Tony spoke, simultaneously unlocking his phone and playing the video.
Seeing that Tony Stark already knew everything he had done, Obadiah's eyes immediately became sharp, no longer possessing the warm gaze that contained admiration for a junior and doting affection.
"Since you know everything, what do you want? To humiliate me, take everything I have, or have someone arrest me?"
"Whew!"
Tony stared at Obadiah's unfamiliar gaze without blinking.
He took a deep breath.
"The whole world says I'm a genius, but it took me decades to truly see your true face today. How have you worn that mask of kindness towards me for decades?"
"I deserve this, Tony Stark. I turned this company into one of the largest in the world. I manage it day in and day out, while you just hide in your ridiculous lab, making a few missiles!"
"The most ridiculous thing is that you, a weapons merchant, have announced that you won't make weapons anymore. I'm fed up with your willful behavior and nonsense. You're as childish as a baby in an ivory tower. The rules of this world don't work that way, Tony. This company should be in my hands!"
Obadiah Stane slammed his hand on the table and roared, all the while secretly reaching into his pants pocket.
In that pocket, there was a small Ultrasonic Emitter.
It could quickly paralyze a person. Correspondingly, there was also a pair of headphones in the pocket that could resist the ultrasonic waves.
"This is where it ends, Obadiah. Hand over your position on the Board of Directors, hand over the management rights of the company. I will buy your shares at a price 50% above the market value."
"Find a place to spend your old age in peace, Obadiah. Otherwise, the next person to come looking for you will be carrying a gun and handcuffs!"
"You have five days. This is my last respect for you, Uncle Obadiah!"
Facing the somewhat hysterical Obadiah, Tony didn't want to say anything more.
He coldly tossed a sentence and turned to leave.
But Tony's last words caused Obadiah's hand, which had been reaching into his pocket, to slowly relax.
Five days, enough time for him to complete a set of Armor.
As for energy, didn't Tony Stark have one in his chest?
Obadiah seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
However, he was incredibly cooperative with the people Tony sent.
The company's various business operations, stacks upon stacks of data and documents.
All were explained in meticulous detail, with incredibly thorough explanations of the specific content and details.
It truly felt like handing over a child he had raised.
He patiently explained what the "child" should avoid, what it liked, and so on.
For Obadiah Stane, who had spent half his life working at this company, this was a perfectly normal expression of emotion.
This behavior even caused Tony Stark to lower his guard.
Facing the reports from his team.
Tony just said in a detached tone.
"Let him take his time. If it's slow, so be it. Just make sure he signs everything in five days."
And so, Obadiah pretended to cooperate with the transition of management rights within the company every day. He rambled on about the company's history, the purpose of each project's initiation, and so on.
He firmly pressed Tony's hands onto the documents in the office.
Behind the scenes, he hadn't relaxed his control over the factories and laboratories one bit.
Within the area he'd named Area 16, an iron giant was gradually taking shape.
In Malibu's mansion, Tony sat on the sofa and dialed Pepper's number.
"All the documents are ready. As long as Obadiah officially resigns at tomorrow's Board of Directors meeting and then signs the share transfer agreement, everything will be fine."
"Okay, you attend the Board of Directors meeting for me! I'll have Happy pick you up tomorrow morning!"
Tony didn't want to go to the company to face Obadiah's departure.
"Alright! But don't pick me up. I'm staying at the company today. You know I've been so busy lately that I haven't even had time to sleep. You should give me a raise, boss!"
Pepper understood Tony's thoughts very well, agreed to his request, and even joked with Tony.
After hanging up the phone, Tony seemed a little lost.
"Sir, Mr. Obadiah Stane is at the door. He requests to see you!"
Under Qin Xiao's strong suggestion and the shock of the massacre by the Middle Eastern terrorists, Tony had closed off Obadiah's access to his home.
So, Obadiah, who could always directly enter Tony's mansion, was now standing at the door, communicating with Jarvis.
Tony picked up a remote control on the table and pressed a button.
The image of Obadiah Stane standing at the door was transmitted in.
"Tony! Open the door. I'm leaving tomorrow. I bought a small island in the Indian Ocean. Aren't you even going to give me a chance to say goodbye?"
Obadiah Stane was no longer as spirited as before. His usually burly figure now looked even a little desolate.
His eyes were filled with sincerity as he spoke.
"Sigh!"
Tony Stark rubbed his face with some hesitation.
"Jarvis, let him in!"
In the end, Tony Stark couldn't bear to refuse Obadiah Stane, who was standing at the door.
"Tony! I'm so sorry. I mean, I've been thinking things over these past few days. I came here today to say I'm sorry, and to say goodbye!"
Obadiah walked in slowly.
"How was the island scenery?"
Tony didn't get up, still sitting on the sofa, and spoke slowly.
"It's absolute paradise. To be honest, I should have done this a long time ago. Some things, you only feel relieved when you let them go. Then you realize what you truly need in life."
"Sunshine, wine, cigars, fishing, and the indispensable girls, right?"
Obadiah looked like he had seen through everything and finally let go.
"Congratulations, Obadiah!"
Tony was genuinely happy for him.
He looked up and said sincerely.
But just as he looked up, he realized something was wrong with Obadiah.
He had an earpiece in each ear.
Damn…
The thought had just flashed through Tony's mind.
A piercing sound came from Obadiah.
Almost instantly, the veins on Tony's body bulged, and he was paralyzed.
Unable to move.
The Ultrasonic Emitter could instantly paralyze someone; he had invented it himself.
Later, the government shut down the project.
He hadn't expected Obadiah Stane to still have one.
"You really should congratulate me, because I'm about to become one of the most powerful people in the world."
Obadiah Stane cast off his previous dejection, revealing a sinister appearance!
