Chapter 30: Continue to fool Obadiah
Obadiah, who was on the other end of the phone, would never have thought that Lu Yuan was sitting at Tony’s computer desk and even talking with him in front of Tony.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan was still mocking Tony in front of himself.
Who could have imagined that?
“I agree with this deal. Give it to me,” Obadiah finally compromised.
He was going to pay one billion dollars to Lu Yuan to get Tony’s ark reactor.
Instead of agreeing, Lu Yuan laughed. “That’s impossible. You have to get it yourself. You should know that I’m just a bodyguard. I can’t enter his studio.”
On the other side, Tony spread out his hands helplessly. Little Pepper was even more speechless. How did this person open his mouth and say such nonsense?
Aren’t you sitting here now?
But Obadiah believed him because even he could not enter the studio without Tony’s permission.
There weren’t many people who could enter or leave the studio at will, and Little Pepper was one of them. This showed her importance in Tony’s heart.
“Then what can you give me?” Obadiah asked Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan spoke without thinking. “Of course I will help you get what you want. For example, you can use the company’s name to hold a party, and I’ll help you keep an eye on Tony’s whereabouts. Then you can come in and take what you want.”
Obadiah laughed due to anger: “This is all I can get for one billion dollars?”
“You can not agree, but I can also tell Tony to protect such an important thing well. There’s also the most important point. I know what you want to do in the end. Compared to what you will get after defeating Tony, what is this one billion?” Lu Yuan opened his mouth.
Well, it’s one billion. Does he think it’s a dollar?
What was it? Of course, it was a lot.
Even Tony shook his head.
Obadiah was about to bleed out, and it was still a bloody pit.
This guy had already prepared an inferior ark reactor, and he was waiting for Obadiah to willingly jump into his bottomless abyss.
However, Tony wasn’t going to stop it, because he already knew that Obadiah was the mole and the one who wanted to kill him.
Now, all he could do was wait for Obadiah to tear his face. If he really did that, it meant that he intended to start a war with him, and Tony would also be mentally prepared.
Obadiah was silent. He was considering whether this deal was worth it.
Lu Yuan wasn’t in a hurry. He just sat there and patiently waited for him to decide.
Only Pepper was kept in the dark, so she did not dare to speak. She did not know what was happening, so she could only obediently stand beside Tony.
Finally, Obadiah spoke. “What are you going to do to make me feel that the deal is worth it?”
What he meant was that he didn’t think it was worth it unless Lu Yuan personally gave the item to him. Why would he spend 1 billion dollars and then steal the item himself?
However, Lu Yuan did not feel that it was not worth it at all. Instead, he said, “Do you have a choice? You also saw Tony’s might, and the world also saw the strength of his armor. Once Tony is exposed, will you have any chance? You will only be able to wait for Tony to kick you out of the company. Besides, as long as he knew that the ambush was caused by you, as well as the deal you made with those guys from the Ten Rings, do you think he would let you go? Tony has already seen the weapons you sold to the Ten Rings.”
“Don’t slander me,” Obadiah tried to argue.
Lu Yuan laughed. “Brother, do you still have to argue with me? There’s no need to hide, right? I’ve already guessed that you were the one who did this. You found someone to kill Tony. I just don’t know if you’re still in contact with the Ten Rings?”
Little Pepper opened her mouth to exclaim.
Fortunately, Tony was prepared. He hugged Little Pepper, covered her mouth with his hand, and slowly shook his head.
Little Pepper then realized that did it mean that Tony’s attack was planned by Obadiah? He was the one behind it?
Moreover, Little Pepper knew that Obadiah was not only one of the founders of Stark Group, he was also one of the largest shareholders of the group. He was even Howard’s friend and Tony’s mentor.
How could he do this?
She could not believe that Obadiah was such a person, so she almost cried out in surprise. If Obadiah heard her voice, it would definitely arouse his suspicion and ruin Lu Yuan’s plan.
Lu Yuan glanced at Little Pepper, but he didn’t argue with her. With his strength and previous status, he wouldn’t argue with a little girl, not to mention that he was still speaking in front of her.
Of course, if Little Pepper was his subordinate, and she did it again, he would have been sent her flying regardless of whether she was a man or a woman.
That was how he strictly ruled the military.
That was why the 100,000 men were willing to follow him to the death to protect the country.
Only a strict general could make his subordinates willing to pledge their loyalty to the death. Of course, he must also have the charm and he should act with fairness and justice.
Lu Yuan looked at Tony with a hint of blame in his eyes, but he kept talking with Obadiah.
Obadiah felt skeptical. “You are saying that Tony would voluntarily expose himself as the Tin Man?”
Lu Yuan shook his head and reminded him, “Didn’t they already call him Iron Man on TV? Tony seems to be very satisfied with this title, and there were even people who said that he’s a superhero. Do you think that, with his arrogant personality, would he like it?”
Obadiah became speechless when he put it that way.
If Lu Yuan was talking about anyone else, Obadiah would not believe him. However, he knew Tony’s personality. That guy would indeed expose himself as the tin Man on TV because of this title and the chance to become a superhero.
No, it was the Iron Man. The media already called him that.
There was even a talk show where guests were invited to guess who Iron Man was.
Some people said that Iron Man must be from the United States because only the United States was so great.
Lu Yuan thought that it was bulls**t because it was his guidance that returned the current Iron Man back on track.
Otherwise, Iron Man would have died in his womb and Tony would not have become a superhero. He would still be a bastard playboy.
“I mean, are you really going to miss this opportunity? Or do you think you still have a choice?” When Lu Yuan saw that Obadiah was hesitating to make a decision, he finally became impatient. He sneered and said: “Well, it seems that I can only stand on Tony’s side. You should just wait to go to jail. I will be very happy to watch Tony as he snatches all of your shares, and completely turns the company into a family business.”
This sentence was heartbreaking. In reality, Obadiah had always hated the fact that even though he and Howard had created this company together, but it was called the Stark Group of industries.
“Wait a moment.”
