Chapter 40 - 40

Nolan made another profit thanks to Tony Stark.

Of course, the money hasn't arrived yet.

But he now holds a significant number of shares in Stark Industries.

This time, Tony Stark saw everything clearly.

When he first found out,

He even went directly to Nolan's Villa.

His triumphant tone was something Nolan had never witnessed in his life.

His words were full of contempt for him.

"If I were you, I definitely couldn't do something like this.

It's a shame you're also a company Boss.

And you hold the title of a genius inventor.

As for now, you just hold onto Stark Industries' shares and wait to make money."

Tony Stark spoke smugly.

Nolan smiled throughout.

"Indeed, although others don't believe you, I still believe in you very much.

As long as you are here, Stark Industries will never fail."

Nolan first offered a compliment.

Then he added:

"Anyway, I still have some money on hand that I don't need, it won't be too late to sell it after your company's stock recovers.

Oh right...

Some time ago, I developed a combat exoskeleton armor that can greatly enhance a person's strength and speed.

I think this will allow me to make a fortune."

Nolan said with a smile.

Tony Stark's face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

Although Nolan's words sounded like he was complimenting him.

But the way he heard it, it was disgusting no matter how he thought about it.

Especially that last sentence, he was showing off, right!

Tony Stark pursed his lips.

He said disdainfully:

"Exoskeleton armor?

Can it compare to my Mark 2?"

Nolan chuckled.

"Of course not, but it can help me make a lot of money."

No matter how Tony Stark mocked him.

Nolan remained calm and composed.

Tony Stark's mindset had changed by now.

From only wanting to make money at first, to now realizing that his previous actions were wrong.

Money, to him, was just a string of numbers.

So seeing Nolan's smiling expression when he mentioned money made him extremely annoyed.

He came in high spirits and left disappointed.

That was the result of Tony Stark's visit.

And now,

The night was deep,

Tony Stark sat in the Villa.

Feeling a bit uneasy.

He didn't want Obadiah Stane to be the one who stabbed him in the back.

But he wasn't sure.

Inside Stark Tower.

Pepper Potts cautiously walked into Obadiah Stane's office.

She checked various data on Obadiah Stane's computer.

Soon, her face turned to shock.

Then she no longer hesitated, took out a USB drive, and prepared to download the data.

This was all evidence!

Her heart was filled with anxiety.

After finally finishing the download, she was just about to leave.

"Pepper, what are you doing here?"

Obadiah Stane's voice sounded.

His face held some confusion.

"Nothing, Tony asked me to get some documents."

She held up the files in her hand.

Obadiah Stane didn't pay much attention.

Pepper Potts pretended everything was normal and left.

As soon as she was out of Obadiah Stane's sight.

She immediately sped up.

On the other side,

Obadiah Stane sat at his desk.

After a while, his face suddenly changed slightly.

His things seemed to have been moved!

Obadiah Stane's face gradually darkened.

A cold light flickered in his eyes.

He wasn't sure if Pepper Potts had gotten the evidence.

But since this was the case, he couldn't wait any longer!

Pepper Potts left Stark Tower and immediately took out her phone.

"Tony, Obadiah Stane has been doing a lot of things behind your back.

I even saw a transaction in Afghanistan!"

Hearing this, Tony's face instantly turned grim.

After hesitating, he spoke solemnly:

"I'll talk to Obadiah first, maybe he has some difficulties."

Pepper Potts's eyes widened, and she almost lost control of the car.

"Tony, are you kidding me!

Obadiah Stane is very likely connected to the rebels who kidnapped you.

He might want to kill you, we should give the evidence to the Police."

Tony Stark didn't speak.

Obadiah Stane was his godfather.

Just like Nolan trusted Charles.

The meaning of the word godfather is far more important than many people imagine.

Tony Stark let out a bitter laugh.

"Nolan Locke's words back then were really accurate.

He once said that Obadiah is very similar to his godfather Charles.

Charles wanted to kill him, and now... Obadiah wants to kill me.

In a sense, we are both unlucky."

After complaining, he said to Pepper Potts:

"Then do as you say, notify the Police, this matter needs to be investigated by the Police.

No, wait...

There is a better option."

He thought of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He hung up the phone.

Tony Stark slumped onto the sofa, his heart tormented.

After a while.

There was a crisp sound.

The Villa door opened.

Obadiah Stane walked in.

Seeing Obadiah Stane, Tony Stark's face showed a hint of joy.

"Obadiah, you came at the right time, I want to have a good talk with you."

Obadiah Stane smiled.

"Coincidentally, I also want to talk to you."

Obadiah Stane walked over to Tony Stark.

Just as he thought there might still be a turn for the better.

Obadiah Stane activated a sonic disruptor.

In an instant, Tony Stark's body became stiff, and he lost control of it.

"Breathe, relax."

Obadiah Stane's calm voice came.

Tony Stark's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Obadiah would actually attack him.

At this moment, he deeply regretted not being prepared.

But regret was meaningless at this time.

"Don't worry, I won't take your life.

I just need to take the Arc Reactor from your chest.

When I wanted to kill you initially, I was very worried about killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

See, you were destined to survive.

You still have to lay the final golden egg."

Saying this, with a click, Obadiah Stane had removed the reactor from Tony Stark's chest.

Without the reactor, he would die!

Watching Obadiah Stane's retreating figure.

Tony Stark's face was filled with despair.

Suddenly, he saw the old reactor.

He wanted to grab it.

This was his only hope of survival!

But at this moment, the distance of just over ten meters felt like a chasm.

During this time, the phone rang several times.

But he could only watch the ringing stop.

He didn't know how long had passed.

He finally touched the glass display case holding the old Arc Reactor and pushed it to the ground.

But...

His vision was already gradually blurring.

His body was completely stiff, unable to even move a finger.

He was going to die!

Just as he was in despair.

A voice sounded.

"Red Queen, try to take control of the Villa!

Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

There was an explosion.

The glass door shattered.

Then, a warm hand grabbed him.

"Yo, Tony, you look pretty rough!"
