Tony's Methods

Tony Stark encountered an interception by two fighter jets on his way back.

After some evasive maneuvering, Tony Stark successfully returned to Stark Mansion in New York.

Upon returning home, Tony Stark immediately instructed Jarvis to compile all the evidence of Obadiah Stane's crimes.

Following this, Tony Stark took the initiative to announce that a board meeting would be held in the evening.

Tony Stark also asked Colonel Rhodes to wait for his signal before taking action.

Although he had created the Iron Man Armor, it was not yet time to reveal it.

Furthermore, he did not want to act recklessly with the Iron Man Armor, as that would not count as atoning for his past wrongdoings.

Without the Iron Man Armor, Tony Stark was just an ordinary person, and naturally, he had to worry if Obadiah Stane would resort to desperate measures and attack him.

Even though Obadiah Stane had conspired to remove Tony Stark from the board, the news of Tony Stark calling for a board meeting still carried weight.

All authorized personnel of Stark Industries who could enter the board meeting received the message.

Originally, the Stark Industries board was already scheduled to discuss decisions because Stark Industries had been attacked that morning.

Now, Tony Stark's call had gathered them all.

Upon receiving the news that Tony was calling a board meeting, Obadiah Stane's heart skipped a beat, but he still decided to attend.

Soon, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Numerous guards were patrolling around the Stark Industries building.

At this time, in the conference room of Stark Industries.

Tony Stark looked at the old fogeys sitting around the table, all stout and in their late forties or fifties. Harvey Anberaka was not among them.

He knew then that Harvey Anberaka must have already been aware of some of his thoughts and actions.

Otherwise, Harvey Anberaka should have been present to hear about matters that would cause unease among other shareholders and to discuss a course of action.

Obadiah Stane had already bought over most of the other powerful shareholders within Stark Industries.

Half of the entire board belonged to him, which was the key reason he dared to attend the meeting.

However, they had not completely fallen out yet, so he still had to show the proper respect.

"Tony, what did you want to tell us by calling us here?"

Obadiah Stane asked Tony with a smile.

"Before I explain, I want everyone to see something."

"Jarvis, play it."

Seeing Obadiah Stane still putting on a fake act, Tony Stark did not respond but gave his own command.

Jarvis, receiving the instruction, immediately played the compiled video evidence.

These videos were evidence that Obadiah Stane had instructed the Ten Rings Gang to kill him.

The timestamp in the upper right corner of the video indicated that the conversation took place a month before Tony Stark decided to go to Afghanistan, meaning his itinerary had been exposed long in advance.

There were also images of Tony Stark being attacked and left for dead a month later.

Following that were the conversations where Obadiah Stane told the Ten Rings Gang terrorists that they should kill Tony Stark after they had squeezed out all his value.

The entire board was silent as they watched these videos.

Even the shareholders who had been persuaded and bought over by Obadiah Stane felt a chill run down their spines.

They had been persuaded by Obadiah Stane because Tony Stark had decided to shut down the weapons manufacturing department without any consultation.

This had harmed their interests and wealth, which was why they had joined Obadiah Stane's side and removed Tony Stark from the position of chairman.

But they never expected that Tony Stark, who the outside world claimed had merely traveled to Afghanistan for two months, had actually encountered an assassination attempt there.

If Tony Stark had not presented this evidence, they would still have been kept in the dark by Obadiah Stane.

If Obadiah Stane could silently eliminate Tony Stark like this, then in the future, if they stood on the wrong side or were deemed to have no value, would they also be silently removed?

Although Tony Stark had somehow been favored and managed to escape with his life, it did not mean everyone could survive a terrorist attack.

"Obadiah Stane, you watched me grow up, so I've always regarded you as an uncle worthy of respect."

"Over the years, our cooperation, while not always seamless, has been effective, allowing Stark Industries to become increasingly powerful."

"I have never intentionally hidden my inventions and plans from you."

"Therefore, I always thought our relationship was quite good."

"But I never imagined that I would one day be betrayed by my uncle,"

Tony Stark felt the silence in the conference room and looked at Obadiah Stane, whose face had turned grim as his actions were completely exposed. He spoke with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Knowing that Obadiah Stane was behind everything, Tony Stark recalled that when he had just successfully test-fired his weapon and the military was interested in purchasing Stark Industries' technology, Obadiah Stane had immediately contacted him to inquire about his situation.

He wasn't concerned about things not going smoothly, but rather if he had already reached the designated military testing base in Afghanistan.

After confirming this, and hanging up the phone, Obadiah Stane immediately leaked the information to the Ten Rings Gang. The thought of this made Tony Stark feel sick.

Following this, Tony Stark said something and pressed a button.

With a "bang!", the conference room door was directly flung open.

The sound of synchronized footsteps approached, and a group of FBI agents led by Colonel Rhodes filed in.

"Click! Click! Click!" All the handguns were aimed at Obadiah Stane.

The shareholders in the boardroom were too terrified to move.

"Obadiah Stane, you colluded with terrorists and sold national intelligence, resulting in the loss of some national talent."

"And you intentionally murdered Tony Stark. You are under arrest."

Colonel Rhodes declared the other man's crimes to Obadiah Stane.

With his wealth and connections, Obadiah Stane might have gotten out of prison for the murder charge.

However, with the charge of colluding with terrorists and selling national intelligence, Obadiah Stane would spend the rest of his life in prison.

"I want to make a phone call, these matters still..."

Obadiah Stane stood up, speaking as he reached into his pocket.

With a "bang!", Colonel Rhodes fired his gun, killing Obadiah Stane on the spot.

Obadiah Stane had caused the loss of some of his men, and also made his superiors angry.

The terrorists wouldn't be easily dealt with, but now they knew it was Obadiah Stane's collusion that led to the loss of his men.

Therefore, Colonel Rhodes gave Obadiah Stane no chance for any explanation.

"Take him away."

Colonel Rhodes said coldly, looking at the other shareholders in the conference room who were trembling all over.

Two soldiers carried Obadiah Stane away.

"Alright, let's continue the meeting."

"Now we need to discuss the future direction of Stark Industries."

Tony Stark was a man who had been through the brutal and unforgiving Afghanistan, so his expression didn't change at all at this scene as he spoke.

"..."

Facing Tony Stark, who clearly had strong ties with the military, none of the shareholders present dared to oppose his opinions.
