Chapter 31: The Wrath of Obadiah
Early in the morning, Lin Yu went straight to Stark Industries.
Because the destination this time was not home, he didn't rub the car, but took a taxi.
Stark Industries is unprecedentedly deserted.
The vast majority of employees were involved in shutting down the weapons department, and Tony simply gave all of them a day off.
No employee expected that he would be fired, so he chose to resign in anger.
It's not that they didn't have that kind of foresight, but ...... Resigning on your own and being fired by the company are two different things, and the latter can get a lot of severance pay.
In terms of their wages and working hours, that's a lot of money.
β¦β¦
"Why? Why don't you discuss it with me in advance? β
Obadiah paced back and forth in front of the giant arc reactor, while Tony leaned against the railing, looking at the reactor.
"Tony, Tony! Listen to me! β
Obadiah never got a reply from Tony, and finally couldn't help it, grabbed Tony's shoulder, and forced him to face himself.
"You should know that we are a military-industrial enterprise, and without the weapons department, we are like ......"
"Do you think this thing has a future?" Tony spoke, interrupting him.
"What?" Obadiah was stunned for a moment, until Tony glanced at the arc reactor before he reacted, "You said this thing?" How can it be? This thing is just for outsiders to look like! β
"But it will still be able to provide sufficient and stable power for the building for at least 100 years." Tony said.
"The only difficulty is its sheer size and the cost of construction, do you remember how long it hasn't been a technological breakthrough?"
"It's been 30 years, at least." Obadiah didn't seem so anxious either, knowing that Tony wasn't going to tell him about it for no reason...... But why did Tony suddenly say this?
Don't......
ββ¦β¦ Did you break through? Obadiah reacted and asked tentatively.
Tony didn't answer him with words, but with actionβhe pulled back his shirt, revealing the ark reactor he had handmade in the cave.
"......" Obadiah's eyes flashed with surprise, and he understood very well what it meant, such a portable reactor......
Tons of money!
"This ...... Don't show it......" Obadiah looked left and right, reached out, and closed Tony's shirt with a completely irrepressible smile on his face.
"It's going to make us a lot of money!"
"yes, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Mr. Obadia Stein."
At this time, Lin Yu came over and said.
Obadiah's smile instantly froze on his face.
"Although you probably already remember my name and know my purpose, I have to say it again, after all...... It's a process. β
Lin Yu came to the two of them, took out his documents, as well as the investigation warrant, and displayed them in front of Obadiah.
"Hello, I'm Lin Yu, Operations Commissioner for the IRS Large Business and International Division, and I'm investigating you, Obadia Stein, for tax evasion on illegal income caused by private arms dealing."
"How did you get in? It's a closed area! The smile on Obadia's face disappeared completely, and he said with a gloomy face.
"I let him in." Tony spoke.
"What? Tony, you ......" Obadiah's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What you did, you know for yourself." Tony looked at him.
"Even if I traded weapons in private, so what? We are originally a military-industrial enterprise, and isn't the military-industrial complex just selling weapons? What does it make if you sell it to whom? Obadiah roared.
"And what if you add a deliberately leaking Tony's whereabouts to the terrorists so that they attack and kill Tony?"
The clatter of heels is heard and Pepper walks over with a laptop with a video on the screen.
She clicked play, and the video was filled with a burst of language that she didn't understand at all, but as she typed in a [translate], the intelligent translation system made the voice into English.
"You didn't tell us that you were going to kill Tony Stark, so, Obadiah Stan, we're going to add money......"
"I found this video in the computer recycle bin in your office, but it can't be deleted," Pepper said, his anger and disappointment overflowing.
"Stan, I didn't expect you to actually do that...... How dare you! β
Wave after wave of blows, Obadiah froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.
In his opinion, he had been well hidden, and all the evidence had been cleared by him, at most, the evidence of the arms deal was likely to be found.
But this kind of thing can be settled with money completely.
Therefore, in his opinion, he is invincible.
When he saw the ark reactor that was out of his chest, Obadiah was even more surprised.
But now...... All the surprises turned into fright.
Tony...... You can't do this! Obadiah subconsciously took two steps back, and then stepped forward again, his expression excited, and his whole body trembled, "You can't do this to your uncle!" β
ββ¦β¦ So, that's exactly what you do. The last glimmer of light in Tony's eyes went out.
How he wished that Obadiah would be able to rightly say, "This video is a complete fabrication, and he has never done anything like this." β
If Obadiah had said that, Tony would have believed it. He would even try to find evidence that Obadiah would not be the mastermind of the matter.
But Obadiah didn't.
ββ¦β¦ I want to know why. Tony asked, looking at Obadiah.
"Why? Why...... Because this is Stark Industries that I have been running for so long to develop! Obadiah also figured out that today's situation could not be better, and he responded angrily to Tony's question.
"Your damn father just invented something, and me? I'm in charge of everything that I do to package and sell these things, and to do deals with other people! If it weren't for me, Stark Industries would have been in someone else's pocket!
However, he is the president, and he is the one who occupies the most shares!
It's nothing, and without his invention, Stark Industries wouldn't have been able to develop...... But what about after that, after he's gone??!
I single-handedly propped up Stark Industries!
And then you grow up again, like your damn father, who invents something, who invents weapons...... Then he justifiably took the position of president and occupied the most shares!
Of course I'm not convinced, in the end I'm just a part-time worker? Although he is a nominal vice president and does the work of president, he does not even have a controlling stake in security......
And you'll be able to spend all day drinking, and only need to find the time to invent a little bit of a weapon! β
