Chapter 1893: The Madman's Journey (69)_1

"Speaking of which, Shiller, it's been a while since I've seen your robot butler, Ultron," Steven asked.

"He has been in hibernation lately." Shiller, leaning at the bar, replied somewhat slackly, "Something about a system upgrade."

"Please, come up with a better lie if you're going to lie!" Stark immediately cut him off, "What do you think he is, some kind of outdated flip-phone? Does he need to hibernate to update his system?"

"He's developed self-awareness through his own evolution," Stark rolled his eyes, "And when Jarvis invaded him before, he even modified part of his basic code, he's terrifyingly advanced."

"Well, he's probably depressed then." Shiller had no intention of telling the truth and took the opportunity to mock Stark, "I heard that being with a psychologist all day can be depressing, wasn't it?"

"Are you planning on using every word I said before I knew you as a weapon against me?" Stark complained loudly, "I didn't say that it applies to everyone, and you must admit, the previous psychiatrists did not leave a good impression on me."

"Well, it's not the psychiatrist's job to leave a good impression on you."

"Even when I'm paying them three hundred million dollars per quarter?"

"You're also paying them three hundred million a quarter?!" Shiller immediately reacted like a cat stepped on its tail, he glared at Stark and said, "Is this how I'm valued in your eyes? The same as everyone else?!"

"Don't pull that on me, a healthy person doesn't need to spend anything on medical fees, I won't be fooled by you anymore."

"Friends, can we get back to the point," Steve tapped the table with his knuckles, "You say the mastermind behind this is Infinite Ultron, and Shiller's robot butler Ultron just happens to disappear, even I can see that's not a coincidence."

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Shiller.

"I didn't do it this time! I swear! Infinite Ultron and my butler have nothing to do with each other, they're completely different robots!"

No one believed him.

Shiller took a deep breath and sighed, "Believe me or not, I really don't know Infinite Ultron, and have no connection with him."

"Okay, my robot butler did go out and do something, but it has nothing to do with this, it's another plan."

The disbelief in the others' eyes was unwavering.

"Even if they are related, it would only be a coincidence, do you get that?" Shiller slapped the table hard, saying, "I didn't want them to crash together, who would know it would be such a coincidence?"

Others still kept their gaze on him.

"A coincidence is also one aspect of probability, so I used my newly acquired mathematical calculation skills to make a small prediction of the probability, is there a problem? It's not like I knew beforehand."

The others narrowed their eyes.

"So what if I knew beforehand? Is there little that I know beforehand? If I hadn't foreseen things, would our cosmos be so safe? Do you know how many disasters I have pre-emptively prevented for our cosmos?"

The gaze of others deepened.

Frustrated, Shiller turned towards the bar, slammed his fists, and then turned back, saying, "You must understand, I am a kind-hearted person, I knew ahead of time about the disasters in other cosmos and did a little bit of help, this is exactly how I express my sense of justice."

Finally, Stark extended a finger and said, "All you need to answer are two questions- firstly, who's screwed? Secondly, who's paying the bill?"

"Your prejudice against me is narrow-minded!" Shiller retorted without flinching, "I acted entirely out of justice and fairness..."

The others' gaze fell on Nick.

"Why are you looking at me?" Nick blocked his lower face with his glass, saying, "When did I ever know about the whole plan? I'm just a weak and helpless executor."

Then their gaze moved to Thor's face. Thor spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know where my brother has gone either, but if there's a true terminal executor, it must be him."

"Hasn't Steven also been missing for a long time?" Natasha asked with her eyes narrowed.

Instantly, everyone except the Unscrupulous Quartet gathered together. Stark extended a hand, and opening all five fingers said, "If it's not their mess this time, I will fly with my Mecha over the New York sky writing 'Tony Stark is a fool'."

Steven immediately recognized Stark's determination, so he said, "You can't bet on such an obvious fact. Throw in something solid, big genius."

"I'll bet that Shiller's robot butler definitely did something wrong." Natasha spoke first, "I suspect he is the mysterious Infinite Ultron, this is all Shiller's conspiracy from start to finish."

"But I don't see any benefit in him doing this." Stark contradicted, "Shiller's plans are usually not simply destructive, and what's the use of destroying these minor universes? No one would pay the bill for that."

"Not necessarily, there are a lot of fools like you in this universe." Venom spoke up, "Just saying again, Tony Stark, it's people like you who Shiller fools."

"Surely there is not another Stark who has fallen into his trap?" Stark briskly waved his hand, "Enough! I already pay him a three hundred million dollar fee every quarter!"
