The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 72 Obadiah's Misunderstanding

Obadiah is the group director and Pepper is the secretary to the group president. Both of them are responsible for many affairs every day.

Tony plans to have the two of them become his apprentices separately, each for three months, which will not cause any adverse impact on the group's business.

Tony decided to talk to Obadiah first, while Pepper could go to the back row.

He wandered over to Stark Group, chatted with Obadiah's secretary for a few words, and then went straight into the director's office.

"Tony? How come you are here? This is a rare thing." Obadiah was also very surprised at his appearance.

"Haha, don't say that, Uncle Obadiah, I'm the chairman of the group." Tony smiled and hugged him.

"Yes, the chairman who appears and disappears like a ghost, the chairman who is rarely seen once a year, the chairman who many newcomers don't know..." Obadiah kept complaining.

Tony quickly interrupted him, "How could there be a new person who doesn't know me? I appear on TV and in newspapers every day."

"Yes, but it's not the financial section, nor the technology section, but the entertainment section." Obadiah rang the bell to call in the secretary, who brought coffee to the two of them.

"Tell me, Tony, weren't you on vacation in Saudi Arabia with your sweetheart? Why did you suddenly come back?"

"Oh, Uncle Obadiah, this is old news. We went to the Maldives two weeks ago."

"Who cares where you guys go? I just want to know, why did you suddenly come to my office to harass me? Did you come up with some new invention?"

"Oh, I've been busy practicing martial arts lately, so I haven't made any new inventions except for the strong magnetic armor."

"Strong magnetic armor? Is it a new weapon? Exoskeleton armor?" Obadiah's ears immediately caught the key words and became interested.

"Oh, no, it's armor that assists in practicing martial arts. It's useless for those who haven't reached the state of magnetic field rotation."

Obadiah immediately lost interest, "If it's useless, why are you here?"

"Don't be so cold, Uncle Obadiah."

"Bullshit! Tony, I'm very busy at work every day and I have a meeting soon, you'd better stop talking nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, Uncle Obadiah, have you ever thought about learning martial arts? Like me, becoming a super soldier." Tony said, easily twisting the steel armrests on the seat into a pretzel shape.

"I don't need to be a warrior!" Obadiah immediately refused.

"But it can make you healthier and more energetic. Uncle Obadiah, you are not young anymore, and your heart is not in good condition. You have already developed various old age diseases, right? But after practicing martial arts, your body can be restored to health, and even your thinking speed will be much faster than that of ordinary people."

Tony's words touched Obadiah. He thought carefully for a while and nodded, "Okay, you are right. I need a healthier body. I will take one or two hours every day to practice martial arts. You can ask that person to come and teach me."

"No, no, no, Uncle Obadiah, my master has very strict rules. You must know Chinese and become his formal disciple before he will teach you. Also, he has a magnetic field around him that helps increase your training speed."

"Rules? Tony, I'm surprised to hear these two words come out of your mouth. Should I give your teacher a best teacher award?" Obadiah said sarcastically in surprise.

Tony shrugged and didn't say anything, because he had no way of explaining to Obadiah what kind of person Zhan Liu was.

"Uncle Obadiah, my idea is that you take a three-month break and concentrate on practicing martial arts, and the group's work can be temporarily handed over to Pepper. After three months, Pepper will also go to the martial arts gym to practice martial arts, and I'll have to ask you to take over her work at that time." Upon hearing this, Obadiah immediately became alert.

Tony didn't know that the mastermind behind his previous attack in Afghanistan was Obadiah, and all the people involved had been cleaned out by Obadiah.

Later, because Tony turned into Superman, thermal weapons were ineffective, so Obadiah had to give up the idea of ​​killing Tony by borrowing his knife and hide his thoughts.

It had been so long that he thought Tony would always be kept in the dark, but Tony's words today immediately made him more alert again.

He seriously suspected that Tony had noticed something and wanted to kick him out of the board of directors.

The so-called learning martial arts is just an excuse; the real purpose is to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power.

The three-month window period is enough for Tony to win over all his confidants or clean them out. At that time, he can only be a nominal director.

Obadiah crossed his arms, leaned forward, stared into Tony's eyes, and asked, "Tony, have you heard any rumors?"

"Rumors? What rumors?" Tony was puzzled.

"Then why did you want me to leave my job?" Obadiah asked aggressively.

"My master has a rule that all registered disciples must achieve electric current propulsion within three months, otherwise they will be demoted to students and expelled from the martial arts school. And without the magnetic field acceleration around him, it will be very difficult to practice electric current propulsion again. That's why I hope you can focus on learning martial arts for three months and get the status of a formal disciple first." Tony explained in detail.

"No, I will never leave my job!" Obadiah flatly rejected the suggestion.

He stood up suddenly and shouted to Tony excitedly:

"I have worked in this position my whole life, and I have dedicated my life to Stark Group."

"My life, my ideals, everything about me... are deeply tied to the Stark Group."

"Without me, Stark Group wouldn't have been able to grow to where it is today!"

"So now, you want to kick me out of Stark Group because of some unconfirmed rumors?"

"Don't dream, Tony! I won't leave here. Even if I die, I will die in this position!"

Tony looked at Obadiah in confusion, as he suddenly became excited. He couldn't figure out what he had said wrong that led to the misunderstanding.

"Hey, Uncle Obadiah, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to drive you away. The contribution you have made to Stark Group is irreplaceable and indelible. You will always be the pride of Stark Group."

"I just want you to take a long vacation first and get your body in shape. Then you can live healthier and work more efficiently."

"Ha, are you dissatisfied with my low work efficiency?" Obadiah slammed the desk vigorously. "I tell you, Tony, I am in good health. I can continue to work for another 20 years!"

"I don't need a vacation! I don't need to practice martial arts! Let that crappy martial arts gym with those strict rules go to hell!"
