Chapter 214: Won't Hurt Anyone

[After the first test failed, Tony was not discouraged and continued to study the Mark II armor. ]

[As time goes by, the research on Mark II is constantly improving. Tony successfully uses holographic projection technology to project Mark II's arm.]

[He then put his hand through the holographic projection and found that the simulation went very smoothly, so he immediately built it according to the drawing.]

[Just when Tony was still testing the function of the armor arm, Pepper came to the basement, holding a box wrapped in brown paper and a cup of coffee.]

[She walked in and asked, "I've been calling you, didn't you hear me?"]

【“Yeah! I didn’t hear anything!” Tony replied without even looking up. 】

[“Obadiah is upstairs!” Pepper said as she put the box on the table.]

[“Okay, okay! I’ll be there right away!” Tony said absentmindedly.]

[Hearing his tone, Pepper looked at him helplessly, "What do you want me to say to him?"]

[Then Pepper saw the armor in Tony's hand and asked in confusion: "I remembered you said you would never develop weapons again!"]

[Tony put on the rough armor arm and raised it up. After hearing what Pepper said, he nodded, "Yes! But this is a flight stabilizer! It won't hurt anyone!"]

[Tony pressed the switch, and the white light from the jet nozzle on the palm of his hand became brighter. After a sound of energy charging, a "bang" sounded, and a light as fast as lightning shot out.]

[Tony flew backwards. Pepper was frightened by the sudden situation. She subconsciously covered her ears and screamed.]

[Pepper came back to her senses and looked towards Tony worriedly, "I didn't expect it to be like this!" Tony smiled awkwardly.]

"Hahaha, Tony Stark, I didn't expect you would have this moment!" Egghead couldn't help laughing. Ever since the sky curtain appeared, Egghead found that his sense of humor was getting lower and lower.

Natasha, who was reporting on the situation of Peter Parker Jr. and Aunt May, also laughed, and Hill laughed along with her.

"It's not a weapon, huh? It won't hurt anyone, right?" Rhodes winked at Tony, and this wave of taunting was just short of a face-to-face attack.

Ever since the sky screen began broadcasting the deeds of Tony Stark, Rhodes has been letting himself go more and more.

"Hey!" Tony looked at Rhodes with dissatisfaction, but he was helpless and could only pour him wine, determined to get him drunk and be done with it.

Banner watched them bickering with amusement, then interrupted, "Luckily you didn't take on the latest Mark Destroyer No. 1 yourself, or else you would be covered in bruises."

When the armor was just made, Tony wanted to test it himself, but Banner thought it was unreliable and stopped him. Then Mark Destroyer No. 1 made a big hole in the ceiling of Tony's underground garage, and then plunged into the sea!

"Yeah! Fortunately you stopped me! Cheers!" Tony nodded and raised his glass to Banner.

"You're welcome!" Banner smiled and took a sip of wine.

[Tony ran upstairs in two steps. Obadiah was playing the piano leisurely. Tony asked first, "How is it?"]

[Then he looked at the pizza Obadiah brought and said, "That doesn't look good, does it?"]

[Obadiah continued to play Antonio's "Concerto in C Major" while denying Tony's idea: "Just because I brought back pizza from New York, you can't think that things are not good, right?"]

【“Aha? Of course! Oh! boy!” Tony opened the pizza box and exclaimed when he saw the pizza full of ingredients. He couldn’t wait to pick up a piece and eat it. 】

[Obadiah stopped playing the piano, "It might be better if you went in person!"]

[“Ahh! You told me to keep a low profile! I’ve been following this seriously! You’re in charge of everything!” Tony disagreed with him and brought up what Obadiah had said to him before to shut him up. ]

[“Hey! Come on! I mean the public and the media! But this time it’s a board meeting!” Obadiah spread his hands and sat down next to Tony. ]

[Tony looked at him in confusion. He hadn't heard of a board meeting! "Did you say a board meeting?"]

[Obadiah sighs, "The board has declared you to be suffering from post-concussion syndrome! They are seeking an injunction!"]

[“One what?” Tony couldn’t help but glance sideways. ]

[“Stop your work!” Obadiah slowly told the bad news. ]

【“Why? Just because the stock fell 40 points? That’s what we expected!” Tony looked at Obadiah in disbelief. 】

[“It’s down $56 per share!” Pepper corrected Tony’s mistake. The company’s stock price fell more severely than Tony had imagined.]

["What does that matter?! We have a controlling stake in the company!" Tony turned around and looked at Pepper. ]

[“Tony! The board of directors also has power! They think! You and your new ideas are not in the best interests of the company!” Obadiah explained. ]

[“Then I will take the responsibility! This is a new starting point for me and the company!” Tony shouted loudly. ]

[Hearing this, Obadiah looked at Tony with his eyes wide open and his mouth opened in surprise.]

[“To be honest, the company should bear the cost!” Tony turned to Pepper and said, then stood up and added, “It tastes good!”]

[Seeing Tony pick up the whole pizza box and leave, Obadiah immediately wanted to stop him, "Oh! Come on! Tony! Tony!"]

[“Hey! Hey! Tony! Listen to me!” Seeing that Tony had no intention of stopping, Obadiah quickly stood up and grabbed Tony’s shoulder. ]

[“I’ll try to turn this around! But you have to take action! So that I can convince them! Let me take that to the engineers to analyze! Make technical specifications!”]

[Obadiah pretends to be doing this for Tony's own good, but his ultimate goal is to find a reason to take away Tony's Ark Reactor.]

[Hearing this, Tony immediately said: "NO! NO!"]

“I can use this to whet the board’s appetite!”

[“Absolutely not! This can only belong to me! No negotiation, Obadiah! No deal!” Tony knew the value of this miniature Ark reactor, so he rejected Obadiah very firmly.]

【“Okay! But this belongs to me! Okay! You can take a piece!” Seeing that Tony disagreed, Obadiah took the pizza box from him. 】

[Tony took a piece away casually. Obadiah looked at Tony's back and asked loudly, "Can I go down and see your work?"]

【"Good night! Obi!" Tony didn't reply and ran downstairs. 】
