"And why the sudden generosity?" Liam asked.
[Sihe host has crossed the A-css evaluation, any game with a sequel ow be accessed iure.]
"That's good to know. Wait, are there other privileges once I finish a game with an S-css her rating?" Liam was now more curious.
[It will be revealed ohe host achieves that result.]
"Hmph. One day I will," Liam vowed, though he himself didn't believe it. These NPCs were a nightmare, and their high intelligence didn't help him at all. He had died more than 40 times just to the orcs, who were mere brutes. If it had been human NPCs, he would undoubtedly have faced traps in an open-wame.
"I will tio Shadow of War."
[Accepted. Good lu your journey.]
Though Liam was a bit disappointed about the ck of rewards for now, he looked forward to the day so he could start Shadow of War. The wraith abilities were far cooler than what he could use currently, and this game would only hone his skills further.
The Day
Liam and his friends returo New York. Stark had allowed them to take the private jet home as a farewell gift. Phil also expressed his sadness at not being able to apany them to New York, as he loved the city—and it was where his beloved car, Lo, was kept.
Liam also left BT with Stark, who would iigate and figure out more teology from the Titan and then fu into the pany. Both Stark Industries and Marvel pany. Yes, Liam had decided to heir own pany Marvel.
On the way, Liam's parents were very happy and proud, while Chris and Bonnie's parents were incredibly grateful for being allowed to have shares in the pany. They khis meant they were set for life.
"Dad, does this mean I won't have to go to uy?" Chris asked.
"You wish. You'll plete a course in business ma so you help your friend here. Otherwise, you'll just squander all the money s and women if you don't do any work," Chris's mom said bluntly, not allowing his dad to answer here.
"Mom, don't say it like that," Chris replied, not embarrassed by her words but seemingly ed about her perception.
"Our family has a history s, and this is necessary for a better future," Chris's mom added. Her words made the atmosphere a bit awkward, but Mason quickly tried to ge the topic.
Chris's family did, indeed, have a history with drugs. Her own brother had died of an overdose, and her father had been an abusive alcoholic. This was why Chris's mom was so strict with him. She ensured he had the right friends and showered him with love and attention. Bonnie's parents, oher hand, had beericter. But now, after learning they were rich, Liam had a feeling Bonnie would finally be free from her family's burdens.
A Month Later
Liam and his family didn't move to a new home, but his friends' families did. They relocated closer to Liam's family, as it was a good area and they'd found a great deal. For Liam, the past month had been quite the journey. He had been fighting and dyiedly but rogressing quickly iory while getting aced to his new wraith abilities.
Now, he was using a spear as well and had to learn bat with this on, even though it was exclusive to his wraith form.
Meanwhile, a major ge had occurred at Stark Industries. Obadiah was accused of treason, as he had allegedly provided ons and logistics to enemy tries and terrorists. Tony had uncovered the truth and involved both SHIELD and the FBI.
One day, they stormed Obadiah's office, and he was arrested. Surprisingly, he mao get bail, but the trial had begun, and he wasn't allowed to leave the try. He also had to report to the police department daily.
Tony articurly angry that Obadiah had been granted bail, so he vented his frustration by visiting terrorist camps himself. Uhe inal story, his new armor was far superior. He unleashed hell on several terrorist groups, including in Gulmira, where he destroyed everything in his path.
Thanks to advanced armor and material teology provided by BT, the Air Force didn't eve him on radar. However, SHIELD mao obtain some pictures of his exploits.
"Man, this guy Phil has been such a nuisance. He shows up and starts asking questions. I'm tired of people now," Tony pined after enthusiastically calling Liam to talk about his ret adventures.
"Are you mad that he's b you, or that he's trying to get cozy with Pepper?" Liam asked. Tony immediately turo look at Yinsen, who subtly moved his head, pretending to know nothing.
"Yinsen, you're banned from entering the garage for a week. No, make it four days," Tony said. Liam ughed, feeling sorry for Yinsen, who had snitched on Toe knowier.
Yinsen could only nod in acceptance.
"Did you find an alternate power source?" Liam asked, referring to Tony's arc reactor. Tony dodged the question with some nonsense, which was indication enough that he hadn't. Acc to Yihough, there was still time, and Tony had been w hard to find a solution.
Meanwhile, Obadiah received a call from Russia. Someone had reached out to him, promising to provide everything he o take revenge on Tony—if he was willing to accept the offer.
Of course Obadiah jumped on the offer and made routes for this new person to nd in America. He might have been in bail but that didn't mean he had lost access to all of his money even though many of his ats were frozen. The person who had offered to help Obadiah was, as expected, Ivan Vanko. The other traitor.
Since his father was banned from America, by extensiooo was. Thus he needed a el to e to America, in the exge that he would help him to take revenge on Tony.
