He's Spider-Man in Marvel, but he insists I'm Superman.

Tony was fast; it didn't take him long to drive his sports car back to his villa in New York.

"Boss, please wait outside for a moment. I'll go in and check things out!"

As the sports car pulled up in front of the villa, Happy prepared to open the car door, get out, and be the first to enter the villa to check for any danger.

After all, he could hear the security guard's tone on the phone; he seemed to be trembling slightly.

Moreover, this whole thing seems very strange no matter how you look at it; it might even be a conspiracy against Tony Stark.

"No need, let's go straight in!"

Tony stopped Happy from getting out of the car, and then drove his sports car straight in after the villa gate opened.

The engines of sports cars roared between the villas.

laugh!

With a screech of brakes, Tony brought the car to a smooth stop in the yard.

Happy opened the passenger door first, quickly ran out, and prepared to open the door for Tony.

But they found that Tony had already opened the car door himself, quickly got out of the car, and walked directly towards the huge metal device that had appeared in the yard at some unknown time.

"The main frame is made of a specially made matte alloy, with a huge ring structure that interlocks in layers, and the inner wall of the ring is fully covered with a high-reflective mirror chrome plate."

"The smooth, mirror-like surface is dense and strong, capable of refracting and distorting all light sources, and is also a core protective material that can withstand enormous energy..."

With the help of the not-too-dim lighting in the courtyard, Tony was immediately drawn to the technologically advanced metal device.

As an absolute technological genius in the Marvel Universe, he knew with just a simple observation that this was definitely not an ordinary laser emitter.

It's more like a crucial core component of some kind of giant circular particle collider!

"Where did those two guys get this stuff from?"

Tony shifted his gaze from the metal contraption that had so captivated him, and looked with interest through the villa’s huge floor-to-ceiling windows at the two figures sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Without further hesitation, he strode into the villa.

His gaze swept over the two uninvited guests sitting on the sofa.

A tall man wearing a black bodysuit perfectly accentuated the contours of his muscles, making Tony somewhat envious.

The other, however, was dressed in a dark red battle suit and wore a mask, revealing only his beautifully shaped chin.

"Hey friend, are you playing Batman? I have to say, it's a really bad imitation."

Tony teased Matt as he casually sat on the sofa opposite them, crossed his legs, and looked nonchalant.

Then he turned his gaze to Peter, who had already taken off his mask, revealing a handsome face that still retained a hint of youthfulness, which surprised Tony.

"As for you, judging by your age, you're still in middle school, right? Why are you doing this kind of thing? Don't your guardians care about you?"

Clearly, Tony was now mistaking the two for thieves who specialized in stealing experimental equipment from high-tech laboratories and reselling it.

"Mr. Stark, don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation."

Peter spoke softly, his tone flat, as if the person sitting opposite him was not some famous billionaire, but an absolute member of the upper class in the United States.

"Heh, not very old, but quite bold."

Tony looked at Peter with a hint of amusement in his eyes. With his current status, not many people could talk to him so easily anymore.

"Happy, go get my treasured red wine..."

Perhaps it was Peter's calmness that made Tony realize they weren't ordinary thieves, so he also put away his playful attitude and gave orders to Happy, who was standing by, ready to fight.

"Boss, you..."

Happy didn't leave immediately; a hint of wariness flickered in his eyes as he looked at Peter and the other man.

"Go ahead and don't worry..." Tony understood Happy's concerns, but nodded with a smile.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he added to Happy, who had just turned around, "Make another cup of coffee. I almost forgot this kid isn't an adult yet; he can't drink alcohol!"

Happy turned and left, leaving only the three of them sitting facing each other in the living room.

"Now, let's talk about the deal you mentioned earlier!"

At that moment, the smile and playfulness on Tony's face vanished completely, replaced by an extremely serious expression.

……

Once back to business, Tony instantly displayed the powerful aura of a top entrepreneur.

"I'm not lying. The device you brought today contains some kind of special advanced technology that is very attractive to me."

"Moreover, the materials used in its manufacture are quite valuable; it appears to be an important component of some particle collider!"

"A particle collider? What is Kingpin planning to do with that?"

Matt fell into deep thought upon hearing Tony's analysis.

"Did Kingpin attempt to build a particle collider so early in this universe?"

Peter was equally surprised at this moment.

"If it were intact, its value would probably be worth far more than tens of billions of dollars..."

Tony, unaware of what the two were thinking, slowly uttered a number so enormous it was unimaginable.

"Take away the young master?"

Even Matt, a lawyer with extensive experience, was shocked and incredulous by this number.

"Don't be intimidated by this number. Of course, I wouldn't offer that much; after all, it's just one component of the complete device!"

"Alright, I won't waste any more time. A fixed price, how about this number?"

Tony stopped talking nonsense and held up two fingers as he spoke.

"Two million... or..."

Matt had thought this thing was valuable, but he never imagined it would be this valuable.

"Twenty million! No questions asked, no questions asked, just transfer the money!"

Tony spoke softly, showing absolutely no remorse for spending twenty million.

He felt it was well worth the 20 million to buy that special device for research!

"Twenty million won't do! I want fifty million!"

However, Peter was not intimidated by the alarming number. After slowly shaking his head, he uttered a number that surprised Matt even more.

"Fine, I won't pretend to be conflicted or hesitate for ages before finally agreeing to the deal, so you'll feel like you got a great deal."

As a top-tier entrepreneur, Tony certainly knew these basic business tactics. When the two companies negotiated a contract, they often had to go through several rounds of negotiation before finally settling on a solution that made both parties feel they got excellent value for their money.

However, he was too lazy to put on an act when facing Peter, a young man.

"Fifty million it is, but I have one condition: you have to personally help me load, unload, and transport it."

Tony didn't dwell too much on the small sum of tens of millions and immediately agreed to the price Peter proposed.

However, he put forward his own conditions at the opportune moment.

"Okay, no problem!" Peter nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Boss, here's your red wine!"

Just then, Happy walked over carrying a tray with a beautifully packaged bottle of red wine, two wine glasses, and a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

"Perfect timing!"

Tony took the red wine and the glass, poured a glass for Matt first, then poured red wine into his own glass, and handed the coffee to Peter.

He then raised his glass, beaming, and said to the two men, "May our cooperation be fruitful! Cheers!"

As Peter stared at Matt's mask that revealed his chin, a strange thought popped into his head: Was this guy's mask just a way to make it easier to drink something?
