The Deal

Tennis court, golf course, and freshwater swimming pool. It was a veritable paradise, complete with stocked supplies, making it an enticing prospect for Christopher.

"How did you find out about my private island?" Tony inquired, his curiosity piqued. He indeed possessed such an island, kept secret even from his closest confidants, including his secretary Pepper, as it served as his base for manufacturing his suits.

"I can even outsmart your Jarvis, what else can't I do?" Christopher replied with a smirk.

Upon hearing the mention of Jarvis, Tony's realization dawned, suspecting that Christopher had gleaned the information from his AI assistant.

"You can negotiate terms. For instance, I offer you a hundred million dollars, and you release Jarvis," Tony proposed.

Christopher shook his head adamantly. "No, I desire your private island, and you must vacate everything on it."

Tony rebuffed, "Unless you can develop a more advanced AI than me, programming additional Jarvis units won't faze me. Besides, I must remind you that the AI on my private island is under my control. Any attempt to manipulate it will be futile. And even if you refuse, I possess the means to counter it."

"You—do you truly wish to be my enemy?" Tony retorted angrily.

"If you refuse my terms, then yes, I shall be your enemy," Christopher asserted without reservation.

"You—" Tony struggled to find words in his frustration.

"I'll give you to the count of three. If you refuse, I won't hesitate to take action," Christopher declared icily.

"One."

"Two."

Faced with Christopher's unwavering determination, Tony relented, conceding, "I agree."

Unable to match Christopher's intellect and resolve, Tony begrudgingly acquiesced.

"You're quite astute. I'm pleased with our arrangement. Perhaps we shall collaborate again in the future. Hahaha..." Christopher chuckled triumphantly.

"Hmph, let Jarvis out quickly," Tony demanded discontentedly.

"Goodbye," Christopher waved, disconnecting control over the Mark Armor.

After removing his helmet, Christopher instructed, "Optimus, release Jarvis."

"As you wish, my liege," Optimus firmly adhered to the order.

"Christopher, you're amazing. You actually dared to blackmail Iron Man directly. Even we at SHIELD wouldn't dare," Natasha expressed her admiration.

"You don't know how arrogant and dismissive he was when I last visited him. He refused to cooperate and rudely sent me away. That arrogance will certainly surface when my armor is produced. Now that I'm free, I intend to cause trouble for him and make him regret refusing to cooperate earlier," Christopher explained determinedly.

"You're quite the vindictive man," Natasha remarked with a sweet smile.

"Yes, I hold grudges, so don't offend me," Christopher asserted arrogantly. With the ability to transform into a Titan and Optimus, an assistant capable of dominating the Internet, he believed he had earned the right to be arrogant.

"How could I offend you, when I like you?" Natasha playfully retorted.

"Haha," Christopher chuckled to himself, he knew what game Natasha, the ace agent is playing. 

She is trying to seduce him to make him loosen his guards. But he will play along for now.

Christopher retrieved several bottles of spirits and poured them on the computer.

"Christopher, what are you doing? Are you planning to burn this computer?" Natasha questioned.

"It's too cumbersome to carry, so I'll burn it," Christopher replied, producing a lighter.

Natasha made a bold move, blocking in front of Christopher. "If you don't want it, you can give it to me. I really like it."

Having witnessed the computer's power firsthand, Natasha felt a sense of attachment to it. Even though it wasn't hers, the thought of such an advanced tech being burned distressed her.

"It's fine to give it to you, but consider the favor I owed you before canceled," Christopher quipped.

The computer's excellence was attributed to his Zola algorithm program. Without it, the computer would be only marginally more advanced than a typical supercomputer.

After pondering for a moment, Natasha realized she could leverage the computer's benefits for herself. She could dedicate it to SHIELD for rewards or sell it to Tony Stark, who would undoubtedly pay handsomely for such advanced technology. With this in mind, Natasha decided and said, "Alright, give me the computer, and we'll consider the favor canceled."

"Okay," Christopher agreed, turning to leave.

Once outside the rental house, Christopher took out his mobile phone and instructed, "Optimus, delete all the data on the computer and restore it to the system used by ordinary computers."

"It's done, my liege," Optimus acknowledged the order.

Christopher then commanded, "Control a set of Mark Armor on the private island to pick me up."

His bulky motorcycle couldn't reach Tony's private island, and taking a boat would be too time-consuming. However, the Mark Armor could arrive much more swiftly.

As Christopher began to depart, he heard Natasha's enraged voice behind him. "Christopher, you deceitful liar! How dare you deceive me? We're finished!"

Initially believing she had gained a significant advantage by acquiring a supercomputer, Natasha realized she had been duped when the intelligent system named Optimus vanished without a trace, leaving no data behind. She felt a sense of betrayal.

Moments later, on the street, a steel robot descended from the sky.

Christopher approached the steel mecha, which opened to reveal a spacious interior. He entered, and the compartment sealed shut behind him.

Seated comfortably within the Mark Armor, Christopher commanded, "Optimus, take us to my new private island."

"As you wish, my liege," Optimus responded, obediently executing the order.

With Christopher not needing to operate it manually, Optimus controlled the Mark Armor, lifting off and soaring into the sky.

From the elevated vantage point, Christopher gazed down at the bustling cities and tiny figures below. A sense of superiority washed over him as he surveyed the world beneath him, feeling like the ultimate master.
