Chapter 140: Hiro
*Screch~*
An ear-piercing sound suddenly shook the hall.
Everyone turned to look at the stage where a young man around 13 or 14 years old was wincing while holding the microphone.
“Uhh, sorry about that.”
The young man looked towards Tadashi who gave him an encouraging look.
He cleared his throat once, then introduced himself.
“My na is Hiro Hamada. And I’ve been working on sothing that I think is…pretty cool. I hope you like it.”
Hiro took out a tallic headband and put it on his head.
After which, he took out a small black bead-like thing from his pocket.
“This…is a microbot.”
As he said that, the bead-like object whirred twice as it did a small ‘bow’ to the audience.
“...”
Silence.
Perhaps they felt it was underwhelming, so people standing around the stage left.
Hiro, still nervous, turned to his brother Tadashi.
Tadashi mouthed ‘breathe’ to him in an attempt to calm him down.
Hiro took a deep breath and continued.
“It doesn’t look like much, but when it links up with the rest of its pals…”
Hiro looked at the distance and suddenly, several trash bins fell down and wave after wave of microbots flowed out from them, surging towards the stage.
People naturally noticed this, and they all started walking towards the stage to see what was going on.
The microbots started to create a bridge up the stairs as they surrounded Hiro, creating structures born from his imagination.
While Hiro continued his presentation, Tony clicked his tongue in amazent.
“I’ve developed nanotech before so this much isn’t new but…the nanotech I made is too costly for normal consur use and I daresay, overkill. But this…although bigger than nanotech, is small enough to still achieve a similar effect.”
Tony laughed.
“Who knew the key to saving cost isn’t downsizing but upsizing?”
Benjamin rolled his eyes.
“Only you would skip the micro part and directly invent nanotech. Like that cold fusion reactor.”
“...Are we still not over that?”
Tony was speechless.
Soon, Hiro’s presentation ended and a middle-aged woman with brown hair standing beside Tadashi and his group started jumping in excitent.
She seed to have sohow found his way beside Benjamin and started grabbing his arm.
“Woo! That’s my nephew! My family! I love my family! Hahaha!”
Benjamin smiled wryly.
This must be Aunt Cass then.
[And so our mc has targeted another hot aunt for his harem.]
Shut it system!
Cass seed to have realized who she was grabbing and quickly let go.
“Oh my god! I’m so sorry!”
“It’s fine. It’s normal to be excited knowing your family’s future is going to be brilliant. You have a very talented nephew, miss.”
“Oh you~! Please, no need to call miss. I’m Cassandra Hamada. Cass is also fine.”
“Benjamin Freed.”
Cass laughed.
“I know who you are, sir Freed.”
“You can just call Ben too.”
“Ben then!”
Cass smiled.
Beside him, Tony smirked and started elbowing his side with a knowing look.
[See, even Tony Stark knows it. Host, stop denying it.]
“...”
Benjamin glared at Tony and his inner system and rolled his eyes.
Hiro soon ca down from the stage and was greeted with Tadashi and his friends.
“That was amazing Hiro!”
Tadashi laughed.
Suddenly, another voice appeared at the sides.
“Yes. With so developnt, your tech could be revolutionary.”
Hiro saw this person and was surprised.
“You are…Andrew Forson!?”
Benjamin also glanced at the newly arrived person who ca with his secretary.
And of course, the secretary is a tall hot woman too.
Behind them, they also had two bodyguards giving off a nacing look.
[Andrew Forson - Scientist Supre. Affiliated with A.I.M.]
“...”
Benjamin was sowhat speechless.
He was just wondering where those A.I.M. guys ca from and here cos the Scientist Supre…
Not knowing that his identity had already been found out, Andrew glanced at the side and scoffed at Tony.
“Stark.”
“Forskin. Oh, I ant to say Forson.”
Tony snorted and didn’t forget to taunt Andrew.”
Andrew’s face twitched but didn’t burst into rage.
Instead, he turned back to Hiro and stretched out a hand.
“May I?”
“Uhh sure…”
Hiro took out a small microbot from his pocket and handed it over to Andrew.
Andrew looked at the microbot with a glint in his eyes.
