21.97% Marvel: Incursio / Chapter 19: Sanctum

Chương 19: Sanctum

Switching off the TV in the dining room, Liam headed back to his room. After flicking on the lights, he grabbed Incursio and sat down on the floor. He summoned the armor and carefully examined every small detail. As the armor encased him, Liam closed his eyes and calmed his breathing, feeling the raw energy from Incursio flow through him. For now, though, the energy seemed limited to just enhancing his physical abilities and powering up Neontote.

'Tatsumi only unlocked invisibility after evolving Incursio in his fight against The Stylish,' Liam thought. 'But how am I supposed to evolve it?'

Tatsumi had gained more power by absorbing energy from strong opponents. Would the same be true for him? He wasn't sure.

 After five minutes, the armor vanished, leaving him back in his regular clothes. Liam remained seated, deep in thought. 'Maybe I should visit the Sanctum to learn more about controlling energy,' he mused. 'If I can manipulate the energy from Incursio, I could possibly apply that energy to magic as well.'

With no clear answers on how long it would take to evolve Incursio or extend its duration, Liam decided the best course of action was to keep training his body and to start learning new skills. He began his usual exercise routine, losing himself in the training, until his grandfather's voice interrupted.

"Liam! Dinner's ready!" Harold called from downstairs.

Liam quickly cleaned up and headed to the kitchen. Harold greeted him with a warm smile. "You slept in late today. Haven't seen you take a break like that in years," he chuckled. "But I made your favorite tonight, so sit down and enjoy."

"Thanks, Grandpa. I really appreciate it," Liam said with a smile as he took a seat.

As they ate, Harold glanced at him, a teasing glint appearing in his eyes. "So, what's new with you? Anything exciting I should know about? Maybe a girlfriend? Or some new friends?"

Liam chuckled. "No, nothing like that. Though I've been thinking about going on another trip."

Harold's smile faltered a bit. "Another trip? Where to this time?"

"I'm staying nearby—just towards the other side of New York. I'll be away for a bit, but I'll come back to visit often," Liam explained.

Harold sighed, clearly relieved. "Well, at least you're staying close this time."

"Still, be careful, Liam," Harold warned, his tone growing more serious. "I saw on the news this morning that Tony Stark was kidnapped. If someone as powerful as Stark can be kidnapped, you can guess what happens to you if you encounter the wrong people.''

"I know, Grandpa," Liam said, nodding reassured him. "But don't worry, I can handle myself."

As they finished dinner, Liam's mind drifted back to Stark Industries. 'Maybe I should invest in Stark Industries before everything takes off,' he thought, already forming a plan.

"Thanks for dinner, Grandpa. I'm heading back upstairs. Let me know if you need anything," Liam said, standing up.

Back in his room, Liam resumed training with Incursio, focusing on pushing his limits within the five-minute window. After a round of summoning and releasing the armor, he took a break and started researching the location of the New York Sanctum. But his search wasn't limited to just magic—he also began investigating where to borrow money to invest in Stark Industries.

As he was deep in thought, Harold unexpectedly entered his room.

"Liam, what are you doing?" his grandfather asked, noticing the computer screen.

Startled, Liam quickly turned around. "Uh, nothing, Grandpa," he said, trying to sound casual.

Harold walked over and glanced at the screen. "If you need money, you don't have to borrow from a bank. You know, your mother set aside a college fund for you. You could use that."

Liam blinked in surprise. "I have a college fund?" This was the first time he had heard about it.

"Yes," Harold said softly. "Your mother saved up a little before she passed. It's been sitting there untouched. I originally planned to keep it for you in case you wanted to go back to school, but if you've found something else that makes you happy, then go ahead and use it."

Liam sat back, processing the information. "Thanks, Grandpa. I'll be careful and won't do anything reckless with it."

Harold smiled, patting Liam's shoulder gently. "I trust you to make good decisions." With that, Harold left the room.

Liam leaned back, thinking about the college fund. 'Looks like I need to make a trip to the bank tomorrow to get access to that money.'

'It doesn't matter how much is in there—whatever it is, I'll invest all of it in Stark Industries while Tony is still missing. Once he's back, I'll sell everything and make a huge profit. Then, after he announces the closure of the weapons division, I'll reinvest it all and wait for the famous 'I am Iron Man' to make more money.'

With that money, Grandpa could live a luxurious life. That would make me happy.

'It's decided,' Liam thought as he stretched and got ready for bed. 'Tomorrow morning, I'll stop by the bank first before heading to the New York Sanctum.'

Feeling more determined, Liam lay down and let sleep take over, easing away the last bit of exhaustion from the day.

A bit of a smaller chapter today but don't worry we will soon get into the actual fun. I hope everyone keeps on enjoying the fanfic, thanks for all the support and feedback that's been given to me:).

Chương 20: Stocks and Final Week

The next morning, Liam set out for the bank. His grandfather had given him access to the college fund, and now all that remained was the identification process. Once he verified his identity, the money would be transferred to his account.

After a few minutes of walking, Liam arrived at the nearest bank. The inside was quiet, with only a few customers scattered around. He approached the counter where a middle-aged bank employee greeted him with a professional smile.

"Good morning, how can I help you today?" the employee asked.

"Morning," Liam responded. "I'm here to access a fund that was set aside for me. My grandfather already arranged it, so I just need to confirm my identity."

The employee nodded and quickly pulled up the account on the screen. "Certainly. I'll just need to see some identification, please."

Liam handed over his ID and waited patiently.

After a brief moment, the employee thanked someone over the phone, which reassured Liam that everything was proceeding smoothly.

"Thank you for your patience, Mr. Blackthorne," the employee said after confirming his details. "The account holds €50,000, and I'll initiate the transfer to your card now. It should be added to your account by the end of the day."

Liam nodded. "Sounds good, thanks."

The employee tapped a few keys on the computer. "All set. You'll receive a confirmation message shortly once it's fully processed. If you need anything else, feel free to come back."

Liam smiled. "Appreciate the help."

With the transaction complete, Liam left the bank and headed toward the nearby train station. He took the next available train heading to the Houston St. metro station. Sitting by the window, he watched the city pass by, his thoughts shifting to his next destination—the Sanctum.

'If the Ancient One allows me to train there, I can improve my abilities immensely,' he thought. He knew he wouldn't enter today. That wasn't the plan. 'I want to spend at least a bit more time with Grandpa before asking.'

After arriving at his stop, Liam stepped off the train and began the short walk to the Sanctum. As he neared Bleecker Street, he spotted what was supposed to be the Sanctum. The building was hidden in plain sight, and if he hadn't known about it, he would've just walked past, assuming it was an ordinary structure.

Liam paused, taking in the sight of the inconspicuous building. He stood there for a few moments, thinking over the decision he had made. But today wasn't the day for that. Turning around, he began making his way back home.

Back at home, Liam found his grandfather in the living room, reading a book. Harold looked up when Liam entered. "Back so soon?"

"Yeah, I just needed to handle some things at the bank," Liam replied, sitting down across from him. "The money should be transferred soon. Then, after that, in a week or so, I'm planning to go to the other side of New York."

Harold raised an eyebrow, surprised. "You're leaving that soon?"

"Yes, sorry Grandpa. I wish I could stay longer, but my gut is telling me to go," Liam said, feeling a tinge of sadness.

"It's alright. Let's make this a good week, then," his grandfather said with a soft smile.

That night, after dinner, Liam sat down with his laptop, ready to make his investment. As soon as the funds were available, he invested everything into Stark Industries, purchasing shares at a time when prices were still relatively low. He couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement as he confirmed the transaction.

'When Tony Stark returns, the stock will skyrocket,' Liam thought. 'And once he announces the closure of the weapons division, the price will drop again, so I have to sell before that.'

'In other words, I need to sell the stock the minute the first live news appears about Stark's return—that's when the return is highest.' Liam continued thinking, 'It's quite the risk. If the news is delayed or I find out too late, I'll miss the opportunity to sell for profit. Then, I'll have to wait for the second chance.'

It was a short-term strategy, but Liam was patient and willing to take the risk.

The rest of the week passed peacefully. Liam spent most of his time with Harold, helping out around the house and enjoying his grandfather's company. They shared quiet meals together, joked around, and played board games. While it was simple, it was beautiful.

It was a rare change of pace for Liam, allowing him to simply be with his family. Compared to the past few years, where his mind was constantly on training, he could truly enjoy the moment and relax.

'There's only one more day left, then I'll go to the Sanctum. If the Ancient One doesn't accept me, I could try to find K'un-Lun, but I don't know much about it.'

'Anyway, let's make the best of this last day and see where things go.'
