My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 609: You really broke Dad's heart, you little brat
Intimidation, a special negotiation skill that even some professionals find difficult to master, is obviously a difficult and unfamiliar field for the fledgling twins.

Knowing very little about the target and rashly and without any skill intimidating a target who already has a lot of information about you, the ultimate consequence is that the right to speak in the negotiations will be passively handed over to the other party.

This is what is happening to Pietro and Wanda right now. Faced with Ulysses Klaue's eloquent words, the brother and sister, who are not good at speaking, stood there for a moment, not knowing how to continue the negotiations.

"...If that's all you are, then I can only say sorry. I'm afraid I'm not that scared." Ulysses Klaue said jokingly.

Seeing this scene, Skye and Simmons couldn't help but hold their foreheads. The scene in front of them, which was quite similar to déjà vu, made them recall the "good memories" when they carried out the mission together.

They were immature, flustered, uncooperative, and had no plans. They had a lot of skills but were flying around like headless flies.

According to Lainie, the scene at that time was simply a disaster...

However, the way they both wanted to laugh but couldn't was a little weird in the eyes of Wanda and Pietro.

Wanda, who was closest to the scene, wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, even though the person who made such a joke in the picture was not her at all.

“…So, if you also want to control my brain and make me see a big squid, I know you are not here to do business, and you can’t call the shots.”

The illusion continued, and Ulysses seemed to feel that he had gained the absolute upper hand in this psychological game. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smug smile, which contained a bit of disdain and sarcasm.

"And I only talk to people who can make the decision!"

Ulysses stood up from his chair, and his aura of confidence and arrogance instantly filled the entire room, as if he was the only one in control of this negotiation.

"Has he always been so arrogant?" Rhodey looked at Tony and complained.

For some reason, Roddy always felt that the sloppy man in the picture always had a shadow of Tony's past unruly and conceited spirit, but Ulysses's spirit seemed more unpretentious and straightforward, making it difficult to ignore.

"Who knows? The last time we saw him, he was still looking for profit."

Tony shook his head, his eyes not staying on Ulysses or the billiard ball, but staring at the twins all the time.

Unlike the two twins at the conference table, the dark feeling accumulated by these two in the illusion is obviously much stronger.

Tony could roughly guess the reason for such a sharp difference, so he was particularly concerned about what extremes the siblings would end up going to if their situation really continued as in the illusion.

The dim cabin was in a stalemate for a moment. Ulysses, who thought he had the situation under control, looked down on the slightly nervous brother and sister in front of him, but what he didn't notice was that outside the lounge, which was only separated by a glass, a very threatening figure was flying silently in front of everyone.

Ultron has appeared!
The Avengers who were watching the illusion couldn't help but sit up straight at this moment. The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone was nervously waiting for the further development of the plot.

Bang!
The sudden sound of glass shattering echoed throughout the cabin, followed by the disheveled figure of Ulysses Klaue flying out of the cabin. Ultron defeated him with just one blow, crushing Ulysses' arrogance into pieces on the spot.

"No one can be the master..."

The eerie voice echoed in the corridor, and the next second Ultron's strange mechanical body appeared naked in front of everyone for the first time.

Under the dim light, its cold metal body reflected a cold light in the weak light, which contrasted with its eyes emitting an eerie red light, revealing unquestionable majesty and a strong sense of oppression that made people's backs chill.

Ultron leaned down and put his head close, looking closely at the man who was lying beneath him, feeling his heartbeat gradually speeding up due to fear, and a satisfied evil smile appeared on his mechanical face.

"Now, we can talk."

"Did you also design this horrible look?"

Skye swallowed. Although she knew very well that the scene before her was just an illusion created by Lainie, the extremely oppressive scene just now still made her heart beat faster and sweat appeared on her palms.

This made her understand a little bit why the sloppy man lying on the ground was able to engage in the arms smuggling business. Just the courage to remain calm in the face of threats was something that ordinary people could not match.

But what caught Skye's attention next was Ultron's cold and complex mechanical structure.

Although the structures in some individual positions are obviously different, it can still be seen from the outline and structure that this appearance is based on the precise design of human muscles and bones.

It's just that the flesh and blood body has been replaced by cold hard metal and sophisticated circuits, and its interior is just an artificial intelligence program with extreme logic.

"No, we have never reached this stage. It has developed and learned all by itself."

Maya Hansen explained that she also noticed the uniqueness of Ultron's iron body. As a scientist with profound attainments in ergonomics and biotechnology, Maya was also surprised that Ultron could so skillfully combine the aesthetics of machinery and biology to create a form that was both terrifying and charming.

"It seems to be intentionally imitating the biological structure of humans. What is it trying to do?"

Dr. Banner felt terrified for a moment. He had watched the movie "I, Robot" several times and even read the original novel.

We are well aware of how complex and dangerous the chain reactions that may be triggered will be when an AI begins to imitate and try to understand humans, especially when this imitation goes beyond simple functional replication and enters the realm of emotion and self-awareness.

"Does it want to become a human?"

Fitz didn't dare to believe his own guess, or rather, he didn't want to believe his own guess.

Otherwise the consequences would be too terrible. The definition of human beings might become blurred, the boundary between machines and humans would be completely broken, and suspicion and panic would spread in everyone's heart.

Everyone was silent, and everyone couldn't help but clench their fists, while at the same time becoming increasingly uneasy about what was about to happen.

Rumbling--

The heavy metal hatch was pushed open by Ulysses' men, revealing barrels of toxic waste with biological warning symbols printed on them. If someone bought them from Ulysses, they would probably become dirty bombs that would bring disaster when they reappeared.

