Chapter 55: The Deal of Obadiah
In prison.
Obadiah bowed his head and remained silent.
Due to Tony's deal with Lin Yu, Obadiah is now in a prison cell that is not with other prisoners, but a single room, and even has plenty of food, fruit, as well as books and newspapers, as well as his own electric lights.
If it weren't for the lack of sun and sand outside the window, it might have been thought to be a vacation.
Of course, for Obadiah, it should also be an intolerable environment of filth.
But he's just sitting here now, his eyes closed.
The last words Pepper said kept echoing in his head.
I even have that kind of authority?
How can it be?!
It's definitely fake!
Can...... Is it really fake?
Obadiah was in turmoil, and the quiet environment always made it easy to think about it.
Footsteps were heard suddenly, but Obadiah didn't pay attention, not even opening his eyes.
He understood, if nothing else, that the second half of his ...... After a small half of his life, he will spend half of his life here.
So, there was an accident.
The cells were opened, and two men walked in.
Obadiah looked up at some strange feeling, opened his eyes, and suddenly entered his cell in the middle of the night...... What does he want to do?
A man in the uniform of a prison guard was greeted by another man in a suit and leather shoes.
"Mr. Obadiah, it's a pleasure to meet you." The man in the suit said with a smile.
Obadiah's eyes froze at the other man's waist.
It was a dagger that clearly shouldn't have been on prison guards, a military-tactical dagger.
Obadiah looked at the surveillance camera on the top of the corner of the prison and saw that the red light that represented his work had gone out.
ββ¦β¦ You're here to kill me? Obadiah asked.
"Of course not, I wouldn't need to come here if I killed someone, I came to invite you to join us in our great cause," replied the man in the suit, shaking his head, "We have a common enemy. β
Tony...... Stark. Obadiah slowly spat out the name, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Yes, great Tony Stark, according to our intelligence, he seems to have developed an epochal energy source that is enough to trigger a fourth energy revolution, or the kind that completely overturns." The man whispered.
"So, cooperation? Mr. Obadiah, when the time comes, we can make you rightfully the owner of Stark Industries, and it doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do if you change your name to Stan Industries. β
"So, what about you?" Obadiah stared directly at the man in front of him.
"We don't want much, just some products and the support of capital flows." "In any case, it's a win-win situation," said the man, "and it's better than you, Mr. Obadiah, staying here until you die of nothingness, isn't it?" β
Obadiah's eyes moved slightly.
"I know what you're asking for will never be that simple, and I may even end up being a puppet, or just unloading and killing donkeys...... But, Tony Stark! He betrayed my trust, and he must die!
So, your deal, I agreed. β
Obadiah's eyes were cloudy, and his tone was fierce.
"Mr. Obadiah, you are mistaken, we have always had a lot of integrity, and we would never do what you said." The man in the suit said with a subtle trace of disdain in his eyes, still with a full smile on his face.
"Without further ado, what are you going to do?" Obadiah asked.
"One of the most important things to do for our purpose is to get Tony Stark dead, and now, he's been huddled in his villa, and security has been strengthened nearby.
If it is forcibly attacked, there is no problem with success, but it will cause some problems for the subsequent Stark Industries and the control of the energy source.
So, we need to lure Tony Stark out. β
"How?" Obadiah asked.
"It's up to you, Mr. Obadia." The man in the suit said, "Judging from the conditions of the prison where you live, you know that Tony Stark probably can't bear it.
If you come to a serious illness and write a dying letter and reminisce about some good old days with him, I think he will come. β
"Ha, inferior means." Obadiah said.
"But it works, isn't it, mean, but let's not laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps, Mr. Obadiah."
The man in the suit pointed to the pen and paper on the table, "We still need some time to prepare, Mr. Obadiah, you can prepare the content of the letter first...... We'll let you know when the time comes. β
"Huh." Obadiah sneered, "After talking for a long time, I don't even know who you really are and whether you can do what you say. β
"That's for sure." The man in the suit said.
"It's not enough to just talk about it, I want to see hard proof." Obadiah was unmoved.
"You'll know when you've written this letter and we're all ready, and I can assure you that it will give you confidence that never before." The man in the suit said.
"Well, then, it's getting late, wait for our notice, good night, Mr. Obadia."
The man in the suit bowed politely, then left the prison with the warden.
As the footsteps faded away, the area fell silent again.
Obadiah looked at the camera and saw that it was back to work.
After thinking about it for a while, Obadiah still didn't figure out which organization had such a huge power and had a deep hatred with Tony.
But think of the miniature Ark reactor on Tony's chest...... Even if there is no grudge in the first place, it will arise because of that huge interest, right?
In the darkness, Obadiah remained silent, his eyes gradually turning to determination as more and more images flashed through his mind.
β¦β¦
The next day.
"Peter?"
ββ¦β¦ Peter? β
"Peter!"
ββ¦β¦ What's wrong? Peter looked up a little dazed.
A few strands of silky blonde hair appeared in front of Peter's eyes with a seductive scent.
So Peter continued to look up, and saw the face that he had been thinking about for a long time, and which had been in his dreams so often latelyβGwen Stacy.
The distance was so close that Peter was stunned.
It's not just that he didn't remind him of this matter because of his inexplicable feeling recently, but also because the girl who had been thinking about it for a long time suddenly leaned so close to him......
Peter's entire face began to rapidly engorge and redden.
"You don't seem to be in good spirits today, you've been sleeping on your stomach, is something going on?" Gwen asked.
"I didn't ...... Nothing happened, I was just ......" Peter was about to say when the images he had seen yesterday flashed through his mind.
"Because of what?" Gwen asked curiously.
"No, it's nothing......" Peter shook his head slowly.
"Say, I know you must have something." Gwen said.
"This ...... It's just a little ......" Peter looked left and right, because Gwen was approaching, and now the eyes of most of the people in the class were cast here, he subconsciously felt a little weak.
"I know a good place, come with me." Gwen understood, too.
"Huh?" Peter was stunned.
Before he could react...... Or, by the time he reacted, he had already been dragged out of the classroom by Gwen.
