No wonder he hadn't run into Obadiah!

Roy reflected inwardly.

Tony stared at him with an ugly expression and said, "Obadiah took the Miniature Arc Reactor. I was paralyzed. In the workshop, there is..."

"I know what's in the workshop. I saw the gift Pepper gave you."

After saying that, Roy turned and headed toward the workshop downstairs.

Before long, he returned to the living room carrying the glass case containing the Miniature Arc Reactor.

A sentence was engraved on the ring holding the Miniature Arc Reactor.

"Tony Stark has a warm heart."

He walked over to Tony, smashed the glass case, and took out the Miniature Arc Reactor inside.

He looked at the hollow in Tony's chest, then at the Miniature Arc Reactor in his hand. With a sigh, he said to Tony, "I'll go get Pepper. Hold on a little longer."

His hand was not large, and he could easily reach into the hollow in Tony's chest and install the Miniature Arc Reactor.

But he had no intention of installing it for Tony himself.

For one thing, he did not want to stick his hand into a man's chest.

For another, he did not want to touch the stuff inside that looked like "pus."

He knew it was not actually pus, but electrolyte produced by the equipment's operation.

But he still did not want to touch it.

Tony said weakly, "There isn't time to find Pepper. Hurry up and help me..."

Before he could finish, Roy vanished from his sight and reappeared on the rooftop of the Stark Industries Headquarters Building.

He had not left a Flying Thunder God Formula on Pepper, so he could not teleport directly to her side.

However, finding Pepper and bringing her back to Tony's seaside mansion would not take much time.

Chakra Sensing!

Without any effort, he locked onto Pepper's location.

Body Flicker!

The next second, his figure vanished from the rooftop.

Half a minute later, Roy returned to Tony's seaside mansion with Pepper.

When Pepper saw Tony slumped on the sofa with a pale face, she immediately took the Miniature Arc Reactor over to him and reached into the hollow in his chest.

Having already replaced Tony's Miniature Arc Reactor once before, she quickly completed the installation.

The Miniature Arc Reactor was installed, but Tony's expression was still terrible, and his body remained paralyzed.

Time passed bit by bit.

More than ten minutes later, the numbness in Tony's body finally began to fade.

After taking several deep breaths, he stood up with Pepper's help and looked at Roy seriously.

"I'll capture him myself. You just protect Pepper!"

"You're the employer. Your call."

Roy responded.

Tony nodded.

Just as he was about to head down to the workshop and put on the Mark 3 to deal with Obadiah himself, Pepper stopped him and quickly said, "You don't need to take the risk. We can contact the police or agents to arrest him."

"The police and agents can't handle him."

"Obadiah has Iron Man Armor too, and it's bigger than yours."

Roy took a USB drive from his pocket and tossed it to Tony.

Tony caught the USB drive and immediately replied, "Then I need to capture him myself even more."

In the workshop downstairs.

Tony put on the Mark 3 under Roy and Pepper's watchful eyes.

"Is there anything we need to do?"

Pepper said to Tony.

"Contact Rhode and have him stop the military from sending fighter jets."

After saying that, Tony lowered his helmet's faceplate and flew out through the ceiling he had smashed through a few days earlier.

Pepper took out her phone. As she searched for Colonel Rhode's number, she said to Roy, "I'm safe here. Can you follow him and protect him? I'm afraid something might happen to him."

"Of course."

Roy replied swiftly.

Even if Pepper had not asked, he would have followed along to watch the show.

"Then I'll leave him to you."

Pepper continued.

"Don't mention it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy vanished into thin air like a ghost.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

He did not lock onto the Flying Thunder God Formula on Tony. Instead, he locked onto the Flying Thunder God Formula on the rooftop of the Stark Industries Headquarters Building.

Although Tony was currently flying at high speed, he could still teleport to Tony's side if he wanted to.

Locking onto a moving Flying Thunder God Formula was a prerequisite for using Flying Thunder God: Second Step.

Not long after mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had also picked up Flying Thunder God: Second Step and Flying Thunder God Slash.

Perhaps his proficiency was still insufficient, or perhaps the system considered Flying Thunder God: Second Step and Flying Thunder God Slash merely combat applications derived from the Flying Thunder God Technique, so it did not display them under the ninjutsu section.

After arriving on the rooftop, he took Gaara's small gourd from the System Space and fastened it around his waist.

Sand Cloud!

The sand inside the small gourd flew out rapidly and gathered into a Sand Cloud.

Stepping onto the Sand Cloud, he controlled it and flew toward the factory housing the Large Arc Reactor.

The factory housing the Large Arc Reactor was very close to the headquarters building.

Before long, he arrived above the factory building.

At the same time, Tony arrived as well.

"Why are you here too? Didn't I tell you to protect Pepper?"

Tony's voice rang out.

"She was afraid you couldn't handle Obadiah, so she asked me to come keep an eye on you."

Roy said calmly.

"Where is Obadiah now?"

Tony asked.

"Sector 16 beneath the reactor."

Roy replied.

"Don't make a move yet."

"If I need your help, I'll tell you."

Tony continued.

"No problem."

Roy nodded.

Tony did not waste any more time and descended to the entrance of the factory building.

Just then, Obadiah, clad in the Iron Monger Armor, crawled out from the ground behind him.

"You don't want to keep making weapons, yet you created the most powerful and advanced armor of this era."

"I don't like fighting personally, but I have to say, I really like this armor!"

Obadiah said to Tony.

Tony said nothing and immediately attacked Obadiah.

He raised both hands and fired the Arc Pulse Cannons in his palms at Obadiah.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The golden pulse beams struck Obadiah's Iron Monger Armor precisely.

Then, they left two impact marks on the Iron Monger Armor.

Unable to penetrate enemy armor!

Clearly, the palm pulse beams were not powerful enough to pose any threat to Obadiah.

After realizing that the pulse beams could not penetrate the armor, Obadiah's voice rang out again as he mocked Tony.

"Your attacks are too weak!"

Before Tony could reply, Obadiah controlled the Iron Monger Armor to rush in front of him and swung his right fist at him.

Tony tried to block Obadiah's punch, but the Iron Monger Armor was clearly stronger than the Mark 3.

Bang!

With just one punch, Tony was sent flying dozens of meters and slammed heavily into the street outside.

Obadiah gave him no chance to get up. He came before him again and kicked him.

There was no suspense. Tony was kicked away by Obadiah like a soccer ball.

The battle that followed was exactly as Roy had expected.

Neither Tony nor Obadiah had received any combat training.

However, because of the difference in the armor's size and power, Tony was pinned to the ground and pummeled by Obadiah, with no chance to get back up.

Obadiah's attacks had no form at all, just simple punches and kicks.

Yet Tony still could not resist him and was beaten without any ability to fight back.

Bang, bang, bang...

Tony instinctively raised his arms to protect his head.

Just as Obadiah lifted his right foot and prepared to stomp viciously on his head again, a mass of sand wrapped around Tony's right arm like an octopus tentacle and yanked him out from beneath Obadiah's foot.

Before he could react, he heard Roy's voice.

"Find a coach and learn some unarmed combat when you have time. Your fighting skills are terrible."
