Chapter 20 Obadiah takes the bait

In fact, Leon did cheat. He took advantage of knowing the plot in advance and used some specious words to deceive Obadiah.

Is there any evidence to prove his guilt?

There is none, unless the boss of those people in the desert is caught and confesses.

However, Leon's words were not aimless. Only Obadiah knew in his heart that he led the previous traps and attacks.

This way, the guilty person will take the bait.

Obadiah had no confidence, thinking that Leon and Tony knew something and had a plan to deal with him.

This set of drawings is proof that if Tony develops new concepts, new era weapons, and even new energy sources, he has every right to expel Obadiah from the board.

Then Tony would have countless opportunities and time to investigate what went wrong with Obadiah at the company.

For Obadiah, he has no choice.

"How can I trust you?" Obadiah asked Leon. "Why should I trust Tony's bodyguard?"

Leon pointed his finger at the blueprint on the table. "Dude, I brought you this thing from Tony. What do you think?"

"But there's nothing about the core here," Obadiah snorted. He had seen it before. The drawings of this armor are easy to understand, but how to drive it?

It can't be gasoline, can it?

The reason why he believed Leon's nonsense was precisely that he needed a new concept of energy in a new era to activate this armor. The old models were not enough.

Battery? What kind of battery would he need?

Fuel? Less likely.

So Obadiah knew very well that Leon was hiding the most important core secret.

Only when he got this, would he believe Leon's words and take action.

Otherwise, he was not a fool, he was a cunning fox.

Unexpectedly, Leon didn't mind and told him the core secret.

"It's very simple. As long as the big thing downstairs can be reduced and researched, the energy of the Arc reactor is enough to drive this armored battle suit. I can even remind you that this battle suit is only the most basic. It can be developed further. For example, the armor thickness and power tonnage can be increased, and the most advanced weapons can be carried, and so on," Leon didn't hide anything but really shared everything.

However, what he shared wholeheartedly was the original design of Iron Monger.

Obadiah was the designer of Iron Monger. After listening to Leon's suggestion, he couldn't help nodding secretly, feeling very agreeable.

But when it came to the Arc reactor, Obadiah hesitated.

"Are you sure that the Big thing can really be used?" Obadiah showed a hesitant expression. "That thing was made by Howard 30 years ago and has not been touched for 30 years. It's just for outsiders to see."

He was right. That large Ark reactor was only used as a façade. To outsiders, we were not only weapons dealers, but also developing other technologies. However, in reality, we have not used the Ark reactor to develop anything for 30 years.

Today, Leon brought news that the Ark reactor is a new energy source that can power the steel battle suit in the new era. "You're really holding a golden rice bowl and still begging for food," Leon said, feeling speechless.

From a more advanced perspective, if a whole new energy system is developed around the Ark reactor, it can directly overpower the world's energy system and even control global energy. This is more profitable than selling anything. Still thinking of selling weapons? That's too stupid.

But Leon also doesn't want to use the knowledge he gained on Krypton to change the Earth or become a so-called pioneer. "Are you sure I can beat Tony?" Obadiah asked, revealing that he was actually trying to beat Tony's ambitions.

Leon shrugged. Unfortunately, he didn't bring a tape recorder, but that doesn't matter. "Tony is a genius, and he's constantly improving the battle suit. That's why I remind you, if you build an armored battle suit that's stronger and more defensive than his, won't you be sure to win?" Leon said insincerely, trying to lead Obadiah astray.

If only strength and tonnage could determine the outcome, why would Tony bother with an advanced version of armor and only develop a big guy with a height of tens of meters? The bigger the guy, the bulkier it is. What's the point of having a big suit if you can't even touch the enemy? Leon intentionally led Obadiah in the direction of Iron Monger, knowing that it was destined to fail.

"Let's go," Leon stood up, having said what he needed to say. Obadiah watched Leon leave with a hint of hesitation in his heart.

Before leaving, Leon reminded Obadiah: "By the way, my salary card has been completed. Don't forget to pay." Obadiah's heart suddenly sank.

They say people die for money, and birds die for food. Leon's greed for money is vividly displayed. If he betrayed Tony for money, it wouldn't be unbelievable. The most important thing is that Leon brought Obadiah the thing that Tony was researching and news that Tony suspected him.

If Leon was Tony's man, he shouldn't have done these things. He should have secretly investigated Obadiah and even stolen data from his computer. But Leon didn't do that. Instead, he acted like a real betrayer, stealing important things and bringing them to Obadiah in exchange for a reward.

Obadiah had seen too many similar things and did not feel suspicious. He was thinking about how to get ahead and create a new era of powerful individuals before Tony.

"Tony, I'll make sure you die this time," Obadiah said with a smug look.

Meanwhile, Leon was walking away with a sneer on his face.

Obadiah, oh Obadiah, all of his words before had been true because he knew the plan. But Leon couldn't produce any evidence to support his claims, so he needed Obadiah to act. Only then could he prove that he was right. Obadiah was the villain.

Obadiah's vision was not broad enough to understand that, although Leon was on Tony's side, he didn't mind helping Obadiah develop the Iron Monger. So what? If Obadiah could take the initiative to jump out of the water, it would be nothing at all.

Obadiah would never have thought that Leon had asked Tony to print out and hand over incriminating evidence. He wouldn't understand until he died.
