The Iron Monger's speed of descent became faster and faster, faster and faster, just as it was about to hit the ground, its energy and operating system suddenly came back online.
Flames erupted, and the Iron Monger, having just stabilized after escaping disaster, hadn't even had time to celebrate when Iron Man, descending from the sky, directly stepped on him and smashed towards the ground.
"Bang!"
There was a loud crash.
In an instant, the ground trembled, dust flew, and smoke dispersed.
"Whew..." Mr. Samuel gently blew, directly dispersing the smoke and dust that hadn't yet wafted over.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle — Sizzle sizzle sizzle —"
"Bang!"
The Iron Monger's energy reactor exploded with a roar under Iron Man's azure energy impact.
The damaged armor revealed the bloody and blurry Obadiah inside, he was already dead, completely dead.
Tony Stark opened his mask, looked at Obadiah with a complicated expression, and turned to walk towards Samuel.
"Thanks!"
If it weren't for Samuel trading the armor in advance, and if he hadn't held off the Iron Monger while he changed armors, it would have been much harder for him to win!
In fact, in the movie, he also won a narrow victory, almost a one-for-one exchange at the limit.
If it weren't for Pepper Potts's assistance, using the overload of the Stark Industries reactor to electrocute him, causing him to fall into the reactor and trigger an explosion, the final outcome would have been hard to say.
Samuel held up two fingers towards him, then placed Pepper Potts down from the tank.
"The show's over, I'm leaving."
As his voice fell, Samuel had already disappeared.
Tony Stark pouted, he knew what Samuel meant by holding up two fingers.
He owed him two favors!
One was the favor of saving his life, and the other was the favor of helping him, these two favors would be hard to repay...
Tony Stark's gaze turned to Pepper Potts, and a bold idea suddenly came to him.
"Pepper, you like him, right?"
Pepper Potts was startled, then openly nodded and admitted it.
"Since you like him, you will be the CEO of Stark Industries from now on."
???
Pepper Potts looked bewildered, 'Does my liking Samuel have anything to do with me being the CEO of Stark Industries?'
"Mr. Stark, this joke isn't funny!" Pepper Potts said.
Tony Stark smiled and said, "This isn't a joke!"
"I trust you, and you have the ability to manage the company well, and most importantly, given your current relationship, I can't possibly keep you as my personal assistant, can I?"
But... but I was originally planning to resign after finding a new personal assistant!
Pepper Potts was a bit hesitant, just about to state her intentions.
