Chapter 29 - 29

Looking at those Bloodline Limits and abilities that could be equated with cheating, Rogge sighed helplessly.

All his ninja coins added up to only 25 now, not even enough to exchange for a slightly more advanced ninjutsu, let alone these Bloodline Limits and abilities that casually cost hundreds of ninja coins.

After casually training for a while in his training room, he used Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the office.

Because she didn't understand Rogge's criteria for accepting commissions, Erica had completely recorded the clients and content of the commissions that came to the door in the past few days, and organized them into a detailed document to give to Rogge.

Tony hadn't paid him the commission fee yet, so Rogge couldn't accept other commissions now.

However, in order to pass the time, he still carefully browsed the documents organized by Erica.

The commissions inside were similar to normal private detective commissions, basically some commissions to find people or things, nothing worth noting.

Just when he thought today would also be an uneventful day, the door of the office was pushed open.

The person who pushed the door in was a balding man in his fifties or sixties, with a neatly trimmed goatee on his face, a portly figure, and wearing an expensive custom suit.

Although he maintained a smile on his face, he gave people an invisible pressure.

Just glancing at this man, Rogge recognized his identity.

The man who came in was none other than Obadiah Stane, the mastermind behind Tony's kidnapping.

Obadiah was one of the veterans of Stark Industries. After Howard Stark's accidental death, he was originally the most likely person to become the chairman of Stark Industries.

But unfortunately, the playboy Tony later turned over a new leaf, returned to Stark Industries, inherited his father's position, and showed unparalleled talent for invention.

Since Tony took over Stark Industries, Obadiah has become a supporting character by Tony's side.

Knowing that he could not achieve his ambition through normal means, he began to consider using other means to eliminate Tony, and thus the Tony kidnapping incident occurred.

Although Obadiah hadn't said a word yet, Rogge had already guessed the purpose of his visit.

If there were no accidents, Obadiah's purpose this time must be to inquire how Tony escaped from the Ten Rings Gang.

Of course, Obadiah couldn't simply and directly ask this question, but he would definitely bring up this matter in a roundabout way.

This can be easily deduced from the fact that Obadiah didn't even bring his secretary or driver.

As Rogge expected, after entering the office, Obadiah's face showed an incomparably grateful look. He quickly came to him and said in an incomparably sincere tone: "You are Mr. Rogge, right? I'm really grateful to you. If it weren't for you, Tony might have..."

Obadiah didn't continue, if you only looked at his current expression, most people would think that he really came to thank Rogge.

But Rogge knew very well that Obadiah would not have the slightest gratitude towards him, and might even have the intention of taking out a pistol and shooting him.

"I just did it to complete the commission, you don't need to be so polite."

Rogge's tone was very calm, as if he didn't have any emotions.

Even so, Obadiah still had that incomparably grateful look, and sat down in the chair in front of Rogge.

If it weren't to find out how Tony escaped from the hands of the Ten Rings Gang terrorists, Obadiah would never have dealt with a private detective with no status like Rogge.

On the day Tony returned to New York, Obadiah specifically sent someone to Afghanistan to find out what happened.

But unfortunately, when his people spent a lot of effort in Afghanistan to find the cave where Raza and others were stationed, all they saw was a pile of corpses and a mess of a battlefield.

Although they didn't find the answer they wanted, they eventually found a destroyed Iron Man suit in the cave where Raza died.

When Obadiah saw the destroyed Mark I in his secret warehouse, he immediately realized that this was a groundbreaking weapon created by Tony himself.

After the wreckage of the Mark I was sent back to New York, Obadiah sent people to start a reverse engineering project, trying to restore and upgrade the Mark I.

However, just as Obadiah's engineers were enthusiastically carrying out the reverse engineering of the Mark I, his subordinates, who were arranged to monitor Tony's whereabouts, reported a message to him.

Tony went to see a private detective, and even brought the private detective back to the seaside villa.

As an old fox who had been in the business world for decades, Obadiah immediately realized that this private detective was the key figure in rescuing Tony.

If it weren't for this, then the Mark I built by Tony would not have appeared in the cave where Raza died, and it was deliberately destroyed.

Originally, Obadiah had planned to visit Rogge a few days ago.

However, before visiting, he asked his people to investigate Rogge's past.

As a result, the investigation took several days.

After the investigation, Obadiah became more and more certain that Rogge was the person who rescued Tony, so he came to Rogge's office alone today.

Although he was the only one who entered the office, his more than a dozen bodyguards were nearby at this time. If something happened to him, his bodyguards would come to the office as soon as possible to take him away.

"No matter what, you are the one who rescued Tony, so as Tony's elder, I must express my gratitude!"

After saying that, Obadiah took out his checkbook from the pocket inside his suit, quickly wrote it out, and then put the check in front of Rogge.

Ten million US dollars!

As expected of a rich man, the way to express gratitude is simple and rude.

Although Rogge didn't like Obadiah very much, he still accepted the check, and then casually threw the check, which could be cashed for ten million US dollars at any time, into the drawer of his desk.

"I accept your gratitude!"

After Rogge accepted the check, Obadiah chatted with Rogge for more than ten minutes, and then brought up the matter in Afghanistan in a roundabout way.

Rogge actively omitted some of the information, and then told Obadiah a story that was half true and half false.

Combining the scars on the Mark I and the information brought back by his subordinates, Obadiah reconstructed the scene at that time with his brain.

"An outstanding talent like Mr. Rogge is too wasted staying in this kind of place! If you don't mind, Stark Group currently has a vacancy for a security director. The salary is no less than ten million US dollars per year. I wonder if Mr. Rogge is interested?"
