Chapter 16

It's been six weeks since I got the Kingpin fortune, and everything is going great. We invested around forty millions dollars to hire more than two hundred people, get equipment and logistic for the company, get a production and assembly line to make our products, and get the necessary material for our products and researches along with others little things.

I change the name of the company from Confederated Global Investments to Kang Enterprise. Narcissist I know but everybody name their company after their name in the comics, why not me?

We already made ten millions back from Great Britain commission for the wind turbine, we focused on this contract first since they wanted it shortly and the order wasn't that big anyways, so we could get it done quite quickly.

As for the much bigger order made by Qatar, we already shipped a quarter of the total number of solar panel they demanded. After testing and appraising the quality of the panel, they increased their order by another thirty millions dollars and making the total amount of the contract a hundred and ten millions. That's a huge order and compared to the wind turbine, one solar panel cost much less. So for a hundred millions dollars order, we'll have to make more than a hundred thousand panels before we complete the order, and from our speed it'll take another three months before we complete it, unless we increase our production by building another factory.

We received another command during that time, a small order from a Japanese energy company totaling around five millions or so and they only came to order from us because of Elizabeth knew one of their executive. The lack of orders came from the fact that we just started and few people know of us, or they just wanted to wait and see the performance result. There's also the fact that there are better and more cost efficiency to generate power and that in 2008 people aren't crazy about clean energy yet or global warming.

I don't think this universe will ever have a problem with global warming due to the genius inhabiting this planet.

Our smartphone business is going forward smoothly. Elizabeth hired the necessary people for the sales and advertisement team to handle spreading our product name in the populace while people in the programming team took care of the servers and trying to come up with new application for our product lunch, which is in two weeks.

Quite a bit of money was spent on advertising our phone, Noble, in media. We could see it on TV, magazine or internet. From what I read, a lot of people were quite enthusiastic about it.

The lawyers took care of the legal problem we might encounters with the artist for music streaming app Yung, Vanessa was the one who name it and Elizabeth agreed. The messenger app was named GoChat, simple like the app.

Those aren't the only application that we're going make. I remembered that the top most popular apps are mainly streaming ones and what's the point of making a phone that can watch movie if there is no app for that. There's where Netflix come in.

Elizabeth negotiated with them to cooperate and bring them into the smartphone business by making an app for Netflix where people can see their catalogue of movie and TV series.

I don't know if they were looking down on profit from a smartphone but my CEO came back with what I think are very good condition. Six years of exclusivity of use for application store only, we named ours MarvelStore because I couldn't help but put the name marvel in one of my company product. On top of the exclusive contract, Kang enterprise will get 30% of the profit generated by the app and they won't have to do a thing since our company will create the app and take care of everything that comes with it, which is quite easily done.

Everything was mostly done and ready for the launch of Noble, and since we don't own our shop for obvious reasons it will be sold via other retail store. The company made one hundred thousand phones in preparation for the launching day. We should get around five to six hundred dollars in profit for every phone we sell.

You may ask how in six weeks we were able to achieve so much already. I learned that when you give enough money people tend to work faster.

I already had two warehouses that I transformed into production and assembly factory and I bought another four to make it six. Installing the facilities and equipment took only a week thanks to SEVEN mechanics hands who worked day and night along with others engineers. The engineer who saw SEVEN at was impressed and curious, some half lie half-truth was enough to satisfy their curiosity.

All the warehouses are mostly all mechanized except a few things that needed a human touch. Actually we didn't need any human worker since SEVEN could take care of it all, but I think it'll be better to give people some easy work in the factory to avoid future trouble such as people visiting the factory and find it weird to end up attracting attention on us.

The factories were designed by SEVEN and mostly controlled by her multiplying the efficiency by many fold and that is how we were able to do so much in so little time.

Elizabeth did an amazing job from the start, and took her work like a fish in water. She is working so hard, that I started to feel bad for slacking around and pushing all the work to her. So I tried to relieve some of the work from her, such as hiring people.

Hiring people was quite easy, have SEVEN look at their background, ask them with question made by SEVEN, and have SEVEN analyze the answer then decide to hire them or not. That's right, even when I work I laze around and leave most of the work to other people.

During the hiring process, I noticed something. Since I did all the hiring I have an idea of the quality of staff and hindsight I shouldn't have dedicated ten floors to R&D. The qualities of recruits in that department are not great, and I should have expected it. Our budget is limited for that department is limited for now and we're relatively new compared to other big name like Horizon labs, Oscorp, Stark industry or many others and all of them are in New York.

Not that I expected much from them at the start. They're going to try to develop better application on the phone and better smartphone. No need to be a genius for that, especially when SEVEN is going to give them hints to help them around.

There was someone weird who I hired, Amara Perera, a twenty two years old young college graduate who came to be an engineer. Her resume was excellent, she graduated on top of her class but it was for biophysics. I suspected her to be a spy but it didn't make sense and SEVEN couldn't find anything that might point to her being a spy.

I asked her, during the interview, why she chose Kang enterprise and apply for a post of an engineer when she is a biophysics graduate.

She told me that at first she wanted to work for Horizon labs but changed her mind and thought that working for a small or new company will allow her more opportunities and freedom in her work and only applied for an engineer post because there wasn't one for her specialty but assured me she is quite knowledgeable about engineering and will do what is asked of her diligently. The Sri Lankan woman also asked if she could use the labs during her free time for her personal projects.

As I mentioned earlier, I agreed and ended up hiring her but I told SEVEN to keep an eye on her. The fact that she's pretty good looking influenced greatly in my decision.

Standing at 5'6 with long black hairs reaching just slightly lower that her shoulder, big brown nearly black eyes, angular face and full plump lips with a beautiful caramel skin. She is wearing most of the time baggy and rather conservative clothes but from what I could glean, she is quite slime with curves where she need it.

I had planned to seduce her but when I rolled the dice, I got nothing, and that was my entire plan right there depending on the dice roll. Well, I could always try to seduce her normally but that takes time, effort and compatibility, something I suck at. I could ask Vanessa for help but I'm not sure how you're supposed to ask your current girlfriend to help you seduce another woman without making it awkward. So I put the plan to get her into my personal harem at the back of my mind.

Leland Owsley who couldn't keep himself from trying to convince me to continue the business in crime was quick the shut up when the money started to flow in, but he was still a bit passive aggressive about the situation. I had a mind of firing him and hire our own accountant however Elizabeth convinced me not to because it may be cheaper to hire our own accountant but they will be less competent. In the end I kept his firm as our accountant, but at the first sign of betrayal Vanessa will give him a visit.

Benjamin Donovan and his firm has been nothing but impeccable and professional. They did their job well whatever it was, and I have nothing bad to say on them.

Robert Sullivan and his men has been nothing but overpaid guards. It's alright though, because I have plans for them to become my elite squad that will do whatever I need them to do. I asked him to keep his men well trained and I even made SEVEN give them some nice suit, not some iron man type but just bullet proof ones that cover the entire body. I will inject them with super soldier serum and extremis when SEVEN get them working.

While we're on the subject of SEVEN, his progresses on the multiple projects are going well.

She's working on her own version of super soldier serum, the AI succeeded in created a serum that make someone at the absolute peak of human body but still nowhere as good as Captain America. She still need to test and search more before coming with something better.

Extremis serum is near completion, SEVEN is still working on the side effect and weakness of the serum. She is also trying to see if she could make it even better than I actually is. I'm not too sure how to feel about extremis, it looked hella strong in the movie but I'm not sure that I want to be on fire all the time.

I also asked her if she could create a serum that could make someone age slower or outright stop it and a serum that might give somebody youth back. This thing can sell for a fortune.

The Cradle from Helen Cho has been put to the shelve for the time being, SEVEN ran the simulation and from what she told me the body made from this won't be good enough, so she is trying come up with her own way to make a body made of flesh. I could have told her that vibranium could be used to make a body but all the vibranium are in Wakanda and we sure as hell don't have the mean to steal it from them.

SEVEN is also working on a new form of energy, a little bit like the arc reactor. But nobody will hear me say that again, the AI went what I believe a rant when I said that and tried to explain to me how different and better she's would be compared to the Stark's.

As for the sentinel project, the first of its kind is actually being built on the floor below, he is named Sentinel PT-1. SEVEN told me the details but since it was too technical for me I zoned out. I only got the gist of it. It made of different metal such as titanium, tungsten, steel and osmium. It could potential life around ten tons and could fly at the cruising speed of Mach 1.

He could shoot different type of energy blast from the chest and hands, such as plasma, electrons, stun beams and heat. There are machine guns around their wrist and some small missile in their shoulder pad. They could also detect mutant in the nearby surrounding area, SEVEN kept this implement in the design. He shares the same witness as TR-1 which the lack of an independent energy source and need to be charged, but since the battery on the PT-1 is much better, it only needs to be charged every three days.

The sentinel is directly controlled by her but SEVEN also personally created an AI for it that can be activated when she doesn't want to control it. The AI is rather complex and simple in the same time, the AI is programmed to listen to my every word and protect me from harm, other than that he won't do anything else until ordered to.

