Chapter 8: Seaside Villa! Do you want to bomb the school?

Inside the mansion.

"Rich people really know how to enjoy life."

Soaking in the artificial hot spring, Horn felt all the pores on his body open up, and he felt incredibly relaxed. His fatigue seemed to have lessened considerably, and he exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

He probably wouldn't have been able to achieve such conditions even after decades of hard work before he transmigrated.

The bathroom containing the indoor artificial hot spring pool alone is over 100 square meters.

The entire mansion has five floors in total, with three floors above ground and two floors below ground.

Besides this bathroom, the first floor also has a luxurious kitchen and dining room, several servants' rooms, and a huge open-plan living room with a sea view. He had never seen the material of the sofa in the living room before.

Then the second floor has various collection rooms, entertainment rooms, and a gym, the third floor has a super ocean view bedroom and a large balcony, and there is also an outdoor heated swimming pool on the rooftop.

The first basement level, designed like Tony's cliffside villa in California, is a comprehensive physics laboratory and houses a super artificial intelligence on par with Jarvis, named "Tia." The second basement level is filled with luxury cars and sports cars of various brands, including new models and antique collectibles, which completely redefined his understanding of the word "luxury."

And as far as he knew, this was just the tip of the iceberg; the several mansions Tony had given him each had a unique style and unique collectibles.

For a moment, his heart almost wavered.

But what followed was even greater determination!

Be firm in your determination to change your destiny!

Only when you are strong enough can you enjoy comfort; otherwise, you might be flicked to dust by someone and not even know how you died.

He's still young and doesn't want to die young.

Moreover, in this world with extraordinary power, as long as you are strong enough, achieving immortality is not a dream!

How can we only focus on what's in front of us?

That would be far too short-sighted.

"Young master, dinner is ready for you."

Just then, the maid's voice came from outside the door, pulling him back to reality.

cuckoo-

Upon hearing that there was food, his stomach began to rumble involuntarily.

Horn then realized that he hadn't eaten a single bite of food since he transmigrated here.

The intense physical activity had already made him feel extremely hungry, but the intense fatigue made him naturally ignore it until this moment when it finally erupted.

"I see."

He agreed, got up, and went to the shower to rinse himself off.

A few minutes later, he changed into a bathrobe prepared for him by the maid and walked out of the bathroom.

Dinner was sumptuous, consisting of his favorite Chinese dishes.

Horn was not surprised by this. The identity card had incorporated his personal preferences into this identity. Otherwise, the contrast between his personality and preferences would be too great. Even if the Ancient One and the Watchers did not notice anything unusual, Pepper and Tony, who knew him best, would probably notice something was wrong.

"That's the value of an S-level reward."

Horn sighed inwardly, but didn't stop eating. After sitting down, he began to eat and drink heartily without any regard for his image.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he wiped his mouth, picked up the new cell phone that the servant had prepared for him, and headed towards the physics laboratory located on the basement level.

……

Beep beep—

After arriving at the lab, he made a phone call.

"Horn, I'm so sorry what happened to you. I'm doing everything I can to find Tony and can't protect you."

Before Horn could speak, a man's voice came through the phone.

"It's okay, Rhodes. I know you've had a tough time lately, and I didn't call you about this."

Horn knew very well how hard Rod had tried to find Tony's whereabouts, as Rod was Tony's good friend, so why would he take it to heart?

"Don't say that. I am partly responsible for your brother's disappearance."

Rod felt extremely guilty about Tony's situation. He often wondered if things would have been different if he had persuaded Tony to stay and gone back to the military base with him in the helicopter.

"Wait, you said you didn't call me to talk about this? Then what is it?"

He suddenly paused, realizing the meaning behind Horn's second half of his sentence.

"Would it be difficult to dispatch a 30-man special operations team to me?"

Horn had no intention of going to rescue Tony alone, and even if he was 70% sure, he wouldn't do it.

After all, there are too many unexpected things in this world, and he has no way of guaranteeing that similar accidents will not happen again.

He himself was fine; with his Observation Haki and the Six Powers of the Navy, he was fully confident that he could escape unscathed from a hail of bullets.

But with Tony by your side, things become much more complicated. Not only is the target bigger, but the speed is also significantly reduced.

Besides, if we can get more assistance and more insurance, why not?

"A 30-man special forces team? What are you planning? Blow up the school?"

Rhodes raised an eyebrow, completely surprised that Horn would bring up something like this. "I'm busy looking for Tony, I don't have time to mess around with you, Horn."

"I'm not joking, I'm serious."

Horn's voice was full of seriousness, with not a trace of joking.

"Wodefa!"

Rhodes was startled and frowned. "You're not really planning to blow up the school, are you? Or have you found the mastermind behind your kidnapping? Don't worry, even if your brother is missing now, I'll teach anyone who dares to bully you a lesson on Tony's behalf!"

"I appreciate your kindness, but I really need your help. So, tell me if it's difficult or not!"

Seeing that he was going further and further astray, Horn quickly pulled him back.

"It's not too difficult, the main thing is to figure out what you want to do first."

Rhodes asked the same question again.

"You probably wouldn't believe me even if I told you, but I'm going to rescue Tony myself."

Horn had nothing to hide and stated his purpose directly.

"Okay, I can believe you're going to bomb the school."

Just as Horn said, Rhodes did not believe this reason.

In his mind, Horn was still a child. A child saying he wanted to do something that even the military couldn't do was just a pipe dream, wasn't it?

"See? I told you but you didn't believe me, so just think of it as me going to bomb the school or any other reason you can accept, as long as you lend me the person."

"Horn, I know you're a good kid. You have to believe me. I will definitely bring Tony back to you safely. It's getting late, get some rest. Goodnight."

Beep beep—

Hearing the dial tone from his phone, Horn sighed. He wasn't surprised by the outcome; after all, he was old enough that even if Rod believed him, he probably wouldn't let him take the risk.

He made the call just to give it a try.

"We still need to contact them."

S.H.I.E.L.D.!

He didn't want to have too much contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. until the very last step.

But since things have come to this, the priority is to rescue Tony first; we can deal with the rest as we go.
