American comic book: Scarlet Witch's Multiverse

"You can decide how much to pay."

Wanda said nonchalantly.

"Alright, three hundred million it is." Tony Stark made the final decision; to him, one hundred million and three hundred million made no difference.

It's just a little money.

His life isn't worth that little bit; three hundred million is neither too much nor too little.

"Here's my card number, remember to transfer it in."

At that moment, Wanda handed Tony Stark a card with her bank card number on it, which she had already memorized.

The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj all possess their own identities; they are not unregistered but have legitimate identities that are valid in the outside world.

It can be used to open bank accounts and as an identity for shops.

Wanda naturally has her own identity.

"Ethan, can you take this for me? It's hard for me to carry."

Tony Stark looked at the card number Wanda handed him, then at his Iron Man suit, and had no choice but to ask Ethan for help.

After Ethan took the card number from Wanda, he returned to Tony Stark's side.

"Now that we've rescued you, let's give you a final send-off. Consider it a generous gift from us."

Wanda looked at the two who had already put away the card number she had given her and said calmly.

Before Tony Stark and Ethan could even understand what Wanda meant, they witnessed a scene that shocked them.

Their eyes widened instantly.

Because a crimson circle appeared in front of them, and the scene inside the circle was the scene inside Tony Stark's house.

Upon seeing this, the two were completely shocked and bewildered, their eyes filled with confusion. What was this? A portal?

Is this still the world they know? Is this still the world of science?

Why is there even a portal?

"What...what is this?" Tony Stark pointed at the portal, looked at Wanda blankly, and asked.

Ethan, standing to the side, also looked at Wanda with a blank expression.

"It's a portal, isn't it obvious?"

Wanda said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I see, I... I mean, this... it..."

Tony Stark stared at the portal, pointing at it with a bewildered expression, completely at a loss for words.

This scene shattered his worldview; it turns out the world isn't based on science after all.

Is it more of a metaphysical concept?

"Alright, enough of that, let's go inside."

Wanda looked at Tony Stark, who was gesticulating wildly, and waved her hand speechlessly.

In an instant, an inexplicable force pushed the two of them into the teleportation portal.

"Remember to transfer the money to me."

Just as the portal was about to close, Wanda gave Tony Stark a reminder.

Although Wanda knew that Tony Stark would never go back on his word, it was inevitable that he would forget.

So I mentioned it in the end.

Inside Tony Stark's villa, the two returned and exchanged a blank look, then glanced at the now-vanished portal.

For a moment, the two of them were at a loss for words.

……

Seeing that Tony Stark and Ethan had already left, Wanda did not leave immediately, but instead opened her own panel.

Real Name: Wanda

Chaos Magic L.2 (To be broken through)

Looking at her attribute panel, Wanda wasn't surprised; she had already guessed it.

Making only this small change will most likely not be enough to achieve a breakthrough.

"I don't know if we have to change a major plot all at once, or if we can accumulate plot changes and use that to achieve a breakthrough."

Wanda looked at the panel, wondering what was going on in her mind.

"Perhaps both?!"

"Forget it, we'll see when the time comes. We can just try different things out, and the results will come naturally during the experiment."

After figuring it out, Wanda opened a portal and left to come here.

He returned to his room.

Wanda returned, sat back on the sofa, and picked up her laptop.

Upon opening it, she unsurprisingly saw news about Tony Stark.

That was news about Tony Stark's sudden return and the press conference he held after his return.

Wanda was not surprised to see this, when suddenly a computer notification sounded.

Wanda looked over and saw a transfer record; it was the reward Tony Stark had promised: three hundred million US dollars.

Upon seeing this, Wanda smiled, a happy smile.

Three hundred million US dollars! This is the first time she has ever had so much money. She has never seen so much money in her past life and this life combined.

This is the first time I've had so much money.

Wanda then opened Stark Industries' stock price page, glanced at it, and then closed it.

Because the stock price is almost back to its peak of $150. Now, thanks to Tony Stark's return, the stock price, which had fallen to $45, is almost back to $150. The current price is $123, and it's still rising.

Seeing this, Wanda sighed. "Tony Stark is truly something else."

It can only be said that Tony Stark's influence on Stark Industries is too profound. Stark Industries is entirely supported by Tony Stark alone. Without Tony Stark, Stark Industries is just an empty shell, and its core has long been gone.

Because all of Stark Industries' weapons were developed by Tony Stark, without him, the company would die.

Or rather, it wouldn't necessarily lead to death, but it would be no different from death; you might just fall down and no one would care, or you might even be swallowed up by someone else.

"Forget it, let's wait and see. Let's wait until Tony Stark announces the closure of the weapons division."

Wanda turned off the news and started browsing other things, like watching anime, to kill time.

When Tony Stark announces the closure of the weapons division, that will be when Stark Industries truly falls to the brink of collapse.

The stock price would definitely plummet to below $45 at that time. After all, Stark Industries is a military-industrial company, and 90% of its revenue comes from selling weapons. If Tony Stark announces the closure of the weapons division, the stock price will fall even more sharply than it did after his disappearance.

For a military-industrial enterprise to close its weapons-selling department is seen by others as suicidal.

If a company is about to commit suicide, when will you run if not now? The stock price will definitely be extremely low then.

That will be the time for her to make her move.

As time goes by.

The internet is in an uproar; Tony Stark's declaration has sparked intense debate and panic.

Of course, the people who panicked were those who held Stark Industries shares.

This shareholding structure is different from what people generally think of, where someone holds a percentage or tens of percent of the company's shares. Instead, the entire listed company is divided into hundreds of millions or even billions of shares.

Before Tony Stark disappeared, his stock price was $150 per share, but that may not be the case now.
