Chapter 149: Tony got rejected
Chapter 149: Tony got rejected
"Dada, get up, It's my college graduation day." Leo woke him up. Leo was about to turn 15 and has already completed his Masters in Biotechnology.
"Okay okay, let's go." Alexander got up. He used magic to wash up and headed out with Leo.
"Is your mother coming with us?" He asked.
"Nope, she's going to India for Kindheart work. Rina is probably eating somewhere with her Hippogriff friend, Monty. Amy is off somewhere painting and Medusa is probably snuggling with Loki. Haven't seen big sis Hela." He told him.
"Then it's just you and me, I guess. Let's go." Alexander patted his head.
Alexander took out a random Rolls Royce and went with him. It wasn't really important to personally go to get graduation ceremony but Leo had gotten a bit famous for his good brain. His popularity rose even more, when no one could find who his parents were or where he lived. Who could have guessed that he lived in a different dimension?
Soon they entered the University grounds. "Are you going to do a Ph.D. as well?" He asked.
"Maybe, It's not like there's anything left to learn. The degrees are just for the validation purpose." He replied.
"Well well, why are there so many people here? Oh, look. Our Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist is here to give a speech. Here, take these earplugs."
"Haha, why are you so critical of him?" Leo asked."You'll know soon enough." He replied as they took their seats.
After a while, Tony went on stage, "How are you all noobs? Hah, I like that word, my father used to say that a lot. Anyways, you all are graduating. Good for you. You should also be happy that I have paid for all your student debts. Yes, perks of being a billionaire. I am also starting a Stark Industries Internship program. I've heard that a genius is graduating with you all. I forgot his name, oh... Wait... I remember, it's Ronidas."
Leo quickly stood up and walked to the stage, "Sorry to interrupt you but your genius brain has failed you this time, Mr. Stark. My name is Leonidas, with an L."
"Ah, yes. Leonidas, I am happy to announce that I am offering you a position in my company with a yearly salary of 500K. You and your parents should be happy, Kid." Tony haughtily announced.
Leo shook his head in disappointment, "I must respectfully decline."
Tony interestingly looked at him and asked, "Why?"
"I don't want to associate myself with a company that solely makes money from creating weapons that kill people. I'd rather work in Nevaeh Industries." Leo replied.
"But don't you wanna get rich? You are pretty young and they would surely not pay you as much as I can." Tony wanted to hire him now as he thought he was interesting.
"Huh, I don't need money. Forget my father, even my uncle (Dobby), or even my big sister (Hela) can buy the whole Stark Industries like it's nothing. Flexing on money won't take you very far, Sir. Now I need to go back. I am quite busy." Leo took the degree certificate and left the stage.
Tony just looked at him leaving, "What an attitude, Jarvis. I want you to search for his background. Who are his parents that can buy Stark Industries?"
Jarvis quickly replied, "There is no data on him, Sir. It's like he didn't even exist up until 5 years ago."
"Hmm, I like mysteries. Keep an eye on him." Tony ordered and continued his talking.
Meanwhile, Leo had come back to Alexander, "He's too full of himself, Dada. I can't imagine how angry uncle Howard would get if he saw him like this."
"Haha, see, I warned you. Let's go now." They got back into the car. Suddenly Ghost spoke.
"Sir, there's an A.I following you. Do you want me to remove it?" It asked.
"Ah, it must be Jarvis. Don't kill it, Ghost. Just make sure that it can't track us." He ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Alexander and Leo headed to the Westeros Bar to celebrate his graduation.
Jarvis suddenly found himself losing his target. It was like someone deliberately made everyone a target for him. He couldn't differentiate. Finally, he lost and reported it to Tony.
"Sir, I just lost the car Leonidas was traveling in. There was another man with him but I couldn't see his face. I could also not follow the car for some reason. It was like someone blocked me on purpose."
"Hmm, well, what can we do? The kid must have made something to stay hidden. Don't fret about it Jarvis, you are not perfect yet." Tony, being his careless self, stopped thinking about it.
...
"Dada, do you think we can become like Grandpa God someday?" Leo asked.
"Umm, we probably can. But we'll need to get very strong for that. Strong enough to be able to create universes." Alexander thoughtfully replied.
"How close are you to that point?"
"Well, I can surely make a small world with my powers but I still have a long way to go. I am sure that I am not even 5% equal to father's powers."
"*Whistle* Grandpa God is strong," he exclaimed.
"Dada, look. He's blind, we should help him." Leo pointed to a man in a black suit and a helping stick in his hand.
"Hmm, we should. Let's ask him if he's trying to cross or waiting for the bus. Today is transporter's strike and he might not know it." Alexander said.
They pulled over near the guy and Leo asked. "Do you need help? Do you need to cross the road?"
The man felt a bit surprised but not enough to fluster. "Oh, thank you but I am waiting for the bus."
"But the buses won't come. Their drivers are on strike today. Get in the car, Mister. We will drop you off." Leo offered.
"It's alright, lad. Get in." Alexander added.
A bit reluctantly, the blind man got in the backseat.
Alexander asked for his destination, "Where are you going, lad?"
"Westeros Bar on E 69th Street."
"Haha, what a coincidence. We were going there to celebrate my son's graduation. What's your name?" Alexander asked.
The man quickly took out his business card and gave it to Alexander, "Hmm, Matthew Michael Murdock, a Lawyer. Good good, I'll keep this card in case I ever need a lawyer."
~He must be going to meet Frank aka Punisher.~ he thought.
"Please just call me Matt, and you can call me anytime you need a lawyer." Matt politely answered while looking around with his radar sense. He was surprised how easily Alexander accepted a blind man being a lawyer.
Soon they reached the bar.
Leo ran in to greet Dobby and Ragnarok. "Uncle Dobby, Grandpa Rag. I want ten burgers today."
Alexander and Matt got into the bar. Frank was already sitting in one corner probably waiting for Matt. He helped Matt find Frank, acting like he didn't know about Matt's powers.
Frank spoke to Matt, "Why did you come with him?"
"He gave me a lift. Why? Any problems with him?" Matt, interestingly asked.
"No, no problem. Let's talk about the plan. I am going to kill these Hand f*ckers" Frank angrily stated.
"I do not support your ways but Nobu Yoshioka must be dealt with."
The two planned for their excursion while Alexander was having a drink with the others.
"Yeah, he denied the job on the stage, in front of everyone," Alexander told them about their morning.
"Haha, I can't wait for Howard to whip that boy when they meet." Ragnarok laughed.
Suddenly Alexander's eyes fell on the T.V screen and saw a giant green guy jumping around and destroying things.
Dobby and Ragnarok also followed his vision and looked at the green man.
"I guess you'll be going there, boss," Dobby predicted.
"I have to. Otherwise, he'll be running and hiding from the Army for the rest of his life. Leo, I'll be coming for dinner. Find Amy and get her back home before night, she sometimes gets too engrossed in painting." Alexander instructed.
"Yes, Dada. All the best." Leo replied while munching on burgers.
Alexander went into the backside of the bar and took out his Anywhere door. He selected the destination as Hulk and opened the door. Just on the other side, he saw Hulk in the desert. Wreaking Havoc on the nearby military tanks.
He instantly pulled him into the mirror dimension. Hulk suddenly noticed that the Tanks were not shooting at him anymore. Then he saw Alexander. He was already seething with rage and only saw Alexander as his target.
