American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

Of course, after he played with them, the impression was not so deep.

Obadiah breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his solid state sprouting. That's right, this is the Tony Stark he knew. He almost couldn't continue acting just now.

"During the time you were missing, the company's stock price plummeted, and things became complicated. I couldn't handle it alone, so I hired a few new people.

Natalie is a recently hired secretary. She's very capable and... single."

He winked at Tony with a look that told all men that he knew.

"Natalie" is the pseudonym Natasha uses in Stark Group. She has a calm expression, a slight smile on her lips, red lips, fair skin, and charming red hair. The charm she revealed in an instant almost took Tony's soul away.

"Hello, Mr. Stark."

Tony immediately held the other person's hand, the smooth feeling made him reluctant to let go.

"You are so beautiful, baby... I dare say there is no other woman more beautiful than you. Were you a model? Or an actress?"

Natasha giggled and watched Tony perform.

Tony became more excited, but soon his stomach started to growl.

He shrugged, not feeling embarrassed at all. "It seems I need to find something to fill my stomach before having dinner with you. Happy, I want a cheeseburger and an ice-cold Coke now!"

Turning around, Tony was almost mad because Happy was looking at Natalie with a pig-like face and was reluctant to look away.

Tony slapped Happy on the shoulder, waking him up.

"Hey man, go get me something to eat now, okay?"

On the surface, the two are superiors and subordinates, but in private they are actually very good friends, so they get along very casually.

Upon hearing this, Happy immediately went to find him something to eat. Few people know that the wealthy Tony Stark actually likes to eat junk food.

Hamburgers, cola, donuts and the like are his favorites.

As expected, the news of Tony Stark's return once again made headlines across the United States.

The stock price of Stark Group stopped falling because of his appearance and rebounded at an astonishing speed.

"Looks like you won the bet."

Pepper, who works at Umbrella, noticed the situation of the stock market and looked surprised.

She saw with her own eyes that in less than a month, the stocks Dane had bought had skyrocketed nearly tenfold.

"Unfortunately, the shares I acquired are not enough for me to become a shareholder on the board of directors."

Although Stark Industries' stock price plummeted due to Tony's disappearance, he was only missing, not dead. There were still many people who did not believe it and were unwilling to sell their shares easily even if the stock price fell sharply.

Now those who persisted have finally reaped huge rewards. Dane does not have as many shares as he imagined, not enough for him to join the board of directors of Stark Group.

But he knew that there would be opportunities in the future. When Tony Stark decided to close the weapons research and development department, he hoped that those who persisted now would continue to persevere as always.

That's when Umbrella should buy at the bottom.

Dane has already contacted Justin Hammer of Hammer Industries. He is a rich man with a lot of money and a stupid mind. It would be unreasonable not to rip him off.

Sure enough, a few days later, Tony Stark, who had recovered from the kidnapping case, held a press conference and dropped a bombshell right at the start.

——He officially announced the closure of the weapons research and development department, and once the weapons in stock are sold out and the orders agreed in the contract are completed, weapons production and sales will no longer be carried out!

This statement caused an uproar! The public opinion circle went crazy!

Obadiah Stan was going crazy! He had no idea about this before!

But at the press conference, he still had to put on a smile and pretend that everything was under control.

The press conference was broadcast live to the entire United States. Tony Stark was sitting on the steps of the podium, holding a cheeseburger in one hand and his other hand in plaster, while a group of reporters squatted on the ground like grandchildren to listen to his speech.

Pepper used to be Obadiah's secretary, so she knew very well what kind of person he was. When she saw the smile on her former boss's face that was uglier than crying, she almost laughed out loud.

Reporters love Tony Stark because he always makes big news and you will never lack good material around him.

That night after the press conference, Obadiah and Tony had a heated argument in Stark Tower.

But no matter how hard Obadiah tried to persuade him, Tony was determined to close the weapons department.

Although Obadiah is the second-in-command of the company, the weapons department is nothing without Tony Stark, and even Justin Hammer may not be able to compare with him.

Obadiah is good at management and office politics, but his other skills are a mess, and his hands-on ability is not as good as that of a basic screwdriver.

That night, someone saw Obadiah walking out of Stark Tower with a gloomy face. Fortunately, the stock exchange had closed by then, otherwise Stark Industries' stock would have plummeted again.

Justin Hammer even called Dane specifically.

"Dane, do you understand? That idiot Stark actually shut down the most profitable department of the entire company! He was scared into an idiot by the Arabs!"

He made no secret of his gloating; this was probably the happiest moment in his life.

Dane listened to his ramblings expressionlessly, then said calmly:

"Justin, don't be so happy. When the market opens tomorrow, Stark's stock will definitely plummet again. After Stark's weapons department is closed, the production line must go somewhere..."

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of rapid breathing.

"Dane, you reminded me that I must get Stark's weapons production line!"

After saying that, Justin hung up the phone and hurried to make preparations.

To take over Stark's weapons production line, Hammer Industries alone is not enough, and the military must be asked for help.

If Stark no longer makes weapons, then Hammer Industries can completely replace it and become the new military industry overlord!

Chapter 724 Sisters Meet

When the whole United States was in turmoil because of Tony Stark's words, Nick Fury also became Spartan in S.H.I.E.L.D.

He immediately called Natasha: "What is that idiot doing?"

Natasha was speechless: "He locked himself in his room, who knows what he is doing."

