If I catch up, I want to ask him what his opinion is on arms production."

"Has he ever been conflicted, has he ever wavered, or is he, as the media reports, a true tough guy?"

"I witnessed young soldiers being killed with my own eyes, by the very weapons I had intended to use to protect them."

"I also discovered that I've become part of an irresponsible world..."

At this point, Tony stood up, walked to the microphone on the podium, and said with utmost seriousness, "I've come to my senses. I've realized that besides manufacturing weapons, I can contribute much more to the world."

"Therefore, effective immediately, I have decided to shut down Stark Industries' weapons division until I find a new target for the company!"

Whether it was Pepper Potts, Obadiah and Rhodes, or the reporters in the lobby, they all wore expressions of disbelief.

The only one who wasn't surprised was Roy.

As reporters bombarded Tony with questions, he took out his phone from his system space and sent a message to his stockbroker.

Before heading to Afghanistan to rescue Tony, he contacted his broker to short Stark Industries stock.

Although he wasn't short of money, he didn't mind using the "insider information" that time travelers possessed to make a fortune.
