The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

There was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Because he used technological means to examine the [Steel Ring] that Bai Ye had given him, and like his research on [Norton's Proficient HP Potion], it contained many unknown elements and energies that hindered his in-depth research.

"Similar to potions, they are magical items, enchanted items, and imbued with magical power."

Bai Ye said:

"Just like playing online games, there are various benefits such as increased intelligence and sleep resistance, as well as other benefits. You can discover them for yourself!"

However, Bai Ye didn't think that Tony could figure out anything from those things.

Tony is cursed by knowledge. There are few things on the technological side that he can't handle, but the mystical side is completely different from the technological side. Without a teacher to guide you through the basics, it's impossible to learn it by just figuring it out on your own.

He was already lucky to have created the T-potion before, as he managed to scientifically analyze some aspects of magic.

"Does magic really exist in this world?" Tony asked, puzzled. "But why can't I find any record of it?"

"What do you think magicians are? Circus clowns? You think you can just find them whenever you want?" Bai Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Magicians are mysterious and unpredictable. Powerful magicians can destroy the world. They pursue truth and immortality, not enjoyment and money. So what necessary connection do they have with ordinary people?"

Tony raised an eyebrow and said, "So how did you get these magical items?"

“Of course I have my own channels, but I can’t just tell you,” Bai Ye said. “If you’re really curious about magic, I can guide you on a clear path.”

"Oh?"

Bai Ye glanced at Tony with a dark expression, paused, and continued, "Of course you won't find the magician by searching everywhere. If you have the time and opportunity, why don't you go to Kathmandu, Nepal? If the magician feels you are destined, he might come out to see you."

Although Doctor Strange is the chosen Sorcerer Supreme, it's not impossible for Tony Stark to challenge for the title.

As if in a parallel universe, Tony and Stephen Strange met. When Tony was driving Strange around, a car accident occurred, leaving Strange with crippled hands. Tony felt extremely guilty and, in order to heal Strange's hands, went to the XZ Sanctum for treatment. Unexpectedly, he was chosen by the Ancient One and became the Iron Sorcerer Supreme.

"Kathmandu, Nepal..."

Tony seemed to be deep in thought.

“Mr. Stark, the banquet is about to begin. In keeping with your usual ‘low-key’ style, you will be making a grand entrance last, so it’s time to change your clothes.”

Natasha walked in with graceful steps, knocked on the door, and gave a reminder.

"OK."

Tony snapped his fingers to indicate that he understood.

"Then I won't disturb your desire to keep a low profile."

Bai Ye smiled, downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, put down the glass, and walked out.

After leaving Tony's room, Bai Ye went outside.

Outside, the lights were dazzling, and the night was filled with shimmering neon lights, making it exceptionally enchanting.

Bai Ye casually picked up a glass of wine from a tray held by a passing bunny girl.

While drinking, Bai Ye looked at the crowd.

He had little interest in those well-dressed scoundrels, but his keen eye for beauty led him to notice many stunningly beautiful socialites at the banquet.

With Bai Ye's good looks, she naturally attracted the attention of many wealthy ladies and socialites.

He had only been standing there for less than half a minute when Bai Ye received several women, each with a looks that were at least an 8 out of 10, giving him flirtatious glances.

"Looks like I won't be lonely tonight!"

A smile appeared on Bai Ye's lips.

Seeing Bai Ye's slightly wicked smile, many socialites and wealthy women were tempted, but since their husbands and boyfriends were nearby, they couldn't be too direct.

"white night!"

Suddenly, someone patted Bai Ye on the shoulder from behind.

Bai Ye turned around.

Then I saw it...

"Audrey?"

Bai Ye looked in surprise at the woman standing gracefully behind him. It was none other than Audrey, the beautiful young woman he had taught yoga to not long ago.

What are you doing here?

Audrey was wearing a white, deep-V long dress, looking sexy and charming, her arms around her fair and slender neck, her skin smooth and delicate.

A pair of long, white-stockinged legs that make you want to hug and lick them.

“I came with that bastard Billings,” Audrey said. “After all, we’re not really divorced yet, so he brings me along to some important occasions to show that he’s a responsible and good man!”

Bai Ye nodded and asked curiously:

"But this is Tony Stark's party, it doesn't seem to fit the style of people like them who are involved in politics, does it?"

Anyone with a sound mind knows that 80% of the big parties Tony Stark throws are the frivolous kind.

Billings, however, was a powerful senator, and even here he couldn't just relax and have fun.

Why bother?

“Tony Stark is certainly unreliable, but aren’t all billionaires the same kind of people?” Audrey said. “Those politicians who have some power, but aren’t too strong…who wouldn’t want to curry favor with a few more big spenders?”

In the political landscape of the United States, capitalists manipulate national politics behind the scenes by providing funds for election campaigns, and American politicians are reduced to working for capitalists in order to donate money, and the president is nothing more than a high-level employee.

Politicians rely on various donations, so they naturally have to please the donors; whoever gives the most money is the boss.

