Chapter 172: Sky-high Deals

Looking at Pepper, who had a hint of panic and fear in her eyes.

Tony, who was inexplicably a little distressed, subconsciously said with a hard mouth: "How is it possible, it's just palladium poisoning, how can it kill me!" I'm almost ready to figure out the antidote, and if I just give me a little more time, I'll be able to solve this little problem······"

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

Tony, who seemed to realize what he had admitted, suddenly glanced at Erin, who was the initiator on the side, with a look of resentment.

But.

Erin ignored his resentment and continued, "The toxin in Mr. Stark's body comes from the large light bulb on his chest, which provides Mr. Stark with a powerful source of power and energy, and at the same time, it constantly erodes his body. ”

"Every time I put on the armor and activate the big light bulb on his chest with high power, it is actually accelerating the spread of palladium poisoning, and at the same time, it is also overdrawing Mr. Stark's life."

"Mr. Stark himself should be well aware of this, but it's clear that our Mr. Stark is now obsessed with his superhero plot!"

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

"It's understandable to be obsessed with the glory of being a superhero, and if you change to a toxin, with Mr. Stark's financial resources, there will definitely be a solution, but palladium poisoning now seems to be an incurable terminal disease."

"Before the toxins in palladium completely erode his entire body, is Mr. Stark really sure that he will overcome this world's problems and find a solution to palladium poisoning?"

"After all, judging by the rate at which the palladium poisoning in Mr. Stark's body spreads, it may be ······ in a few months."

With every word Ering, Pepper's face became more ugly.

And when Erin finished his last sentence, Pepper's eyes began to gradually become unkind when he looked at Tony.

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

After glaring at Tony Stark fiercely, Pepper turned to look at Erin and asked with some hesitation, "Erin, since you can configure a potion that can cure Norman Osborne's terminal illness, then Tony's poison ······"

Obviously.

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

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

After explaining, when Pepper's gaze had just dimmed a little, Erin continued: "Although palladium poisoning is a bit troublesome, it is nothing to the [Universal Antidote] that master has configured. ”

Well?

After hearing this.

Whether it's Pepper or Tony Stark on the side, it's all a sight to behold.

Especially Tony Stark.

After realizing that he was poisoned with palladium, with his IQ, he quickly realized that if he allowed the palladium element to spread, it would not be long before he would die.

For their own lives.

Tony quickly turned on to save himself.

He has been researching a treatment plan for palladium, as well as replacing palladium and replacing the small reactor in his chest with a non-polluting alternative.

For this reason, Tony Stark even reduced the frequency of going out to "do chivalrous deeds", and even the president of Stark Industries, he handed it over to Pepper.

But.

During this time, Tony Stark had tried all the elements known in the world, but had not been able to find a new element that could replace palladium.

Even the palladium poisoning information program.

Tony Stark had very little to gain, and apart from drinking the bitter chlorophyll every day, Tony couldn't even find a way to effectively inhibit the spread of palladium.

For this.

Tony Stark's heart even flooded with the emotion called "despair" for a while.

It was precisely for this reason that Tony's eyes lit up when he heard that the extraordinary potion in Erin's hand could really cure the palladium poisoning on his body.

"Is there any [Universal Antidote] that you said about being configured by a master?"

Looking at Aunt Pepper's hopeful eyes, Erin didn't do anything to deliberately hide it and hang people's appetites.

"[Universal Antidote] I do have it. I can even give you one if Aunt Pepper wants it. But ·····"

Erin looked at Tony Stark on the side, and then continued: "However, the root of Mr. Stark's physical problems is not in palladium poisoning, even if the [Universal Antidote] cleans up the palladium poisoning on his body, it is only a symptom and not a cure, with the frequency with which Mr. Stark wears the armor, I am afraid that in a few months, he will accumulate palladium poisoning that is enough to be fatal." ”

Pepper groaned for a few seconds before suddenly asking, "What if Tony doesn't wear that damn armor anymore?" ”

Hearing this, Erin glanced at Pepper, who was speaking, and then said, "If that big light bulb on Mr. Stark's chest is only functioning normally, then a [universal antidote] can at least prolong Mr. Stark's life for a few years, or even more than ten years." ”

Pepper breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this number.

"It's enough, if there is a buffer of a few years or even more than ten years, with the financial resources of Stark Industries, it is completely possible to set up a special department to develop an antidote to palladium poisoning at any cost, and in such a long time, I believe that a treatment for palladium poisoning will be developed······ You're right, Tony! ”

Tony Stark, who was stared at by Pepper, did not answer Pepper's question immediately, but asked Arryn, "How much of the potion you said, how much do you have in your hand?" ”

This question is a bit of a straight to the point.

After smiling, Erin didn't hide it, "The master gave me a dozen, and I didn't use the rest except for the one for Norman Osborne. ”

A dozen minus one, that is to say, there are eleven servings left.

With so many [universal antidotes], one can prolong Tony's life for a few years 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.

Pepper on the side was truly relieved when he heard this.

