Chapter 17: Skincare Products or...

Although the restorative potion formulated by Oaks indeed had the effect of beautifying the skin and removing scars, it was a life-saving substance when used appropriately.

Now Tony said he wanted to use it as a skincare product?

Well, it wasn't that big of a deal, after all, it hadn't demonstrated its incredible restorative effects yet.

Speaking of which, the first person to buy this thing seemed to be a beautiful woman who wanted to use it for scar removal?

Could it be that Tony found trial reports somewhere?

Oaks shook his head. Even if there were reports, they hadn't been posted on the small forum where he originally released the information. Or perhaps they hadn't had the opportunity to use it yet?

"No problem. The restorative potion is priced at $5,000 per bottle, clearly marked, and its effects... surpass existing skincare products on the market."

"You're so confident?"

Tony had a look of "go ahead and boast all you want":

"You know, I generally like to see things with my own eyes. Many of the beautiful women on magazine covers don't live up to expectations, so I always prefer to have them come to my home for closer observation."

"Okay, it can be arranged."

Oaks stood up and brought a bottle of the restorative potion. He nodded towards Tony.

"Can I borrow your driver for a moment?"

"Happy, go along with it."

"Yes, sir."

Happy took a step forward but then hesitated.

"Um, sir, I do have scars on me, but they're in a rather awkward place."

"... "

Tony subtly glanced at Happy's buttocks, and the latter felt a tightening sensation. He quickly waved his hand, shaking his head.

"No, no, it's not..."

"It's alright, just extend your hand."

Oaks extended a finger and made a small cut on the back of Happy's outstretched right hand.

"My apologies."

"Ouch!"

Happy felt a sting as he saw a neatly trimmed fingernail cut a small wound on the back of his hand, and blood started to flow.

"Did you hide a surgical blade in your finger joint?"

This kind of commercial spirit that required creating a wound even when there wasn't one was truly admirable.

It would be even more worthy of admiration if it hadn't been demonstrated with his own hand.

"Tony, a wound of this size will take several days to completely heal without a trace. So now..."

Oaks dropped a drop of the restorative potion onto Happy's wound.

"Wow..."

Tony couldn't help but open his mouth in astonishment.

In front of him, Happy's wound began to visibly heal from the moment it came into contact with the drop of restorative potion. And within a few dozen seconds, when Happy rubbed his finger, the wound appeared completely uncut, as if it had never been opened!

"It's amazing, sir!"

Happy rubbed his eyes and rubbed his right hand repeatedly.

"I felt a very cool sensation on the wound... It healed before I even had a chance to itch!"

"Oaks, are you really not considering taking on the role of environmental consultant at Stark Industries?"

Tony had already stood up.

"How about becoming my personal health consultant? $5 million annual salary, with no need to consider other shareholders!"

"Let's discuss that later. So now, do you understand the effectiveness of the potion?"

Oaks had to admit that he was a bit tempted, but he couldn't have this kind of arrangement with Stark Industries or, more specifically, with Tony Stark. They could have a collaboration, but not in this manner.

"If you can invest in environmental protection in New York, maybe I will accept your health consultation."

Oaks closed the bottle and tossed it to Happy, who hurriedly caught it.

"Hey! This is worth several thousand dollars!"

"Environmental protection in New York? Charity work?"

Seeing that Oaks didn't throw the potion directly to him, Tony's mouth curled up. Although he was still trying to maintain his cool, it was evident that his gaze towards Oaks had changed slightly.

"Did you know what I would do if this potion ended up in my hands?"

"You would completely forget about skincare for your beautiful assistant and then analyze it to see if you can replicate it."

Oaks sat back on the couch, hugged Goose, and scratched its ears, completely ignoring Tony's slightly competitive gaze.

"Or maybe you want to buy two bottles? That means your assistant has caught your attention."

"Oaks, you're an annoying bastard."

Tony pinched his little beard and smirked.

"If I can't analyze your restorative potion within a week, I'll consider investing in New York's environmental protection. Although I'm not a biochemist, I'm at the top of the line when it comes to analyzing instruments."

"Wait for good news."

"Also, give me another bottle."

Oaks raised an eyebrow and took out two bottles, placing them on the table.

"The previous one was a test, so I'm giving it to you. And for these two bottles, for a fair price of $10,000."

He gestured for Happy to pay, and Tony picked up one bottle of the restorative potion, examining the beautiful emerald liquid inside with curiosity. Suddenly, he asked, "What would happen if someone drinks this?"

"... "

Oaks swiped Happy's credit card through the POS machine, glanced at Tony, and revealed a sly smile.

"You can try it, but it's best to make a reservation with some beautiful women in advance. One might not be enough."

The reason the restorative potion had such strong healing effects was because Oaks had infused it with pure life force.

And what does life force nourish the most?

Of course, everything related to life...

Various things!

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Tony dropped the sunglasses he had just taken out, his eyes shining. Now, his gaze towards Oaks was completely different.

"Perfect!"

Tony picked up the other bottle, carefully placing both bottles in the pocket of his suit jacket, and walked lightly to Oaks' side. He stared at him seriously, lowering his voice.

"From today on, we're friends."

"... "

"Since you don't want to be my personal health consultant, then as friends, you should at least be reliable, right?"

He had a serious expression.

"It's about the health of a friend and... their reputation."

"Feel free to use it, no problem."

Oaks looked at Happy with a strange expression, and the latter pursed his lips, shrugged, and suddenly thought of something. He looked terrified, shaking his head vigorously.

"... "

Oaks cleared his throat, giving up on suggesting that Tony find someone to test it.

"Alright, Tony, don't drink it all at once. Just a drop can sustain you for a half marathon."

"Snap!"

Tony snapped his fingers, his lips curling up.

"Happy, pack up all the green plants in the store and have the airline deliver them to the mansion in Malibu! Also, invite all the cover models from last week's top ten

entertainment magazines in America. We're having a grand party tonight!"

Watching Tony, who was already eager to leave, Oaks silently swiped Happy's credit card once again and took out a jar from under the counter.

"Coffee beans as a gift with the purchase of the restorative potion."

As he watched Tony eagerly walk out the door, Oaks looked at Happy, who had a face full of bitterness.

"Take care of that bottle. If Tony can't get up tomorrow, it could save his life."

"I'm wondering how to explain it to Miss Potts."

"I'll leave you the best flower. You can send it to her on behalf of Tony."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Oaks!"

"No need to thank me. Enter your PIN."
