Void Building.
Samuel's return was silent, without any fanfare.
In contrast.
Iron Man's return was earth-shattering, causing quite a commotion.
The future War Machine, Colonel James Rhodes, held a press conference regarding the crash of an F22 Raptor jet during a drill.
The drill was just a cover story to fool the public. The real reason was that Iron Man was discovered by the Air Force on his way back, and during the entanglement, one of the Raptor jets was destroyed by him.
At the same time, Colonel James Rhodes also issued an official response regarding the attack and annihilation of the Terrorists in Grami Town.
"We still don't know who the intervening force was, but I can assure You that the United States government was not involved."
Hmm, that's a rare half-truth!
...
Night, quiet.
Malibu Coast Villa.
The living room was brightly lit, and a piercing low-frequency sound wave rang out. Tony Stark, who had just connected a call from Pepper Potts, froze, his body instantly unable to move.
His phone was snatched away by a hand reaching out from behind. The veins on Tony Stark's face were as clear as centipedes, and his complexion turned bluish-purple at a visible speed.
"Relax, relax…"
Obadiah supported Tony Stark and slowly leaned him back on the sofa. In his hand, he held a miniature sonic device.
The device was small, but very deadly!
"Remember this thing? It's a shame the government didn't approve it back then, but temporary paralysis still has many uses."
Obadiah came in front of Tony Stark, took off his headphones, and spoke with some regret and some pride.
"When I wanted to kill You back then, I was very sad, afraid that I would be killing the goose that lays golden eggs."
"See? You were able to survive, it was destined, because You still have to lay the last golden egg."
Obadiah took out a claw-like device and aimed it at the Arc Reactor on Tony Stark's chest. Amidst his painful sounds, he took out the Arc Reactor.
The Arc Reactor was the last golden egg!
Tony Stark, who had just been wreaking havoc in the Terrorist Base not long ago, was like a discarded doll, unable to move, unable to make a sound, and even his life had begun to count down.
But his eyes were fixed on Obadiah.
Obadiah was completely fearless, the pride and arrogance on his face completely unconcealed.
"You think the ideas You come up with are yours? Your Father helped build the atomic bomb, but what would the World be like if he held onto it like You do?"
Looking at the glowing Arc Reactor in his hand, Obadiah murmured softly with a hint of intoxication: "It's truly beautiful, Tony, this is Your Ninth Symphony, a masterpiece."
"Look at it, this will be Your legacy. The core of the latest generation of weapons will be it."
"We can change the pattern of the World by dominating weapons, bringing the World back on track!"
After expressing a few emotions, Obadiah put the Arc Reactor into the box and boasted proudly again: "I really want You to see the prototype I built, my guy isn't as conservative as You."
"Oh, right, was that Pepper's call just now? It's really unfortunate You dragged Pepper into this, I really wanted her to live!"
With that, Obadiah picked up the box and prepared to leave.
"Uh… Pepper Potts is actually my person!"
A voice suddenly rang out in the quiet living room.
Obadiah was startled and turned his head abruptly, only to see a somewhat familiar man sitting beside Tony Stark without him knowing when!
Although Tony Stark, whose life had begun to count down, couldn't move, the corners of his mouth were working hard to show a smile.
The look in his eyes towards Obadiah seemed to say: You're finished!
"You are Samuel from Void Express? You, how did You get here?" Obadiah recognized his identity.
Samuel smiled and reminded him: "Does that still matter? You don't have much time left."
"You, You're not going to stop me?" Obadiah asked in confusion.
Samuel patted Tony Stark: "He will deal with You."
Obadiah glanced at Tony Stark, who was taking shallow breaths, snorted, and turned to leave.
Samuel looked at the unwilling Tony Stark and smiled, flipping his palm.
A brand new Arc Reactor appeared out of thin air.
Tony Stark was stunned, he, where did he get it?
"Hiss…" Tony Stark, who had the Arc Reactor installed, gasped sharply and grabbed Samuel's arm tightly: "You, when did You get it back from him?"
"You're talking about the Arc Reactor? This is mine, not the one Obadiah took from you."
Samuel lightly flipped his palm, and another Arc Reactor appeared out of thin air.
"It wasn't manufactured by me? How is that possible?"
Tony Stark was like a knife to the butt, his eyes were opened!
"Wait!"
Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly come to my house? Did Pepper notify you?"
Samuel shook his head, "I came to make a deal with you."
"What kind of deal?"
"Ten for one!"
Samuel said with a smile, "I want to trade ten Iron Man Suits exactly like yours for your Iron Man Suit."
???
When I type question marks, it's not that I have a problem, it's that you have a problem!
Ten Iron Man Suits exactly like mine for my Iron Man Suit?
I understand every word of this sentence, but when they're put together, I don't understand!
Leaving aside why you would have Iron Man Suits exactly like mine, you said they're exactly the same, so why do you still want to trade with me? And ten for one?
"Obadiah's Iron Monger weapon is richer and more powerful than your Mark 3, and now he has taken the Arc Reactor, solving the Iron Monger's energy problem."
"With one suit, you could easily crash and burn!"
"I can guarantee you that the Mark 3 suits I provide are exactly the same as yours, you could even say they're no different from the ones you made yourself!"
"I'll give you an Arc Reactor with each suit, how about it, want to trade?"
As Samuel spoke, he directly extracted a Mark 3 from the system.
Tony Stark's eyes went straight, it really did look exactly the same!
A moment later, Jarvis's voice sounded, "Sir, the suit has no issues."
Tony Stark looked at Samuel with a strange expression. He was certain that neither the Iron Man Suit nor the Arc Reactor existed before he made them!
The blueprints for the Mark 3 were also under Jarvis's strict safekeeping and could not have been leaked.
Where did Samuel's Iron Man Suit and Arc Reactor come from?
He developed them himself?
Alright!
Even if he had the ability to develop them himself, why would the Iron Man Suit he developed be exactly the same as his own, both in design and color scheme?
This doesn't make sense!