Even Tony Stark heard that there were so many [Universal Antidotes] in Erin's hands, and he was thrilled to survive.

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

What he thought was that with so many finished [Universal Antidote Elixir] in there, he believed that he could definitely reproduce a potion similar to the [Universal Antidote Elixir].

Until then.

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

Come to think of it.

Without waiting for Pepper to say that he hated it, Tony Stark took the initiative to speak: "For the sake of me yesterday for helping your friend collect the body, can you sell me two copies of the [Universal Antidote] you said, don't worry, Norman Osborne bought it at whatever price, I will buy it at whatever price, I won't let you suffer." ”

Speaking of which, in the end.

Tony Stark's face was also a little painful.

Norman Osborne bought the [Universal Antidote] for almost 10 billion US dollars a piece.

If he wants to buy two copies, it will cost a full 20 billion US dollars.

Two tens of billions of dollars is not two million dollars.

What a fortune this is.

Even Tony Stark, who has long seen money as a string of numbers, feels heartache.

But compared to money.

Tony Stark undoubtedly takes his life more seriously.

Two tens of billions of dollars to buy two copies of the [Universal Antidote], which can be called a sky-high price, made Erin on the side almost think that he had heard it wrong.

Norman Osborne's life hung by a thread.

In order to cure the disease and save lives, of course, everything will be done.

Even then, he was willing to trade the [Universal Antidote] with five percent of the shares of the Osborne Group, but he was still influenced by Erin's hypnosis and bought it at a premium.

Otherwise, who knows if the cold-blooded Norman Osborne would do something to buy a murderer and rob Arryn of the [Universal Antidote].

After all, his hands ······ I didn't know how many lives I had on my back.

It is precisely because of this that Erin does not know how much the premium is for 10 billion US dollars to buy a [Universal Antidote].

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

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

Of course.

For Aylin.

The unjust boss is willing to buy the [Universal Antidote] at the price of 10 billion US dollars, which is undoubtedly a sure thing.

Therefore, he did not refuse either.

After leaving the phrase "wait".

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

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

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

Although the price of the [Universal Antidote] was a bit outrageous, the two people present were willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, so what reason did she have to stop them, after all, these two people were among her closest people.

···········

Soon.

Erin walked down from the second floor again.

And in the hands of Ai Lin who came down this time, there were three more tubes of [Universal Antidote].

When Arryn handed Tony Stark two tubes of the Universal Antidote.

Tony Stark immediately said: "I don't have 20 billion cash in my hand, I will try it when I go back, if this potion can really remove the palladium poisoning from my body as you said, then I will be like Norman Osborne, with a market value of 20 billion Stark Industries shares to trade these two [universal antidotes], now Stark Industries' shares are rising sharply, believe me, you have made a lot of money." ”

Erin wasn't surprised to hear that Tony was planning to pay off his shares in Stark Industries.

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

Taking Stark Industries' shares to pay off the debt, Arryn did not resist.

After all, as Tony Stark said, after Tony Stark revealed that he was Iron Man, Stark Industries' stock skyrocketed.

With 20 billion US dollars worth of Stark Industries shares to pay off debts, Arryn did not suffer a loss, on the contrary, it can be said that he made a lot of money.

So, after nodding his head, Erin acquiesced to the way Tony said he was trading.

"Yes!"

After saying that, Erin turned around and walked to the side again, handing the remaining tube of [Universal Antidote] to Pepper.

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

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

"No, it's too expensive, I can't ask for it!"

After all, Pepper had witnessed with his own eyes just now how "precious" this [Universal Antidote] was.

No matter how good Erin was with her, she couldn't accept such a valuable gift with peace of mind.

When Erin saw Pepper's appearance, he smiled instead: "Don't worry, Aunt Pepper, it's not as precious as you think, I don't think anyone in this world will buy such a super-rich potion at such an exaggerated price except for Norman Osborne and Mr. Stark." ”

Erin's words didn't deliberately reduce his voice or anything.

So Tony Stark, who listened to it clearly, twitched the corners of his mouth.

This guy, is he saying in front of me that I bought it expensive?

That's a bit too much!

············

At this time, Erin also forcibly stuffed this [universal antidote] into Pepper's hand.

Without waiting for Pepper to refuse again.

Erin leaned directly into Pepper's ear and whispered, "Trust me, Aunt Pepper, this [Universal Antidote] will be used by Mr. Stark in the future·······"

I don't know if Erin's last words moved Pepper or what.

In the end, Pepper still accepted the [Universal Antidote] that Elinseh gave him.

············

I don't know if it was Erin's last words that almost pointed at him and stabbed Tony Stark's face, or if he got the [Universal Antidote] and desperately wanted to go back and study it.

Let's see if the [universal antidote] that Erin said can really clear his palladium poisoning.

In short, not long after getting the [Universal Antidote], Tony Stark left Arryn's house in a hurry.

Pepper also left quickly after discussing the details of the Joker's funeral with Erin.

After both of them left.

Erin's eyes flickered slightly as he closed the door.

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