NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 26 - Lu Yuan's plan to scam Obadiah
Chapter 26: Lu Yuan’s plan to scam Obadiah
Lu Yuan knew that Tony was very sentimental, and it was very difficult to make him kill Obadiah all of a sudden.
However, he knew that Obadiah was definitely a disaster.
Although Obadiah sold weapons to enemies of the United States for money, these enemies were not good people either. The people that Obadiah contacted were members of the Ten Rings.
The members of Ten Rings were not kind people. Instead, they were even more ruthless.
The enemy of the enemy was not necessarily a friend.
The Ten Rings was similar to the Hydra. Both of them wanted to conquer the world, so they were absolutely villains.
Hydra had helped or joined the Chancellor during the Second World War.
Later, Hydra went underground and set up an undercover operation to fight against S.H.I.E.L.D.
On the other hand, the Ten Rings was still stirring up trouble all over the world. It was constantly stirring up wars and expanding its power.
In short, it was nothing good.
Speaking of which, Lu Yuan’s opinion on the Ten Rings was even greater because the Ten Rings could be said to be evidence of Marvel’s blackening of the East.
Especially, the existence of Mandarin.
This could no longer be mentioned, as it was a taboo.
However, he was a villain after all, so it was understandable. As long as he wasn’t deliberately blackened, it was still acceptable.
Furthermore, it was not like there were no superheroes in the Marvel World with an Asian face.
Let’s not mention that for now.
Obadiah had secret dealings with the Ten Rings, so he would be a hidden danger sooner or later.
Lu Yuan did not plan to let him go, but Lu Yuan had no choice but to retreat upon seeing Tony’s hesitation.
First, he had to make the necessary arrangements and wait for Obadiah to voluntarily take the bait. When things got out of control, even if Tony was unwilling, he would have to do it.
As for why Lu Yuan insisted on killing Obadiah, wasn’t the answer obvious? Lu Yuan was worried that Obadiah would join and give the armor to the United States. Once the United States became strong, the world would be restless.
Sometimes, Lu Yuan really wanted to say that he was a hero, and he came to overthrow the United States.
It was a pity that he couldn’t say that.
In this way, Lu Yuan and Tony reached an agreement.
After Tony was satisfied with his first flight test, the two of them returned to the villa through the entrance of the underground garage.
Tony had already agreed to Lu Yuan’s request, so he had no choice but to build another small arc reactor for him.
This was the difference between a genius and a mortal.
Even if Obadiah’s people had direct access to the large palladium Ark reactor, they couldn’t recreate it.
Tony, on the other hand, made it in less than half a night.
Furthermore, he deliberately created a low-quality product according to Lu Yuan’s request.
“Be careful,” Tony warned, as Lu took picked it up with his hand. “You know what it is, and just as you requested, it’s a low-quality product that’s inherently unstable. Be careful or else you will blow up both of us.”
This thing was a small, unstable bomb. It was a nuclear bomb with nuclear elements. It could easily flatten this place.
Lu Yuan did not care at all. “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will be able to hurt you. Even if a real nuclear bomb explodes, it’s nothing.”
Tony looked at the confidant Lu Yuan in surprise, but then he felt relieved because he was an alien.
At the same time, he had seen Lu Yuan’s true body. He believed that this was far from Lu Yuan’s true strength.
On Lu Yuan’s side, holding the dangerous little thing in his hand, he took a close look and asked, “If it’s installed on your second-generation Mark armor (again, although it’s called the second-generation, its performance was actually equal to the third-generation), how long can it be used if it is at full strength?”
Tony pondered for a moment and gave a rough estimate. “Thirty minutes. After this time, the energy will be exhausted, and there will be the danger of… self-destruction.”
Lu Yuan nodded to show that he understood. Suddenly he threw it to Tony and said, “From today onwards, you should keep this with you and hide the good one.”
“What do you mean?” Tony was shocked because he had already said that this inferior product was in danger of self-destruction.
Lu Yuan smirked: “Even if you don’t keep it on your body, you must put it in an important position. Otherwise, how can people believe that this is your masterpiece?”
Tony understood.
Lu Yuan was really very bad. He was trying to lure Obadiah to steal the inferior version of the ark reactor.
If Lu Yuan just gave it to Obadiah, he might be suspicious.
However, if Obadiah believed that this was Tony’s masterpiece, Obadiah would not doubt it.
Didn’t Lu Yuan roughly explain his plan before? He was going to lead Obadiah to steal the Ark Reactor, and at the same time, he would steal Obadiah’s data and criminal evidence.
All of it would happen in one fell swoop.
Tony shook his head. He was feeling sad for Obadiah.
That guy was very ambitious, but he didn’t know that he was calculated by Lu Yuan.
Most importantly, Obadiah had never thought that Lu Yuan and Tony would spend so much effort to frame him.
Obadiah did not know how much Tony knew, nor did he dare to believe that Tony would allow Lu Yuan to bring such important information and blueprints to him.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the value of that thing could change the current situation of the world.
If an army was equipped with 100,000 Iron Man suits, it would be able to sweep everything.
The power of the third-generation Mark suit was enough to ignore and destroy tanks and fighters.
Who would have thought that such an important thing would be bait?
Still, Obadiah’s capability was not enough. He did not realize that Lu Yuan was never concerned from the start because Lu Yuan knew that he would not be able to build an ark reactor even if he were given a blueprint.
The Iron Monger without energy was just a pile of iron lumps. It was useless and meaningless.
What’s more, Tony did not develop the first generation Mark armor from the beginning. Instead, he developed the second generation.
The most important thing was that from Tony’s point of view, this idea and technology were given by Lu Yuan. Its intellectual property right belonged to Lu Yuan. So what Lu Yuan wants to use it for, Tony had no right to interfere, right?
In short, Obadiah had reasons to believe Lu Yuan. Without God’s interference, Obadiah would never know what Lu Yuan was scheming against him.
Obadiah only thought that Lu Yuan was just a greedy business spy.
Therefore, when Lu Yuan came to find him this time, he did not doubt his intentions at all.
Lu Yuan went straight to the point and said, “I don’t think you guys have figured out how to create the small ark reactor, right? But Tony has already succeeded.”
Obadiah was startled and subconsciously said, “Give it to me.”
Lu Yuan smiled. “You have to pay more money.”
