Chapter 32: Explaining the causes and consequences to Little Pepper
After that, Lu Yuan left, leaving the space downstairs to Tony and Little Pepper, so that Tony could decide how to explain this matter to Little Pepper
In fact, this matter was not complicated.
Little Pepper was very shocked to learn that the previous attack on Tony was designed by Obadiah.
In the beginning, Tony was also in a state of doubt, and he was not quite sure that it was Obadiah.
However, Obadiah had revealed his ambition with Lu Yuan’s step-by-step guidance and walked into the trap that Lu Yuan had prepared for him.
Furthermore, Tony had personally seen that the weapons used by the Ten Rings were from the Stark Industries.
Tony did not know that his company had made a deal with the Ten Rings. They were enemies of the United States, after all. How could he even do such a thing? Was he not afraid of being banned by the United States?
It was obvious that there was a mole in the company who had traded with the Ten Rings behind his back.
He was already certain that this person was Obadiah. Only Obadiah had the ability and qualifications to hide things about the company from Tony.
When Little Pepper heard all these facts, which showed that Obadiah was a bad person, as well as a reasoned argument, she felt a chill in her heart. She was also feeling wrong and sad for Tony.
Obadiah was someone that Tony had trusted the most. He was also Tony’s closest person.
“How could he do that?” Little Pepper did not understand.
“Money, power, status, reputation, and the company. No one thinks that these things are bad and no one feels that they’re too much,” Tony spoke and shrugged his shoulders while laughing at himself because he also felt that these things were good.
Little Pepper became silent.
However, she had no ambition, so she still felt that Obadiah’s actions were incomprehensible.
Was he making less money now?
Moreover, Obadiah’s position in the company is not inferior to Tony.
Why did he have to do this?
A person without ambition would never understand the behavior of an ambitious person.
Tony was clearly a treasure that could lay golden eggs.
However, this was not the case for Obadiah. He hoped to get the entire company. He hoped that he would lead the company and even make a deal with the United States.
But if Tony did not die, he would never be able to do it.
So, Tony must die.
Then the Stark Industries would become Obadiah’s property. He would even be able to change its name and make it his family business.
“Lu Yuan and I have already invited you to join us. We are only waiting for Obadiah to take the bait. But now I want to ask you to do me a favor,” Tony suddenly asked Little Pepper.
Little Pepper was surprised. Was there something she could do to help?
“As you heard earlier, Obadiah wants the energy source that is in my hands. This small ark reactor is something that Obadiah’s men can’t make, even with the palladium ark reactor in the company. If he wants to fight me, he can’t do it without this.” Since Tony had already planned to explain everything to Little Pepper, he did not hide anything.
He turned around and brought Little Pepper to the spot where Lu Yuan was sitting. Then he picked up a small ark reactor and showed it to Little Pepper.
It was not like he was boasting. Obadiah’s people really couldn’t do it.
This gave Lu Yuan a chance to trap Obadiah.
Obadiah had already paid one billion. He was not worried that Lu Yuan would be a liar. Lu Yuan would indeed help him steal the Ark reactor as he agreed.
In fact, this reactor was specially made for Obadiah.
However, Little Pepper didn’t know this, so she quickly reminded Tony, “Since you know that Obadiah’s goal is this, you should keep it well. You can’t let him steal it.”
Tony was very touched. Little Pepper’s first thought was to remind him to protect the important arc reactor.
However, he shook his head and said, “You have heard the conversation between Lu Yuan and Obadiah. In fact, this is part of the plan. We need to make him jump out voluntarily. Otherwise, we can’t do anything to him without any incriminating evidence at the moment.”
Apart from the weapons used by the Ten Rings, there was no evidence. But those weapons might drag Tony into it, and he would be destroyed by his own hands.
Therefore, this step was necessary.
“I specially prepared this ark reactor for him.” Tony looked down at the arc reactor in his hand, and his eyes became fierce.
This was an inferior arc reactor that was specially prepared for Obadiah. Its nuclear reaction was already showing signs of instability.
Of course, Obadiah wouldn’t be able to find it unless he had his scientists examine it, but they still wouldn’t be able to see it, because they could not make it after all.
Once this little thing exploded, its power and consequences would be terrifying.
After all, it had nuclear properties.
That was why Tony would not hide it. Instead, he would deliberately allow Obadiah to steal it.
Little Pepper revealed a thoughtful expression. She finally understood that Lu Yuan and Obadiah’s deal was just a drama.
That guy was too bad. He even calculated Tony.
“But how can I help you?” Little Pepper became suspicious because she did not know what Tony wanted to ask her to do, nor did she know what she could do to help him.
Tony suddenly grabbed Little Pepper’s hand with his other hand.
Little Pepper was startled. She was completely unprepared, so she subconsciously tried to free her hand.
Suddenly Tony said, “You are the only person I can trust.”
Her entire body trembled. She lowered her head and did not speak. Her hands had stopped moving.
However, this guy was lying. At the very least, Tony still trusted two people. One was Colonel Rhodes, and the other was Happy.
As for Lu Yuan, there was no need to mention him. Tony trusted him unconditionally, otherwise, he would not have discussed and completed the entire plan with him.
“That’s why I can only ask you for help, Little Pepper. Only you have the identity and reason to go to Obadiah’s office. I need you to help me copy all of his data from his computer,” Tony told her the mission.
Little Pepper was Tony’s assistant. If she walked around the company or directly went to Obadiah’s office, it would not seem too abrupt.
But Happy was different. Happy was Tony’s driver and ex-bodyguard. It wasn’t that Tony didn’t trust him, but the fact was that he couldn’t do this.
Tony took out a little device that he had already prepared beforehand. It looked like a USB drive and he handed it to Little Pepper. He told her that as long as she connected it to the USB port of the computer, it would automatically run, and hack into the computer and copy all the data.
What Little Pepper really had to do was very simple. She just had to wait for an opportunity to take this USB into Obadiah’s office and then bring it back.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan would help Obadiah steal Tony’s ark reactor.
Once this step was completed, then it would be time to start the hunt.
