I was watching American comic book short videos, and at the beginning, Iron Man was breaking down.

Chapter 70 It's time to assemble the Avengers!

The real world.

As always, Jiang Cheng was immersed in short videos, and several days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, within the worlds of some corresponding American comics, various events are unfolding.

……

Marvel Universe 199999.

Swish swish!

In the basement of Stark's mansion, Tony was busy working in front of a large array of digital projectors.

Nothing more than the playboy upgrading his armor.

After all, the Tony of today is different from the Tony of the past. He now knows the truth about this world and knows that some cruel things will happen in the future.

This made Tony feel a sense of urgency.

Only by constantly upgrading his armor could Tony feel at ease.

"Sir, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes is here."

Tony didn't know how much time had passed when Jarvis's voice rang out, interrupting his thoughts.

Tony then stopped what he was doing and went to the living room on the first floor, where he met Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes who was waiting there.

"Any results yet?"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Tony began to ask Rhodes questions.

"Something was found out during the interrogation."

Rhodes nodded, but immediately changed the subject, "However, I suggest you prepare yourself mentally first."

"Please, Roddy."

Tony shrugged. "To know our itinerary so precisely, do you think I wouldn't guess it's someone high up at Stark Industries? Stop being so indecisive."

"It's Obadiah."

After a moment's hesitation, Rod told Tony the name.

Tony was completely stunned.

Obadiah?

Is it him?

It has to be said that this answer was completely unexpected by Tony.

As he himself said, he did indeed suspect that the mastermind might be a senior member of his own group, and he even had some suspects.

However, Tony never suspected Obadiah.

You have to understand, Obadiah is like an uncle to Tony.

After Tony's parents died in an accident, it was Obadiah who single-handedly saved Stark Industries.

When Tony returned after completing his studies, Obadiah also provided him with great assistance, and the relationship between the two had long surpassed that of colleagues and superiors.

Tony truly never expected that the mastermind behind it all would be Obadiah!

Why?

This was the second thought that popped into Tony's mind.

Why did Obadiah kill himself?

Tony was genuinely puzzled, mainly because he really posed no threat to Obadiah.

Although Tony holds a high position of power within the group, when has the playboy ever taken charge of anything?

He had absolutely no interest in those things; they were too much trouble. Tony just wanted to be a super-rich kid in peace and quiet!

Not only that, Tony Stark is also Stark Industries' cash cow; he designed many of Stark's products.

What good would it do Obadiah if he died?

Tony was genuinely puzzled.

But ultimately, this doesn't matter. Whatever the reason, Obadiah was already planning to kill him.

That's the most important thing.

Tony wasn't the kind of brainless saint who would easily forgive his enemies, and he quickly came to regard Obadiah as his enemy as well.

"Is there any evidence?"

Tony glanced at Rhodes.

Rhodes shook his head. "There is no evidence sufficient to convict Obadiah."

Tony understood the situation.

There was no way around it; someone of Obama's stature had deeply entrenched connections within the military, involving the interests of far too many people.

Without some truly explosive information, it would be very difficult to take him down.

"Leave this to me."

After a moment's thought, Tony made this decision.

"What can you do?"

Rhodes wasn't very confident about this. "Should we just go and question him about why he tried to assassinate you, Tony? I know you're unwilling to accept this, but I'm afraid this matter won't have a resolution."

Obadiah wasn't stupid; he would definitely have erased all traces of the operation after it failed.

Rhodes had absolutely no confidence in this.

"No, this matter has to be put on hold for now, I understand."

Tony shrugged. If Rhodes understood this, how could Tony not understand it?

Although he was somewhat unwilling, it seemed that his assassination attempt could only be left in a daze.

Tony didn't intend to use this incident to bring down Obadiah.

However, Tony can find a breakthrough from other aspects.

Now that he knows Obadiah is colluding with the Ten Rings, he can naturally guess that the Ten Rings' weapons must have come from Obadiah.

Since Obadiah is supplying weapons to the Ten Rings, will he also supply weapons to other terrorist groups?

Tony felt it was still worthwhile to explore further.

"What are you up to now, Tony?"

"Stop with the surprise stuff. Tell me your ideas now!"

As soon as Rod saw Tony's expression, he knew that Tony must have come up with something, and immediately pressed him for details.

This matter is different from Iron Man, so there's no need to hide it. Tony told Rhodey about his plans.

Rhodes agreed wholeheartedly and assured Tony that he would provide assistance and cooperation within his authority if needed.

That's settled.

"Oh, right, there's another thing I came here for."

After discussing Obadiah's matter, Rhodes thought of something else: "Regarding your armor, the military has some suggestions..."

"Stop!"

Tony didn't give Rhodes a chance to speak at all, "To avoid an awkward atmosphere, I think we should stop this topic."

"Tony, I didn't even say what kind of advice it was."

"You don't need to say anything! The armor is mine, it belongs to me alone, and nobody else can have it!"

How could Tony not understand what those people in the military were thinking? He clearly expressed his stance.

Rhodes didn't say anything more. His purpose in coming was simply to sound out Tony's opinion on behalf of the military.

The military has indeed set its sights on Tony's armor, but they are not in a hurry to act; they need to plan carefully.

"Tony, I'm going now."

"Notify me immediately if there is any news."

After saying goodbye to Tony, Rhodey left.

"Sir, you were looking for me?"

At the same time, Hawkeye Barton and Black Widow were summoned to Nick Fury's office.

Lu Dan didn't say much, but simply opened the drawer and took out a relevant document.

It was placed in front of Hawkeye Barton and Black Widow.

Patton and Black Widow exchanged a glance before Patton picked up the document, while Black Widow leaned closer to look.

When Patton opened the document, the large print on the title page immediately caught their attention.

The sign above read: The Avengers Project.
