“Pepper wouldn’t have done this otherwise, it’s all my fault for talking about the New Year’s pilgrimage to Xandar earlier.”

"After I showed her the video, she became like this."

"Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."

While Pepper was away, Tony approached Harvey and said somewhat embarrassedly.

“Miss Pepper is not you, and she has never left Earth to see a wider world, so I can understand.”

"You don't need to worry that I'll get angry or anything like that. After all, I've been through much more troublesome situations than this."

Harvey didn't seem to mind and spoke up.

On Xandar, he could go wherever he wanted, like this trip back to Earth.

Sonia never offered any opinions, so it was an exception that she asked when she would return this time.

However, if Harvey wants to walk around the island, Sonia will take it very seriously and constantly remind him to be careful about his behavior.

Even if Sonia leaves for a while, even just half a day, I will still worry.

"No wonder you said you wanted to go back to Earth for a visit."

"You're free over there, but not completely free, right?"

Tony listened to Harvey's words, thought for a moment, and understood.

On Void Isle, he had a good relationship with many members of the Void Cult, but very few of them had the honor of meeting Harvey.

Kassadin's identity clearly requires Xavi to be mindful of his behavior.

"Yes, you can eat, drink, and sleep well on Xandar, but in terms of freedom, I feel much more at ease as Harvey."

Harvey didn't stand on ceremony at Tony's house and sat down at the dining table.

"I feel more comfortable on Xandar."

"Because there you don't need to hide your youthful identity, and you can freely show your strength."

Tony said with some emotion after hearing this.

On Earth, he must wear his Iron Man armor whenever he goes out, and he absolutely cannot take it off, otherwise he will be exposed.

“Tony, you just got back a few days ago. Even if you’re going to space, you should stay home for at least six months.”

Pepper came up with the food and, upon hearing Tony's words, spoke up.

"I know you don't need to be so nervous. I may be gone for a longer period of time."

Tony wasn't scared when he heard this, and spoke up.

"Tony, what do you need me for? Just say it."

"I don't like it when people beat around the bush in front of me."

Seeing Tony's expression, Harvey continued what he was doing and spoke directly.

"Okay, I just wanted to ask what kind of trouble I'll have this year."

"I know that secrets cannot be revealed, but can you at least give me a general direction?"

"Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep soundly."

Tony realized that Harvey had figured out his intentions, so he stopped beating around the bush and asked about the thing that had been bothering him for the past few days.

"The general direction is related to the Avengers."

Harvey knew that Tony would contact him if nothing was wrong, but he still glanced up at Tony and gave him some direction.

"Has a foreign enemy invaded?"

Tony frowned deeply when Harvey mentioned the Avengers, and then spoke.

He's currently the only member of the Avengers, but he also knows the conditions for the Avengers to launch an attack.

That means there is an external enemy threatening Earth. As for conflicts between nations, Nick Fury can't persuade him to join.

Whether or not it can be considered an external enemy depends on how you define an external enemy.

Harvey paused his actions after hearing this, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

Earth is, in a sense, Asgard's territory, and although Loki was adopted, he is still an Asgardian prince.

However, Loki will indeed bring Thanos's army after him.

Therefore, Harvey didn't know whether it was better to describe it as internal strife or as an invasion by a foreign enemy.

"Won't Odin, the King of Gods, or the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, get involved in this?"

Tony's expression turned serious when he heard Harvey's words.

"will not."

Harvey can give a positive answer to this question.

Odin was tricked by Loki, and the Ancient Ones didn't want to get involved since Thor was willing to step in and resolve the issue, which is why they let Loki have so much fun.

“I can handle that.”

When Tony heard that the two important figures wouldn't be alerted, he knew the external enemy wasn't that strong, and his expression softened. He spoke with a relaxed look.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you can handle this now."

Harvey did not deny it upon hearing this.

Loki only became very strong after he grew old and studied countless spells.

However, the only strength of Loki that we will see at this stage is his physical strength.

