NOVEL NEXT Chapter 57 - war machine
On the dilapidated streets of Russia, several men in suits and leather shoes sneakily glanced around, and then knocked on the iron door in a narrow alley.
However, several people knocked for a long time, but there was no response.
The leader was smoking a sturdy cigar and squeezed a question between his teeth:
“Are you sure, that person lives here?”
“Yes, after our careful investigation, his father’s cancer is at an advanced stage, and he can’t support it anymore. And he would come back from the convenience store 400 meters away every afternoon with a piece of bread, a piece of salted fish, A bottle of wine and occasionally a packet of bird food.”
“Is that so…”
The leader thoughtfully exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth, and then slammed the door again.
“Is Anton Vanke at home? I’m the president of Stark Group, Obade! Came from the US to meet an old friend!”
The iron door suddenly opened, and Ivan Vanke stood at the door.
I saw him in the shape of a savage, with disheveled hair, all kinds of tattoos and iron rings on his skin, and a hint of disdain in his vigilant expression.
He turned his face sideways and stared at them indifferently.
Obadeh stretched out his right hand, trying to be friendly.
“Hello, you should be little Ivan, I’m the president of Stark Group, Obadi. Is your father at home?”
Ivan Vanke didn’t extend his hand, but coughed abruptly.
Before Opadry could react, a mouthful of thick phlegm landed on his hand.
“Bastard.” He heard the other person say that.
“Bold!” “You dare to provoke the Stark Group?” “Hurry up and apologize!”
The accompanying bodyguards shouted loudly.
With their right hands on their waists, the atmosphere in the alley suddenly became tense.
But Obadi stopped them.
Resisting his nausea, he wiped his hand on the gray suit worth tens of thousands of dollars.
“Last time I saw you, you were a little beanie, Ivan. Why didn’t you invite us in and sit down? Your father and I are old friends, we haven’t seen each other for decades. His hatred is Si. Tucker’s man, not me!”
Ivan Vanke looked sarcastic.
Just as he was about to close the door directly, there seemed to be a weak call coming from the room.
After Ivan heard it, he stopped in silence.
Then, he opened the door and gave up a seat.
“Come in, scumbag.”
……
Los Angeles, West Coast, Tony’s villa.
On the first floor of the basement, Tony Stark fought back his nausea and drank a glass of chlorophyll juice.
“This disgusting thing, how long do I have to drink to recover?”
“At the moment, if you don’t give up wearing your combat uniform for a while, the symptoms of palladium poisoning will not be significantly relieved.”
“As long as I continue to use the Ark Reactor, will the symptoms worsen?”
“Yes, sir, I suggest that you temporarily abandon the use of the Mark armor until you find a substitute for palladium…”
“Shut down!!!”
Noticing that Pepper Pepper was walking down, Tony hurriedly motioned Jarvis to mute.
He stood up and made a hug gesture.
“Good evening, what’s the catch, Pepper?”
“The news I brought may disappoint you, Tony.” Pepper held a document in his hand: “Mr. Stein’s computer is very clean and has no suspicious records.”
“Well, I don’t know whether to call this result lucky or bad.”
“But, oddly enough, Mr. Roddy sent an e-mail to your encrypted mailbox, and the content is very surprising.”
“Roddy? Let’s talk about it.”
“According to the content of the email, the group had reached a huge deal with the US military in Afghanistan. However, the strange thing is that the amount of this transaction did not appear on the group’s books, but was faked elsewhere. High bids are wiped out.”
“Interesting, so it is true that someone is behind our backs and secretly selling Stark Group’s weapons?” Tony Stark muttered while holding a half glass of chlorophyll juice.
Pepper glanced at the document in his arms and continued: “Not only that, after you ordered the closure of the group’s weapons department, a large number of private transactions continued, and the weapons we sealed were constantly flowing out through the military’s channels. Currently Look, I’m afraid your suspicions are correct.”
“Obadai…” Tony threw the cup in his hand into the trash.
Obviously, after he repurchased most of the company’s shares that were scattered outside, he still had the ability to carry him behind his back, and only the prestige Obadiah Stein was the one who made trouble in the group.
At this moment, Pepper noticed his haggard look.
“Tony, are you okay? Why do you look so bad?”
“It’s nothing,” Tony quickly shied away: “I’m drinking chlorophyll juice, the latest health care product. It is said that it can make people more stamina and last longer.”
“Chlorophyll juice? Indeed, your complexion does look a little green. Is there anything else to do?”
“Yes. You let Roddy come over, I need to give him something.”
Roddy came quickly.
Just twenty-five minutes later, the doorbell rang outside Tony’s mansion.
In fact, since Tony Stark’s Mark II suit was discovered by the military, all matters concerning him have been raised to the highest level.
Otherwise, those abnormal arms sales about the Stark Group would not have flowed into Roddy’s hands so easily and transferred to Tony’s mailbox.
Befriending Tony Stark and giving up Obadiah Stein who failed to seize power~www.mtlnovel.com~ has become the consensus of the military leaders of this faction.
The military must have a share of this steel armor technology!
So, after sending the mail, Roddy has been waiting somewhere in Los Angeles for Tony’s call.
“Roddy, the speed at which you appeared at my door was beyond my expectations.”
“Because I know the importance of that email, it looks like someone is a shameful traitor, doesn’t it?”
“I’m not sure. Without 100% evidence, I won’t jump to conclusions.”
“However, for the military, as long as there is a 50% chance, it should be taken directly. We have already grasped the specific location of Stan. As long as you want, he will never be able to set foot on the flight back home again.”
Rhodey’s expression was flat, as if he was just asking if he wanted chocolate.
Tony Stark was stunned. Then he shook his head vigorously, as if to get the proposal out of his mind: “No, I didn’t come to you for this. Come with me!”
He took Roddy up the elevator and went all the way down to the basement.
This is the garage of the villa, which was also transformed into a studio by him.
In the room, two steel battle suits are standing quietly.
The two Mark II suits are different from the original plot.
Because of Nolan, Tony healed the wound on his chest early.
Therefore, the Mark suits that were subsequently manufactured were designed with the reactor outside the reactor.
“Wow!” Roddy touched the silver-white armor obsessively: “What a beautiful girl!”
“Do you want it?”
Tony Stark asked, taking a pot of chlorophyll juice handed over by the robotic arm.
Roddy stood still: “Brother, are you serious?”
