"Bai Ye, something seems to have happened to your good friend Tony Stark!?"

"What!?"

Bai Ye's eyes widened immediately, and with a slightly exaggerated expression, he said:

"What happened?"

"The newspaper seems to say that Tony Stark's convoy in Afghanistan was attacked and his whereabouts are unknown. The U.S. military in Afghanistan is doing its best to search and rescue him."

Ikana was also shocked.

Because this feeling is like you heard that Teacher Ma was suddenly kidnapped.

The world’s richest man, the chairman of Stark Group, just... disappeared?

"What? Who is so bold as to chop down my sworn brother Bobby... Ahem, Tony!?"

Bai Ye had an indescribable sadness on his face, and he took out a tissue to wipe away his tears:

"I'm going to kill their whole family, you bastard."

Ikana looked at Bai Ye's performance and felt something strange...

Is it because Bai Ye is too sad that he is unable to express normal emotions?

"Ikana, I'm so angry now!"

Ikana: “…”

……

Afghanistan.

night.

Tony stared at the fire, lost in thought, without saying a word.

"The U.S. military must be looking for you everywhere now, Stark."

Ethan and Tony sat opposite each other:

"But this is in the mountains. They can't find you. Everything you saw before is your legacy, Stark. Your life's work has fallen into the hands of those terrorists. Do you want to die like this? Is this the last resistance of the great Tony Stark?"

"Or do you want to think of a way..."

"Why should I do anything?" Tony suddenly said, "They will kill you anyway. They will kill me. Even if they don't, I probably won't live for more than a week."

"So, this week is crucial for you, right?"

Tony's pupils suddenly dilated.

Yes, he is the smartest man in the world, Tony Stark. After a week of thinking, can't he find a way to survive?

late at night.

Tony was lying on the hard bed in the cave, his mind full of random thoughts, the weapons of the Stark Group, the terrorists, the innocent people who died tragically...

He is the most powerful arms dealer in history. No country at war can resist the temptation of his boastful words. In fact, his weapons are absolutely powerful weapons of war, with 360-degree attack capability.

As a successful arms dealer, he enjoys the honor brought by money. Of course, his private life is also extremely luxurious. He lives in an independent sea view villa, drives luxury cars, and is surrounded by beautiful women.

He made weapons, originally thinking they were only used to defend America and protect the peace of the entire world. Now he realizes that weapons are just weapons, and they are used to kill people.

How cruel war is!

No matter how powerful a weapon is, it will only cause killing in the hands of bad people!

He suddenly had an epiphany:

I have never done any good deeds in my life, I only love oil and arms. Now the news of the Hermand tide has come, and today I know who I am!

Chapter 83 Think about basketball and chicken together

"Ikana, do you know how sad I am right now?" Bai Ye pulled up his pants and said with a sad face, "Tony's incident came too suddenly. I need to calm down."

"OK……"

Ikana didn't know what to say, so she swallowed the phlegm stuck in her throat and spoke quickly.

Bai Ye and Tony are the twin stars of the empire, both are famous seven-star whores. Of course, she has heard that Bai Ye and Tony have a very good relationship. Now that Tony's life or death is unknown, it is understandable that Bai Ye is in a heavy mood.

She had just tried her best to comfort Bai Ye, and even felt that she had touched the depths of Bai Ye's soul. But with this kind of thing, it would be useless to rely on others' persuasion. It still depends on Bai Ye himself to get out of it.

Ever since.

Bai Ye dressed up and walked out of the house.

Ikana looked at the white millet porridge on the table at a loss, and suddenly felt a little nauseous. She quickly covered her mouth and went to the bathroom to retch.

……

"Haha, using Tony to trick them into sympathizing, this trick works pretty well." After Bai Ye walked out of the house, where was the sad expression on his face? He was almost happy: "I just tried it on Ikana, and I'll try it on someone else."

"Tony, Tony, you are truly my dearest friend, my dearest brother. Not only have you helped me earn billions of dollars, but you have also helped me unlock more knowledge... I don't know how to thank you enough."

Bai Ye sighed.

"Don't worry, in order to repay you, I will make the mastermind behind your plot pay a heavy price!"

"I blackmailed Obadi severely and asked him to pay more."

【Tony: “…”】

[You really are my good brother! ]

Bai Ye called Obadi:

"Old man, have you collected the $20 billion in bearer bonds I asked you to collect?"

Stark Group, Office of the Vice President.

When Obadi received Bai Ye's call and heard that familiar voice, his expression became slightly distorted, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his voice:

"I got it."

