Chapter 9: Iron Monger, Obadiah Stane

Because Tony was not here, Pepper immediately left and went to look for Tony to sign documents.

Lu Yuan was the only person left in the room. In the end, he put his feet on the desk and laid down on the back of the chair.

It looked like he was doing nothing, but Lu Yuan was actually plotting something.

For example, he used his super-hearing to hear even the slightest movement in the entire building. Even the slightest sound of a falling needle in a room with the best sound insulation could not escape his ears.

That was when he heard Tony’s conversation with Obadiah, a board member.

Obadiah Stane was one of the biggest antiques and chief executive of Stark Group of industries. He and Tony’s father, Howard Stark, established this company together.

As a result, Obadiah’s status and seniority in the company were very high. Especially after Howard died, and he became Tony’s mentor.

However, Lu Yuan knew the true face of Obadiah. Obadiah was the villain, Iron Monger. However, because Tony didn’t develop Iron Man armor, he hadn’t developed the Iron Monger yet.

Iron Monger was developed by copying the Mark Armor.

There was no Mark Armor right now. So no matter if it was Iron Monger, Obadiah, or Iron Man, Tony, there was nothing he could do.

However, this did not stop Lu Yuan from plotting something.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan knew that the mastermind behind Tony’s trap was Obadiah.

That’s right. Obadiah hired those terrorists. Both of them were secret trading partners. Obadiah sold his weapons to those people, and those people helped him deal with Tony.

As Tony grew more mature and displayed his talent, Obadiah realized he could no longer control him and his company anymore.

However, he was not willing to accept this. Obadiah had great ambition and thought that he built this company, so it should belong to him.

But he did not know his limits. From the very beginning, Howard’s mind and technology supported the company.

Now it was Tony’s turn.

From the beginning to the end, Obadiah was only a shareholder. He was only responsible for investing and making money. As for the core technology creator of the company, it was always a ‘Stark’.

He could not see this. He thought that as long as he could get the company, his future would be smooth sailing.

“How about I give him a hand?” Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes as if he had already thought of a plan.

Iron Man needed a different origin story and an opportunity to grow. No matter what, Obadiah was too suitable.

“Ah, I’m taking his money, so I should help him out. After all, I’m his bodyguard right now,” Lu Yuan told himself, without any sincerity. However, there was still a problem now, which was how to approach Obadiah.

Just then, Tony suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. After seeing Lu Yuan’s appearance, he leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed and said, “You still know that you are my bodyguard?”

He had never seen such a bodyguard before.

Lu Yuan calmly put down his feet and asked, “Can we go out to eat now?”

“Yes. Let’s go.” Tony shook his head. He could not do anything to him.

Then Lu Yuan stood up and followed Tony outside.

On the way out of the company, in Tony’s private elevator, Lu Yuan was surprised to see a bald old man.

“Hey Tony, is this the bodyguard who saved you?” The old man warmly hugged Tony’s shoulder and looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan looked at the man too, and suddenly, he smiled. It was Obadiah.

That’s right, this old man was Obadiah. He looked like a pleasant old man. Who would have thought that he had a vicious heart and even wanted to kill his friend’s son?

Tony did not know his true face, so he kept talking to Obadiah about Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan kept looking at Obadiah, wondering what he was thinking.

It was a pity that although Lu Yuan had many superpowers; he didn’t have the ability to read minds, at least not for the time being.

Obadiah felt strange and asked Lu Yuan, “Why do you keep staring at me?”

It turned out that Lu Yuan’s action was too eye-catching which caused Obadiah to feel strange.

“It’s nothing.” Lu Yuan acted as if nothing was wrong and said with a smile, “I just feel that we’re fated. Maybe we should have a chat sometime.”

Tony was surprised. He had always thought that Lu Yuan was a dangerous person, and even wanted to hang out a sign that said “Alien, Approach with Caution”.

Why did he look like a different person when he met Obadiah?

Tony did not understand Lu Yuan. Anyone familiar with him would know that Lu Yuan was trying to trick him.

But now he would not do anything, at least not in front of Tony.

It seemed like he was planning to pit Obadiah and Tony together, so he couldn’t do anything when they were together.

As they talked, they soon arrived downstairs.

Tony and Lu Yuan were about to leave after saying goodbye to Obadiah.

“Tony, wait for me,” Happy suddenly said and ran over.

Lu Yuan subconsciously raised his hand.

Happy immediately stopped in front of him. It seemed like Lu Yuan had already left a psychological scar on him.

“Do you want to try again?” This time, it was Lu Yuan’s turn to provoke him.

Happy shook his head. He was already a little fat, so the meat on his face fluttered back and forth. He did not dare to compete with Lu Yuan, no matter what. “I recognize your skills, but I won’t compromise my job as a driver, so I’ll drive.”

Tony, who was beside him, did not know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that Happy was only here to fight for the driver’s seat. Why was he acting so tough?

Lu Yuan spread his hands. There was nothing he could do. He did not have a driving license.

It would have been great if it had been a Kryptonian aircraft or an alien spaceship. The technology he had mastered was too advanced. How many years would it take for Earth to catch up?

Sometimes, being in a high dimension was not good, because many things at low altitudes could not be understood from far. It was as if humans were above ants, but could humans understand the world of ants?

Lu Yuan knew how to fly aircraft and spaceships, but he did not know how to drive. Even in his previous life, he did not have a driver’s license.

In the end, they could only take Happy with them.
