"1999… A lot happened that year…" Tony's brain immediately went into overdrive.
The air fell silent. Tony pointed his hand at the air for a while before remembering his past with the beautiful woman.
"I remember now, we had a very pleasant night."
"Actually, you had a pleasant night every night back then," Maya Hansen said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Tony rubbed his forehead and said, "Those were mistakes made in my youth."
"Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young?" Maya said meaningfully, "Are you just inspecting Future Pharmaceuticals? Also, when did you get a new driver?"
"My original driver was injured and hospitalized, so I found a new one. Aside from a slightly higher salary, everything else is the same as before." Tony attracted Maya's attention, and at the same time, he slightly moved his foot, and a transparent, paper-like object stuck to the floor.
This was a small gift from S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, a type of sensor, and Tony had left many such small gifts along the way.
Meanwhile, Eller wasn't idle either. He released the Spider Smartphone to copy data, while he quietly sensed for any Extremis soldiers potentially hidden within Future Pharmaceuticals.
"Do you think there's a drug that can turn humans into living bombs?" Tony asked casually, as if spouting nonsense.
"When did Tony Stark start asking questions like that?" Maya smiled incredulously, then threw out a very tempting option.
"Future Pharmaceuticals would never produce such a drug. We only choose to benefit humanity. Come with me."
As she spoke, Maya led the two into a laboratory.
In the center of the laboratory was a large instrument with many reagent bottles inserted into it, each filled with medicinal liquid.
Just like the tube Happy risked his life to protect…
Tony narrowed his eyes and asked, "This is?"
"This is Extremis, a product we at Future Pharmaceuticals created with the help of Vanguard Technology."
Maya, smiling, took down a tube of the medicine, put it into a gun-shaped injector, and found a small white mouse whose four limbs had been cut off.
Looking at this 'mouse stump,' Eller shook his head and sighed, "You are truly cruel."
"Cruelty is a necessary path for science." Maya injected a small amount of 'Extremis' into the white mouse without changing her expression.
Subsequently, the white mouse's limbs grew back at an extremely fast speed, the entire process not exceeding ten seconds, and this was still a small dose of Extremis injection.
"Truly amazing." Tony leaned down to observe the white mouse carefully, his sunglasses flashing a blue light that no one noticed, then asked:
"Can you briefly describe the principle?"
"Extremis is a techno-organic virus. It can completely rewrite the body's genetic information. It replaces the entire organ structure, making them more efficient. Even if you are cut in half, you can be put back together and made faster and stronger.
Tony, as long as you get an injection when you remove that little thing from your chest, you can ensure the surgery has a 100% success rate."
Maya Hansen's words were very tempting, but Tony did not show any reaction. He even gestured for Eller to speak for him.
"Your product sounds very similar to Osborn's bio-serum." Eller commented on the two products meaningfully, "Both heal severed limbs, but I heard Osborn's bio-serum supposedly also has cosmetic functions, and it was pre-ordered by a group of Hollywood stars even before mass production."
"Extremis is a hundred times stronger than Osborn's skincare product!" Maya said sharply:
"Investing in the Extremis project has all benefits and no harm. Stark Industries also doesn't want to be limited to just energy in the future. I presume it also wants to venture into the medical industry, right?"
"That sounds very tempting." Tony said ambiguously, "I can expedite the audit process for the Extremis investment project."
Hearing this, Maya's face was filled with a heartfelt smile, "I look forward to that day, Mr. Stark."
"I had a very pleasant day, Dr. Hansen." Tony smiled slightly, then indicated his intention to leave, "But my schedule is a bit full today, so I won't stay long. See you later."
"Safe travels, both of you." Maya Hansen smiled as she saw the two off.
After this, Eller and Tony got into a black luxury car and drove away from the location.
Inside the car, Jarvis remotely took control of the vehicle, allowing the two to discuss the intelligence they had gathered.
"Being able to modify human genetic information means it can make the human body temperature exceed the threshold." Tony leaned back in the leather seat, rubbing his temples, and said:
"I secretly scanned that white mouse just now. Its body temperature was almost over ninety degrees. A normal homeothermic animal would have been cooked long ago. If an entire dose of the medicine is injected into a human, it could indeed turn a living person into a bomb."
"Your ex-girlfriend is not trustworthy." Eller said while pretending to look straight ahead:
"My little helper found a lot of human experimentation data in the database. After carefully reviewing the files, I found that they were all assassins and retired soldiers, about a hundred people."
"So they've raised an army to deal with me." Tony said irritably, "But I need to correct you, she's not my girlfriend, at most just a one-night stand, and you better not tell Pepper."
"This is the overt threat." Eller ignored Tony and continued on his own, "And there's a covert one too."
"Covert threat?" Tony asked, puzzled.
"Do you remember they wanted Stark Industries' investment? I suspect they want to use Stark Industries' power to widely sell Extremis. When the time is right, they'll use Extremis to create a large number of terrorist attacks, then there will be online trolls attacking Stark Industries, eventually causing public outrage, and you, Tony Stark, will be ruined."
"…" Tony was silent for a moment, then let out a long breath, and said in a relaxed tone:
"It's really good to have friends I can trust and who can remind me at crucial moments. Happy is, and you are too. With you guys, I believe I can go further and further on this path of protecting peace."
"No, I'm doing it for the Villa." Eller joked.
"Is that true or false?" Tony asked, not understanding.
Eller spoke his catchphrase, "Foxes are very deceptive animals."
"Gentlemen, satellite detection shows two heat sources rapidly approaching your vehicle. Those are likely missiles targeting you."
Jarvis's voice reminded the two.
"Jarvis, hand over control to me." A confident smile appeared on Eller's face. He gripped the steering wheel with both hands. He drove two-wheelers every day, so it was time to drive a four-wheeler for once.
"Watch me shake them off!"
