Chapter 173 Sky-High Price Transaction

Looking at Pepper with a flash of panic and fear in his eyes.

Tony, who was inexplicably distressed, subconsciously said harshly: "How is it possible? It's just palladium poisoning. How could it kill me! I've almost worked out an antidote plan. As long as you give me a little more time, I can solve this little problem." question······"

Pepper didn't pay attention to Tony Stark's quibbles, but said with an extremely ugly face: "So, you are really poisoned? Why did you hide this matter from me?"

Tony, who seemed to realize what he had admitted, immediately glanced at the instigator Aylin with a resentful look on his face.

but.

Aylin ignored his resentment and continued: "The toxins in Mr. Stark's body come from the big light bulb on his chest. That big light bulb provides Mr. Stark with powerful power and energy. At the same time, it also It's constantly eroding his body."

"Every time he wears the armor and activates the big light bulb on his chest with high power, it actually accelerates the spread of palladium poisoning, and it also overdraws Mr. Stark's life."

"Mr. Stark himself should be very aware of this, but it is obvious that our Mr. Stark is now obsessed with his superhero plot!"

"Even though he knows that every time he wears the armor, he will overdraw his life, but he is already enjoying it."

"It is understandable to be addicted to the glory brought by the identity of a superhero. If a different kind of toxin is used, with Mr. Stark's financial resources, there will definitely be a solution. However, palladium poisoning seems to be an incurable terminal disease now. Coming."

"Is Mr. Stark really sure that he can overcome the world's problems and find a solution to palladium poisoning before his entire body is completely eroded by the toxins in the palladium element?"

"After all, judging from the spread of palladium poisoning in Mr. Stark's body, within a few months, it may be..."

Every time Aylin said something, Pepper's face became even more ugly.

And when Aylin finished his last words, the look in Pepper's eyes towards Tony began to gradually become unkind.

"Tony, I think we need to have a serious talk!"

After giving Tony Stark a fierce look, Pepper turned to look at Aylin and asked hesitantly: "Aylin, since you can prepare a potion that can cure Norman Osborn's terminal illness, So the poison in Tony..."

Obviously.

After learning that Tony Stark was suffering from palladium poisoning, Pepper also thought of what Arryn had just mentioned, the extraordinary potion that cured Norman Osborn.

"The extraordinary potion that cured Norman Osborn was not prepared by me, but by an extraordinary potion master. I just happened to receive a gift from that master."

After explaining, when Pepper's eyes dimmed, Aylin continued: "Although palladium poisoning is a bit troublesome, it is nothing to the [Universal Antidote Potion] prepared by the master."

Um?

After hearing this sentence.

Whether it was Pepper or Tony Stark on the side, their eyes lit up.

Especially Tony Stark.

After realizing that he was poisoned by palladium, he quickly realized with his IQ that if the palladium element was allowed to spread, he would die soon.

For his own life.

Tony quickly started self-rescue.

He devoted himself to researching palladium treatment options, as well as replacing the palladium element and replacing the small reactor on his chest with a non-polluting element alternative.

For this reason, Tony Stark even reduced the frequency of going out to "do justice". Even the president of Stark Industries was handed over to Pepper.

But.

During this time, Tony Stark had tried every element known in the world, but could not find a new element that could replace palladium.

Even the data plan for palladium poisoning.

Tony Stark's gains were very few. Apart from drinking the bitter chlorophyll every day, Tony could not even find an effective way to inhibit the spread of palladium.

to this end.

Tony Stark even felt the emotion called "despair" in his heart.

It was precisely because of this that when Tony heard that the extraordinary potion in Aylin's hand could really cure his palladium poisoning, his eyes lit up.

"Is there still the [Universal Antidote Potion] prepared by the master that you mentioned?"

Looking at Aunt Pepper's hopeful eyes, Aylin didn't do anything to deliberately hide or make people appetizing.

"I do still have the [Universal Antidote Potion]. If Aunt Pepper wants it, I can even give you one. But..."

