Beauty Man's Myriad Hearts

Stark had no memory of that wonderful evening with Maya Hansen in Switzerland two years ago.

Even if he remembered, he would only be impressed by Maya Hansen, and he would not think that the down-and-out long-haired man he had never cared about would actually turn himself into the chairman of Osborne in about two years. .

The world is so wonderful.

Life fell to the bottom, and Killian, who dreamed of setting sail, met the fledgling David, and then completed the primitive accumulation at the fastest speed, and became a high-ranking person with the same status as Tony Stark.

Moreover, when Stark Industries is facing difficulties, it can stand up without any scruples and step on it.

Only one word "cool" is enough to describe it.

Killian saw the netizens exuding vicious comments every word. Even though he knew that these netizens included the trolls called by David, his heart felt like he was in a scorching desert, drinking down a bottle of ice water in one gulp. , with a coolness all over his body.

"Tony Stark, this is just the beginning!"

He muttered to himself and smiled.

……

"I want to compete!"

Tony pushed open the door of Obadiah's office angrily, his face flushed, and his eyes were filled with extreme anger: "Oba, I don't want to hear your reasons, I just tell you, I must participate! "

"Do not."

Obadiah has some awareness of the public opinion on the Internet, knowing that this must be David Fisk's method, and flatly refused: "No matter what happens, Tony, as long as you don't participate, Stark Industries You can stabilize the situation, but once you play, things can get out of hand."

"It's fine if you win, but..."

At the end of the sentence, he didn't finish speaking, and Tony in front of him already understood what Obadiah meant.

"You think I'm going to lose?"

Tony asked back, suppressing the anger on his face, the big explosion in his inner world swept away, making his body tremble slightly.

Sometimes, if you don't talk openly and leave some room, everyone can feel at ease and be a tortoise.

But once the words are spoken, there is no room for half a point.

Tony was furious. Where has he suffered such insults in this life?

He felt that he had been aggrieved before, and it was a sacrifice he could make to let Stark Industries stabilize the situation.

Completely changed my mind now.

Even if Stark Industries is gone, he is still a top rich man, at most from the richest man in the world to one of the top ten richest people in the world.

That being the case, why must he be wronged?

What's the point?

"Even if I talk about breaking the sky today, I will not agree to let you participate in this fighting competition."

Obadiah was equally determined, and said in a deep voice: "Tony, you are 31 years old, you are no longer a child, you need to be more mature. Stark Industries is not only the hard work of your father, but also countless people like me. , and finally turned it into a towering tree! I will not let you mess around like this!"

"I am the chairman of Stark Industries!"

Tony ignored it, his eyes were almost bloodshot, and he was gnashing his teeth. The thought of those vicious comments on the Internet made him furious: "You can't stop me!"

"You are indeed the chairman, but you are even more a mascot!"

Obadiah completely lost his patience. With a "bang", he slapped the table and stared, and said coldly: "You have never managed the company for a day, and I am the helm of the company! Tony, you can go out and ask, what do they listen to?" Whose words."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Tony was like a cock whose neck was pinched, and he couldn't make a sound anymore. He froze on the spot and looked at Obadiah in front of him. Another person was changed.

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

Tony took a deep breath and regained his strength. Even the anger in his mind was dispelled by Obadiah's words. He stared at Obadiah in a daze, and said slowly: "In In this company, I should be the one who says nothing."

"Please."

Obadiah stretched out his hand and made a movement: "You can go and try, who else can you command besides Happy."

Declarative sentences, not interrogative sentences, show Obadiah's strong self-confidence.

For so many years, Tony Stark was so happy when he was a shopkeeper, how uncomfortable is the bitter fruit he is eating now.

Now that the power is completely delegated to Obadiah, he must learn to bear the consequences of being backlashed.

Obadiah is not mediocre.

With these years of secret efforts, Stark Industries has long been built into an iron barrel.

It can only be said that there is indeed a saying within Stark Industries.Not Tony Stark, though, but Obadiah Stane.

These words dissipated the anger on Tony's face, as if being poured by a basin of cold water, his eyes became slightly cold, he took a deep look at Obadiah, then turned and left without saying a word.

boom!

Before leaving, he slammed the door out.

Obadiah looked at the door blocking his sight, still sitting on the chair as firmly as Mount Tai, but there was anger hidden deep in his eyes, and an unstoppable thought kept growing in his heart.

Tony Stark, while a golden egg, is hard to handle.

If the situation continues like this, Stark Industries will inevitably become a joke again.

As for letting Tony and David go to the ring?

It's not that Obadiah looks down on Tony, but it turns out that even Norman Osborn, an old and cunning guy, can't beat David, let alone Tony, who has zero experience in power struggles.

In such a situation, the best brains are useless.

First you have to be able to fight.

As we all know, David is the superhero who personally suppressed the Hulk, and at the weapons expo not long ago, he rubbed Norman Osborn's Green Goblin on the ground.

Obadiah's self-confidence in Tony was completely wiped out in front of David's various achievements.

Although he knew that these words were almost equivalent to breaking with Tony, but if he didn't do so, Tony would definitely act recklessly and take the initiative to speak out and join the war.

At that time, Tony, who was really under David's hands, will be together with Stark Industries, and there is no room for recovery.

"Tony, I hope you can understand something."

Obadiah's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath, and shook off the complicated emotions in his mind.

After thinking for a while, he pushed open the door of the office and walked towards the practice field inside the Stark Industrial Building.

That's where Duke, the Mark II pilot, trained.

At this time, Tony was not here.

Obadiah didn't care either, he and Tony both had to calm each other down.

"Mr. Stanley."

