Before long, two All-Beef Feasts were delivered to the front gate. The payment had already been transferred, so the delivery workers left quickly after dropping them off.
Tony and Harvey each pushed their own enormous cart of food inside.
The moment Tony pushed his cart in, he immediately shut the gate.
Although he had prepared himself mentally to be seen as an outcast by others, he had only just joined the Void. It was better to stay hidden for as long as he could.
After that, Tony Stark paid no further attention to Harvey Anberaka. He grabbed the meat with his hands and began feasting heartily.
A single cow was enough to feed many people, but under Tony Stark's astonishing appetite, it vanished at a visible rate.
Life energy continuously filled and strengthened Tony Stark's cells.
He had only just joined the Void, and his body was still very weak, so every bit of energy brought about noticeable changes.
In just fifteen minutes, Tony Stark finished an entire cow.
After finishing, Tony Stark felt the growing strength within him, and both body and mind were filled with delight.
However, after wolfing down the food, the corners of Tony Stark's mouth were covered in grease and sauce.
Just as Tony Stark was about to wash his face, he suddenly noticed Harvey Anberaka a few meters away, dining elegantly and nearly finished as well.
More importantly, he noticed that not a trace of grease had gotten onto Harvey Anberaka's face or clothes.
"How are you eating almost as fast as me without just grabbing it with your hands?"
After comparing himself to Harvey Anberaka, Tony looked at him with a strange expression.
"Practice makes perfect."
Harvey swallowed the meat in his mouth and replied with a smile.
"Looks like I need to learn properly."
Tony Stark looked himself over after hearing that, then headed straight for the bathroom.
Table manners had never been something he needed to care about.
Most of the time, he was the one hosting guests. As long as his eating habits were not unbearable to watch, no one would say anything.
It was the same in front of women. They would instead praise him for being genuine, or say he had a healthy appetite.
But everything was relative. He had not recorded himself just now, but when he thought about how his movements compared to Harvey Anberaka's utmost elegance while eating, there was only one word for his own: crude.
Once there were more Void brethren in the future, he would definitely have to treat the newcomers to a meal.
When they all sat down to enjoy a grand feast together, he would look anything but elegant if he wolfed everything down.
Just imagining that scene made Tony Stark find it rather amusing.
So, to avoid becoming a laughingstock, he would have to pay more attention to such things in the future.
Harvey did not care and continued eating his food.
After Tony Stark entered the bathroom and washed his face, he discovered that his appearance had not changed much.
If there was any change, it was that his eyesight had improved. He could clearly see that his brown hair had become more lustrous than yesterday, as though he were growing younger again.
Compared to when Harvey Anberaka had casually strengthened him while treating him earlier, these changes were somewhat subtle.
It made Tony Stark unable to imagine just how powerful Harvey Anberaka had become.
But when he thought of the Void Vision, Harvey Anberaka's strength was only inevitable.
He still had a long road ahead of him. Most importantly, he could not be consumed by desire.
Tony Stark patted his face and walked out of the bathroom. Not long afterward, more food began arriving one batch after another.
Hundreds of servings of food were successively devoured by Tony and Harvey Anberaka within a few hours.
"My appetite has never been this good."
After finishing, Tony Stark rubbed his stomach and lay flat on the floor without the slightest concern, speaking with emotion.
"I should be going as well. Discuss Pepper's matter with her."
"If she is willing, I can give her an opportunity."
Having enjoyed the grand feast Tony Stark had hosted, Harvey stood up in satisfaction and spoke.
"Alright."
"After Obadiah Stane's betrayal, Pepper and Jarvis are the only ones around me I can trust."
"Having great power and a long lifespan is a wonderful thing, but immortality alone would be far too lonely."
"So I hope Pepper can accompany me through many more years."
"Therefore, no matter what, I will persuade her."
"Harvey Anberaka, even though I have said it several times already, I still want to say it again."
"Thank you for being willing to give me this opportunity."
"And thank you for being willing to give Pepper an opportunity as well."
Tony Stark rose from the floor after hearing that and spoke with a grateful expression.
"I understand. Do your best."
Harvey's eyes flickered slightly at those words. He nodded faintly in acknowledgment of what Tony Stark had said, then turned and left.
This trip to Stark Mansion had not only left him full and satisfied, but had also brought him greater gains than he had expected.
Once he got home, he would carefully consider which Hero Template would allow him to make the best use of his abilities.
After Harvey Anberaka left.
"Jarvis, scan my current physical condition and compare it to how I was yesterday."
Tony Stark went to the underground laboratory, looked at himself in the mirror, and spoke.
"Sir, your current physical appearance is equivalent to when you were twenty-eight years old. There are no illnesses anywhere in your body."
"Furthermore, all of your cells have been greatly enhanced, and they are continuing to strengthen at a slow rate."
After scanning Tony Stark, Jarvis immediately answered.
"Where is Pepper now?"
Upon learning this, Tony Stark smiled and asked.
"Miss Pepper is resting in her room and playing a tablet game."
"Miss Pepper said that today was a rare day off, so I blocked out outside disturbances for her."
"She has not been disturbed in any way."
Jarvis replied.
"Smart. But wake her up for me now and have her come to the underground laboratory."
"Tell her I have something to discuss with her."
Tony Stark first praised Jarvis, then gave his instructions.
"Understood. Your instructions have been relayed."
Jarvis agreed and simultaneously passed the message on to Pepper.
After hearing Jarvis's words, Pepper left her room and headed downstairs.
"Tony?"
When Pepper came down, the first thing she saw was Tony's back.
But she found his posture incredibly straight, carrying a spirited and vigorous air.
"Pepper, there are some things I need to tell you."
"And I need you to promise me that you will guard this secret absolutely and never reveal it to anyone else."
Tony turned around at her voice and looked at Pepper with an extremely serious expression.
"Oh my god!"
When Pepper saw Tony turn around, he looked like a young man in his twenties. She cried out in disbelief.
