In Tony's telling.

Mark finally understands the reason for Tony and Pepper's argument.

Obadiah Stein.

Yes.

Or because of a man.

But Obadiah Stan was as simple as a man.

Obadiah Stan is a good friend of Howard Stark and Tony Stark's godfather.

After the death of Howard Stark and his wife in a car accident, it was Obadiah Stan who was on top of the entire Stark Industries when they were leaderless.

Even.

Obadia Stan made it clear in an interview that the chairman of Stark Industries can only be Howard's son Tony Stark.

Yes.

In Tony's mind, Obadiah Stan is more than just a godfather......

As for the fuse of the quarrel?

Pepper used to be Tony's personal assistant, and most of the work was responsible for Tony's schedule and living arrangements outside of business, and the work involved was only of a more personal nature.

But after becoming an assistant to the chairman, it was different.

As assistant to the chairman, Pepper has the greatest access to all matters of the company within Stark Industries.

R&D.

Industry.

Sale.

……

And, of course, the most important financial ......

It's obvious.

After spending half a year learning how to be an assistant to the chairman, Pepper began to officially assume the role of assistant to the chairman.

Outcome......

It was also for Pepper to notice that something was wrong.

There are discrepancies in the number of non-conforming weapons destroyed.

Yes.

Don't think that arms companies don't have substandard products, even food companies have substandard food.

Substandard products: Any enterprise involved in production will exist.

However, in Pepper's view, the number of several substandard products is too different, and after calling up the information, Pepper found that the span of unqualified products has been seven or eight years, and even two or three per year......

This is unusual.

If that were the case, Stark Industries' housekeeping department wouldn't be unaware.

At first, Pepper also thought that she was not good at learning.

But then......

Pepper spent three months investigating privately and found that every time there was such an unusual amount of reimbursement, the same three people were destroyed.

After another investigation.

These three people are present in Stark Industries' personnel files, but the reality is ...... No such person was found.

After that.

Pepper found out the personnel manager who recruited these three people from the three people who had not found this person.

The personnel manager who recruited these three people was real.

But in '02 he was dismissed.

Pepper then asked Debbie to look up the personnel manager, but it turned out that the personnel manager had been in a car accident on the third day after her dismissal......

And then.

The investigation appears to be at an impasse.

Just as Pepper was about to give up, an internal reminder she had set up through Jarvis rang.

This was Pepper's independent alerting to Jarvis when he received a similar anomalous break in the production plant and walked over the Stark management system.

Ultimately.

Pepper noted the breakage and destruction, which included the Jericho missile, which had just been mass-produced and scheduled for three months to be declared by the military.

Because it is a new type of weapon, it is different from other conventional weapons that have already been mass-produced in terms of destruction procedures......

Stark Industries signed the Patriot Treaty, and the production of Jericho missiles took place after the Patriot Treaty was signed.

In terms of the treaty, the sale of Jericho missiles must be regulated by the DOD, and cannot be sold or fall into the hands of hostile forces to prevent them from being used against the natives themselves.

So.

When the list of Jericho missiles was destroyed, Pepper kept an eye on the destruction process.

Ultimately.

Obadiah Stan has surfaced......

After that, that's what Mark knew.

Pepper ran over to Tony with the evidence she had gathered.

But Tony ......

All right.

Obadiah Stan is, after all, Tony's godfather and Tony's most admired elder.

And so the quarrel arose.

Afterwards.

Pepper left the villa in a rage and drove to New Jersey on the road and was in a car accident......

Poolside.

Mark and Tony were spewing smoke over there with a cigar.

Half ringing.

After listening to Tony's account, Mark exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly, "Have you looked into the car accident with Pepper?" ”

"Of course, it was a very unfortunate traffic case, and the driver who caused the accident also died on the spot." Tony nodded, then looked at Mark and said, "You don't think Uncle Stan has a problem, do you?" ”

Mark smiled and said, "Obadiah Stan is your uncle, not mine. ”

Tony frowned.

He was a little uncomfortable.

Again, that's the same sentence.

Tony has very few friends, and it is precisely because of the few, that Tony cherishes his friends, as can be seen from the fact that Tony made a steel armor specifically for James......

Obadiah Stan is Tony's godfather, and Tony trusts him.

It is because of trust.

Tony doesn't allow anyone who tries to sow discord between the two to show up.

That's Pepper and Mark.

Try someone you don't know?

Do you really think Tony is a kind-hearted arms dealer?

Yes.

Mark will only be kind to those traverser ancestors who dare to make a deal with Tony with this news as soon as they don't even have an identity.

To put it nicely, it's conceited.

Doesn't it sound good?

That's stupidity.

And it's stupid to the extreme......

Mark looked at the expression on Tony's face and shook his head, "Then what do you want to hear from me?" ”

Tony opened his mouth.

Mark shrugged, "You just want me to support you, to endorse your opinion of Obadiah, and to put me on your side, right?" ”

Tony was silent.

Did he think so?

Tony didn't know either.

Half ringing.

Mark extinguished the cigar in his hand and said lightly: "How much do you know about the driver who caused the accident?" ”

"Not much." Tony rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Jarvis." ”

The words fell.

Jarvis's large screen is projected directly above the pool.

Tony said, "Bring up the information of the driver who caused the accident. ”

"Understood, sir!"

As Jarvis responded, the light on the projection screen flowed.

Mark even saw the federal database that flashed across the page.

Mark's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He was thinking about a question.

Should the super-rich Tony Stark be arrested on charges of trespassing?

That's big news.

No doubt.

Just as Mark was thinking so, a person's profile appeared on the projection page.

Jarvis's voice rang out.

"Bill Chester, male, 55 years old, from Jersey City, New Jersey, truck driver, no criminal record...... In the financial system, there are a total of $120,000 in loans...... There is also his autopsy report and the information collected at the scene...... Before the accident, Bill Chester learned that he was suffering from cancer from the Queens Public Hospital in New York, and on the way to New Jersey, he lost his mind and caused the car accident......

Tony had heard this message a dozen times before today.

Just like he thought.

This is a tragedy.

Tony then looked at Mark.

But......
