Stark has no memory of that wonderful night with Maya Hansen in Switzerland two years ago.

Even if he remembered, he would only be impressed by Maya Hansen, and would not think that the down-and-out long-haired man he had never taken to heart would actually become the chairman of Oss Corporation about two years later.

That's how wonderful the world is.

Killian, who fell to the bottom of his life and dreamed of setting sail, met the fledgling David, and then completed the primitive accumulation as quickly as possible, and became an upper-class person with the same status as Tony Stark.

Moreover, when Stark Industries is facing a predicament, it can stand up without scruples and step on two feet.

Just one word "cool" is enough to describe it.

Killian saw that netizens were exuding vicious comments in every word, even if he knew that this group of netizens included the water army called by David, his heart felt like he was in the scorching desert, and he drank a bottle of ice water in one gulp, revealing coolness all over his body.

"Tony Stark, this is just the beginning!"

He muttered to himself, smiling.

……

"I want to compete!"

Tony angrily pushed open the door of Obadia's office, his face flushed, and his eyes were filled with extreme anger: "Oba, I don't want to listen to your reasons, I just tell you, I have to compete!" ”

"Nope."

Obadiah was aware of the public opinion on the Internet, and knew that this must be David Fisk's means, so he flatly refused with a blank face: "No matter what happens, Tony, as long as you don't compete, Stark Industries can stabilize the situation, but once you compete, things will become uncontrollable." ”

"It's okay to say if you win, but ......"

At the end of the sentence, he didn't finish speaking, and Tony in front of him already understood what Obadiah meant.

"You think I'm going to lose?"

Tony asked rhetorically, suppressing the anger on his face, and the explosion of his inner world swept away, making his body tremble slightly.

Sometimes, if you don't talk about it, you can still be a turtle with a shrunken head with peace of mind.

But once you talk about it, there's no room for anything.

Tony was annoyed and angry, where had he ever suffered such an insult in his life?

He felt that he had been wronged before, and it was a sacrifice that could be made to let Stark Industries stabilize the situation.

Now there is a complete shift in thinking.

Even if Stark Industries is gone, he is still the richest man in the world, at most from the richest man in the world to one of the top ten richest people in the world.

In that case, then why do you have to suffer this grievance?

What's the point?

"Even if it is said today, I will not agree to let you participate in this fighting match."

Obadiah was equally resolute, and said in a deep voice: "Tony, you are thirty-one years old, you are no longer a child, you have to be mature. Stark Industries is not only your father's hard work, but countless people like me who have worked hard for it to finally turn it into a towering tree! I'm not going to let you like that! ”

"I'm the chairman of Stark Industries!"

Tony ignored it, his eyes were almost bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, and the thought of those vicious comments on the Internet made him angry: "You can't stop me!" ”

】

"You're the chairman, but you're a mascot!"

Obadiah completely lost his patience, "bang", slapped the table and glared, and said coldly: "You haven't managed the company for a day, I am the helmsman of the company!" Tony, you can go out and ask who they listen to. ”

“……”

As soon as this sentence came out, Tony was like a rooster pinched by the neck, and he couldn't make a sound anymore, he froze in place, looking at Obadia in front of him, and only felt that this uncle, who had always been amiable in his eyes, seemed to be a different person.

"No, it shouldn't be like that."

Tony took a deep breath and relieved himself, even the anger in his head was dispelled a lot by Obadiah's words, stared at Obadiah in a daze, and said slowly: "In this company, I should be the one who says the same." ”

"Please."

Obadiah stretched out his hand and made a gesture: "You can go and try, who else can you command besides Harpy." ”

Declarative sentences, not interrogative sentences, demonstrate Obadiah's strong self-confidence.

Over the years, how happy Tony Stark has been as a shopkeeper, how uncomfortable the bitter fruit is now.

Now that power has been completely delegated to Obadiah, you have to learn to suffer the consequences of being backlashed.

