Chapter 2678 Hollywood Rhapsody (Thirty-Six)
Since they were intercepting him halfway, they had to act quickly. Howard and Maria brought Stark to the orphanage in a hurry, almost unable to wait to meet this genius young man.
Stark also wanted to meet Schiller when he was a child, so he did not stay in the office with Howard to chat with the faculty and staff, but ran out early. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he ran into a little boy with a familiar face.
"Schiller!" Stark called out his name instinctively. The other party stopped and turned back. Stark saw a puzzled expression on his face.
Stark thought that perhaps the young Schiller was wondering how he knew his name, so he explained: "I have known you for a long time. The software system you created is very powerful, but it is still a little short of it."
The other party's puzzled expression became even more serious.
Stark took two steps forward, crossed his arms and said, "My parents said they want to adopt you. Do you want to come with me to meet them?"
Stark thought he didn't show any aggressive attitude and his words were just ordinary greetings, but the little boy in front of him suddenly ran away, and ran very fast.
Upon seeing this, Stark immediately chased after him, but the young Schiller ran very fast and almost instantly disappeared into the bushes.
Stark immediately realized that he was in trouble, but soon the staff of the orphanage chased him out and found that Schiller was missing, and everyone was a little panicked.
"I didn't say anything to him. I just wanted to be friends with him. I don't know why he ran away." Stark said: "I really didn't say anything."
Stark died unjustly. He knew that as the last person to see Schiller, he would definitely be considered to have said something that made Schiller run away angrily, but he really said nothing.
Wait, that's not the sentence "You did well, but you're still a little short"?
Stark slapped his head in annoyance. He had forgotten that he and Schiller were both children now. He was not a real child, but Schiller was a real child. Suddenly someone rushed out and said, "My parents want to adopt you, but you can't do as well as I do", what would a child think?
Plus, the Starks were just intercepting the family. They had already made an agreement with the Hamiltons, but suddenly they were going to be adopted by another strange couple. They should have been very scared, and when they jumped out and said this, of course there would be problems.
The Starks obviously thought so too. Maria showed a little guilt on her face. She tugged at Howard's sleeve and said, "Forget it. This is not good for the children, and it is not good for Tony and Seale."
Howard was a little confused, but Stark slammed the table and said, "Are you just going to give up like this? This won't do!"
Of course not. What if Schiller is finally adopted by the Hamiltons? Wouldn’t that mean the whole family would still be wiped out in the end?
Moreover, Stark himself knew that his parents died relatively late, at least nearly ten years later, but the Hamiltons would probably not live long. What would happen to Schiller's life if he lost his parents at such a young age?
Besides, in the Stark family, after the Stark couple died, at least he and Obadiah were still there, but what about in the Hamilton family? Schiller already had autism, and with this kind of stimulation, wouldn't he be even more hopeless?
Stark was extremely anxious, but he couldn't find a reasonable reason to ask Howard and Maria to adopt Schiller, so Howard finally gave up.
But Maria suggested, "This child is very talented. It would be a waste if he continues to be educated in an orphanage. How about this? We can give the Hamiltons some money and let them join the software development project team of Stark Industries. This way, they can provide better educational resources for little Schiller."
Howard nodded and thought that this was a solution. After all, both of them were getting busier and busier. They might not be able to take good care of another child if they brought another one back. Tony might also think that he was biased. It would be better to provide direct financial support. After all, with money, what good teacher could they not hire?
Stark gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do, after all he was just a child, and his family's lifestyle was relatively traditional, children had little say, and he was still young, so it would be useless even if he made a fuss.
Soon the deputy director of the orphanage came to apologize. She said that if the child was too resistant, there would be no way to adopt him/her, no matter how good the family conditions were or how strong the willingness was, because this was to protect the child.
The staff has found Schiller, but he expressed his unwillingness to be adopted by the Stark family. The vice president vaguely said that it might be because they were too hasty and scared the child. If they have more contact in the future, there may be a chance.
But Howard and Maria had already made up their minds, and instead contacted the Hamiltons, saying they would continue to support their adopted son until adulthood and would provide them with a stable job.
The Hamiltons had just finished their work at Hydra and had not yet found a new employer, so they readily agreed and Schiller was taken home by them.
