Meanwhile, Harvey left the New York Police Department, and a smile finally appeared on his face after he got into his convertible sports car.
He had spent a lot of money maintaining this identity, and he didn't want to expose himself to S.H.I.E.L.D. and affect his life.
What he had to do now wasn't much different from before: normally going to various places to eat, enjoying himself while earning Evolution Points.
Occasionally, when he saw an interesting mission, he could undertake it as the God of Death.
What he had to do now was wait for the right moment.
Harvey knew that to play a role, he had to play it fully, so after a quick meal,
Harvey didn't return to his original manor but went to a Villa in New York.
Harvey even stopped going out, directly ordering large quantities of takeout to be delivered to his Villa, honestly becoming a homebody.
Every time Harvey ate a high-calorie pizza and various steaks, pork chops, and other foods, the system would prompt him that he had gained tens, hundreds, or even thousands of Evolution Points.
So, one million Evolution Points seemed like a lot, but in reality, it wasn't that much.
Furthermore, if the Void Race is in various harsh environments, they will also undergo rapid Evolution to adapt to the environment, and their strength will increase dramatically.
It's just that Harvey felt that since he could enjoy earning Evolution Points, why force himself?
There are still nine years until the Purple Sweet Potato Monster truly arrives, and just eating food is enough for him to evolve many times.
Not to mention, he already planned to go to Wakanda to absorb a large amount of Vibranium when the time was right.
Although the taste of absorbing iron and steel made him nauseous, it might be precisely because the taste wasn't very good.
They are substances that are only absorbed in extremely harsh environments, so the Evolution Points given are very significant.
During this period as a homebody, Harvey sold his shares in Stark Industries.
At the same time, Harvey would also check the dark web, and the bounty on Tony Stark had already been claimed in just a few days.
This indicated that Iron Man Tony Stark would soon truly appear, and when Iron Man emerged, the entire New York would become even more chaotic.
This could also be said to be the official beginning of Marvel's first phase.
Harvey certainly wouldn't interfere with these causalities because this was the most important event.
If Tony Stark could survive and turn over a new leaf, it would prove that his timeline was likely part of the Main Universe.
If Tony Stark died, it would mean that his timeline was merely a parallel Universe's timeline.
If it was the former, being in the Main Universe, when he had the opportunity to unlock the next template, he could prioritize the hero templates of Cho'Gath or Void Walker Kassadin.
Gaining the abilities of one of them would make him stronger and more effective.
If it was the latter, and the World he was in was merely a parallel Universe's timeline,
Harvey would take the initiative to win over various heroes to quickly gain the opportunity to unlock templates and regain his prophetic abilities.
Anyway, no matter what Universe he was in, Harvey was confident that he could survive and continue to evolve, remaining in an invincible position.
Next, he just had to see what direction the Iron Man incident would take.
Harvey ate five meals a day, and each meal was enough for a hundred people, continuously acquiring Evolution Points.
After eating, Harvey would begin to exercise, further strengthening his control over his own power.
Harvey's homebody life completely dispelled Nick Fury's thoughts after one month.
***
Unconsciously, more than three months passed.
Under this homebody life, Harvey evolved once a week on average, having already evolved eighteen times.
His offensive capabilities were temporarily sufficient, so the priority was naturally to improve his defensive capabilities.
Harvey added all eighteen Evolutions to Void Skin, bringing it from the original twenty-five Evolutions to forty-three Evolutions.
Now, his physical strength and defense had reached a terrifying level.
Harvey had been to the Pacific Ocean and conducted multiple tests; after so many Evolutions, he could reach the deepest part of the ocean with just his physical body, without any protection.
And the Water pressure at the bottom of the sea was a harsh environment; frequent tests caused Harvey's body to actively adapt to the environment, automatically evolving the ability to breathe underwater six times.
He had now evolved a total of two hundred sixty-two times, and those six Evolutions were all in the direction of breathing.
Evolution brought about by environmental adaptation cannot be actively chosen by oneself in terms of direction.
This was also why Harvey didn't want to go to various places and torture himself to gain Evolution.
After all, some abilities, once evolved, might not be of much use temporarily, and instead would lead to an increase in the number of Evolutions, making the point requirement for his autonomous Evolution higher.
And on this day, Harvey was eating potato chips with big bites, watching the news, when suddenly the news changed.
"According to news just received by this station, Tony Stark, who has been missing for more than three months, has successfully returned to New York."
Harvey saw the news reporting that the missing Tony Stark had safely returned to America.
