He lifted his head, glanced at Alvin, and spoke weakly: “One good news, one bad news. Which do you want to hear first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“JARVIS, please bring me an iced Americano. Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin stretched, got out of bed, and said to Tony beside him: “If you don’t mind, let’s eat while we talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is my house!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Alvin act as if he owned the place, Tony grew furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I almost forgot.” Alvin turned and called toward the room: “JARVIS, bring Mr. Stark an iced Americano—he looks like he desperately needs a pick-me-up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You damn parasite, I’ll kick you out someday!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony cursed angrily, but his body obeyed, following Alvin into the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me the bad news first—that way, whatever’s left will be good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin sipped his iced Americano and felt instantly more alert: “Judging by your appearance, you didn’t sleep all night, did you? You were stuck in the lab?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think? You kept me awake all night!” Tony’s expression was full of wounded resentment, like a deserted little wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Stark, please mind your wording,” Alvin cleared his throat and corrected: “I have no interest in men—not even if they’re gorgeous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony suddenly realized—for the first time in his life—he’d been left speechless by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“OK, fine, let’s start with the good news.” His temple twitched as he tossed a gun onto the table: “The gun’s principle isn’t hard—it’s the insane recoil that’s the problem. Even I can’t reduce the recoil without sacrificing power. But manufacturing the bullets? Easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t I say I wanted the bad news first?” Alvin was speechless. How old was he? Still holding grudges?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll say what I want. You got a problem with that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony glared at him, then felt a sudden surge of satisfaction as he continued: “As for the deflection field defense system and the spiral plasma gun, I can’t yet reverse-engineer their principles—they’re too exquisitely precise to dismantle and reconstruct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s fine. I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin wasn’t surprised. The technology behind these two devices was too advanced to decode in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me finish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony interrupted, continuing: “Though the tech is advanced, the methods are crude. Give me another half-month—I’ll build a far better replacement!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can integrate these two technologies into my Mark armor...” He clenched his fists, eyes blazing with fervor: “We might create an armor unlike anything ever seen—yes, this is exactly what I want. It’s a genius-level concept!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I believe you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin wholeheartedly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“????”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony, used to Alvin’s mockery, was momentarily stunned: “Huh? You... wait, aren’t you supposed to mock me? You just... believe I can build it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. You’re Tony Stark.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin spoke with quiet depth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark—the Marvel universe’s designated genius of black tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give him enough time, and even creating a Titan wouldn’t surprise Alvin—not even for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the movie universe, didn’t Tony replicate the Dwarves’ legendary Infinity Gauntlet in minutes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the comic universe, he’d even built armor to counter the Phoenix, Thor, and the Planet Eater—his inventions had no limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For now, I’m focusing all my energy on the Mark armor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony clearly wasn’t used to Alvin’s praise—he snorted: “If you’ve got nothing to do, go outside. Don’t hang around bothering me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, I need to remind you of something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Tony’s clearly prickly demeanor, Alvin chuckled and called out to the retreating man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony nearly stumbled mid-step, snapping: “What now? Can’t you just say it all at once?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whenever you’re out, remember to wear the deflection field defense system,” Alvin sipped his iced Americano, a cryptic smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony’s expression froze. His pupils shrank slightly. He spoke stiffly: “What... do you mean by that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin leaned back in his chair, his smile deepening: “You haven’t forgotten what happened in Afghanistan—when you nearly got killed, have you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I could never forget!” Tony’s temple throbbed, his pupils trembling slightly: “But I’m asking you—why do you want me to wear the deflection field defense system?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just feel this isn’t as simple as it seems.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin shrugged, feigning innocence: “After all, you and the Department of Defense were testing weapons in secret—how did Middle Eastern terrorists find out? And why did they use the Jericho missile to attack you? Doesn’t that strike you as odd?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony lowered his eyelids, silent for a long while, then replied in a hoarse voice: “I know how to handle this. I don’t need you worrying about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just concerned about our deal, Mr. Stark,” Alvin smiled, pointing at the explosive gun on the table: “After all, I’m counting on your research.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burdened with thoughts, Tony ultimately said nothing. He turned and left in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Valthius, on behalf of Mr. Stark, thank you for your concern,” JARVIS spoke slowly, expressing its gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t thank me, JARVIS.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin set down his iced Americano and smiled faintly: “I’m a merchant with a simple goal—I give to receive greater returns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it normal for a merchant to chase profit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was willing to hand over the life-saving artifact—the deflection field defense system—he clearly expected a far greater return!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was Tony Stark’s most valuable asset?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course—his brilliant mind. If Alvin could build a friendship, he’d gain endless access to weapons he could replicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of explosive sparks would arise when Warhammer technology collided with Marvel’s genius intellect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvin eagerly awaited the moment the Iron Man armor, fused with Warhammer tech, would be born—and what kind of shockwaves it would bring to both worlds...\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-20T00:45:41.385Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","07616ef267b1e967ca1f43296c962fe770f8e382229bf42ab6236121305a3e8c","starting-from-warhammer-to-raid-the-all-heavens-chapter-43","starting-from-warhammer-to-raid-the-all-heavens-chapter-41",588,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-warhammer-to-raid-the-all-heavens-cover.jpg"]
