Chapter 75 Invitation

In response to Jarvis's question, Tony Stark said, "Value Line Corporation? Where did that come from? Why should I accept their invitation?"

"It's a company owned by Wilson Grant Fisker, who is running for mayor of New York City. According to the investigation, he is the head of the biggest mob in the entire United States," Jarvis said.

"Oh, okay, a mob boss, so what does that have to do with me? Does that mean our company's arms business is open to them too?" Stark asked suspiciously.

Jarvis said in a steady voice, "No, according to the invitation, just like Columbus discovered the New World, their company has discovered the secret to immortality within the human body."

"And at tomorrow's press conference, he will randomly select a lucky person and share the secret to longevity with him for free."

"Not only us, but also major media outlets around the world, as well as military and political figures across the United States, and even heads of major companies, have all received invitations from him."

Listening to Jarvis's description, Tony Stark felt increasingly unreliable: "Is his Value Line Corporation some kind of super-biological company? Otherwise, how could he have produced such results?"

"No, sir. According to their propaganda, the secret to longevity is in a book. As long as you study it step by step, you can live to be a hundred years old and have your yin and yang strengthened."

"Aphrodisiac?" Upon hearing the claim that it could enhance male potency, Stark still found it unreliable, but he had already decided to participate.

After all, how could he, the playboy known throughout America, miss out on something so interesting?

"Jarvis, send me all the information about tomorrow's press conference. I want to go and check it out myself," Stark said, and a dense array of information was presented to him in the next moment.

Soon, while browsing the data, a name that appeared very frequently caught Stark's attention: "White Night? An Asian."

Soon after seeing what Bai Ye did after his debut, Stark exclaimed, "My God, that's just like me, exactly as handsome as I was when I was young."

Jarvis: ...

Soon, after learning about it, he slapped his thigh and said, "Jarvis, help me accept the invitation from that company, and at the same time, end my vacation in Hawaii now and go back to New York. I want to go there tomorrow to see for myself."

……

"I have two invitations from Value Line Corporation here. Which of you will come with me?" Professor X said, holding two bills in his hand inside the Mutant Academy.

"Professor, what are you going there for? You really believe that some company and Bai Ye have discovered the secret to immortality? That's just a self-aggrandizing personal biography." Cyclops said unhappily, leaning against the door with his arms crossed.

Because the mutant academy is located near New York, and Kingpin's propaganda is now ubiquitous throughout New York, it would be strange if people didn't know about it.

"But Professor, how come you have an invitation? Did Bai Ye send it to you?" Jean Grey asked curiously from the side.

"This was given to me by Eric, and it's the result of that child's work. I have to go there and see it." Professor X smiled, very satisfied with White Night.

Just a few days ago, he also discovered the identity of the White Night mutant through his telepathic abilities.

Although his psychic abilities were instantly detected by White Night, who cursed and said that if he ever discovered something similar again, he would personally go to the mutant academy and let Cyclops use his rays to give Professor X's anus a good "opening."

Regardless of how Bai Ye became a mutant, the fact that Bai Ye was a mutant made him very gratified.

He had a premonition that White Night would become the link between humans and mutants.

"Magneto gave this to you! That guy Bai Ye really did contact him. This is definitely a Brotherhood conspiracy!" Cyclops was as excited as if he had seen Huo Zi, the Daoist master.

Seeing his agitated expression, Professor X could only turn to Jean Grey and say, "Jean, then come with me."

Feeling that her boyfriend was somewhat embarrassing, Jean Grey nodded helplessly.

……

At the top floor of Value Line Corporation, Kingpin took a light puff of his cigar and said, "Have all the invitations been sent out? Who's going to attend?"

"Thanks to our vigorous promotion, those who agreed to attend included the current president and vice president, mayors and governors from some states, the president of Stark Industries... and reporters from major media outlets."

His subordinates answered like reciting a menu, each name he mentioned representing a powerful figure capable of stirring up trouble.

"Furthermore, as you instructed, boss, we allocated 30 slots to the city randomly. They were quickly snatched up by several unknown forces, but we don't know who they are yet. We can only wait until tomorrow to enter with our tickets."

"Very good. Remember, when randomly selecting the recipients for the skill transfer tomorrow, the person chosen must be the one we initially selected." Kingpin said, tapping his fingers on the railing.

"But if it's that person, they might not be willing, since the impact would be too great if something happened," the subordinate whispered.

Seeing his subordinates talking back, Kingpin frowned: "That's exactly what we need – a lot of influence. Don't worry, I've already contacted them beforehand, they'll cooperate with me."

Realizing his overstepping his bounds, the subordinate quickly took a step back and said, "Yes, I was too talkative."

Meanwhile, at S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury looked at Coulson and said, "Tomorrow is the launch of White Night's new book. I managed to get two random spots from them. Come with me."

"Chief, isn't this unnecessary? It's just publishing a book," Hawkeye said from the side.

"The book itself isn't important; it's just an ordinary autobiography. The important thing is that the people who come are extremely important," Nick Fury said speechlessly. "With so many important figures appearing, if someone were to carry out an assassination there, it could directly affect the world order."

"I just don't understand why so many people came to see this book, which is just an ordinary autobiography. How much of a kickback did Kingpin give it?" Hill said.

"Those people weren't there for Jinbing, but for Baiye's sake."

Nick Fury said, "If you, like Bai Ye, have the personal combat power to influence the course of a battle, then when you extend an invitation, others will give you face."

Hearing Fury say this, the others fell silent helplessly; what he said made perfect sense.

Not only the upper class, but also Kingpin, will be able to broadcast the entire book signing event live tomorrow. Anyone can watch it by simply turning on their computer.

He also claimed that Bai Ye's autobiography, "Everyone Has Practice," is a groundbreaking book that surpasses the Bible and the Quran.
