"I am serious. The military rejected our missile for the Hammer's Beehive missile." Stane stated.

"Yeah now I definitely know you are smoking some serious shit, or this country is going bankrupt and has no money left if they picked Hammer," Tony stated.

Obadiah looked around in frustration before closing the door to Tony's room so the model would not hear them speak.

"Tony I am being serious here. The United States Armed Force rejected our proposal since they received a better missile than our A-17 missile. The board of directors are worried about what the public will think when they find a defective company such as Hammer made a better product than Stark.

Some of them think that you presented a defective product to the USAF." Obadiah explained.

"Shit of the Smoking Weed you are being serious." Tony was serious as Stane quickly explained the situation to him before leaving.

"How the hell did they make something?" Tony shouted in wonder.

"I don't know Tony and I don't need to know. I need you to quickly make something soon to shut those assholes in the board of directors, otherwise, it is going to be a real hassle to deal with them." Stane advised before leaving.

"Jarvis are there any photos or videos of the Beehive being tested?" Tony asked his personal A.I.

"Affirmative Sir," Jarvis stated as he retrieved the files for the Beehive.

Tony watched a few of the videos and photos of the Beehive.

"To think that cry-baby can think for himself for once," Tony smirked at this as he closed all the files and walked back to the hot chick he had picked up for today.

"Sorry for the wait babe had something crop up. Now, what do you say we carry from where we left off?" Tony asked the woman who looked very eager.

"Just hurry up you mad beast!" The woman shouted excitedly as she pulled off her the cover to reveal her ravishing body.

"This is all for sale today!" The woman shouted eagerly as she closed her eyes with arms outstretched.

However, she got no response.

She looked towards Tony's side to see he was not there anymore.

"Fuck this." The woman said as she got dressed and left the room to see Tony messing with his Tech.

"Sorry babe, I am busy." He shouted while pointing towards the door.

"Fuck you, Tony!" The woman shouted as she left in anger.

"Jarvis did you get it," Tony asked eagerly.

"Affirmative Sir. Hammer left a review on this person's page." Before Tony was the very page of a certain consultant.

"A consultant that managed to get Hammer to review him just 2 days before they beat my contract. No way is it a coincidence. Jarvis! Check the authenticity of all the reviews on this person." Tony ordered.

"Done sir. All reviews are authentic. I have even personally checked the defence this person has set up on all their company and seen it is very effective." Jarvis replied after a moment.

"Tell him to meet me tomorrow at 1 pm at my office. Also, get everything there is about him." Tony ordered.

--------------------------------

I was putting everything on hold as I was building a project I will soon need.

*Ping* Hearing the noise I turned towards the laptop I had kept open to see another e-mail. This time it was not from a bogus company asking for penetrating test but a pop up from Stark Industries.

I smiled at this.

Suddenly I stood still. The knowledge to get an extremely stable Extremis without losing any of its power entered my head. In fact, this Extremis was much stronger and powerful without showing any of its normal weakness and allowed to make me certain modifications.

*Ping* Another notification popped up on the tracking software I created hacking onto the CCTV, Satellites, news reports, online rumours, information networks etc of the whole world to find someone I needed.

"Surprises just keeps coming my way today," I said in joy while fully aware that a certain one-eyed owl, a few snakes and some government agencies might be looking for me as well due to the missile I made for Hammer.

I was having an existential crisis now. Being the most knowledgeable person in the world along with having rooted potato do everything for me made me so bored now. Most of the major events do not start until a few years later and till then I am stuck doing nothing.

I had no intention of being your friendly neighbourhood potato.

I was not here to help every old lady cross the street or save every woman from robbery. I am here to take advantage of every resource others have ignored. I got better things to do with my life than waste my time doing those petty things like stopping small-time crime lords etc.

Hence the reason I don't want to become a vigilante/ hero but do something similar in order to get rid of my boredom.

This was the reason why I decided to start my consultancy. Appear as a mysterious businessman/ mercenary/consultant who will do anything for money.

As soon as I was done with making the beehive including Hammer, government agencies, international agency, ancient organisations in the world set a goose hunt for me. This became a thrill on its own.

Right now, I absolutely enjoyed playing with them as they sent traps and used their everything to find me but got no results. This got rid of the boredom I was feeling.

Sure, I could also try to stop them using my gift and do everything myself but why would I. My lazy nature prevented me from not using it. Each time I decided not to use it, I would think just this one more time.

I mean it was funny when Hydra sent an e-mail under the guise of a private company asking if I could check their online defence. What did I do in response?

Send them a potato gif. It was funny watching the agents assigned to track me looking like lost ducks.

I threw the fake degree certificate in the fireplace. I was not going to need that anymore.

Having close to all the knowledge and understanding of the world enabled me to do anything I wanted. Fake degree, easy.

Watermark unique to a university certificate? Easy to replicate.

Make a nano mask? Effortless.

Make a perfect Extremis serum? Eas… actually that part was done by my ability.

I quickly went online to book a flight ticket for tomorrow.

'Start trying to find a way to reverse the effects of Extremis fully from someone.' I ordered my ability.

I wasn't going to inject Extremis in myself without having a way to remove it.

Every genetically engineered virus should have an antidote, otherwise, it will be disastrous when the virus gets out of control.

"Jarvis is it?" I said with a smile as I typed something onto my keyboard before going to sleep.

I woke up the next day and got changed and got my required kit before making my way towards Stark industries.

I walked towards the reception. "I have a meeting with Mr Stark at 1 pm," I told her.

"You name?" She asked me.

"Tell him 'Jack of All Trades' is here. He would know." I told her and waited as she nodded to inform Tony.

A few minutes later Pepper Potts- Tony's assistant/ only friend came to me.

"Hi, are you from 'Jack of All Trades' consultancy?" She asked me.

"Yes," I told her.

"Nice to meet you. I am Pepper." She extended her hand.

"You can call me Dave, although you should know that by now." I smiled towards her.

She seemed confused by that. "Ah looks like Mr Stark didn't tell you. I am sure Mr Stark would understand it." I told her as I motioned her to lead me.

"So, Mr Dave what have you been doing the past few days? We saw your job was posted as a consultant and saw that even Hammer indus…"

I interrupted her trying to divulge secret from me. "Yes, I made the Beehive for them and sold it for $50 million and for a review on my website. How else do you think a shitty company like Hammer could make such a beauty like the Beehive?" Pepper remained silent at hearing my rhetorical question.

"Is Mr Stark listening to this?" I asked her in the lift which kind of surprised her but she soon hid that.

"What are you talki…" Pepper tried to act but I didn't work.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Stark. Although I would have liked our first meeting not to be in a lift. So cut the call and we will talk when I reach your room." I spoke to Pepper fully aware Tony was listening in on the conversation.

Peppers face turned red after a while and we both stayed silent as she guided me to Tony's office quietly.