Loki can outmaneuver some heroes, but when faced with truly powerful opponents, his strength is insufficient.

Thor is different. Normally, Thor's strength is manageable, but once he activates his "daddy mode," his strength skyrockets to an absurd level.

Chapter 136 Reputation and Getting on Board

"Okay, I will keep a close eye on news from around the world."

"If they come, I'll go and take a look."

Tony was completely relieved to hear this.

They didn't ask Harvey where the other party would appear.

If aliens appear and he determines they are enemies, he will show absolutely no mercy.

"..."

Harvey seemed thoughtful when Tony said he would keep a close eye on news from various places.

Without his powers, Thor wouldn't be able to harm Earth, and even with his powers, he wouldn't hurt Earth, so Tony probably wouldn't consider him an opponent.

Tony would at most deal with Loki, so Harvey didn't bother to say anything more.

Knowing that the trouble they were facing wouldn't threaten their lives, both Tony and Pepper felt relieved.

So Pepper felt relieved and sat down at the table, and the three of them ate together, chatting and laughing.

After lunch, Harvey went home. Rather than watching Tony and Pepper being affectionate, he'd rather drive around and pick up girls.

Harvey only remembers that 2011 was the year Captain America woke up and Thor arrived.

However, Harvey didn't even know the exact month.

But it will only last a few months at most; we just need to wait for the show to begin.

Harvey drove his luxury car around, enjoying the ride, even during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Even in New York City, a place known for its simple and honest people, there are occasional incidents of Black people buying things for free or engaging in armed fights.

However, anyone in New York who isn't a newbie knows to give way when they see Harvey's luxury car and license plate.

They are prone to outbursts of anger and quick to act, even fighting for dignity, but they would never risk their lives for dignity.

Before he met Tony Stark, one of New York's wealthiest and most influential figures, Harvey often drove around aimlessly.

If nothing dangerous has happened in the past few years, then they must not be a kind person.

Not to mention that Harvey, this young tycoon, has a close relationship with Tony Stark, the former arms magnate and head of Stark Industries, and frequently visits Stark Estate.

This story had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of New York.

Even though Tony Stark has now switched to the energy industry, a fallen giant is still bigger than a horse.

Even setting aside Tony Stark's status as Iron Man, revered by countless people, and his abilities, everyone in New York knows about Tony Stark's connections with the military.

Those petty thugs who manage to survive for years are all shrewd and calculating. They might act tough in front of ordinary people, but they wouldn't even dare to touch some of the big shots in New York.

Knowing that New York tycoon Harvey had resurfaced after a year's absence, some of New York's underground forces and gangs became more restrained to avoid accidentally discharging their guns.

Even if we don't kill Harvey, even if we only scratch Harvey's car, if he can't pay for it, he'll have to pay with his life.

Meanwhile, among New York's socialite circles and young women, upon hearing that Harvey was driving around, they all dressed up nicely and went out together.

It's worth noting that Harvey's net worth is now over eight billion US dollars.

Earning billions in dividends a year without lifting a finger—that's not just being young and promising; that's true success.

Harvey is currently unmarried and very handsome. Even if he offered himself up, he wouldn't be labeled a mistress.

Harvey naturally became a hot commodity in the eyes of countless beautiful women in New York.

As for Harvey's Asian population, that's not a problem at all. As long as you're rich and generous, it doesn't matter if you're Asian or even Black.

Harvey originally just went for a drive to see if there were any beautiful women, but he discovered that on January 1st, many Americans were not going back to work.

There were many beautiful women on the road, all dressed up and flirting with him.

Harvey found it utterly uninteresting.

Harvey doesn't reject makeup; she believes that appropriate makeup can make women look more beautiful.

However, he can only accept naturally beautiful women whose beauty is still evident even after makeup.

As for those women who look completely different before and after makeup, that's not makeup, it should be called interior decoration.

Moreover, Harvey is a very clean person. Compared to a woman whose lips have been tasted by thousands, even if she is called a beauty by countless people, she would not pass his test.