From what I saw from the picture SEVEN showed me, the robot has a humanoid form and much better to look at than the TR-1. SEVEN let met color the android, so I decided on a mix of onyx black, marble white and gold tint yellow. The first sentinel also has eyes similar to Optimus Prime that can shoot lasers and has two rail cannon hidden inside his back.

If what I hear from SEVEN is to be believed, then this robot should be more powerful than the first few iron man suit and much more deadly but it still need two more weeks before it's done.

SEVEN also has multiple other small projects going on, she is using all the labs equipment and the super computers at her disposition to its full extend.

"Kenan, stop daydreaming." A voice pulled me out of thought.

It was Vanessa the blue skinned mutant beauty. She tied her hair in a ponytail and was a sports bra along with sport leggings that accentuated her sexy body.

She was standing in front of me in a combat stance with her MMA gloves around her hands.

One day Vanessa had the bright idea to train me how to fight. I didn't want to at first but she said it might be of use one day and she's going to fuck my brain out if I ever land a clean hit on her head or torso. It's been five weeks since we started that and I found out I have zero talent in martial arts, because she still didn't fuck my brain out.

It's not like we never had sex during these six weeks, but only once every three days. Enough for me to level up at least once and I put the point in charm this time. At least Vanessa is wild when she gets in the mood, I learned that she liked to take control during sex and be on top however I also found out that she doesn't like any form spanking or dirty talk.

Kenan Kang

LVL 8

XP: 520/800

Charm: 1

Sexual Prowess: 10

Point: 0

I kind of want to get another woman but have no idea how to do it.

"Come on now, try your best." Vanessa instructed and getting rid of my sexual thought.

Like every sparing we had, I started by throwing couple weak jabs to test the water, and as usual she either dodged or parried it away. I change the rhythm abruptly and sent a left kick at her midriff with all my strength, only to be casually grabbed and blocked by her. Vanessa mutation can give her as much strength as a top human male athlete.

"You're too obvious Kenan. I can see you trying to kick with your left leg before it even left the ground." Vanessa said before releasing my leg and pushed me off.

After the first spare, Vanessa knew I couldn't deal with pain very well, so she only push and slap during the sparing and never tried hit that might hurt me too much.

"Some people just aren't meant to be good at combat." I replied, renewing the assault on her, but I already gave up on getting a clean hit on her. I'm just going through with the motion and try to satisfy her needs of exercise.

"Most girls like men who can themselves." Whenever Vanessa sees that I'm not trying hard anymore, she starts to encourage me by talking about how to get girls, not that it ever worked.

"You love me though." I replied as I did a low kick.

Vanessa jumped up and pushed me away before responding. "I'm not like most girls. I particularly like cute little puppy."

Personally I take being called a cute little puppy as a compliment. And I guess she succeeded in motivating me because I was starting to take the sparring more seriously even though I knew I was never going to be able to hit her.

After a while, I was lying on the ground breathless and tired. Whenever I was in that state I start to ramble like a drunkard.

"Shit… you'll see, one day I'll get you. I'll become the greatest harem king ever. Even Issei Hyoudou won't be able to hold a candle to me."

"You're so cute when you start rambling about incomprehensive things." Vanessa said as she was pinching my cheeks. "Go take a shower Kenan, you stink." She said before kissing me light on my mouth.

After a much needed shower and rest, I sat in front my computer. Vanessa was close by playing in her own PC at World of Warcraft, a game that I started to play again when I came to this dimension after dropping it for many years back in original one. I introduced the game world to her and she was reluctantly at first but after much convincing and not enough good movies to watch, she relented.

It just so happens that she is more talented than I am in gaming. Feels bad man.

While she's playing her night elf assassin, I'm trying to find all the things that weren't mentioned in the movies that I saw and changed compared to the MCU. Things like mutants, Oscorp or Lateveria weren't mentioned. Some other things were changed like Tony Stark that looked ten years younger than in the movies. Well actually not much has really changed from the movies. It's just that there's much more things or characters compared on what was shown on the movies.

My knowledge of marvel outside of the movies is limited, so who knows what kind of heroes and villains there are in this universe.

I'm pretty sure that Latveria and its ruler Victor von Doom are going to try to conquer the world one day. From what I heard back at my universe, this guy can be the same level of threat as the mad titan.

Well, personally I think Thanos is more threatening and scarier but there's still ten years until he comes and I plan to steal at least a majority of the stones before he could do shit. So I'm not particularly worried about him. Actually I might be a little bit but I try to not think about it too much or I won't be able to sleep and enjoy life.

What spurred me to look for what changed was meeting the Storm siblings in the mall while I was shopping with Vanessa.
