Gwen Was Busy

"It was nothing more than projection technology."

Tony Stark took a few more looks, then spoke.

"JARVIS!"

He sensed something was wrong and immediately called for JARVIS.

However, JARVIS did not respond.

That made him panic a little.

The Red Queen smiled. "I already sent him back. Don't worry, I didn't destroy it, though in my eyes, it was just a virus."

"Wow!"

The entire venue erupted at those words.

Clearly, the reporters did not believe Tony Stark could have lost so quickly.

"Mr. Stark, is that true?"

The reporters could no longer hold back and immediately began asking questions.

They had been very quiet before.

But now, they could not restrain themselves.

How could Tony Stark possibly have the face to stay? He could already sense that JARVIS was gone.

So, unwilling to admit defeat, Tony Stark simply left.

His face was bright red.

Li Wei waved after him and said, "Mr. Stark may not be feeling well, but let us introduce the Red Queen first."

"The Red Queen is our latest artificial intelligence. She also possesses the ability to learn independently and think for herself. Furthermore, we plan to develop AI software so that everyone in the world can receive the Red Queen's assistance."

"She can chat with you, sing to you, and play games with you. She will become your most loyal companion."

Of course, that would allow Future Technology Company to monitor everyone.

Naturally, Li Wei would not say something so mood-killing.

How could such a powerful AI be used only by himself?

Naturally, it should benefit the whole world.

Sure enough, this immediately caused a massive sensation.

The reporters fired off questions one after another, all of which were answered by the Red Queen.

She displayed her true intelligence.

She was like a real human being, except even more capable.

Thus, Future Technology Company became famous across America once again, and Li Wei happily watched his reputation points soar.

New York, Seraphis Building, not far from Manhattan.

On the surface, it was an ordinary office building.

But in reality, it was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters.

Of course, it was not yet called S.H.I.E.L.D., but the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.

Maria Hill, still graceful and charming, clicked down the empty corridor in high heels, her footsteps echoing with a rhythmic thud.

When she arrived outside the director's office, she knocked on the door and brushed back a strand of hair.

"Come in."

A deep, muffled voice sounded.

Maria Hill opened the door and entered, immediately seeing a bald head gleaming brightly enough to reflect light.

Nick Fury was watching the press conference livestream with rapt attention.

"This Li Wei really is a genius. To think he came up with such a launch format."

Nick Fury sighed in admiration, while Maria Hill merely glanced at the screen.

Li Wei was quite handsome.

"The artificial intelligence he displayed looks more advanced than Tony Stark's."

Maria Hill spoke.

"No."

Nick Fury shook his head. "It has merely been learning longer and has evolved more completely. Tony Stark was too arrogant and got himself played."

In his view, Li Wei had created the AI long ago but had never released it, instead allowing her to learn in secret.

That was why she could now crush JARVIS.

Tony Stark had actually realized it too, but a loss was a loss.

"What should we do, then?"

Maria Hill asked.

"Have you found the gang that attacked him yesterday?"

"We found them. They were members of Devil's Gang."

Nick Fury nodded upon hearing that. "Go make contact with him. See if we can cooperate. He probably will not refuse our orders."

"Me?"

Maria Hill was somewhat surprised and pointed at herself.

She was the deputy director.

"Shouldn't Coulson handle this sort of thing?"

"Li Wei is a man. Although he is not as promiscuous as Tony Stark, the chances of cooperation will be higher if you go."

Nick Fury said this with complete calm.

As long as they were men, there was no one who did not like beautiful women.

Unless their orientation was abnormal...

For agents, using beauty was perfectly normal.

So Maria Hill quickly nodded. It was merely that she had not done this in a long time.

After she left, Nick Fury continued watching the press conference with rapt attention.

This artificial intelligence called the Red Queen seemed nearly perfect.

She could even be humorous and witty, and she appeared to possess a certain degree of human emotion.

Combined with high-tech innovations like brain-computer interfaces, cooperating with Future Technology Company could take S.H.I.E.L.D.'s strength to the next level.

"Boss, someone from Osborn Group contacted me. Norman Osborn wants to meet with you."

After the press conference ended, Li Wei left the Red Queen upstairs to entertain the guests while he slipped away himself.

With the Red Queen's current capabilities, she could easily handle everyone.

"Norman Osborn?"

Li Wei looked at Gwen in her secretary uniform and nodded in satisfaction.

"How about tonight? Forget it, he's not a woman. Why would I meet him at night?"

Li Wei said, "Set it for tomorrow. Have him come to the company."

"Okay."

Gwen immediately nodded.

"So, do you have time tonight?"

Li Wei looked at Gwen.

That made Gwen blush. Lowering her head, she said, "I should."

"What do you mean, 'should'? It's settled. We're going out for dinner."

Like a domineering CEO, he immediately made the decision.

What else could Gwen do?

She could only nod obediently in agreement.

Li Wei was very satisfied, because Gwen was going to be very busy that night.

So before work had even ended, he took Gwen and left.

As they headed out, they happened to see Professor Connors's wife, Martha, arriving.

"Martha, if you need anything, just tell the Red Queen."

Li Wei was very confident in the company's security.

Since the Red Queen had been revealed to the public, she had taken over authority over the entire company building. She could freely control the security, lighting, and everything else.

"Okay, Mr. Li."

Martha nodded gratefully at Li Wei.

In a sense, Li Wei had changed Professor Connors's fate.

If not for Li Wei, Professor Connors would have anxiously experimented on himself...

"Get in, lovely lady."

Li Wei opened the car door for Gwen. Gwen softly thanked him, smoothed her skirt, and got in.

Gwen's short golden hair made her look valiant and spirited. She wore an office uniform, creating a somewhat contrasting air around her.

Being called lovely by Li Wei made her blush a little.

She thought Li Wei did not understand the customs here, so she did not blame him.

In America, calling a girl lovely carried suggestive implications...

2B continued to drive dutifully, heading straight for the reserved restaurant before everyone else got off work and clogged the roads.

Li Wei had chosen an Italian restaurant, as it was Gwen's preference.

Gwen Stacy was actually a little withdrawn. She had few friends at school, and aside from music, she had very few hobbies.

Before meeting Li Wei, she had not even been as cheerful as she was now.

Without realizing it, Li Wei had changed the fates of countless people.
