Obadiah couldn't wait to rush to the Middle East with his private mercenaries.
Obviously, he went there to rob other gangs.
And he was indeed successful. In the face of Stark's high technology, several Middle Easterners whose strongest firepower was only semi-automatic were no match at all and were easily annihilated.
Obadiah sneered and stepped on the small leader's head: "I heard that you want to do business with me?"
The little boss had a generator attached to his neck, and he was paralyzed by the electric shock and couldn't speak at all.
"No one in this world can threaten me, no one!"
After saying that, Obadiah moved his feet away, raised his gun and fired several shots at the small boss's head, killing him completely.
"Boss, we found it."
Obadiah took a few quick steps and finally found the barely pieced-together First Generation Mark battle suit in a tent.
"Take it back!"
That night, the large figurine traveled across the ocean and arrived at one of the departments under Stark Industries. Obadiah missed Stark's party and also missed a major plan on new energy.
And for some personal reasons, he deliberately avoided Tony's contact for several days.
At this time, Tony was busy researching the new Mark suit and had no time to pay attention to other things, which led to a very ridiculous thing.
That is the entire Stark Group. The two people who can make decisions are busy with their own affairs, and the company's mess is handed over to Natasha, the female spy.
When she reported to Dane, she couldn't help but complain: "If I were a corporate spy, Stark Enterprises would be mine by now!"
"Then you underestimate Stark. Although he doesn't pay much attention to the company's operations, as long as his shareholding remains unchanged, his say in the board of directors will not be shaken. Jarvis is helping him monitor the company at all times."
By the way, Stark's approach has a bit of a "hands-off" feel. Although he does not often appear in the company and has no actual management, he always has a high say.
A big reason for this is that he is a celebrity known throughout the United States. Even a child knows Tony Stark's genius. This fame is his amulet, allowing him to wander around freely without worrying about someone stealing his property.
Of course, there is another very important reason. Many of his patented technologies in the military industry were applied for in his personal name. He does not rely on Stark Industries for his livelihood. On the contrary, the employees of Stark Industries depend on him for their livelihood.
In this way, he can certainly be himself without restraint and choose which young model to accompany him tonight in a different way every day.
As the second-in-command of the group company, Obadiah basically only does the job of cleaning up the mess. No wonder he feels aggrieved and hates Stark.
However, although Stark was able to grasp the general direction, there were also some things he could not take into account.
Under Dane's orders, Natasha quietly gave the green light and stuffed in several Black Widows who decided to "start over."
These are all qualified talents who can easily manage a company. All they lack is an American academic degree, and Dane can provide them with these.
Then, with the help of these Black Widows, Dane began to take over and drastically split up Stark's weapons department.
He didn't ask for much and didn't do too much. The most excessive part was already being done by Hammer Industries, and he could only get a small share of the feast.
Because the two people who could make the decision were no longer in their positions, and the one who made the decision was a staunch "traitor", plus Tony Stark had already announced that he was going to disband the weapons department, so when the entire weapons production line was taken away, no one actually stopped it.
When Obadiah finally finished his own work and came back to see it, he almost exploded with anger!
The company's most profitable department had been practically emptied out! But he managed to maintain some sanity. When he investigated carefully, he discovered that it wasn't just Hammer Industries that was at work, but also forces from the military and even Parliament.
He quickly used his connections to contact those people, but the result made him feel depressed.
"If Stark can no longer serve the peace and security of America as he did in the past, then we can only choose a company that can do all of this. Hammer is a good choice..."
"Hammer? He's just an incompetent guy! He can't compare to Stark except for living off his ancestors' wealth."
"Obadiah, it's not that we don't want to support you. If Stark doesn't want to build weapons for us, and he happens to have the ability to make cutting-edge weapons, he will be the biggest destabilizing factor. Do you understand?"
"We are protecting you!"
The other party's high-sounding words left Obadiah speechless, and he could only face the reality dejectedly.
Natasha cleverly concealed her role in this and became a transparent person. After all, her position was not high and she had no say in the company's major decisions. Obadiah could only vent his anger on Tony.
He could no longer tolerate Tony Stark's continued mischief, and although his Iron Monger had been completed, it still lacked the most critical core - the energy source.
And this thing is now on Tony Stark's chest.

"It's time to end this." Obadiah made up his mind at this time.
Natasha noticed something was wrong with him and reported it to Dane.
"He will definitely make a move tonight, follow him."
"clear."
That night, Obadiah entered Tony Stark's residence, which was also his private studio, without invitation.
Normally, when he suddenly has a good idea, he will make some samples in this private studio. Those things will eventually become new products on the market and be purchased in large quantities by the military.
Although Obadiah doesn't like Stark, he has to admit that both generations of Stark are geniuses like his mother, and this is something he will never be able to match.
Obadiah had permission to enter, so he was allowed in without being stopped.
At the same time, Jarvis also notified Tony who was working.
"Sir, Mr. Stan is here."
"Huh? Why is he here?"
Then he quickly asked Jarvis to put away the Iron Man suit, in case Obadiah saw it, the other party would start nagging again.
For example, selling the Iron Man suit as a weapon is something he could definitely say.
"How did you come?"
"You haven't been to the company for many days, so I had no choice but to come to you."
Obadiah's acting is superb. Even though he hasn't been to the company for a long time, he acts as if he has always been in charge of the situation.
Tony even felt guilty, so he could only go forward and hug Obadiah as an apology.
But this played into the other party's hands. They didn't expect the other party to be so cunning. Now they didn't even need to find an excuse.