“Extraordinary.”
He smiled and looked back at Hiro.
“I want your microbots at Forson Tech.”
“Seriously!?”
Hiro’s eyes widened and couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Forson Tech is a tech company that could be said to be just on a lower level as Stark Industries or the Baxter Foundation.
It’s fairly new, but they are already one of the best tech industries in the world!
Such a company actually took notice of his invention!
Then, another figure arrived.
“He’s right, Hiro.”
“Professor Callaghan!”
Hiro greeted the old man.
“Your microbots are an inspired piece of tech. You can continue to develop them, or you can sell them to a man who’s only guided by his own self-interest.”
Andrew wasn’t offended and maintained his smile.
“Robert, I know how you feel about , but it shouldn’t affect-”
“This is your decision, Hiro. But you should know, Mr. Forson has cut corners and ignored sound science to get to where he is.”
Andrew sighed and shook his head.
Tony just smirked.
“Get out of here Forson. If Hiro here wants money, I’m more than okay granting him so research fund myself. And for any inventions he creates, it is his own decision what to do with them.”
“I-is that for real, Mr. Stark!?”
Hiro asked excitedly.
“Of course! Who do you think funded your brother’s dical robot project? Rather, who do you think funded his college?”
Tony grinned.
Andrew saw the situation was unfavorable and clicked his tongue in disappointnt while turning to leave.
Just then, Benjamin grabbed his arm.
“Not so fast. I believe that belongs to young Hiro.”
“...My bad.”
Andrew smiled and tossed a microbot back to Hiro.
He turned back to Benjamin with a smile.
“Can I leave now, Captain?”
“No.”
Andrew frowned.
“You’re under arrest, Scientist Supre.”
Andrew’s eyes widened.
Suddenly, the hot secretary and two bodyguards sprang into action.
A yellow suit suddenly ford around them as they attempted to attack Benjamin.
Benjamin rely glanced at them and they all turned into yellow ribbons thanks to the Reality Stone.
“You should really discipline your people. I only said that while guessing but who knew I would be right?”
Benjamin chuckled.
Well, that was a lie though. He already knew he was really the Scientist Supre of A.I.M. but that doesn’t an he can’t ss with his head.
Andrew clenched his teeth but relaxed soon after.
“I advise you to let us go.”
“Or what?”
“You have no idea who you’re dealing with here.”
“Oh yeah? Why don’t you tell ?”
“...”
“Yeah? Didn’t think so. But don’t worry. We have ways to pry information out of you without the need for torture.”
Benjamin opened up a portal back to EPD and tossed Andrew to Fury.
“This guy’s the leader of A.I.M. find out everything he knows.”
“...You caught the guy imdiately? Didn’t you go look for Stark?”
Fury was surprised but then he also saw Tony beside Benjamin.
Tony just shrugged.
“We t him here. I didn’t think he would be the leader of those guys that attacked my place yesterday. But I guess it makes sense since this guy has always been jealous of .”
“Fuck you, Stark!”
“See? Oh, mind letting know how they found out about my cold fusion reactor?”
Fury sighed.
“Fine. Now let go back to my work.”
“Thanks. I’ll check in on you later then. Oh, and take these guys as well.”
Benjamin tossed the ‘yellow ribbons’ into the portal as well which then reford back to humans.
While the group was still confused, Fury already had people restrain them.
After Benjamin closed the portal, he was t with dumbfounded looks by everyone.
“What was that!? How did they turn into ribbons then back to human!?”
“Magic.”
“And what’s that portal thing!? How does it work!?”
“Magic.”
“...”
Everyone was speechless.
Is everything just magic!?
Benjamin shrugged.
“Right, Professor Callaghan, was it? You seem to quite dislike the guy, was there any reason?”
Callaghan sighed and explained.
It seems that just like in the story of Big Hero Six, instead of Allister Krei, it was Andrew Forson who had attempted to create a teleportation device, which failed, killing Callaghan’s daughter, who had been used to test the device.
Tony shook his head.
“I heard about that incident. That island is still cordoned off by the governnt, right?”
Benjamin was silent for a while, then asked.
“Shall we go take a look?”
“Huh?”
