Chapter 27 The Extremist Virus! Obadiah's Test!
Gumira Valley.
It's completely unrecognizable, bearing no resemblance to its original appearance. If it weren't for the coordinates indicating this is the place, no one would have known that this was once a valley.
Dozens of terrorists were digging something with shovels, while a bald man stood on a high slope, watching them with a gloomy expression.
Raza never expected that the cooked duck would actually fly away.
Tony Stark! He's a living money tree!
Even if the wealthy patron is unwilling to pay for his life, he can still use the technology the patron possesses to amass massive wealth and continuously expand his power. Eventually, he will become the emperor of the Middle East!
And now?
He was only gone for a few days, and his house was burgled!
Thinking of this, his eyes grew colder and colder. He clutched a photograph tightly in his hand, and he now wished he could devour the person in the photograph alive.
"Boss, we found it!"
Just then, someone in the crowd dug out the computer wreckage.
"Bring it here."
He looked up and gave the order.
"Look, this is the computer Tony Stark used back then."
Raza's confidant, a bearded man, hurriedly took the computer wreckage and walked over to Raza.
"Find someone to recover all the data inside it."
Looking at the notebook riddled with holes, Raza frowned.
"It's no good, boss. The solid-state drive storing the data has been completely destroyed and is beyond recovery."
The bearded man called over his computer repairman, who glanced at the computer and, in less than a second, had the answer: there was no need to take it apart.
"Unrecoverable? That's not the answer I'm looking for."
Raza raised an eyebrow, pulled out a pistol, and aimed it at the man's head.
"Wait, wait a minute, boss!"
The subordinate trembled, breaking out in a cold sweat from fright. His mind raced, and he hurriedly said, "It really can't be repaired, but that big spender doesn't know that. Perhaps he's very interested; we can sell it to him."
"You mean taking advantage of information asymmetry?"
Raza's eyes flickered slightly, understanding what the other party meant.
"Yes, boss. This stuff is junk in our hands, but it's a different story in theirs. They'd definitely be willing to pay a high price for it."
His subordinates nodded hurriedly, like chicks pecking at rice.
"Boss, the surveillance video has been recovered!"
As Lazar was pondering how to maximize his profits, a startled cry suddenly rang out.
"Open it quickly!"
Without hesitation, he shouted immediately, completely forgetting about making money.
In comparison, he was more interested in how the people in the photo had breached his base.
"A feint attack? What kind of speed is that!?"
As he watched the elusive figure appear and disappear on the monitor, Raza's pupils contracted slightly.
To his astonishment, not only was the young boy incredibly skilled, but his marksmanship was also remarkably accurate. It was as if he had eyes in the back of his head, as he easily dodged all the bullets aimed at him, which was beyond his imagination.
His speed, in particular, was so fast that the surveillance cameras couldn't even capture it!
They were just here a moment ago, and the next second they were dozens of meters away!
Such speed is impossible even for a sprint champion; it completely exceeds human limits.
"Could he be a mutant?!"
Raza was shaken and couldn't help but speculate.
As far as he knew, every mutant possessed an extremely powerful superpower, very similar to the figure in the video.
Ordinary people have no way to deal with these kinds of people. Only by deploying mutants or mutated beings who also possess superpowers might they have a chance to kill them.
Thinking of this, something called the "Extremis Virus" that he had encountered in the past few days came to mind.
Although it is still a semi-finished product and very unstable, its power is enormous. The explosive force of the user's explosion is enough to devour everything within dozens of meters, instantly vaporizing them without giving anyone a chance to react.
"This is the only way, even if it comes at a huge cost!"
Raza's eyes flashed with malice as he stared at the crumpled photograph in his hand.
The other party not only rescued his cash cow, but also killed so many of his people. He must avenge this!
Cliffside villa.
Four glasses of red wine clinked together on the table.
"Cheers!"
"Welcome back safe and sound, Tony!"
Obadiah Stane wore a warm smile. After speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head to look at Horn sitting opposite Pepper Potts, patted his shiny bald head and said, "Oh, right, and our little Horn. Congratulations on successfully rescuing Tony."
L
"Thanks."
Horn returned the smile.
"Don't be so formal with thanks. I'm practically your uncle."
Obadiah Stane waved his hand, then his gaze returned to Tony, especially lingering on the miniature arc reactor on his chest. "Tony, I suggest you reconsider closing the weapons department. Otherwise, it won't be easy to explain to the board."
"Of course, if you don't mind, you can give me that reactor on your chest, and I'll get an engineer to analyze it and develop its technical specifications—"
Suddenly, he changed the subject, pointing to the reactor in Tony's chest, and said in a seemingly casual tone.
"No, absolutely not!"
Tony refused on the spot without even thinking about it, his attitude was very firm.
"Don't reject it so quickly. With it, the board of directors can also get a taste of success, and I can persuade them more easily."
Obadiah Stanislav raised an eyebrow and continued to persuade him.
"This will stay with me, that's it, don't even think about it."
Tony cut off a piece of steak and chewed it slowly, his gaze towards the other person unwavering.
"Alright, then you figure it out yourself."
Seeing this, Obadiah Stane didn't press the matter further to avoid arousing suspicion. He turned to Horn and changed the subject, "I heard you were also kidnapped a few days ago? What happened? Did they catch the culprit?"
He wanted to find out more about the other party. He originally thought that the other party had really been killed in the explosion as his subordinates said, so there was nothing to worry about. But now that the other party was still alive and well, he couldn't help but worry whether the other party had seen his bodyguard at the time.
"What? Kidnapping!?"
However, before Horn could answer, Tony suddenly stood up, looking at Horn in surprise, then at Pepper, "Why didn't any of you tell me about something so important?"
"What else could it be? Horn was afraid you'd worry."
Pepper Potts put down his wine glass and shrugged helplessly.
"Who is the murderer?"
Tony frowned and asked the same question as Obadiah Stane.
The difference is that he wants to make the murderers who hurt Horn pay a heavy price!
At this moment, he automatically ignored Horn's powerful fighting ability and only had the instinct to avenge him.
