Chapter 65: The True Genius of Marvel

Henry's refusal was already obvious enough, and Tony wasn't the kind of kid who didn't dare to go out without a nanny to take care of him.

Besides, this invitation was just something mentioned casually when the person was in front of him. It wasn't that the other party had to join for his plan to proceed. So he didn't mention this matter again.

This was not to mention that there was the shadow of that island behind this matter. If the matter was made public, it was hard to say who would be silenced again.

Tony perhaps didn't have a deep understanding of not hurting the innocent, but he certainly wouldn't be willing to become the object of being silenced. So things still had to be done secretly.

Moving his attention back to the banquet, originally wanting to shake off the unlucky star little assistant beside him, get rid of negative emotions, and find some fun for himself.

Tony Stark didn't look, but when he did, he frowned, and couldn't help but grumble: "How come I see this annoying guy everywhere."

Upon hearing the complaint, Henry became interested.

No matter how annoying ordinary people are, they will be ignored by this future Iron Man. But if someone can be liked or hated by Tony Stark, it is a great achievement.

So Henry was very curious about the 'annoying guy' in Tony's mouth. He asked: "Who are you talking about? It wouldn't be that talented person who had a mouth-cannon battle with you at Caltech last time."

Henry's words made Tony think for a while before he suddenly realized and said: "Justin is just a clown who doesn't know his own strength, no need to care. That guy is the real annoying ghost." As he said this, Tony's mouth pointed in a certain direction.

Looking in the direction Tony hinted at, Henry noticed a young man who looked old before his time.

He had a scholarly atmosphere that was not trimmed, a face full of stubble, and a head of relatively neat brown hair.

He looked decent, but the arrogant look that flashed from time to time in his polite expression made some people with sensitive nerves uncomfortable.

Henry asked curiously: "You know him?"

Tony didn't hide his disgust at all, saying: "When I went to Caltech for my PhD, he happened to be back at school to get a PhD. Met him once, and the process and result were not very pleasant."

"Who is he?"

"A fool who fancies himself a genius. Read a bunch of universities and PhDs, in my opinion, he's just a guy who goes everywhere to cheat for research funds, Reed Richards."

Hearing this name, Henry couldn't remember who this sacred person was for a while. But soon the character in his impression matched this person.

In the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), who is the smartest person?

Basically, there are two factions of supporters, one is on the side of Iron Man Tony Stark, and one is on the side of Wakanda's Princess Shuri. Some even compare Rocket Raccoon of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

But in the Marvel world, this question has an official certified answer. That is the leader of the Fantastic Four, Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards.

Although in terms of IQ, there are settings higher than him, namely the Inhuman Moon Girl and Mr. Fantastic's daughter Valeria. But the achievements and performance are far inferior to this genius who is keen on making trouble.

Looking at his experience, it is alternating between poking trouble and cleaning up the trouble he poked.

Even the Illuminati composed of the strongest brains in the Marvel world, that is just poking bigger trouble, and using more tragic means to clean up the trouble poked out, and then constantly repeating these two processes...

Fully embodying the Marvel core value that the greater the ability, the greater the destruction, and naturally the greater the responsibility.

If in the DC world, the plague god that needs to be kept away from is The Flash who likes to mess with the timeline. Then in the Marvel world, the one who needs to be kept away from is this Mr. Fantastic, Reed Richards in front of him.

It's really not that every superhero can be stuck to and hug their thighs. There are too many experiences of them selling teammates when they think someone is a threat.

Hulk cried and fell into the universe.

Looking at Tony Stark, Henry asked: "You said he cheated for funds, is there any evidence or rumors?"

Asking this, just because he wanted to know what kind of heaven-defying things this Reed Richards, who looked like he hadn't been mutated by cosmic rays yet, had done in this world, to be disliked by the future Iron Man to this extent.

It's definitely not because of curiosity, and the heart of gossip is burning. Only then did he ignore the taboo he set for himself and wanted to know what the future Mr. Fantastic had done.

For the matter of the annoying guy, Tony, of course, had no obligation to keep it secret for him. He even wanted to publicize it everywhere, saying it to everyone he met. It wasn't that he had the idea of making the other party's reputation stink, just because the young master couldn't swallow that breath, and had to spit it out.

Tony showed a rare angry expression and said: "Before he left school, according to the professor's recommendation, I went to the laboratory to visit this genius senior. There were indeed many interesting little gadgets in his laboratory.

"Like a butler robot, not the trash can plus wheels shape like R2-D2, but using tracks to move, with two robotic arms and observation lenses like eyes. It was a bit better than the intelligent robotic arm of my undergraduate thesis.

"There were also a series of finished and semi-finished products like magnetic levitation, micro-batteries, etc. I have to admit, there are many things I am also curious about how he did it. But the ideas for most things are still good, and can be used as a good reference.

"But when I asked him questions, that guy actually replied to me directly that I was too stupid to understand his explanation, so he didn't want to waste time saying these things.

"And he didn't want to let those so-called 'beyond' —"

Tony made a double-quote gesture, paired with a face of disgust,

"—too many existing technology results leak out, so he didn't allow me to take anything away, and of course they were all not for sale. If I'm interested, just look in his laboratory.

"Basically, it's like if you want to see monkeys, buy a ticket to the zoo to see them. Don't think about buying a monkey home, see if you want to raise it yourself, or dissect it.

"Of course, during the whole speaking process, he was doing his own things, and didn't look up at me once. Even if I wanted to communicate, I could only look at the back of his head and talk. So I left.

"Later I found out that this guy's attitude is always like this. He asked the school for research funds, but the result papers were always sealed for various confidentiality reasons. So almost every school gave him a degree and kicked him out.

"Schools that suffered losses were many, and no one was willing to continue giving him funds. He turned his attention to Wall Street, those stupid rich people who hoped to cross the industry to become technology big shots.

"Hope his legal knowledge or legal counsel is as powerful as his genius brain, otherwise he will sooner or later fall to the point of begging on the street. But even so, he is not worth sympathizing with."
