You kept refusing to answer, what could I do?" Tony Stark felt a bit guilty hearing that, but he still spoke stubbornly.
"Fine, what do you want from me anyway?" Seeing Tony still being stubborn, Harvey didn't bother to dwell on the issue and asked directly.
"It's rare to get through to you, want to come over to my place and chat?"
"I have some things I want to show you."
Tony Stark immediately perked up and extended the invitation.
Of course, he wanted to show Harvey Anberaka his technological achievements.
He most frequently used Mark II, but in the past month, his Mark was no longer just Mark II; it had been improved to Mark V.
However, only he knew about these things.
Tony Stark thought of Harvey Anberaka, imagining him admiring his other suits of armor in his lab.
This brought a smile to Tony Stark's face.
"Is there food?" Harvey saw that Tony Stark had actually extended an invitation, considered it for a moment, and counter-questioned.
"Food?"
"Harvey Anberaka, I rarely invite people to my home."
"I invite you over, and you ask me if there's food?" Tony Stark, who had been immersed in his fantasy, was stunned by the question and spoke with some irritation.
But very quickly, Tony Stark remembered a rumor circulating in New York's high society.
Harvey Anberaka's stomach was a bottomless pit, and this rumor had emerged a month ago at Stark's charity ball.
He had also seen Harvey Anberaka eating with particular relish back then.
"Wait... I can have someone make it."
So Tony Stark also reacted and spoke.
"First, have someone prepare dinner for a hundred people for me; I'll be there soon."
Harvey immediately agreed upon hearing this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Harvey hung up the phone, changed his clothes, and drove out.
"Jarvis, what did he just say?" Tony Stark thought he had misheard and asked Jarvis.
"Sir, you did not mishear."
"Mr. Harvey Anberaka said he wanted dinner for one hundred people."
Jarvis also immediately replied upon hearing this.
"Jarvis, help me contact the chefs from a five-star hotel and have them prepare and deliver the food as quickly as possible."
"Aside from the cost of the dishes, I'll give each of them five thousand U.S. dollars as a rush fee."
Tony Stark said upon hearing this.
He didn't want to see Harvey Anberaka looking disdainful of his hospitality when he arrived at his home.
"Yes, Sir."
Jarvis also immediately began making the calls.
In fact, Tony Stark wasn't just trying to show off to Harvey Anberaka.
He also had some things he wanted to discuss with Harvey Anberaka, such as his views on the Avengers.
If possible, he could even talk about aliens.
Perhaps Harvey Anberaka already knew about aliens in the Universe?
Tony Stark couldn't be sure about these things, but he directly left the lab and sat on the first floor.
"What happened?" Pepper saw him come up from the Underground Research Lab shortly after going down and sit on the sofa on the first floor, looking somewhat restless, and asked with some concern.
"Nothing, just sitting here for a bit." Tony Stark paused and said.
"Jarvis?" Pepper heard the answer and directly asked Jarvis.
"Sir is preparing to host a friend."
Facing Pepper's inquiry, Jarvis's voice sounded.
"What friend? Just a guest." Tony Stark immediately retorted upon hearing this.
"What friend?"
"Why don't I know?" Pepper ignored Tony's reaction, her curiosity piqued, and continued to ask Jarvis.
"It is Mr. Harvey Anberaka; he is currently on his way."
Jarvis also honestly replied.
"When did they become friends?" Pepper heard the name, looked at Tony with some surprise, and said.
She wasn't familiar with Harvey Anberaka, but she wasn't a stranger to him either; she just hadn't heard that Tony and Harvey Anberaka had such a deep connection.
"Within this past month."
Jarvis replied again upon hearing this.
"?" Pepper didn't understand Jarvis's somewhat vague answer for a moment.
"Don't ask, in short, Harvey Anberaka is coming to visit."
"A lot of food will be delivered later; you can help receive it then."
Tony Stark interrupted Pepper's further curiosity and directly instructed her.
This only made Pepper more confused; hadn't they just had dinner not long ago?
"Those foods are prepared for Mr. Harvey Anberaka."
"His appetite seems to be very good, so we need to prepare a lot of food."
Jarvis saw Pepper's puzzled expression and explained.
"The rumor is actually true?" Pepper asked with some surprise.
"Although I cannot comprehend why a human can eat so much food, the rumor is indeed true."
"Even competitive eaters don't eat as much as him, do they?"
"Yes, currently, the competitive eaters around the World do not have as good an appetite as Mr. Harvey Anberaka."
Pepper and Jarvis conversed back and forth, directly chatting with each other.
Soon, more than twenty minutes passed.
"Sir, Mr. Harvey Anberaka has arrived at the Villa entrance."
"The gate has been opened for him."
Jarvis's voice reported.
Soon, the main gate of the Villa also opened automatically.
Harvey was not surprised by any of this.
Pepper saw Harvey Anberaka, dressed in a White suit, standing tall with an extremely handsome face, and was momentarily captivated.
She often saw various White handsome men, but she saw Asian handsome men relatively less often.
Although it wasn't the first time she had seen him, usually she had only seen him from the side, and knowing there was no interaction, she hadn't paid too much attention.
However, this time, his visit captivated Pepper for a moment; who doesn't like young, handsome fresh meat?
"Cough, cough."
At this moment, a cough came from the side, bringing Pepper back to her senses.
"Hello, Mr. Harvey Anberaka."
Pepper lowered her head, then, raising it, showed a polite smile on her face.
"Hello, Miss Pepper Potts."
Harvey also responded politely.
"Come on, let's talk downstairs." Tony Stark saw Harvey Anberaka arrive, stood up directly, and pointed behind him with his thumb.
Harvey glanced at Pepper, thoughtfully, then nodded.
"Pepper, do not pour us coffee without my instruction; we will come up once we are done talking."
Tony Stark specifically instructed Pepper as he led Harvey Anberaka downstairs.
Pepper saw Tony's mysterious demeanor, and although she was very curious, she could only agree.
"You're not letting her know, so it seems the things you want to talk to me about aren't just your latest technology." Harvey said as he walked down the stairs with Tony Stark.
"It seems I can't hide anything from you, but since you've guessed what I'm generally going to talk about, you also know that those things are not for her to understand." Tony Stark found that his thoughts had been seen through by just one sentence, revealing a hint of helplessness.
"It's not that you think she can't understand, but that you think she understands but can't comprehend you, right?" Harvey glanced at Pepper, who was standing still, curiously looking over, and then at Tony Stark, who seemed to have something on his mind.
"It's not just her; many people probably can't understand, which is why I called you here." Tony Stark sighed slightly upon hearing this somewhat profound statement and spoke.
"Then let me listen attentively." Harvey paused, a smile appearing on his face, and said.
"Jarvis, those two really do look a bit like friends."
Although Pepper couldn't go down and couldn't hear clearly, she saw Tony and Harvey Anberaka start chatting even before they reached the Underground Research Lab.
"Sir is not good at expressing his feelings, but my judgment will not be wrong."
Jarvis's words carried some pride.
Although he didn't know Harvey Anberaka very well either, for Sir to continuously and persistently instruct him to call and contact Harvey Anberaka for a month straight.
He and Mr. Tony Stark must have something in common in some aspect.
The third update is here, still asking for votes and continued reading, it's really important to me.