To be honest, the previous $10 billion was easy to raise, but the $20 billion is really hard to raise.

His net worth is limited, and most of it is real estate. Where does he get so much cash?

But he really didn't want to spend the rest of his life in jail. Plus, he wanted to use the $20 billion to lure Bai Ye out again and completely resolve the hidden danger, so he really used all the means to make money.

He mortgaged almost all of the Stark Group stocks that he regarded as his lifeblood, borrowed money from various acquaintances, paid high interest, and even borrowed money from underground banks. It was really not easy to finally raise the 20 billion US dollars.

Bai Ye said with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that you are really rich, then..."

"But why should I give you the money now?" Obadi said coldly, "Before, Tony Stark was still alive, and I was afraid that you would disturb my plan, so I paid that fee. But now Tony Stark is dead, and the dead are worthless. Who would embarrass me, the chairman of the world's most powerful military-industrial group, for a dead person and some emails, videos, and phone calls that are edited with technology and whose sources are unclear?"

Bai Ye was stunned.

Come to think of it, if Tony was dead, the threat posed by the evidence in his hands to Obadi would be greatly reduced.

Because the dead can't speak.

The Stark Group has a close network of relationships with the White House, the Pentagon, and Capitol Hill, but this is the Stark Group's network of relationships, not Tony's personal network of relationships. Once he dies, these things will automatically fall on Obadiah.

In his former personal network, it seemed that apart from Colonel Rhodes, there was almost no one who could speak up for Tony, and the truth about his death must be uncovered.

——All of Pepper Potts' power is based on the fact that she is Tony's secretary. Once Tony is gone, she will instantly become a white-collar worker with no value. By then, no one will care even if Obadiah turns her into a RBQ.

"Haha, old man, are you quick to react?" Bai Ye sneered and said, "But I don't know whether to say you are smart or stupid. If you are stupid, you can fool Tony, the smartest man in the world, and have been with him for more than 30 years, but he didn't realize that you have deep hatred for the Stark family. But if you are smart, you actually found a group of terrorists to kill Tony. Who do you think has a higher moral standard, the terrorists or me?"

Obadi's face changed.

He was originally just bargaining with Bai Ye to see if he could get more information, but after hearing what Bai Ye said, he immediately felt something was wrong.

Bai Ye did not hesitate to expose Obadi's fragile sense of security:

"Although I smoke, drink, fight, fuck girls, and even blackmail you, I still consider myself a good person because I can sing, dance, play basketball, and rap... ahem, in short, you should believe that my character is definitely a little bit better than that of terrorists. Even after I knew about your plan to assassinate Tony Stark, I wanted to use this matter to blackmail you, so why did you stupidly think that the terrorists would listen to you and kill Tony Stark directly and earn the $2000 million reward you gave them, instead of holding Tony Stark hostage and extorting more money from you?"

“2000 million US dollars and 20 billion US dollars, is this choice difficult?”

Obadi's expression suddenly turned very ugly. He now really realized that his jealousy towards Tony had blinded him.

Yes, why was I so stupid as to think that the credibility of terrorists was trustworthy?

It is very likely that things went as Bai Ye said. The terrorists simply captured Tony and continued to extort money from him, instead of directly killing Tony, the hen that lays golden eggs, to make a quick buck.

Obadi is very sad now.

Bai Ye's extortion alone was enough to make him run around in a hurry and even have to borrow money from loan sharks. What would he do if the Ten Commandments Gang came to extort him again?

I, a delicate flower, cannot bear the wanton ravages of you two brothers.

"You should have figured it out now, right?" Bai Ye chuckled and said, "Do you think I can't do anything to you now that Tony is dead? Don't be so naive, old man!"

"Since both of you want to blackmail me and want me dead, then I might as well drag you to hell with me. Why should I give you money?"

Obadi panted and roared in anger.

"Don't be anxious. You just can't keep your cool. No wonder you can't beat Tony Stark and have to use physical elimination to kill him!" Bai Ye said earnestly, "Although I and those terrorists may blackmail you, I am different from them after all, because I am virtual on the Internet. You can't control me. You don't know my name, appearance, residence, email address, and you know nothing about me. Terrorists are real entities. You have had many transactions with them and know them very well. You can completely eliminate them, but you can't eliminate me. Do you understand?"

Obadi's heart moved, and he felt that this blackmailer was something special.

"You can just plot against them when you're doing business with them. Use your own action team to physically eliminate them. It's an easy solution!"

"That's easy to say," Obadi retorted. "The terrorist leader is not a fool. How could he come to trade with me in person and give me the opportunity to capture them all when he holds Tony Stark hostage?"

