After some discussion, Black Eggplant, under the military old man's strange gaze, skillfully employed his exceptional bargaining skills. He cut one-third off the price of the 9999 steam armor from its chest, finally setting the price at 66.66 million US dollars per set.

"Come to Stark Tower to pick up the goods tomorrow night."

After agreeing on the time and place, Yuri and Tony saw off Black Eggplant and his two companions before returning to the reception room. Green Goblin was still lying on the ground. Primarily, whenever Tony saw the veins on his face slightly recede, he would immediately have everyone put on earplugs and use the paralyzer on him. After four rounds, Green Goblin was completely subdued, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

With the tacit approval of the military, police, and special forces, Norman's disposal was effectively in Yuri's hands. He lightly kicked Green Goblin's armor and turned to Tony, saying, "Osborn has a lot of useful patents and laboratories. Rebirth Pharmaceutical Company can't just rely on rebirth potions. If possible, you should get some valuable things from him."

Tony looked at Green Goblin on the ground, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes. What was supposed to be a groundbreaking product launch had turned into a mess because of this guy's appearance. If he hadn't recognized Norman's face after pulling off the mask, he would have sent the guy to hell with a palm cannon long ago... Ever since he personally killed Obadiah, Tony's methods had become increasingly ruthless. When dealing with problems in the Middle East, he would mercilessly kill his enemies without hesitation.

"I don't think this old man will behave himself. Do you have a plan, Yuri?"

Through his precognitive abilities, he knew that the Osborn family had a hereditary genetic disease. Norman's transformation into the Green Goblin was caused by injecting an unverified enhancement potion. He raised a finger, and a wisp of golden life energy seeped into Green Goblin's body for a detailed examination.

He discovered that Norman's gene chain was slowly breaking down uncontrollably. This process wasn't rapid, but at this rate, he would likely die and rot into a pile of mush before reaching the fifty percent chance of death.

Fortunately, life energy could repair it. However, Yuri only healed one-tenth before withdrawing his energy. Under Tony's wary gaze, his eyes turned pure white for a moment, but they quickly returned to a brilliant golden hue within seconds.

"Alright, Norman has a genetic disease. I've cured one-tenth of it for him. When he wakes up, this will be your bargaining chip with him. Also, the malevolent intent in his soul is rather peculiar. Although I've completely eradicated it, it seems to regenerate infinitely from the main soul. Be mindful of this, and it's best to finalize all the procedures in a short period."

After instructing Tony, he turned to leave. It seemed the original body's Ambrosius family had some truly mystical aspects, and he wanted to understand their secrets quickly, preferably while also improving his own strength.

But Tony clearly didn't intend to let him leave so easily. He took out a videotape and waved it, "You can participate in the research and development of the new element, but the premise is that you have to help me find this new element first."

Yuri shrugged indifferently. As Tony inserted the tape and started playing it, he fast-forwarded to the scene of the "future world blueprint" and paused it. "Jarvis, if possible, please scan this image and project it vertically."

"I'm very sorry, Yuri."

Jarvis explained in a regretful tone, "There are no corresponding devices installed in the reception room. If you wish to do so, please move to the laboratory with Tony."

Yuri patted Tony, who had already made some discoveries, and said to Jarvis above them as they walked towards the elevator, "Then let Tony go by himself. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be going ahead."

Jarvis heard this and said, "A vehicle is already waiting at the entrance. Goodbye, Yuri."

The Ambrosius family resided in a small forest on the outskirts of New York City. In Yuri's childhood memories, he disliked living here because the forest surrounding the mansion appeared particularly eerie and terrifying when night fell.

The driver was one of Stark's bodyguards. Yuri didn't recall seeing this person in his memories, likely an ordinary individual who had no role in the main Marvel events. However, the driver had good skills, driving neither too fast nor too slow, so smoothly that Yuri didn't feel any bumps.

As the car entered the only main road in the forest, he keenly sensed faint but real energy fluctuations. This was a new sense developed after absorbing Jinger's abilities. In the past, he was like an infant in the womb, passively absorbing the cosmic energy scattered throughout the world. But now, he could not only perceive their existence more clearly but also subjectively manipulate them to a small extent for his own use.

This gave him some speculation about the abilities of the Eternals.

However, now was not the time to ponder this. The faint energy fluctuation flashed and disappeared. Immediately, Yuri felt that the cosmic energy in this area seemed to be more drawn to him. They displayed pure joy, as if welcoming their master's return.

"Magic..."

The car entered the gate, bypassed the stone fountain statue, which also had energy fluctuations, and stopped at the mansion's steps.

Before the driver could get out, Yuri opened the car door himself. After politely bidding farewell to the driver, he opened the door and entered the house with practiced ease. The interior was brightly lit and resplendent. Before he could take a few laps to reminisce about the past, he saw the white-haired but energetic old butler descending the stairs.

Yuri naturally put on a friendly smile and walked up to him, calling out, "Adam! Long time no see!"

Old Adam's face was full of smiles as he looked up and down at the young master he had raised, who was like a grandson to him. He patted Yuri's shoulder and teased, "I thought I wouldn't see you return to the family before I died."

They chatted as they entered the dining room. The four-meter-diameter round revolving dining table was laden with various dishes, and his parents had already started eating before Yuri arrived.

"Why are you so late? Your father and I waited for a while and didn't see you, so we were afraid the food would get cold and started eating... Is there anything else you want to eat? If so, have Adam tell the kitchen to make it."

As the kingpins of the culinary world, the Ambrosius family's lunch naturally showcased the extravagance and excess of capitalist society. Although there were only three people, the food on the table was enough for at least thirty people to eat their fill and then some. Yuri ate perfunctorily for a while, keeping his intake within the range of a normal person. He didn't intend to reveal too much in front of his original body's parents, unless they were as abnormal as he was.

After eating his fill, Rob stood up first. He beckoned to Yuri, who was ready, and as the latter followed, they walked unhurriedly towards the study. His tone became low and mysterious, "Before we delve into all the family secrets, Yuri, I need an answer to one question."

"Do you believe in the existence of magic?"