Aylin looked at Tony Stark aside, and then continued: "However, the root cause of Mr. Stark's physical problems is not palladium poisoning. Even if the [Universal Antidote Potion] removes the palladium poisoning from his body, It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. With the frequency with which Mr. Stark wears the armor, I am afraid that in a few months, he will accumulate enough palladium poisoning to be fatal. "

After hearing this, Pepper pondered for a few seconds and then suddenly asked: "What if Tony doesn't wear that damn armor anymore?"

After hearing this, Aylin glanced at Pepper who spoke out, and then said: "If the big light bulb on Mr. Stark's chest is just functioning normally, then a [Universal Antidote Potion] can last for at least a few years for Mr. Stark. Even ten years of life.”

After hearing this number, Pepper breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's enough. If there is a buffer of a few years or even ten years, with the financial resources of Stark Industries, it is completely possible to set up a special department to develop an antidote for palladium poisoning regardless of cost. For such a long time, I believe A cure for palladium poisoning can definitely be developed... You're right, Tony!"

Tony Stark, who was stared at by Pepper, did not immediately answer Pepper's question. Instead, he asked Aylin: "How much of the potion you mentioned do you have on hand?"

This question is somewhat straight to the point.

After smiling, Aylin did not hide anything, "The master gave me a dozen at the beginning. Except for the share given to Norman Osborne, I did not use the rest."

Subtract one portion from a dozen, which means there are still eleven portions left.

With so many [Universal Antidote Potions], one copy can extend Tony's life by a few to more than ten years.

That is to say, if Tony no longer wants to be the so-called Iron Man, these extraordinary potions can even be used by Tony for a lifetime.

When Pepper heard this, she was truly relieved.

Even Tony Stark felt excited about surviving a desperate situation when he heard that there were so many [Universal Antidote Potions] in Aylin's hand.

But Tony's excitement was a little different from Pepper's.

What he was thinking was that with so many finished [Universal Antidote Potion] available, he believed that he could definitely reproduce a potion similar to [Universal Antidote Potion].

Until then.

Does it mean that even if he can't find a new element that can replace the palladium element, he can still rely on the [Universal Antidote Potion] and continue to be his Iron Man?

Think of this.

Before Pepper could say anything disgusting, Tony Stark took the initiative and said: "For the sake of helping your friend collect the body yesterday, can you sell me two copies of the [Universal Antidote Potion] you mentioned? Don't worry, No. I’ll buy it at whatever price Man Osborne bought it for, and I won’t let you suffer.”

To the end.

Tony Stark's face also looked a little painful.

Norman Osborn purchased the [Universal Antidote Potion] for a price of almost 10 billion US dollars.

If he wanted to buy two copies, it would cost a full $20 billion.

$20 billion is not $2 million.

What a huge fortune this is.

Even Tony Stark, who had long regarded money as a series of numbers, felt extremely heartbroken.

But compared to money.

Tony Stark undoubtedly takes his own life more seriously.

Two tens of billions of dollars were spent to buy two copies of [Universal Antidote Potion]. This sky-high price made Aylin on the side almost think that he had heard wrong.

Norman Osborne's life hung on a thread.

Of course, we will do whatever it takes to cure illnesses and save lives.

Even then, he was willing to trade 5% of Osborne Group's shares for the [Universal Antidote Potion], but he was influenced by Aylin's hypnosis and bought it at a premium.

Otherwise, who knows whether the extremely cold-blooded Norman Osborn would hire someone to kill someone and rob Aylin of the [Universal Antidote Potion].

After all, he had already carried countless lives on his hands.

It is precisely because of this that Aylin doesn't believe that Tony doesn't know how much of a premium it is to buy a [Universal Antidote Potion] with 10 billion US dollars.

But in this case, Tony is still willing to buy at this price.

It seems that the anxiety and despair in my heart about the palladium element are much more serious than I imagined!

certainly.

For Aylin.

