Illusionist in American comics

Chapter 14 Obadiah



"Trash, offal, sewer crawlers!"

"I spent so much money to support you for so many years."

"If this little problem can't be solved, why should I keep you here?"

The rising black mist rose over Obadiah, and then a huge creature appeared in front of everyone.

With a scream of surprise, a killing began until only the last person was left.

"Ahem, the reactor is not stable. The main problem is the core smelting technology."

"This is not something we can solve!"

The last scientific researcher fell to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth and nose dripping on his clothes.

"Then tell me, how should I solve it?"

Squatting down, Obadiah grabbed the opponent's head and asked the opponent to look directly into his eyes.

"Steel, Iron Man, after our observation, his armor uses the most advanced energy technology currently."

"As long as we can get the opponent's armor, our problem can be solved!"

Bang, a crisp sound, Obadiah shook off the dirt in his hands, and at the same time, he remembered the micro-reactor Tony showed him that day.

"Tony!"

Coming to the assembled armor, this murderous weapon is still missing an important component.

That's energy.

However, Obadiah's heavily invested R&D team could not solve this problem at all. Although the armor was successfully developed, it was just an empty shell.

A suit that doesn't move is just garbage.

This was also the reason why he was angry just now.

"It seems I need to go back!"

Gemilla, a backward town on the border, is filled with war and chaos. It is a bitter and cold place that has been forgotten by everyone.

"This is the shipping list from Stan's computer"

"You're right, Tony."

"He is secretly selling arms within the company."

"He was also the one who kidnapped you!"

Tony's home.

Looking at the documents in front of her, Pepper waved her hands randomly and said to Tony anxiously.

On the contrary, after Tony learned the truth, he remained silent and just assembled the reactor in his hands.

As the blue light lit up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is already the thirteenth piece he has tested. In order to strengthen the energy, he has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights. Now that the test is successful, waves of drowsiness urge him to fall asleep as soon as possible.

"Not only did he kidnap me, he even advocated that the board of directors remove me from my position."

"At the same time, he was also involved in the chaos in Gemilla."

"I know all this"

Tony was as panicked as Pepper when he first learned the truth, but he quickly calmed down.

Because he knows that panic cannot solve the problem.

"How's the stock acquisition going?"

Tony already understood why the board of directors had kept silent and only treated him coldly after learning that he had shut down the weapons department.

Thinking about it now, Stan should have given them a promise, which could appease the old guys who couldn't eat enough.

But these people are not monolithic. As you can see from Pepper's gains, Stark Industries' stock is no longer valuable.

"There are some left, Stan has most of them"

Tony's calmness allowed Pepper to calm down gradually and she took out a document and she began to explain.

But Tony didn't watch, just letting Pepper handle it.

Now he only believes in her.

"Stan's matter is not urgent for the time being. It's not time for us to fight back yet."

"Buy the stock first, I need to steer the ship again."

Tony has already planned in his mind the subsequent development of Stark Industries, even far beyond the previous arms, but this is not the time to confess, he needs to wait for an opportunity.

Before going to bed, Tony gave Pepper a contact number and said seriously.

"When you are in danger, call this number and you will double whatever price the other party offers."

"Remember, your safety is more important than anything else!"

"I still need you"

Love words are the most touching stories in the world, and besides, it was Pepper who already felt like belonging. Looking at the person in front of her who got along day and night, she responded in the same way.

"Me too, Tony"

As the two got closer, a smell called love began to spread.

Until there was a cough next to him.

"Ahem, sorry, should I come back later?"

Happy stood there with an embarrassed look on his face. He now wished he had the super power of invisibility.

"Happy, your salary for this month is gone!"

Under the wafting heat, Tony took a sip of coffee. Next to him was Pepper, who was looking at the ID card. As she nodded, Tony spoke.

"So the guy named Barton was on the same team as you last time?"

"What does the Land...Strategy and Security Bureau do?"

Opposite Tony was Colson, who was also drinking coffee. As a well-known model worker in the bureau, he received a new task without any surprise.

And at this time, like Tony, he had two thick dark circles under his eyes that were enough to imitate a panda.

He has been equally busy lately.

"You can also call us SHIELD, this is the new code name"

"It is used to replace the original nickname, but time is a bit tight and the documents have not been released yet."

Coulson gave an explanation and also told the reason for coming this time.

"Mr. Stark, no, Mr. Iron Man"

"I need to ask you a few questions"

"Don't worry, it's not a serious problem."

"I won't ask too much about the origin of your armor. I can even treat it as a high-tech prosthetic limb."

Seeing Tony's eyes becoming wary, Coulson gave a timely explanation. Although the armor was good, SHIELD did not lack such high-tech equipment.

Similarly, the high manufacturing burden and maintenance costs of the armor are not suitable for large organizations like SHIELD.

So this time, Coulson's main target was not the armor.

"Iron Man, I like this name"

"So, what do you want to ask?"

Iron Man is always better than the Tin Woodman. When they meet next time, Tony can loudly tell Jessica that he also has his own title of hero.

"It's very simple. Can you tell me who Dan Chenzi is?"

"?!!"

Tony gave his own answer.

Coulson is a good-tempered person with a natural affinity, so whenever he encounters a negotiation task, this sixth-level agent will take charge.

After completing countless tasks, he also gained the trust of Nick Fury.

"Okay, I got it"

"Thank you Mr. Stark for your cooperation."

"This is my contact information. If you encounter difficulties, you can tell me."

