Chapter 19: The anxious Obadiah
Obadiah’s office was also on the top floors, just one floor below Tony’s.
After pushing the door open, Lu Yuan entered his office.
Obadiah was already waiting for him.
The decoration in his office was still very exquisite. There was a large French window behind the desk, where you could stand and look at the distant scenery.
There were bookshelves and many other things around.
Lu Yuan took a casual glance and withdrew his gaze. He was not here to visit, and these were nothing compared to Tony’s luxurious office and villa.
Besides, his home in Krypton was more luxurious than this.
There was no need to mention the difference in technology. Planet Krypton from 100,000 years ago was enough to defeat the current Earth.
“Did you send this suitcase to me?” Obadiah stood up from behind his desk and pulled out the suitcase that Lu Yuan had sent him earlier and put it on the desk.
It seemed like he hadn’t opened it, but Lu Yuan was well aware that he had seen what was inside.
“What is this?” Obadiah asked.
Lu Yuan smiled and looked at the closed door behind him. He didn’t pretend anymore. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Furthermore, he crossed his legs and said straightforwardly, “Didn’t I tell you that I want more money?”
Obadiah hesitated for a moment, then he sat down. He was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he smiled and said, “Tony didn’t disappoint me. Is this the latest weapon he designed? That’s great. As long as it can be mass-produced, it can make a fortune for the company. Moreover, the country will also be more secure.”
Lu Yuan just smiled and did not say anything as he watched his performance.
Obadiah frowned slightly. Seeing how calm Lu Yuan was, he could not help but ask, “What? Didn’t Tony tell you to give me this blueprint?”
“Of course not,” Lu Yuan spoke without hesitation. He even kept his eyes wide open and said, “I’m here to ask for money.”
However, he was not lying because Tony really did not know that Lu Yuan was going to give this blueprint to Obadiah.
The only thing Tony knew was that there was a mole who was going to kill him, but he didn’t know that the mole was actually his father’s friend and his mentor, Obadiah.
I wonder how he will feel when he finds out.
This was why he did not inform Tony, otherwise, he would scare the snake.
“What do you mean?” Obadiah’s expression instantly turned gloomy as he angrily rebuked him, “How dare you steal something from the company? You are Tony’s bodyguard. Who gave you the courage to steal his things and sell them to me? What are your intentions? Aren’t you afraid I’ll put you in jail?”
His acting was really superb.
But Lu Yuan didn’t care at all. He just continued to look at Obadiah until he felt more and more uncomfortable. Then he said slowly, “Aren’t you afraid that Tony will know?”
Obadiah’s entire body trembled. This was the common problem of guilty people. They were always worried about being exposed.
Lu Yuan didn’t say anything else, but he began to mutter. Could it be that I have already been exposed?
No, that’s not possible.
Obadiah calmed down and roared, “I don’t know what nonsense you’re spouting. Hurry up and get out of here.”
Lu Yuan stood up and reached out for his suitcase to leave.
In the end, Obadiah still couldn’t hold back and put a hand on the suitcase.
Lu Yuan asked with a faint smile, “What do you mean?”
Obadiah raised his head, looked at Lu Yuan with a serious face, and asked, “Who are you?”
“You don’t have to worry about it. You just need to know that as long as you give me money, I’ll give you something,” Lu Yuan had a greedy expression on his face.
He didn’t say that he was a member of the Ten Rings, the enemies he met in the desert because he knew that Obadiah had a secret deal with those people. Obadiah was the one who told them to kill Tony. The moment he lied, he would be exposed.
Rather than acting like that, it was better for him to play the role of someone who only wanted money.
Obadiah continued to observe Lu Yuan and hesitantly asked, “What did you mean by your earlier words? What do you know?”
Lu Yuan shrugged. “Actually, both Tony and I don’t know anything.”
Obadiah almost vomited blood. Are you kidding me?
It was true. Lu Yuan knew that Obadiah was a villain because he knew the plot, but he did not have any evidence. He was just trying to trick him.
Obadiah had made a poor judgment because Lu Yuan was too confident. It was as if he knew the truth (because he knew the truth). That’s why he was tricked by him.
When he said that he didn’t know anything, Obadiah even had the impulse to kill him, and he was indeed cruel enough to do it.
When Lu Yuan saw that Obadiah was already showing signs of losing control, he knew that he couldn’t continue to stimulate him, so he changed his voice and said, “When Tony was attacked, all the weapons of the terrorists were from the Stark industries. Those people are the enemies of the United States. How come they have so many weapons from the Stark industries? Can you explain it?”
“And Tony’s trip that day was also a secret. How did the enemy ambush him and set the trap in advance? How did they just happen to attack Tony?”
“Tony really has no evidence, but he has begun to suspect that there is a mole in the company. So he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him and take full control of the company. Furthermore, who is the most suspicious person?”
Lu Yuan lowered his head. He was very tall, and Obadiah was still sitting there. His aura was so oppressive that Obadiah began to sweat.
Lu Yuan’s speculation was very simple. It could be summed up in a single sentence. After Tony’s death, who would gain the greatest benefit?
Needless to say, if Tony died, it would be equivalent to the extinction of the Stark family. Then it would be Obadiah who would have the opportunity to obtain the company and even swallow all of Tony’s assets and shares.
Did he still need to doubt why Lu Yuan would find him?
Lu Yuan deliberately knocked on the suitcase and said, “This is what he is preparing to deal with you. It is the combination of the latest type of weapons and the latest type of armor. Once he succeeds in developing it, he can rely on it to kick you out of the company. As for how to retaliate afterward, he can do whatever he wants.”
“No, he can’t do that,” Obadiah stood up.
Lu Yuan looked at him and knew that he was really anxious.
It was easy to trick others when they were anxious.
Lu Yuan opened the suitcase and took out a blueprint. He pointed at the first-generation Mark armor and reminded him, “When the time comes, new energy will be installed here. The weapons of the old era will be outdated and he would become the only leader of the Stark industries who would lead the Stark Group of industries to a new future. And you? You conservative and pedantic old guys will be eliminated.”
“And you should know that once Tony succeeds, what will he do with you?”