"You go in and take a look."

Natasha pinched her brows and said helplessly, "Nick, Stark's room is full of cutting-edge technology. The entire room is monitored by artificial intelligence 24 hours a day. No one can sneak in without being discovered except those with permission."

Nick said unwillingly: "Think of a solution?"

Natasha thought about it carefully, and finally said, "If I can make him completely obsessed with me, maybe there will be a chance to get in."

"Then forget it."

Nick was about to agree, but in the end he thought better of it. Tony was important, but not important enough for him to be paired with a promising agent.

"Don't worry, there won't be any actual contact. What can I say about this guy Stark... He seems to think of himself as a great lover."

Speaking of this, Natasha just found it funny.

After their first meeting that day, Tony Stark used his power to transfer her to his side to serve as his personal secretary.

Since she is his personal secretary, she probably needs to deal with his personal problems, so Natasha has the opportunity to enter his room, but she doesn't necessarily have to sleep with him.

Although Tony is a wealthy man, the female spy has no intention of losing her virginity on him.

Nick was delighted when he heard this: "Okay, if you get a chance, keep an eye on him and see what he's up to!"

He didn't believe that Ni was making such a big fuss just to shut down a weapons department.

Even if he really had a change of heart and repented, he would not have ruined the business that his father had worked so hard to build.

Nick Fury guessed that shutting down the weapons department was just the first step, and he must have other actions!

It is still unclear how the other party escaped from the terrorist organization.

But what Nick Fury didn't expect was that the next second after he hung up the phone, Natasha immediately contacted another person.

"Dane, I have something to tell you."

"explain."

Dane's voice was flat, leaving Natasha confused as to what he was thinking.

"Something seems off about Tony Stark?"

"Don't waste time, get straight to the point."

Natasha: “…”

Oh man.

"I was there when his personal doctor was treating him, and there was this amazing little thing on his chest."

"That's a miniaturized Ark reactor, is that what you're talking about?"

"..."

Natasha was a little confused, but she knew about this because Tony saw that she was curious and proudly introduced the thing to her.

But she didn't expect that the person on the other end of the phone knew it all. Could it be that besides her, there were other people lurking in Stark Corporation?

Natasha began to become suspicious.

"Well... now that you know..."

Dane didn't listen to what she said next, but was thinking.

Since Pepper Potts in the original book has come to work under him, Stark has lost a trustworthy woman by his side. Given his personality, Natasha may not be able to fully gain his trust.

Even though Tony Stark deals with countless women like a playboy, he still pursues his true soul mate. Natasha's acting skills are enough to make her a "close friend", but not enough to make Stark trust him with his life.

But entering his laboratory during non-critical periods should be possible with some effort. Even Phil Coulson has been there.

Dane thought of this not because he coveted the other party's iron armor technology. To be honest, he did not think it was a safe weapon.

As long as there is an Internet connection, even if Stark creates an entire Iron Legion, Cortana will seize control of it in an instant.

Just like Ultron.

Unless a true artificial intelligence life form is created with the Mind Stone as its core, the Iron Legion will always be at risk of losing control.

If Dane just wanted power armor, then he wouldn't have to steal Tony Stark's technology. The biggest difficulty with this kind of thing is the energy source, but even if he didn't use a small fusion reactor, it would actually be possible to use high-density energy batteries.

This is the same battery used in the energy gun that Hydra once used. Its technical principle is a product of more than 60 years ago and is not very advanced.

Although the Rubik's Cube energy source is difficult to obtain, the energy compression technology is not as difficult as imagined and is relatively easy to solve.

The greatest value of the Iron Man suit lies in its shock absorption system, but this thing can be reverse engineered as long as a sample of the Iron Man suit is obtained. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so Dane is not in a hurry.

So at this stage, Dane really has no desire for Tony Stark himself or his technology.

On the contrary, without Pepper by his side, when Obadiah snatched the reactor from Stark's chest, he might still need Natasha to save his life. This is a good opportunity to show mercy.

"Right now, I don't need you to do anything. Just stay by his side and be a real secretary. When the critical moment comes, he might need you to save his life.

By the way, come over when you have time. I have something to give you, and I want you to meet someone."

After that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Natasha to respond.

That evening, Natasha came to Umbrella after work, full of resentment.

"Dane, have I ever told you that it's easy for you to be friendless with your personality?"

"Do you think I care about such boring things?"

"Indeed, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there was anyone in the world more difficult to get along with than Stark."

Natasha complained furiously, and Dane sincerely hoped that she would be as lively as she was now in the future. He threw the thing in his palm to Natasha, who caught it subconsciously.

"Reactor!?" Her eyes widened. "How did you get this?"

"If it weren't for the patent barrier, I could give one to every American!"

Natasha was confused. She learned a lot from listening to Tony bragging. Just such a small amount could provide electricity for the entire city for a whole day!

She suddenly felt that the thing was a little hot: "Why are you giving this to me?"

"You must use this to save Stark's life at the critical moment." Then he said without further ado, "Now turn your head."

Natasha turned around as she was told, and then stopped. There was a very young girl in combat uniform looking at her.

Yelena said coldly: "Don't you recognize me?"

"Yelena..." Natasha didn't know if she was dreaming, but she soon found out.

Yelena took advantage of her trance and kicked Natasha in the face with her foot, sending her flying to the side.
