The next day, evening.
The Stark Industries Expo.
This was located in New York's Stark Industrial Park, within the New York City limits. In this incredibly valuable real estate, it spanned a vast area of over 5,000 acres, equivalent to tens of thousands of square meters.
This was a testament to Stark Industries' immense wealth.
Even though Stark Industries, under Tony Stark's leadership, had announced its withdrawal from the arms industry, the company's stock, which had initially fallen, gradually recovered after Tony became Iron Man.
Everyone knew that although Stark Industries had profited handsomely from the arms industry, it remained a behemoth even after abandoning it.
With Tony Stark, the universally recognized genius inventor, Stark Industries would never decline; instead, it had the potential to reach new heights of glory.
Anton entered the Stark Industries park and saw the sea of people at the exhibition. He realized he seemed to have underestimated the impact of this exhibition.
"So many people?"
He looked around, showing a surprised expression.
"It is said that tens of thousands of people may gather here tonight... The flow of people may reach a terrifying four hundred thousand."
Eddie, who was standing beside Anton, replied: "They are all here for Tony Stark."
"What's so interesting about Tony Stark? He's not as handsome as I am."
Anton was puzzled.
"These people are here for Tony Stark's R8."
Following behind Anton and Eddie, Phil, who hadn't spoken in a while, chimed in, "Eighty percent of the people here are men."
"What's so interesting about an R8 worth 540,000..."
Anton pursed his lips and glanced around. Seeing the expectant expressions on the faces of those around him, he thought to himself, They're all a bunch of unworldly guys.
"What?"
Eddie didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing."
Anton said casually, leading Eddie and the others through the VIP entrance into the exhibition.
Technology companies from all over the world gathered here.
The expo hosted by Tony Stark encompassed multiple industries, showcasing the world's most advanced technology across various sectors.
One exhibit after another was a feast for the eyes.
However, the central stage was temporarily vacant, reserved for the few companies qualified to be there.
For example, the host, Stark Industries, the Osborn Corporation, and Hammer Industries.
Even though Hammer Industries and Stark Industries were at odds, Tony Stark didn't exclude Hammer Industries.
Tony never considered Hammer Industries a competitor.
In Tony's view, Hammer Industries was just a tailgater, following behind Stark Industries.
Giving the tailgater some room to maneuver wouldn't hurt Stark Industries.
Just like an elephant wouldn't go out of its way to step on an ant.
Tony didn't know that the "ant" in his eyes was ready to devour the elephant.
Soon.
The stage in the center lit up with dazzling lights.
Someone Anton didn't expect appeared on stage.
Harry Osborn.
"Harry actually went on stage himself. It seems they attach great importance to this expo."
Anton was somewhat surprised.
"The Osborn Corporation's recent situation isn't optimistic."
Eddie said, "Since Norman Osborn disappeared, the Osborn Corporation has been plagued by infighting. Although Justin Hammer's attempt to seize power failed, it revealed the internal decline of the Osborn Corporation. Coupled with the recent emergence of Iron Man, leading to the Armor Craze, the Osborn Corporation, which isn't good at manufacturing armor, has seen its share in the arms industry constantly squeezed. Even the long-prepared Limb Regeneration Technology was snatched up by Wayne Enterprises… They desperately need to gain external attention and boost their stock price."
Armor Craze! Limb Regeneration Technology failure! These two factors have made the already declining Osborn Corporation's situation even worse!
It does sound a bit bleak.
Anton remained expressionless.
He wouldn't feel sorry for the Osborn Corporation in a normal business competition.
Even though Harry was on good terms with him, even if the Osborn Corporation's operating condition wasn't optimistic, Harry was still one of the world's top billionaires.
Even if he couldn't make money, lying on top of countless banknotes, Harry would still have enough to live for several lifetimes.
Besides, the Osborn Corporation was merely shifting from rapid development to a state of contraction. It might seem pathetic, but they still earned money just by lying down every year, so Anton didn't need to sympathize.
"It seems they plan to showcase the Osborn Corporation's latest weapons at the expo."
Eddie looked at the Osborn Corporation's setup and saw something unusual.
Phil's eyes widened, and he looked extremely shocked.
"Isn't that the Flying Skateboard?"
He stammered, "How dare the Osborn Corporation display this thing? Aren't they afraid of having the Green Goblin's true identity found out?"
"It's just a Flying Skateboard; it's not some kind of unreproducible technology."
Anton saw something was amiss and said lightly, "This shouldn't be the main thing the Osborn Corporation is releasing; it's probably just a side dish."
"Huh?"
Phil was startled and continued to watch Harry giving a speech on stage.
At this moment, Harry demonstrated the Flying Skateboard. He then stepped onto it, soared into the air, and did a loop in mid-air. After causing a wave of gasps from the audience, he returned to the stage, satisfied.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Harry did not leave the Flying Skateboard. Maintaining a hovering posture, he continued his introduction.
"Osborn Corporation has a plan."
He spoke slowly: "If Tony Stark can turn over a new leaf and become Iron Man, becoming a spokesperson for justice, then Osborn Corporation can also take on the responsibility of upholding justice."
As Harry spoke, he raised his hand and pressed a black watch on his wrist.
Swish! His entire body was quickly covered in black metal.
"This is... Nanotechnology?"
Anton narrowed his eyes.
Others who were also watching this scene, including Tony Stark, in a hidden corner of the audience, and Justin Hammer, who was impatiently waiting to go on stage, all turned their gazes towards Harry, their faces filled with astonishment.
They compared the technology Harry was displaying at this moment with existing technology and came to an unbelievable answer.
Nanotechnology armor?
Osborn Corporation, while not good at making armor, had taken a different approach, going down this path, which couldn't help but be admired!
"An interesting idea."
Tony stroked his chin.
He suddenly felt that the Mark 5 suitcase he carried with him was quite outdated, and it was necessary to improve it when he got back.
"Wait a minute..."
Tony pondered for a moment, staring at Harry on the stage, his eyes narrowing again.
"It's not Nanotechnology!"
At the same time.
"That's not right, it's not Nanotechnology!"
Anton also saw something was off.
The armor covering Harry made him feel inexplicably familiar.
At this moment.
Eddie, standing beside him, felt a chill, as Venom sensed a threat and issued a warning in his mind.
So, Eddie's expression turned serious, and he spoke slowly.
"It's not Nanotechnology, it's a Symbiote!"
