Chapter 3: Palladium poisoning

Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Palladium poisoning

Arthur mansion gate.

"Arthur, can I still come to see you in the future?"

"By the way, I would also like to ask you some questions about the plot of your books."

Gwen tried to find a reason to visit Arthur again in the future.

Afraid that Arthur would deny her request.

She quickly thought of a plausible reason, to talk about the plot of his books.

Arthur had no objections to this, especially when the other party was still a beauty.

"Of course, you can come to me anytime, well, as long as I'm home."

"Like I said, we're friends now."

"Then I'll go back to university first, see you next time, Art."

"See you next time."

Gwen, who turned around, with unconditional excitement on her face, clenched her fists to herself and shouted excitedly.

"Yes!"

As soon as she left the mansion, the discomfort she had been feeling in her body disappeared.

However, the excitement in her heart caused Gwen to subconsciously attribute this situation to her good mood.

Looking at Gwen's excited appearance outside his mansion, Arthur also smiled slightly.

As soon as Arthur went back inside, his phone rang in his pocket.

Just after answering the phone, a female voice sounded: "Hello, is this Mr. Morgan?"

"Myself, who asks?"

"Hello, I'm Virginia Potts, current CEO of Stark Industries."

Upon hearing the other side's self-introduction, Arthur immediately knew who it was.

Tony Stark's assistant, also known as Pepper.

(But... Why is she calling me?)

"What can I do for you?"

"Well, Mr. Morgan, you are the largest stockholder in Stark Industries, Tony Stark is having a party tonight."

"I called to invite you to participate."

"Would you like to participate?"

(I see.)

(So it was an invitation to a party...)

"Sure, what time will it be?"

Arthur would never refuse to eat, drink, and party for free, especially if the person organizing it is someone who knows how to throw a party like Tony Stark.

"7 p.m., do you need us to send a car to pick you up?"

"Otherwise, I won't be able to be a driver tonight."

After speaking, Happy left the office without looking back.

As soon as Happy left, Tony immediately explained to Pepper, "You heard him say that just now, that was before."

Pepper didn't bother to listen to Tony's explanation.

To be frank, Pepper remembers these things better than Tony, after all, she helped dispose of the trash every time Tony finished eating.

"Tony, it's time for me to change my clothes. You know, women take longer to put on makeup for this kind of party."

Tony immediately got up from the couch: "I know for sure, I'll wait for you, Pepper."

Upon hearing this, Pepper stopped and looked at Tony.

"Wait until I get back, I'll help you choose a suit for tonight."

"I always have."

Tony looked at Pepper leaving the back, and as he reached out to hold him back, JARVIS' voice rang out.

[Sir, Miss. Potts has already left, it's time for you to drink your medicine.]

"Thank you JARVIS for reminding me again."

[You're welcome sir.]

Tony sighed, believing JARVIS had realized his ambiguity.

"JARVIS, how's the alternative element screening experiment going?"

[I have not found a new element that can replace palladium, sir. If a single element is not enough, I will arrange for a combination of other elements.]

While listening to the JARVIS report, Tony went to his desk and took a small object from underneath.

Then he pressed his thumb hard against the hole, and the slight pain made Tony frown.

A set of percentage numbers were immediately displayed on the small object's screen.

[9%!]

"Good news, JARVIS."

"We still have some time to enjoy."

And JARVIS once again poured cold water on Tony: [Sir, if you continue to wear the Iron Man armor, it will speed up the palladium poisoning process.]

[Unfortunately, what keeps you alive is also killing you]

[I recommend that you stop using the armor until you find an alternative element]

"Okay, enough of that, where's my medicine JARVIS?"

[It's on the table, sir]
