The Witrum of the Marvel Universe

In short, humans cannot look directly at the sun; Tony's vision was a blinding red as if he had been hit by a flashbang.

Leon's breath lasted for a full five seconds before stopping.

He gazed at the crimson lotus breath that had pierced through the atmosphere and disappeared into space, wondering where it would drift to.

At this moment, Leon looked extremely strange.

He felt incredibly relieved to finally expel what was stuck in his throat, but the energy he had gathered in his body did not dissipate with the exhalation.

His body radiated terrifying heat; thankfully, he was wearing a special battle suit, otherwise Leon probably would have been running around naked.

The red energy no longer gathered all at once in his chest, but instead condensed like a tattoo, forming flame patterns resembling lava, distributed throughout Leon's entire body.

When he enters Crimson Lotus form, his strength will increase by 30%, his speed by 25%, and his magic resistance by 50%.

Until the stored energy is exhausted.

Furthermore, it is impossible to activate the Crimson Lotus state a second time within a short period of time.

The duration of the Crimson Lotus state was approximately three minutes.

Once the energy was depleted, the patterns on Leon's body disappeared, and he returned to normal.

"gentlemen!"

Happy, who was watching from a distance, was almost scared out of his wits.

I don't know if it was because he was wearing sunglasses, or because he was far enough away, but his eyes were fine.

In fact, as long as you don't get too close to look, there should be no problem. Tony was just too close; he didn't even have time to close his eyes.

Tony's Hulkbuster was destroyed, lying on the ground, and he was blind. He also had to endure the frustration of his machine losing to Leon.

It was a triple blow; it was utterly devastating.

"Sorry Tony, I didn't mean to. Consider this a win for you."

Leon awkwardly pulled Tony up, looking apologetic.

After all, we agreed not to fight back, but we almost blew someone away.

He just hoped the other party wouldn't ask him for compensation.

Tony was helped out of the armor by Happy. He blinked hard and regained some vision, but he still saw afterimages of everything and still needed Happy's help.

"Oh~ Did the Goddess of the Night turn off the lights?"

Tony staggered a couple of steps, looking like he'd been drinking too much, but upon hearing Leon's words, he immediately retorted, "No, I'm not shameless enough to renege on a bet with a kid. The tallest building on Third Avenue in Queens is yours."

To Leon's slight surprise, instead of being discouraged, Tony seemed to have been ignited with fighting spirit.

"One year! We'll fight again in a year, and I'll definitely beat you then!"

“Sir, Mr. Leon is here.”

Happy, looking embarrassed, slightly adjusted Tony's position as he pointed at the stone pillar and made his boastful statement.

Tony wasn't embarrassed at all, because he was completely fired up.

“I thought I would crush you,” Leon said.

"Hmph~" Tony once again donned that familiar arrogant and confident expression. "I am Tony Stark! Playboy, scientist, philanthropist, possessing technology a hundred years ahead of the military and the smartest brain on Earth..."

"Stop, that's enough bragging."

Seeing Tony start bragging again after only a couple of sentences, Leon was speechless.

Tony shrugged nonchalantly. "Just wait and see, I'll definitely create the most powerful armor."

"I want to prove that you're not the only one who can become stronger."

"Happy, take me to the hospital!"

"Yes, sir."

Tony's childlike nature made him unwilling to stay any longer after losing. Even though Leon didn't mean to mock him, just seeing his face made him angry. With Happy's help, he got into the Rolls-Royce.

"Goodbye, sir."

Happy nodded to Leon from the driver's seat.

The next day, after meeting with Stark's Pepper Potts, Leon officially completed the transfer procedures, and the luxury property located on Third Avenue, Queen Street, worth 600 million, became completely under Leon's name.

This is America in 08, and it's worth six hundred million US dollars!

In any country, this net worth alone would be enough to make someone incredibly wealthy.

At the average housing price back then, you could only buy a mere 12000 properties.

It made him even consider investing in real estate back there, but then he thought better of it.

Overnight, Leon went from a poor boy to a billionaire.

Well, how should I put it? Maybe he became rich too suddenly, and his aura of wealth hasn't caught up with him yet.

So he decided that from now on, he'd buy three hamburgers at a time! Eat one, throw one away, and donate one!

"Then, sir, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Chili closed the contract, gently shook hands with Leon, her eyes filled with barely suppressed curiosity.

She had been Tony's secretary for so many years, and this was the first time she had ever seen Tony suffer such a great loss under someone else's control.

And she's not even angry??

When she mentioned him, she saw for the first time a burning desire called "fighting spirit" ignite in Tony's eyes.

Pepper Potts had long admired him and wanted to see what kind of person Tony treated her this way.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, beautiful lady~" Leon shook hands with her gently.

After all, who wouldn't be in a good mood if they suddenly became a billionaire?

When Leon arrived at the 54-story building in Queens with Katie and Gwen, he was secretly amazed.

He clearly only asked for the 30th floor, but Tony gave him the 54th floor instead.

Is this the power of money?

That scoundrel!

"Wow! Leon, this is a building in a prime location in New York. It must cost a fortune a year. How did you manage to rent it?!"

Katie looked up at the seemingly endless skyscraper and exclaimed in amazement.

“Leon...there are only three of us now, so we probably don’t need that much space.”

Gwen clutched the hem of her clothes, feeling embarrassed and worried for Leon.

Her family is well-off middle class, so she knows even better how expensive these buildings are. Most large companies can't afford them, so several companies usually share a building.

Chapter 51 New Features of the System

Leon's face involuntarily turned up, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Don't worry, it's free. Someone lost a bet to me!"

Upon hearing this, the two women's eyes widened suddenly.

Such a large building, and it wasn't rented, but won in a bet?!

For a moment, they didn't know whether to be shocked that Leon had won such a valuable prize, or to sympathize with the unlucky guy on the other side who had lost a building.

"Haha~ Come on in, everyone, and see our new territory."

Leon was the first to push open the door and step into the luxurious building.

Hmm~ As expected of a building under the Stark Group, the grandeur of its decoration is comparable to that of Vought International's headquarters.

Aside from using it myself, I simply can't afford to rent it out.

Suddenly, Leon stopped in his tracks.

Wow! This place is huge!

"Leon, come quick! There's a huge money tree here. Could its leaves be real gold?"

The two women chattered excitedly around the place where they would be working in the future.

Turning around, she found Leon still standing in the same spot.

Katie rushed over and grabbed Leon's sleeve. "What are you standing there for? Come in quickly, let's go to your boardroom."

"Oh, okay," Leon replied absentmindedly, letting the other person pull his arm and walk away.

Just now, he received a notification sound in his mind.
