I know I was wrong, I'm willing to accept punishment. Don't do this to me.\" Skye cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia looked strange, had Skye misunderstood something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Skye, Boss is currently on a date with a beautiful lady, so he doesn't have time for you right now. He might be free tomorrow morning, or perhaps tomorrow noon. So please stay here for the time being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia put down the food, easily pried open Skye's hands, and maintained a polite, reserved smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skye was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dating? You said he's dating?!\" Skye's voice gradually rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Felicia ignored her, turning around and walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skye stared blankly at her retreating figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He locked her in a deserted small dark room, yet he went out on a date?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skye frantically grabbed her hair. What kind of situation was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Skye was contemplating while facing the wall, Aaron arrived at a café in the Manhattan district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the clearly designated couple's café sign outside, Aaron raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly walked in, and with a quick glance, he locked onto his target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a special location situated in the deepest part of the café, yet perfectly positioned to see the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron saw a girl who had tied up her hair, wore a black suit, and looked quite petite. Her outfit was eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the blue research uniform she wore in the file provided by Norman, this appearance was much more charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Helen Cho, who had been watching the entrance, spotted Aaron, immediately stood up, and waved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron walked straight over. \"Sorry to keep you waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen Cho glanced at the time, speaking rapidly with a hint of nervousness, \"I arrived too early. As the President of a major Corporation like Osborn Industries, your schedule must be packed. How could I let my matters delay something more important?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is only right to wait, no matter how long, to meet a great man like you who works tirelessly day and night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She's right. I work tirelessly day and night, and my schedule is indeed packed. But she got one thing wrong. I'm not the one doing the hard work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Images of Norman and Felicia flashed in Aaron's mind. He sat down, and gave Helen a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Helen nervously sit down, appearing very uncomfortable, constantly twisting her hands under the table and lightly pursing her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recalled Norman's previous hint to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen was conflicted. She glanced at Aaron again, then quickly lowered her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... wasn't it too fast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is my aura that strong? Am I scaring you?\" Aaron found Helen's uneasy demeanor amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Helen immediately straightened her chest, looking as serious as a primary school student called upon to answer a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the true boss of Osborn Industries. At its peak, it was worth hundreds of billions of US dollars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you are the most famous person globally, and everyone is discussing your legendary experiences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suppose... the news spread by the media surely wasn't good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron had seen the news yesterday. If not universally condemned, he was certainly notorious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen shook her head repeatedly. \"Of course not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing this up immediately piqued her interest. She pulled out her pink-cased phone and opened a webpage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look. This is a notice just released by the U.S. Air Force Commander: Mr. Aaron is the most graceful, most Genius, and best person I have ever met. His wisdom is admirable. I am very happy to know him and eagerly hope to start cooperation with him as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below were a series of red headlines and covers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Osborn Industries had become an important partner of the military, and Aaron was their most valued military consultant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this one, a notice released by a real estate tycoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No one understands Mr. Aaron better than me. Without a doubt, he is a Genius, a super Genius who surpasses Einstein, Newton, and Howard Stark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The U.S. President even issued a notice: I am very fortunate to simultaneously possess the two great jewels, Osborn Industries and Stark Industries, during my term, especially Osborn Industries. Perhaps I will have the opportunity during my tenure to witness the rise of the most dazzling star, one that might even rival the brilliant sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen's face was flushed red. As she spoke excitedly, her gaze toward Aaron was filled with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, Aaron's reputation had hit rock bottom, earning him titles like Son of the Devil and Satan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, right after Norman took the item to meet the Air Force Commander, in less than half an hour, the focus of the entire news media shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were praising him as wildly as they had previously insulted him severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"New York Daily: New York has become the center of the world because of two men: one is Tony Stark, and the other is Aaron!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Daily Bugle: ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning the exaggerated headlines one by one, Aaron's lips twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder everyone looked at him with expressions of admiration and excitement when he left the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my goodness, how exactly did you manage that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To gain control of such a massive Corporation in an instant, and then receive praise from everyone in another instant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen was very excited. She came from South Korea. In her eyes, the U.S. was a behemoth that could only be looked up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget her, even her country's President, or the largest financial group, was just a small insect here. These powerful figures wouldn't even look them in the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron had managed to become the most dazzling star of the U.S., the pride held in everyone's hands, in just a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this instant, Aaron was elevated in her heart to a position that she could only look up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down. This is nothing to be proud of.\" Aaron remained indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a few words of flattery, all those people wanted was newborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fears death. These people fear death even more than ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they might have doubted the future Norman described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just half an hour ago, when the Air Force Commander appeared before the media after many months, looking healthy, rosy-cheeked, and at least ten years younger, everyone went crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compliments poured in relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, who is Tony Stark? Oh, he's Iron Man, who fights criminals? So what? Can he let people have a new life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Tony was stepped on by Aaron to rise to power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, forget mere praise. Even if they were asked to call him \"Daddy,\" they would do it without hesitation. At worst, they could just claim it was a slip of the tongue. What's wrong with misspelling a few words?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron was unconcerned by all this. Yet, this indifference made him seem even more mysterious and powerful in Helen's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female instinct to admire strength, coupled with her inferiority complex, gradually solidified her resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron said at this moment, \"Actually, achieving what I have is very simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen's curiosity was piqued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One is brains, and the other is fists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brains represent wisdom, but what do fists represent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen didn't understand. Could it be... unity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow! Mr. Aaron is truly amazing!\u003C\u002Fp>",1247,"2026-06-05T16:52:18.861Z",1,"novelbin.me","f2b6e4e19a0d2c76b509135df2fbafb775392273a4969465d24e6ecf79995551","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-133","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-34",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
