Chapter 69

"Liù, really, I suggest you wear a wig. It would make you look friendlier. Otherwise, every time I see you, I'll miss my Mark suit even more."

Dressed in a high-end black custom suit and sunglasses, Tony gave this suggestion to Liù, who was sitting at the secretary's desk outside the door. Then he turned and complained to Leo.

"The New York morning traffic is terrible. It took me an hour to drive from Stark Industries to your company. If I were in my Mark suit, it would have taken less than five minutes."

"That would be great. It would allow more people to see the ad on the back of your suit, boosting our product sales."

Leo raised a thumbs-up to Tony.

Tony's mood immediately soured upon hearing this.

"When you put it that way, I don't even want to wear the suit anymore!"

He loved wearing the Mark suit because it was convenient and, more importantly, stylish and attention-grabbing. But the ad on the back would ruin that cool factor.

"Don't be so pessimistic. You're just not used to it yet. It's a kind of uniqueness, like how many young people today like to print random phrases on their clothes. Plus, you're doing it for human health. The people whose lives are improved by your endorsement will be grateful.

You don't have to worry about the poison spreading. Just use the Mark suit as much as you want and come to me for detox."

Leo patted Tony's shoulder, sincerely encouraging him.

Tony sighed helplessly, then took out his detector and placed it on the table:

"My toxicity level is at five percent. How do you plan to detox me?"

"Like this."

Leo placed his hand on Tony's chest and immediately activated the A-rank medical ninjutsu, Palm Healing.

In the world of Naruto, whether one could be considered a qualified medical ninja was primarily judged by whether they had mastered Palm Healing.

Mastering this jutsu meant you had the basic abilities to treat diseases, suture wounds, and detoxify—essential skills for a medical ninja.

Of course, it wasn't the most advanced medical ninjutsu, but it was very comprehensive.

There were also more effective techniques, such as the Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique, which could heal wounds. As long as the patient wasn't dead, they could be revived.

However, it required either a high-level medical ninja like Tsunade or an entire team of medical ninjas working in shifts for several days.

Another technique, the Delicate Illness Extraction, was specialized for detoxification and organ transplants, offering several times the detoxifying power of Palm Healing.

Leo wasn't entirely sure if Palm Healing could detoxify palladium poisoning, but he wasn't worried. If it failed, Tony could still research a new element for a permanent solution.

He had some confidence because Palm Healing worked differently from modern detox methods. It controlled chakra energy finely, driving toxins out of the body by guiding them with energy. Most conventional poisons could be neutralized this way.

The technique struggled only with toxins infused with special chakra, which caused normal toxins to mutate. Such cases required the more advanced Delicate Illness Extraction technique.

Palladium poisoning was elemental, akin to poisoning by lead, thallium, antimony, tellurium, cadmium, or mercury—common toxins that normal people rarely encounter. That's why Earth had no specific solutions for palladium poisoning.

Palladium, the element powering the Arc Reactor, was an advanced technology developed by Howard Stark before Tony miniaturized it for his suit.

As Leo precisely controlled his chakra, he easily gathered the palladium dispersed in Tony's chest and expelled it from his body.

"All done!"

In about five seconds, Leo finished the treatment.

"That's it?"

Tony looked incredulous. He had felt a warm sensation in his chest, and then Leo said it was done. It seemed too simple.

"What did you expect? You're not my wife. I don't enjoy keeping my hand on a man's chest for too long."

Leo sat back at his desk with a look of disdain.

Tony skeptically picked up his palladium detector and pricked his thumb.

"No more palladium. Still, it feels weird that you could detox me so easily."

Seeing the detector read zero, Tony was happy but also apprehensive about endorsing the tri-color pills and advertising them on his suit.

If Leo hadn't detoxified him, he wouldn't have to follow through with the deal.

Still, staying alive was more important, so he was grateful to Leo for saving his life again.

"Liù, take Mr. Stark to the temporary photo studio downstairs to shoot the ad."

Leo buzzed Liù on the intercom and then addressed Tony:

"To save your time, I've had Jack call in a professional ad team. They've set up a temporary studio downstairs. You just need to shoot the ad."

"Should I be thanking you?"

Tony glanced at Liù, who entered the room looking like he was about to escort a prisoner, knowing he was committed to being the spokesperson.

"Tony, you can do it."

Leo smiled and waved as Tony was led away by Liù.

Once Tony's endorsement ad aired on TV, media worldwide would cover it, and the tri-color pills would gain instant global recognition.

Sales would skyrocket, and within days, the Li Group could achieve the status of a top-tier New York enterprise.

With Iron Man endorsing the pills on his suit, the public would see how effective and beloved they were.

Unlike Stark Industries' high-tech products, which the average person couldn't afford, the tri-color pills, especially the affordable green ones, were accessible to everyone, even beggars.

In the future, the Li Group's tri-color pills would become essential health products for people worldwide.
