Strength Changes

Sonia now knew that Mr. Tony and Mr. Kassadin were not merely ordinary friends, but the kind of close friends who truly got along.

As far as she knew, Mr. Tony was the second person besides herself who knew Mr. Kassadin’s true nature.

However, Mr. Tony had also done a good job keeping things confidential, and no scandals regarding Mr. Kassadin had spread around the island.

"Will you be taking Miss Sonia with you when the time comes?"

Although Tony had no intention of exposing anything, he still asked the gossip question on his mind.

The question made Sonia’s heart tremble slightly, and she looked toward Mr. Kassadin.

"Tony, don’t joke around."

Seeing Tony’s gossipy expression, Harvey was somewhat speechless.

"I’m not joking. Miss Sonia has been taking care of you for so long."

"When you go back and no one else is there to serve you, will you be able to get used to it?"

"When I first came here, you immediately found me a secretary too."

"Without Pepper taking care of me, I definitely wouldn’t have adapted to the environment here."

Tony spread his hands and spoke with a serious expression.

"I know you need someone to take care of your daily life, but could you not sound so proud about it?"

Seeing Tony clearly unable to take proper care of himself yet looking so pleased with himself, Harvey felt rather helpless.

"It’s the truth. Why shouldn’t I say it?"

Tony did not care in the slightest.

"Sonia needs to watch over the island."

"There are many matters on the island that only Sonia can handle, so she can’t come with me."

"Besides, I lived perfectly well before anyone served me. At most, I’ll feel a little unaccustomed when I first get there."

Harvey glanced at Sonia, then looked at Tony as he spoke.

"The island really would have a problem without her."

Tony said this, then did not try to persuade him further. He merely spread his hands at Sonia, indicating that there was nothing he could do either.

As a seasoned player in love who had dated who knew how many women, how could Tony fail to see that Sonia had feelings for Harvey?

As long as Harvey nodded, Sonia would definitely throw herself into his arms.

However, for some reason, Harvey had never exposed their feelings or crossed that line.

If Harvey was embarrassed, or worried that clarifying their relationship would leave him constrained, Tony would not believe it even if he were beaten to death.

Tony himself was not afraid. Whenever he had the chance, he would go fool around outside, though at most he had to be more discreet and make sure Pepper did not find out.

With Harvey’s ability to cross tens of thousands of light-years in seconds and change his appearance at will, it would not be a problem for him to find a wife on every planet.

Moreover, after observing for the past ten months, Tony had found that while Sonia did not fully meet Harvey’s standard of being powerful in a partner—

She possessed the other two qualities besides strength: she was beautiful, intelligent, and exceptionally capable.

Seeing Mr. Tony’s gesture toward her, Sonia smiled and shook her head.

"I’m going back to work on the intelligent AI. I won’t disturb your time alone together."

Tony had originally been invited here to discuss work matters. He had only brought up returning to Blue Star because Sonia mentioned it earlier.

Now that the matter had been handled, Tony said a few words and immediately left.

"Don’t take Tony’s words seriously."

"His mouth is a little foul, but there’s nothing wrong with him as a person."

After watching Tony fly away in his Iron Man armor, Harvey looked at Sonia and spoke.

"Mm, I know."

Hearing the words "time alone together," Sonia felt a little embarrassed inside, but she did not show it. She merely smiled and nodded.

Seeing that Sonia neither blushed nor seemed bothered, Harvey honestly found it difficult to read her thoughts sometimes.

"When I go to Blue Star and am not here—"

"If you feel that the workload is too much, you can reduce some orders."

"Our lifespans are very long, and we have plenty of time. So even if we earn a little less money, it won’t be a problem."

"Your priority should be keeping an eye on the other members of the island and quickly making yourself stronger."

Since they had brought up returning to Blue Star, Harvey naturally gave her a few instructions.

Sonia understood from Mr. Kassadin’s words that this trip would likely last longer than his previous one.

"I’ll handle things according to my abilities, so Mr. Kassadin needn’t worry."

"Then I’ll get back to work. Now that I have Mr. Tony’s definite answer, I still haven’t replied to those people."

However, Sonia did not say that she hoped Mr. Kassadin would return soon. Given her position, she could not say such things, so she merely nodded slightly and spoke with a smile.

"Mm, go ahead."

Harvey nodded at her words.

Soon after Sonia left, Harvey was alone in the living room.

Harvey casually picked up the drink Sonia had prepared for him and took a sip.

He also began thinking about other matters.

Because there were currently no disaster-related monsters in the universe for him to eat, Harvey’s evolution speed had slowed considerably.

Now, each of Harvey’s evolutions required two million energy points.

He ate five meals a day, spending a great deal of money on food, and gained an average of 370,000 energy points per day.

Thus, after ten months, he had only evolved fifty-five more times.

His total number of evolutions had now reached 587.

Voidreaver Kha'Zix's various abilities had also undergone numerous evolutions.

Unseen Threat, evolution level 50: When there is only one target within five meters of the target fighting you, that target will enter a state of isolation. Against enemies in this state, your cutting and piercing abilities will be greatly enhanced.

Taste of Fear, evolution level 80: Instantly unleash forty silent strikes. If the enemy is in a state of isolation, its power will be greatly increased.

Void Spike, evolution level 80: Instantly release explosive spikes containing poison around yourself. Hitting living creatures will restore your life energy and accelerate the healing of all injuries. Current angle: 360 degrees. Coverage range: 10,000 meters.

If the target is in a state of isolation, its power and life energy absorption effect will be enhanced.

Leap, evolution level 80: Instantly erupt with terrifying power to leap and descend. Leap distance greatly increased, landing power tremendously increased, flight speed tremendously increased.

Void Assault, level 80: Enter the darkness of the Void. Your speed will receive a massive boost, and you can ignore all matter as you travel through the dark Void. While in darkness, no living creature will be able to discover you.

Void Skin, 150 evolutions; Mental Resistance, 65 evolutions; breathing, 2 evolutions.

Now, as long as he did not directly threaten Blue Star, Ancient One would not make a move against him.

Even if Ancient One did act, it would merely be troublesome for him. At worst, he could run away.

This strength gave Harvey confidence and a sense of security. Before all the great powers emerged, he had already gained sufficient ability to protect himself.

Now, as long as he did not let Thanos gather all six Infinity Stones—or gathered all six Infinity Stones himself—he would not have to worry about being wiped out by a snap.
