In Obaday's view, Tony Stark's existence is so redundant.
As for Tony Stark's intelligence, what does that count for?
Even if you have money, are you worried about not being able to hire scientists? If one isn't enough, then two. If two aren't enough, then twenty. If twenty aren't enough, then two hundred.
The capitalists' thinking is so simple and crude!
The most important thing is that this company will be under his control, and he will no longer have to assist the arrogant Stark father and son.
Suddenly, at this moment, the office door was pushed open and a group of men in black wearing sunglasses walked in.
Suddenly, the senior executives of Stark Industries at the meeting were a little flustered and at a loss.
"Who are you?"
Obadi stood up first. He was tall and strong and looked quite intimidating.
"You must be Obaday, right? Please come with us. We are the FBI. You are suspected of colluding with Afghan warlords and selling out American interests and secrets. Come back with us and stand trial!"
The leading man in black said bluntly.
"What?" Obaday was stunned. He didn't expect that the matter would be leaked.
In fact, this is not a secret at all in the American arms dealer circle. After all, the Afghan war cost 2 trillion US dollars, which is undoubtedly a grand event for arms dealers.
Moreover, arms are consumables. The more they are consumed, the more they will be purchased. Therefore, colluding with local warlords in Afghanistan to increase consumption is not a strange thing in the circle.
Even the local garrison is helping to consume the resources.
Otherwise, how could the local theologians become stronger and stronger and could not be eliminated no matter what?
But what Obaday never expected was that this was obviously something that happened under the table, so how did it get to know about it?
"What do you want to do? I know your director. Let your director talk to me. You are not qualified!" Obaday said angrily.
Then he looked at Tony Stark again, hoping that he would stand up and speak for him, but Tony Stark just looked calm and did not express any opinion.
"You are no longer qualified. You are now collaborating with the enemy and betraying your country. Do you understand?" the leading FBI officer shouted.
Seeing this scene, just as he was about to be dragged away, Obaday suddenly reacted, looked at Tony Stark, and roared, "Tony, is that you? How could you do this to me!"
At this time, Tony Stark's expression finally changed. He said, "Uncle Obadiah, why not? At least I'm not planning on having you die in a terrorist attack, am I?"
After hearing this, Obaday completely understood that Tony Stark really knew all about his conspiracy during this period of time.
No wonder Tony Stark has no intention of going to Afghanistan for a while now. It is obvious that he knew something through some channels.
He didn't know how Tony Stark knew it, but at this point, it was meaningless because he was about to become a prisoner.
"Tony, Tony, you can't do this to me. I assisted your father and I assisted you. Without me, you can't even take over safely!" Obadiah was caught by FBI agents. He tried to struggle and played the emotional card.
"Yes, my dear uncle, if it weren't for you, I certainly wouldn't be able to do it so smoothly, but I also don't understand why you want to kill me?" Tony Stark's eyes were filled with uncontrollable discomfort and disappointment.
He once really regarded the other person as a father-like figure, who filled the regret of losing his father in his youth.
But what the other party did now really disappointed him.
During these two months, what he secretly investigated was shocking. Obadiah not only embezzled the company's money without his knowledge, but if it was just embezzlement, to be honest, Tony Stark would not care much and would at most give him a warning.
However, he also secretly opened up a route to sell Stark Industries' arms to those warlords in the Middle East, which Tony Stark absolutely could not tolerate.
In his opinion, the weapons he manufactured were to protect the people of this country, not to sell to his enemies. Although they were all merchants of death, Tony Stark believed that he still had a little conscience, and with his intelligence, he could make money without doing anything.
It's still clean money, no need to dirty your hands.
But Obaday's actions made Tony Stark's pride and persistence over the years look like a fool's.
Of course, what worried Tony Stark the most was the huge iron armor he had seen in the video before. He was worried that Obaday had already started developing it, but after checking, he found that it had not.
This means that the armor of Obadiah may have obtained some of his technology. Considering the original relationship between Obadiah and me, he might really have a way to get it, or I might give him some permissions.
But whatever he had gotten it in the original timeline, there was no chance now.
Tony Stark was in no mood to listen to Obadiah's excuses, so he had FBI agents arrest him, along with several shareholders who were close to Obadiah. In the end, the charges they faced were not just this, but also tax issues, smuggling issues, and a series of other problems, which were enough to put them in jail for the rest of their lives.
Of course, the premise is that you don't die in there.
"Tony, you will regret this. Stark Industries will be ruined sooner or later by your dictatorial and unruly behavior. You will regret this!" Obaday's roar echoed throughout the conference room, but he had already been dragged away.
After doing all this, Tony Stark completely relaxed. He then said, "I appoint Pepper as the new group's executive CEO. You can contact her for anything else. I have something else to do today, so I have to leave first. Please send me a briefing on the results of the meeting!"
After saying that, Tony Stark left without looking back.
Pepper was still in shock. She had not received any news about the intense turmoil. Obviously, without her knowing, Tony Stark and Obadiah had already fought each other, and the ending was that Tony Stark dealt a fatal blow and completely eliminated Obadiah.
This outcome was naturally the best for her. If Obaday had won, she, as Tony Stark's confidant, would have been liquidated. However, this boss was really unreliable. Now that so many shareholders had been taken away, it was hard to say whether they would come back in the future. The company was about to become a mess, but Tony Stark had simply run away, leaving her to clean up the mess.
Damn capitalists!
