I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

The idea that "with great power comes great responsibility" is merely a rhetoric used by the weak to morally blackmail the strong.

Have you not seen that most of the powerful beings in the universe act based on their own moods?

Why weren't they morally blackmailed? Because those who morally blackmailed them were all wiped out by them.

Harvey, as a strong man, did not want to be morally blackmailed by the weak; he simply wanted to live freely and according to his own will.

He can rescue or even help the weak, but he does it not because of any obligation, but because he wants to do it, even if it's just on a whim.

He did it because he wanted to, not because he was instructed by someone or because he was morally coerced.

When Harvey arrived in Gumira, a figure dressed in a handsome gold and red suit of armor was fighting terrorists.

However, there are some noticeable pauses between Iron Man's moves.

It's clear that Tony Stark lacks combat experience, and his use of various weapons doesn't seem smooth enough.

However, despite his slightly lack of combat experience, the gap in technological combat power still allowed Iron Man to kill the Ten Rings terrorists without serious injury and save Gumira's group.

Just as Tony Stark finished the battle, a chilling aura seemed to cause the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

"Sir, a life form has been detected 100 meters to the southeast."

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark looked up in that direction and saw a figure completely covered by a black cloak.

"Jarvis, can you identify him?"

Tony Stark saw that the figure was floating in the air without relying on anything, and that it exuded an extremely dangerous aura. His eyes narrowed, and he quickly asked.

"Detection in progress... Detection failed...Identity unknown."

Jarvis checked his database and found no information related to the figure.

"As a human being, you must have a very good brain to be able to create something like this."

At that moment, Harvey spoke, his cold and chilling voice echoing through the sky.

The sound was like a cold wind, making one's scalp tingle involuntarily upon hearing it.

The crowd in Gumira, even the crying children, were so frightened that they stopped crying.

"Is this a compliment? Thank you so much, I'm very confident in my intelligence."

Tony Stark's body also rose into the air, reaching a height of 100 meters. He didn't know whether this person was friend or foe, but since the other party had spoken, he naturally responded in kind.

You can take this as a compliment.

"However, the technology you've created is only relatively advanced compared to humans."

"Looking at the universe, your technology is far from sufficient."

"You're still too weak."

"I hope that when I see you again next time, you will have invented something even more amazing for me."

Harvey looked Iron Man over and began to speak.

As soon as he finished speaking, Harvey vanished into thin air.

Tony Stark watched the figure vanish in an instant, his eyes narrowing as he exclaimed, "Jarvis!"

"Sir, no signs of life from that unidentified creature have been detected; it's as if it has completely vanished."

Jarvis understood Tony Stark's meaning and immediately activated his radar to begin detection, but found nothing. He reported this with a slight apology.

Tony Stark's heart sank when he heard Jarvis say that he couldn't detect the other party.

Although the voice of the unidentified figure was chilling, Tony Stark could detect a hint of approval in it.

Tony Stark was praised for his intelligence, but he wasn't happy at all.

Because he had never heard of such a thing existing on Earth.

There are actually intelligent beings in this world who can fly without any power.

This made Tony Stark feel as if he had inadvertently opened the door to an unknown world.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, Tony Stark doesn't know for now.

However, Tony Stark remembered the other party's assessment of his technology, saying it was still too weak compared to the universe.

Does that mean the other person knows a lot about the universe, or that they are an alien?

Come to think of it, even his prized AI Jarvis couldn't detect the other party's whereabouts.

Jarvis only notified himself that the being had appeared when it actually showed itself.

He didn't even know if the other person had just arrived or if they had been there watching him rescue Gumira.

It seemed like he had stumbled upon a new world. Instead of feeling excited, Tony Stark felt a sense of anxiety in the face of such an unknown creature.

What is the origin of this other party? Is it a being from Earth? If not, then what is their purpose in coming to Earth?

After thinking it over, Tony Stark was shocked to realize how little he actually knew.

Soon after, Tony Stark returned home with a heavy heart.

He still has some things to do; he needs to get rid of Obadiah Stanislavsky completely.

After he finishes dealing with these matters, he will investigate the existence of that unknown creature in more detail.

Harvey watched Tony Stark float blankly in the air, seemingly lost in thought, before leaving Gumira.

Harvey knew his identity and had already made an impression on Tony Stark.

If Tony Stark is willing to learn more, he will gain a deeper understanding of the Void, this unknown place.

Having achieved his purpose, Harvey then returned home.

The most important thing in winning over Tony Stark is to make an impression.

As long as they leave an impression, given Tony Stark's thoughtful and truth-seeking nature, they will inevitably meet again.

Chapter 18 Tony's Methods

On his way back, Tony Stark was intercepted by two fighter jets.

After a period of hiding and evasion, Tony Stark finally managed to return to Stark Estate in New York.

Upon returning home, Tony Stark immediately instructed Jarvis to compile all the evidence of Obadiah Stanislav's crimes.

Tony Stark then offered to hold a board meeting that evening.

Tony Stark also asked Colonel Rhodes to wait for his message before taking action.

Although he has created the Iron Man suit, it is not yet time to announce it.

Furthermore, he doesn't want to use his Iron Man suit to do whatever he wants, so it can't be considered atonement for his past crimes.

Without his Iron Man suit, Tony Stark is just an ordinary person, so naturally he has to worry about whether Obadiah Stanislavski might resort to desperate measures and launch a surprise attack.

Despite the fact that Tony Stark was tricked by Obadiah Stanislav into being removed from the board of directors, the news that Tony Stark would take the initiative to convene a board meeting still carried appeal.

Everyone at Stark Industries who was authorized to join the board of directors received the news.

The Stark Industries board was already discussing a decision because of the attack on Stark Industries that morning.

Now, Tony Stark's call has brought them all together.

Obadiah Stanislav felt a pang of unease when he received news that Tony was calling a board meeting, but he still decided to attend.

※※※※※※※

Soon it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Numerous guards patrolled around the Stark Industries building.

Inside the Stark Industries conference room at this moment.

Tony Stark looked around at the group of men sitting at the table, all of them large and robust, over forty or fifty years old, but Harvey Ambella was not among them.

He knew Harvey Ambellaca, and he must already know some of his thoughts and actions.

Otherwise, Harvey Ambellaca should also have come to listen to this matter that could make the other shareholders on the board uneasy, and discussed the corresponding policy.

Obadiah Stanislav has essentially bought off all the other controlling shareholders within Stark Industries.

Half of the board members were his people, which was the key reason why he dared to come to the meeting.

However, things haven't completely fallen apart yet, so we should still show respect where necessary.

"Tony, what did you want to say to us this time?"

Obadiah Stanislav looked at Tony with a smile and asked.

"Before I explain, I'd like to show you something."

"Release Jarvis."

Tony Stark saw that Obadiah Stanislav was still acting hypocritically and didn't respond, so he gave a command to himself.

Jarvis received instructions and immediately released the compiled video evidence.

These images are evidence that Obadiah Stanislav ordered the Ten Commandments to kill him.

The time stamp in the upper right corner indicates that the conversation took place a month before Tony Stark decided to go to Afghanistan, meaning his itinerary had already been exposed.

There is also footage of Tony Stark being attacked and critically injured a month later.

The subsequent conversation between Obadiah Stanislav and the Ten Rings terrorists revealed their plan to kill Tony Stark after they had squeezed him dry.

The entire board of directors watched the images in complete silence.

Even the other shareholders who had been persuaded and bought off by Obadiah Stanislav felt disheartened at this point.

They were persuaded by Obadiah Stanislavski entirely because Tony Stark decided to shut down the weapons manufacturing division without any consultation.

They were harmed in terms of their interests and wealth, which is why they joined Obadiah Stanislavsky's ranks and ousted Tony Stark from his position as chairman.

Unexpectedly, Tony Stark, who was rumored to have only been traveling in Afghanistan for two months, was actually murdered there.

If Tony Stark hadn't presented this evidence, they would all still be kept in the dark by Obadiah Stanislavsky.

If Obadiah Stanislav was able to eliminate Tony Stark so quietly, then in the future, if they are on the wrong side or are considered worthless...

Will I also be silently eliminated like this?
