Reasons to Make Money

Tony Stark ate a huge pile of food, and the more he ate, the stronger the power surging through his body became.

The sensation was intoxicating, but then Tony Stark suddenly realized that all the food was gone.

"I remember preparing lunch for at least a hundred people to invite you."

"Where did all my food go?"

Tony Stark froze for a moment.

"What did you think I was doing just now?"

Faced with the question, Harvey patted his still-flat stomach and asked in return.

"Jarvis, prepare more food for me—enough for at least four hundred people."

"Today, I'm hosting Harvey Anberaka."

Once Tony Stark learned that the food was gone, he did not mind at all and said with a smile.

He would remember Harvey Anberaka's warning: devouring living creatures would allow him to evolve faster, but he would never try it, even if it meant evolving more slowly.

After all, he no longer had only the short century-long lifespan of a human.

He had plenty of time to grow stronger, do what he liked, and fully unleash his talents.

"Certainly, sir. I'll make the arrangements right away."

Jarvis immediately agreed upon receiving the instruction.

Although it would be difficult to find chefs to cook for him on the first day of the New Year, let alone prepare so much food at once, he would surely find people if he paid enough.

"Harvey Anberaka, could you share some insights about evolution with me?"

Then Tony Stark looked at Harvey and asked.

"To be honest, I can't serve as a reference for you, because you and I are different. You may not understand that yet, but you'll understand soon enough."

"That difference does not mean you have some kind of flaw. You also possess a long lifespan."

"It's just that I don't know what abilities you will ultimately gain, or how powerful you will become."

"You'll have to spend time discovering all that for yourself."

Hearing that Tony intended to treat him to a massive meal, Harvey had no immediate plans to leave. He sat down on the sofa and spoke.

"I understand that you can't be a reference for me."

"I just want you to tell me a few things you've learned."

"And besides me, has anyone else joined the Void?"

"If I could talk with others, perhaps it could speed up my..."

As Tony Stark spoke, he walked toward the sofa.

However, when Tony Stark sat down, he failed to control his strength.

Tony Stark crushed the sofa beneath him, and his body sank straight into it.

"What the hell!?"

Tony Stark cried out. He felt no pain, only utter disbelief.

"There's no need to make such a fuss. You're only just getting started."

"You need to learn to control your own strength, so aside from doing research every day—"

"You also need to set aside time to control your power. Otherwise, one careless mistake could cause some damage."

"As for companions, at present, no other living creature besides you has joined the Void and become your companion."

"But there will be more and more in the future. When that happens, you can exchange insights about your respective paths of evolution."

Harvey slowly explained as he watched Tony Stark shout in shock.

"So that means I'm the first?"

Tony Stark struggled out of the sofa and stood up. Hearing this news, he pointed at his own face and asked in disbelief.

Harvey nodded at that.

"Thank you for recognizing me, Harvey Anberaka."

Tony Stark understood and thanked him again.

Harvey Anberaka had said that some geniuses who left their mark on history had been unable to further display their talents because of the limits of their lifespans.

That meant that, in Harvey Anberaka's eyes, he met the standard of a genius capable of leaving his mark on history.

Even without Harvey Anberaka's approval and appreciation, Tony himself believed that his inventions would leave a bold mark on history.

But after receiving this opportunity, things were different. He could spend far more time writing his own history and story.

"Although I gave you this opportunity, you don't need to be so reserved. Just talk to me normally.

"It's only natural that you want to find others like yourself to exchange insights about evolution."

"Although I can't be a reference for your evolution, I can tell you what foods to eat and what things to do to speed it up."

Harvey spoke after hearing that.

"Then tell me already."

Tony Stark heard that they could speak normally, so he stopped being overly polite. With nowhere suitable to sit, he remained standing.

In Tony Stark's heart, Harvey Anberaka was the embodiment of the Void Will.

For some reason, Harvey Anberaka was currently staying on Blue Star, but this gave him the chance to directly ask the will of the Void questions.

Naturally, Tony Stark would not let such an opportunity slip away.

"There are two paths of evolution in the Void. One is to continuously evolve through absorption and devouring, while the other is to adapt to one's environment and undergo different forms of evolution."

"The stronger the creature was while it was alive, the more it can accelerate your evolution once it becomes food."

"For example, cows, bears, tigers, leopards, and some large fish in the deep sea. Relatively powerful animals on Blue Star possess more life energy."

"But if you don't want animal protection organizations watching you and causing trouble, then it's best not to eat protected animals."

"Just eat beef and pork. They can also provide considerable energy for your evolution."

Harvey patiently explained.

Since he had brought Tony Stark into the Void, he naturally did not want Tony Stark to ultimately turn into a mindless Void creature.

Although Tony Stark might become even stronger after losing his mind, without reason, everything would be meaningless.

Therefore, Harvey Anberaka intended to clearly explain the important points to Tony Stark.

"No wonder you wanted to make money."

Tony Stark was thoughtful after hearing Harvey's words.

Given how much Harvey Anberaka ate, if he did not have some spare cash in his pocket, he could only go around robbing people.

It was not as if he could not rob people, but if he did, Harvey Anberaka would not have been able to hide his identity so well.

Although Harvey Anberaka had now been exposed to S.H.I.E.L.D., if S.H.I.E.L.D. had any sense after meeting a demon-like Harvey Anberaka, they would not dare expose him.

"Exactly. I make money so I can eat what I want without drawing attention and enjoy life a little."

Harvey did not deliberately hide it and replied with a smile.