He immediately attached the power generation device that he had used to deal with the small leader of the Ten Rings Gang to Tony's back. The moment the device was activated, Tony fell to the ground with convulsions, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Tony, don't blame me, blame yourself. If you continue to mess around, Stark Group will be dragged into the abyss by you.
I built this company, and I can't let you continue like this!"
When Tony's whole body was paralyzed by the electric current and he could no longer move, Obadiah calmly removed the Ark reactor from his chest.
"You really are a genius, Tony, but you never use it for real work. With this thing, Stark Group can become the world's overlord!"
He squatted down, approached Tony, and said softly:
"Your good luck in the Middle East has run out. Also, thank you for the power armor you created. It will become Stark Industries' weapon for world domination."
Tony's eyes widened, staring at him intently!
Chapter 729: SHIELD, come out and get to work!
Obadiah was pleased with Tony Stark's expression. He had waited for this moment for too long.
Obadiah was willing to talk so much nonsense with him just to let him die in pain and regret.
Now that he had seen what he wanted to see, he was already satisfied. However, considering the friendship they had developed over the years, he did not kill the person.
Of course, it may also be that he didn't want to leave any evidence of killing someone with his own hands.
"You will die in pain, Tony. It's a pity that you won't see the day when Stark Industries grows and prospers under my hands."
After saying that, Obadiah walked away.
After Tony recovered a little, he began to struggle forward. He still had an old reactor that could solve the immediate problem.
But after he took it off, he put it in a glass box as a souvenir and placed it far away. He suddenly realized that he might not be able to climb there in his current condition.
"If I had known, I would have designed the suit to be remote-controlled..." Tony's face was grim, it was because of the pain.
He now felt a little regretful that he did not have a few more reactors in reserve, so that when he wanted to use one now, he could only choose to use the old one.
As time went on, another serious problem began to appear before him. The electromagnetic generator in his chest cavity had lost its energy source and could no longer absorb the shrapnel approaching his heart.
If this continues, he may die from massive bleeding caused by a ruptured heart.
He began to feel despair, and at this moment, his savior came.
Someone turned him over, and Tony's eyelids were stung by the light. It took him a while to adjust and see the person's appearance clearly.
"Natalie?"
"I'm here to save you, Mr. Stark."
As she spoke, she loaded a brand new arc reactor onto Tony Stark's chest. She was very familiar with the process because she had done it once before.
Natasha tapped the new reactor on his chest and said playfully, "This new heart is very powerful. I believe you will be able to feel it soon."
A few minutes later, when Tony completely recovered from his powerless state, Natalie was no longer in sight.
He stood up quickly.
"Jarvis, call up the surveillance footage from the room!"
The AI quickly released the surveillance footage as he said, and Tony saw Obadiah walk into the house as if no one was around.
"Jarvis, Obadiah is forbidden from entering my private house from now on!"
"Ok sir."
Then, Tony saw Natalie following Obadiah like a ghost, watching him suddenly attack him.
At this moment, the brain that was originally bewitched by beauty suddenly occupied the high ground of IQ again.
"Jarvis, please investigate Natalie's personal information through the entire network."
Jarvis did as he was told, but Tony soon saw the problem.
"These resumes are so complete. From birth to school enrollment to employment, almost every step is clearly recorded in the system."
It is precisely because there is no flaw that it becomes a flaw.
In a country like the United States, information systems between states are often not interoperable, so it is inevitable that some information will be missed or erroneous. The missing information is actually what real information should look like.
The ones that have all the information neatly arranged and detail-oriented often have big problems.
Tony roughly guessed that Natalie might be from an official organization. Only an official organization has the ability to compile a person's information completely from scratch, even to the point of being flawless.
"FBI? Or CIA?"
Tony was a little unsure. He even wondered if Natalie might be from a foreign power...
At this moment, Jarvis suddenly sounded the alarm.
"What happened? Jarvis."
"Sir, satellites indicate a power armor has appeared in downtown Manhattan."
Tony was greatly surprised, but he soon remembered what Obadiah had just said, and his heart suddenly tightened.
"Jarvis, get the Mark 3 ready. Dressing will begin in three minutes!"
"Ok sir."
The Mark III suit was an improved model after Tony discovered that the Mark II would freeze when flying at high altitudes, but the other technologies were basically the same as the Mark II.
Going back to more than ten minutes ago, after Obadiah got the Ark Reactor, he couldn't wait to install it on his own suit. This armor, which was rebuilt by the collective wisdom of his trusted subordinates, was named "Iron Overlord".
It follows the basic design concept of the first-generation Mark battle suit, but in order to enhance firepower, the size has become larger and the armor plate has become thicker.
From a distance, it looks like an iron version of the Hulk, which is intimidating.
The other technicians in the weapons department did not have as much talent as Tony Stark, and could only pile up as much firepower as possible within the framework of his design, which is why the Iron Monger was made so bloated.
But its arsenal clearly surpasses Tony's suit, making it a veritable war machine.
After installing the arc reactor, Iron Monger seemed to come alive instantly. The eyes on the visor flickered with light, and the chest cavity opened, revealing a cockpit that could accommodate one person.
Obadiah couldn't help but sit in it, and then completed the fusion with the help of the intelligent control system.
Although the human-machine interaction between Obadiah and Iron Monger is far worse than that between Tony and Jarvis, this armor still allows Obadiah to taste the "power".
"This is power~!"
Obadiah was in the Iron Monger, enjoying this illusory power, a power completely different from money and power, and it was even more fascinating...
He savored the feeling to the fullest and was reluctant to take it off for a long time.
