Chapter 2677

Since it was a mid-way snatch, he had to act quickly. Howard and Maria took Stark and hurried to the orphanage, almost unable to wait to see this genius teenager.

Stark also wanted to see Schiller when he was a child, so he didn't stay in the office to exchange pleasantries with the staff with Howard, but ran out early. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he bumped into a little boy with a somewhat familiar face.

"Schiller!" Stark called out his name instinctively. The other party stopped. The moment he turned back, Stark saw a look of confusion on his face.

Stark thought that maybe the young Schiller was wondering how he knew his big name, so he explained, "I've known about you for a long time. The software system you made is very powerful, but it's still a bit lacking."

The other party's confused expression became even heavier.

Stark walked forward two steps, crossed his arms, and said, "My parents said they want to adopt you. Do you want to go see them with me?"

Stark thought he hadn't shown any aggressive posture, and what he said was just ordinary pleasantries. Who knew that the little boy in front of him would turn and run, and run very fast.

Seeing this, Stark immediately went to chase. Who knew that Schiller in his childhood ran very fast, almost instantly drilling into the bushes, disappearing from sight.

Stark immediately realized that he had caused trouble, but soon the staff of the orphanage chased out and found that Schiller was missing. Everyone was a bit panicked.

"I didn't say anything to him. I just wanted to be friends with him. I don't know why he ran away," Stark said. "I really didn't say anything."

Stark was wronged to death. He knew that as the last person to see Schiller, he would definitely be thought to have said something that made Schiller angry and run away, but he really didn't say anything.

Wait a minute, could it be that sentence "You did well, but it's still a bit lacking"?

Stark patted his head with some annoyance. He had forgotten that now he and Schiller were both children. He wasn't a real child, but Schiller was a real child. Suddenly someone rushed out and said "My parents want to adopt you, but you didn't do as well as me." How would a child think?

Plus, the Starks themselves were snatching it mid-way. People had already agreed with the Hamiltons, but suddenly they were to be adopted by another pair of strange parents. They should have been very scared already. If he jumped out and said that, of course there would be problems.

The Starks obviously thought so too. A little guilt appeared on Maria's face. She tugged at Howard's sleeve and said, "Otherwise, let's forget it. This is not good for the child, and it's not good for Tony and Schiller."

Howard was also a bit tangled. Stark patted the table and said, "Are you planning to give up like this? This won't do!"

Of course it wouldn't do. What if Schiller was finally adopted by the Hamiltons? Wouldn't he still have to experience the family murder case in the end?

And Stark knew that his parents died relatively late, at least for another ten years. But the Hamiltons shouldn't have much time left. How would Schiller's life be if he lost his parents at such a young age?

And in the Stark family, after the Starks died, at least there were him and Obadiah. What was in the Hamilton family? Schiller originally had autism. If he was stimulated like this, wouldn't he be even more hopeless?

Stark was anxious, but he couldn't find a reasonable reason to demand that Howard and Maria must adopt Schiller. Finally, Howard gave up.

But Maria proposed, "This child has great talent. It would be a waste if he kept receiving education in the orphanage. Otherwise, let's do this: we will fund the Hamiltons a sum of money, and let them join the software R&D project team of Stark Industries. This way, they can provide little Schiller with better educational resources."

Howard nodded, feeling that this was also a way. After all, they were both getting busier and busier now. Bringing another child back might not be well taken care of, and it might make Tony feel biased. It was better to fund directly. After all, with money, what good teachers couldn't be hired?

Stark gritted his teeth, but there was no way. Who let him just be a child now? And their family's lifestyle was relatively traditional. Children had no right to speak, and he was young now. Even if he made a scene, it would be useless.

Soon the deputy director of the orphanage came to apologize. She said that if the child was too resistant, it was definitely impossible to adopt. No matter how good the family situation was and how strong the willingness was, it wouldn't work. This was to protect the child.

The staff had already found Schiller, but he expressed that he didn't want to be adopted by the Stark family. The deputy director hinted that it might be because they were too anxious and scared the child. If they contacted more in the future, there might be a chance.

But Howard and Maria had already made up their minds. Instead, they contacted the Hamiltons, saying that they would always fund their adopted son until he became an adult, and would also provide them with a stable job.

The Hamiltons had just finished their work at Hydra and hadn't found a next home, so they naturally agreed happily. Schiller was taken home by them.

