Chapter 25
Obadiah had never have thought that although it looked like Lu Yuan would betray Tony and steal his most important thing in exchange for money, but in fact, Lu Yuan was far more clever than this. He had already discussed with Tony to cheat him together.
Lu Yuan got the blueprint from Tony, and now that he was about to close the net, he had even asked Tony to build a small Ark reactor.
Lu Yuan wanted to give it to Obadiah as a gift.
“Don’t forget to create an inferior version. It’s best if it only has half of the energy and it could blow up.” Lu Yuan had a bad idea.
As mentioned earlier, the full name of the Ark Reactor should be the Palladium Ark Reactor.
Why was the palladium element so important? Because palladium could undergo nuclear fission.
To put it more bluntly, it was a f**king nuclear battery.
Why could such a small thing have such a large amount of energy? This was the nuclear energy we’d been talking about. It was a nuclear battery.
What do you think would happen if this thing suddenly ‘blew up’?
Even if it was not as good as a nuclear bomb, it was pretty much the same.
Suddenly, Tony was at a loss. Big brother, this is New York. Are you sure this is really feasible?
At least Tony wouldn’t dare to do this.
That’s why Lu Yuan was not wrong. Stark Industries was carrying a golden rice bowl to beg for food. Howard had already paved the way 30 years ago. It was a pity that Howard didn’t live until now. Otherwise, what about Obadiah? What about Tony? Could he still show off? He would just be in the way of a genius.
Tony was a genius, but compared to his father, he was still a bit inferior.
However, there was no if in the world.
This also explained why Obadiah’s group could not recreate it. They knew that this was the nuclear reactor that Howard had developed when he was researching nuclear weapons.
This thing was not something that could be easily reproduced. Otherwise, the entire world would be a nuclear world.
Lu Yuan had already said that he needed Obadiah to jump out of the water and that he needed him to take the initiative to tear his mask.
That was why he didn’t hesitate to help Obadiah and gave him the blueprints. He even suggested the creation of the Iron Monger. Now only the last step was left, but there was no Ark reactor.
He could just give it to him because Tony could easily make it, and his end was just around the corner, anyway.
Tony did not know whether he should laugh, become angry or feel sad. Obadiah would never have thought that his every move was planned by Lu Yuan for him. Now, Lu Yuan was calculating his next step.
“Won’t he be suspicious?” Tony asked. He wondered if Obadiah wouldn’t be suspicious at all?
“Then let him see its power.” Lu Yuan was not worried at all. He pointed at Tony’s armor and said, “Do you still remember the people who attacked you? Don’t you want revenge at all?”
Tony understood. It turned out that he had also not escaped Lu Yuan’s grasp. He was also Lu Yuan’s pawn.
However, when Tony thought about it, Lu Yuan seemed to be right. He had been attacked by someone of unknown origin and almost died in that desert. How could he forget about it?
He also understood Lu Yuan’s meaning and purpose. Since it was very likely that those people had been instructed by Obadiah to ambush and attack him, it meant that they must have colluded.
Once he came out and defeated those people, he could indirectly show Obadiah the strength and potential of this suit.
This would make Obadiah more anxious and he would pay more attention to the development of his suit.
However, Obadiah could not figure out how to recreate the ark reactor that he needed so he could not obtain the new energy source.
Without energy, everything was useless.
An iron Monger without energy was just a lump of iron.
Tony, who understood all this, couldn’t help but say, “It looks like you are going to make a fortune again.”
Lu Yuan smiled smugly. “I can’t help it. I need to have money to survive. I have to eat good meals after all. Besides, after Obadiah died, wouldn’t all of his shares will be yours? You will be the biggest winner.”
Died?
Tony was taken aback.
Lu Yuan nodded without any hesitation. “He must die. Even the information about the Iron Monger must be destroyed before it could be obtained by the United States and other powers. Could it be that you don’t know how great a change this thing can bring? Once the United States obtains it, the world will be finished.”
Even if he was a newcomer, Lu Yuan, who had just arrived in this world, knew that the United States was too much.
This was especially true for Tony. He had previously gone to the desert to sell weapons to the big shots of the military in the United States, but that area did not belong to the United States.
They were breaking into someone else’s homes and causing endless chaos.
Lu Yuan did not want to talk about all of this, nor could he say anything.
Tony was also a smart person. He obviously knew the consequences. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have firmly controlled the technical secrets of Iron Man armor.
The moment a war of steel armors started in this world, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“That’s why he has to die.” Lu Yuan announced Obadiah’s fate.
From the moment Obadiah got the blueprints of the first generation Mark armor and started developing the Iron Monger, he was destined to die.
These things could not be obtained by the higher-up people, and they were absolutely not allowed to spread.
Some people might naively think that it was enough to expose Obadiah’s evidence and arrest him.
They shouldn’t be so silly. Who was Dr. Zola? Not only was he the most powerful subordinate of Red Skull, but he was also one of the higher-ups of Hydra. He was even the enemy of the United States.
But didn’t S.H.I.E.L.D. recruit him?
Believe in the United States? It was better to trust a pig.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Lu Yuan had already decided that Obadiah would be killed by him.
It wasn’t just money. Lu Yuan was even prepared to take his life.
Tony fell silent. Obadiah was his father’s friend. He was also the person who treated him best after his parents passed away. He was also his mentor and friend.
After so many years, he was suddenly told that the mole beside him was Obadiah? Was it he who wanted to kill him?
For a while, Tony couldn’t accept it.
“I knew it,” Lu Yuan said as if he had already expected this. “I knew you would be like this. That’s why I didn’t want to tell you from the start. Why don’t you just do what I told you? You don’t have to worry about anything else. I know you won’t be able to bear it, so wait for him to take the initiative to attack you before you fight back.”
“If Obadiah doesn’t want to die, no one will kill him. All of it depends on his own luck.”
Tony nodded. That was all he could do.
