15: Oasis, World Chief Experience Officer

Upon hearing this, Lynn first nodded and then shook his head.

"I did come to discuss business with you, but I didn't threaten your life."

Taking a sip of his wine, Lynn looked very serious and said, "Business is all about win-win cooperation. It's meaningless to use coercion and deception."

Tony was slightly taken aback. He had been in charge of Stark Industries Group for many years and had seen too many intrigues in the business world. How could someone like Lynn hold the cards but not use them?

"Are you serious?" He couldn't help but confirm.

"Certainly," Lynn put down his wine glass and smiled faintly. "To show my sincerity, I can now extract the palladium element from your body..."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and placed it against Tony.

[Three-Ring Magic - Element Extraction]

Everyone saw silver-white light spots emerge from all over Tony's body, gradually converging into lines, and then leaving his body like drawn silk...

During this process, Tony first felt a sharp pain in his body, followed by an indescribable exhilaration!

"What-" He couldn't help but moan, his expression more ecstatic than that of someone drugged. Oh my, he had been suffering like this for too long.

After a few minutes, Lynn put away his magic.

When Tony came back to his senses, he felt more comfortable than ever before, and his face was full of joy and excitement.

But then, a gloomy look crossed his face. "Just extracting the palladium element isn't enough..."

"Yes, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause," Lynn nodded. "The palladium element in your body comes from the Arc reactor in your chest. Unless it is completely dismantled, it will continue to be produced even if it is emptied."

Tony obviously thought of that too.

He smiled wryly. "Even so, I'm already content. At least I won't die, right?"

Lynn's words weren't finished yet. "So, you now have two options: find a new element to replace it and create a brand new Arc reactor, or undergo surgery to remove the shrapnel fragments from your body, so you'll never have to rely on it for life support again."

"You seem to know me very well..." Tony frowned and asked, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze.

"You... you..."

He looked at Lynn's calm expression and an incredible guess popped up in his mind. He couldn't help but tremble and stammer, "Can you tell me, can you..."

"I can," Lynn said emphatically, each word like thunder. "I can do both! This is my sincerity."

No one knew that Lynn chose to leave the X Academy at this specific time to start his own plan, after careful consideration.

First of all, it was natural to obtain a state of spiritual immunity, which greatly increased the sense of security.

Secondly, Justin Hammer's Iron Soldier expo was doomed to fail. At that time, Hammer Industries' stock would plummet wildly, providing a perfect opportunity to make lots of money.

Third, and most importantly...

It was Tony Stark who was poisoned with palladium and was at the lowest point in his life.

At this moment, even though S.H.I.E.L.D. had been in contact with him and had sent Black Widow to infiltrate Stark Group, they hadn't informed him... Howard Stark, his father had already discovered the news of the new element.

This was undoubtedly the best time to intervene. The icing on the cake was never as good as giving charcoal in the snow. What else could show sincerity more than the grace of saving one's life?

Tony was completely dumbfounded.

"Have you found a new element to replace palladium?!" He looked at Lynn in disbelief, his expression a mix of excitement, puzzlement, suspicion, and guardedness... It was extremely complicated.

"That's right, it's in..." Lynn nodded slightly.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Tony suddenly yelled, "Wait!"

"Yep?" Lynn was taken aback, wearing a puzzled look.

"Let's talk about your business first!"

Tony took a deep breath. Although his heart was beating extremely fast, he held back and said, "You've saved my life by helping me get rid of the palladium element in my body. I can't push further, so... let's talk about cooperation first!"

"As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse!" He seemed to have exhausted all his strength to say these words.

Kitty and Jubilee blinked in surprise. On the rooftop just now, this person looked like a drunkard who had given up on himself. They never thought that now, he could resist the temptation of a life-saving message.

Could it be that this was the real Iron Man? Thinking this, they both couldn't help but look at Tony with newfound respect.

Lynn was also a little surprised. "It's not about making progress. What I need is a lively partner. If you die, it won't do me any good."

As he said that, he didn't wait for Tony to refuse and quickly said, "Just go and see what your father left behind—the three-dimensional model of Stark Expo."

Before Tony could interrupt, he was startled by this revelation.

"You mean, my dad... discovered the new element long ago?"

This news obviously had a big impact on him.

Lynn nodded. "It's just that the technology level at the time couldn't synthesize it."

Tony fell silent. After a few minutes, he sighed deeply.

"No wonder he let me keep that model..." He didn't know what he thought of, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of the news.

But at the same time, instead of immediately looking for the model, he looked at Lynn. "So, after I synthesize the new element, my body won't have any more problems?"

Lynn smiled and said, "You're the professional in this regard."

Tony asked again, "And at that time, if I want to completely remove the shrapnel debris from my body, are you willing to help me? With your... magic?"

Lynn nodded.

"No other conditions?"

Tony's eyes gradually became sharper.

"No," Lynn said impatiently. "I already said it. This is my sincerity."

Tony suddenly laughed.

"If that's the case, I'm starting to be interested in the business you're talking about..."

He poured himself a glass of red wine, drank it in one gulp, and then leaned back comfortably on the sofa. "I'm curious, what kind of business does a mage do?"

Lynn smiled too. He snapped his fingers, and a black gaming bracelet appeared out of thin air, slowly flying towards Tony.

Now that he got to the point, he didn't mean to talk nonsense.

"There are three terms of cooperation."

"First, Artificial Intelligence Technology!"

"Second, A Brand New ARK reactor!"

"Third, as a partner, our company wants to invite the famous Iron Man to be the chief experience officer of the second world of 'Oasis'."
