Tycoon Tony

After hearing Tony’s reassurance, Harvey stopped dwelling on it. If Sonia needed help, she would naturally say so.

But since he had agreed to have a drink with Tony, Harvey chatted with him over drinks for a while before heading back.

Tony noticed that Harvey had not mentioned coming over tomorrow to celebrate with him.

Tony did not bring it up either. He understood Harvey, after all. Harvey’s identity in the universe was different from his identity on Blue Star.

Especially on Void Island, there were many occasions where Harvey was not suited to appear in public.

Tony planned to contact Pepper and share the good news once he had confirmed a buyer for the gravity device.

He was also very clear about some of his plans for the future.

Over the next seven months, barring any accidents, he would definitely have enough money to buy a cosmic fighter.

Once he earned more money, he would buy a medium-sized Cosmic Battleship and start moving things from the universe to Blue Star.

Now that the gravity device had been developed, he still needed to research wormhole jump technology and more advanced thrusters.

By enhancing Jarvis’s computing intelligence, his Iron Man armor would become even more powerful.

That would ensure that he would not expose his identity on Blue Star anytime soon.

He had to learn how to manufacture cosmic fighters and Cosmic Battleships.

Only then could he lead Blue Star into the interstellar age and connect it with the universe.

As long as Blue Star connected with the universe, the Void Cult’s reputation would surely spread there as well.

By then, even if he was exposed, it would not bring him much trouble—at most, some jealousy and gossip.

Tony also knew that as the Void Cult grew and gained more members, Harvey had gradually raised the threshold for selection.

For the first batch, which included him and Pepper, Harvey had personally given them the opportunity. They had not needed any tests at all.

Then came Renoli’s batch, who had already needed to undergo a four-day test.

Now, in less than a year, the Void Cult had already reached 237 members.

If Harvey had not made the test so mysterious, merely having people look at the Stone Tablet, and had instead relaxed the requirements so everyone could pass unconditionally, the Void Cult would have at least tens of thousands of members by now.

Still, this gradual growth did have its benefits.

Although there were rumors outside that the Void Cult was putting on an act or deceiving people, there had been no cases of members causing trouble everywhere, much less violating the commandments.

Once he helped Blue Star overcome its crisis and led it into the universe.

He would most likely take Pepper with him into the universe.

In a few decades, even if the Void Cult had not fully expanded and could not compare with the Asgard established by God King Odin.

As long as God of the Void Kassadin—Harvey—was still there.

Then those of them who had joined the Void Cult would have an absolutely trustworthy and dependable backer in the universe.

Tony then instructed his secretary to find more chefs.

Afterward, he personally contacted the various members on Void Island, telling them the good news that he was holding a celebratory banquet and treating them to a huge feast.

After his status on Blue Star rose higher and higher, occasions such as masquerade balls, charity balls, and celebratory banquets had mostly become opportunities to exchange pleasantries, see whether he could meet new people, and discuss cooperation. As for the food, people usually barely ate any of it.

But for the Void Cult, they would absolutely attend any large celebratory banquet.

After all, it meant a huge amount of energy and accelerated their evolution.

So, almost at the same time, every member of a Void Cult group chat received the news.

"Tycoon, rich guy!"

"When is it being held? We’re out on a mission right now, but we should make it back by tomorrow afternoon."

"Tycoon Tony Stark is treating us. We have to go."

"I still have to work tomorrow."

"This is a tycoon treating us. How much can you even make in one day? One meal might be worth who knows how many days of your wages."

"You’re right. Then I’ll take a day off."

"+1"

"+1"

The Void Cult’s group chat instantly became lively and erupted with excitement because Tony was holding a celebratory banquet.

Because of the Void Cult’s commandments, many people had quit their jobs after receiving the blessing.

However, some still remained at their posts, wanting to wait until they became stronger before considering quitting and earning more money.

There had long been rumors in the group that Tony Stark treated people to a feast every so often, making those who had never attended drool with envy.

Now that Tony Stark was directly inviting everyone, they had to go no matter what.

The creator of this group chat was Sonia, though Tony had asked her to create it.

Sonia was still busy making contacts when she suddenly heard the notification chime ringing nonstop. She opened the group chat, saw the lively scene, and smiled knowingly.

Mr. Tony’s arrival not only meant that the Void Cult would no longer need to fear funding issues in the future, but also made the Void Cult more cohesive.

Sonia obviously would not attend, because Mr. Kassadin could not participate in such an occasion.

She could hardly feast and drink over there while leaving Mr. Kassadin alone at home.

However, Sonia felt it was necessary to ask Mr. Kassadin about the funds needed for the celebratory banquet.

So Sonia left her room and went upstairs, where she saw Mr. Kassadin standing on the balcony and gazing into the distance.

"Mr. Kassadin, Mr. Tony Stark is planning to hold a lively celebratory banquet."

"How much funding should we approve for Mr. Tony Stark?"

Sonia stopped five meters behind Harvey and asked softly.

"Just reimburse him after he finishes hosting it."

Harvey did not specify an amount. He would cover it all.

He still had two billion on hand. Even if the meal cost tens of millions, he did not care.

Tony was now only one step away from selling the gravity device. Once it was sold, given Tony’s personality, Harvey would not even need to say anything—Tony would take the initiative to repay him.

Besides, Tony probably had not held a large charity ball or celebratory banquet in a long time.

On Blue Star, Tony could not show his real face.

Now that he was in the universe and his research had achieved such excellent results, if Tony was not allowed to hold a grand celebration, how could someone as flamboyant as him possibly endure it?

"Understood. There is one more matter I need to report to you, Mr. Kassadin."

"Someone has agreed to place a large order worth one billion."

"However, they have one condition."

Sonia understood Mr. Kassadin’s intentions and nodded slightly before speaking.

"What condition?"

Harvey asked.

"They said they hoped you could give them an opportunity to speak with you."

Sonia stated the condition the other party had proposed.

"You mentioned my name?"

Harvey paused before asking.

"No. But after the other party learned that I was the one contacting them, they made this request and asked me to relay it to you for your decision."

Sonia shook her head and explained.
