"You're not heading back so soon, are you?"

"I haven't even shown you my Iron Man armor yet."

Tony said as he walked, suddenly remembering.

New York nights weren't exactly peaceful, but Harvey Anberaka probably didn't need to fear them.

So he directly tried to persuade Harvey to stay a bit longer.

"Then you'll have to prepare a hundred servings of late-night snacks for me."

Harvey didn't refuse upon hearing this, only stating his condition for staying longer.

"Aren't you just about to have dinner?"

"And you still want late-night snacks?"

"Or is this some kind of consequence from... that?"

Tony Stark asked, hearing that Harvey was already thinking about late-night snacks before even eating dinner.

"Something like that."

Harvey nodded slightly at his words.

Harvey couldn't guarantee what changes would occur after Tony Stark joined the Void.

However, Tony Stark's appetite in the future would definitely not be small, so he wanted to leave a slight impression on Tony Stark in advance.

This would also allow Tony Stark to accept it better when the time came.

"What did you two talk about?"

Pepper asked curiously as she saw Tony and Harvey Anberaka walking over.

"We had a deep discussion about the future of Earth, and my technological achievements."

Tony replied casually.

"That excuse again..."

Pepper said speechlessly, hearing these familiar words.

"I'm not lying to you, we really did have a deep discussion about Earth's future."

Tony paused for a moment, then said earnestly.

"I know, I know, your topics are always the same few things."

"Beautiful women, fine wine, sports cars, technology, the future."

Pepper rolled her eyes and said.

"To correct you, it's not just talking."

"With our status, this isn't just talking; it's something we can truly participate in and change."

Tony corrected earnestly.

While Tony was bickering with Pepper, Harvey had already arrived at the dining table and began eating.

As Tony Stark and Pepper chatted, they noticed Harvey Anberaka eating with elegant manners, rapidly consuming the dishes before him.

"I've heard the rumors, but seeing it with my own eyes, I still find it hard to believe."

Pepper said in shock, watching the plates pile up madly while Harvey's eating speed showed no signs of slowing down.

"Even though it's hard to believe, it's the truth..."

Tony touched his chest and said.

"Mhm, but Tony, why do I feel like you've gotten a lot younger?"

Pepper nodded, then looked at Tony and asked.

"It's probably because I'm in such a good mood right now?"

Tony replied casually, not paying it much mind.

The shrapnel in his body had been directly removed, and the palladium poisoning in his system had also been cleared.

Although if he continued to use the Arc Reactor and pilot the Iron Man armor, he would eventually suffer from palladium poisoning again.

However, with Harvey Anberaka around, he no longer had to worry about the poisoning problem, completely removing any future concerns.

Harvey heard this, glanced at Tony Stark, and said nothing.

"No, the wrinkles on your face are gone, look for yourself."

Pepper said, bringing a mirror and handing it to Tony Stark.

"..."

Tony Stark looked at himself in the mirror. He seemed to have aged a few years, his appearance resembling when he had just turned thirty.

"Did you develop some new technology?"

Pepper asked Tony very seriously.

Tony was thirty-eight, not exactly young anymore. While his hair hadn't turned gray, his face naturally bore some wrinkles.

Yet, Tony now looked several years younger, his skin appearing more delicate and handsome.

Knowing how to maintain a youthful appearance was a problem every adult woman worried about.

Pepper, being a woman, naturally wanted to know how this was achieved.

Naturally, Pepper's first suspicion was that Tony Stark had developed some new technology, as that was Tony's forte.

"I'm not a geneticist or a pharmacologist, how could I possibly develop a potion to maintain youth or even return to youth?"

Tony Stark shook his head upon hearing this and said directly.

"Then why are your wrinkles gone?"

Pepper examined Tony upon hearing this, very eager to know the real situation.

"I don't know either."

Tony Stark also shook his head in confusion, looking like he had no idea.

Immediately after, Tony Stark glanced at Harvey Anberaka, who was furiously devouring food.

Although he didn't know what Harvey Anberaka had done, his body had undergone some changes, and it was definitely related to Harvey Anberaka.

"I have some things to attend to downstairs."

"Pepper, don't come down. I'll tell you what I need to tell you."

"When I don't want to tell you, don't pry."

