Chapter 30: The Result Obadiah! I am Iron Man!
"Tony, no! I'm your uncle, I'm your uncle! I won't fight you for Stark Industries anymore, please let me go, okay?! Tony!!"
Bang—!
Facing Tony, who was walking step by step, Obadiah collapsed and begged Tony for mercy, using his status as his uncle to play the emotional card. But thinking of his experiences in Afghanistan, thinking of Ethan, thinking of Pepper, and thinking of how he almost died at the hands of this uncle just now, he picked up his handgun and pulled the trigger at Obadiah!
A bullet hole appeared on Obadiah's forehead. After Jiang Bai saw Tony kill Obadiah, he immediately activated his stealth shielding mode and disappeared from the scene, then initiated flight mode and flew towards his own Manor.
The guns aimed at Coulson and others also fell to the ground after Jiang Bai left. Coulson immediately contacted his Director and informed him about Jiang Bai's appearance! And also about how the latter destroyed all the cameras and surveillance devices.
Tony had Jarvis contact Stark Industries' security to bring both suits of armor back to his Villa. Obadiah's body was directly thrown into a furnace within the Stark Industries factory and incinerated! Then, Tony got into a car and drove towards the Villa.
Inside Tony's Villa, several medical personnel were already waiting...
....
The next day
Because many people captured footage of last night's events, there are now many titles for Tony and Jiang Bai circulating online, but the most popular one is 'Iron Man'! And under Jiang Bai's deliberate control, his popularity gradually decreased, while Iron Man's popularity continued to increase.
Because of what happened inside Stark Industries, many people speculated that Tony Stark was Iron Man. After all, this also fits his persona; although he is a playboy and a billionaire, it is undeniable that he is a super genius!
For this reason, Rhodes and Coulson also asked Tony to hold a press conference, and even prepared a speech for him. The remaining matters would be handled by the two of them, with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Military stepping in to suppress the online buzz. Even Jiang Bai sat in front of the TV with great interest, waiting for Tony to say those words.
He was also a little nervous in his heart, wondering if his appearance would cause Tony not to say he was Iron Man at this press conference. He felt that the future timeline would also be chaotic; just the iron monger alone had become much stronger.
This should also be the result of the butterfly effect, so Jiang Bai was still a bit anxious. After returning last night, Wanda and Lorna began to question where he had gone. Initially, Jarvis's conversation with him was not hidden from the two of them.
So Wanda and Lorna both knew that Jiang Bai had gone to save Tony Stark, but because Wanda harbored deep hatred for Tony Stark, and now Jiang Bai went to save him, she didn't think Jiang Bai couldn't do that, but rather she didn't know how to face Jiang Bai in the future.
She knew she had no right to demand what Jiang Bai should or shouldn't do. In the future, she would definitely seek revenge on Tony Stark. From the conversation just now, it could be inferred that Jiang Bai and Tony Stark had a good relationship, which is why she didn't know how to face Jiang Bai in the future.
In response, Jiang Bai simply told Wanda to do whatever she wanted. His relationship with Tony Stark was not as good as she imagined. He also told them that the weapons used by the Terrorists were from Stark Industries, but they were not sold by Tony.
However, he also didn't object to them causing trouble for Tony, after all, it was ultimately created by Tony, and besides, his relationship with Tony was only based on six favors! He naturally stood on Wanda and Lorna's side, which finally made Wanda and Lorna let Jiang Bai off the hook.

"OK, you just need to read from the script later! Make sure there are no mistakes!"
"Hmm... OK, to be honest, this is a bit ridiculous."
"Don't care if it's ridiculous or not, just remember to read it, buddy!"
Inside the Stark Industries tower, Rhodes handed Tony a speech manuscript and told Tony to read from it, urging him not to make any mistakes! Tony raised an eyebrow and complained to Rhodes, who rolled his eyes at Tony and said helplessly. Soon, as Tony entered, reporters flocked to him with questions.
"Mr. Tony Stark, are you really Iron Man, as the internet claims?"
"Mr. Tony Stark, was the armor next to the Stark Industries factory last night Stark Industries' latest research project?"
"Do you know about the silver-white armor from last night?"
A large group of reporters surrounded Tony, asking questions repeatedly. Tony didn't answer any of them, walking straight to the podium. Rhodes and Coulson, standing not far away, watched Tony with worried expressions, only hoping he would read from the script, otherwise, there would be a lot of trouble again.
Thinking of Tony's restless personality, Rhodes felt a headache. He wasn't sure if Tony would follow the script. When Tony arrived at the podium, he aimed at the microphone and began to read from the script, but the dry and perfunctory speech didn't impress these reporters at all!
"Mr. Tony Stark, please bring out the real Iron Man. I think the online speculation is simply nonsense. You cannot possibly be Iron Man. I don't see any sense of responsibility or duty of a superhero in you. You are just a playboy, so please don't waste everyone's time! Bring out the real Iron Man!"
At this moment, a blond, blue-eyed reporter with a graceful figure stood up and spoke to Tony Stark with sharp words. After she finished speaking, the surrounding reporters looked at her in great surprise. One must know that this was Tony Stark! Although Stark Industries had closed its weapon manufacturing department, it was still a behemoth that these reporters could not touch.
Everyone was very surprised that this reporter dared to openly mock Tony Stark at a press conference. As long as Tony Stark said a word, this woman would not be able to stay in New York and Washington. Many reporters looked at her with a hint of pity and mockery in their eyes.
Tony Stark is a billionaire, and you're openly mocking him at a press conference; it's simply overestimating yourself. How ignorant must one be to do such a thing! Many fellow reporters quietly moved away from this reporter, fearing they would be implicated.
"...Uh, OK, I admit I don't have the responsibility and duty of a superhero... I... Alright! I am Iron Man!"
"Whoa—!"
"Wow—!"
"I knew this guy wouldn't stick to the script. We're going to be busy now!"
