"What happened?"

Pepper saw that he had only gone down to the lab a short while ago, but immediately came back up and sat on the sofa on the first floor, looking somewhat uneasy. She asked him with some concern.

"I just sit here for a while when I have nothing else to do."

Tony Stark paused for a moment upon hearing this before speaking.

Jarvis?

Upon hearing this answer, Pepper immediately asked Jarvis.

"Sir is preparing to entertain a friend."

Jarvis's voice rang out in response to Pepper's question.

"What friend? Just a guest."

Tony Stark immediately retorted upon hearing this.

"What friend?"

"How come I didn't know?"

Seeing that Tony ignored her reaction, Pepper's curiosity was piqued, and she continued to ask Jarvis questions.

"It's Mr. Harvey Amberaka, he's on his way."

Jarvis answered honestly.

When did they become friends?

Upon hearing the name, Pepper glanced at Tony with some surprise and said...

She was neither familiar with Harvey Ambellaca nor unfamiliar with him, but she had never heard that Tony had such a deep relationship with Harvey Ambellaca.

"In this past month."

Jarvis answered again upon hearing this.

"?"

Pepper didn't understand Jarvis's somewhat vague answer at first.

"No need to ask, in short, Harvey Ambellaca is coming to visit."

"More food will be delivered later, could you please help receive it?"

Tony Stark interrupted Pepper's further curiosity and gave direct instructions.

This only confused Pepper more, since they had just had dinner not long ago.

“That food is for Mr. Harvey Ambellaca.”

"His appetite seems to be very good, so we need to prepare more food."

Jarvis, seeing Pepper's puzzled expression, provided the explanation.

"The rumors were actually true?"

Pepper asked, somewhat surprised.

"Although I can't understand why humans can eat so much food, the rumors are indeed true."

Even competitive eaters can't eat as much as him, right?

"Yes, none of the world's competitive eaters have such a good appetite as Mr. Harvey Ambellaca."

Pepper and Jarvis started chatting, exchanging questions and answers.

Twenty minutes passed quickly.

"Sir, Mr. Harvey Ambellaca has arrived at the manor gate."

"The door has been opened for them."

Jarvis's voice reported.

Soon, the villa's main gate opened automatically.

Harvey was not surprised by any of this.

Pepper was momentarily dazzled by Harvey Ambellaca's striking good looks and impeccable posture in his white suit.

She often sees handsome white men, and she sees relatively few handsome Asian men.

Although it wasn't the first time I'd seen them, I'd usually only seen them from the side and knew we didn't have much interaction, so I hadn't paid much attention.

However, this time, the visit from the other party dazzled Pepper for a moment. After all, who wouldn't like a young and handsome guy?

"Cough cough."

Just then, a cough came from the side, bringing Pepper back to her senses.

"Hello, Mr. Harvey Ambellaca."

Pepper lowered her head, then raised it again with a polite smile.

"Hello, Miss Pepper Potts."

Harvey responded politely upon hearing this.

"Let's go downstairs and talk."

When Tony Stark saw Harvey Ambellaca arrive, he immediately stood up and pointed behind him with his thumb.

Harvey glanced at Pepper, seemed to understand, and then nodded.

“Pepper, you don’t need to pour us coffee unless I tell you to. We’ll come up after we finish talking.”

Tony Stark gave Harvey Ambellaca specific instructions when he took him downstairs.

Pepper was curious about Tony's mysterious demeanor, but she had no choice but to agree.

"You didn't want her to know, so it seems the things you wanted to discuss with me weren't just about your latest technology."

Harvey spoke as he walked up the stairs with Tony Stark.

"It seems I can't hide it from you after all. But since you guessed what I was going to talk about, and you know that those are things she can't possibly understand."

Tony Stark realized that his thoughts had been seen through with just one sentence, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.

"You don't think she can't understand, but rather that even if she understands, she can't comprehend you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Harvey glanced at Pepper, who was standing there curiously watching this side, and then at Tony Stark, who seemed to have something on his mind.

“It’s not just her; many people probably can’t understand this, so I brought you here.”

Tony Stark sighed slightly upon hearing these somewhat meaningful words and then spoke.

"Then I'm all ears."

Harvey paused for a moment upon hearing this, a smile appearing on his face, and then spoke.

“Jarvis, those two really do look like friends.”

Although Pepper couldn't go down and couldn't hear clearly, she saw that Tony and Harvey Ambella hadn't gone down to the underground research lab yet, so they started chatting.

"Sir, you are not good at expressing your feelings, but my judgment is correct."

Jarvis spoke with a hint of pride.

Although he didn't know much about Harvey Ambellaca, he knew that his husband had been persistently reminding him to call and contact Harvey Ambellaca for a whole month.

I must have something in common with Mr. Tony Stark.

Chapter 23 Tony's Light Bulb

Harvey followed Tony into Tony's underground research lab.

This place is very advanced; some things that could only be displayed on a screen are presented here using 3D projection.

Harvey had seen it in a movie in his previous life, but now that he was actually here, he looked around with great interest.

“Harvey Ambellaca, you give me the impression that you know a lot of things.”

"Have you ever heard of aliens?"

Tony noticed that Harvey Ambella didn't seem surprised, but rather interested, so he walked toward a table and asked.

"I know what I need to know. Just tell me what you want to talk about."

Harvey's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and he spoke.

How much do you know about extraterrestrials?

When Tony Stark heard Harvey Ambellaca's question, he asked directly.

"I know a bit too much."

"For the sake of this lavish meal, I can answer three questions for you."

"So it depends on what you want to know from me."

Harvey casually found a comfortable chair and sat down, smiling as he spoke.

Tony Stark saw Harvey Ambellaca smiling as if he knew everything, and indeed Harvey Ambellaca was very mysterious.

Is Earth really in a very dangerous situation, as Coulson claims?

So Tony Stark thought for a moment and tentatively asked the question he most wanted to know at that moment.

"The Earth is not dangerous at all right now, but it will become dangerous in a few years."

Harvey spoke up upon hearing this.

"A few more years, but when exactly is that?"

Tony Stark's eyes narrowed when he heard these words.

"Given the knowledge that it will become dangerous in a few years, does the timing really matter?"

Harvey laughed and asked in return.

"Let me think about it...."

Upon hearing these words, Tony Stark instantly sobered up from his anxiety.