Immediately after, Tony thought of something, instructed Pepper, and then headed towards the underground research lab.

Before going down, Tony stood at the entrance of the stairs and glanced at Harvey Anberaka.

When he saw that Harvey Anberaka wasn't paying attention to his actions, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Pepper, seeing Tony about to go down again and telling her not to follow, acted as she pleased, which made her feel a bit stifled.

Tony Stark had just entered his underground research lab.

"Jarvis, scan my body."

"And compare it with my previous body."

Tony Stark instructed immediately.

Jarvis heard the instruction and a red light scanned him directly.

"Sir, it's detected that the activity of the cells in your body has been strengthened, making your body stronger."

"And you are currently not troubled by any diseases. Compared to your body yesterday, you are six years younger."

"Based on your cells, you are now equivalent to your thirty-two-year-old self."

"It's like a reversal of aging."

After Jarvis scanned him, he released two 3D projections to explain the situation.

"Reversal of aging?"

"Harvey Anberaka, what exactly did you do to me..."

Tony Stark looked at himself in the 3D projection. His facial model appeared even younger. Hearing these words, he finally truly realized the changes in his body.

Harvey Anberaka not only removed the shrapnel from him and cleared the palladium elements accumulated in his body, but also made him younger.

Tony Stark knew that humans had always been researching lifespan and genes.

Yet, for so long, humans still couldn't deal with or treat many diseases, let alone research effective potions and methods to extend human lifespan.

But now Harvey Anberaka not only directly cured the diseases in his body but also enhanced his cells and made him younger?

What kind of superpower was this? It completely exceeded Tony Stark's cognition.

If Harvey Anberaka were to spread this method of reversing aging, even at an exorbitant price, he didn't know how many wealthy people would want to become young again.

This favor was much greater than he had imagined.

"Sir, it's difficult for me to explain this to you. Perhaps it would be easier for you to understand if you saw it yourself."

Jarvis heard Tony's words and directly released a video projection.

Tony watched the projection and noticed that the time displayed at the bottom of the video was not long, only about one minute.

Tony saw himself shaking hands with Harvey Anberaka, and then he fell into a coma.

Immediately after, Tony saw Harvey Anberaka's finger directly cut open his chest.

Harvey Anberaka's finger, which looked like it had nothing on it, even like an ordinary finger, transformed into an extremely sharp surgical knife at that moment.

It directly cut open his skin, and then Harvey Anberaka's hand released a large amount of purple, thread-like material that directly penetrated his chest and entered his heart.

The purple threads accurately and swiftly removed the shrapnel from his body.

Within ten seconds, his skin healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After completing all this, Harvey Anberaka stood aside.

Harvey Anberaka seemed to ponder for a moment before lying his body flat on the ground.

The video ended with him waking up. After watching it, Tony Stark couldn't help but rest his chin on his hand.

"This is just a small trick...?"

Tony Stark's mind replayed every word he had spoken with Harvey Anberaka, murmuring in disbelief.

The unknown healing ability Harvey Anberaka had displayed, along with his hands, sharp as blades, were already extraordinary.

And this might just be the tip of the iceberg for Harvey Anberaka.

Tony Stark couldn't even imagine how many more abilities Harvey Anberaka could reveal.

Despite being a super genius, his perspective was still limited to the known scope of humanity. Superpowers were a realm he had never understood.

"Jarvis, destroy the image recording of my conversation with Harvey Anberaka tonight, along with this video."

After a while, Tony Stark calmed himself down and issued the instruction.

"Sir, this is extremely valuable data. Are you sure you want to destroy it? Instead of saving it to a private server?"

Jarvis inquired upon hearing the instruction.

Although it was an artificial intelligence, it knew that the content discussed tonight was incredibly precious footage.

"Destroy it. Leave no record behind."

"Otherwise, if what happened tonight gets out by accident, it will only bring about unimaginable disaster."

Tony said earnestly.

Although Tony was very confident in his technology, he couldn't guarantee that his servers and systems wouldn't be hacked.

If they were hacked and someone saw the footage from tonight, it would not only bring trouble to Harvey Anberaka but could also make him responsible for the deaths of others.

"Understood, proceeding with destruction."

Jarvis immediately began the destruction process upon receiving the instruction.

The third update is here, this is the first update.
