In the workshop, Tony is doing his own experiments.

"Okay, try to succeed in the experiment."

Tony put on simple armor boots. At this time, the armor was made of stainless steel and was very heavy. He relied on his own strength to move it.

The ground is noisy when walking on it!

"Huh..."

He turned his head and looked at the robot beside him, which was constantly moving its tubular "head".

"Dum-E, be smart and be ready to put out fires at any time."

"And, you, start shooting!"

"OK, start manual control."

"Huhu..."

Tony moved his body a little, trying to keep his body functions in balance. He took a breath and started...

"Let's get some insurance first, let's see what the axial load supporting capacity is like at 10%."

"Go, three... two... one!"

Press the handbrake--

Boom--boom!

Tony was completely attached to the back wall, making a muffled groan.

"Hmm..."

Then, Dum-E jet is extinguishing the fire.

"It doesn't seem to work. We need to recalculate."

--

I don't know how many hours passed, but Pepper walked in with coffee and burgers.

"I kept calling you, didn't you hear the intercom?"

"Uh, yes, this is a bit... what are you calling me for?" Tony was fiddling with his armor arms, trying to adjust his flight balance.

"Obadiah is here, you... what should we do?" Pepper was a little panicked!

"OK, okay, I'll go up in a moment. And, you... Just stay normal, normal! Don't treat him as a traitor, relax, take it easy, just stay normal. Take a deep breath, -- exhale -- inhale --" Tony comforted.

"Huh--" Pepper took a deep breath. Although he felt much more relaxed, he was still very worried, "You don't have to worry about me. I'm just worried... that he's going to start to get angry."

"Don't worry, as long as my research... is successful, he will... not be a problem anymore." Tony said arrogantly.

"Didn't you say you won't make weapons?" Pepper was puzzled.

Looking at Tony's pose, it looked like a weapon, but he just held a press conference the day before yesterday. Also, Tony never told her what exactly he was studying. With her brain, she couldn't quite understand it.

"This is not a weapon... this is a flight stabilizer, it can't do any harm!"

I pressed the button with full confidence, and the result - bang, the person was gone, and several design drawings floated on the spot.

"I didn't expect this."

Lying in a pile of garbage, Tony expressed his innocence.

After going upstairs and seeing his father's partner Obadiah again, Tony was in two different moods. On the one hand, he was on guard, but on the other hand... although he didn't think Kino might deceive him, he was still a little... uncertain.

"How's the company doing?"

Let's test it out first.

In the past few days, except for holding a press conference when he came back and then going to the company, he has been staying in the workshop of the villa to study his armor!

Obadiah is still playing the piano, pretending to be calm and elegant. An old fox will always be an old fox.

A cunning comparison.

"Still bad?"

"I brought you good pizza, not because things were bad..."

"Hmm, the pizza is pretty good." Tony took out a piece.

Pepper was a little nervous and glanced at him. This was brought by Obadiah. Aren't you afraid of him poisoning you?

Tony turned to look at her, smiled, took out a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He blinked slightly, meaning: The old fox is here to test me, I have to eat, and... poisoning him is the most impossible way to do it with the old fox's behavior.

What Obadiah has to do is to prove himself, to prove that without him Tony, he can still play Stark Industries, or even play better!

Obviously, what this kind of person wants is to be superior to him in terms of ability, and he will only kill when all the chips are lost. But now, it is obvious that Obadiah feels that he still has many tricks and chips that are useless.

Only low-level people would poison themselves as soon as they come up.

Tony is still going to play the playboy brother who has no sense of crisis, so it is impossible for him not to eat pizza. And apart from eating hamburgers, he also likes pizza.

So he has to eat it no matter what.

But just to be on guard, he would not swallow it.

In fact, he didn't plan to say much to Obadiah.

"The result would definitely be better if you were there." Obadiah left the piano and walked over.

"You told me to keep a low profile, so I kept a low profile. I have to rest for a while, and you will take care of it..." Tony bit into a piece of pizza and said while "biting" it.

But actually...

When I took out a tissue to wipe my mouth, I spit it out perfectly. The "biting" movement in my mouth was just an act, to confuse Obadiah.

"Come on, I mean to the news media, this is a board meeting!"

Seeing Tony eating the pizza, Obadiah secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party did not doubt him.

"Board meeting?" Tony paused slightly.

Pepper next to her was also slightly stunned. Could it be that Obadiah is really going to use the board of directors to squeeze Tony as she thought? This is a very common and effective move in commercial companies.

"The board of directors feels that you are under too much pressure after your injury, and they want to pass an injunction to keep you away from the company."

If there were still some doubts before, now, Tony is sure in his heart! After all, even Pepper has been right, but he still maintains his usual playboy temperament.

"Why, why? Because the stock plummeted 40 points?"

"It's 56.5 points." Pepper is also doing his job conscientiously.

"It doesn't matter, we control the company's shares."

"Tony, the board of directors also has power, they are looking for reasons to fire you! They say that your goals are not consistent with the interests of the company!"

"This is my new goal, and it is also the company's... OK, that's enough, I'm going back to the workroom!" Tony stood up, and his face was livid when he turned his back.

"Hey, Tony, Tony... I want to help you reverse this passive situation, but you also have to help me. Give me something to fool them and let the engineers analyze this!" Obadiah pointed at Tony's chest, and the old fox finally revealed the purpose of this trip.

"NO... NO! Absolutely not! That's it, don't pay attention. OK, I'll leave the pizza to you."

"Hey, Tony, Tony--"

Pepper stood up to see off the guests. "That's what he is like!"

"You know, I am also here for Stark Industries, for Tony's good!" Obadiah shook his head and walked away.

At 7:30 in the evening, Kino rushed towards Stark's villa, and when he was halfway there, he found a "robot" flying into the sky.

Very fast.

Kino was secretly stunned. "MK2 was built so quickly?"

It's only been three or four days. It seemed like it took him 11 days originally, right? Maybe it's because of the Obadiah pressure he's facing now?

"My dear, you go alone first, I will come back later."

With that said, he also flew into the sky and chased after MK2.

JARVIS: "Sir, an unknown energy body is approaching."

"What?"

Tony was stunned for half a second, and then he saw a white person flying next to him.

"Tony Shit Tucker, I really underestimated you. You made a brand new Iron Man Armor so quickly."

"Are you...Kino·Marcus?"

"That's right, it's me. Do you want to see who is faster?" Kino asked.

"Extremely happy!"

Whoosh--
