A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

……

“You know what, Tony?” Pepper stood before Tony Stark, her face sorrowful yet solemn.

"All I have now is you."

After saying that, he picked up a black USB drive from the table, turned around and left.

"Be careful, Pepper." Tony Stark sighed slightly. Obama had already issued a ban on him, revoking all his privileges. Without force, he couldn't even step through the door.

Besides Little Chili, no one can help him now.

Meanwhile, Pepper Potts arrived at Obadiah's office without any hindrance. The only one who was banned was Tony Stark; Obadiah ignored Pepper Potts, his assistant.

After all, this woman is just Tony Stark's mouthpiece; without Tony Stark, she is nothing.

She carefully pushed open the door to Obadiah's office, and sure enough, there was no one inside. Little Chili breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming, she had asked around and found out that Obadiah hadn't come to the company today.

She tapped the screen, inserted the USB drive Tony had given her, and a moment later, the screen began to flash. All the interfaces that previously required permissions were opened, and confidential files were displayed on the desktop.

This is a small program written by Tony that is used to find and recover deleted data and copy it back.

Tony Stark has been in charge of the Stark Industries for so many years that he is as familiar with this server as he is with his own home; he could bypass the firewall with his eyes closed.

Pepper opened a file containing blueprints and trade information for various weapons. In the next folder, she saw a huge blueprint for a steel armor, even bigger than the one Tony built in the basement.

However, before she could even be shocked, the next file appeared: a video showing a group of Central Asian armed men torturing Tony.

Pepper Potts' pupils suddenly contracted. This was the video of Tony being harmed, and the mastermind behind it all was Obadiah!?

“Agent Coulson, I agree to what you said. All the technology is yours, but I have one condition: give me Stark Industries.”

It's Obadiah's voice, and that Agent Coulson's voice too!

Chili suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Damn it, she had actually talked to Agent Coulson for a long time!

------------

Chapter 206 Tell me, where is Nick Fury?

Plop plop plop!

Little Chili's heart pounded wildly, as if it were in her throat.

It turns out that Tony is not only facing shareholders who are ostracizing him, but also his closest godfather. Moreover, this godfather is colluding with a secret organization that he has never heard of!

Thinking of this, Little Chili felt a chill run through her body, her legs went weak, as if she had fallen into an endless ice hell, seeing no hope, filled with fear and at a loss.

"Ms. Pepper... so, what do we do now?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the office doorway, startling Little Chili.

When she looked up, her heart sank to the bottom. A bald man with misplaced hair was standing at the door looking at her.

Obadiah Stane!

The mastermind behind Tony's kidnapping!

Seeing Pepper sitting at his desk, Obadiah wasn't angry... Actually, he was very angry, but he couldn't show it. His persona was that of a kind and gentle elder, a good-natured person, who had never gotten angry at the company, and who was peaceful and had no ambition.

This persona was very well-established; the entire Stark Group praised him highly, which earned him immense prestige.

Therefore, even though Beth held far more shares than him on the board, the position of chairman still fell to Obadiah.

But this same person, in alliance with Central Asian armed forces and domestic secret organizations, plotted to assassinate Tony and seize the entire company!

Thinking of this, Little Chili became extremely vigilant, fearing that the other party might suddenly reveal their true colors and kill her at any cost.

However, Obadiah ultimately did not do so, partly because of his public persona, and partly because... this office originally belonged to Tony, but has now become his.

“Pepper, as his assistant, I imagine you're conflicted too…”

Obadiah slowly walked to the table to the side, picked up a wine glass and poured himself a drink. He was unhurried, just like an old gentleman who was indifferent to honor or disgrace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Little Chili was overjoyed. Fortunately, the other party did not notice what she was doing. She quietly took a newspaper and covered the side of the computer, obscuring the USB drive that was copying files.

Then, lock the computer desktop.

At that moment, Obadiah slowly approached Pepper with a wine glass in hand. In the nick of time, Obadiah only saw the restored computer desktop and a somewhat reserved Pepper.

Seeing this, Obadiah breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then he thought about it and realized that it made sense; without permission, this woman couldn't even launch the computer desktop.

“I’m glad we pulled him back from the gates of hell, but… he seems like a different person, doesn’t he? Tony is becoming more and more unpredictable.”

“Actually, Tony is a very good person, just a bit unconventional in his way of thinking. As his godfather, I think you'll understand him,” Pepper Potts forced a smile and agreed.

“Of course, I think he’ll get better,” Obadiah said with a smile. “I’ve been with him since he was a child, and I know Tony very well.”

"Thank you for understanding him," Little Chili said, reaching for the newspaper and unplugging the USB drive as she did so.

"I have to go back, Obi."

As she spoke, she slowly walked towards the office door. With the door just a stone's throw away, Little Chili breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she had gotten away with it!

