Chapter 14: Tony's Discontent! Design Blueprint!
Although Tony has a ton of flaws, he is extremely reliable when it comes to friends he truly recognizes. Not to mention Ethan is his savior, and he knows that the Government and Military have many cases of coerced confessions, so how could he let these people get close to Ethan?
Although Ethan has several Dr. degrees, strictly speaking, he is no different from an ordinary person. If he were to be caught by the Government and Military, he would probably suffer. After hearing Tony's words, Pepper was also stunned; she didn't expect Tony to criticize her because of this.
Coulson and the two others could only leave temporarily. Then Tony took Ethan and walked out, got into a Rolls-Royce, and drove to his Villa in New York.
Soon, news appeared, all reporting Tony Stark's return and the closure of the weapon manufacturing department. Stark Industries' stock had fallen as low as it could go. The board members of Stark Industries were also furiously cursing Tony Stark behind his back.
Closing the weapon manufacturing department caused them to lose a large sum of U.S. dollars, and their dissatisfaction with Tony Stark reached its peak! On the other side, Obadiah also began to contact the Terrorists in Afghanistan.
When Jiang Bai left, he did not kill all the Terrorists. There was still a small leader alive in the monitoring room who, along with a few subordinates, miraculously survived the various explosions! After the explosions ended, he went to where Tony Stark and Ethan were held and discovered the Iron Man Armor's manufacturing design blueprint.
And the Iron Man Armor wreckage in the desert outside the valley. After receiving Obadiah's contact, he told Obadiah everything. He wanted to exchange these things for Stark Industries' weapons or U.S. dollars. Now that the old boss was dead, he was the new boss.
Obadiah was very interested after learning about the Iron Man Armor's design blueprint and the Iron Man Armor's wreckage. He didn't expect Tony to create such a thing, but the silver-White Armor mentioned by the small leader made him very confused.
He didn't know who the other party was, but now the important thing was to get the Iron Man Armor's design blueprint and wreckage. For this, he personally took a private plane to Afghanistan, Earth, but he was not like Tony; he brought plenty of bodyguards!
Upon arriving at the Afghanistan airport, a massive motorcade began to head towards the small leader's location. The entire motorcade, except for Obadiah, consisted of bodyguards, all fully armed and equipped with Stark Industries' latest weapons and gear.
There were nearly a hundred people. Given Obadiah's wealth, these bodyguards were at least retired special forces members! As the motorcade advanced, it quickly arrived at a camp on a hidden plain!
"I said you should have killed Tony Stark directly. Now he's back in New York. This is your mistake!"
"You were the one who didn't agree to the deal, otherwise he would have died long ago. The price you offered was too low!"
"Alright, I'm not here to argue with you. Where are the things? Bring them out."
"Look, he just made this thing, that's why he escaped from us!"
After entering the camp, inside a tent, Obadiah said to the Terrorist leader in front of him with a displeased expression. The Terrorist also responded to Obadiah with a displeased look. Then Obadiah didn't want to continue arguing with the other party and told him to bring out the items.
He signaled two subordinates to bring the items over. Soon, Obadiah saw a blue Armor design blueprint and a piece of Iron Man Armor wreckage! Although he was not a scientist, he had vision, and he had already seen the power of this Armor through the design blueprint.
Zzzzzzzzzzz!
The next second, Obadiah stood up and used the infrasound weapon designed and manufactured by Tony directly on the Terrorist in front of him, instantly freezing the Terrorist leader on the sofa, unable to move or even make a sound! The blood vessels on his face began to gradually appear, turning black.
High-power infrasound can cause strong resonance in internal organs, making people feel nauseous, headache, difficulty breathing, and even leading to blood vessel rupture and internal organ damage. The effect of high-power ultrasound is similar to infrasound, but its transmission directionality is better than infrasound, almost propagating in a straight line, easy to control, strong in linear penetration, but small in killing range.
Three minutes later, this Terrorist leader died directly from the infrasound weapon. Gunshots also began to ring out outside the tent, stopping shortly after. When Obadiah walked out of the tent with the Iron Man Armor's design blueprint, all the Terrorists outside had been dealt with by his bodyguards.
He waved for two bodyguards to go in and bring the items, while he got into the car and waited. Soon, the massive motorcade left the camp. Obadiah, in the car, looked at the Iron Man Armor's design blueprint and began to imagine the scene after returning to New York and manufacturing it. Through this whole thing,
Perhaps he could easily deal with Tony. With this Armor, even if the Government and Military knew he killed Tony, they wouldn't do anything. If the Iron Man Armor were used in war, it would be a weapon of war, with a huge impact on the situation.
Even if the Government had objections, the Military would protect him! With that, Obadiah sat in the car, looking in the direction of New York, and smiled sinisterly.
.....
"Young Master, all the stocks have been sold. We now have three billion U.S. dollars!"
"Hmm, take out two and a half billion and buy Stark Industries' stock again."
"This, alright..."
Jiang Bai, on the second floor, sat on the sofa watching Tony Stark's morning press conference. Martin also told Jiang Bai that he had sold all the stocks he held. But Jiang Bai's next words made him very confused, thinking of what Jiang Bai had said before and the silver-White Armor.
He didn't ask further. He went downstairs and began to mobilize funds to acquire Stark Industries' stock! Jiang Bai looked at Tony Stark on TV and smiled faintly, but he still had some worries in his heart, fearing that his appearance would create a butterfly effect.
The butterfly effect is a chaotic phenomenon, illustrating that the development of any matter has both certainty and variables. While the development trajectory of matter has patterns to follow, there are also unpredictable "variables," sometimes even counterproductive. A tiny change can affect the development of matter. The solution to the problem is extremely sensitive to initial conditions. That is to say, in a dynamic system, subtle changes in initial conditions will lead to a significant difference in the sequence of different event developments.
