Chapter 30 Foolish Obadiah

Chapter 30 Foolish Obadiah

Obadiah, on the other end of the phone, would have never imagined that Leon was sitting on Tony's computer desk, chatting with him right in front of Tony.

And Leon was even mocking Tony while Tony was present.

Who could have imagined such a scenario?

"I agree to the deal. Bring it to me," Obadiah finally relented, bidding $100 million and asking Leon to deliver the Ark reactor into his's hands.

In the end, Leon laughed, saying, "That's impossible. You have to get it yourself. You know I'm just a bodyguard, and I can't enter his studio."

On the opposite side, Tony shrugged, leaving Potts speechless. How could this person speak such nonsense with her eyes wide open and mouth agape?

"Aren't you sitting right here now?" Tony questioned.

But Obadiah believed it, because he himself couldn't enter the studio without Tony's permission.

There were only a few individuals who could freely enter and exit Tony's studio, and Pepper Potts was one of them, demonstrating her significance in Tony's life.

"Then what can you offer me?" Obadiah asked Leon.

Leon responded without hesitation, "I will definitely help you obtain what you want. For instance, you can hold a company party, and I will keep an eye on Tony's movements. You can then come in and take what you desire."

Obadiah laughed angrily, "So, it'll cost me $100 million for this?"

"You don't have to agree, and I can also imply that Tony safeguards his valuable possessions well. Moreover, I know what you ultimately aim to achieve. Compared to what you'll gain by defeating Tony, what is a hundred million dollars?" Leon declared with the confidence of a lion.

Well, it may be a hundred million dollars, but did he think it was merely a dollar?

What's the worth? Undoubtedly, it holds significant value.

Even Tony shook his head.

Obadiah was about to suffer a substantial financial blow, and it would be a deep pit of loss.

This guy had already prepared an inferior Ark reactor, eagerly awaiting Obadiah to willingly jump into this bottomless abyss.

However, Tony had no intention of stopping it, as he already knew Obadiah was the traitor and intended to eliminate him.

Now, he was simply waiting for Obadiah to reveal his true colors. If that happened, Tony was mentally prepared to confront him.

Obadiah fell into silence, contemplating whether the deal was worth it.

Leon didn't rush him, but sat there patiently, waiting in silence.

Pepper Potts remained oblivious to the situation, too afraid to speak up. She stood faithfully by Tony's side, unaware of what was happening.

Finally, Obadiah spoke, "How can you convince me that this deal is worthwhile?"

This indicated that he still didn't believe it was worth it. Unless Leon personally delivered the items to him, he would be spending $100 million to have Leon provide reports, only to steal the items himself in the end.

What a disgrace this would be!

But he didn't believe it was worth it at all. Leon spoke, "Why do you think you have a choice? You've witnessed Tony's immense power, and the whole world has seen the might of the Iron Man suit. Once Tony reveals his identity, do you really think you stand a chance? You'll be at his mercy. And once he finds out about your previous ambush and your deal with the Ten Rings, do you think he'll spare you? Tony has seen the weapons you've sold to the Ten Rings."

Obadiah still wanted to argue, saying, "You're just making assumptions."

Leon laughed heartily, saying, "Brother, are you still trying to deceive me? No need for that. I already suspected you were the one behind the previous tricks, that you were plotting to have someone kill Tony. But Were you colluding with the Ten Rings? I don't know yet."

Pepper Potts was on the verge of shouting when she opened her mouth.

Fortunately, Tony was prepared. He embraced Pepper Potts, covered her mouth with his hand, and slowly shook his head.

Only then did Pepper realize that Obadiah was behind Tony's attack. He was the mastermind.

But Pepper knew that Obadiah was not only one of the founders of Stark Industries but also one of the largest shareholders. He was Howard's friend, mentor, and Tony's trusted companion.

How could this be?

She couldn't believe that Obadiah would be capable of such treachery. It shocked her to the core. Revealing this would undoubtedly raise suspicion and jeopardize Leon's plan.

Leon glanced at Pepper Potts, but he paid no attention to her. With his stature and previous position, he wouldn't bother with a mere girl, especially when speaking in front of others.

Indeed, if Pepper Potts were his subordinate, he would have dismissed her long ago, regardless of her gender. He was known for his strict discipline.

That's why his 100,000 subordinates were willing to follow him to the death, defending their families and the country.

Only a strict leader could inspire loyalty to the point of sacrificing one's life. They must possess charismatic qualities, act with fairness and justice, and strictness alone is not enough.

Leon glanced at Tony, his eyes filled with reproach, but he didn't waste any time and continued conversing with Obadiah.

Obadiah was suspicious, saying, "Are you saying Tony will willingly reveal himself as Iron Man?"

Leon shook his head and reminded him, "Didn't I already call him Iron Man on TV? Tony seems quite pleased with that title, and some people even consider him a superhero. Do you think he's just arrogant? Don't you like the character of Iron Man?"

After hearing this, Obadiah had nothing to say.

If Leon said anything else, Obadiah still wouldn't believe it, but Obadiah was well aware of Tony's character. That man would indeed willingly reveal his identity on TV because of the title of Iron Man and the opportunity to become a superhero. Iron Man is out there.

No, it's Iron Man, as the media already refers to him.

There's even a talk show where guests try to guess Iron Man's identity.

Some claim Iron Man must be from a very powerful country, as only they could be so exceptional.

Leon thought to himself that at least under his guidance, Iron Man had gotten back on the right track.

Otherwise, Iron Man would be dead, and Tony would still be a playboy.

"I've said it. Do you really want to miss this opportunity? Or do you believe you still have a choice?" Leon grew slightly impatient, sneering as he continued, "Fine then. It seems I'll have to turn to Tony for support. You can go to jail, and I'll gladly watch Tony take over all your shares and turn the company into the Stark family business."

This remark struck a nerve. What bothered Obadiah the most was that he and Howard had founded this company together, so why was it called Stark Industries?

"Wait a moment..."
