I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"Did Howard Stark leave any belongings behind?"

"I can help you investigate your father's whereabouts."

"Please give me an hour. Is there anything your father left behind that he didn't give to you? I will help you find out."

When Coulson heard that Tony Stark actually needed help, he saw it as a great opportunity to build a friendship, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

When Tony Stark heard that he could actually help with the investigation, he glanced at Harvey Ambella and then spoke seriously.

"Leave it to me."

Coulson responded with one sentence and then hung up the call.

"If he really helps me find it, then I can say that I owe their bureau a favor."

Seeing Coulson's excited and efficient work style, Tony Stark spoke up.

"Usually, you have to pay a price to get something."

"It's just about getting back your father's remaining belongings. The extent of this favor is up to you."

Harvey, upon hearing this, replied nonchalantly.

"Returning the relics can only be considered returning them to their rightful owner, but what if I discover new elements through my father's relics?"

"If the Arc Reactor is improved, then this favor will be quite substantial."

"Of course, if it is successfully developed, I will not forget your kindness in reminding me, Harvey Ambellaca."

Tony Stark spoke up upon hearing this.

"These are nothing serious."

Harvey looked at Tony Stark and smiled as he spoke.

Although Tony Stark has always been narcissistic and arrogant, and often says hurtful things, his strong sense of right and wrong has always been one of his strengths.

Even if Tony Stark doesn't say it, he will remember the kindness the other person showed him.

Given the chance, Tony Stark will find a way to repay that debt of gratitude.

So Harvey didn't mind giving Tony Stark a little pointer.

After all, once a friendly friendship is established, Tony Stark will be a very good friend.

Chapter 30 A Rare Opportunity

“Harvey Ambellaca, can you answer a question for me?”

Tony Stark then looked at Harvey, hesitated for a moment, and spoke.

Tell me about it, and I'll think about it.

Harvey's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and he did not immediately agree.

"After you treated me last time, my health improved several times over."

"Not only did I look a few years younger, but my physical fitness also improved a lot."

"Could that superpower make me look younger, yet still improve my physical abilities?"

Tony Stark's eyes darted around as he spoke.

Since that treatment, Tony Stark has been able to clearly feel a huge change in his body.

His five senses became more acute, and his strength and stamina were significantly enhanced.

Although the speed of the burst is not at the limit of human physical strength, it is still far beyond that of ordinary people.

If he were to work through the night for several days in a row without taking a proper rest, his 38-year-old body would have given out long ago.

However, after the treatment, he only needs to sleep three to four hours a day to eliminate any fatigue and maintain a high level of energy.

Moreover, his mind is more agile than before, which is why he has been able to continuously update and iterate the Iron Man armor in just two months.

Most importantly, two months have passed.

Tony Stark did not experience any side effects on his body.

This made him realize that Harvey Ambellaca's abilities were definitely not just about healing and reversing aging.

Instead, it can directly help people strengthen their bodies, and this strengthening is not just a short-term process.

Last time, Harvey Ambella helped him heal and incidentally strengthened his body, which enabled him to easily jump more than two meters high.

If Harvey Ambellaca wasn't just helping him with treatment and casual enhancements, but genuinely wanted to further strengthen his body...

He wouldn't need to specifically develop gene-based drugs and then conduct experiments that go against human nature.

“Tony Stark, didn’t I just tell you that you often have to pay a price to get something?”

"So your idea of ​​having the best of both worlds is impossible."

Upon hearing this, Harvey already knew that Tony Stark had developed a desire for power, and slowly said.

However, it's clearly impossible for Tony Stark to have a more powerful body while maintaining his current appearance so that no one can tell that his body has changed.

Even Harvey himself couldn't do it, ever since he awakened the system and gained abilities from the void.

Three years have passed, and his appearance hasn't changed much since he became an adult.

Harvey believes that his appearance will not change, not only in the past three years, but also in the past ten, fifty, or even a hundred years.

The power of the void caused his life form to separate from humanity.

The fact that his body is extraordinary will eventually be revealed, even if he tries to hide it.

However, even if he were exposed by then, his power had evolved to the point where he was fearless of everything, so he wouldn't care too much.

Is there really no way at all?

Tony Stark said with some disappointment.

“Tony Stark, I think I told you this before.”

"My power is not a superpower, but it is a power that is beyond your comprehension. You can think of it as a kind of superpower."

Harvey responded calmly upon hearing this.

"If it's not a superpower, then what kind of power is it?"

Tony Stark asked, somewhat puzzled.

"While your current strength has not yet surpassed the limits of humanity, it has given you extraordinary physical abilities."

"This should be enough for someone with just an average physical condition, right?"

"If you want to improve further, then not only will your physical abilities begin to deviate from the realm of common sense."

"Your lifespan will also be the same, at least several hundred years, or even a thousand years or longer."

"I can help you, and I can even give you power you never dared to dream of."

"After all, this is just something I do casually."

"But are you sure you're mentally prepared?"

Harvey glanced at Tony Stark upon hearing this and spoke slowly.

"Can I also possess powerful and incredible strength without relying on technology, just like you?"

Tony Stark's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Harvey Ambellaca's words, and he spoke with a hint of disbelief.

"You may possess incredible power, but you are unlikely to reach my level."

"I won't explain the reason, but if you really want to, you'll understand once you've mastered it."

Harvey didn't try to hide the question; instead, he shook his head.

He didn't know what abilities Tony Stark would gain after embracing and joining the Void.

His power, now evolved 283 times, is already terrifying.

But this is just the beginning for him, so it's impossible for Tony Stark to catch up with him.

"..."

Tony Stark fell into deep thought upon hearing these words.

Having superhuman strength makes one appear very impressive to others, such as top athletes who break records time and time again.

It inspires admiration rather than fear in people.

However, once a power transcends the realm of human common sense, it will be seen as an anomaly by others, who will feel a sense of fear towards you.

He wanted Harvey to help him improve his physique, but he didn't want his body and appearance to look too young, so that others would know he was an oddball.

That's why he asked Harvey Ambellaca that question, and the response he received was that it was impossible.

To have a long lifespan and power far beyond what ordinary people can comprehend is something countless people dream of.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many imaginative and fantastical movies and animations.

Now that this opportunity to gain the power of fantasy has presented itself to him, Tony Stark hesitates.

Once he gets her, Pepper, whom he greatly admires and trusts, might start to look at him strangely.

Moreover, a lifespan of several hundred years or even longer sounds wonderful.

But as time goes by, he remains young while those around him grow old and die.

Tony Stark felt sad just thinking about that scene.

But if I refuse this time, I might miss an opportunity to completely change my life.

“Harvey Ambellaca, thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

"But could you give me some more time to think it over carefully?"

Therefore, Tony Stark looked at Harvey Ambella and said apologetically.

"If you are really mentally prepared, you can bring it up again, and I will consider it then."

Harvey didn't press Tony Stark, neither explicitly agreeing nor explicitly refusing.