So Tony only invited a group of like-minded billionaires, not a bunch of politicians who came running over like sharks smelling fish.

These politicians held a certain position, so Pepper Potts, who was organizing the banquet for Tony, naturally gave them face and let them in.

—Don't be fooled by Billings' status as a councilman with some real power in New York City; in front of a military-industrial complex mogul like Tony, he's not much better off than an ordinary citizen.

“But you!” Audrey changed the subject, saying, “I thought you were joking before, but I didn’t expect you to really be good friends with Tony Stark?”

Bai Ye had previously said that he and Tony had started a medical company together, and that Tony had begged him to cooperate.

"That's right! Would I lie to you?" Bai Ye said, "That guy just now was pitifully begging me to calm down and not be too impulsive."

"Ha ha!"

Audrey was amused by the white night:

"Bai Ye, I don't believe it!"

Tony Stark is a top-tier figure of power. Even the president wouldn't be expected to beg pitifully.

If Tony Stark wanted to enter politics, he would at least be a member of the president's cabinet, most likely as Secretary of State.

So how could Audrey possibly believe Bai Ye's words?

"Sigh, these days, no one believes the truth anymore!"

Bai Ye shook his head helplessly.

"But Bai Ye, you didn't go to Tony Stark's party just to do something bad, did you?"

Audrey narrowed her eyes slightly and said.

“How could that be!” Bai Ye said, “Audrey, I’m absolutely loyal to you! Okay, to be honest, the main problem is that my business with Tony Stark has run into some trouble, so I came here to ask him for help. To be honest, the economy is bad right now, and doing business is getting harder and harder. If it weren’t for that awful business, with my impeccable morals, why would I come to this kind of smoky party?”

Audrey nodded.

That sounds more like the truth to Bai Ye!

Tony Stark is arrogant by nature; how could he possibly beg and plead to cooperate with Bai Ye?

Without a doubt, Tony Stark would be in a dominant position in their collaboration.

Immediately, Audrey asked with concern:

"Is your business in serious trouble? If it's really difficult, I have some savings that you can use to get through this!"

"Fool, how could I possibly use your money!" Bai Ye gently stroked Audrey's cheek and laughed, "Besides, what use is your little bit of money? My collaboration with Tony Stark is a business worth hundreds of millions!"

"I kindly wanted to lend you money, and you're laughing at me?"

Audrey immediately slapped Bai Ye hard.

Well, Audrey knew that if it was a business that even Tony Stark was interested in, it would definitely be a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and her personal savings were indeed far from enough.

Billings is chatting with a group of high society elites.

Suddenly.

A man in his forties, wearing a custom-made Armani suit, with a red neck and a large face, pointed at Audrey, who was playfully fighting with Bai Ye, and said:

"Billings, is that your wife? Why are you being so intimate with that pretty boy?"

“That’s definitely Billings’ wife. I’ve seen her a few times. Oh dear, she and that pretty boy are getting a little too intimate, they’re practically kissing!” A blond, blue-eyed white man, who looked quite refined and always had a smile on his face, spoke with malice, because he was Billings’ old nemesis: “I heard that Billings and your wife don’t get along very well. Be careful she doesn’t cheat on you!”

"Shepard, you'd be better off worrying about yourself than me! My wife isn't nearly as warm and hospitable as yours. I heard she lived in the San Fernando Valley before marrying you!"

Billings maintained a semblance of composure and said...

Shepard snapped, “Billings, explain yourself! I’ve explained this so many times. She just rented a place nearby. You’re just a jerk who can’t say anything nice and keeps bringing up these old stories.”

"Hehe, whatever makes you happy." Billings smiled faintly. "I need to go to the restroom, excuse me!"

Shepard sneered, "This guy makes it sound so easy, but he's just getting impatient. He's going to break up the couple, isn't he? Indeed, if he doesn't go soon, his wife will be in someone else's arms!"

"Judging from that pretty boy's appearance, he's not a waiter or anything. So, he must be quite well-off to be able to attend this party. We're in for a good show!"

"Hey hey hey..."

A group of old men exchanged glances and couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Bai Ye, Audrey, and Billings.

As Bai Ye was chatting and laughing with Audrey, Billings walked over, holding a glass of champagne, trying hard to suppress his anger and appear refined:

"Audrey, I've been looking for you! Where have you gone?"

Upon seeing Billings, Audrey's cheerful laughter abruptly ceased, and she said expressionlessly:

"I ran into a friend and we chatted for a while. What's up, do you need something?"

“I have a few friends I can introduce you to.” Billings gently supported Audrey’s slender waist and said, “Audrey, how many times have I told you, when you’re out in the UV field, don’t talk to shady people. Who knows what they might be up to?”

Bai Ye smiled gently, raised the wine in his hand, and took a sip.

Seeing the green glow on his head, I decided not to bother with him.

Bai Ye didn't mind, but Audrey couldn't. She didn't want to hear Billings speak ill of Bai Ye like that, so she shoved Billings and said coldly:
