Billionaire in Kingsman with a Marvel System

"How is this possible? Are the network department people all idiots?" M muttered in disbelief. "They broke through our firewall in just a few minutes? There must be an inside man. Bill, immediately initiate the emergency action plan and find that mole."

Bill Turner hesitantly replied, "Ma'am, we've identified the problem."

M asked excitedly, "Who is it?" Finally, the cybersecurity department had proven somewhat useful by quickly finding a clue.

Bill hesitated even more, unwilling to speak. Seeing his reluctance, M asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

M knew Bill well. He was usually cautious and decisive. Seeing his troubled expression, she had a bad feeling.

After a moment of hesitation, Bill said, "Ma'am, the network department traced the problem back to your office. Your laptop must have been compromised earlier, leaving a backdoor for the intruder to exploit, allowing them to breach our firewall in minutes."

"God," M turned to stare at William, cursing internally about his terrible timing. Such a significant blunder, and William knew every detail. But this couldn't be hidden. Even if William didn't speak, the Security Committee would soon find out.

M felt powerless. "Disconnect the network. We'll discuss this back at headquarters."

"Understood." Bill immediately said into the phone, "Disconnect all networks immediately."

Once the network was disconnected, a disturbing animation appeared on Bill's laptop, showing M's head crowned and slowly transforming into a skull, followed by the message, "Remember your sins."

As the car approached the bridge near MI6 headquarters, two police cars suddenly blocked their way. Before they could exchange many words, M's office exploded, blowing half the top floor into the sky.

M felt a chill as she stared at her obliterated office, murmuring, "God." If they had been a few minutes later, she would have been blown up too.

William had no intention of going to MI6 headquarters now. It would be chaos inside, and he'd only encounter more trouble. Using the excuse of reporting to the Security Committee, he quickly left.

Back at Garris' office, William reported everything he had just learned.

Garris, already overwhelmed by the situation, just said a few kind words to William, urging him to find the mastermind quickly. Then, he hung up and went to report to Catherine Davis, the newly appointed Minister responsible for security issues.

Watching Garris hurriedly head to Catherine Davis' office, William wondered how that sharp-chinned old woman had risen so quickly to become a Cabinet Minister. 

With some free time, William decided to attend Tina's 17th birthday on the 9th. Thinking about soon becoming the owner of Aston Martin, William ordered two Aston Martin DB7s: a black one for himself and a red one for Tina.

Tina was thrilled with the matching Aston Martin DB7, clinging to William's arm all night, especially when introducing her sister, Christina Hendricks, keeping a wary eye on her Hollywood star sibling.

William was astonished by Christina's stunning figure, amazed at how his childhood friend had grown into such an alluring woman. Her chest seemed almost as large as coconuts. Before he could chat much with Christina, Tina dragged him away, and even more, she kicked him out shortly after 9 PM, not giving him a chance to get closer.

Leaving Tina's house, William regretted not getting Christina's phone number. He'd have to wait for an opportunity in Hollywood to ask her out for a workout. Driving his black Aston Martin DB7, William thought about customizing a unique version of the car once he took over Aston Martin.

Thinking about the classic supercars from his previous life, like the Aston Martin One-77, Porsche 918, Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, Koenigsegg Agera, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari LaFerrari, and Ferrari FXX, William felt thrilled. Even if Aston Martin's current technology couldn't match these supercars' specs, he could at least secure their designs. With his financial backing, he believed he could produce handcrafted prototypes. Over the next few years, he could release concept cars annually, gauging market reactions and building up Aston Martin's technical expertise before deciding which models to mass-produce, aiming for a new supercar every two years.

Once enough experience was accumulated, he'd create a secondary brand to differentiate the supercars from regular vehicles and capture the broader automotive market. However, William was troubled by the high labor costs in England. While supercar prices could justify manual craftsmanship, regular vehicles couldn't bear such costs. Cost control was crucial for profit.

Moreover, to capture the automotive market, especially in the East, Aston Martin needed to actively enter that market within the next couple of years. Delaying would make it difficult to establish a foothold, with other supercars likely having already dominated the market.

If his plans succeeded, William was even willing to move the assembly line for regular models to the East, keeping England focused on handcrafted supercars and research. Local production would significantly reduce labor, material, and transportation costs. Yet, he hesitated, unsure if this idea was feasible.

If not, he'd have to rely heavily on intelligent production lines. Given the current state of the automotive industry, widespread use of intelligent production was inevitable. Robots would handle assembly, welding, painting, transportation, and quality inspection, tasks requiring high precision. 

While the initial investment was significant, machines could operate 24/7, far outpacing human efficiency and lasting many years. Machines also didn't demand higher wages or engage in labor disputes, unlike England's troublesome unions prone to strikes and protests.

Considering this, William thought about developing artificial intelligence to oversee production, saving him effort and costs. He had extensive knowledge of AI but worried about creating something like Ultron, which would bring him enormous trouble.
