Chapter 3: Unveiling the Identity! Howard Stark's Adopted Son!

"Little friend, what's your name?"

"Hello, Uncle, my name is Horn."

"Hello Horn, my name is Howard Stark. Would you like to come with me? Uncle will take care of you and buy you candy."

"willing!"

……

"Horn Stark is my brother! Anyone who dares to harm him, I, Tony Stark, will make them pay a heavy price!"

"Don't cry, little Horn. Even though your adoptive father is gone, you still have Tony. Those who bullied you won't get away with it."

"Thank you, Pepper."

……

"Today's headline: Tony Stark makes a strong comeback, taking the helm of Stark Industries, developing multiple new weapons, and leading Stark Industries to new heights in the field of weapons manufacturing."

"The New York Times reports that playboy Tony Stark has stood up for Howard Stark's adopted son, Horn Stark, and has sanctioned several corporations."

Breaking news: To celebrate the tenth birthday of Tony Stark's second son, Tony Stark has gifted him a luxury estate villa and three luxury cars, worth a billion US dollars.

……

"Breaking News! Tony Stark, Chairman of Stark Industries, was attacked by terrorists while on a weapons demonstration trip to the Middle East!"

"Today's news: Tony Stark has been missing for 73 days, and there is still no news!"

"More devastating news! Stark Industries' second son has gone missing!"

……

Memories flashed through Horn's mind like a revolving lantern, making him feel as if he were experiencing a second life.

In particular, the doting affection Howard and Tony showed him, and the care Pepper Potts showed him, the emotions they exuded were so genuine.

When the last segment of his memory played, he was no longer an unregistered person in this world, nor was he a person anymore.

He has his brother Tony Stark, who treats him like a younger brother, and his sister Pepper Potts.

They are all his family in this world!

"Ding! Congratulations on unlocking your new identity: [Howard Stark's adopted son]!"

As the notification sound rang, Horn finally snapped out of his daze.

"Howard Stark's adopted son...the second son of Stark Industries...Tony Stark's brother..."

Having acquired this identity, Horn felt a mix of emotions, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

On the bright side, with this status, and by spending normally, he could easily achieve financial freedom, could relax, and wouldn't need to struggle for money or become a slave to it.

The sadness stems from Tony Stark's fate. As the center of the Marvel Universe, he faces countless dangers and troubles in the future, and he certainly doesn't want the tragedy in Avengers: Endgame to happen.

Unless he is heartless, oblivious to everything around him, and completely gives up.

But when the avalanche actually happened, how could he, who was at the foot of the mountain, escape unscathed?

Therefore, he must take up the mantle and change his destiny!

Horn quickly accepted his new identity and set a long-term goal in his mind.

"However, the priority now is to get through this hurdle; otherwise, all of this is just empty talk."

He then looked away and peered through the crack in the floor at the two people who had finished their conversation with David and were heading towards the stairwell.

Judging by sight, they were about 1.8 meters tall, one white and one black. They were not particularly burly, but their arms were muscular.

If this had happened a few minutes ago, Horn would definitely have been in serious trouble. Now, the only thing he needs to be careful about is the pistols on their waists and the submachine guns slung over their shoulders.

They are incredibly powerful; even Spider-Man, with his six times the physical strength of an average person, would be knocked down by a single blow.

"call……"

Horn took a deep breath, used his fingers to easily untie the ropes binding his body, hands, and feet, but did not make any rash moves. He continued to pretend to be bound, adjusting his breathing to keep himself calm, and then quietly waited for the right moment.

Just then, the two people's voices gradually approached from the stairwell.

"Heh heh, the second son of the prestigious Stark family has been slept with by a man. If this gets out, it'll be explosive news!"

"I'm still a little worried that the boss will blame us. After all, given his position, if things go wrong, the boss won't be able to explain it to the employer..."

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle later. I promise I won't hurt this delicate little guy. Besides, that guy told our boss to spare his life for now, but he didn't say we can't touch him, right?"

"Let's agree on this first, I'll get the first blood..."

At this point, the two of them had walked to within two meters of Horn.

The Black man walking in front, upon hearing what the white man said, immediately turned around and said firmly,

"No, the first blood has to be mine!"

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, the white man's expression changed, and he pointed behind the black man and exclaimed in surprise.

But next second.

puff-

Crimson blood splattered all over his face.

A black tactical sword, over a meter long, pierced through the black man's chest from behind.

And their momentum didn't slow down; to the incredulous gaze of the white people, they were strung together like a candied hawthorn on a stick, along with the black people.

"Uh..."

He tried to call for help, but blood kept gushing from his mouth, and he couldn't make a sound.

He instinctively reached for the pistol at his waist, but before he could lift it, he lost all his strength and his arm went limp.

"call--"

Horn let out a long sigh, suppressing the discomfort of killing for the first time. Seeing that the two were completely still, he carefully laid them down on the ground to avoid alerting the people downstairs.

"I've passed the first hurdle."

He slowly drew his tactical Tang sword, and then, still not entirely at ease, stabbed the white and black people a few more times, including their heads, before finally feeling relieved.

"The rest are the people downstairs, but they won't be so easy to deal with."

Two fists can't beat four hands, especially since there are more than a dozen people downstairs with guns.

"Oh right! I still have 1000 check-in points left to use!"

As Horn was pondering a solution, he suddenly noticed the number of check-in points displayed on the [Multiverse Check-in Device].

The 【Multiverse Check-in Device】is shaped like a mini pyramid, only the size of a palm, and is entirely golden. If you close your eyes, you can see it floating motionless in the darkness. According to its description, you only need to think about what you want to do.

At that moment, he thought about opening a blind box, and a blue transparent interface immediately appeared in his mind.

[Beginner Blind Box]: 1000 points

[Intermediate Blind Box]: 10000 points

[Premium Blind Box]: 100000 points (100,000)

[Top-tier blind box]: 1000000 points (one million)

[God-tier Blind Box]: 10000000 points (ten million)

Five types of blind boxes appeared on the interface, and each blind box also had a corresponding number of check-in points required to open it.

"Are these god-tier blind boxes really that expensive?"

Horn glanced at the price and was shocked by it.

However, once you see the corresponding prize pools, you understand.

The highest reward you can get from a beginner blind box is a D-level reward, while the highest-level blind box guarantees an S-level reward!

This undoubtedly gave him great confidence in achieving his goal of changing his destiny.

"Open the beginner's blind box."

Time was of the essence, so he didn't waste any time and directly used his check-in points to open the blind box.

At the same time, I silently prayed: "Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Lady Luck, please bless me so I can get gold!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained one [Observation Haki: Beginner] skill book!"

"Should we use it immediately?"
