Marvel: Spider-Man? No, I'm Superman!

"Shocking, Oscorp's gene lab raided, the person in charge Professor Curt Connors under close surveillance. Rumor says the sudden monster..."

Early next morning after arriving at his office, the first thing Obadiah saw was the front page headline in the newspaper.

"Oscorp? Hmph, dare to compete with me for military contracts, now facing retribution right?"

The instant Obadiah saw this news, he felt extremely delighted in his heart.

Although Tony Stark's disappearance was kept secret from the public, the national top officials were fully aware of it.

Therefore, with the genius weapons developer gone, Stark Industries' influence with the military plummeted instantly.

Yet somehow, this Oscorp seemed to have gotten insider news, and was in close contact with the military to soon secure a major long-term cooperation order, taking advantage of Tony Stark's disappearance.

"Luckily, we didn't come away with nothing. Although at some cost, we finally succeeded in cooperating with the government to participate in the disaster relief and reconstruction project."

Although Tony's disappearance weakened Stark Industries' influence at high levels, for Obadiah, it was a good chance to completely control the company.

Moreover, despite this "disaster relief and reconstruction" project looking like a loss deal, in reality, there would be unexpected gains from it.

"Contact all key personnel and shareholders of the company. I'm holding an important meeting in half an hour."

After instructing his secretary, Obadiah put down the phone. Thinking of the special acquisition from this cooperation, he couldn't help an extremely excited smile appearing on his face.

...

Half an hour quickly passed.

The enormous conference room was already filled with people dressed in suits and ties, looking like successful professionals.

And most of these people were high-level executives and shareholders of Stark Industries.

"Mr. Stane, you suddenly called us here, what important matter do you have to announce? Don't tell me something happened to the company?"

With everyone present, but seeing Stane sitting in the boss' chair with his back facing them, still not turning around, finally a shareholder couldn't help but ask in a worried tone.

As shareholders, they naturally also heard some bad rumors about Stark Industries.

"Hm? Seems like this gentleman doesn't have much confidence in our company's prospects. In that case, I'll take those shares off your hands. Don't worry, I'll give you the highest market price."

Without even turning around, Obadiah slowly spoke in an oppressive tone.

"Oh, Mr. Stane, I didn't mean that..."

This shareholder naturally would not readily give up his shares.

"Sorry, you're no longer a shareholder of the company, so you can't participate in this meeting."

Right after Obadiah finished speaking.

Two burly men in black suits and shades who had been waiting outside strode into the conference room. Ignoring the shareholder's protests, they directly dragged him out forcibly.

"Now, I announce Stark Industries' biogenetics lab is established starting today."

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"

Slowly turning around, Obadiah slowly spoke his decision in a firm tone.

"Mr. Stane, why are you suddenly establishing..."

As CEO secretary, Pepper naturally also had the right to attend this high level meeting. But before she could even ask her question, Obadiah directly cut her off.

"Congratulations Ms. Potts. On Tony's behalf I approve paid leave for you for half a year. You can temporarily stop participating in company affairs."

"So, does anyone else have questions?"

Seeing his stance, the others naturally did not dare raise any objections. It was just establishing an ordinary biogenetics lab after all.

"Hmph, know your place!"

Obadiah's face revealed an affable smile, but he coldly snorted in his heart.

...

At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building, Director Fury's office.

"So it's been almost half a month since Tony Stark disappeared, and you're telling me you still have absolutely nothing, are my S.H.I.E.L.D. agents all useless?"

Fury's pitch-dark complexion became even uglier at this moment.

Nearly half a month had passed, and they still had not found any clues about the missing scientists, as if they had vanished from Earth.

"Sorry Director, we've searched secret locations all over the world, and even sent agents to that backward farming country Wakanda in Africa to investigate."

"But still nothing up to now. However, we've started searching the polar regions of Earth now. If we still can't find anything about the scientists there, then I'm afraid..."

Agent Hill's expression was also unsightly now.

To search for the missing scientists, they had mobilized over ten thousand low-level agents all over the world for extensive searches.

Yet there was no progress at all. Instead, during the search they got the bad news that other labs had been emptied out again.

"Director, although we haven't found any evidence yet, my intuition tells me this is definitely related to him. Should we focus our efforts on..."

"Impossible. It was proposed by the President, and agreed by all countries led by the UN, that no nation or organization can investigate anything about him."

If Hill could feel it, how could Fury as the Director not sense it?

But, not to mention they had no evidence, even if they did, what use would it be?

His status on Earth now was like the "ancestor" of all nations. Every country had to appease him, otherwise, no one could guarantee he wouldn't replay what happened on the moon somewhere on Earth.

No one wanted an entire tier 1 city in their country to be completely wiped out overnight.

"Forget it, continue investigating this, but as for the final outcome..."

To be honest, Fury didn't have much hope left.

Ding ling ling...

"You can just take it here. I want to see if anything big will happen again this time."

Fury continued speaking toughly like last time.

"Hello, this is Hill. What did you say? Another scientist disappeared? Professor Connors, who was under close surveillance by police?"

"Alright, as expected more bad news."

Fury already knew it was more bad news without Hill's report.

"Director, Professor Connors is missing..."

Ding ling ling...

Just as Hill hung up the call and was about to report to Fury, her phone rang again.

"You go and take it outside."

As Hill's phone rang again, Fury's originally firm tone suddenly changed, even as the Director he couldn't take getting slapped in the face in front of his subordinate twice in a row.

"Yes, Director."

Hill forcefully held in her laughter and quickly walked out of the office to take the call.

But the instant she had just left the room, she suddenly reopened the door, no longer walking leisurely. Her previously calm complexion was also filled with shock now.

"Director, they said they discovered..."
