Prime was absolutely certain that Emma Frost was a mutant. Not that it made Prime think anything specific about her; in fact, he really didn't care. After all, their relationship was merely that of investor and investee, nothing more.
Prime leaned back in his chair as various thoughts crossed his mind. Although he didn't care about Emma Frost's presence, he couldn't help but be intrigued by the possible reasons she might have for attending the event. This interest only grew when he remembered she was a mutant.
Prime pondered for a few seconds. Although it was unlikely he would interact much with Emma Frost, he concluded it would be useful to know a bit more about someone so important, especially considering she was a mutant. He already knew her name and face from prior research, but beyond that, his knowledge of her was limited.
"Tony, have you known Emma for a long time? What kind of relationship do you have with her?"
Prime asked Tony, who seemed to have some kind of past with Emma. While Prime found it odd that Emma hadn't even glanced at Tony, he didn't have many options for who to ask. After all, Emma seemed as reserved as Prime himself.
"Why? Are you interested in her? Here's some advice: she might be pretty on the outside, but she has a bit of a sinister aura. My recommendation? Look for another girl. If you want, I can introduce you to a few I know"
Prime raised an eyebrow at Tony's words. In his mind, he couldn't help but wonder why Tony thought that was what he was talking about. Moreover, who in their right mind would discuss such things with someone sitting just four chairs away? Prime couldn't understand Tony's logic—either he was incredibly brave or simply indifferent.
"Thanks for the advice, Tony, but unfortunately, we'll have to leave that topic for another time. Actually, that's not why I'm asking. Honestly, I know practically nothing about her. Don't you think it's strange that I know so little about one of the people investing so much money in my project?"
Upon hearing Prime's words, Tony raised an eyebrow, acknowledging that they made sense. With a discreet sidelong glance at Emma Frost, Tony then shared his thoughts.
"I wouldn't say I really know her. Most of what I know is what anyone can find with a quick search. She inherited her family's fortune and has managed to multiply it with skill. She's a business genius... Oh, and I once tried to get close to her, but honestly, I don't remember what happened. When I woke up, I was back home"
Tony said this with a smile on his face, making Prime find the scene somewhat amusing, as if Tony were recalling a pleasant memory. Of course, Prime ignored Tony's brief yelp when Pepper elbowed him.
Prime had a lot to reflect on regarding Tony's words, but he decided to leave that for later. It was better to focus on the present, as the presentation was about to begin, and Prime didn't want to miss anything. It's worth noting that Prime had only given a superficial explanation of the medication to the scientist and doctor in charge. Based on the tests conducted, she would be the one delivering the speech. Prime was curious to see how she would handle the presentation.
As if reading Prime's thoughts, the room suddenly plunged into darkness as the lights went out, signaling the start of the event. Of course, Prime, Sara, Ema, and Annie could see perfectly, as if it were broad daylight.
Seconds later, the lights came back on, illuminating the stage. In the center, a woman with a confident smile wore a white lab coat emblazoned with Prime's company logo. Beside her was a young woman with blonde hair and a confident smile—Gwen.
If Prime remembered correctly, Ned was in charge of security and the event's computer systems, while Peter and Gwen were assisting the woman on stage. This woman, an extremely renowned figure in the medical world, had accumulated numerous achievements throughout her career.
She was currently considered the most competent doctor, researcher, and physician of her generation. Prime had managed to persuade her to work for him after presenting his revolutionary invention. Of course, it was also necessary to show the key ingredient, which Prime, surprisingly, had managed to reproduce in the lab.
"With great enthusiasm, I come to talk to you today about an innovation that, without exaggeration, could redefine the future of medicine. For years, medical science has strived to find solutions for countless conditions and diseases, some of which still have no definitive cure"
The woman on the podium began her speech, and it was evident that everyone was listening intently. Even for Prime, there was something about her presence that made each word she spoke seem unique and special.
"Mr. Ryan Carter has revealed an impressive talent in this field. I must admit that even I was surprised by his perspectives. He has developed a medication that represents a significant breakthrough. We are talking about a solution capable of curing almost any disease, as long as it's not in an advanced stage or a condition still considered incurable by traditional medicine"
After the speech, murmurs arose among the attendees. Even for others, the woman's words seemed too impressive to be true. However, there was a certain doubt in the air, questioning whether the field of medicine truly had limitations only in the mind. Curious glances turned toward Prime, the person who had managed to create something so innovative.
"This new medication was developed with a technology based on the modulation of the immune system and the use of bioactive agents that can identify and repair sick cells, restoring their proper functioning. Unlike conventional treatments that, in many cases, only treat symptoms or slow the progression of diseases, the medication acts directly on the root of the problem"
Gasps of surprise and excitement echoed through the venue. No matter how Prime looked at it, everyone was visibly intrigued by what the woman on the podium was saying. In other words, the presentation of the new medication was a complete success up to that moment.