And Stark Industries was preparing to hold a press conference.
Harvey smiled when he saw this, but he didn't choose to short Stark Industries' stock.
Because he would buy a large number of Stark Industries shares later, if he shorted now and then bought at a lower price, it would easily attract the attention of those in the financial district.
Harvey chose to drive out and head to Stark Industries, intending to personally witness the upcoming press conference.
If Stark truly intended to abandon the arms business, it would mean that this World was very likely the Main Universe.
Harvey drove the latest model Maserati on the roads of New York, accompanied by some noisy gunshots and the sound of breaking glass.
Harvey was completely unmoved by this, quickly passing through with his superb driving skills and hearing.
Soon, Harvey arrived at the venue where Stark Industries was about to hold its press conference.
As soon as Harvey got out of the car, he attracted the attention of some people.
After all, this man was also one of New York's billionaires.
"Mr. Harvey Anberaka, I am from Genesis Technology; I wonder if I could have a word with you?"
A White man in a suit and glasses saw Harvey's arrival and politely stepped forward to speak.
"I came here this time to see Tony Stark."
"If you want me to invest, first work hard to expand your plan. As long as the time is right, I will invest."
Harvey smiled and said casually, then walked into the venue.
"Specifically here to see Mr. Tony Stark?"
"Mr. Harvey Anberaka, are you friends with Tony Stark?"
"But it seems you've never attended any exhibitions or banquets hosted by Tony Stark, have you?"
Some beautiful female reporters heard Harvey's words and actively stepped forward, wanting to interview him about the reason.
"You're right, I've never met Tony Stark in a formal setting."
"However, Tony Stark, as someone even wealthier than me,"
"If possible, it would naturally be better to get acquainted with Tony Stark."
Harvey also responded politely.
"Is this a signal that you plan to invest in Stark Industries in the future?"
A beautiful news reporter immediately asked a question upon hearing these words.
Harvey Anberaka, twenty-one years old, one of the billionaires who rose in the past two years.
In just over two years, Harvey Anberaka's net worth transformed, reaching an astonishing over three billion U.S. dollars, which can be said to be one of New York's miracles.
Countless people knew that this was merely the starting point for Harvey Anberaka; the astonishing extent of Harvey Anberaka's future wealth is difficult to estimate.
If Harvey Anberaka intended to acquire shares in Stark Industries, it was possible in the future.
"Perhaps it's possible."
"Alright, that's all for the questions. Please let me quietly watch this press conference, how about that?"
Harvey did not give a clear answer, but after a vague reply, he tactfully refused the reporters' desire for further interviews.
One cannot give overly clear answers to reporters; even if a clear answer is to be given, it needs to be carefully considered first.
Otherwise, it's easy for these reporters to twist words and exaggerate, leading to a series of troubles.
Although Harvey could make these people lose their jobs, or even disappear, just by his wealth,
However, his current identity was Harvey Anberaka, one of New York's rising wealthy individuals in recent years, so these things certainly could not be done casually, at least not under his current identity.
Subsequently, Harvey entered the venue, where many reporters and some celebrities were already waiting.
Coulson was originally talking to Pepper Potts, trying to learn about Tony Stark's escape.
After all, under the encirclement of the fully armed Ten Rings Gang, he only suffered a slight arm injury and broke through the encirclement, which was clearly not something an ordinary person could do.
"Why is he here?"
But Coulson suddenly saw that Harvey Anberaka had also arrived, saying with some surprise.
Pepper saw Coulson, who claimed to be from a long and difficult-to-pronounce organization, shift his attention elsewhere.
So Pepper also looked over and saw a tall, handsome Asian man in a suit.
"Harvey Anberaka, Mr. Coulson, are you surprised by his arrival?"
Pepper asked with some curiosity and doubt.
"May I ask, Miss Potts, is Mr. Harvey Anberaka friends with Mr. Stark?"
Coulson looked at Pepper and asked politely.
"No, although Tony and I have both heard of his reputation, I can confirm Tony has not met him."
Pepper shook her head with almost no hesitation.
She was well aware of Tony Stark's various schedules, and she basically knew all the people Tony had interacted with, and Harvey Anberaka was not among them.
Harvey Anberaka had also never made an appointment or anything similar to visit Tony.
"Alright, sorry to bother you."
Coulson knew that further questioning would not yield any useful information, so he did not continue to ask, but moved to the side, no longer disturbing Pepper.
Harvey himself simply found a good vantage point, looking at the stage in the center, a dozen meters away.
Three updates today, this is the first.
