Tony Stark's words made Coulson, who was standing nearby, stir and look towards Harvey Anberaka.
It was precisely because of this sharp, almost prophetic insight that the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division set their sights on Harvey Anberaka.
If Harvey Anberaka had made a single mistake, they wouldn't have been suspicious, but Harvey Anberaka had never failed.
This time, Tony Stark's sudden announcement that he would stop manufacturing weapons was an unexpected and significant drop.
"What do I have to feel heartache about?"
"I already sold all my shares more than two months ago."
"The bad news you announced today will cause Stark Industries' stock to plummet."
"It only proves that my action was a smart move."
Harvey maintained the smile on his face and spoke, facing Tony Stark's probe.
"You said you sold them already?"
Tony Stark said, somewhat incredulously, upon hearing these words.
When Coulson heard these words, he immediately took out a tablet and checked.
He discovered that Harvey Anberaka had sold shares worth 1.13 billion U.S. dollars in batches at nearly the highest price within a month before Tony Stark's disappearance.
Before Tony Stark announced today that he would stop manufacturing weapons, Stark Industries' stock had been steadily rising.
It was no exaggeration to say that anyone who bought and held Stark Industries' stock could simply lie back and make money every day.
However, Harvey Anberaka chose to exit, and this buying and selling allowed Harvey Anberaka to profit at least an additional 300 million U.S. dollars.
This made Coulson look at Harvey Anberaka in disbelief.
What kind of person was this? Was it a superpower, or did he truly possess such extraordinary and sharp insight?
However, thinking about the purpose of stopping Harvey Anberaka, Coulson felt relieved.
"Over the past year or so, it has risen by quite a few percentage points and I've received a good amount of dividends. I felt I had earned enough, so I naturally sold them."
Harvey Anberaka spread his hands and said with a smile, facing Tony Stark's incredulous gaze.
Tony Stark also noticed the person who came along and had been checking data.
Now, he heard these seemingly natural words and saw Harvey Anberaka, who looked relaxed and happy.
If he hadn't suddenly announced the cessation of weapon production today, Stark Industries' stock would still be on an upward trend.
A normal person would only continue to invest because it would go higher and higher in the future, but how could Harvey Anberaka have managed to escape even this?
"No wonder everyone else is so agitated, but you don't look flustered at all, and even seem a bit happy."
"But how long can your good fortune last?"
Tony Stark looked at Harvey Anberaka, his words still carrying some doubt.
That's right, in Tony Stark's eyes, the reason Harvey Anberaka rose so quickly was simply due to good fortune.
"Hahaha~ Tony Stark, you really are impolite."
"In terms of wealth, I am still far from comparable to you."
"In terms of intelligence, I also cannot compare to you, who possesses the mind of a genius scientist."
"Whether you see my actions as good fortune or something else, it doesn't matter."
"But it still doesn't affect my ability to make money, does it?"
Harvey, hearing this, was not annoyed and said with a smile.
"So why did you come to my press conference today?"
"To show off your foresight to me?"
Tony Stark looked at the extremely bright smile on Harvey Anberaka's face, and for some reason, he felt a surge of annoyance, asking.
Coulson also looked at Harvey Anberaka from the side. To be honest, he was also very curious why Harvey Anberaka, who never attended formal occasions, suddenly came to Tony Stark's press conference today.
"Showing off my foresight to you? I never thought that way."
"I just wanted to come and see because you mysteriously disappeared for several months."
"Could you tell me where you came back from?"
"So I can avoid that place when I go on vacation in the future."
Harvey shook his head upon hearing this and smiled calmly.
"Afghanistan."
Tony Stark's expression and tone softened considerably when he heard that Harvey wasn't there to show off, and he uttered a name.
"Afghanistan, where terrorists gather? You really went to an extraordinary place."
Harvey showed some surprise upon hearing this.
"Yes, but even if I don't say it, you wouldn't go to such a place, would you?"
"After all, your business scope is merely the extremely mediocre real estate and stock market; you haven't created something unique to yourself to increase your wealth."
Harvey's surprised expression made Tony Stark feel somewhat pleased. His words were still grating, but they also pointed out the current scarcity of Harvey's money-making methods.
"Now it's real estate and the stock market, but in the future, it might not be."
"Perhaps you will even have to ask for my help in the future, you never know."
Harvey didn't mind Tony Stark's somewhat sarcastic remarks and said with a smile.
"Ask for my help?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Tony Stark first looked at Harvey with a questioning gaze, then he laughed, saying in a resolute tone.
"Don't be so absolute. After all, a genius like you can repeatedly create groundbreaking, advanced technology."
"Doesn't that indicate that anything is possible?"
Harvey saw Tony Stark's arrogant demeanor, poked his own chest with his index finger, and said faintly.
Coulson heard about advanced technology and wasn't surprised, as Tony Stark's intellect was undoubtedly World-renowned.
And Tony Stark, seeing Harvey's action and hearing these words, his eyes narrowed.
The matter of the nuclear reactor in his chest, besides the deceased Ethan and Colonel Rhodes, no one else should know.
He was certain Rhodes had not interacted with Harvey Anberaka, so how did Harvey Anberaka know?
"Who exactly are you?"
Tony Stark's expression changed, and he looked at Harvey with a serious face.
"Harvey Anberaka, the guy you said got lucky."
Harvey did not answer this question upon hearing it, but merely responded to Tony Stark with the impression Tony Stark had just had of him.
"I think we will have more dealings in the future, so let's end our conversation here for now."
Immediately, Harvey stood up and walked out.
Coulson had no idea what went wrong in the conversation between Harvey Anberaka and Tony Stark that caused Tony Stark's attitude to suddenly change.
However, Coulson didn't want to let Harvey Anberaka get away; he wanted to have a detailed conversation with Harvey Anberaka.
"Mr. Tony Stark, I am Agent Coulson from the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
"I'd like to ask you about your successful escape from Afghanistan."
"However, you should be busy right now, so I will visit you again next time."
So Coulson politely introduced himself to Tony Stark and placed his business card on the table.
He wanted to leave an impression on Tony Stark to facilitate conversation during their next meeting.
Then, Coulson immediately followed him out.
Tony Stark watched Harvey Anberaka leave, his eyes flickering.
He couldn't quite figure out Harvey Anberaka, but now he also knew that Obadiah Stane was definitely looking for him.
He also wanted to talk to Obadiah Stane about his current thoughts.
