He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 28 Journey to Afghanistan

After scaling the ten-meter-high wall, Li Chuan formed hand seals, transforming into Obadiah Stanislavski, and then strolled towards the villa.

He didn't dodge the patrolling bodyguards on the road. The bodyguards assumed that their boss was out for a walk because he couldn't sleep at night, so they didn't pay much attention.

They walked all the way to the villa entrance, easily using Obadiah's facial recognition to unlock the smart lock and go inside.

In the bedroom on the second floor, looking at the already sleeping Obadiah Stanislav, Li Chuan took out an anesthetic spray and sprayed it on his old face several times, causing him to fall into a coma.

Wrapped in a bed sheet, Li Chuan carried the body downstairs and threw it behind the door. He then waved to a bodyguard patrolling ahead.

"Go get a car from the garage!"

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, but nodded and jogged to the garage.

A moment later, an expensive SUV pulled up in front of Li Chuan.

After letting the bodyguard continue patrolling, he threw Obadiah, who was wrapped in a sheet, into the back seat and drove the SUV openly to the villa's gate.

Upon seeing that the driver was Obadiah, the gatekeeper immediately activated the switch and opened the gate.

"I'll be away for a few days. If anyone comes looking for me, I'll tell them to wait until I get back."

Li Chuan rolled down the car window, gave the gatekeeper an instruction, stepped on the gas, and sped off.

Only Obadiah knew the exact location of the terrorists who kidnapped Tony Stark. No, perhaps even he didn't know, but at least he knew how to contact the leader.

As long as he can get in touch with the leader, he will have a way to find their location.

He had previously considered whether to sneak into Obadiah's villa and Stark Tower while Obadiah was away, in order to find clues about Obadiah's connection with terrorists.

But after thinking about it again, I decided against it.

Infiltrating wasn't the problem; the problem was that he wasn't a computer expert. He probably wouldn't even be able to get past the most basic computer login password.

So he chose a more direct approach: he kidnapped Obadiah and tortured him to extract the information he needed.

Obadiah isn't a Hydra agent, so even if he commits suicide by poison, he won't waste any intelligence. I believe that Li San and his group can make him reveal all his secrets without him even having to lift a finger.

As for whether the kidnapping of a well-known figure like Obadiah would cause a huge uproar, that's for sure. Although it might not be as big as Tony Stark's case, it would still be a sensation.

However, this is not a problem.

Both the bodyguards and the surveillance footage at the villa entrance prove that Obadiah drove away from the villa himself and specifically said that he would not be back for several days.

After a few days, once he had completed the side quest, he would naturally release Obadiah.

At that time, Obadiah will likely face Tony Stark's wrath and legal judgment, and no one will probably care about his kidnapping.

The next day, Li Chuan and Wanda were jogging back from the park near their neighborhood when a voice suddenly called out to him.

"Is this Mr. Li Chuan? Please wait a moment. I'd like to discuss the new regulations regarding parking spaces in the parking lot with you."

Li Chuan turned his head and saw it was Li San. He then said to Wanda beside him:

"Wanda, you go back and make breakfast first, I'll take care of something."

Wanda nodded, without suspecting anything, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and continued jogging towards Building 8.

Once Wanda's figure disappeared, Li Sancai began to report to his superior:

"Obadia has confessed everything, including information about the terrorist organization, their contact details, and the content of their transactions."

Did you tell him why we need to ask him these questions?

Li Chuan wiped the sweat from his hands.

Li San replied:

"We only said we had a grudge against that terrorist organization and wanted to find them; we didn't specifically mention anything related to Tony Stark."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go over after I finish breakfast."

Whether Obadiah knew their purpose or not was actually not very important, and even if he guessed it, so what? If the plan went smoothly, by the time they released him, everything would already be set in stone.

After having breakfast with Wanda at home, Li Chuan did not go to the new company, but instead went to the secret interrogation room in the residential area.

Li Chuan glanced at Obadiah, who was covered in wounds and completely blindfolded, and nodded. He then instructed his computer-savvy subordinates to contact Raza Hamidmi, the leader of the terrorist organization, in Obadiah's name, using the contact information Obadiah had provided.

A moment later, the subordinate looked at the computer and reported to the leader:

"He said that he hadn't mentioned before that his kidnapper was the famous Tony Stark, and that he would have to pay more if he wanted them to kill him."

"Reply to him that I want to see him. If things go well, I'm willing to pay five times the original price and also provide him with Stark Industries' most advanced missiles in the future."

Li Chuan thought for a moment and then gave the instructions.

"Yes, boss."

After typing away for a while, the subordinate replied:

"He agreed. The time is tomorrow morning, the location is outside Baghlan province in Afghanistan."

"Great, it seems I need to talk to Wanda about the business trip."

Li Chuan smiled slightly, then instructed Li San behind him:

"Keep him anesthetized, don't let him wake up, we'll deal with it when I get back."

If Lazar Hamidmi agrees to meet, then the matter is basically 80% settled.

"A new side quest has been added. Please check the panel for details."

Just then, Li Chuan heard the usual mission notification sound in his ear.

Open the panel, click on the side quests tab, and a newly refreshed quest will appear at the top:

Side Quest: Kill Raza Hamidmi, a junior leader of the Ten Rings, and destroy his base in the Afghan desert.

Reward: Two months of Small World time.

"This is really rare; another mission that rewards small world time has been refreshed."

Seeing that the mission reward was actually two months of small world time, Li Chuan was in an even better mood.

There have been quite a few side quests recently, but this is the first time a quest about small-world time has appeared since the completion of the "Settling in New York" quest.

"However, this means the plan to secretly take Tony Stark and Dr. Ethan will have to be changed."

Originally, he planned to knock out Lazar Hamidmi, then use his transformation ability to become his appearance and take Tony Stark and Dr. Ethan away directly, which would be the safest option.

But now, for the sake of the mission rewards, he will have no choice but to go on a killing spree.

After thinking about it, he felt that this was a good idea. At least it would eliminate the root of the problem and prevent any subsequent troubles. It would just require a little more effort.
