I Am Iron Man!

"Weren't you already dead?"

Obadiah looked at Chen Mo with disbelief in his eyes.

It is indeed difficult for most people to accept that someone who has been missing for seventy years and should have died has suddenly appeared in front of them.

Chen Mo wasn't too surprised that Obadiah had guessed his identity. Although he hadn't made movies or acted in stage plays like Steve, becoming a household name in United States, Chen Mo's fame was in no way inferior to Captain America Steve's. After all, he could be said to have rewritten the entire course of World War II.

Chen Mo's enormous contributions to humanity worldwide are indelible. After he fell into the sea and disappeared, countless people from allied countries remembered his great achievements, and his legendary deeds were told everywhere.

Biographies, novels, comics, and even a movie adaptation have been written about Chen Mo story is still known to countless people.

His strength, his pride, his fearlessness, his sacrifice—all these qualities of his have a deep attraction for ordinary people. Regardless of gender or age, everyone is fascinated by him, admires him, and even loves him.

If they knew he was still alive, countless crazy fans would swarm in and tear Tony Stark's mansion to rubble.

Obadiah certainly knew Chen Mo, and as Howard Stark's partner, Obadiah had a deeper understanding of Chen Mo from Howard's words. Because of this, his fear of Chen Mo was even deeper.

Obadiah, who was originally full of confidence, finally showed a look of fear.

Chen Mo ignored all of that and instead looked at Obadiah's left hand, which had transformed into a high-tech weapon, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"Ulysses Klaue".

Chen Mo looked into Obadiah's eyes and uttered a name.

Obadiah's pupils constricted upon hearing this. Already shocked by discovering Chen Mo's true identity, he felt an even greater sense of dread.

How did he know?

When Obadiah's left hand was severed by Brock Rumlow of Crossbones in Afghanistan, he returned to New York with the prototype and blueprints of the Mark I and planned to install an Impact Hammer similar to that on the Iron Monger on his left hand.

As a result, Klaue, an arms dealer who had been doing business with him, somehow learned that he had lost his left hand and took the initiative to deliver this powerful Sonic Cannon to him. Of course, Obadiah paid a huge sum of money for it, but he thought it was well worth it.

Normally, the Sonic Cannon is hidden under a simulated mechanical arm that can perform simple movements, serving as a decent prosthetic limb. When attacking, the palm splits open, revealing the Sonic Cannon hidden inside.

This Sonic Cannon can fire powerful sound waves and Shockwave, causing the attacked object to vibrate and be impacted, thus disintegrating it directly.

With this Sonic Cannon disguised as a prosthetic limb, Obadiah still possesses powerful offensive capabilities even without the Iron Monger. It is a very good trump card, perfect for surprise attacks and ambushes.

After the Iron Monger was destroyed, Obadiah originally planned to wait for Tony Stark to lower his guard and then launch a sneak attack with the Sonic Cannon to kill him in one blow, but Chen Mo discovered it instead.

Chen Mo then easily blocked the Sonic Cannon attack with his shield, and even called out the name of Ulysses Klaue, who sold him the Prosthetic Sonic Cannon, which completely shattered Obadiah's confidence.

But Obadiah was already somewhat insane, did not give up. Even if Chen Mo was the legendary Commander with great strength who could easily withstand the powerful attack of the Sonic Cannon, Tony might not be so capable.

Having reached this point, it was a matter of life or death, with no way out. Obadiah temporarily set aside his fear of Chen Mo and once again aimed the Sonic Cannon in his left hand at Tony Stark beside him.

This sonic weapon can not only emit powerful Shockwave, but also emit sound waves that cause machinery to vibrate at high speeds, leading to structural collapse. It can be said to be the nemesis of all machinery.

Although the Mark II has amazing defensive capabilities and a shock absorption system that seems to be cutting-edge technology, Chen Mo wasn't really sure if it could withstand the attack of the Sonic Cannon.

Chen Mo was able to easily block the previous attacks because of the Proto-Adamantium's ability to absorb energy, attack, and vibration, thus rendering all attacks ineffective.

The Sonic Cannon, which mainly relies on sound wave vibration as its means of attack, is completely countered by the shield. The attack is directly absorbed and neutralized, and its powerful destructive force cannot be exerted at all, posing no threat to Chen Mo. However, the armor of the Mark II does not have the magical properties of the Proto-Adamantium.

