I Want You to Promise Me

The two whole-cow feasts were quickly delivered to the door. The payment had already been transferred, so the delivery personnel left as soon as they handed over the food.

Tony and Harvey each pushed their large tables of food inside.

Immediately after pushing his table in, Tony closed the door.

Although he was mentally prepared to be seen as an anomaly by others, he had only just joined the Void. It was best to stay hidden for as long as possible.

Afterward, Tony Stark paid no mind to Harvey Anberaka and began eating the meat directly with his hands, starting to devour it with gusto.

The amount of meat from one cow was enough for many people, but under Tony Stark's astonishing appetite, it was disappearing at a visible rate.

Life energy continuously filled and strengthened Tony Stark's cells.

Now that he had just joined the Void, his body was still very weak, so every bit of energy brought about a noticeable change.

In just fifteen minutes, Tony Stark finished an entire cow.

When Tony Stark finished eating, he felt the growing strength within him and experienced a sense of pleasure in his body and mind.

However, due to his ravenous eating, Tony Stark's mouth was covered in oil and sauce.

As Tony Stark prepared to wash his face, he suddenly saw Harvey Anberaka a few meters away, dining elegantly and also nearing the end of his meal.

Most importantly, he noticed that Harvey Anberaka's face and clothes were completely free of any grease.

"You're not eating with your hands, yet you're eating just as fast as me?"

Tony compared himself and looked at Harvey Anberaka with a strange expression.

"It's become a habit," Harvey replied, swallowing the meat in his mouth and smiling.

"It seems I need to learn a thing or two."

Tony Stark looked at himself after hearing this and then went directly to the restroom.

Although he had never cared about dining etiquette.

Since he was usually the one hosting guests, as long as his eating manners weren't unbearable, no one would say anything.

Even in front of women, they would praise him for being genuine or having a good appetite.

However, it was all about comparison. While he hadn't recorded himself, thinking back now, compared to Harvey Anberaka's extremely elegant dining posture, his own movements could be described with one word: crude.

In the future, when there were more fellow members of the Void, he would definitely treat the newcomers to a meal.

When they all enjoyed a grand feast together, his own wolfing down of food would look completely ungraceful.

Just thinking about it made Tony Stark find the image somewhat amusing.

So, to avoid becoming a laughingstock, he would have to pay attention to these things in the future.

Harvey didn't mind and continued eating his food.

After Tony Stark went into the restroom and washed his face, he found that his appearance hadn't 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, showing signs of rejuvenation.

Compared to the casual enhancement Harvey Anberaka had given him during his previous treatment, these changes were quite subtle.

It made Tony Stark unable to imagine what level of power Harvey Anberaka had reached now.

However, considering his own experience in the Void, Harvey Anberaka's power was inevitable.

He still had a long way to go, and most importantly, he couldn't be consumed by desire.

Tony Stark patted his face and walked out of the restroom. Not long after.

More food began to arrive.

The meals for hundreds of people were all consumed by Tony and Harvey Anberaka within a few hours.

"I've never had such a good appetite before."

After finishing, Tony Stark rubbed his stomach and lay down on the ground without any pretense, saying with emotion.

"I should be going too. Regarding Pepper, you discuss it with her."

"If she's willing, I can give her an opportunity."

Harvey also finished the grand banquet hosted by Tony Stark, stood up contentedly, and said.

"Okay."

"After being betrayed by Obadiah Stane, Pepper and Jarvis are the only ones I can trust."

"Having great power and a long lifespan is a wonderful thing, but eternal life alone is too lonely."

"Therefore, I hope Pepper can accompany me for many more years."

"So, I will persuade her no matter what."

"Harvey Anberaka, although I've said it a few times, I still want to say it."

"Thank you for being willing to give me this opportunity."

"And thank you for being willing to give Pepper an opportunity."

Tony Stark stood up from the ground upon hearing this, his expression grateful as he said.

"Understood, you do your best."

Harvey's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and he nodded slightly, acknowledging Tony Stark's words before turning to leave.

This trip to Stark Mansion wasn't just about a full meal; the gains were also greater than he had anticipated.

After he got home and thought about it carefully, he'd decide which hero template would be best for him to utilize.

After Harvey Anberaka left.

"Jarvis, scan my current physical condition and compare it with yesterday's."

Tony Stark went to the underground research lab and said this while looking at himself in the mirror.

"Sir, your current appearance and features are equivalent to your twenty-eight-year-old self. You have no illnesses."

"Furthermore, all your cells have been greatly enhanced and are still strengthening at a slow pace."

Jarvis replied immediately after scanning Tony Stark.

"Where is Pepper now?"

Tony Stark's face broke into a smile upon hearing this news, and he asked.

"Miss Pepper is resting in her room, playing a game on her tablet."

"Miss Pepper mentioned that this is a rare day off, so I've helped her block out external noise."

"She is not being disturbed at all."

Jarvis replied.

"Smart. However, wake her up for me now and have her come to the underground research lab."

"Tell her I have something to discuss with her."

Tony Stark first praised Jarvis before giving his instructions.

"Understood. Your instructions have been relayed."

Jarvis acknowledged this and simultaneously relayed the message to Pepper.

Upon hearing Jarvis, Pepper also walked out of her room and headed downstairs.

"Tony?"

As Pepper came down, she first saw Tony's back.

However, she noticed that Tony's posture was incredibly upright, exuding a sense of youthful vigor.

"Pepper, I have some things to tell you."

"And I need you to promise me you'll keep it a secret, absolutely not revealing it to anyone else."

Tony turned around to look at Pepper, his expression extremely serious.

"Oh my god!"

Pepper exclaimed in disbelief as she saw Tony turn around, his appearance resembling a young man in his twenties.

Please recommend and follow, I beg of you all.
