Chapter 205: Palladium Poisoning

~10 min read 1,882 words

A black Pagani drove over from the distance.

With a slap, Stark got out of the car wearing a gray T-shirt.

"Is this the Ultimate Evolution Base he spoke of?"

Stark looked at the old-fashioned villa in front of him, hesitated for a moment, walked over, and knocked on the door.

"Ye Nan, the guest is here."

"You can't be considered a guest, late Stark." Potts opened the door, stood at the entrance with her hands on her hips.

"Potts, why is it you?" Stark was startled by Potts. He clearly remembered sending Potts away; how could Potts be here?

"It must be Ye Nan, it must be that bastard Ye Nan." Stark roared in his heart, gritting his teeth, trying hard to curse Ye Nan. "That damn bastard, he doesn't do good things, only stupid things."

"Why can't I be here?" Potts stood to the side, clearing a path. "Ye Nan invited me to visit his base, does it bother you?"

"Because I'm afraid your cold will pass to me." Stark walked past Potts's body. "Look at you, your snot is almost flowing down, it's disgusting. If someone here has a cold, it must be you who passed it on."

"You're wearing so little yourself, and you caught a cold, yet you blame me? I am your secretary, I have the right to look after you." A flash of anger crossed Potts's face. "I heard you donated all the art in your house. Is that true?"

"Hmm, because those oil paintings take up too much space, and I don't like looking at them, so I donated them all." Stark nodded, without any surprise.

"But do you know? That was what I collected over ten years..."

"Please note, those are my oil paintings."

Stark interrupted Potts's words. "Besides, we are guests today, and I don't want to come here to argue with you."

"But I am your secretary, I have the right to know what you have been doing recently. Your speeches in public recently are really too strange. Do you really consider yourself a hero?" Potts advised earnestly. "Do you know that the outside world is in an uproar now? Don't mess around anymore, Mr. Stark. Your messing around has brought great trouble to the company, do you know?"

"I know, I know." Stark said impatiently. "But the company is mine, I can bring it trouble however I want."

"But I am your secretary..."

"Because he has already written his will."

Ye Nan's voice suddenly came over, interrupting Potts's words.

Ye Nan's words made Potts and Stark's expressions change simultaneously. Both were shocked by Ye Nan's words, but one was because of fear, and the other was because of disbelief.

"What did you say?" There was a tremor in Potts's voice that even she herself didn't know.

She had long harbored feelings for Stark. For her, Stark was a part of her life. But now, Ye Nan told her: a part of your life won't last long.

Perhaps, writing a will doesn't mean anything to ordinary people. After all, many people like to take precautions, and people have to die eventually. But Stark is different. He has no heirs, and combined with his recent actions, he is very likely wanting to donate everything he has to society.

Thinking of this terrible possibility, Potts shuddered. She really didn't know what she would be like when Stark died.

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Seeing Potts's reaction, Stark immediately knew she was worried about him. Although he was happy in his heart, Stark was angry on the surface. "I haven't written any will at all. Ye Nan, don't talk nonsense, otherwise, we won't be friends anymore."

"I'm doing this for your own good. You probably think only you know about your poisoning situation. I told you long ago that using palladium would lead to poisoning." Ye Nan shook his head. "I warned you a long time ago not to use palladium as a material. You didn't listen. Now, you have probably fallen into a dilemma."

"On one side, you must rely on palladium as power to prevent fragments from entering your heart. On the other side, because of excessive use of palladium, your body is poisoned, and the palladium contained in your blood is increasing. Sooner or later, you will die because of this."

"Is what he said true?" Potts looked at Stark, wanting to get an answer from Stark, a negative answer.

"He is talking nonsense, talking rubbish. How could I not know my own body condition? There is absolutely no such situation as he said. If you don't believe me, look." Stark raised his hands and jumped a few times on the ground.

"Because you are afraid of others worrying, you deliberately hide it. But your unusual actions recently all prove this point. Stark, I know what you are thinking in your heart. It's nothing more than being afraid of Potts panicking, wanting to die quietly by yourself."

"But you forgot, palladium poisoning doesn't necessarily mean you have to die."

Ye Nan shook his head. "As for not being brothers, I think you'd better not say that."

"Do you have any way to save Stark?" Potts looked at Ye Nan with hopeful eyes. She was afraid Ye Nan would shake his head, afraid of hearing something unfavorable to Stark from Ye Nan's mouth.

Ye Nan didn't answer Potts's question, but looked at Stark. "Stark, don't you understand Miss Potts's feelings for you?"

"You two, clearly loving each other, but because of your pride, you dare not say it out loud, and can only live ambiguously. I really feel sorry for you two."

