Chapter 14 Obadiah: I’m up early eight? (Ch 14)

…

The outdoor bar on the top floor of the hotel.

Today it is open only to Obadiah and his invited guests.

When Leon and Tony arrived, Obadiah had been waiting there for a long time.

The day lilies were cold, but Obadiah seemed to have expected this and ordered some of Tony and Leon’s favorite cold dishes and desserts.

The candlelight on the dining table swayed in the breeze, illuminating Obadiah’s bald old face, which seemed to be smiling.

“Hey, Tony, Leon, my good boys, you have kept an old man like me waiting for a long time.”

Seeing Tony and Leon arrive, Obadiah greeted them familiarly.

“There’s nothing I can do. Who told me to be so persistent?” Leon joked with a smile.

Tony picked up an apple from the decorative fruit bowl and took a bite, then continued Leon’s words: “Obi, you really should have asked a few young models to wait for us with you.”

“Oh, please, I’m so old, please spare me. I still want to live a few more years.” After Obadiah gave Leon a warm hug, he patted Tony’s shoulder.

“That’s true.”

“If you can live, who wouldn’t want to live a few more years?”

Leon spread his hands.

“Hurry up and sit down. I ordered all your favorite dishes.”

Obadiah greeted them warmly: “Thank God for sending you back to me. Since Howard and Maria (Tony and Leon’s mother) died unexpectedly, you are all I have left.”

“Haha, we should thank God indeed.”

“Where’s Pepper? Why isn’t she with you?”

“Something happened suddenly. You know she is always busy.”

“It doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that you two brothers are here.”

The three of them sat around the white round table lit with candles, just like an ordinary family gathering.

“Ah~”

Leon couldn’t wait to pick up the knife, cut a small piece of cold roasted steak, and put it into his mouth with a silver fork.

But after chewing it twice, he suddenly stopped moving.

“What’s wrong?”

“Not to your taste?”

Obadiah, who had been watching the two brothers eat, noticed Leon’s abnormality at the first moment and asked with concern.

“No.”

“Because it’s so delicious, it feels like a strong aftertaste!”

After Leon simply replied, he seemed to be starving and swept all the food on the table into his stomach like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves.

Even Tony was not spared.

This situation.

Tony and Obadiah, who hadn’t said a word yet, were stunned.

“Hiccup~”

“!!!”

After a satisfied burp, Leon’s eyes suddenly widened, and he clutched his neck tightly with both hands, foaming at the mouth as if he was poisoned.

Then his eyes rolled up, his head fell on the round table, and there was no movement after that.

“Leon? Leon!”

“Obi, this dish of yours… uh! There’s… poison…”

It took only 2.5 seconds for Leon to be poisoned and “die”. Tony had no time to react at all. When he realized that the food was poisonous, Leon seemed beyond saving.

He was about to turn around and question Obadiah.

Buzz——

Obadiah was seen holding a small prop that looked like a vibrator switch, and infrasound waves of a specific frequency were released. Veins on Tony’s neck suddenly popped up, and he was paralyzed in an instant, losing the ability to resist.

“What a greedy boy.”

“You could have walked so easily, Tony.”

“Um?”

Obadiah pushed Leon’s “corpse” and wanted to sit in his seat and talk to Tony face to face, but he found that he couldn’t push it at all. It was as if he was pushing a human-shaped iron block, which was extremely heavy.

He could only give up.

He then sat opposite Leon and Tony, and the classic villain-talking segment began.

“Remember this, Tony?” Obadiah took out the Bluetooth headphones used for noise isolation from his ears, and then shook the small prop in his hand at Tony.

“This is the portable infrasound weapon you developed. Unfortunately, due to the indiscriminate propagation characteristics of infrasound, it has not been approved for production by the government. But it is quite practical, isn’t it?”

“What a shame, Tony.”

“Why did you and Leon come back?”

“If I had just died like that, it would have been better for both you and me, and we wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble now.”

“The media below will definitely not guess the purpose of why I called them here today.”

“After all, who would have thought that the Stark brothers who had just escaped would be killed by assassins under such a high profile today?”

