NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27 - Tony's first action plan
Chapter 27: Tony’s first action plan
It could be said that Lu Yuan had come at the right time. Obadiah was having a headache because his subordinates were a piece of trash.
The cause of his headache was the palladium arc reactor built thirty years ago. It was built in Howard’s time, and it had been here for thirty years.
He had specially invited a group of people who were called professors, but they had told him that there was no way to create a small energy source.
It simply pissed him off.
At this time, Lu Yuan came to add more trouble to him. He took out the phone that still had buttons. The phones at that time already had the camera function.
Lu Yuan found a photo and sent it to Obadiah.
Obadiah’s eyes lit up, and his pupils shrank when he saw the picture of the inferior small Arc reactor that Tony had built overnight.
In addition, Tony was still installing it on a steel body in the picture.
He became even more anxious when saw that Tony’s armor had entered the final stage, and it was almost finished.
“Get it for me.”
Obadiah opened his eyes wide and stared at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan shrugged: “Of course it is not a problem. Otherwise, why would I bring this picture to you? But it’s going to cost extra.”
Obadiah subconsciously asked, “How much?”
“1 billion.”
Lu Yuan directly raised an index finger and opened his mouth to ask for 1 billion. And what he wanted was US dollars.
Obadiah gasped.
One billion dollars? At this time, the dollar was still worth a lot, unlike 2021, when its worth had been consistently falling.
Given its value in 2008, it was definitely worth more than the current five billion dollars.
There were two reasons for it. One was the impact of inflation and the other was the status of the US dollar in the world’s foreign exchange. This was not an exaggeration.
That’s why Obadiah hesitated.
When Lu Yuan saw his hesitation, he did not urge him. Instead, he put away his phone and turned to leave. But before leaving, he reminded him, “You can consider it, but I advise you to make a decision as soon as possible.”
Obadiah pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the other hand, Lu Yuan went straight back to Tony’s house.
Was Obadiah really not worried or suspicious at all?
He was still a little vigilant, but he thought that as long as he obtained the ark reactor and showed the value of the Iron Monger, he would have enough bargaining chips to negotiate with the United States.
The Iron Monger was a modified first-generation Mark armor. To put it more bluntly, only its armor and tonnage were increased. In essence, it was still the first generation Mark armor.
Therefore, if this item was to be mass-produced, it would be more convenient than other Mark series battle suits.
Tony was pursuing perfection, but the Iron Monger was not.
However, the only problem in front of him was the source of energy.
Was he really going to spend 1 billion dollars on it?
On the other side, when Lu Yuan returned to Tony’s house, Tony asked, “Will he fall for it?”
Lu Yuan smiled. “If he didn’t have this ambition, he wouldn’t have taken the risk to get rid of you. Tony, do you know what Obadiah wants the most right now? He wants to kill you and take the entire company away. What he really cares about is not the Iron Monger, but the benefits that the Iron Monger can bring him.”
This meant that since Obadiah had already taken the risk, he had no way of turning back. He could only follow this path.
“But in order to help him strengthen his ambition, we have to make him believe that Iron Monger is his future,” Lu Yuan once again showed a dark smile.
Tony sighed, “Tell me, when do I have to leave?”
They had actually discussed it last night, and Lu Yuan had mentioned his plan as well.
There was another thing that required Tony’s cooperation, and that was for him to demonstrate the power of Iron Man’s battle suit to strengthen Obadiah’s belief.
Only when Obadiah was convinced that the Iron Monger could realize his ambitions, he would try to succeed at all costs, even if he had to tear his skin.
Therefore, the next step was simple. Lu Yuan’s request was for Tony to act as Iron Man for the first time, and go to the desert to destroy the Ten Rings.
The Ten Rings was Obadiah’s partner. Obadiah would only be convinced if Tony used his armor to destroy the Ten Rings.
“Then let’s get ready for action.” Tony didn’t waste any time, because there was still a grudge between him and the Ten Rings that had not been settled.
At that moment, Tony began to make the final preparations.
The second-generation Mark armor had already been tested, and its results were perfect. Other than a few details that had yet to be refined, it could already be considered a finished product.
In order to complete this step as soon as possible, Tony asked Jarvis to activate the equipment in the basement and paint the armor.
As there was no need to immediately build the third generation armor, the process would not take long. Forty minutes would be enough.
In the meantime, Lu Yuan and Tony continued to refine their plans.
They began to use Tony’s methods to mark the strongholds of the Ten Rings in advance, especially the weapon reserves of the Ten Rings, which must be destroyed.
Tony gritted his teeth in hatred. Those were his weapons, and some of them were even the latest type of weapons that he had developed and designed. However, the last time he was almost killed by them.
In fact, even if he did not act today, Tony would still retaliate in the future.
“I will also go with you, but I will be in the dark. This is your stage, Tony. Go and enjoy being a superhero,” Lu Yuan promised that he would also go with him.
However, he would not show his face so easily. Instead, he would follow Tony in the dark.
Tony originally wanted to ask Lu Yuan how he was going to follow him, but when he thought about it, it seemed that there was no need to ask.
He already knew that Lu Yuan’s speed could surpass the speed of light, and with Earth’s current technology, it was impossible to track a target at the speed of light.
Without sufficient preparation, satellites or radars could not detect Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan’s promise made Tony feel relieved because this was his first action. It was wrong to say that he was not excited and nervous.
While Tony and Lu Yuan were discussing the plan of action, something new happened to the Ten Rings.
It turned out that the Ten Rings had taken action to control a village and kidnapped all the civilians in the village.
A small team of war reporters happened to be there, so they were live broadcasting.
The people of Ten Rings were so arrogant that they were still screaming in front of the camera that they were going to kill those people.
Lu Yuan and Tony looked at each other.
“It’s really a good opportunity. Let’s go.”
