Pepper was kidnapped by Obadiah Stane, and if one wanted to find out where she was held in the fastest way possible, the best method would undoubtedly be to directly interrogate Obadiah Stane, the mastermind.
With one foot on the Iron Monger armor, Lynn faced Obadiah Stane’s gaze, which seemed to want to devour him whole.
Lynn no longer wasted words and instead said to Laura, who was standing by, “Laura, is there a way to make him tell us where Pepper is being held?”
“No problem, I’ll weave a beautiful dream for him.”
Laura nodded gently at Lynn, then quickly waved her fingertips, and Obadiah Stane’s struggles gradually ceased.
His eyes, originally filled with anger and hatred towards Lynn, gradually softened, and his entire being became immersed in a wonderful illusion.
Within the constructed illusion, Obadiah Stane had killed Tony Stark and driven away all the old men on the board of Directors.
Finally, he successfully took over the entire Stark Industries.
“Lynn, he’s already lost in a beautiful dream.”
“Ask him where Pepper is being held!”
Hearing Lynn’s words, Laura nodded, then squatted in front of Obadiah Stane and softly asked, “Chairman, where is Ms. Pepper being held, and what should we do with her?”
Facing Laura’s inquiry, a hint of struggle gradually appeared on Obadiah Stane’s excited expression.
However, it quickly returned to normal.
It was rush hour, but the surrounding traffic was blocked by the Iron Monger in the middle of the road.
Watching everything happening in the middle of the road, many people instinctively pulled out their phones to record.
When Tony Stark flew over in his armor, the curious onlookers gasped in surprise.
Ignoring the people taking photos, Tony Stark anxiously came to Lynn’s side and said, “Lynn, Pepper…”
Lynn shushed Tony and looked at Laura.
Seeing Lynn’s gesture, Tony Stark, though anxious, quieted down.
A few seconds later.
Listening to Obadiah Stane reveal an address, Lynn Hall looked at Tony Stark and said, “Pepper is being held here. Do you want to go or should I?”
Facing Lynn’s question, Tony Stark was about to control his armor to take off.
Soon, he said to Lynn, “You’re the professional when it comes to rescuing people, Lynn. I’ll leave Pepper to you.”
“I’ll deal with Obadiah Stane!”
Looking at Tony Stark, who clearly wanted to go rescue her himself, but then suddenly changed his mind after his armor had already started to lift off.
Lynn nodded and said, “Alright!”
With that, Lynn directly had Barbara open a portal.
A few minutes later, in Washington, at Jessica’s engagement dinner.
“Director, something’s happened in New York.”
The aide came to James Duke’s side, handed Duke his phone, and said, “Tony Stark, wearing a mechanical prosthetic, is fighting Obadiah Stane.”
“Oh?”
Duke took the phone from the aide, glanced at it, then smiled and spoke to the people around him before getting up and leaving the dinner.
Back in his car, Duke watched the two armors fighting, then pulled out his phone and called Alexander Pierce.
Once the call connected, Duke chuckled and said, “Pierce, have you seen the battle happening in New York?”
On the other end of the phone.
Looking at the battle on his computer, which was being fully recorded by media on helicopters.
Alexander Pierce chuckled, “I’m watching it. This battle is truly spectacular, but the armor Tony Stark is wearing doesn’t look like the mechanical prosthetic he claimed it was.”
“This looks more like a highly threatening single-person weapon. If we could get our hands on this armor, then… hehe!”
Hearing Pierce say that, Duke also nodded, “I have to admit, Tony Stark, like his old man Howard, is a true genius.”
“It seems we need to pay more attention to him.”
“What about Lynn Hall? Isn’t he on very good terms with Tony Stark? Duke, maybe we can through…”
“I don’t think so!”
Before Pierce could finish, Duke directly interrupted, “Pierce, putting aside whether Lynn can get his hands on the armor, compared to Tony Stark’s armor, I think someone who can control the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation for us in the future is more important.”
“Besides, even without Tony Stark’s armor, it doesn’t affect the implementation of your plan.”
“But what if your plan fails? We still need to ensure power remains in our hands!”
Hearing Duke say this, Alexander Pierce frowned: “You still don’t favor Dr. Zola’s proposal…”
“Heh, just a fool defeated by Captain America. I admit he’s an excellent scientist, but…”
“Alright, Duke, then let Stern’s side convene the hearing. As for Lynn Hall, you need to speed up progress on your end too.”
“Don’t worry, the ‘delicacy’ is ready. After experiencing power and profit, he will make his choice!”
With that, Duke hung up the phone.
Putting his phone away, James Duke continued to watch the battle between the Iron Man armor and the Iron Monger.
Staten Island, inside an abandoned industrial park.
“Bang!”
“Bang bang!”
After a series of gunshots, the kidnappers who had abducted Pepper were easily eliminated by Lynn.
Polaris, who had originally been by Lynn’s side, ready to act, now looked at Lynn’s swift and decisive movements with a hint of envy.
Watching Lynn untie Pepper from the chair, Polaris whispered to Laura, “Laura, if I had such skills, then back at the orphanage…”
“Then let Lynn teach you!”
Looking at Polaris, Laura smiled and said, “We’re on his side now; he probably won’t refuse.”
Hearing Laura say this, Polaris thought for a moment, then nodded.
Removing the cloth stuffed in Pepper’s mouth, Lynn Hall used a dagger to cut the ropes on Pepper’s body: “Pepper, are you alright!”
“I’m fine, Lynn, please hurry and save Tony. Obadiah Stane used me to threaten Tony, he’s going to…”
Seeing her first request after breaking free was for him to save Tony.
Lynn smiled and comforted her, “Don’t worry, Tony will be fine for now. He asked me to come and save you!”
Hearing Lynn say this, Pepper finally breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s good he’s okay. Oh my goodness, I never thought Obadiah Stane would do something like this!”
“Is he crazy? Tony treated him like family, and even told me he decided to give him another chance!”
Hearing Pepper’s words, Lynn prepared to take her back.
Tony Stark’s Arc Reactor was taken by Obadiah Stane, and the Arc Reactor in his armor now was a replacement.
So, Lynn planned to seize this opportunity to steal a kill.
After all, a -7 favorability, it would be too much of a pity to miss it!
