《The Merchant of Death》A Clinical Psychopath
Advertisement
Anthony was a famed Neurobiologist from Canada. He was a genius of his era and also a Nobel Laureate for finding a permanent cure of Ebola while he was still 28. People from all around the world hailed him as a second coming of Christ Itself as he had done so much for the sake of humanity.
He had made many of his patents public so people could use his research to provide the medicines at cheap rates, he opened hospitals all around the globe where you can get treated for many types of chronic diseases for little to no fees and on top of that, his generous donations of billions of dollars had helped a lot of third world countries eradicate problems such as hunger.
Now although many people treated him as a God’s avatar, very few people knew who he really was.
He was a narcissistic realist with absolutely no empathy towards anyone. A Misanthrope who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
At a tender age of 9, he killed his parents by cutting the brakes of their car so that he could inherit their fortune and continue his research on microorganisms and Artificial Intelligence. He dropped out of college because they had nothing to teach him at the age of 16 and he invented his very own AI Chip at the age of 17 which could be ingested in one’s body and had quite a lot of useful functions such as audio visual recording, zoom, memory upto 700 petabytes, hacking and other features to aid in his experiments.
He named his AI Jarvis because he was a fan of Ironman, not because he was a superhero, but because he was only a human, yet was comparable to gods when he decided to suit up.
Right now, he was sitting in his lab which was on an isolated island in the pacific ocean with many kinds of scientific apparatuses placed all around him.
He’d been in his lab for thirty hours, working on his research without any signs of stopping as his entire concentration was on an african male child who looked quite malnourished at the age of about 10, lying on a sophisticated bed with needles all around him.

‘Start the Experiment with the modified T-90 Serum’ Said Anthony in his mind to Jarvis while looking towards the young boy in-front of him.
[Experiment No. C-1503]
[Checking Vitals of the subject………]
[Heart rate rising…..Blood Pressure increasing…..Bone Marrow dissolving….]
[Experiment Failed, The Subject has lost all vitals]
Sound of Jarvis was being continuously played in his mind, telling him that the child has indeed died but one cannot see any signs of emotion in his cold and calculative eyes, as he just turned around and said
‘Clean the Lab, prepare for a new experiment, and make me a coffee.’ after which he simply walked away from his lab.
After walking out, he went on a comfortable sofa in his living room where a mug of coffee was waiting for him by the side table. Taking the coffee in his hand, he said
“Call Micheal”
[Calling Michael Stratos….]
“Hello Anthony, How are you bro?” Said a cheerful voice of a guy.
“I need more slaves.” Replied Anthony with a simple voice.
“Bro, you do know that the underground slave market is heavily targeted by the Interpol, right?”
“$250,000 for a slave. Age should be around 10” said Anthony ignoring Michael’s words.
“Bro listen, It’s not about the money, It really is difficult to smuggle people from africa now.” replied Michael in a nervous tone.
“Then get from Pakistan, India, Korea, America. There’s an entire world to exploit, I don’t care where you get them from. Raid one of my orphanages if you have to. I just need at least 10 kids.”
“Geez bro-”
“$500,000 per slave, Will send half in advance”
“.....*sigh*...Ok”
[Call Disconnected]
After disconnecting the call, Anthony simply sipped on his coffee when suddenly all the alarms on his island went off.
All kinds of warnings started to display on multiple glasses all around the Lab as the entire Island started to shake violently.
Water started to gush inside from everywhere and all the chemicals in his lab automatically got sealed to prevent any major catastrophe.
Seeing all this, Anthony had only one thought in his mind.

“WHO DID IT?”
Yeah, He knew that this cannot be a natural disaster as he has researched about this island and this area extensively before buying it and more so because a natural disaster won’t come spontaneously with this much power to actually break the defences made by him.
The entire Island was quickly getting submerged inside the vast ocean and Anthony knew that this is the end.
……
Far away from all this, inside a Pentagon shaped building, many people in suits were watching this on a big screen with a slight fear in their eyes.
They were the Officials of Pentagon and Kremlin as this was a joint operation to take down the world’s most dangerous man.
“We should do it” Said an American with a clear terror in his eyes.
“Ye...Yeah..” Agreed a Russian woman who was representing Kremlin.
As soon as the woman agreed, they both opened a briefcase and immediately pressed a button which released a hydrogen bomb, straight from the space, towards Anthony’s Island.
“Found you” Said Anthony with a tinge of anger in his voice as he looked at his screen and saw the alliance of Pentagon and Kremlin officials after hacking their webcam.
He was sure that some countries had started to doubt the facade of a saint that he puts in front of the world while secretly manipulating many people to get what he wants.
Last time when he leaked a virus in berlin which killed almost a million people, a select few people had doubts about how he had prepared an antidote and a vaccine so quickly while many people had also went missing in the chaos which was completely ignored by almost everyone as who would care about a few thousand missing people when almost a million had died.
.[Warning….A High Energy Heat source is descending on the Island. Evacuation Recommended]
[Identifying the source….1….2….3...Identification failed]
As Anthony looked towards the screen, he immediately guessed what it was. It was Tsar Bomba, Russia’s very own Hydrogen bomb.
“So they were that scared of me? Well, at least let me take my revenge before I leave this unfulfilling life of mine.” Thought Anthony as he closed his eyes and said
“Jarvis, Initiate House Party Protocol”
[Initiating House Party Protocol….]
…………
The Earth seemed to have stopped for a second as if even the gods were shocked at what was happening.
All the satellites around the earth started to fall towards the blue planet, many missiles were launched from all the hospitals and orphanages which were run by Anthony. Some were chemical weapons and some were nuclear. Just about everything attached to his name became a tool of the Death God.
Mushroom clouds were the only thing one could see and blood curdling screams were the only thing one could hear.
The Entire planet started to fall apart and in that chaos, Anthony just closed his eyes and accepted the death without any shred of emotion.

In a Universe far far away……
...
.
Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark was sitting in an office with General Ross as he suggested some clause for the sokovia accords which would be presented to all the Avengers in a month when suddenly a blue flash of light entered his body out of nowhere and he immediately lost consciousness.
……..
After an unknown passage of time, when Tony opened his eyes again, he saw General Ross shouting his name.
“STARK!” Shouted General Ross while violently shaking him.
“Stark, What Happened?” asked General Ross as he saw Tony regaining his consciousness and dismissing the people who had just entered the room in panic.
Tony looked all around the room with a slight frown and when his eyes fell on the documentation placed in front of him, his pitch black eyes shone a little before he finally regained his composure and said
“Nothing General, The residual Plutonium in my body is acting out. But don’t worry, It’s just the after effects of the plutonium poisoning. By the way, How long was I out?”
