...
The open-air bar on the top floor of the hotel.
Today, it was only open to Obadiah and his invited guests.
When Leon and Tony arrived, Obadiah had already been waiting for a long time.
The day lily was cold, but Obadiah seemed to have anticipated this, ordering only cold dishes and desserts that Tony and Leon loved.
The candlelight on the table flickered in the breeze, illuminating Obadiah's bald old face with a half-smile.
"Hey, Tony, Leon, my good boys, you've kept this old man waiting for a long time."
Seeing Tony and Leon arrive, Obadiah greeted them familiarly.
"No choice, who told us to be so persistent?" Leon joked with a smile.
Tony took over, "Obi, you really should have called a few young models to wait with You."
"Oh, please, with my old arms and legs, You boys spare me, I still want to live a few more years." Obadiah said, patting Tony's shoulder after warmly embracing Leon.
"That's true."
"If one can live, who wouldn't want to live a few more years?"
Leon spread his hands.
"Quickly, sit, sit, I ordered all your favorite dishes."
Obadiah enthusiastically greeted them, "Thank God for bringing You back to my side. Since Howard and Maria (Tony and Leon's mother) passed away unexpectedly, I only have You left."
"Haha, indeed, we should thank God."
"Where's Pepper? Why didn't she come with You?"
"Something came up, You know, she's always busy."
"It's alright, the most important thing is that You two brothers are here."
The three sat around the white round table with the lit candles, just like a normal family gathering.
"Ah wu~"
Leon impatiently picked up a steak knife and cut a small piece of cold grilled steak, bringing it to his mouth with a silver fork.
But after only two chews, he suddenly stopped moving.
"What's wrong?"
"Doesn't it suit your taste?"
Obadiah, who had been observing the two brothers eating, immediately noticed Leon's abnormality and asked, "concerned."
"No."
"Because it's so delicious, it feels like it has a strong kick!"
After Leon briefly replied, he seemed to have gone mad with hunger, sweeping all the food on the table into his stomach like a whirlwind sweeping fallen leaves.
He even didn't spare Tony's portion.
This scene.
Directly stunned Tony and Obadiah, who hadn't even touched their food yet.
"Burp~"
"!!!"
After a satisfying burp, Leon suddenly stared wide-eyed, his hands tightly clutching his neck, spitting White foam as if poisoned.
Then he rolled his eyes, his head fell onto the round table, and there was no further movement.
"Leon? Leon!"
"Obi, this dish of yours... Ugh! It's... poisonous..."
From Leon's poisoning to his "death," it only took a mere 2.5 seconds. Tony didn't react at all. By the time he realized the dish was poisoned, Leon seemed to be beyond saving.
He was just about to turn and question Obadiah.
Buzz—
Obadiah pressed a small device in his hand, resembling a car key fob and a ■-shaped switch. A specific frequency of infrasound waves was released, and immediately, veins bulged on Tony's neck. He was paralyzed in an instant, losing the ability to resist.
"What a gluttonous boy."
"You could have left so easily too, Tony."
"Hmm?"
Obadiah pushed Leon's "corpse," wanting to sit in his seat and talk to Tony face-to-face, but found that he couldn't push him, as if pushing a human-shaped block of iron, incredibly heavy.
He could only give up.
He turned to sit opposite Leon and Tony, beginning the classic villain's verbose segment.
"Remember this, Tony?" Obadiah took out the Bluetooth earpiece he used for sound insulation and then shook the small device in his hand at Tony.
"This is a portable infrasound weapon You developed. Unfortunately, due to the non-discriminatory propagation characteristics of infrasound waves, it wasn't approved for production by the government, but it's quite practical, isn't it?"
"It's truly a pity, Tony."
"Why did You and Leon have to come back?"
"If You had just died like that, it would have been better for both You and me. Now it's not so troublesome."
"The media downstairs certainly won't guess my purpose for inviting them today."
"After all, who would have thought that the Stark brothers, who had just escaped from danger, would be ambushed and killed by assassins today, under such widespread attention?"
