Tony, brimming with self-importance, thought to himself, 'The great Tony Stark has arrived in his beloved New York City today.'
Facing the swarm of reporters, he skillfully answered their questions as he entered the venue. He was immediately stunned by the assembly inside.
The President, scientists, a queen, a prime minister, global superstars...
All sorts of recognizable and unfamiliar men and women were gathered there. Even the upcoming United Nations summit in New York, in a few days, probably wouldn't have such a powerful lineup.
And amidst this gathering of celebrities, Bai Ye, surrounded by everyone, held the absolute center position.
Even Tony Stark had to admit, what a handsome man, reminiscent of himself in his younger days.
'I've already claimed the titles of billionaire, playboy, and inventor. Perhaps I should try being a superhero.'
'The parties I threw before only had quantity, not quality. Next time, I'll throw a party as grand as this one.'
Tony Stark thought to himself, his steps light as he approached Bai Ye, one hand on his hip, and said confidently, "Hey, kid, I'm Tony Stark. I think you should know who I am."
What is with this show-off? What a pain. Bai Ye rolled his eyes inwardly and said, "I have a bit of an impression. I remember you're Howard Stark's son, the… Tony, right?"
This immediately soured Stark's expression. He had always been resentful of his father's attitude towards him in his childhood. Bai Ye's words clearly implied that he was not as good as his father.
"I think you should remember me for who I am," Stark emphasized, but Bai Ye's gaze was no longer on him.
"Are the people almost here? Let's start as soon as possible," Bai Ye turned his head and instructed Kingpin.
Kingpin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then took the microphone and raised his hands high, saying, "Everyone, follow my lead. We'll take the elevator in an orderly fashion to the top floor of the building, where we will begin the book's explanation and signing event."
Finally starting, huh?
A hint of anticipation welled up in everyone's hearts. After seeing Bai Ye's performance just now, it was impossible to say they weren't yearning for extraordinary power, even if the probability was very small.
Seeing that Bai Ye had completely ignored him, Stark felt a surge of frustration. However, before he could speak again, Bai Ye's figure vanished from sight, leaving behind an afterimage as he ascended towards the rooftop.
The sudden disappearance startled Stark, followed by a growing anger. What was this guy's problem? He didn't give him any face at all.
What an arrogant brat.
At this moment, Stark was ready to leave. He was always the one who stood people up, he'd never been mocked like this in public. He wasn't staying in this place any longer.
"Sir, there's a video here you might want to see," Jarvis's voice came through Stark's earpiece. A video was then transmitted to his phone.
He opened his phone and watched the live broadcast, seeing Bai Ye using Inner Strength and hearing him say that the secrets were in a book. Stark, who had been about to leave, immediately stopped in his tracks.
Maybe... I'll stay and watch? Thinking about the advertised aphrodisiac effects, Tony Stark, who had just been indignant, shamefully hesitated.
Being middle-aged, his playboy days weren't as wild as when he was young, mainly because his body couldn't keep up. Even a little improvement would be great.
Watching the crowd head for the elevator, the flamboyant Tony felt a little awkward as he blended into the flow, going up with everyone else.
It's not embarrassing to boost your performance, right?
During the orderly ascent, everyone in the elevator was quietly chatting, trying not to disturb others.
Inside the elevator, Nick Fury turned his head with a blank expression. The miniature camera on his chest was uploading information about everyone present to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, pulling up everyone's files.
In front of him, Professor X, in his wheelchair, was quietly conversing with Jean.
"Why are mutants here too? Does Kingpin have such a wide network?" Nick Fury was a bit baffled.
They had records of everyone invited through official channels. That meant Professor X was privately invited by Kingpin?
It wasn't just the mutants. Nick Fury glanced sideways and saw a woman in the elevator who was also bald, but with a refined and composed air.
Who is this one? Nick Fury felt like things were getting out of control.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence had no information on this person; she didn't appear in any official records, and every investigation turned up nothing.
Under his gaze, the woman seemed to notice and gracefully turned, nodding slightly in greeting.
Nick Fury, deciding he couldn't just sit around, resolved to approach and talk. But the next moment, the elevator dinged as it reached the top floor, and everyone stepped into the giant conference room.
The entire conference room was vast, capable of accommodating hundreds of people. The walls were covered in deep blue velvet, creating a sense of tranquility and solemnity.
Below the stage, rows of seats were arranged in perfect order. But what first caught everyone's attention was that each seat had a thin booklet placed on the right armrest.
'What's this?' Someone, curious, hurried forward and sat in their pre-assigned seat, picking up the booklet.
On the cover was written: Everyone Can Cultivate, Book Preface.
"This..." Everyone wore expressions of contemplation and annoyance. Why make selling a book so mysterious?
Kingpin walked to the front of the stage and lightly clapped his hands, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"I believe that after over a month of publicity, everyone should be filled with curiosity regarding Mr. Bai's published book, and perhaps some skepticism about the effectiveness of the promotion."
Kingpin looked at the people below the stage and spoke slowly, "But I want to say that the content of the promotion is entirely true. You will understand once you finish reading the booklet in your hands."
"Before formally inviting Mr. Bai to the stage to speak, please take three to five minutes to browse the preface. You will understand what a groundbreaking thing Mr. Bai Ye has done."
"In 1492, Columbus discovered the New World. And today, Mr. Bai Ye will allow everyone to discover the gold hidden within their own bodies."
"Ladies and gentlemen, as long as you read the preface in your hands, you will know that the future has arrived."
Watching Kingpin's impassioned speech on stage, everyone shook their heads helplessly. They all considered Kingpin to be a high-purity crystal of Bai Ye, a true "Bai-fan."
With this thought in mind, several people turned their attention to the books and began to read them, to see if this so-called future had truly arrived. Going on sale tomorrow
