On New York City Brooklyn Street, a seven-story building stands tall with flashing neon lights.

The flashing light showed the Stark Industries logo.

In contrast to the strange hundred-story buildings of the 21st century, Stark Industries now is still in its infancy.

The founder is Howard; he is only thirty-seven years old this year. Recently resigned from the Academy of Sciences and started launching his own business.

This street is full of a retro atmosphere that makes it seem like Yves is walking back in time.

Even the cars on the streets are still big old school cars with box designs. There is no sleek aesthetic like the cars coming out in the future.

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Howard; please tell him that-"

Yves told his purpose to the sweet receptionist at the company's front desk.

"Okay, wait a minute. What's your name, sir?" The sweet receptionist answered enthusiastically.

"My name is Yves."

The receptionist immediately picked up the phone, calling for her Boss, Howard Stark. "Hello, Boss. There's a boy named Yves; he's the son of-"

Howard, who was busy teasing his Secretary, suddenly received a call.

The phone ringing sound immediately woke the beautiful Secretary teased by Howard; with a blush on her face, the woman ran out of the room.

"Damn it, if you don't give a reasonable explanation, I'll show you who's Boss here. I'll make you lose your job!" The distracted Howard immediately replied with a hint of anger.

"Yves? Never heard of him... Huh, let me think for a second... Wait, isn't Yves, that boy? A little scientist who likes to blow himself up?"

"Hahaha, ask him to come. I'll welcome him."

Howard seemed to still remember the news he had heard earlier. After all, he had a little trouble remembering the young man's name. If it wasn't for his father's name being mentioned, perhaps he would still not be able to recognize him.

The receptionist who served at the front desk immediately breathed a sigh of relief; luckily, she didn't get into trouble.

The receptionist knew why Howard was angry; maybe she was bothering him when the man was courting his beautiful employee.

After all, Howard's lustful personality is well known.

After hanging up the phone, the beautiful receptionist turned to Yves, "Mr. Yves, please..."

The woman immediately led the way.

Using a traditional retro elevator, Yves lifted to the top of the seventh floor. After waiting a few minutes, he finally arrived in front of the office.

The iconic mustache figure instantly appeared in front of Yves.

"Oh, young man, were you looking for me? Surprisingly, you seem fine; weirdly, the explosion one month ago didn't make you lose a limb."

"Tell me, what kind of collaborative project would you like to do with me? If you came here just to chat, then sorry, I can't accompany you."

"Genius who likes to blow things up like you is not allowed here; I'm afraid you will blow up my office too!"

Howard joked with a smile; this man does have a typical American sense of humor!

Yves, who heard that remained calm, not feeling offended in the slightest. After all, if it weren't for his father's name, he wouldn't have been able to set foot here.

Without further ado, Yves immediately took out a backpack. Right in front of Howard, Yves took out the items, after which he started assembling them.

The sound of metal interlocking made the man slightly addicted.

Curious, Howard played with his mustache while watching the boy's behavior.

A neatly installed AK-47 was placed right on the table in less than five minutes.

"Is this the weapon you want to use in this partnership?" Howard raises his eyebrow. As an engineer, he has a deep knowledge of firearms.

Seeing the structure of the assault rifle at a glance, he knew that it was pretty special. But he still didn't know how effective the weapon was.

If the strength is excellent, it is possible to take over the weapons market in this era!

"This is the AK-47 series weapon that I have designed. It is easy to assemble and quite easy to maintain. Apart from that, this weapon can adapt to unique combat environments. Be it river or desert battles. Even if immersed in river water, it still works. like normal."

"Whether you believe it or not, you can try it yourself." Yves calmly explained the new age light weapon.

Howard picked up the AK-47 and started groping it, "Follow me."

The two of them came to the shooting range on the first floor. The staff guarding the base immediately greeted their Boss.

Howard ignored them; he immediately told his assistant to get 7.62mm bullets to try this weapon.

Single shot, burst, short-range, and long-range need to be tried.

When held, this weapon feels very comfortable.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

After pulling the trigger, a bullet is fired! The accuracy is decent; even the recoil isn't too heavy!

After firing more than two hundred rounds, Howard put the AK-47 down. A glint of joy appeared in his eyes.

With this kind of weapon, he can be more confident in winning the market this season!

"That's great! Jarvis, you try that too."

Howard threw the rifle at the middle-aged man. After hearing his boss' orders, the man also started to experiment.

During the experimental activity, Yves stood to the side without saying much. He just watched quietly.

He was sure and knew that this weapon was good; at least with this, he could reach a cooperation agreement with Howard.

Moments later, Jarvis put down the rifle. "Sir, this rifle is incredibly comfortable; the shooting range is about three hundred meters; the accuracy will drop sharply beyond that distance." Jarvis gave his opinion.

"In burst mode, the recoil is smaller than other submachine guns. Other benefits need further testing."

"Alright, you can keep testing it." Howard nodded.

"Yves, I know that my nephew is a genius! Come in, come to my office; we can have a good talk about this." Howard patted Yves on the shoulder excitedly.