There is a scapegoat who is willing to spend 10 billion U.S. dollars to buy the [Universal Antidote Potion], which is undoubtedly a sure profit.

Therefore, he did not refuse.

After leaving the sentence "waiting".

Aylin turned around again and walked up to the second floor.

On the side, Pepper, who had witnessed the whole process of this sky-high price transaction, opened his mouth slightly.

In the end, he still didn't stop Aylin who was going upstairs.

Although the price of the [Universal Antidote Potion] is a bit outrageous, one of the two people present is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so what reason does she have to stop them? After all, these two people are one of the closest people to her.

···········

soon.

Aylin walked down from the second floor again.

But this time Aylin came down with three more tubes of [Universal Antidote Potion] in his hand.

After Aylin handed two tubes of [Universal Antidote Potion] to Tony Stark.

Tony Stark immediately said: "I don't have 20 billion in cash on hand. I will test it when I go back. If this medicine can really remove the palladium poisoning from my body as you said, If so, then I will be like Norman Osborn and trade these two [Universal Antidote Potions] with Stark Industries shares with a market value of 20 billion. Now Stark Industries’ stocks are rising sharply. Believe me, you Make a lot of money.”

Arryn was not surprised to hear that Tony planned to use shares of Stark Industries to pay off debts.

After all, although Tony Stark is a famous billionaire, no billionaire in the Federation would leave such a huge fortune in the bank to gather dust.

Arryn did not resist using shares of Stark Industries to pay off the debt.

After all, as Tony Stark said, after Tony Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man, Stark Industries' stock skyrocketed.

Using $20 billion worth of Stark Industries stock to pay off debts, Aylin did not suffer a loss. On the contrary, it can be said that he made a lot of money.

Therefore, after nodding, Aylin acquiesced to the transaction method Tony mentioned.

"Can!"

After finishing speaking, Aylin turned around and walked aside, handing the remaining tube of [Universal Antidote Potion] to Pepper.

"Aunt Pepper, this [Universal Antidote Potion] is for you."

After seeing Aylin hand the remaining [Universal Antidote Potion] into his arms, Pepper subconsciously pushed the [Universal Antidote Potion] back.

"No, this is too expensive, I can't have it!"

After all, Pepper just witnessed with his own eyes how "precious" this [Universal Antidote Potion] is.

No matter how good the relationship between Ai Lin and her was, she could not accept such an expensive gift with peace of mind.

After seeing Pepper's appearance, Aylin smiled and said: "Don't worry, Aunt Pepper, it's not as precious as you think. I think there are no other people in this world except Norman Osborn and Mr. Stark. No one except the super rich people would buy such an extraordinary potion at such an exaggerated price.”

Aylin's words were not deliberately lowered or anything like that.

So Tony Stark, who heard clearly from the side, even twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Did this guy tell me that my purchase was expensive in front of me?

This is a bit too much!

············

At this time, Aylin also forced this [Universal Antidote Potion] into Pepper's hands.

Not waiting for Pepper to say no again.

Aylin leaned directly into Pepper's ear and whispered: "Believe me, Aunt Pepper, Mr. Stark will use this [Universal Antidote Potion] in the future..."

I don’t know if it was Aylin’s last words that moved Pepper or something else.

In the end, Pepper accepted the [Universal Antidote Potion] given to him by Aelin.

············

I don’t know if it was Aylin’s last words about being taken advantage of that hurt Tony Stark’s face, or he was eager to go back and study it after getting the [Universal Antidote Potion].

Let’s see if the [Universal Antidote Potion] mentioned by Aylin can really eliminate his palladium poisoning.

In short, shortly after getting the [Universal Antidote Potion], Tony Stark left the Arryn family in a hurry.

After discussing the specific matters regarding the Joker's funeral with Aylin, Pepper quickly left.

After both of them left.

Aylin's eyes flickered slightly after closing the door.

Speaking of which, having been promoted to [Magician], it was time for him to verify his previous guesses.
