Marvel's Umbrella

Chapter 39 Charles Visits

At night in New York, the lights are brightly lit.

The city looks magnificent under the illumination of tall buildings and numerous car lights on the road.

Of course, if you look closely, it won’t feel beautiful.

Because on the dark streets, homeless people can be seen everywhere, as well as urine and feces, and the stench in the air, which will definitely let you know what it means to only watch from a distance and not look closely.

But it’s different in the wealthy area of ​​Manhattan.

It's clean, tidy, and orderly here, there's not even a homeless person.

At this time, in Obadiah's villa.

The place is brightly lit, and luxury cars, wealthy people, celebrities and others appear from time to time.

Although it was a private party, due to the sharp rise in stock prices today, many reporters came outside the villa to obtain first-hand information.

"squeak…"

With the sound of brakes, Tony got out of the luxury car holding Pepper's hand.

When the reporters around saw Tony and Pepper appear, they immediately came over to take pictures.

"Mr. Stark, I wonder what you think about the big rise in Stark Enterprises today?"

"Ms. Pepper, I heard that you were kicked out of Stark Enterprises because of your business ability issues. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"Today, Stark Enterprises and Umbrella signed a new energy cooperation agreement for the Ark Reactor. What do you think?"

If facing these reporters in the past, Pepper might have had some patience.

But after hearing these tricky questions, she could only put on a cold face, take Tony's hand and leave quickly.

Obadiah, who was receiving the distinguished guests, immediately saw the two of them, so after apologizing, he walked over with a glass of wine.

"Oh, my Tony, I'm so glad you can come."

Although the two had grievances, Obadiah was a major shareholder of Stark Enterprises after all, so there was no reason for Obadiah not to invite him.

Of course, the main reason was that he wanted to show Tony that under his leadership, Stark Industries was making great strides and was now better than before.

In fact, he thought the other party would not come, but he didn't expect that he would come.

Tony looked at the elder in front of him, whom he once thought he respected the most, and his feelings were very complicated.

"Uncle Stani, please allow me to call you this for the last time. For the sake of Stark Enterprises, please stop.

Umbrella is just using you, and they will eventually take over Stark Enterprises."

Hearing this, Obadiah smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

“Of course I know, but I am not without a backup plan.

Tony, just be your young master, Stark Enterprises will move towards a better future under my leadership."

After saying this, he walked up to Tony and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, completely different from the man who wanted to kill the other person just half a month ago.

This is also the norm in the United States.

The family celebrates together in front of others, but stabs each other behind their backs.

Just like before, Obadiah's heart was bleeding when Tony returned from the Middle East, but on the surface he still maintained the appearance of a good uncle.

Seeing this, Pepper said in a low voice, "Obadiah, the harm of Umbrella is far beyond your imagination. It is best not to let Stark Enterprises cooperate with them."

Obadiah glanced at Pepper, then turned toward the gate.

I saw an ordinary car stop, and then a handsome Asian man and a blonde beauty got out.

"Of course I know the harm they can do, but don't underestimate me."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Tony and Pepper, and walked towards Li Feng and Luna who had just got off the car.

"Oh my God, Miss Luna is the most beautiful person in the room tonight.

It's like an angel fallen to earth.

This person must be the chairman of Umbrella, Mr. Li Feng."

Luna held Li Feng's arm with one hand and put the other hand in front of her mouth and smiled slightly.

“I think Mr. Obadiah must have cheated on a lot of girls when he was young.

I can hardly recognize myself anymore, haha."

Li Feng also smiled and stretched out his right hand. "Hello, Li Feng."

"Hello, Obadiah."

After the two shook hands, they quickly let go, and then they walked inside while chatting.

However, the two did not talk about any practical topics. They just praised each other's business, and then Obadiah went to greet other distinguished guests.

Not far away, Tony looked at Li Feng with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The last time Jarvis was hacked, he always suspected that it was Umbrella who did it.

After all, we were invaded as soon as we entered the Umbrella Building. How could it be such a coincidence?

However, because Jarvis' data was restarted, he had no evidence and didn't know how the other party did it, so he didn't take the next step.

But looking at the boss of Umbrella now, it seems that apart from being a little handsome, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about him.

After a while, Tony noticed that Li Feng turned his head to look at him, so he quickly looked away and looked somewhere else.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the other person was walking towards him with Luna.

"Mr. Stark, it's an honor to meet you."

After hearing this, Tony couldn't pretend he didn't hear it.

"Hello, you are?"

"You can call me Lee, Chairman of Umbrella."

"It turned out to be Mr. Li."

After saying this briefly, he hurriedly pulled Pepper away.

"call…"

Tony breathed a sigh of relief after he could no longer see Li Feng.

"Strange, why do I feel like a thief?
Is it because of the time I sneaked into the other company last time?"

In place.

Li Feng watched Tony leave in a hurry, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Funny big boy."

This was also the first time he and Tony met.

It seems that this Marvel protagonist has not fully grown up yet.

After a while, he turned to look at Obadiah and found that he was discussing political donations with some politicians.

He just smiled at this.

……

The next morning, the sky was already slightly bright before the sun came out.

Tony got up and kissed Pepper who was still sleeping.

"Honey, I'm going to Sakura Country for a few days."

"Well, be careful."

After Pepper finished speaking in a daze, she turned over and continued to sleep.

Tony felt a little cold after getting out of bed.

"Phew, the weather is starting to get cooler."

"Yes, Mr. Stark, according to the weather forecast, the temperature has dropped by seven degrees recently. It is even colder in Tokyo. I suggest you bring more clothes."

"understood."

I came to the kitchen downstairs, had just finished breakfast, and was picking up the Mark V suitcase, when I heard the doorbell ring.

"Ding dong..."

"Strange, who would come to see me at this time?"

When he opened the door, he saw a bald old man sitting in a wheelchair and a red-haired beauty behind the wheelchair.

"Hello, Mr. Stark, my name is Charles Francis Xavier."