At this time, Duke, who had just finished training with his comrades in special forces, saw Obadiah's arrival and took the initiative to say hello.

"How about it?"

Obadiah asked: "Confidence?"

"of course."

Duke patted his chest, full of confidence: "I'm already very skilled, and I won't let you and Tony down."

When the two were communicating, they suddenly didn't pay attention. A camera in the practice field was facing them.

Inside Stark Industries, a private laboratory.

Tony clicked on the artificial intelligence he had just invented and named "Jarvis" by himself, and pondered for a moment:

"Find out the employees at the Stark Industries headquarters building."

"3976 total, sir."

"Screen out those who have been in the company for less than ten years, and keep...weapon development department, personnel department..."

"There are 671 left, sir."

Tony clicked on the virtual screen and flipped through the materials of more than 600 people. Most of them just glanced at them, and only a few people read carefully.

But the more he turned, the uglier Tony's face became.

He was fully aware that Obadiah was not joking with himself, because what the latter said was true.

In the entire Stark industry, except for the name "Stark", there is no place related to "Stark". It would be better to say that it was renamed "Stani".

Tony still trusts Obadiah, but the sudden exposure of the cruel truth makes him a little at a loss and...extremely insecure.

Obadiah Stane, whom this newspaper regards as a real uncle with great confidence, has been digging his own roots.

Tony couldn't imagine what it would be like if one day, the person in charge of Stark Industries didn't have the surname Stark, but another name, Stanislav, or something else.

"damn it!"

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

boom! !

He slammed his fist on the table, and flames ignited in his eyes.

Anger mixed with grief.

His only relative in this world seems to be getting farther and farther away from himself.

"David!"

Tony blamed it all on David.

Even though he knew that this was not all David's fault, even without David, the rift between himself and Obadiah would expand one day in the future, but at least it would not come so fast and violently, No chance to react at all.

After the anger passed, Tony calmed down again.

What needs to be considered now is not only to save face and defeat David in a fighting match, but also to consider how to regain his own power from Obadiah.

……

the other side.

Of course, David didn't know that he was trying to make a fool of himself, but he hit the heart of Stark Industries all at once, exposing the existing rift between Tony and Obadiah in their eyes.

He didn't care about it at all, but turned his attention to another matter.

"Alexander Pierce is going to Osborn to visit Ross and inspect the nano armor?"

David muttered, a little surprised.

He suddenly remembered that after becoming Batman, suppressing Hulk, and then fighting Hellboy to stigmatize him, Hydra spy Jasper Sitwell had issued an invitation to himself on behalf of Hydra .

It was an invitation to meet Alexander Pierce, the leader of Hydra.

However, more than a month has passed.

That invitation never materialized.

Now it seems that it is almost the same.

After Alexander Pierce came to New York, the reason why he didn't send someone to tell him, but went to Osborne immediately in the name of visiting Ross and inspecting the nano armor, probably also had the idea of ​​​​observing himself at a close distance in advance.

"Alexander Pierce..."

After pondering for a while, David showed a sneer.

Obviously, Hydra's trust in itself is not as high as they say.

But also acceptable.

After all, David never really saw himself as a member of Hydra.

Everyone is using each other.

"Alexander Pierce is the minister of the World Security Council and has a lot of power. The World Security Council can almost be said to be his one-word, the kind that says one thing."

Wesley collected some information about Alexander Pierce through various channels.

He said: "I haven't heard of it so far. Alexander Pierce has friendship with Ross. However, at the level of these two people, it is very common to meet and know each other."

"But I'm worried that Alexander Pierce's sudden arrival is related to the fighting competition in the near future... If he, as the minister of the World Security Council, stands on the side of Stark Industries, we will be more passive."

Having said that, Wesley frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, Alexander Pierce won't do that."

David smiled, and got up suddenly after speaking.

"Where?"

Wesley was taken aback.

"Osborne."

David beckoned, signaling Wesley to hurry up, and said at the same time: "Since Alexander Pierce is here, as a big shot, we have to pay a visit."

"Is it a little too sudden?"

Wesley was surprised and felt that David's behavior was a bit inappropriate.

If such a high-level meeting is not notified in advance, it will often appear impolite to take the initiative to come to the door.

Especially when one's own side does not understand the real purpose of Alexander Pierce.

"Sudden?"

David laughed: "Maybe, but this is what I want."

"..."

Knowing David, Wesley always felt that his boss had something to say.

But as an employee, Wesley could only sit in the driver's seat honestly, kick the accelerator, and send David to Osbourne, which is not far from Fisker Pharmaceuticals.

……

Osborne gate.

Rose warmly received Alexander Pierce from the plane and came to Osbourne to visit him.

Of course, although the name is to visit himself, Ross knows it very well.

Alexander Pierce and himself are just nodding acquaintances, and the two have no redundant common language at all.

The real purpose of the former, apart from the nano armor, has almost no other possibility.

Sure enough, after a few pleasantries, Alexander Pierce got straight to the point.

"Can I see the nano armor?"

"of course."

Ross readily agreed.

The group then came to the practice field inside Osborne.

Here, Rhodes is battling soldiers of the Army's Rapid Response Unit, commanded by the abomination in the original plot, Emil Bronski.

Boom! !

Rhodes, who was wearing the nano armor, didn't use any other special means. Instead, he shot with real guns and live ammunition, knocking down the soldiers in front of him one by one. The movements were easy and seemed effortless.

Alexander Pierce's eyes shimmered as he watched.

Just about to talk.

Suddenly, a person came to Rose's ear, lowered his voice, and said a word.

Alexander Pierce's heart moved, and he narrowed his eyes for an instant.

No doubt he heard the words.

— Here comes David!