So, when Obadiah aimed the Sonic Cannon at Tony Stark, Chen Mo quickly flashed in front of Tony and blocked him. At the same time, a Throwing Knife instantly appeared in Chen Mo's hand. With a flick of his wrist, the Throwing Knife turned into a streak of light and flew towards Obadiah like lightning, piercing right into his left shoulder joint.

A sharp pain struck, Obadiah's left arm instantly lost all strength, hanging limply down. The Sonic Cannon barrel, which had been lit up and was charging up, also dimmed.

"I have to thank you for teaching Tony a few lessons. Now, you can die."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he did not continue to make a move, but instead turned to look at Tony Stark.

"Tony, kill him!"

The following day, at a press conference about the battle between the two Iron Man near Stark Industries the previous night, Tony Stark, just like in the movies, admitted that he was Iron Man.

As Tony exclaimed, "I am Iron Man!" the press conference erupted in cheers. Agent Coulson, however, turned to look at Chen Mo with a helpless expression, the meaning in his eyes quite clear.

Boss, your son isn't following the plan!

Before Tony Stark took the stage, Phil Coulson gave him a prepared speech, explaining that the hero "Iron Man," who fought against the evil robots and protected civilians the previous night, was one of Tony's bodyguards. Unexpectedly, Tony directly admitted that he was Iron Man.

Chen Mo wasn't angry at Tony's unconventional behavior; this was the real Tony Stark, the Iron Man.

Don't be fooled by Tony's obedient behavior towards Chen Mo, which makes him seem like Chen Mo's son. In reality, Tony is an extremely arrogant, conceited, and narcissistic person. If he hadn't grown up listening to Chen Mo's legendary stories, harbored deep admiration for Chen Mo, and been saved from danger by Chen Mo several times, Tony would not be so obedient and compliant in front of Chen Mo.

This is Tony Stark in his usual form.

He disdained to conceal his identity or carefully hide himself with lies. "I am who I am, carefree and unrestrained, and I don't need to be low-key."

After this press conference, Tony became a celebrity, not because of his genius, wealth, or womanizing, but because he was a Super Hero, Iron Man!

The details of the major battle that took place at Stark Industries that day are unknown to the outside world. The incident was taken over by the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, and the police were not authorized to intervene. Obadiah's death did not cause any trouble.

Ultimately, Obadiah died at the hands of Tony Stark. The Tony Stark of today is no longer the playboy he once was. Having experienced being kidnapped by terrorists in Afghanistan and the deception and betrayal of Obadiah, a person he was close to and trusted, Tony Stark has matured.

When destroying the weapons that Obadiah had sold to terrorist organizations and anti-government forces, Tony personally killed many militants. He wasn't too opposed to killing people, but Tony hesitated a bit because the person he was going to kill was his former close partner who had lost his fighting ability.

Under Chen Mo's deep and sharp gaze, Tony Stark realized that he was being somewhat sentimental and couldn't help but reflect on his actions.

Thinking about Obadiah's actions over the years and the enormous harm caused by his behind-the-scenes arms deals, Chen Mo's initial hesitation gradually hardened. If he didn't kill Obadiah today, given his personality and past behavior, he would inevitably become a huge hidden danger.

Obadiah is very ambitious. When he was at Stark Industries, he always wanted to seize control of the Stark Industries and almost succeeded.

After acquiring the powerful Iron Man suit invented by Tony Stark, his ambition swelled even further, and he wanted to use this powerful new Iron Man suit to control the entire world.

If we don't eliminate him today, and he manages to escape in the future, his immense ambition and madness in disregarding human life will inevitably bring even greater destruction to the world. In that case, let his evil deeds end here!

Having made up his mind, Tony Stark finished off Obadiah with a palm strike.

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction. He wanted to cultivate a Super Hero, a maintainer of world peace, not a pedantic law enforcer. For truly evil people, who pose a huge threat to the safety of the earth, the best way to deal with them is to eradicate them completely, rather than imprisoning them and leaving them a chance to turn the tables.

Having eliminated Obadiah and cleaned up this cancer within Stark Industries, it's time to completely resolve the company's problems.

After the press conference, Chen Mo asked Tony to convene a board meeting with all members of the Stark Industries board of directors.

Previously, at Obadiah's instigation, the board of directors suspended Tony from his work, citing his post-traumatic stress disorder after being kidnapped in Afghanistan as the reason, and took control of Stark Industries from him.

Now that Obadiah is dead, the company's power structure needs to be reshuffled.
