Looking at the Mark III armor in front of him, full of mechanical beauty, Rogge suddenly had a bold idea.
In the future, when accepting commissions from Tony, he could ask him to use the Mark series armor as payment.
Although Tony might not always be willing, there's no harm in trying.
"I'll accept the reward, but I'll temporarily store it with you for now. I'll come back to get it in a while!"
Wearing the Mark III requires specialized mechanical devices, which are currently only available at Tony's place, so even if he puts on the Mark III now, he won't be able to take it off after returning to the office.
"Suit yourself, anyway, I've already given you the reward you wanted!"
At this time, Tony was no longer pouring wine into his mouth. After hearing Rogge's suggestion, he began to seriously consider how to regain control of Stark Industries.
Putting on the Mark III and talking to Obadiah is indeed a solution.
But Tony didn't plan to do that.
Obadiah's restriction of his power in the company through the board of directors was a legitimate business tactic, which is why the board members supported him.
Even if he could regain control of the company by threatening Obadiah with the Mark III, such behavior was not something he liked.
He must find Obadiah's weakness to regain control of the company through legitimate means.
Thinking of this, Tony glanced at Rogge, who was admiring the Mark III.
"I have a commission now, and I hope you can accept it. As for the reward, you can name your price!"
Since the Mark III could be a reward, Tony naturally wouldn't care about other things, and said with great generosity.
"If your commission is to have me collect information about Obadiah, then I advise you to give up."
Rogge could be 100% sure that this kind of commission would not pass the system's judgment.
"Why? Aren't you a ninja? Do ninjas pick and choose tasks?"
Tony asked, very puzzled.
"I don't know what other ninjas are like, but I am a ninja with principles, so I don't accept every commission."
Although a commission scroll only costs 1 Ninja Coin, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
There was no need to waste scrolls on commissions that obviously wouldn't pass the system's judgment.
This was the experience he had gained over the past three years with Ninja Coins.
"If you have other tasks in the future, you can contact me again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rogge's figure disappeared in front of Tony and instantly returned to the office.
After receiving the Mark III, the task status in the system was immediately changed to completed.
"Commission content: Fight Tony Stark wearing the Mark III once; Commission status: Completed; Commission reward: 5 Ninja Coins sent!"
After completing Tony's commission, Rogge's number of Ninja Coins also increased from 5 to 10.
But the next second, his number of unspent Ninja Coins returned to 5.
4 commission scrolls, 1 summoning scroll.
When accepting Tony's commission, Rogge used up the last commission scroll. If he wanted to continue accepting commissions, he could only redeem commission scrolls again.
As for the summoning scroll, he planned to use it to store the Mark III in the future.
However, because he hadn't learned the Summoning Technique yet, even if he redeemed the Summoning Scroll now, he could only put the Mark III into the alternate space in the scroll, but he couldn't summon the Mark III from it.
The redemption price of the Summoning Technique was not expensive, only 20 Ninja Coins.
If all went well, he would have enough Ninja Coins to redeem it after accepting another task.
After Rogge left, Tony thought of a suitable candidate, someone who could help him probe Obadiah's weaknesses.
Pepper Potts!
Tony didn't have many people he could trust now, and Pepper was one of them.
Moreover, Pepper's identity destined her to be the most suitable candidate.
"Help me do something. Go to my office and hack into the computer mainframe to retrieve all the recent loading lists. This should work!"
Tony handed Pepper a USB flash drive with a pre-set hacking program without explaining the reason.
"It might be in the administrative documents, if not, it's in the hidden disk. Just look for the one with the smallest number!"
Looking at the USB flash drive in her hand, Pepper asked Tony, "What are you going to do if I get it back?"
"The same old thing, as long as it's a secret transaction, I'll go and stop it, find my weapons and destroy them."
Pepper had seen Tony's appearance when he came back from Gremira last time, so she knew exactly what Tony's so-called 'same old thing' was.
"Tony, you know I'm willing to do anything to help you, but if you mess around like last time, I can't help you."
"I'm not trying to show off to anyone, nor is it for money, nor is it for any contract, it's just that I want to do this, that's all!"
"That's all? Then I quit!"
Pepper smiled bitterly and threw the USB flash drive on the table.
"You've been by my side for so many years. When I made money by destroying others, you were there too. Today I want to save those threatened by my weapons, but you want to leave me?"
Pepper stopped leaving, turned around and said to Tony, "You'll get yourself killed. I don't want to help you hurt yourself!"
"If I didn't have this conviction, I would have died a long time ago."
"Potts, I'm not crazy, I've just finally understood my mission. The voice in my heart tells me that doing this is right."
Pepper slowly walked back to the table and silently picked up the USB flash drive.

In his remodeled private practice room, Rogge was considering how to learn the Chidori Blade on his own.
The Chidori Blade is a nature transformation improved from the Chidori, injecting lightning-attribute chakra into the blade to enhance the blade's lethality.
Rogge learned Chidori a long time ago, but he rarely used it, because he didn't have Sharingan at the time and couldn't exert the strength that Chidori should have.
As for lightning-attribute chakra, it was not a problem for him either.
The problem now is how to add nature transformation to Chidori and attach it to the blade.
The best tool for learning Chidori Blade is Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword.
But the price of that Kusanagi Sword is a bit high, and it's not something he can consider for the time being.
So he could only settle for second best and try it with an ordinary katana first.
If it really doesn't work, then redeem the Kusanagi Sword at that time.
Releasing and condensing chakra was not difficult for Rogge.
But when he tried to attach the lightning-attribute chakra to the katana in his hand, he felt a very obvious resistance.
