"Boss, Osborn Group is willing to offer twenty million, but that's their bottom line."
Half an hour later, Red Queen said to Levi.
There had already been several rounds of bidding.
Although Levi and Norman Osborn had a partnership, business was business.
If Kingpin insisted on paying more than Norman Osborn, Levi couldn't go against that, could he? What's more, this was originally Kingpin's idea, and Norman Osborn only followed later.
If the two offered the same price, Levi would definitely choose Norman Osborn.
That was the basis of their cooperation.
Cooperation couldn't make Levi lose money.
Fortunately, Kingpin had already given up.
Because his team analyzed that this was all hype from Levi and Tony Stark, and that it definitely wouldn't escalate into a real fight.
After all, both were celebrities; it was impossible for them to genuinely act like petty thugs and get into a ring to fight.
That would be too embarrassing!
Tony Stark cared about his image the most and definitely wouldn't do that.
Levi didn't immediately agree. Instead, he said to Red Queen, "Tell Tony Stark this news. After it's done, we'll split it fifty-fifty. See how he responds."
Red Queen nodded.
A few minutes later, she said, "Tony Stark has agreed."
"That scoundrel really wants to fight!"
Levi reacted immediately... On the training ring, Tony Stark, wearing boxing gloves, was drenched in sweat.
Happy, also sweating profusely, watched him from the side. On the stage was a specially hired boxing coach, covered in muscles.
Happy had thought Tony Stark was just messing around and would definitely choose a female coach.
Who would have thought he was serious this time?
"Let's stop here for now."
Tony Stark paused, took off his gloves, and checked social media.
"They actually called me old. I'm going to beat him to death."
Tony Stark snorted coldly, then tagged Levi's account.
"You pick the location!"
At this, the onlookers cheered.
This was really going to be a fight!
Subsequently, he saw the message Levi sent him about the Osborn Group's sponsorship.
He had originally intended to use this buzz to have Stark Industries sponsor it himself.
But seeing the twenty million, he hesitated for a moment.
Sponsoring it himself would cost money; now he could earn money.
The only downside was slightly less traffic.
But that was no problem; him standing up there was the best publicity!
So he agreed.
Up until now, he thought Levi also wanted to fight.
After all, it was Levi who told reporters he wanted an 'octagon cage'; now he couldn't back down.
Happy said, "Tony, I looked at Levi's previous actions. He's always been piggybacking on your traffic. Now, he might also be using your fame to hype things up."
Tony Stark thought back.
It was true!
Ever since Levi appeared, he had been latching onto him.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't dislike Levi so much, because Levi had real talent.
But unfortunately, geniuses always disliked each other.
"Then what should I do?"
Tony said casually.
"Don't reply to him, don't let him hype it up."
Happy said bluntly.
This made Tony Stark glance at him and shake his head, saying, "Is it possible that I also want to hype things up?"
"I'm Tony Stark; all the beautiful women in the World should know me."
"Uh..."
Happy had overlooked this point.
Moreover, Tony had been responding all along precisely to create hype. He himself had bought a lot of traffic and hired Water armies.
Otherwise, how could he always be in the headlines?
Only by doing this could Stark Industries' stock keep rising.
Tony Stark was a'star'; when people saw him, they would think of Stark Industries, and then they would buy stocks.
One link after another.
If he were truly unknown, who would still have confidence in Stark Industries' stock?
"Capitalists' hearts are truly dirty."
Happy complained.
He would never reach such a height in his lifetime.
"Again, I'm rested!"
Tony Stark put on his gloves and went back up... In the office, Levi sat in his chair, deep in thought.
He had originally only wanted to generate some traffic, but now it seemed... Tony Stark was serious?
Since the other party was serious, he couldn't back down either.
A twenty-year-old young man being afraid of a middle-aged man nearing forty—that would be ridiculed to death.
Moreover... this hype was truly enticing; his reputation points kept rising.
He looked at the system.
[Super Serum Research Blueprint (Inferior Quality): A weakened version of the Super Serum, requiring fifty million reputation points to exchange.]
[Super Serum (Complete Version): The complete version of the Super Serum, requiring one hundred million reputation points to exchange.]
Are Super Serums really that expensive? Is there any justice?
Of course, the most terrifying thing in there was the [Superman Potion].
[Superman Potion (Super Villain World): It will grant ordinary people the strength of Superman, becoming a true Man of Steel, requiring reputation points to exchange...]
Levi counted, but he couldn't clearly count how many Zeros there were.
As expected, the poor rely on mutations, and the rich rely on technology!
How long would he have to accumulate reputation points to exchange for that?
Levi gave up.
"Relying on the system is unreliable; I still have to rely on myself."
Levi thought to himself and said to Red Queen, "Tony Stark hired a coach, right? Find one for me too."
"Boss, what martial arts techniques do you want to practice?"
Red Queen immediately asked.
"What do you recommend?"
"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Walrus Style, and Ground-Rolling Fist are the easiest to learn quickly."
Red Queen said after big data analysis.
Things like Taekwondo, in Red Queen's opinion, were too flashy.
What Boss needed now were practical skills!
Before Levi could choose, Eve, who couldn't sit still, said, "Boss, let me teach you."
"Oh?"
Levi asked, puzzled, "Eve, can you?"
In Levi's impression, Eve just went 'chop, chop, chop' with her Blood Blade.
Zero was pretty much the same...
Eve said softly, "Boss, the members of our airborne squad have mastered all martial arts techniques on Earth. This is an innate ability!"
This wasn't innate; Mothers Domain downloaded it for you... But no matter, this meant Levi didn't need to find a sweaty coach.
"Boss, I can teach you too."
Zero also stood up. Since Eve took the initiative, she wanted to be proactive too.
With Eve's appearance, the aloof Zero even developed a sense of crisis.
"Uh, never mind."
Levi immediately refused, thinking of Zero's weight.
Wouldn't he fall apart if Zero sat on him?
"Alright."
Zero seemed a little disappointed, but her emotions weren't strong.
Levi comforted her, "Zero, while Eve is teaching me, you'll be responsible for protecting me."
"I see."
Zero nodded, saying solemnly.
Subsequently, Levi prepared to go out and buy clothes for them.
Eve wanted to try the clothes of this World.
Levi, of course, wholeheartedly approved of this.
Before leaving, he opened his phone and tagged Tony Stark on social media.
"I will counter you with a bear hug!"
The hype must not stop!