Is that today's newspaper?

At this moment, Obadiah spoke again, and Chili's heart jumped into her throat once more.

"Yes, it's today's newspaper," Little Chili said, trying to remain calm.

"Can I have it? You know I love crossword puzzles."

"Of course." Little Chili handed over the newspaper, subtly holding the small USB drive in her palm.

Then he left the office.

Obadiah held the newspaper, watching her leave. His smile slowly faded. Chili was too reserved, showing a sense of fear. And besides... this newspaper wasn't from today.

Obadiah strode back to his computer, unlocked the screen, and immediately his face darkened; the files that had been accessed were still open.

Regardless of what Pepper did, Pepper already knows everything he did.

Damn it!

Obadiah roared in anger, regretting that he hadn't just killed the woman earlier!

When he ran out to look for Pepper, Pepper had already disappeared.

Obadiah strode back to his office, took an arc reactor from his drawer, and then quickly went to Sector 16 of Stark Industries, where the Iron Monger was stored.

The Arc Reactor was given to Tony. Tony wasn't a mindless person; although he had shut down the Department of Weapons, he had already planned out the next steps. To appease Obadiah, he gave him the Arc Reactor.

But...Obadai said he wanted it all, arms and energy!

Now that everything has been exposed, he must strike first and kill Tony Stark directly, otherwise, once the truth is revealed, he will be the one who dies!

On the other side, Little Chili hurriedly left the building and was about to get into Happy's car when a voice suddenly called out to her.

Miss Pepper!

Chili turned her head and immediately felt a chill run down her spine. It was a man in a suit with a bald head, Agent Coulson, whom she had been chatting happily with a few days ago.

"I have a few more details I'd like to discuss with you."

"Sorry, I don't have time," Little Chili said quickly without even looking at her, and jumped into Happy's car.

"Get back to Marbury immediately, and be quick!"

Happy's expression hardened, and he slammed on the gas pedal, speeding away.

Coulson stood there, stunned. They had a good chat last time, so what was going on today?

He immediately frowned deeply. As a secret agent, he was an expert in micro-expressions. Ms. Pepper's expression just now was clearly one of fear and vigilance, especially the moment she saw him. Her eyes widened and her pupils dilated, which was an expression of extreme fear.

Coulson initially thought he had scared her, but now it seems things are not so simple!

He quickly jumped into his red car parked nearby and followed them.

"Damn it, Happy, he's following us!" Pepper exclaimed.

"I'll shake him off!" Happy said seriously, suddenly turning the steering wheel and driving into another road.

However, Coulson's red convertible continued to follow them.

"Damn it..." Chili's face turned pale. Suddenly, she heard Happy shout, "Damn it, someone's following us again!"

In the rearview mirror, a black convertible followed the red car from a distance, and the driver inside...

"My God... that person has a purple face." Happy was dumbfounded. Unlike Pepper, he had never seen anything that defied his understanding, so seeing the purple person greatly shocked his worldview.

On the other side, although Coulson's attention was focused on Pepper and their car, he quickly noticed the purple man's appearance.

"Damn it, troublemaker."

Coulson's face darkened. He suddenly turned the steering wheel, making a sharp 180-degree turn. At the same time, he took out a mask, put it on, and lifted his suit jacket to cover his entire body.

The Purple Man's ability is controlled by pheromones. Knowing how to isolate the human hormones emitted by him can greatly reduce the effectiveness of his ability.

However, to Coulson's astonishment, the purple man saw him turn around, put on his equipment, but instead of dodging or avoiding him, he accelerated and charged at him.

"Idiot!" Coulson sneered. His vehicle was specially made by the director; it looked like a car, but it was actually a tank shaped like a vehicle.

If you want to die, then I'll give you a hand!

Coulson sneered and stepped on the gas, speeding past.

Bang!

Just as Coulson had predicted, the hood of the Purple Man's car was lifted, and various car parts were smashed and scattered everywhere.

However, before he could even rejoice, suddenly, the purple-haired man shot into the sky, as if he had been launched upwards, flying straight up more than ten meters into the air.

"Shit... what is he going to do?" Coulson looked up at the flying purple man, puzzled.

However, the next second, his expression changed drastically. Suddenly, the purple-clad figure in the air reached behind him with one hand and grabbed a huge pipe.

It's huge, that pipe is really huge!

Domestically produced 120mm man-portable rocket!

Cao Gui sneered. At such close range, there was no need to even aim.

"Shit!" Coulson's expression changed drastically. He slammed his hand on the center of the steering wheel, and several iron clamps suddenly extended from the seat to hold him in place. Then, with a whoosh, the seat pulled him forward towards the front of the car.

Just like a water slide.

This is an escape device; it can actually move not only forward, but also upward and backward.
