Tony Stark suddenly saw the news; Stark Industries' annual charity gala was reporting on his problem, saying he had suffered a concussion.

Did Harvey Ambellaca attend the charity gala?

Tony Stark asked.

“Harvey Ambellaca received an invitation, but it’s unclear whether he actually showed up, sir.”

Jarvis paused for a moment, then said somewhat apologetically.

"You can finish assembling it for me first, don't wait for me, darling."

Upon hearing that he couldn't access the information, Tony Stark checked the time, left a message, and immediately drove off.

Chapter 14 Reminder

Tony Stark quickly arrived at the venue where Stark Industries was holding a charity ball.

This is a ball for the upper class, with handsome men and important figures dressed in expensive clothes, as well as many beautiful young women and sexy beauties.

Tony Stark's arrival immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

After handing the car over to the parking attendant, Tony Stark glanced around, casually responding to the people who greeted him, trying to spot Harvey Ambellaca.

He wanted to talk to Harvey Ambella again to find out how much the other person really knew about him.

Unfortunately, Tony Stark did not see Harvey Ambellaca.

So Tony Stark had no choice but to go to Obama first, wanting to ask him why he didn't know about the charity ball.

The two exchanged a few words, and just as Tony was about to go inside to ask Obama for more details,

An Audi R8, accompanied by the roar of its engine, came to a stylish stop by the roadside.

New York is a bustling city, but most of the cars driven by the upper class are familiar to them.

The arrival of this silver Audi R8 immediately made most of the people present aware of who the car's owner was.

Tony Stark had specifically investigated the other party and therefore knew who the car belonged to.

Soon the car door opened, and a tall, handsome man with black hair and black eyes got out of the car.

"He directly misappropriated $3.5 billion in working capital and became one of Stark Industries' shareholders."

"From now on, there will be one more celebrity."

Those who knew more about the situation were also whispering among themselves when they saw the man arrive.

"He actually went to a party?"

"He didn't bring a female companion this time, did he?"

Some young and beautiful women were incredulous at the arrival of Harvey Ambellaca, while others were also eager to try their luck.

Although Harvey Ambellaca attended Tony Stark's press conference last time, this was undoubtedly Harvey Ambellaca's first appearance at a gala.

Such charity balls usually require a female companion, and if you're lucky, you can spend the night together.

Tony Stark stood on the steps, his gaze meeting Harvey Ambellaca's.

Tony Stark didn't waste any words and went straight up to him.

"I heard you don't attend these kinds of events. Even though I sent you an invitation, why did you come this time?"

Tony Stark approached Harvey and asked.

"There should be a lot of delicious food here. I happened to receive an invitation and had nothing else to do, so I decided to come and take a look."

"And I felt you were really eager to talk to me, so I came."

Harvey smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"So you have time to talk to me?"

Tony Stark heard the certainty in Harvey Ambellaca's words and did not deny it.

"That depends on what you want to talk about."

Harvey did not give a clear answer upon hearing this.

"Let's go inside and talk about it."

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark glanced around and spoke.

Harvey nodded in agreement and followed Tony Stark inside.

The two seemed to know each other well before they started talking, which aroused the gossip of many people around them.

When Coulson saw that Harvey Ambellaca had also arrived and seemed to be talking to Stark about something, he decided to find an opportunity to have a chat with Stark.

Why did you suddenly buy Stark Industries shares?

Stark and Harvey entered the venue together, and the two went directly to the deserted balcony outside the ballroom.

"The reason, of course, is that I want to earn more money."

Harvey looked at the night view outside and said calmly.

"So that's what I'm asking, why are you suddenly optimistic about Stark Industries again?"

Tony Stark responded to this evasive answer with a questioning tone.

He couldn't figure this out no matter what he did, so he could only find out through Harvey Ambellaca.

"With your brain, it shouldn't be hard to figure out why I did this, right?"

Upon hearing this, Harvey turned and glanced at Tony Stark's chest, then said something meaningful.

Who told you that?

"Oba?"

With just that one glance, Tony Stark felt as if his entire being had been seen through. His eyes narrowed, and he immediately began to guess, tentatively uttering the most likely name.

"Those who are dispensable and can be easily erased are not worth my time to befriend."

Harvey responded calmly upon hearing this.

"..."

Tony Stark detected a sense of indifference in Harvey Ambellaca's tone.

This wasn't an act; he could sense it. In Harvey Ambellaca's eyes, Obadiah Stanislav was like an insignificant nobody.

But no matter what, Obadiah Stanislavsky had worked with the military for many years and was a prominent figure in the United States.

What gives Harvey Ambellaca the confidence to say these things?

"I have no grudge against you, so I'll pretend I didn't hear any of these words."

Tony Stark didn't think much of Oba Stanislav; he was just someone from the same generation as his father and one of the veterans of Stark Industries.

So he wouldn't say he thought highly of Obadiah Stanislavski, but he also wouldn't think she was stupid or anything like that; their relationship over the years had been alright.

Based on his investigation into Harvey Ambellaca's background and origins, once Obadiah Stanislavsky learned that Harvey Ambellaca looked down on him so much...

Then Harvey Ambellaca could face a devastating blow.

Although Harvey Ambellaca annoyed Tony Stark, it must be said that the two actually didn't have any real animosity.

"You actually want to keep it a secret for me? Thank you so much."

"As a thank you gift, Tony Stark, I can give you a hint, I wonder if you'd like to hear it?"

Upon hearing Tony Stark's words, Harvey's indifference and calm vanished instantly, replaced by a slight smile.

"This time, I'm not begging you; you said it yourself."

When Tony Stark heard Harvey Ambellaca's warning, he became wary and decided to clarify the relationship beforehand. It wasn't that he was begging Ambella, but rather that Ambella insisted on saying it.

"Of course, this is just a thank-you gift."

"Aren't you investigating who deliberately kidnapped you?"

Trust your instincts, and be wary of the other person.

"After all, even garbage can cause some trouble."

Seeing Tony Stark frantically trying to distance himself, Harvey, fearing he might think the other was asking for a favor, spoke up.

"How...how did you know I'd been kidnapped?"

When Tony Stark heard the word "trust your instincts," a name popped into his mind, but he quickly realized what it meant and was about to ask loudly when he immediately lowered his voice.

"I'm a little hungry, I should go get something to eat."

Upon hearing this, Harvey glanced at Tony Stark but did not reply. Instead, he patted his stomach and walked into the ballroom, talking to himself.

Tony Stark watched as Harvey Ambella walked across the dance floor and headed straight for a table laden with delicious food, and he had many questions in his mind.

However, Harvey Ambellaca's position clearly made it inappropriate for him to continue talking to Harvey Ambellaca.

So he was forced to temporarily suppress his doubts and step onto the dance floor.

Chapter 15 No Weaknesses

Harvey arrived at the food area and, looking at the dazzling array of food, picked up a tray and began selecting dishes on his own.

He invested so much money in Stark Industries, of course he didn't want to see Tony Stark suddenly fail miserably.

So he came here to take a look, to give Tony Stark a heads-up, and to grab a bite to eat.

Although there are other restaurants open, none of them can compare to the food served at such a grand charity ball.

More importantly, he doesn't have to wait; he can just eat whatever he wants.

Feeling somewhat annoyed, Tony Stark walked to the bar and casually ordered a drink.

“Hello Mr. Tony Stark, I am Agent Coulson. We met last time.”

When Coulson saw Tony Stark heading towards the bar, he immediately went over and offered to introduce them.

"That's the one, right? The one about land and stuff."

Tony Stark looked over upon hearing this, as if remembering something.