"And I, Obadiah Stane, will completely take over Stark Industries!"
"Tony, your father and I founded Stark Industries. I dedicated my life to this company, and in the end, what I got was less than this good-for-nothing next to me who only knows how to play with women!"
Thud!
"Hiss—F*ck!"
"Is his head made of iron?!"
When he got agitated.
Obadiah angrily punched Leon hard on the head.
As a result, Leon's head was fine, but Obadiah's metacarpal bone snapped with a crisp sound, directly fracturing.
"I didn't want this,"
"But your existence, You two brothers, really makes things difficult for me!"
After saying that.
Obadiah painstakingly put on a White glove on his left hand with his injured right hand, then pulled out a pistol from his Pregnant, opened the safety, and aimed it at Tony's head.
However.
Just then.
Leon, who had "died of poisoning," actually came back to life and overturned the table!
"Difficult?"
"Then don't do it!"
Bang—
Obadiah's gun fired.
But the bullet was caught by Leon and crushed in an instant!
"You! How could You..." Obadiah stammered.
Leon kindly finished his sentence for him, "How did I not get poisoned to death?"
"Guess?"
"I'll guess your mother!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The enraged Obadiah emptied his magazine directly at Tony and Leon.
Leon shielded the paralyzed Tony behind him, and all the bullets hit him, which was no different from an itch. Only Leon's clothes had eight more holes.
"How can this be?!"
"Are You human or ghost?!"
Facing Leon, who had come back to life and was impervious to bullets, Obadiah was so scared that he fell to the ground. The pistol with the empty magazine slipped from his hand and slid to Leon's feet.
Leon bent down to pick it up, and under Obadiah's disbelieving gaze, he kneaded the pistol into a lump, like kneading dough, then clapped his hands together, flattening it into an iron pancake.
"Stane, You know nothing about power."
Bang!
The iron pancake hit the ground.
Along with it fell Obadiah's hopeful heart.
Now.
He finally knew why Leon hadn't been hit by a car and why Tony had escaped from the Ten Rings Gang.
It turned out.
He had always been the one kept in the dark.
He didn't even know that his own partners had already created the "strongest weapon."
"Howard, You bastard! Was this also part of your plan?" Obadiah raged in impotent fury.
Leon was a bit confused about what he was so angry about, and why he suddenly brought up his father.
If Leon knew that Obadiah was currently imagining his "Iron Body" as Howard's research achievement, he would probably die laughing on the spot.
"Any last words?"
Leon approached Obadiah step by step.
"......"
Obadiah didn't speak, only continued to crawl away from Leon on all fours, seemingly wanting to escape.
Soon.
Leon stopped.
Because Obadiah had nowhere to run.
Behind him were the myriad lights of the city and the hundreds of meters of high altitude.
At this moment.
Tony happened to recover from his paralysis, tottered to Leon's side, was supported by him, and then questioned Obadiah, who had been forced to a dead end:
"Why?"
Although he had been paralyzed just now, Tony's consciousness had been clear. He had heard every word Obadiah said.
"Why? Hehe!"
Obadiah sneered, "There's no why, Tony!"
"As long as You remain in this position, You will eventually self-destruct. I'll be waiting for You in hell!"
"Alright, alright, your part is over. The loser exits."
Whoosh—bang!
Leon raised his hand, and a flash of light appeared in his palm.
Obadiah was sent flying by the golden impact.
13 seconds later.
A dull thud echoed from downstairs.
Judging by the sound.
Obadiah had most likely been splattered into a paste.
"Oh, my God!" Tony looked at Leon somewhat speechlessly, "Why did You act so fast? I still had so many questions to ask."
"My fault, is it?~"
Leon shrugged indifferently.
By the time Pepper downloaded, printed, and brought over the evidence of Obadiah's collusion with the Ten Rings Gang and assassins to harm Tony and Leon from Obadiah's office computer.
Obadiah's coffin lid had already been closed by Leon, with impressive efficiency.
One can only say that plans are not as fast as changes.
