Soon, two full beef banquets were delivered to the gate, and the money had already been transferred, so the delivery personnel quickly left after dropping off the food.
Tony and Harvey each pushed their large tables of food inside.
The first thing Tony did after pushing his in was to immediately close the gate.
Although he was mentally prepared to be seen as an anomaly by others, he had only just joined Shadow, so it was better to remain hidden for as long as possible.
Subsequently, Tony Stark no longer paid attention to Harvey Anberaka and began to feast, grabbing the meat directly with his hands.
The portion of 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 Shadow, his body was still very weak, so every bit of energy brought him noticeable changes.
In just fifteen minutes, Tony Stark finished an entire cow.
When Tony Stark finished eating, he felt the increasingly strong power within his body, and his mind and body were filled with joy.
However, because of his ravenous eating, Tony Stark had a lot of oil and sauce around his mouth.
As Tony Stark was about to wash his face, he suddenly saw Harvey Anberaka a few meters away, elegantly dining and almost finished.
Most importantly, he noticed that Harvey Anberaka's face and clothes were free of any grease.
"You didn't eat with your hands directly, so how did you eat almost as fast as me?"
Tony compared himself and looked at Harvey Anberaka with a strange expression.
"Practice makes perfect."
Harvey swallowed the meat in his mouth and said with a smile.
"Looks like I need to learn properly."
Tony Stark looked at himself upon hearing this, then went directly to the restroom.
Although table manners had never been something he needed to care about.
Because most of the time he was hosting guests, as long as his eating wasn't too unsightly, no one would say anything about him.
Even in front of women, they would instead praise his true nature or say he had a good appetite.
However, this was also a matter of comparison; although he didn't record his eating behavior just now, thinking about it now, compared to Harvey Anberaka's extremely elegant dining movements, his actions could be described with one word: crude.
Later, when there were more Shadow compatriots, he would certainly treat the newcomers to a meal.
At that time, when they enjoyed a grand banquet together, he would look completely inelegant after wolfing down his food.
Just thinking about it, Tony Stark found the scene somewhat comical.
So, in order not to be laughed at by others, he still needed 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 a change, it was that his vision had become better, and he could clearly see that his brown hair was more lustrous than yesterday, showing a trend of returning to youth.
Compared to the subtle changes when Harvey Anberaka casually strengthened him during his treatment, these changes were somewhat minor.
It made Tony Stark unable to imagine what level of strength Harvey Anberaka had reached now.
However, thinking about himself in the Shadow vision, 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 soon after walked out of the restroom.
More food subsequently began to be delivered to the door.
Hundreds of servings of delicacies were all consumed by Tony and Harvey Anberaka within a few hours.
"My appetite has never been this good."
After eating, Tony Stark rubbed his stomach, lay flat on the ground without any reservations, and said with emotion.
"I should go now; you can discuss Pepper's matter with her."
"If she is willing, I can give her a chance."
Harvey also finished enjoying the grand banquet hosted by Tony Stark, stood up contentedly, and spoke.
"Okay."
"After being betrayed by Obadiah Stane, only Pepper and Jarvis are trustworthy to me."
"Having great power and a long lifespan is a great thing, but eternal life alone is too lonely."
"So I hope Pepper can accompany me for many more years."
"Therefore, 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 a chance."
Tony Stark also stood up from the ground upon hearing this, his expression full of gratitude.
"Understood, you work hard."
Harvey's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and he nodded slightly in approval of Tony Stark's words, then turned and left.
This trip to Stark Manor was not only filling but also brought greater gains than he had expected.
He would go home and carefully consider which hero template would be best suited for him to perform better.
After Harvey Anberaka left.
"Jarvis, scan my current physical condition and compare it with yesterday's me."
Tony Stark went to the Underground Research Lab, looked at himself in the mirror, and spoke.
"Sir, your current appearance is equivalent to yourself at twenty-eight years old, with no diseases throughout your body."
"Moreover, all your cells have been greatly enhanced, and they are still strengthening at a slow rate."
Jarvis scanned Tony Stark and immediately replied.
"Where is Pepper now?"
Tony Stark smiled upon learning this news and spoke.
"Miss Pepper is resting in her room, playing tablet games."
"Miss Pepper said this was a rare day to rest, so I helped her block out external sounds."
"She was not disturbed at all."
Jarvis said upon hearing this.
"Smart, but now wake her up and have her come to the Underground Research Lab."
"Just tell her I have something to tell her."
Tony Stark first praised Jarvis upon hearing this, then instructed.
"Okay, your instructions have been relayed."
Jarvis also responded and simultaneously conveyed it to Pepper.
Pepper, hearing Jarvis's words, also walked out of her room and went downstairs.
"Tony?"
When Pepper came down, the first thing she saw was Tony's back.
Only, she found Tony's back incredibly straight, with a feeling of high spirits.
"Pepper, I have some things to tell you."
"And I need you to promise me to keep it a secret, absolutely not to reveal it to anyone else."
Tony turned around and looked at Pepper, his expression incredibly serious.
"Oh my god!"
Pepper saw Tony, who had turned around, looking like a young man in his twenties, and exclaimed in disbelief.
Please recommend and follow; thank you all.
