I, the Bully Spider-Man, will destroy Marvel!

Chapter 40 Obadiah, a Liar

When Obadiah saw a foot wearing slippers appear in front of him, and followed the leg hair upwards to Tony's face, his shock was no less than when Takumi saw Natsuki sitting in someone else's BMW!

"Tony, how... how could you...?"

"How could you possibly come back, you damned traitor!" Tony sneered and kicked Obadiah in the chest.

Obadiah instantly let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered!

This startled Tony, who turned to Ethan beside him and asked:

"Are we just too resilient to take a beating, or is this guy really that weak? We weren't even screaming this badly when we were being kicked around in the cave. What's this guy yelling about?"

Ethan, who had some medical knowledge, noticed something was wrong with Obadiah. He adjusted his glasses, crouched down, and took a closer look:

"No, the reason he's screaming so badly isn't because of your kick; he already had serious injuries to his sternum and ribs."

"Look, it's dented in there..."

Upon hearing this, Tony couldn't help but look at Toby, who was sitting on the sofa as if nothing had happened.

To this, Toby shrugged: "You only said you wanted them alive, not intact. They're bound to get bumped and jostled during transport, aren't they?"

Hmm, that actually makes a pretty damn good point!

Tony was speechless for a moment, and then stopped worrying about whether the "goods" he wanted were intact.

Since they're all disposable anyway, they have to be destroyed after use, so who cares if they're intact!

Tony used his toe to flip Obadiah, who was still lying on the ground screaming, over and said coldly:

"Stop yelling, Stan. You only have a fractured sternum and a few broken ribs. Compared to the damage you've done to me, that's nothing!"

As he spoke, Tony unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a large hole in his chest with a makeshift arc reactor embedded in it!

However, Obadiah's attention was not on the gaping hole in Tony's chest where the missile had blasted blood and flesh, but rather on the miniature reactor embedded in the hole!

His feelings were no less than Takumi's shock when he saw Natsuki not only getting into someone else's car, but that man was driving his own modified AE86!

That's absolutely amazing!

Obadiah swallowed hard, momentarily forgetting the pain in his chest, and his breathing became rapid.

"This is an arc reactor? You actually succeeded! You've taken this technology, which Howard left behind after thirty years of stagnation, a step forward, a giant leap forward..."

Now that Tony has managed to miniaturize the Arc Reactor to this extent, meaning it's fully usable in the energy market, the potential revenue for Stark Industries is immense...

hiss------

Obadiah gasped in surprise at the long, astronomical string of zeros he had roughly anticipated, then immediately put on a pained expression:

"Oh, Tony, I think you've misunderstood something. I'm your father Howard's dearest friend, brother, your uncle! How could I possibly harm you!"

"You've been missing for two months, and I've been more anxious to find you than anyone else. I've been calling the military almost every day to pressure them to find you!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I'm needed to protect Stark Industries, the company your father founded, I would have gone to Afghanistan to find you myself!"

Believe me, no one in this world loves you more than I do. I've always considered you my own child!

Even at this point, Obadiah still maintained a sincere expression. If Tony hadn't seen the video Toby gave him, he would have actually believed his lies!

Unfortunately, facts always speak louder than words!

Tony snapped his fingers: "Jarvis, show him!"

Yes, sir.

As Jarvis's voice echoed in the empty living room, a blue virtual projection was projected in front of Obadiah.

The video, of course, shows Tony being tied to a chair by the Ten Rings and sending threats to Obadiah on the other side.

In the video, the Ten Commandments vehemently denounce Obadiah for deceiving them and failing to disclose the true target of the assassination attempt.

If I had known my target was Tony Stark, it would have cost much more!

That's why the Ten Rings recorded this video, extorting another sum from Obadiah and getting him to send them a lot of high-quality weapons from Stark Industries!

But unexpectedly, the Ten Rings broke their promise in the end, and although they got the weapons, they didn't kill Tony as promised!

Obadiah's face turned extremely ugly as he watched the video. Knowing he could no longer deny it, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and angrily rebuke:

"I shouldn't have trusted those damn terrorists, they're a bunch of untrustworthy bastards!!!"

After hearing this, Tony stepped on Obadiah's chest and sneered again:

"Ha, what right do you have to judge them? Aren't you also a hypocrite who betrays his friends, betrays everyone, and only cares about his own interests?"

"A person who betrays others can betray anyone!"

"Now, I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer me a question. Do you understand?"

Obadiah, now pinned to the chest by Tony, no longer screamed in agony. Instead, he endured the pain and said disdainfully:

"Decades have passed, Tony, yet you're still as naive as when you were 21, right after your father Howard died—naive to the point of being pathetic!"

"What makes you think that since I'm already dead, I'd tell you anything you want to know?"

"So go eat shit, Tony, you won't get anything out of me!"

"And do you think I don't know? You'll still die, and you'll die a thousand times more painfully than I did, hahahaha!"

Finally, Obadiah pointed at the Arc Reactor on Tony's chest and let out a maniacal laugh.

As the second-in-command of a leading arms company, Obadiah was certainly not an ignorant idiot.

On the contrary, he was actually very smart to be able to build Stark Industries with Howard.

And he, who has always tried to replace Howard Stark, pays special attention to everything Howard left behind.

Including the prototype of the Arc Reactor!

Therefore, he naturally knew what the core material of the Arc Reactor was: palladium!

Palladium is extremely harmful to the human body!

By embedding the miniature Arc Reactor into his chest, Tony was essentially putting a slow-acting poison into his own body!

As time goes on, Tony's body will be slowly eroded by palladium toxin until he finally dies a painful death!

Therefore, the Arc Reactor is both the antidote for the shrapnel near Tony's heart and a poison that could kill Tony at any moment!
