Tony Is Shocked! You're Not From Around Here!

I saved you twice... no, counting the time with Electro, three times.

I didn't think you'd ever be able to repay me.

Hurry up and make what I want.

If I need anything in the future, I'll come looking for you again."

Tony said nothing.

Nor could he say anything.

All he could do was scream in his heart—

Bro! Could you install the reactor first?! I'm about to be done for!

Ahem... that wasn't quite the tone, but that was roughly what he meant.

But Obadiah, the shrewd businessman, caught the hidden meaning in Ye Li's words and immediately promised,

"Black Spider, I can provide whatever you need Tony to make for you!

And I can do it even better!"

He didn't ask what Ye Li wanted. Instead, he immediately made a bold promise, projecting a reassuring air of confidence.

Tony, trapped in silence, panicked—he couldn't speak right now, so he had no way to negotiate terms! This was unfair!

He felt that he and Black Spider weren't particularly close, and Black Spider really might switch sides and join Obadiah.

While Tony worried,

Obadiah continued tirelessly trying to win Ye Li over.

"As long as you withdraw from this matter, I can give you even more!

Wealth, power, beautiful women!

Ask for anything you want!"

Tony desperately wanted to speak as well—I can do that too! Don't listen to his bullshit!!

After Obadiah finished speaking,

he looked at Ye Li confidently.

"How about it?

I don't think anyone could refuse these terms. We'll have even more opportunities to work together in the future."

"You're so noisy."

Ye Li grabbed him by the throat,

"Uh, you—"

Obadiah, lifted into the air, clawed at the arm that gripped him like iron pincers, staring wide-eyed in disbelief!

Ye Li tilted his head.

"Have you perhaps gotten one thing wrong?"

"There is only one Tony Stark, but businessmen like you are everywhere..."

"You think too highly of yourself."

As Obadiah's legs thrashed desperately, Ye Li used his favorite execution method and snapped his cervical spine.

Though he had no grudge against Obadiah, since he had already acted, it was best to deal with a scoundrel like him.

Obadiah wasn't dead.

But he would spend the rest of his life as a vegetable.

That was, if Tony decided to spare his life.

Tony Was Shocked! You're Not a Local!

The blue-glowing Arc Reactor spun once in Ye Li's hand before he shoved it back into Tony's chest.

Bang.

Ye Li gave it a light punch, driving the Arc Reactor in and successfully connecting it.

"Cough! Cough!... Cough!!"

Tony coughed violently a few times before finally catching his breath.

He patted his chest and looked at Ye Li resentfully. "Buddy, could you be a little gentler..."

"Cut the crap."

Ye Li's tone was unfriendly. "Where's the armor? Don't tell me you still haven't finished it."

"It's already done. I was just about to notify you."

Tony propped up his weakened body and operated some controls.

A platform rose in the distance.

Several high-tech suits stood on it. They weren't Iron Man Armor; they were more form-fitting.

"This time, I have you to thank again."

Tony was genuinely grateful.

But his way of expressing it was hard to accept.

"[There's only one Tony Stark!]... Oh, if I were a woman, I'd be madly in love with you."

Ye Li took several suits and said disdainfully, "Say one more disgusting thing, and I'll twist your neck around too."

Hearing that, Tony glanced at Obadiah, whose neck was twisted on the ground, his expression complicated. "He..."

"He's not dead. Deal with him yourself."

After putting away several portable suits, Ye Li tossed Tony a black rod.

"Can you make this?"

"What is this?"

Tony saw a switch on it and pressed it curiously.

With a sizzling sound, blue light instantly shot out and sliced off one corner of a nearby table.

Fortunately, he had been holding it at an angle. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been just the table getting cut.

"Damn!"

Tony cried out and quickly held it upright. "You didn't tell me it was a lightsaber! I almost stabbed myself!"

"So, can you make it?"

Ye Li didn't care whether Tony stabbed himself. He had an enhanced Horse Talisman capable of bringing back the dead, and its ability to revive people was exceptional.

"Give me a moment."

Tony walked over to an instrument, deactivated the lightsaber, and placed it on top. "Jarvis, analyze its structure."

Soon, Jarvis projected a series of data and structural analysis diagrams.

Jarvis's voice sounded. "Sir, I recommend testing its maximum output."

"Later.

By the way, delete Obadiah's access privileges and raise Black Spider's permissions to the highest level."

As he gave the order,

Tony pulled up a structural analysis diagram of a crystal inside the lightsaber. "This is... the lightsaber's energy source?"

But Jarvis said,

"Sorry, sir, I cannot do that.

This Black Spider's information is isolated by a special force field and cannot be identified or entered."

"What the hell?"

Tony looked at Ye Li in amazement. "Are you an alien?"

"Just do your job properly."

Ye Li said flatly, "Whether I have access privileges doesn't matter. I can come and go here whenever I want."

"..."

What else could Tony say? Fine. Very impressive.

"I've found the most unusual part of this lightsaber."

Tony pointed at a crystal-shaped component projected on the screen. "It's this. Jarvis searched the database, and this planet doesn't have this material. And you still say you're not an alien."

Is this a Kyber Crystal?

This system-rewarded lightsaber didn't require its user to possess the Force. Ye Li had thought its structure would be different, but there was still a Kyber Crystal inside.

It seemed this Kyber Crystal was rather special, capable of igniting a plasma beam on its own.