"The leader of the terrorists may not be a fool, but he is illiterate!" Bai Ye said angrily, "Even if they are prepared, it is not easy for you, the president of Stark Group, to deal with those uneducated idiots. If you want to trick them, just install some positioning chips on the weapons you traded with them. When they return to their lair, you can immediately call the US military in Afghanistan and launch a few firecrackers. Wouldn't everything be solved then?"

Truth is everywhere within the range, and justice is wherever the shells go.

In the face of danger, everything is fair and just; under a nuclear explosion, all beings are equal.

Obadi thought about it and decided that what the hacker said was a good suggestion.

"Hehe, do you think I'm right?" Bai Ye laughed and said, "What era is it now? You have to rely on your brain to make a living. I hate those terrorists the most. They have no technical skills at all! High-IQ technology crimes are the future of the criminal world! Obadi, you can't control people like me, so how can you control a few terrorists?"

Your suggestion is very good, but unfortunately, he will be mine the next second.

Obadi decided to give it a try according to Bai Ye's suggestion.

For terrorists, betrayal is easier than eating and drinking. It is estimated that Tony is not really dead... Well, if he were the leader of the terrorists, he probably would not be willing to kill Tony directly.

No one is a fool. There are so many things that can be done with Tony's identity.

"How can you make me believe that after you take the money this time, you won't blackmail me again?"

Obadi said coldly again.

"Why do we have to go through this process again?" Bai Ye was helpless and said, "Okay, let me tell you again, if you don't give me the money, I will immediately send the evidence in my hand to Tony Stark's best friend Colonel Rhodes, his secretary Miss Pepper Potts, his good whore friend the eldest son of the Osborn family, the artificial intelligence Jarvis he created, and even the conversation we just had. I have recorded it and I will send a copy to the terrorists of the Ten Rings Gang. Just tell me whether you should pay the money or not?"

Obadi almost vomited blood.

Cheating!

This bastard has really investigated Tony Stark thoroughly. Colonel Rhodes is a rising star in the American military and has a close relationship with Tony. He is not someone who can be easily dealt with. Once Colonel Rhodes gets the evidence that he assassinated Tony, he will probably fight him to the death.

Pepper Potts... no big deal, no need to talk about it.

The guy from the Osborn family is just Tony's drinking buddy. He's a piece of trash and nothing to be feared.

Artificial intelligence Jarvis is very scary. He can't figure out what kind of restrictions Tony has placed on Jarvis, and what changes will happen to Jarvis after Tony's death. But he certainly understands that if Jarvis goes crazy... destroying the world is not impossible - when Jarvis confronted Ultron, he showed the ability to easily invade the nuclear missile launch systems of various countries and change nuclear codes at will.

As for Bai Ye sending the conversation just now to terrorists, it is also a scary thing, because the other party are a group of real lunatics who don't care about their lives. Maybe if the other party knows about it, they will broadcast it live and give him a plane.

"Besides..." Bai Ye warned earnestly, "Even if you don't believe in my integrity, you should believe in my strength. I have already investigated clearly. Once you give me the 20 billion US dollars, your funds will basically be squeezed dry by me. There will be no more money to be squeezed out. It will be useless for me to blackmail you. On the contrary, it will force you to do something desperate. Why do you want to do this? I can't do such a thing as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."

Obadi snorted in his heart, but agreed that Bai Ye's words made some sense.

"In the future, you will be in charge of Stark Group, the world's most powerful military-industrial group. Maybe we will have a chance to cooperate." Bai Ye continued to deceive: "If I can make a friend like you, I will gain more than making friends with the owner of the White House..."

Obadi felt a little flattered by Bai Ye's flattery. I didn't expect that even these cyber terrorists who blackmailed me knew the great power I would soon gain. It would be great to be the chairman of Stark Group.

"Okay, no more nonsense." Bai Ye stopped talking abruptly, his tone changing from enthusiastic to indifferent in an instant: "Transaction at the Empire State Building. I'll call you when you arrive."

Obadi was enjoying the flattery, but he didn't expect Bai Ye to kick him down from the clouds to the ground, leaving him lying on the ground. After hearing Bai Ye's words, he snorted coldly:

"understood."

This feeling is like when you are halfway through a massage and the FBI suddenly bursts in with a warning, leaving you stuck in between.

Following Bai Ye's instructions, Obadi came to the Empire State Building at 350 Fifth Avenue, between West 33rd and West 34th Streets in Manhattan.

He had just arrived when he received a call from Bai Ye.

Obadi looked out the window:
