Joseph, as a former soldier, was once the king among the new recruits. In terms of combat, no one could beat him, except for the true veterans.
But now, facing this woman, he had no power to fight back. He was not stupid. If he continued to fight, his life would be in danger, and there were two other people eyeing him menacingly.
Although his rationality was less than his beastly nature, he was not an idiot. And after venting, his anger had subsided considerably, so he naturally would not foolishly continue fighting.
Looking at the rising dust around him, he seized the opportunity to escape.
By the time the dust settled, the Lizard Man's figure had already vanished.
Natasha frowned slightly. This guy actually escaped? Not so stupid after all.
Since this guy had run off, there was no point in her staying here. Without waiting for Spider-Man and Tony Stark to react, Natasha disappeared from people's sight in a few leaps.
Spider-Man scratched his head, sprayed a web from his wrist, and left the scene. Although he was quite curious why Natasha could also spray webs, had she also been bitten by a spider?
Tony, seeing that both of them had left, shrugged his shoulders, activated his thrusters, and departed the scene. He now understood the flaws in his armor.
It was sufficient for ordinary people, but far from enough for these mutated individuals and super-powered beings. He still needed to continue improving it.
Obadiah Stane, a veteran of Stark Industries.
He once fought alongside Howard Stark, and together they created the world's most renowned weapon manufacturing company.
Of course, Stark Industries did not solely rely on weapons for profit. It also produced various other civilian products.
But undoubtedly, what else in this world could be more profitable than weaponry?
People would always pull out large sums of U.S. dollars to buy various weapons for some trivial matters, and then raise a butcher's knife against their own kind.
Especially after Howard Stark's death, Obadiah once controlled this super group, which was truly the most wonderful period of his life.
Even recalling it today, Obadiah still yearned immensely for those past times.
However, unpleasant things always popped up in the beauty of memories, such as that wet-behind-the-ears kid, the arrogant and promiscuous playboy Tony Stark.
How Obadiah wished this guy would keep playing wildly and squandering until he had spent all of his Stark Industries shares.
Only then could he truly take charge of the weapon empire. But Tony always disappointed people. He actually came back!
This guy, who had always been indifferent to his father's business, actually returned, and under his leadership, Stark Industries actually flourished.
In just over a decade, Stark Industries's stock price had quintupled, and their weapons were sold all over the world.
This should have been good news for them, at least for the other shareholders, as they received large dividends every year.
But for Obadiah, it was not good news at all.
His importance in this group was becoming lower and lower. Although he still firmly held the position of CEO through his personal relationship with Tony.
But there were already people on the board of directors saying he was old, that he was outdated, and that he should relinquish power and retire, just like the other old men on the board.
Buy a luxury yacht, take some beautiful and sexy blonde girls to the Mediterranean to enjoy life, and just wait for the dividends to come in every year.
For some, this kind of life was paradise, but for Obadiah, this kind of life was hell.
He could not imagine how difficult life would be without power. It would accelerate his aging, make him lose vitality, and eventually turn him into a penniless old man—except for being very rich, of course.
So he planned a murder, and the target of the murder was Tony Stark.
Power was always more important than kinship. Even though Tony had always seen him as a close uncle, he still decided to kill Tony.
Originally, all the plans were meticulous. Tony went to Afghanistan, entered the ambush, and a missile manufactured by Stark Industries hit his convoy.
Logically, everything should have ended at that moment. Tony should have died, and he would become the true helmsman of this business empire.
Everything was so perfect, but unfortunately, this perfect plan was ruined by a group of idiots.
They foolishly wanted to control Tony Stark, demanded a price increase, and also requested Tony Stark to manufacture Jericho missiles for them.
However, the final result was that Tony escaped, and to this day, he still did not know how Tony managed to escape that cave in Afghanistan.
He did not know, but that did not mean those Ten Rings Gang scoundrels did not know. This time, he was going to a meeting for a transaction.
These damned scoundrels actually threatened him, saying that if he did not come, they would expose the evidence of their collusion to the world.
So, he had no choice but to come.
But he was not there to negotiate. He was there to kill all these fools. He brought a full thirty heavily armed mercenaries, all equipped with the best weapons from Stark Industries.
To let these scoundrels know the consequences of offending the CEO of Stark Industries.
Obadiah arrived at the agreed location in the Middle East. As the current acting chairman of Stark Industries, he did not need to report his whereabouts to anyone.
"Mr. Obadiah, it's an honor to see you again," the bald leader smiled.
"I don't feel honored," Obadiah said unceremoniously.
"Mr. Obadiah, I believe you're very curious about how Tony Stark broke out of our base, aren't you?" the bald leader chuckled.
"Oh?" Obadiah became interested and asked, "What helped him break out of your base?"
"That's also part of the deal. I believe Mr. Obadiah won't be disappointed," the bald leader said.
"Alright, tell me about the deal," Obadiah said indifferently.
"Our leader greatly admires Tony and hopes you can capture Tony. What you'll get is this armor and these design blueprints," the bald leader said.
At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to pull back the covering curtain, revealing a two-meter-tall, fierce and domineering armor before Obadiah.
The bald leader pushed the design blueprints, drawn by Tony, toward Obadiah.
He imagined Obadiah would agree to his terms.
"Do you know what the biggest weakness of organizations like yours is?"
"Lack of technology, stupidity, ignorance. No technology will always be your shortcoming," Obadiah sneered. He secretly activated a small device he had kept hidden in his palm.
This was an infrasound emitter. It was not very powerful, but it could immobilize a person for fifteen minutes.
