American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 32 Contradictions, Intensification, Behind the Scenes
The Malibu villa belongs to Tony's underground laboratory.

"You said, this was given to you by Ina Sandra?" Tony Stark, who was resting at leisure, turned the black USB flash drive in his hand, and saw that he was still wearing a cocktail dress in front of him, and came in a hurry Pepper Potts asked suspiciously.

Pepper Potts nodded, and after handing her the USB flash drive, Ina Sandra left the reception not long after. While thinking about it, Pepper conjectured: "She should know that I I will attend the reception, and I specially got the invitation letter for the reception beforehand."

"She said she can only show it to me, and only the two of us know about this USB drive?" Tony Stark asked again.

"Yes."

"This is to tell me, is someone watching me?" Tony Stark quickly had a speculation in his mind: "After that, has anyone approached you, Pepper?"

Pepper Potts thought about it again, and shook his head affirmatively: "After I got this USB flash drive, I returned here quickly under the protection of Happy. But," Pepper suddenly remembered something, and continued : "I said goodbye to Obadiah when I left. He asked what Yi Na talked to me about, and I just responded with a few words."

Tony Stark thought about it.

After waiting for a while, Pepper looked at Tony Stark who was contemplating with the USB drive, and couldn't help but ask, "What's in it?"

"Just look at it." Tony was awakened from his contemplation by Pepper's voice. He stood up, took the USB flash drive to his workbench, inserted the USB flash drive through an excuse, and ordered Jarvis to read data stored in it.

Inside is a record of arms transaction orders, especially in the recent period before Tony Stark was kidnapped, the kidnapper named Ten Rings who kidnapped Tony had a flow of arms orders with Stark Industries.Of course, the price of the batch of arms orders on the record, in Tony's view, was much lower than its actual value.

"I don't know these things." Pepper Potts covered his mouth in surprise as he looked at the order records posted one by one.Even though she, as Stark's assistant and representative in the company, helped him understand all the information related to the company, she was sure that she had never seen the order record above.

"You are just an assistant, Pepper. The information you can access is all available on the surface. Of course, they will not let you know the real secrets of the company easily." Tony Stark's face was calm: " Even me, aren't they hiding it?
This order record, that kid Luke is trying to tell me that someone in my company wants to get rid of me!The status is high and the power is great. At least without me, he or they are sure that they can settle everything and get the biggest benefit.The turmoil on the board of directors these days may have been caused by them. "

"A person with this identity, who is the most suitable and the most likely?"

Tony looked at Pepper, and the two said a name together: "Obadiah Stanislav."

After saying the name, both Tony and Tony showed shock on their faces at the same time.

"Clap clap clap!"

A burst of applause came down from the stairs of the underground laboratory, and the two of Tony raised their heads, only to see Obadiah Stanislav in a black suit walking down with a smile on his face.

"You've finally grown up, Tony." Obadiah sighed at him.Tony and Pepper raised their hands under the guns of the two men, standing still and not daring to move.

"Why?" There was a rare sadness in Tony's eyes. Since his father passed away, he really regarded Obadiah and Jarvis as elders.Jarvis left early, and Tony created an intelligent system named Jarvis as a memory. However, now, another person in his heart who is regarded as a relative and elder seems to be away from him to some extent. Gone.

"Why?" Obadiah approached, and opened a miniature pocket sonic nerve weapon in his hand. He took a step forward and supported Tony Stark, who was in a state of nervous disorder under the action of the weapon and could no longer control his limbs. Sit back gently. "You're still naive, Tony. Why ask why?

You are so smart, don't you think you can't think of it?
For Stark Industries of course!For profit!This company was founded by me and your father Howard. I have been assisting him since his time, and then I will assist you again when it comes to you.I don't think it's fair.Stark Industries should be mine!Without me, it wouldn't be where it is today.

It was I who sold the technology of both of you father and son, and it was my connections that led to the development of Stark Industries.However, everyone only remembers Howard and Tony. Is this fair?
Why can't you die at the hands of the kidnappers?

Why are you running away?

Perhaps, the reason God let you escape is to send this thing on your chest to me. "

With that said, Obadiah Stane removed the reactor on Tony's chest under Tony's absent-minded and Pepper's horrified gaze.

Carefully put the temporarily paralyzed Tony on the ground, and Obadiah stood up and looked down at Tony lying on the ground: "I want to thank you for giving me the white list, otherwise it would be a little troublesome to come in quietly .Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, you just died from your own injuries. As for you," Obadiah pointed to Pepper Potts, "I won't do anything to you here either Rough, after all, this is not a good place to do it. But you can choose to kill yourself after Tony's death. Don't worry, my people will help you. Take her away and deal with it elsewhere."

Obadiah waved his hand to the hands behind him, and Pepper Potts just let out a scream before being covered over his mouth and dragged out.

"Goodbye, Tony."

Obadiah stretched out his finger on his forehead to greet Tony Stark, then turned and walked away without hesitation.

……

"Sir, you asked me to monitor Tony. Just now Obadiah brought someone into the villa, and now he has come out, but things have become a little troublesome. I think I need some support from Tony." In the darkness in the distance, Cole Sen looked at Pepper Potts, who was taken away by Obadiah in an abnormal state, and picked up the phone in his hand to keep in touch with him, and briefly talked about the situation.

"Your mission is to see if Tony Stark is dead. On the other side, you don't need to worry." Nick Fury's calm voice was transmitted through the speaker, giving Phil Coulson an order.

……

"I have handed over the USB drive to Pepper Potts within Obadiah's sight." Ina Sandra said to Luke after returning to Hyperion Technology.

"Very well done." Luke was wearing his own prototype at this time, and next to him was a projection screen, in which Pepper Potts, who was being held hostage, and the boy who was about to arrive at Stark Industrial fleet.

"You deliberately leaked information about the investigation of Obadiah and Stark's private arms orders, arousing Obadiah's hostility and vigilance, just for today's scene?" Ina Sandra looked at Luke strangely. glance.
