Change of Heart

When Harvey finished eating and walked out, he saw Stark standing on the steps in front of the venue entrance, his expression appearing somewhat sad.

"I told you, trust your gut."

Harvey walked past Tony Stark and said.

"You're right, but Obadiah watched me grow up."

"Even if my intuition says so, until I see him actively show malice towards me, I can't bring myself to firmly conclude that he's the one who did it."

Tony Stark fell silent for a moment upon hearing Harvey's tone, which seemed to have foreseen everything, before speaking.

But when he had gone to question Obadiah Stane just now, the response he received was that Obadiah Stane wanted to remove him from the board of directors.

It could be said that Obadiah Stane had already revealed his ambition to seize control of Stark Industries from him.

He didn't know when Obadiah Stane had this idea, but the best way to seize power was to eliminate him.

He was demonstrating his technological weapons to the military in Afghanistan. Normally, those people in Afghanistan wouldn't have known he was there and set up an ambush in advance.

Therefore, Tony Stark didn't believe it was a spontaneous attack by those terrorists against the American military; it was definitely a premeditated action.

Thus, he had been pondering and suspecting who had sold out his itinerary.

He never expected it to actually be Obadiah Stane.

Although Harvey hadn't personally experienced it, he understood that the feeling of being betrayed by someone you considered family wouldn't be easy to accept.

"Once you've confirmed your enemy, don't be merciful anymore."

"Otherwise, after some things happen, it will be too late."

Therefore, Harvey merely offered another reminder, without saying any words of comfort.

Hearing Harvey Anberaka's reminder, Tony Stark seemed to see through his inner struggle at the moment, his eyes flickering.

Although he had many questions, he didn't ask anything this time.

Even though Harvey Anberaka was very mysterious and seemed to know everything.

However, what was certain was that they were not enemies. At least, for now, Harvey Anberaka had not shown any intention to harm him.

Originally, Tony Stark intended to find Obadiah Stane's weakness before taking action.

But Harvey Anberaka's reminder just now had made Tony Stark make his decision.

Tony Stark also left the venue and went directly back to Stark Mansion.

Harvey also returned home. The enormous Evolution Points from the meal just now allowed Harvey to undergo his 265th evolution.

Purple light enveloped Harvey's body, and after a short period.

Harvey's Void Skin had successfully evolved for the forty-sixth time.

Harvey decided to evolve his Void Skin to one hundred times before evolving in other directions.

After all, many heroes in the Marvel World had bodies that weren't very durable, but their attacks were very strong.

If he wanted to survive safely, then physical toughness was the most important thing.

As long as he wasn't killed in one hit, he could always make a comeback.

Originally, Harvey didn't plan to overly influence Tony Stark, but he decided to remind Tony Stark this time because he had already figured things out.

Besides Tony Stark's critical turning point of surviving a near-death experience and becoming Iron Man, other minor matters could probably be influenced appropriately.

Obadiah Stane's ultimate fate would be dealt with by Tony Stark.

From then on, without the influence of others, Tony Stark would completely control the future direction of Stark Industries.

If he couldn't influence anything other than the critical nodes, and if just a few words of his reminder would cause this universe to deviate from the main universe, then luring Tony Stark to believe in the Void later would also cause this place to deviate from the main universe.

This was also what Harvey had figured out, which was why he went to the party.

Moreover, even if the universe he was currently in was not the main universe, it would only affect some of his future plans and would not affect his safety.

Currently, as long as he didn't openly preach about the Void and provoke the Ancient One and Odin, he could act as he pleased.

Harvey felt the power within him and began to adapt in the basement.

Void Skin not only directly enhanced his physical defense but also strengthened his power.

Although the increase was not as significant as directly evolving active skills, it was still a subtle and continuous increase in his strength.

This was also why Harvey was currently enthusiastic about improving his Void Skin.

Of course, mental resistance also needed to be improved, but there was no need to rush too much for now. After all, he would only face enemies with magic when confronting mages at the level of Scarlet Witch Wanda.

And there was no need to be too afraid. Even if the opponent's magic was very strong, they wouldn't have the qualification to fight him head-on.

Because before they could make a move, he could emerge from the darkness and silently heavily injure or even kill them.

Harvey had spent over three billion USD this time. After deducting some fixed assets, he only had one hundred million USD in liquid funds.

So Harvey casually opened the black web, wanting to take on a few jobs to earn some extra cash.

Harvey took a look and found only small jobs ranging from one to two million USD left.

These were escort missions that required protection for a week or half a month to complete.

These types of jobs were often favored by mercenary groups.

Escorting meant there was time to set up defenses and then eliminate the enemies.

Therefore, a million USD per week was not a small sum.

However, for Harvey, the time spent on these small jobs could be better used by eating more and striving to evolve a few more times sooner.

Finding no lucrative missions for plundering or annihilation worth over five million USD, Harvey closed the black web and headed to the basement to begin his daily training.

Meanwhile, Harvey Anberaka's gluttonous feasting at the Stark Industries charity gala...

While it didn't spread throughout all of New York, it did circulate secretly among the city's upper class.

This caused many of New York's elite to hear about it, feeling disdain while also harboring some envy.

Due to years of enjoying a life of luxury, their appetites had become increasingly discerning; they would only taste a few bites of many foods before losing interest.

Most of the upper-class men were the ones who looked down on Harvey Anberaka.

However, some of the upper-class women developed a strong interest in Harvey Anberaka, who had such an excellent appetite.

Previously, Harvey Anberaka didn't attend many parties, so even if they were interested and wanted to find him, they had no excuse.

But now, things were different. Harvey Anberaka had started appearing at some of the parties hosted by the elite.

Although Harvey Anberaka had only attended Stark Industries' charity gala so far, this was already a signal.

They could try inviting him in the future; who knew, maybe he would come.
