Is My Reputation Not Big Enough?
Half a year had passed, and Harvey had already evolved 504 times. His hearing was extraordinarily sharp.
As long as he was willing to listen, even the slightest movement within a fifty-mile radius could not escape his ears.
Naturally, he had also overheard Sonia asking people everywhere for the contact information of those influential figures.
However, Harvey believed that everyone had their own way of doing things and their own methods of handling matters.
Although Sonia had not received an immediate response, this was only the beginning, so Harvey did not interfere.
Moreover, Sonia’s efficiency had always satisfied him, so there should not be any problems this time either.
Soon after, Harvey went straight to Tony’s villa.
Since Tony had completed his research on the gravity device and knew he did not need to worry about sales channels himself, he had given himself a few days off.
"How rare. Usually I visit you, but this time you’re visiting me."
"To celebrate the success of the research, I want to hold a celebration banquet tomorrow and invite the Void Cult members."
"Want to have a drink now?"
Tony was drinking and browsing the internet when he sensed a faint disturbance in the air behind him. He immediately knew who had arrived, then turned around, looked at Harvey, and smiled.
He now had a fairly clear understanding of the universe and knew that his invention would soon bring him a great deal of wealth.
Although this research had cost Harvey more than 800 million in development funds, Tony was not worried in the slightest.
What was 800 million? Back on Earth, even eight or ten billion would not have been a problem for him.
Though he was new to the universe and did not have much money on hand, once his gravity devices began selling, he would be able to repay it all within a year and bring a steady stream of wealth to himself and the Void Cult afterward.
"Sure. Let’s have a drink."
Seeing how happy Tony was, Harvey nodded and sat down on the sofa beside him.
"Why do you look like you’re in a bad mood?"
Tony found it strange that Harvey was actually free enough to come drink with him.
Harvey was wearing a suit of armor and a golden mask, so Tony could not see his face.
However, they had known each other for some time and understood each other’s personalities fairly well. They could grasp what the other was thinking without many words.
So even though he could not see Harvey’s expression, he could tell that Harvey was acting somewhat unusually.
The reason he asked was because he knew Harvey was not particularly fond of alcohol. After all, alcohol could not affect Harvey at all.
Naturally, Harvey preferred all kinds of tastier drinks and beverages.
"I’m not exactly in a bad mood. I was just wondering whether my reputation isn’t big enough yet."
Harvey paused when he heard that, then spoke.
"Come on, your reputation is already known throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. How much bigger do you want it to be?"
"You have no idea how shocked I was when I first browsed the internet and looked up information related to you."
Hearing this, Tony clapped his hands and spread them apart as he spoke loudly.
There were all kinds of rumors in the universe about the name Kassadin: the first Tier 3 Bounty Hunter in history. Some regarded Kassadin as a god, while others saw him as a monster or even a disaster.
However, the most widespread and widely accepted title in the universe was God of the Void Kassadin.
It could be said that no matter which rumor it was, all of them described how powerful Kassadin was.
If he could one day reach Harvey’s current level, Tony would consider himself powerful enough.
Incidentally, Tony had also looked up information about God King Odin and Ancient One, Sorcerer Supreme.
Harvey had not lied to him. Even in the universe, those two were renowned top figures whose names shook the Milky Way Galaxy, making all sorts of demons and monsters afraid to cause trouble on Earth.
But Tony quickly came to his senses. Since Harvey had suddenly started thinking this way, there had to be a reason.
"What happened?"
So Tony stood up, poured Harvey a glass of wine, and asked curiously.
"It’s about the sales channels. I told Sonia she could just use my name."
"She didn’t use my name. Instead, she’s been humbling herself and talking to people everywhere."
Harvey explained.
"So that’s what this is about. Don’t doubt it—your reputation is already more than big enough."
"But it’s perfectly normal for everyone to think and act differently."
"You should know Miss Sonia’s abilities better than I do."
"Every task assigned to her gets completed beautifully."
"Your reputation is huge, but mine isn’t."
"My invention has only just been created. I haven’t built a production line, much less promoted it."
"If I want to sign a major order in a short time and start making money immediately,"
"and avoid a situation where the goods I produce cannot be sold, piling up inventory and wasting huge amounts of capital, then of course I need to lower my stance and negotiate with people."
"Only after confirming both supply and demand can we ensure healthy cash flow and make big money."
"And going around humbly negotiating with people will only happen this one time."
"Once a major order succeeds, I’ll naturally have a reputation too."
"With the gravity device I have now and the inventions I’ll make later, people will naturally come to contact me. There will be no need to humbly seek people out for negotiations."
Tony was somewhat speechless after hearing Harvey’s words.
He and Sonia mostly communicated directly through the Universal Communicator, and as long as he did not contact her in the middle of the night,
from six in the morning to midnight, Sonia would answer almost instantly whenever he called.
Then whatever he needed, Sonia would obtain it for him as quickly as possible, without ever voicing a single complaint.
It made Tony wonder what kind of life Sonia had lived before.
Her competence and efficiency were even better than Pepper’s, so he understood that Harvey had indeed chosen her as his butler because of her abilities.
"That makes sense."
After hearing Tony’s words, Harvey fell into thought and stopped dwelling on it.
"It’s good that you understand."
"Miss Sonia hasn’t used your name because she thinks this is only a small matter that can be resolved directly. There’s no need to invoke your great name."
Seeing that Harvey had come around, Tony took a sip from his glass and spoke.
Harvey was too powerful, so perhaps his dictionary did not contain the option of humbly negotiating with others.
But for most people seeking wealth, when they needed someone else to buy from them, they naturally had to find ways to accomplish the things they wanted to accomplish.
Once their reputation was established and others came begging to buy, it would no longer be them begging others—it would be others begging them.
