I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Chapter 9 Don't you feel any heartache?

Soon, Tony Stark, with bandages on his hands, arrived at the podium under the protection of his bodyguard Happy Hogan.

"Everyone, please sit down, okay? That way you can all see me."

"I can order whatever I want now."

Although Tony Stark was injured and looked unwell, his mouth remained as casual as ever.

As soon as these words were spoken, almost all the reporters and other visitors present sat down.

Tony Stark sat at the front of the stage and saw Harvey Ambellaca standing out prominently at the back.

Although we have never officially met, there have been quite a few rumors about Harvey Ambellaca in recent years.

So Tony Stark had heard of this guy, and his identity was quite easy to remember; he was one of the few Asian billionaires in New York.

In his opinion, Harvey Ambellaca was just a guy who got rich by sheer luck and had no real talent.

So he only remembered Harvey Ambellaca to a certain extent.

Although the other party is not as rich as I am, he is undoubtedly a wealthy person. It is not hard to guess the other party's intention. He may want to talk about investment.

When faced with Tony Stark's gaze, Harvey simply smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

If it were the old Tony Stark, he would definitely have spoken with Harvey Ambellaca after the official press conference.

Let's see if this guy is really here to invest. But Tony Stark has just been through that incident and is injured, so he doesn't have that much energy.

He also knew what he was about to announce.

Tony Stark didn't care about the impact it would have on Stark Industries' stock.

Then, Tony Stark began his speech, recounting a classic moment that is remembered by countless people.

"Therefore, I am prepared to close Stark International's weapons manufacturing division as soon as possible."

When Tony Stark decided that Stark Industries would abandon the arms industry, it immediately caused a huge uproar and attracted various questions.

Stan, the bald man next to Tony Stark, was forcing a smile.

When Harvey saw this all-too-familiar scene, a smile appeared on his face.

All of this was so familiar that he was now 90% certain that this was the main Marvel universe.

Tony Stark had just noticed that Harvey Ambella seemed completely unsurprised by his sudden announcement of wanting to shut down the weapons manufacturing division; in fact, he seemed pleased.

If he remembered correctly, this Harvey Ambellaca had also bought Stark Industries stock, and the amount was no less than at least $500 million.

But Harvey Ambellaca showed no signs of disbelief or anger at the impending sharp drop in stock prices.

Why is that? Tony Stark was also puzzled.

But just as Tony Stark was thinking, he noticed that Harvey Ambella had turned around and seemed to be leaving.

"Colonel Rhodes, stop him. I want to talk to him."

Upon seeing this, Tony Stark immediately shouted.

"Stop which one?"

Although Rhodes didn't understand Tony Stark's behavior, he didn't refuse when he heard his good friend's words, but he was a little confused as to who Tony wanted him to stop.

“That Harvey Ambellaca.”

Tony Stark quickly said.

And when Tony Stark wanted Rhodes to do something.

Coulson had already reached Harvey.

“Mr. Harvey Amberaka, I am an agent of the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency.”

"Can we talk?"

Coulson asked with a polite smile.

"You're in cahoots with that crazy woman. I've been hiding for so long, and you're still haunting me?"

Harvey saw Coulson stop him and heard his words without any politeness.

“Mr. Harvey Ambellaca, it was just a misunderstanding. We meant no harm.”

"We just want to get some information from you."

"I can assure you, I will never hurt you like that crazy woman did."

"And I wasn't carrying any firearms."

Coulson had also heard about the FBI's questioning of their department, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He patted his chest, pockets, and trouser legs to indicate that he was not carrying any dangerous weapons.

"What exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

Harvey knew that if he forced his way out, it would only arouse more suspicion, so he looked at Coulson with some doubt and spoke.

"This is not the place to talk."

"If it's convenient, you can choose a place where you feel safe but there aren't too many outsiders."

"I can guarantee that I will not harm a single hair on your head."

Their Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency is currently in dire need of assistance, and the Avengers have made no progress whatsoever.

Therefore, Coulson doesn't want to give up on anyone who has a certain probability of possessing superpowers.

There were reasons why Harvey Ambellaca was being targeted, but Natasha had acted too hastily and recklessly that time.

So Coulson wanted to talk to Harvey Ambella again to see if he could make any progress.

"You guys seem busy?"

“I am Tony Stark.”

“Harvey Ambellaca, although this is our first time meeting, I think you must have heard of me, just as I have heard of you.”

"Shall we find a place to talk?"

"It won't take up too much of your time, my time is just as precious."

At this moment, Tony Stark saw the two men talking at the front door. Without Rhodes stopping him, he walked up and greeted them naturally.

However, his words revealed an undeniable arrogance and haughtiness.

"can."

When Harvey saw that Tony Stark had actually approached him, his eyes flashed, and he agreed.

"Then come with me."

Tony Stark saw that Harvey Ambella had neither refused nor was surprised; he simply said something casually and then walked away.

He took Harvey Ambellaca and Coulson, who had come along, to a room next to the press conference venue.

“Harvey Ambellaca, as far as I know, you have bought a lot of Stark Industries stock in the past two years.”

"Based on the current market value of Stark Industries, it is estimated to be worth around one billion US dollars."

"Rumor has it that you always make money when buying stocks, never lose money."

"But the news I announced today will likely cause your wealth to decline significantly."

"But you didn't seem surprised or angry at all; on the contrary, you seemed quite happy."

"Won't you feel heartbroken if your wealth drops drastically from now on?"

Tony Stark poured himself a glass of water and asked tentatively.

It's worth noting that his luxurious Stark Estate cost tens of millions of US dollars to build.

A billion US dollars is an enormous fortune that most people can only dream of in their lifetime.

If such a large sum of money were to shrink by more than half, most people simply couldn't bear it, and might even experience a sudden and drastic change, causing them to faint.

Chapter 10 Who exactly are you?

Tony Stark's words made Coulson, who was standing to the side, think and look at Harvey Ambella.

It was precisely because of this sharp, almost prophetic vision that the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency set its sights on Harvey Amberaka.

If Harvey Ambellaca made a mistake even once, they wouldn't doubt him, but Harvey Ambellaca has never made a mistake.

Tony Stark's sudden announcement that he would stop making weapons was a major shock.

"What do I have to be heartbroken about?"

"I sold all my stocks more than two months ago."

"The terrible news you announced today has caused Stark Industries stock to plummet."

"This only proves that my actions were a smart move."

Despite Tony Stark's probing, Harvey maintained his smile and spoke.

"You're saying you sold them a long time ago?"

Tony Stark said incredulously upon hearing these words.

Upon hearing these words, Coulson immediately took out a tablet and examined it.

It was discovered that Harvey Ambellaca had sold off his stock holdings, worth $1.13 billion, in batches at near-peak prices a month before Tony Stark's disappearance.

Prior to Tony Stark's announcement today that he would be ceasing arms production, Stark Industries' stock had been steadily rising.

It's no exaggeration to say that if you buy and hold Stark Industries stock, you can make money every day just by lying down.

However, Harvey Ambellaca chose to withdraw from the deal, and this buy-and-sell transaction allowed him to profit at least another $300 million.

This made Coulson look at Harvey Ambella in disbelief.

Who exactly is this person? Is it a superpower or does he/she truly possess such extraordinary and discerning insight?

However, Coulson felt relieved when he thought about his purpose in stopping Harvey Ambella.

"Over the past year, the stock has risen by a significant percentage and I've received substantial dividends. I felt I had earned enough, so I naturally sold it."