"You really are meddlesome, Ye Nan." Stark said angrily. "Believe it or not, I'll beat you up."

"Without the iron suit, you are not my opponent." Ye Nan said with a smile. "If you insist on taking action, I don't mind cleaning you up."

"You..." Stark's face was full of anger, but he didn't say he would clean Ye Nan up again.

He knew very well that even wearing the iron suit, he might not be able to defeat Ye Nan. Without wearing the iron suit, he definitely couldn't beat Ye Nan. Forcing a fight with Ye Nan would only be asking for trouble.

"Alright, Stark, I called you here not to talk about these things. I invited you here, firstly to give you the shares of the ICQ company, and secondly to solve your poisoning situation." Ye Nan laughed.

"How to solve it?" Hearing Ye Nan say he could solve Stark's poisoning situation, Potts couldn't help but interrupt.

"I once obtained a substance called Aztec. This substance usually emits a radiation that strengthens human cells, causing human cells to move at high speeds, generating energy, and strengthening physical activity, strengthening resistance to toxins. Of course, there are other benefits."

"However, this radiation also has a disadvantage, which is that cells that have received Aztec radiation will unconsciously produce a substance. This substance will not only paralyze the human nervous system but will also be excreted from the human pores, turning into a special gas with hallucinogenic properties. Interestingly, this substance is only produced from cells under moonlight."

"Is it similar to plant photosynthesis?" Stark analyzed calmly. "I have never heard of this thing. It shouldn't be a product of our Earth, right? Alien substance. Ye Nan, it seems you have obtained something extraordinary."

"Just lucky. Stark, this substance happens to solve your poisoning situation, and it will also strengthen your body, making you become increasingly powerful as time passes." Ye Nan said with a smile.

"As powerful as your strength?" Stark suddenly asked.

"That is impossible. My strength does not come entirely from the Aztec substance." Ye Nan said. "So it is impossible for you to surpass me."

"Then I won't accept the radiation. My body has no problems at all, and I am not poisoned. Everything is just you talking nonsense here." Stark refused.

He already owed Ye Nan too many favors, and he didn't want to continue accepting Ye Nan's gifts. He was a proud person, and he didn't want to continue like this.

"If you don't think about yourself, think about Potts. Are you really willing to let Potts live alone in the future?" Ye Nan shook his head. "As for you saying I'm talking nonsense, you just need to test it."

Ye Nan's hand was incredibly fast. One could see a light flash in front of Stark, and a wound appeared on Stark's wrist, while a drop of blood was sliding on Ye Nan's finger.

"You..." Stark looked at his wrist, then saw Ye Nan take out an instrument, and immediately pounced on him. But the next moment, he flew back and hit the door.

"Stark, I said, without the iron suit, you are not my opponent." Ye Nan slowly retracted his fist and smiled lightly. "You played the human kite with me last time, now I'll give you a lesson."

"Bastard Ye Nan, don't you manage my affairs." Stark shook his head. Although Ye Nan was merciful to him just now, that power still made him feel a bit dizzy.

"Stark, what's wrong with you?" Potts walked up and helped Stark up. "How can you be like this? Ye Nan has good intentions."

"Are you blaming me?" Stark's expression changed, becoming ugly.

"I am your secretary, I have the responsibility to care about your physical health." Potts looked away, unwilling to continue looking at Stark's stinky face.

"You two." Ye Nan shook his head.

Stark and Potts were a pair of enemies. Clearly liking each other, but refusing to say it out loud. Potts always cared about Stark in the name of being a secretary. In fact, what secretary would manage so much, even managing the boss's private affairs?

As for Stark, it was even more absurd. Clearly longing for true love and liking Potts, yet messing around everywhere, acting unrestrained in front of the public and media, having a straight face in front of company employees, and always liking to tease Potts and say some unpleasant things to argue with her.

"Forget it, this is all I can do. The next things depend on yourselves."

Ye Nan dripped the blood onto the instrument specifically for checking and analyzing blood. With a beep, the instrument gave the analysis result.

"The blood contains a large amount of palladium."

"Stark, now you have nothing to say, right? Let's go, come with me to receive the Aztec radiation. I know you don't want to accept my help, but we are brothers. As a brother, I won't watch you head toward death."

"And if you really feel bad, come and help me. My Noah's Ark needs you to help me solve the power system."

"Hmph, so your goal is here. Forget it, for the sake of you being my brother, I'll help you once. And your Aztec radiation, consider it the reward I help you advance."

Stark snorted coldly, his expression unhappy. However, Ye Nan knew this was caused by Stark's pride, so he didn't care too much.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

A knock on the door suddenly sounded outside. Hearing it, Ye Nan immediately walked over and opened the door.

"Peter, you're here." ===== CHAPTER 206 =====
