I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

While Tony Stark somehow managed to escape alive, it doesn't mean everyone can survive a terrorist attack.

“Obadia Stanislav, you watched me grow up, so I’ve always considered you an uncle who deserves respect.”

"Our cooperation over the years has not been perfectly seamless, but we have each done our part, making Stark Industries stronger and stronger."

"I have not deliberately concealed some of my inventions and plans from you."

"So I've always thought our relationship was pretty good."

"But I never imagined that I would be betrayed by my uncle one day."

Tony Stark sensed the silence in the conference room and looked at Obadiah Stanislav, whose face had turned somber due to the complete exposure of his deeds, and said with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Knowing that Obadiah Stanislav was behind it all, Tony Stark recalled that he had just successfully test-fired a missile and impressed the military, who were interested in purchasing Stark Industries' technology.

Obadiah Stanislav immediately contacted him to inquire about his situation.

It wasn't that I was worried about things not going well, but rather whether he had arrived at the designated military testing base in Afghanistan.

After confirming the information and hanging up the phone, Obadiah Stanislav immediately relayed the news to the Ten Rings, a thought that disgusted Tony Stark.

Then, Tony Stark pressed a button after he finished speaking.

With a loud "bang!", the conference room door was flung open.

The sound of synchronized footsteps approached, and a group of FBI agents led by Colonel Rhodes immediately filed in.

"Click! Click! Click!" All the pistols were pointed at Obadiah Stanislav.

The shareholders on the board were too frightened to move.

“Obadia Stanislav, you colluded with terrorists to betray national intelligence, resulting in the loss of some of the country’s best talents.”

"And you're under arrest for the premeditated murder of Tony Stark."

Colonel Rhodes watched as Obadiah Stanislav declared the other man's crimes.

He is suspected of murdering Obadiah Stanislav, and with his wealth and connections, he is expected to be released from prison.

However, after being charged with colluding with terrorists and allegedly selling state intelligence, Obadiah Stanislav spent the rest of his life in prison.

"I want to make a phone call; there are still these things..."

Obadiah Stanislav stood up, saying he wanted to make a phone call, but his hand had just reached into his pocket.

Colonel Rhodes fired a shot that killed Obadiah Stanislav instantly.

Obadiah Stanislav caused him to lose some of his men and also made him the target of his superiors' wrath.

Terrorists aren't so easy to deal with, but now we know that Obadiah Stanislav was involved in the incident that led to the loss of his brother.

Therefore, Colonel Rhodes did not give Obadiah Stanislav any chance to explain.

"Take it away."

Colonel Rhodes looked at the other shareholders in the conference room, who were trembling with fear, and said coldly.

Two soldiers simply carried Obadiah Stani away.

"Alright, let's continue the meeting."

"Now we need to discuss the future direction of Stark Industries."

Tony Stark, a man who had been to the brutal and ruthless Afghanistan, showed no change in expression at this battle and spoke up.

"..."

Faced with Tony Stark's obvious close ties to the military, none of the shareholders present dared to oppose his opinions.

Chapter 19 I didn't expect you guys to be so poor

The news of Obadiah Stanislav's death was completely covered up and did not spread in New York.

However, Stark Industries' decision to shift its focus to the energy industry was announced.

This news has led many in New York to be pessimistic.

Stark Industries is undoubtedly the leader in the weapons industry, but it is not exactly a leader in the energy industry.

Unless Stark Industries comes up with a revolutionary, advanced energy source, it's impossible for Stark Industries' stock to return to its peak and continue its upward trend.

However, this news also reassured some of the shareholders.

Although it will be difficult to return to its peak, switching to the energy industry should not be a problem for Stark Industries, given its past connections and relationships.

Tony Stark did not immediately announce news about the Arc Reactor, because it was not the right time.

His own armor needs further modification.

Moreover, he also needs to find a way to ensure that the Ark Reactor is truly used in the energy industry, so as to prevent it from being exploited by certain people with ulterior motives.

If things are done well, it won't be difficult for Stark Industries' stock to return to its peak or even rise higher.

After resolving Obadiah Stanislavski's biggest problem, he still has a lot to do.

But there was no longer a rush, so after Tony Stark returned to Stark Estate, he took the initiative to contact Harvey Ambella.

I wanted to share my joy with Harvey Ambellaca and have a chat with him to see if I could get any other information.

"Sir, the other party has refused to listen."

But a moment later, Jarvis's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Tony Stark's head.

Tony Stark realized that the other person wasn't just ignoring him, but outright refusing to listen.

Who is he? He's a notorious playboy in New York and a celebrity in New York's high society. No one has ever dared to refuse to answer his calls since childhood.

"Good heavens, they actually dare not answer my calls."

It really made Tony Stark laugh in exasperation.

"Keep in touch with me."

So Tony Stark continued to have Jarvis contact him.

Anyway, he doesn't have to do it manually; he can bombard Harvey Ambellaca with information at will.

Jarvis made his second call without even needing to report it.

"The number you dialed is currently switched off..."

The appearance of that mechanical female voice silenced even Tony Stark.

"Doesn't he have any other way to contact him?"

After a pause, Tony Stark asked, somewhat unwillingly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Harvey Ambellaca will probably just unplug the landline."

Jarvis responded to this question.

Tony Stark, though frustrated, temporarily gave up on contacting Harvey Ambellaca.

As for going to Harvey Ambellaca's house, that's absolutely impossible.

If he actually went to Harvey Ambellaca's door, wouldn't that mean he was begging Harvey Ambellaca to talk to him?

Jarvis knew Tony's personality, so in addition to remote communication methods such as cell phones and landlines, he also provided other means of communication.

He did not suggest that Tony could drive to Harvey Ambellaca's estate to meet him directly.

"Please contact Pepper for me. I have some questions for her."

Tony Stark gave the order.

Pepper was upstairs watching the news when she heard about Obadiah Stanislav's death.

She also knew that Obadiah Stanislav wanted to murder Tony Stark, so she didn't have much of an opinion on it.

So Pepper quickly received the news and rushed down.

"Pepper, do you know Coulson?"

Tony Stark saw Pepper come down and immediately asked...

"I know, but didn't you say you weren't interested in knowing before?"

Upon hearing the name, Pepper paused for a moment in surprise before asking a question in return.

“I wasn’t interested before, but I am now.”

"What is the scope of responsibility of the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack, and Logistics Agency? Has he told you?"

Tony Stark walked to a chair, lay down, and casually asked.

"Let me think about it, it seems to be a special force established by the International Security Council to deal with all kinds of strange events."

Pepper Potts has a strong memory and excellent motor skills, which is why she became Tony's capable secretary.

"Strange event? Do you have his contact information?"

Upon hearing the scope of responsibility, Tony Stark thought for a moment and then asked.

"I don't know if it will be useful, but I do have his contact information."

Upon hearing this, Pepper nodded and spoke.

“That’s perfect. Could you contact Coulson for me?”

"Tell him I want to meet with him tomorrow at noon to have a chat."

Tony Stark immediately gave instructions upon hearing this.

"I'll give it a try, but I don't know if he's available right now."

Although he didn't understand what Pei Bo was saying, he immediately took out his phone and started making calls.

“Hello, Miss Pepper Potts.”

"What brings you here?"

To Tony Stark and Pepper's surprise, Coulson accepted the offer immediately.

"Mr. Tony would like to meet with you tomorrow at noon to have a chat."

Pepper also explained his thoughts.
