Chapter 1041: Astonishing the World (18)_1

When Shiller arrived at Stark's lab, there was nothing left but ruins. Looking at the scene that resembled a post-apocalyptic jungle, Shiller was completely stunned.

He stood at the entrance for a full thirty seconds, not understanding what had happened. Who among the villains now had the audacity to directly attack Stark's most important lab in the Stark Building???

This wasn't just a lab. Stark's data library stored the most cutting-edge scientific results of human civilization, and all forces were doing their utmost to protect it. Its defense level was only a hundred Green Lantern Headquarters less than the Eternal Temple.

Shiller shook his head hard, then asked Jarvis, "Jarvis, can you do an alcohol level test? You know, the one for drink driving…"

"Sir, according to my judgment, the alcohol level in your body is not enough to cause you to hallucinate. The damaged lab you see is not an illusion, this is the reason why I called you here now."

Shiller furrowed his brows and walked into the lab, blurting out, "What happened? It was fine yesterday, start from the beginning..."

What shocked Shiller was hearing Jarvis sigh deeply, then said in an extremely complex tone that should not appear from a robot's mouth...

"This all began last night, when Mr. Strange suddenly stormed into the lab at the Stark Building."

"Doctor Connors was doing an experiment when Mr. Strange rushed into his lab. Doctor Connors..."

Just as Jarvis started speaking, Shiller yelled, "Stop! Just stick to the facts, you don't need to be so formal."

Jarvis issued two 'beep' sounds to indicate his understanding, then continued, "Strange burst into the lab where Connors was and hoped Connors could give him a Lizard Serum Healing Drug."

"According to their conversation, Mr. Strange's father's condition had suddenly deteriorated last night, not even the expensive artificial lung machine could help. This disrupted Strange's gradual treatment plan and he had no choice but to seek Connors and hoped the healing potion would work."

"However, Connors is a very rigorous scientist. He told Strange that the Lizard Serum Healing Drug is not a panacea, and only targets wound healing and limb regeneration. It has no special effect on treating organ failure and restoring heart and lung function."

"Connors emphasized that pharmacy is a very rigorous discipline. Without conducting experiments, he absolutely could not give an unproven experimental drug to a critically ill patient, as this could not only fail to work but could also kill the patient. As a doctor, he absolutely refused to do so."

"However, Strange had already reached the brink of collapse. He even repeatedly pleaded with Connors, hoping to get the potion. He said he had a Time Gem and could reset time if it didn't work..."

Shiller furrowed his brows and asked, "Why didn't he directly reset time back to when his father was still okay?"

"Strange had already tried," Jarvis answered. "But his father's condition worsening was inevitable, lung function damage had accumulated over many years. He was unable to reset his father back to his youth. If he only reset a short period of time, it would only deteriorate again, forcing him to rely on the Cure potion."

Shiller nodded to show he understood. Then Jarvis continued, "Connors softened a bit, but told Strange that the finished products that could be used were all stored in the potion storage room in the Stark Building. They must be personally authorized by Mr. Stark to be taken out."

"Ever since Lizard Serum Healing Drug was proven to be incredibly effective, the project team increased its staff. Because the lizard gene has a certain level of danger, Connors was concerned that someone would repeat his mistakes. Thus, strictly controlling the access of potions and potion materials was necessary."

"Why didn't Connors just call Tony or ask you to submit an application? True, Tony and Steven often quarrel, but he wouldn't be stingy about this kind of thing, right?"

Jarvis sighed helplessly again, then said, "This leads us to another story…"

"Before Strange came to the Stark Building, Mr. Stark was planning to give Peter a new battlesuit. He ended up witnessing Peter fighting a criminal in green clothes."

"Because he didn't want to disturb Peter, Mr. Stark always kept a certain distance from him. But in the end, he heard that the Osborn Group actually wanted to target Spider-Man to get his spider genes."

"Mr. Stark said, he had seen this scene in the infinite cosmic timeline, but he was still extremely furious. As a result, he led a batch of newly made Mecha Armor Troops into the Osborn Tower that night where Osborn was in a negotiation with Obadiah."

"Osborn thought that Mr. Stark was acting recklessly, trying to threaten him to back down with the Mech Armor Troops and left in an outrage. Obadiah, who had the upper hand and was in the midst of closing a deal, was also badly upset on his way back, so much so that he passed out."