"Damn it."

Wanda's expression was very ugly, and she couldn't help but recall the scene of the disaster.

If she were to rank the things she hated in her heart, war and arms dealers who profited from the blood of others would definitely be ranked second and third on the list.

However, everyone was somewhat relieved that in the illusion, Ultron's purpose was not these toxic wastes, and it did not bother to use these inefficient means to deal with the Avengers.

What it is more concerned about are actually the rare metals hidden in the dark room above the toxic waste, and the jars of vibranium fragments sealed in glass containers.

"My church will be built on this rock." Ultron imitated what Jesus said to Peter in the Bible, took the glass jar containing the "rock" from Ulysses, and played with it in his hands.

It is worth mentioning that this sentence seems to echo the previous sentence "no one can decide", comparing itself to a person comparable to Jesus Christ.

“It still wants to be Jesus?”

Sitwell interrupted, and for a moment he just felt that the scene was indescribably weird.

Because in his memory, the last person who wanted to do this was beaten by Leni and the others so badly that even his own mother couldn't recognize him, and he rolled back to Asgard in disgrace. It was even said that he didn't even have a decent funeral in the end, and died on the deserted beach of Svartalfheim.

"Not only that, it also wants to be the destroyer and savior of the world."

Lainie curled her lips and continued with disdain:

“Don’t forget that in addition to being able to perform miracles, God can also bring disaster to humans who do not agree with his teachings.”

"You mean the Great Flood?"

Nick Fury, who had been watching the development of the situation silently, spoke at this moment. At the same time, he also understood why Lanie insisted on implementing the "Theta Procedure" and repaired the helicarrier under pressure from Congress and the Security Council. It turned out that she had expected such a day to come.

"Hiss~ Then don't we have to hide in the Himalayas?"

Skye, whose train of thought was out of control, suddenly said this, causing Lainie to roll her eyes.

"This is not 2012. I don't have the ability to build a dock in the Himalayas for you to build an ark. I repaired this mothership only because it is worth it. As for the end of the world..."

Lainie paused and mocked the huge figure of Ultron in the picture:

"It's not worth the trouble for me to find a way to survive."

Her words temporarily eased the tense atmosphere at the conference table. Among all the people present, who was most confident about the current situation, it was obviously not just Lainie. That was why everyone was willing to place their hopes on her and watch this dangerous drama here safely.

"…The money has been transferred to your virtual account."

Having gotten what he wanted, Ultron was obviously not stingy in giving Ulysses the due response. To Ultron now, money is nothing more than a bunch of numbers that he can control at will, and he doesn't care about it at all.

“There are so many financial tricks…”

Ulysses ignored Ultron's condescending tone. He didn't care about that. He cared about whether his account really received billions of dollars.

However, seeing that the mobile phone handed to him by his subordinate had indeed received a notification of the arrival of funds from the bank, he no longer cared about the kind of "person" he was trading with.

"It's disgusting that they only care about profit." Wanda frowned and cursed.

Hearing this, Lainie smiled bitterly and patted Wanda's shoulder gently, signaling her to be patient.

"Don't panic, he will get the punishment he deserves."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ultron in the illusion suddenly started speaking in a familiar tone to everyone.

"I always say, make your friends and enemies rich, and then see who is the real friend in the end."

After these words were spoken, not only did Ulysses Klaue in the illusion stand there in a daze, but everyone watching the show at the conference table couldn't help but turn their eyes to Tony again.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, Ultron just borrowed a wise saying of mine that I don't use often."

Tony Stark shrugged, seemingly not caring about his words being imitated by AI. Instead, he somewhat enjoyed this subtle "glory".

But these words sounded different to Ulysses Klaue. He should never have been so foolish as to mention the name "Stark" at this moment.

"Tony Stark actually said that to me, so you are his."

"what?"

This obviously aroused Ultron's "rebellious psychology". For it, the fact that such a special self was created by Tony Stark is a pain point that it can never let go of.

Ultron's face in the illusion was distorted, and the calmness and ease he had just shown disappeared in an instant, with a hint of unwillingness and anger in his voice.

"Me? His? Joke!"

Ultron grabbed Ulysses' arm, and anger surged between his mechanical fingers like electricity, almost tearing the fragile flesh and blood apart.

"Do you think I'm Stark's puppet? His lackey? Look at me, do I look like Iron Man? Stark is an idiot!"

Ulysses Klaue was shocked by the sudden power and his face turned pale. He tried to break free from Ultron's shackles, but found himself as small as an ant in front of this machine.

"I, Ultron, am a being that transcends everything. I am not anyone's appendage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ultron's high-temperature mechanical arm suddenly swung down, and there was a "whoosh" sound!
The arm of Ulysses Klaue that was tightly grasped by Ultron was broken into two parts. The method was so cruel that it seemed as if what was split was not a human arm, but a rotten wood or a dead branch.

"Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm sorry, I just..."

It seemed that due to the underlying restriction code, Ultron suddenly became schizophrenic and kept apologizing to the painful Ulysses.

But this kind of "kindness" did not last long, and it turned into anger and dissatisfaction again, making people wonder whether the change in its expression just now was just an act.

"I just can't understand why you mentioned Stark to me. He is a thorn in my side. He makes me feel sick!"

Tony's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be annoyed that the other party hated him so much, or secretly mock himself for occupying such a "unique" position in this guy's heart.

But the next second someone responded to Ultron on his behalf, and the Avengers in the illusion finally arrived.

"Oh, little brat, you really broke your dad's heart."
