LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Time for Pain I guess
Ajentt just smiles as he gets direct on why he approached her.
"I need more money, there is a stock I wish to invest that is guaranteed to give a return. So I'm here to ask if I can borrow some more?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You want to borrow from us? Was several millions not enough? Do you have insider information that guarantees a return on your investment?" Fox questions on why Ajentt would borrow more when he had several millions deposited on his account.
"You know very well my history and profession. There is no need to test me like this, I have predicted a market trend that would surely give an investment of more than 500% in a few years and another that could potentially reach an investment of over 500,000%!" Ajentt said to Fox in full confidence, knowing the rise of Stark once the people know he was Iron Man and the potential of the Marvel Coin Universe that is like Bitcoin in his original world.
"By that much?" Fox is skeptical about his predictions, such predictions would be kept by powerful people if it were true and would only publicize it for their own benefit. "Where is the proof of your claim? Your predictions are quite exaggerated."
"I can't really tell it to anyone, or else someone else might take a cut of the pie too, just trust me and loan me some money." Fox is still skeptical, but since he was an accountant and she has no idea about such things, she decides to just call Sloan and let him handle the matter.
After explaining to Sloan about the situation, she gaved the phone to Ajentt. "How much do you need?"
"How much can you give?" Silence took over as Sloan pondered the question, "$5,000,000, is that enough?"
Ajentt just twitched his eyebrows from the low amount, "Come on now, I got a full proof investment that would multiply the money at minimum of 500%! Surely you can give me more than that." He bargains for more.
"I could give you however much you want, but the price will be hefty. If I were to let you borrow more, then you have to do as we say until the debt is paid." Sloan warns through the phone.
"No worries, no worries, it's a guaranteed investment. I'll do as you say and do what the Fraternity needs of me, so how much can I borrow from you." Ajentt presses on with full confidence, knowing it won't be long before the Fraternity is destroyed anyway.
As Sloan pondered the amount with the money he could make from the jobs he would give him and for how long, and if he were telling the truth or that he miscalculated and lost it all, he began to voice out. "$60,000,000 then, I hope what you say is true, or else, you would have a very grave future." Sloan Warns with a sinister tone to get his message across.
Ajentt grins and reassures the man. "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll work like a slave if It ever comes to that. So when will I get it?"
"It should be in your bank account now. When will I expect to see you?"
"Just give me a week, I just have to handle a few loose ends, then we can start the training arc."
Sloan knits his brows but just sighs and acknowledges to just wait, with that man hunting the members of the Fraternity, he just has to tell them all to lay low for a while and avoid more casualties. "Very well, I expect to see you in a week."
The call ends and Ajentt has a happy grin on his face with the massive amount of money he just gained, goes to show how much they value him with his father on the loose and killing left and right.
Giving the phone back to Fox, he gaved his thanks as he made his way to a Stock Exchange to transfer the new money in the bank. In the future, he could invest in computers to mine MCU or buy them when it becomes available in the stock market in a couple years.
~Early the next morning
Ajentt could be seen getting out of bed, renting a hotel room overnight to stay in until everything gets sorted out for him to start joining the Fraternity. Turning on the television, he could see Stark coming in with a hamburger so casually, he gaved the news that he will no longer sell any more firearms, it caused a massive outrage among the crowd, as Stark's Stock prices should have begun it's rapid descent.
'The chaos finally begin's and in a few days, Iron Man would be born along with the death of Obadiah and Stark revealing himself as Iron Man to the world.
With a few days to kill, I better start prepping myself for the torture the Fraternity will put me through as their so called training.'
With his mind set straight, and just waiting for the moment to invest all his money to the stock market, he starts his training montage, trying to harden his will and build some pain tolerance as well as reaction training.
~A week later
A physical copy of Stark Industries Stock safely stashed away and primed for assassination training.
"Are you sure you're ready? You know that what they will do to you is pure torture right?" Cortana asks with amusement.
"It's not like I got a choice, I already borrowed money from them and this training will be necessary for my future. What's comin' will come, an' we'll meet it when it does." He says so gearing himself up.
After checking out of the hotel room, he carried his only suitcase to the parking lot and put it in the trunk of his Chevrolet Camaro SS.Looking somewhere far away, he waved his hand as if he was saying goodbye to someone before entering the car and driving away.
~At Textile Mill No. 17
Reaching his destination, the front gate of the Mill opened and out came Fox, motioning him to where he could park his car. "Has everything been settled?"
Ajentt gaved a smile as he came out of the car and walked towards her. "Yes, if I live through this, then I'm a future Billionaire, If I die? C'est la vie."
Fox just hums at his answer before telling him to follow.
Making his way inside and up in the office, everything was still the same as he last saw it, with Sloan sitting in front of him with a cup of coffee.
"Are you ready?" Sloan simply asked.
"Yes" He answers back with confidence.
"Then we better hurry, the more time we waste, the more of our men get killed by that man. Don't blame us for how we will be treating you, it's for your own good, and the fastest way to train you." Sloan just grinds at Ajentt as Fox led him away to meet his trainer.
Following Fox, he steels himself for what's about to come, if he remembers it right, a major beating is about to await as well as cuts and pain, lots and lots of pain, the only thing his grateful for is that they have a magical healing bath that works almost like a healing pod with senzu bean.
Reaching their destination, there is a man waiting for him. "This is the Repairman, just do as he says." Fox says before leaving them alone.
The Repairman tells him to sit on the chair as he gets tied up. Ajentt can't help but quip to ease his tension. "What's with the bondage play?"
The Repairman just narrows his eyes at him as he replies. "I'm the Repairman, and it seems like I got a lot of things to repair."
Without warning, a strong punch was sent his way, even though he expected to get beaten up for this training, the punch still stings and leaves him quite dizzy. He powers through as he receives more beatings before blacking out.
The next moment that he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by meat carcasses on hooks, standing up with all his will, he sees a fat man with a knife, he was in the Butcher's territory.