Obadiah is not a mediocre man.

With the efforts of these years, Stark Industries has long been built into an iron bucket.

It can only be said that there is indeed a hall of words within Stark Industries. However, it wasn't Tony Stark's word, but his Obadia Stanley's.

These words made Tony's face disappear with anger, as if he had been doused with a basin of cold water, his eyes became slightly cold, he looked deeply at Obadiah, and then turned away without saying a word.

Bang!

Before leaving, he slammed the door.

Obadiah watched the door cut off his view, and still sat firmly in his chair like Tarzan, but there was a look of anger hidden in his eyes, and an uncontrollable thought grew in his heart.

Tony Stark is a golden egg, but it's hard to control.

If the situation is allowed to continue like this, Stark Industries will inevitably become a joke again.

As for letting Tony and David go to the ring?

It's not that Obadiah looks down on Tony, but it turns out that even the cunning guy Norman Osborne can't fight David, let alone Tony, who has zero experience in power struggles.

In such a situation, no matter how good your brain is, it is useless.

First of all, you have to be able to fight.

As we all know, David is a superhero who suppressed the Hulk with his own hands, and at the recent arms fair, he pressed the Green Goblin incarnated by Norman Osborne to the ground and rubbed it.

Obadia's self-confidence in Tony was wiped out in the face of David's achievements.

Although he knew that this remark was almost equivalent to breaking with Tony, if he didn't do so, Tony would definitely act willfully and take the initiative to join the war.

At that time, Tony, who was really under David's hands, would have no room to save the situation with Stark Industries.

"Tony, I hope you can understand something."

Obadia's eyes twinkled, and he took a deep breath to shake off the complicated emotions in his mind.

After a moment's thought, he pushed open the office door and walked to the practice area inside the Stark Industries Building.

It was where Duke Duke, the driver of Mark II, was trained.

At this point, Tony wasn't here.

Obadiah didn't care either, and both he and Tony had to calm each other down.

"Mr. Stanley."

At this time, Duke, who had just finished training with his special forces comrades, saw Obadiah's arrival and took the initiative to say hello.

"How?"

Obadiah asked, "Are you confident?" ”

"Of course."

Duke patted his chest, full of confidence: "I'm very skilled and won't let you and Tony down." ”

When the two were communicating, they suddenly didn't pay attention, and a camera in the practice venue was facing them.

Stark Industries interior, private laboratory.

Tony clicked on the artificial intelligence he had just invented, named "Jarvis", and pondered for a moment:

"Find out the employees at Stark Industries' headquarters building."

"3,976 in all, sir."

"Screen out those who have been in the company for less than 10 years and retain ...... Department of Weapons Development, Ministry of Personnel......"

"There are 671 left, sir."

Tony clicked on the virtual screen and flipped through the information of these more than 600 people, most of them just glanced at it, and the information of a few people would be serious

But the more he flipped it, the more ugly Tony's face became.

He realized that Obadiah wasn't joking with him, because what he said was true.

The entire Stark industry, except for the name "Stark", has nothing to do with "Stark", but it is better to change the name to "Stanley".

Tony still trusts Obadiah, but the brutal truth that is suddenly revealed makes him a little confused, as well as ...... Extreme insecurity.

With great confidence, Obadiah Stanny, who is regarded as his own uncle, has been digging up his roots.

Tony couldn't imagine what it would be like if one day, the man in charge of Stark Industries, not Stark, would have another name, Stanley, or whatever.

"Damn it!"

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Bang!

A fist slammed into the table, and a fire ignited in his eyes.

Anger is mixed with grief.

His only relative in this world also seems to be getting farther and farther away from him.

"David!"

Tony blames David for all this.

Although he knew that it was not all David's fault, even if there was no David, the rift between himself and Obadiah would expand someday in the future, but at least, it wouldn't come so quickly and so violently, and he wouldn't give him a chance to react at all.

After the rage, Tony calmed down again.