“And I, Obadiah Stane, will take over Stark Industries completely!”

“Tony, your father and I founded Stark Industries. I devoted my entire life to this company, but in the end, what I got was even less than this loser next to me who only knows how to play with women!”

Duang!

“Hiss—Fuck!”

“Is his head made of iron?”

When it comes to excitement.

Obadiah was so angry that he punched Leon hard on the head.

As a result, Leon’s head was fine, but Obadiah’s metacarpal bone was broken with a crisp sound.

“I didn’t mean to do this,”

“But the presence of you two brothers really makes it difficult for me!”

After saying that.

Obadiah used his injured right hand to put on a white glove for his left hand with difficulty, then took out a pistol from his arms, turned on the safety, and pointed it at Tony’s head.

However.

Right at this moment.

Leon, who was “poisoned to death”, unexpectedly came back to life and overturned the table!

“Difficult?”

“Then don’t do it!”

Bang–

Obadiah’s gun fired.

But Leon grabbed the bullet and crushed it in an instant!

“You! How could you…” Obadiah stuttered.

Leon kindly said for him, “Why wasn’t I poisoned to death?”

“you guess?”

“I guess you!”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Obadiah, who was broken through the defense, emptied the magazine directly at Tony and Leon.

Leon protected Tony, who was in a paralyzed state, behind him. All the bullets hit his body, which was no different from tickling, except that there were eight more holes in Leon’s clothes.

“How could it be?!”

“Are you a human or a ghost?!”

Faced with Leon, who was invulnerable to bullets after coming back from the dead, Obadiah was so scared that he sat down on the ground. The pistol with an empty magazine slipped out of his hand and slid to Leon’s feet.

Leon bent over to pick it up, and under Obadiah’s skeptical gaze, he kneaded the pistol into a lump like dough, then put his palms together and slapped it into a discus.

“Stan, you know nothing about power.”

Bang!

The discus hit the ground.

Along with it fell Obadiah’s hopeful heart.

Now.

He finally understood why Leon was not hit by the car and why Tony was able to escape from the Ten Rings.

turn out to be.

He has always been the one who was kept in the dark.

He didn’t even know that his partner had already created the “strongest weapon”.

“Howard, you! Was this also part of your calculations?” Obadiah was furious.

Leon didn’t quite understand what he was angry about. Why did he suddenly bring up his dad?

If Leon knew that Obadiah had already imagined his “Man of Steel” as Howard’s research result, he would probably die of laughter on the spot.

“Any last words?”

Leon moved closer to Obadiah.

“……”

Obadiah didn’t say anything, but just put his hands and feet together and crawled away from Leon, as if he wanted to escape.

soon.

Leon paused.

Because Obadiah had nowhere to escape.

Behind him were the lights of thousands of homes and the sky that was hundreds of meters high.

At this time.

Tony just recovered from the paralysis and walked to Leon tremblingly. He was supported by him, and then asked Obadiah who was already in a desperate situation:

“Why?”

Although he was paralyzed just now, Tony was still conscious and heard every word Obadiah said.

“Why? Haha!”

Obadiah sneered, “No reason, Tony!”

“As long as you continue in this position, you will destroy yourself sooner or later. I will be waiting for you in hell!”

“Wait till you’re paralyzed!”

“If you want to jump, jump now!”

“I gave you a chance, and you really think you’re a character!”

Whoosh—bang!

Leon raised his hand, and a light flashed in his palm.

Obadiah was blown away by the golden impact.

13 seconds later.

A dull sound of firecrackers came from downstairs.

Listen to that noise.

There was a high probability that Obadiah had been smashed into a pile of sauce.

“Oh, my God!” Tony looked at Leon speechlessly, “Why are you so quick? I still have a lot of questions to ask.”

“Blame me~”

Leon shrugged nonchalantly.

By the time Pepper downloaded and printed out the evidence of Obadiah’s collusion with the Ten Rings and the killer in murdering Tony and Leon from Obadiah’s office computer and brought it over.

Leon had already closed Obadiah’s coffin, with great efficiency.

I can only say that plans are not as fast as changes.