After getting up to say goodbye, Colson decided to go home, take a sauna, and then have a good sleep.

At this time, Pepper had not recovered from Tony's story. Seeing this, Happy took the business card from Colson's hand and prepared to leave with him.

Seeing that the guest had left, Tony waved his hands in front of Pepper's eyes, and then snapped his fingers in the other's ear.

"Oh my God, Tony, didn't you say you were going to the dance that night?"

"Why did you have a dispute with the gang?"

After some questioning, Tony quickly began to explain.

But in the middle of explaining, the door in the distance was opened with a bang, Coulson and Happy were superimposed and thrown over, and the person who caused all this was none other than Obadiah.

"Oh, my little Tony!"

"It seems you already know everything!"

Obadiah first returned to the company, and then discovered that the files in his computer had been stolen. Through surveillance, he discovered that it was Pepper's handiwork.

And Pepper is Tony's most sincere subordinate, so the purpose of stealing the files is already clear.

"Yes, I already know"

"I really didn't expect that this was all your conspiracy."

"Obadiah Stein!"

Tony's questioning was met with several bursts of wild laughter. At this moment, Obadiah's body gradually expanded, and wisps of black mist spread on his face.

"So what if you know?"

"How can you take me?"

"Answer me, Tony!"

His right foot stomped heavily on the ground, and countless cracks instantly filled the entire house. But as several gunshots rang out, Obadiah's movements stopped.

Boom, boom, several bullets fell from Obadiah's body, causing several people to scream in surprise.

"Shet, you participated in the genetic modification project? Why is your skin so thick!"

Protecting Pepper, Tony said loudly while retreating back.

At the same time, he felt that the other party's state was somewhat familiar.

Almost, almost, Tony looked at the suitcase behind him, calculating the distance in his mind.

"Genetic modification? Too low-level"

"I am a gift from God"

Coulson hurriedly reloaded, hoping to stop the opponent's pace, but Obadiah, whose posture had changed drastically, ignored him and Happy and walked slowly towards Tony.

"Orc! You surrendered to Kingpin!"

Step by step back, Tony finally remembered where the familiarity of the other party came from. It was an angry kitten in the night.

"Kingpin? He deserves it too!"

"My power comes from the divine messenger!"

Opening up the blocking long table, Obadiah grabbed Tony with his big hands. He had only one target, and that was the reactor on Tony's chest.

But before he could get closer, Tony had already grasped the modification box behind him.

As a loud sound of assembly came, Tony put on the armor instantly, and then before Obadiah, his hands turned into heavy hammers and hit Obadiah first.

The huge force caused Obadiah to start to retreat. After losing his balance, he fell to the ground.

At this time, an object emitting blue light fell in front of Obadiah. It was the new generation reactor that Tony had just completed.

"not good!"

Tony was about to grab him when he saw this, but Obadiah snorted coldly, and the black mist around his body gradually thickened, and then a heavy sandstorm blew in the room.

After a long time, when the others looked ahead, Obadiah was no longer there.

"trouble"

Tony let go of Pepper in his arms with a heavy look on his face.

At the same time, his quick thinking began to think about the whereabouts of Obadiah and why the other party gained the same power as Kingpin.

While he was thinking, he spoke.

"Happy, protect Pepper"

"Colson, you shouldn't just sit idly by in this game, right?"

"I need your help"

Tony was inspecting the armor as he spoke. Looking at the cracks on the head of the modification hammer, his heart gradually sank.

Obadiah is already so terrifying without the armor. If he gets the armor...

And there is another point worth worrying about, and that is the angel the other party calls.

"I hope it's not the person I thought of"

On the Broadway stage, all the audience watched the performance carefully. There were screams one after another under the gorgeous changes, but at this moment, a bell rang.

Lu Xixian frowned, but still picked it up. At the same time, his other hand kept moving. Two illusory firebirds hovered around him, and the tail flames they raised left tassels.

"Do you think money can solve everything?"

"Isn't it, you greedy guy!"

"Okay, what's the matter?"

"I'm warning you, I won't accept any deal worth less than 300 million."

"I'll give you three times! Come and help me!"

"By the way, I found traces of Dan Chenzi!"

“Be there in a minute”

Bang, the phone shattered and transformed into another flying bird. At this time, Lu Xixian looked at the audience and said.

"It's getting late, I believe everyone is already tired."

"To conclude, I will perform a lost trick for you."

"Everyone, please watch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three circling birds flew straight above, even breaking through the roof of Broadway, revealing the sky outside.

At the same time a golden cloud suddenly appeared.

The sudden appearance of clouds made the audience watch and wonder what kind of trick it was.

"Rope up!"

The long golden rope was taken off from Lu Xixian's waist, and then flew towards the clouds.

When the long rope went straight into the sky, Lu Xixian bowed slightly and held the end of the rope in the eyes of the audience.

Then he got up and climbed up the rope. After just a few ups and downs, he had already entered the clouds.

At this time, Lu Xixian's words also rang in everyone's ears.

"Everyone, have you ever seen a living person transformed?"

Just after he finished speaking, the clouds in the sky had dissipated, leaving only a little firelight.

As the knot fell, Lu Xixian also disappeared.

The audience in the audience looked at the unobstructed sky and the empty stage.

They only have one idea in mind.

“So this is the fastest way to get off work!”

"Well, I learned it!"

Then there was a round of applause.

Only the theater staff looked at the disappearing roof and put on masks of pain.