Now it's not just about saving face and defeating David in a grappling match, it's also about how to take back the power that belongs to Obadiah.

……

The other side.

Of course, David didn't know that he was trying to make a knife in the heart, and he actually stabbed it in the heart of Stark Industries, so that the rift that existed between Tony and Obadiah was suddenly exposed in the eyes of the two.

He didn't have time to pay attention to it, but turned his attention to another thing.

"Alexander Pierce is going to Osben to visit Ross and inspect the Nano Warframe?"

David muttered, a little surprised.

He suddenly remembered that after incarnating as Batman, suppressing the Hulk, and then fighting against Hellboy to stigmatize him, Hydra spy Jasper Sitwell had extended an invitation to him on behalf of Hydra.

It was an invitation from the leader of Hydra, Alexander Pierce.

However, more than a month has passed.

The invitation never materialized.

Now it seems that it is about the same.

After Alexander Pierce came to New York, the reason why he didn't send someone to tell him, but went to Osben as soon as possible in the name of visiting Ross and inspecting the nano armor was probably the idea of observing himself up close in advance.

"Alexander Pierce ......"

Davy groaned, and then showed a sneer.

Obviously, Hydra's trust in himself is not as high as they say.

But it's also acceptable.

After all, David never really saw himself as a member of Hydra.

Everybody is just using each other.

"Alexander Pierce is the head of the World Security Council, and he has a lot of power, and the World Security Council can almost be said to be his kind of words."

Wesley collected some information about Alexander Pierce through various sources.

He said: "I haven't heard of Alexander Pierce having a relationship with Rose, but at the level of these two people, it's a very common thing to meet and know each other. ”

"But I'm worried that Alexander Pearce's sudden arrival has something to do with the martial arts competition that will be in the near future...... If he, as a minister of the World Security Council, is on the side of Stark Industries, we will be even more passive. ”

At this, Wesley frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, Alexander Pierce won't do that."

David smiled, and suddenly got up.

"Where are you going?"

Wesley was stunned.

"Osben."

David beckoned, motioning for Wesley to hurry up, and said, "Since Alexander Pierce is here, as a big man, we have to pay a visit." ”

"Isn't it a little too sudden?"

Wesley was taken aback and felt that something was wrong with David's behavior.

This kind of high-level meeting, without advance notice, this kind of initiative to come to the door, often seems impolite.

Especially when they don't understand the true purpose of Alexander Pearce.

"Suddenly?"

David laughed, "Maybe, but that's what I want." ”

“……”

Because of his understanding of David, Wesley always felt that his boss had something to say.

But as an employee, Wesley could only honestly sit in the driver's seat, kick the accelerator, and send David to Osben, which is not far from Fisker Pharmaceutical.

……

The entrance of Osben.

Ross warmly received Alexander Pierce, who had come to visit him in Osbon from getting off the plane.

Of course, although he was nominally visiting himself, Rose knew it very well.

Alexander Pierce and himself were only nodding acquaintances, and the two had no extra common language at all.

The real purpose of the former, except for the nano warframe, has almost no other possibilities.

Sure enough, after a few pleasantries, Alexander Pierce got straight to the point.

"Can you see the Nano Warframe?"

"Of course."

Ross readily agreed.

The group then went to the practice ground inside Osben.

Here, Rhodes is battling the soldiers of the Army's Rapid Reaction Force, and the person who commands the soldiers is the abomination of the original episode, Emil Bronsky.

Bang!

Wearing a nano battle armor, Rhodes did not use other special means, but forced a real gun to shoot, knocking down the soldiers in front of him one by one, with easy movements, and it seemed effortless.

Alexander Pearce's eyes lit up at the sight.

Just about to speak.

Suddenly, a man came into Rose's ear, lowered his voice, and said a word.

Alexander Pierce's heart moved, and he squinted his eyes instantly.

There is no doubt that he heard this.

- Davy is here!
