Tony was baffled by what Liam had done, but then again, he had heard of a green monster before, created by the government, so he was more accepting of the facts around him. He then summoned the Hornet, which again surprised Tony, as he had never seen such a design before.

    "I thought you came from NY. This is not big at all," Tony said with sarcasm.

    "I live in NY, but right now, I am in LA," Liam replied as he switched on his Pilot suit again. He soon hopped into the cockpit. "By the way, the one who ordered the hit was Obadiah. Make of it what you will."

    With those words, he switched on the engine, and within a minute, he was cruising past Afghanistan, far away from the military helicopters coming for Tony. Meanwhile, Tony stiffened when he heard that, but then he remembered how his supposed uncle had called him and the attack happened right after that.

    It might be a coincidence, and he was skeptical of this random person who had just come and saved him, but this small doubt was enough for Tony to dig deeper.

    "Liam... Liam... Wake up... Wake up... They found Tony Stark... Wake up." Chris, to be frank, manhandled Liam to wake him up. It was 11 a.m., and Liam was still sleeping in his bed, thanks to the run yesterday. In the game, it was different settings. In the game world, he wouldn''t have to care about food and rest. He could just exist there for ages and not feel a thing in his body.

    Though the other emotions were very raw, not having the drawbacks of endurance loss was a major advantage, which Liam understood after his first mission. He was tired and had just hit the bed after he returned.

    The school itself had allowed them a small vacation after learning that these young children would establish a company. Basically, money speaks.

    The next day

    Early in the morning, they had a meeting with the lawyers and came to some verbal agreements with some of the investors. Liam wanted some clauses that were very odd. For example, when the FBI came in this time, they finally revealed that they belonged to SHIELD, an agency responsible for world security.

    When they came into the picture, Liam had specifically asked for a clause where, in any event of their organization falling apart, all the shares would revert back to Liam and his friends, divided in terms of equity in the company. This clause stumped the lawyer representing SHIELD, as it was an organization that worked globally, and there was no chance of it breaking apart—ever.

    But Liam had asked for it. So, in the end, SHIELD obliged. Chris and Bonnie had no idea what was going on, so they didn''t bother to ask what SHIELD was. But Liam knew. And he was sure that this small trickery wouldn''t alarm Hydra because, to them, he was a nobody. For a nobody, they would never spend their resources to spy on or try to kill him.

    After the meeting, the three went back home to watch Tony''s interview.

    "I thought you weren''t interested in him," Chris teased, as he always seemed quite skeptical of this inventor.

    "I''m not. I''m just curious about what he''ll say since he asked for a press conference immediately after landing," Liam said.

    Nonetheless, they watched the press conference together in their hotel room, where they saw Tony announcing the closure of the weapons department. Liam even spotted Yinsen standing further away.
