Malibu Villa is housed in Tony's underground laboratory.

"You say, this was given to you by Ina Shandra?" Tony Stark, who was resting, turned the black USB flash drive in his hand, and looked at Pepper Potts, who was still wearing a drinking party dress in front of him, and asked suspiciously.

Pepper Potts nodded and handed her the USB flash drive, Ina Sandra left the party not long after, Pepper thought about it, and said what she was conjecturing in her heart: "She should have known that I would attend that party, and she specially got an invitation to the party beforehand." ”

"She said she could only show me, and this USB flash drive can only be known to the two of us?" Tony Stark asked again.

"Yes."

"Are you trying to tell me that someone is watching me?" Tony Stark quickly had a speculation in his mind: "Has anyone approached you after that, Pepper?" ”

Pepper Potts thought about it carefully again and shook his head affirmatively: "After I got this USB flash drive, I quickly returned here under the protection of Harpy." However," Pepper suddenly remembered something, and continued: "I said goodbye to Obadiah as I left, and he asked Ina what she had talked to me about, and I responded casually." ”

Tony Stark was thoughtful.

After waiting for a while, Pepper looked at Tony Stark, who was contemplating with the USB flash drive, and couldn't help asking, "What's in here?" ”

"Just look at it." Awakened from his musings by Pepper's voice, Tony stood up, took the USB stick to his workbench, inserted it from an excuse, and ordered Jarvis to read the information stored inside.

Inside is a record of arms trading orders, especially in the recent period before Tony Stark was kidnapped, the kidnappers named the Ten Rings who kidnapped Tony had a transaction with Stark Industries for arms orders. Of course, the price of the arms order on the record was, in Tony's opinion, much lower than its actual value.

"I don't know about these things." Pepper Potts covered her mouth in surprise as she looked at the order records that had been put out. Even though she had helped Stark learn all the information related to the company as Stark's assistant and representative in the company, she was sure that she had never seen this order record on it.

"You're just an assistant Pepper, and the information you have access to is all you can get on the surface. The company's real secrets, of course, they won't let you know easily. Tony Stark's face was calm: "Even me, aren't they hiding it?"

This order record, Luke's kid is trying to tell me that someone in my company wants to get rid of me! The status is very high, the power is great, at least without me, he or they are sure that they can settle everything and get the most benefit. The turmoil on the board of directors these days may have been caused by them. ”

"Who is the person with this status, who is the most matched and most likely?"

Tony looked at Pepper, and together they uttered a name: "Obadia Stanley." ”

After saying the name, Tony's face appeared in shock at the same time.

"Bang Bang!"

A burst of applause came down the stairs of the underground laboratory, and Tony and the two looked up, only to see Obadia Stanley, dressed in a black suit, walking down with a smile on his face.

"You've finally grown up, Tony." Obadiah looked at him with a sigh. Tony and Pepper raised their hands at the guns of their two men, standing still and not daring to move.

"Why?" There was a rare sadness in Tony's eyes, since his father's death, he did regard Obadiah and Jarvis as elders. Jarvis left early, and Tony created an intelligent system called Jarvis as a memory, but now, another person in his heart who is regarded as a relative and elder seems to be far away from him to some extent.

"Why?" Obadiah approached, and a miniature pocket sonic nerve weapon in his hand opened, and he stepped forward, helping Tony Stark, who was nervously disturbed by the weapon, and could no longer control his limbs, and sat down softly backwards. "You're still so naïve, Tony. Why ask why?

You're so smart, can't you think of it?

For Stark Industries, of course! For the sake of profit! I founded this company with your father, Howard, and I have been assisting him since his time, and then when it comes to you, I am going to assist you. I don't think it's fair. Stark Industries should be mine! Without me, it wouldn't have gotten to where it is now.

It was I who sold the technology of your father and son, and it was my connections that developed Stark Industries. However, is it fair that everyone only remembers Howard and Tony?

Why can't you just die at the hands of the kidnappers?

Why did you escape?

Perhaps, the reason why God let you escape is to send this thing on your chest to me. ”

With that, Obadiah Stani dismantled the reactor from Tony's chest under Tony's distracted and Pepper's horrified gaze.

Carefully put the temporarily paralyzed Tony on the ground, and Obadia, who stood up, looked condescendingly at Tony lying on the ground: "I want to thank you for giving me the open white list, otherwise it will be a little troublesome to come in quietly." Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to you, you're just dying from your own injuries. As for you," Obadiah pointed to Pepper Potts, "I'm not going to be rough with you here, because this is not a good place to do it." But you can choose to cut yourself off after Tony's death. Rest assured, my people will help you. Take her and dispose of it somewhere else. ”

Obadiah waved his hand behind him, and Pepper Potts just screamed in surprise before he was covered in the mouth and dragged out.

"Goodbye, Tony."

Obadiah gave Tony Stark a finger on his forehead, then turned and walked away without hesitation.

……

"Sir, you asked me to spy on Tony, Obadiah brought people into the villa just now, and now he's out, but things are getting a little troublesome. I think Tony needs a little bit of support here. In the darkness in the distance, Coulson looked at Pepper Potts, who had been taken away by Obadia's abnormal state, and picked up the phone in his hand to keep in contact.

"Your mission is to see if Tony Stark is dead or not, on the other side, you don't need to worry." Nick Fury's calm voice came through the microphone, giving Phil Coulson orders.

……

"I've handed the USB drive to Pepper Potts in Obadia's line of sight." Ina Sandra said to Luke after returning to Hyperion Tech.

"Well done." Luke is wearing his prototype at this time, and next to him is a projection of Pepper Pepper Potts being held hostage, with a convoy about to arrive at Stark Industries.

"You deliberately leaked information about the investigation of Obadiah and Stark's secret arms orders, causing Obadiah to be hostile and vigilant, just for today's scene?" Ina Sandra gave Luke a strange look.
