Tony was cheg the holographic yout of the Titan, and with every turn, he was amazed as JARVIS pointed out teical capabilities he had never seen before. BT also spoke iail about its own build and provided a more thh diagnosis.

  "Where did you get this thing? Don't tell me you made it yourself," Tony said, now curious, as he was sure the current teology he had seen around couldn't hold a dle to it.

  "I never said I made it myself. I'm just riding the shoulders of someone else," Liam ented, unwilling to eborate further. To into deep thought for some time before speaking again.

  "I want to duct deep resear your Titan and then make some of the teside public—of course, excluding the ons system. This Titan has so many advas that it will help us a lot. That is, of course, if you agree."

  "Do what you want. But your house first," Liam replied.

  "Uh… I'll take care of it," Tony promised, though he felt a bit sad. He had already seen how Obadiah reacted when he spoke about shutting down the ons manufacturing. He feared the worst but decided to give this man the be of the doubt.

  Liam didn't stay much longer ae at night, leaving BT behind for more ih research.

  A few days ter

  The Stark Mansion

  "I 't believe Tony Stark himself invited us to his home. Oh my god, I must be dreaming… Pinch me, Liam!" Chris excimed as they stopped at the gate of the huge mansion. Booo, was thrilled.

  "Better start believing it," Liam said, remaining nont.

  She hadn't expected Stark Industries to i in their pany in such a big way. The board hadn't been happy with the decision, but oark id out all the new iions he was going to e up with, they fell silent. Uhe inal story, Tony personally took charge this time.

  He met with the entire board and presented a pn for the future dire of the pany. He reassured them that even if Stark Industries closed its ons division, it could veo energy and other products. Though the board of directors remained skeptical, they were willing to give Tony a ce to prove himself.

  Meanwhile, To a close eye on Obadiah and noticed how his loyalists on the board were trying to derail him. Thankfully, the vote went in Tony's favor.

  He had also started digging into Obadiah's life, and he didn't like what he found. By now, Tony almost fully believed Liam. The st defeony had against Liam's cims had crumbled, and he now saw Liam as his savior. Little did Tony know, when Liam said he didn't e to save Tony, he actually meant it.

  Liam had really e to save Yihe primary reason was that Yinsen was a good soul, but also because Liam wao see if the TVA would ever show up for this man. Today, the three teenagers would officially open their pany, and Tony had invited everyoo his humble abode to celebrate the deal.

  Even the parents of the three teenagers were flown to L.A. to finalize everything and sign the papers.

  "You've climbed the dder very fast. I'm proud of you," Phil said, approag Liam.

  "And I'm relieved that you're the one running point here in the deal," Liam replied. Phil had first e to apologize to Liam for withholding information about his background, which Liam didn't mind at all—Phil had only been following orders.

  "gratutions on the deal," Phil tinued. "You're a millionaire now."

  "Not yet. I don't sider credit amounts as real money. Until I have it in my hands, it's not mine."

  "Hahaha..." Phil ughed. Liam met many people at the party. He met Pepper, who was handling the guests alohe party went on for hours and even included dang. The parents of the teenagers didn't hold ba the dance floor, enjoying themselves to the fullest. Bonnie invited Liam to dance, and he relutly obliged. Tony gave him knowing looks from the side.

  Though the party was cheerful, Tony wasn't in the spotlight as usual. He kept to himself, occasionally talking to Pepper, Yinsen, and Liam.

  Even Obadiah felt unwele at the party. He represeark Industries, so he could only smile and e, but inside, he was fuming. He could see Tony was beginning to suspeething, aed how things were progressing.

  The party sted until sometime after midnight, but these were wealthy people with their own lifestyles. Tony invited Liam, his friends, and their parents to stay the night, and they happily agreed.

  Later that night, the three of them went down to the garage.

  "So how many days does he have to live?" Liam whispered to Yinsen.

  "You know about this?" Yinsen was surprised Liam was aware of the paldium poisoning. As the doctor who had performed the inal surgery, Yinsehe situation well.

  "It's not that difficult to figure out. What is he doing about it?" Liam asked.

  "He's looking for alternative sources. Tony is now researg your Titan deeply while als on his own armor," Yinsen replied.

  "Hmm..." Liam didn't ent further. He could help Tony by pointing him in the right dire, but he felt there was no need. SHIELD would help him eventually, and Liam had already achieved the goodwill he wanted from Tony Stark.

  He knew he had disrupted the timeline by now, and the TVA wasn't ing—at least not yet, or maybe hus, he would have to safeguard some key points of the story. Liam just hung out with Tony for sometime before he went to bed, while Tony tinued w.

  This was expected of him since he was running in devil time and had to find his way out of the problem. But before he went to bed, Liam o do his everyday routine. Go to his game world.
