Who are you?

As soon as Tony Stark spoke, Coulson, standing nearby, felt a stir in his heart and looked towards Harvey Anberaka.

It was precisely because of this sharp, almost prophetic insight that their S.H.I.E.L.D. had targeted Harvey Anberaka.

If Harvey Anberaka had made a mistake even once, they wouldn't have suspected anything, but Harvey Anberaka had never failed.

This time, Tony Stark's sudden announcement to stop manufacturing weapons was a drastic downturn.

"Why should I be heartbroken?"

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

"The terrible news you announced today will cause Stark Industries' stock to plummet."

"It just proves that my actions were wise."

Harvey, facing Tony Stark's probing, maintained his smile and replied.

"You're saying you sold your stocks long ago?"

Tony Stark said this, finding it hard to believe.

As Coulson heard this, he immediately took out a tablet and checked it.

He discovered that within a month before Tony Stark went missing, Harvey Anberaka had sold his stocks in batches at almost the highest price, unloading stocks worth 1.13 billion USD.

Before Tony Stark's announcement today that he would stop producing weapons, Stark Industries' stock had been on a steady upward trend.

Anyone who bought and held Stark Industries' stock could, without exaggeration, earn money just by lying down every day.

Yet, Harvey Anberaka had chosen to exit. This transaction allowed Harvey Anberaka to profit at least another 300 million USD.

This made Coulson look at Harvey Anberaka with disbelief.

Who exactly was this person? Did he have superpowers, or did he truly possess such extraordinary, sharp insight?

However, upon remembering the purpose of him stopping Harvey Anberaka, Coulson felt at ease.

"Over the past year, the stock has risen by quite a few percentage points, and I've received a good amount in dividends. I felt I had earned enough, so I sold my shares."

Harvey Anberaka, facing Tony Stark's incredulous gaze, spread his hands and said with a smile.

Tony Stark also noticed the person who had come with Harvey and had been checking information earlier.

Now, hearing these seemingly casual words and seeing Harvey Anberaka looking relaxed and pleased.

If he hadn't suddenly announced a production halt today, Stark Industries' stock would still be on a booming trend.

A normal person would continue to invest, expecting it to go higher, but Harvey Anberaka had managed to get out before this?

"No wonder everyone else is so agitated, but you look completely unfazed, even a little happy."

"But how long can your sheer luck last?"

Tony Stark looked at Harvey Anberaka, his words still carrying a hint of doubt.

Indeed, in Tony Stark's eyes, Harvey Anberaka's rapid rise was nothing but sheer luck.

"Hahaha~ Tony Stark, you really don't hold back."

"In terms of wealth, I'm still far from matching you."

"In terms of intelligence, I can't compare to your genius scientist's mind."

"Whether you see what I've done as sheer luck or something else entirely."

"It doesn't change the fact that I'm making money, does it?"

Harvey, hearing this, did not get angry. He said with a smile.

"So, why did you come to my press conference today?"

"To brag about your foresight?"

Tony Stark looked at Harvey Anberaka, whose smile was exceptionally bright, and for some reason felt a surge of annoyance, asking.

Coulson also looked at Harvey Anberaka. To be honest, he was also very curious why Harvey Anberaka, who never attended formal events, had suddenly shown up at Tony Stark's press conference today.

"Brag about my foresight? I never thought of that."

"I just came to see you because you mysteriously disappeared for a few months."

"Can you tell me where you came back from?"

"So that I can avoid that place when I go out for vacations in the future."

Harvey shook his head, smiling calmly.

"Afghanistan."

Tony Stark's expression and tone softened considerably when he heard it wasn't to brag, and he uttered a name.

"Afghanistan, where terrorists gather? You really went to an incredible place."

Harvey showed a bit of surprise.

"Yes, but even if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't go to a place like that, would you?"

"After all, your business scope is merely mediocre real estate and the stock market. You haven't created anything uniquely yours to increase your wealth."

Harvey's surprised expression pleased Tony Stark. His words were still grating, but they did highlight Harvey's current lack of profitable ventures.

"Right now, it's real estate and the stock market, but that might not be the case in the future."

"Perhaps you'll need me someday, need my help, who knows."

Harvey didn't mind Tony Stark's slightly mocking words, instead responding with a smile.

"Need you?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Tony Stark first looked at Harvey with doubt, then he laughed, his tone decisive.

"Don't be so absolute. After all, a genius like you has repeatedly created epoch-making, cutting-edge technology."

"Doesn't that imply anything is possible?"

Seeing Tony Stark's arrogant demeanor, Harvey poked his own chest with his index finger and said calmly.

Coulson wasn't surprised to hear about cutting-edge technology, as Tony Stark's intellect was undoubtedly world-renowned.

Tony Stark, however, saw Harvey's gesture and heard his words, his eyes narrowing.

The fact that he had a nuclear reactor on his chest was something only the deceased Yinsen and Colonel Rhodey knew.

He was certain Rhodey hadn't interacted with Harvey Anberaka, so how did Harvey Anberaka know?

"Who exactly are you?"

Tony Stark's expression shifted, and he looked at Harvey with a grave expression.

"Harvey Anberaka, the guy you called lucky."

Harvey didn't answer the question, instead responding to Tony Stark based on Tony's earlier impression of him.

"I think we'll have dealings in the future, so let's leave it at that for now."

With that, Harvey stood up and walked out.

Coulson had no idea what had gone wrong in Harvey Anberaka and Tony Stark's conversation to cause such a sudden shift in Tony's attitude.

However, Coulson didn't want to let Harvey Anberaka get away; he wanted to have a detailed chat with him.

"Mr. Tony Stark, I'm Coulson, an agent from S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I'd like to inquire about your successful escape from Afghanistan."

"But you seem to be busy right now, so I'll visit you another time."

Coulson politely introduced himself to Tony Stark and placed his business card on the table.

He wanted Tony Stark to remember him, to facilitate their next meeting.

Then, Coulson immediately followed Harvey out.

Tony Stark watched Harvey Anberaka leave, his eyes flickering.

He couldn't quite figure Harvey Anberaka out, but he now knew that Obadiah Stane was definitely looking for him.

He also wanted to discuss his current thoughts with Obadiah Stane.