But Stark still didn't intend to give up. He felt that as long as he was prepared, at least he could extend the lives of the Hamiltons, let them not die so early, at least live until Schiller became an adult. Otherwise, what about the inheritance?

But as the saying goes, poor people must have hateful places. The Hamiltons were not bad people, just not very good at worldly affairs. They only had their great dream of developing artificial intelligence in their hearts and couldn't distinguish between good and bad people at all.

Stark Industries couldn't invest too much in this kind of overly advanced project for the sake of profit. They felt that Howard couldn't tolerate them. Their work in the project team was also fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, which made Obadiah very dissatisfied.

Hydra was willing to provide them with help, letting them conduct research under Zola's monitoring. They felt that Hydra was a good helper for them to complete their dreams, and they were entangled with Hydra in private. The last scientist Stark saw who was so self-destructive was Reed Richards.

Stark reminded them several times through Obadiah and Howard, but it was useless. Then he found that his right to speak was really too small. Although he had already shown super talent, he hadn't made any contribution to the family business. Not many people listened to what he said. Most people still just regarded him as a child.

Stark had no choice. He first spent a year reading the books, got his degree about two years in advance, and then started burying his head in developing various machines, looking like a mainstay of the R&D department of Stark Industries.

After making some contributions, he finally had some right to speak. He allocated a large amount of funds to the Hamiltons, letting them research. No matter whether they could research anything or not, he first pressed them in the laboratory and stopped running out to hook up with Hydra every day.

Schiller of course also found the change in things. He really had a big head. What did this Stark run back for?

Actually, the script Schiller wrote before was successfully realized, which meant that he was successfully adopted by the Hamiltons. The Hamiltons were killed by Hydra as recorded in the time line. He possessed a smooth background story.

Influenced by the butterfly effect on the time line, Natasha in the future was no longer blank when investigating Schiller's childhood, but investigated this story. Logically speaking, things ended here.

But it just happened that at the time point when Natasha investigated this childhood background story, this matter was known by Stark.

Or rather, the background story Schiller made up was a bit too miserable, causing Natasha, who was responsible for the investigation, to be unable to watch it, feeling dissatisfied, and indirectly guiding Stark, letting Stark find a way to return to the past, so that the Starks could adopt Schiller.

In this way, the future would not be changed, because whether it was the Hamiltons or the Starks, they were all going to die in the hands of Hydra. Then Schiller's hatred for Hydra would not change, and his actions against Hydra in the future would not change either.

But a benefit of being adopted by the Starks was that Schiller could live more easily. First of all, the Starks were richer. If he was a legally registered adopted son, he could also inherit the inheritance, and there would be no problems in material life.

Secondly, Tony Stark was a person who protected his shortcomings very much. If they became a family, at least during the time when the Starks died, the two of them could accompany each other, not letting Schiller's condition worsen, and his spiritual life could also be more stable.

Finally, of course, Howard and Maria were resurrected in the end, and the one who resurrected them was Schiller. Resurrecting his adoptive parents as an adopted son was naturally more reasonable than resurrecting his friend's parents, and it could be considered as rounding off this story.

But Schiller couldn't do this, because if the story was like this, he would have to spend more time rounding off why the two of them didn't know each other when he first saw Stark.

And why the adopted son of the Stark family had to leave the family business to work at the New York Presbyterian Hospital, and finally was hired back, becoming Stark's psychologist.

Although he could also make up a story about brothers who turned against each other because of different means of revenge for their parents and finally reunited by chance, but Schiller really didn't have the strength to act out this kind of story that needed four or five seasons to explain in a TV series. How much is the salary? So desperate???

In order not to round off the fact that he and Stark didn't know each other when they first met, Schiller avoided meeting Stark as much as possible. This could also be explained as the difference in appearance between childhood and adulthood, and he couldn't recognize him after seeing him only once.

But Stark was relentless and never gave up, just wanting to find a way to get Schiller into the Stark family.

It could only be said that the friends of the stubborn were only the stubborn and the very stubborn. One wanted to make up a concise version of the background story for himself, one wanted to save the other from deep water and hot fire, one didn't want to contact, one had to contact. The two were stubborn for more than a whole year.

And in this year or more, the two sides only cared about fighting with each other, but didn't realize that those Hydra members who contacted the Hamiltons had already noticed Howard Stark through Mr. Hamilton, who frequently entered and exited the Stark Industries base.
