Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 812 Obadiah's Ambition

Tony is not stupid. After being kidnapped, besides thinking about how to escape, what he thought about most was how he was kidnapped.

America's business wars are simple and plain. From a small bullet to a large missile, from a sudden car accident to a plane crash, there is nothing they dare not do.

As Tony is a top billionaire and an arms dealer, his own defense is naturally in place. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if his last name is Stark, his father still died in unclear circumstances. So it is impossible for him to have only one fat bodyguard.

Moreover, he was going to the military to demonstrate a new type of missile. Not only was his whereabouts kept secret, he was also followed by fully armed soldiers. Ordinary armed groups would not even be able to figure out where he was, let alone attack him.

In other words, the kidnappers not only need accurate intelligence to track his whereabouts, but also have sufficiently sophisticated equipment. Most importantly, they need to seize the opportunity, because as long as there is a delay, the US military's air support will arrive.

Excluding all impossibilities, no matter how incredible it is, there is only this one answer.

It was just that years of relationship made Tony unwilling to believe it, but he forgot that the business world is like a battlefield. To those capitalists, feelings are just a means, and anyone who believes it is an idiot.

Knowing that the culprit behind his kidnapping was most likely Obadiah, whom he regarded as his uncle, Tony still did not revoke the other party's authority, which resulted in him falling victim to the kidnapping.

However, Obadiah's feelings towards Tony were rather complicated. Therefore, after achieving his goal, he did not shoot the other party's intelligent head, but left directly, which gave him a chance to struggle for survival.

Driven by a strong desire to survive, Tony crawled towards the basement with difficulty, but there was no hope for him to survive.

But this time, before he could climb into the basement, a slime-like thing appeared out of nowhere, passed through the hole in his body, and drilled directly into his body.

Tony looked at his chest, which had returned to normal, and his body, which was in full condition, in confusion. He had no idea what was going on.

But there is no time to worry about these things now. Tony immediately asked Jarvis to modify the Iron Man suit and install the first-generation Ark reactor on it, preparing to go and rescue Pepper and deal with Obadiah by the way.

Before his transformation, Tony didn't think there was anything wrong with inventing or even producing weapons, so he invented Iron Monger and agreed to build a special arsenal. This arsenal was located near New York City, right next to the Richter Company's factory, as if he wanted to suppress the other party.

As an arsenal, it is certainly not enough to just install a few surveillance cameras and hire a few security guards. In fact, the security force here is comparable to that of a small military base. There are not only armored vehicles, but also radars and anti-aircraft missiles. The most important thing is the things produced inside.

So after realizing that there might be something wrong with Obadiah, Tony authorized Pepper to take over the factory, because he knew very well what would happen if the arsenal fell into the hands of the other party.

Unfortunately, Obadiah was more decisive than he thought, causing him to miss the opportunity. Now he can only hope to be the agent who follows Pepper.

As a registered target of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony's every move is monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D., not to mention that he had just been kidnapped and miraculously escaped.

SHIELD was very interested in how he escaped. They also had some guesses about the mastermind behind the kidnapping, but the other party was also a member of the capitalist class. Not to mention arresting him, even the investigation had to be carried out with caution. That was why they chose to follow Pepper Potts in the investigation. Unfortunately, they were one step too late.

Arriving at the arsenal by helicopter, Obadiah's expression was very serious. He went to the main control room immediately. On the way, he grabbed the supervisor who came to greet him.

"Tell the security guards to take out all their weapons. I received news that someone wants to attack the arsenal."

"Ok sir."

The supervisor was not stupid. No matter whether it was true or not, he knew it would be right to obey, so he hurried to make arrangements.

Entering the main control room, he activated the pre-set backup system with a private key to replace the existing system, then activated all defense weapons and cut off external contact. He had a hunch that this matter was not over yet. Obadiah was the assistant of the previous generation of Stark. His familiarity and control over Stark Industries was not comparable to Tony, who was only doing it for a few days and drying his net for a few months. If it weren't for the fact that the other party's brain was irreplaceable, he would have a hundred ways to kick the other party out in various ways. After all, America has never lacked founders who were kicked out by capital.

In fact, in the original destiny, if Tony had not taken out the two trump cards of the Ark Reactor and the Iron Man suit, it would not have been so easy for him to regain power, let alone forcefully push Pepper Potts to the position.

It was because of his familiarity with Stark Industries that Obadiah vaguely realized that there was a huge force hiding behind the scenes, always paying attention to Tony Stark.

This was something Obadiah could not tolerate. He had contributed so much to Stark Industries, but in the end he received less attention and recognition than a playboy!

But this also made Obadiah worried, and ultimately he did not choose to kill Tony directly.

He knew Tony very well and knew that the other party might not die, but it didn't matter anymore. As long as the Ark reactor was successfully copied and he cooperated with Iron Monger, he could build a super military-industrial enterprise and even turn Stark Industries into Stani Industries, thus putting a perfect end to his life.

In order to realize his ambitions, Obadiah needed time, enough time.

"Someone set off the alarm."

Because Obadiah changed the system, the original password was invalid, thus triggering the alarm.

"Kill them!"

Looking at the group of people on the screen, Obadiah's face was gloomy and he gave the order directly.

Pepper is indeed an amazing woman, but it's a pity that without Tony's support behind her, she is just a woman and is not taken seriously by Obadiah at all.

However, when Obadiah saw the middle-aged Mediterranean man and a group of extremely professional armed men beside Pepper, his face became even uglier. Apparently his guess was correct. There was indeed a force that had been secretly paying attention to Stark Industries, no, to Tony Stark.

"Neither of you, father or son, gives me peace of mind!" Obadiah knew that trouble was coming, so he immediately ordered his men to deal with it, and he went to a secret place.

The Iron Overlord made the military very satisfied, because it effectively avoided the situation where the Richter Company with Hans background was the only one in the market. What's more, Obadiah knew how to do business very well. He really gave money when he had it, and gave it in a way that no one could find fault with.

Everything is good except for two shortcomings: one is the battery life and the other is the driver.

The battery backpack cannot be enlarged indefinitely. Although the batteries produced by Richter will not explode or burn, the amount of power they can store is always limited, making it difficult for the Iron Overlord to obtain a battery life that satisfies the military.

Another is the driver issue. I don’t know what the military was thinking, but like classic villains, they performed reconstruction surgery on some injured and disabled soldiers, removed their limbs, installed brain-computer interfaces, and also performed a brain surgery.

Decades ago, any doctor could perform this operation with an ice pick and create well-behaved and obedient "people".

Now they use this surgery to create soldiers who will never betray, will not overthink, and will strictly follow orders 100%.

The military then ordered Obadiah to combine these soldiers with Iron Overlord to eventually obtain a group of real killing machines, and now, the control of this group of killing machines is in Obadiah's hands.

So this time Iron Man is not facing a small BOSS, but a team battle copy.