But Stark still didn't plan to give up. He felt that as long as he was well prepared, he could at least prolong the lives of the Hamiltons so that they would not die so early. At least they had to live until Schiller came of age. Otherwise, what would happen to the inheritance?
But as the saying goes, there is always something hateful about a pitiful person. The Hamiltons are either bad people or they just don't understand worldly affairs. They are only focused on their great dream of developing artificial intelligence and cannot distinguish between good and bad people.
For the sake of profit, the Stark Group could not invest too much in such an advanced project. They felt that Howard could not tolerate them, and their work on the project team was half-hearted, which made Obadiah very dissatisfied.
Hydra was willing to provide them with help and let them conduct research under Zora's surveillance. They felt that Hydra was a good helper for them to realize their dreams. Privately, they were entangled with Hydra. The last scientist Stark saw who was seeking his own death was Reed Richards.
Stark reminded them several times through Obadiah and Howard but it was useless. Then he realized that his say was too small. Although he had shown great talent, he had not made any contribution to the family business. Not many people listened to what he said, and most people still treated him as a child.
Stark had no choice but to spend a year studying and got his degree about two years ahead of schedule. Then he began to immerse himself in the research and development of various machines, and became the backbone of Stark Industries' R&D department.
After making some contributions, he finally had some say and allocated a large amount of funds to the Hamiltons to let them do research. No matter whether they could figure out anything or not, he just wanted to keep them in the laboratory and prevent them from running out to collude with Hydra every day.
Of course Schiller also noticed the change in things. He was really confused. Why did Stark come back?
In fact, the script that Schiller had written before was successfully realized, which means that he was successfully adopted by the Hamiltons, and the Hamiltons were killed by Hydra as recorded in the timeline, and he had a smooth background story.
Affected by the butterfly effect on the timeline, Natasha in the future no longer had a blank slate when investigating Schiller's childhood, but instead figured out this story. Logically, the matter should have ended there.
But just when Natasha found out the background story of her childhood, Stark found out about it.
Or perhaps it was that the background story Schiller made up was a bit too tragic, which caused Natasha, who was in charge of the investigation, to be unable to bear it and became dissatisfied. She indirectly guided Stark to find a way to go back to the past so that the Starks could adopt Schiller.
In this case, the future will not be changed, because both the Hamiltons and the Starks will die at the hands of Hydra, so Schiller's hatred for Hydra will not change, and his future actions against Hydra will not change.
But one advantage of being adopted by the Starks is that Schiller can live an easier life. First of all, the Starks are richer, and if he is a legally registered adopted son, he can also inherit the estate, so there will be no problem in material life.
Secondly, Tony Stark is a very protective person. If they became a family, then at least during the time when the Starks passed away, the two of them could accompany each other, so Schiller's condition would not worsen and their spiritual life would be more stable.
In the end, of course, Howard and Maria were resurrected, and it was Schiller who resurrected them. It was naturally more reasonable for him to resurrect his adoptive parents as an adopted son than to resurrect his friend's parents, which made the story come full circle.
But Schiller couldn't do that, because if the story was like this, he would have to spend more time explaining why the two didn't know each other when he first met Stark.
And why Stark's adopted son insisted on leaving the family business to work at New York Presbyterian Hospital, and was eventually hired back to become Stark's psychiatrist.
Although it is also possible to make up a story about brothers who become enemies because of their different methods of revenge for their parents and finally reunite by chance, this kind of story would take four or five seasons to tell in a TV series. Schiller really doesn't have the energy to act in this way. How much is the pay for such a desperate effort???
In order to avoid the excuse that he and Stark did not know each other when they first met, Schiller avoided meeting Stark as much as possible. This could also be explained by the fact that there was a big difference in appearance between his childhood and adulthood, so he could not recognize Stark after only meeting him once.
But Stark refused to give up and never gave up. He insisted on finding a way to bring Schiller to Stark's house.
I can only say that the only friends of a stubborn person are the stubborn ones and the extremely stubborn ones. One has to make up a concise version of the background story for himself, while the other has to save the other from dire straits. One doesn't want to contact, while the other insists on contacting. The two of them have been stubborn for more than a year.
During this year or so, the two sides were busy fighting each other, but they did not realize that the Hydra that was in contact with the Hamiltons had noticed Howard Stark through Mr. Hamilton who frequently went in and out of the Stark Industries base.
