Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Sherlock was unaware of the Ancient One's thoughts and actions. After passing through the Anywhere Door, Sherlock returned directly to his rented apartment and quietly waited for Obadiah to go mad.

As it turned out, Obadiah did not disappoint Sherlock.

After Sherlock presented Tony with evidence that Obadiah had murdered his parents, and after public opinion linked the Cleaners Corporation with Obadiah.

Whether it was to control public opinion or to give an explanation to Sherlock's parents, Tony also began a series of actions against Obadiah.

The first thing they did was to forcibly stop Obadiah's activities at Stark Industries under the pretext of dealing with public opinion, and to begin investigating and archiving all the data of the weapons manufacturing department.

Not only that, Tony also asked Pepper to cooperate with him to see if they could find evidence on Obadiah's computer that he had stolen Stark Industries' weapon blueprints, manufactured them privately, and then smuggled them under the name of Stark Industries.

Tony ultimately softened his heart once again when it came to Obadiah.

The purpose of finding this evidence is nothing more than to put Obadiah in jail so that he can live a life of luxury after his release.

But Obadiah clearly didn't think that way.

Or rather, Obadiah viewed Tony's actions from a completely different perspective.

For Obadiah, Tony's move was simply an attempt to kick him out of Stark Industries!

Obadiah himself believes he has done countless dirty jobs for Stark Industries, managed the company for the Stark father and son his entire life, and even helped Stark Industries grow from scratch to where it is today.

Now Tony actually wants to discard him after he's served his purpose and kick him out of Stark Industries' system of interests?

Leaving aside whether Obadiah's wallet could support his extravagant lifestyle after leaving Stark Industries, the mental blow alone would be enough for Obadiah to not be able to accept!

Coupled with Sherlock's previous attacks on Obadiah, the now troubled Obadiah has become increasingly insane.

The desire to kill Tony began to stir within him like a demon.

Obadiah's intelligence is truly inferior to Tony's. Even Howard himself probably didn't expect that after his sudden death, Obadiah would be able to rise to his current position by luck and his status as a former veteran.

Therefore, after the thought of killing Tony took hold of his mind, Obadiah's first solution was to seize control of the company by force, just like a brute.

The process was nothing more than using the Iron Monger armor built from Tony's leftovers to kill Tony first and then seize Stark Industries. In essence, it was just as foolish and reckless as leading a group to rob a company's official seal in China.

After all, the worst-case scenario would be a lose-lose situation, with Stark Industries being dragged down with them.

However, if things go well, Obadiah would be at the top level, not only able to control Stark Industries, but also able to use Stark Industries' connections and resources to clear himself of all his "dirt".

Obadiah, like a gambler who had lost everything, left Stark Industries without offering any resistance when faced with Tony's encirclement and suppression within the organization.

However, it was clear that Tony was not at ease with Obadiah's departure, and after Obadiah left, the entire Stark Corporation began a frenzy of personnel changes.

Obadiah, who had left Stark Industries, didn't sit idle. He immediately went to his weapons manufacturing plant and frantically urged the engineers to perfect his Iron Monger mech.

No matter how much Obadiah urged him or tried to entice him with benefits, some things cannot be solved with money.

Take energy, for example.

The Iron Monger is far more complete than the Mark I that Tony initially built from scrap metal, but the miniature Arc Reactor on its chest, which serves as its energy source, is the only thing that left Tony helpless.

In the end, with no other choice, Obadiah had to take a risky approach and come up with an idea that was hardly an idea at all!

Steal Tony's miniature Arc Reactor!

After spending three days smuggling his Iron Monument from East Asia to the United States, Obadiah called Tony under the guise of apologizing and wanted to meet with him.

The address was chosen to be inside Tony's villa.

Tony, who still harbored illusions about Obadiah, hesitated for a while before agreeing to his request.

Of course, Tony's easy agreement to Obadiah's offer was also due to his arrogance. After all, Tony felt that he, a "young guy," was more than capable of handling an "old man" like Obadiah.

Not to mention he also has the support of the Mark Armor.

The meeting started calmly until Obadiah pulled out a device the size of a USB flash drive, at which point Tony realized something was wrong.

A subsonic weapon, not lethal, but capable of immobilizing a person!

When Tony collapsed to the ground due to his arrogance, and Obadiah grinned as he pulled out the miniature arc reactor from Tony's chest, Tony's eyes were filled with despair and despair.

He still couldn't believe that this man, who had taken over the role of elder after all the elders had passed away, actually wanted to kill him with his own hands.

What made Tony feel even more desperate was that Obadiah laughed unrestrainedly after seeing Tony's increasingly pale face, and cursed at Tony with a ferocious look.

"Tony Stark! You're just as repulsive as your father! I originally wanted to kill you outright, then use your armor and the miniature Arc Reactor to reclaim what rightfully belonged to me, Stark Industries."

But now I've changed my mind. I want you to feel the shrapnel lodged in your body slowly entering your heart in despair, so that you can leave this world in the most painful way!

Do you know what the most wonderful thing is? The great and wise Tony Stark will die silently! Even until your body rots and you turn to bones, he won't be discovered!

Because I'll send that bitch Booz down to keep you company too!

After saying this, Obadiah pulled up his phone and showed it to Tony. The screen showed Pepper Potts sneakily controlling Obadiah's computer in his office.

"Don't worry, just remember to walk slowly on the road to the underworld, and wait for you, the last lover to accompany you on your journey! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

After saying that, Obadiah laughed and left Tony's villa.

Only after Obadiah left did Tony slowly regain control of his body. Enduring the excruciating pain in his heart, Tony mustered all his strength to pull out the distress signal given to him by Sherlock from his pocket.

After Tony finally managed to control his trembling fingers and press the distress button, a pink door that seemed to radiate hope appeared in his field of vision.

As the door opened, a cynical voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, rang in Tony's ears.

"Hey, isn't this the legendary genius who never needs to call for help, the armored man Tony Stark? What happened to you, you're doing so poorly now?"
