People are in the United States: the starting point is full of intelligence

Chapter 19 Obadiah
Coulson drove Itlake with him to the downstairs of the Stark Building.

Pepper, who is wearing a white-collar business attire and a short skirt covering the hips, is already waiting here.

"Hi, Miss Pepper, I'm Itlake, I spoke to you on the phone not long ago."

Itlake held out his hand to Pepper, and they held each other.

"Come up with me."

The three of them took the elevator upstairs, and the Stark Building was more magnificent than the Osborne Building——

Although Osborne is also a top technology company, after all, it specializes in the direction of biopharmaceuticals. Stark Industries has a complete production line with all subjects in heavy industry. The whole building is full of mechanical and AI intelligent elements, giving people a feeling A sense of technology and a sense of the future.

The three of them came to a coffee shop on the upper floor. There are floor-to-ceiling windows on one side, overlooking the panorama of half of New York City. The lighting effect is very good. On the other side, there are a few scattered chairs and low tables for employees to rest here.

"Obadia."

Eitlake sat down and said a name.

"What? Obadiah is a veteran scientist of Stark Industries and one of the largest shareholders. How could he assassinate Tony?" Pepper's eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief.

Pepper wanted Itlake to produce evidence, and Itlake said:

"You can go to Obadiah's computer and see if you can get evidence?"

Pepper said: "This is nonsense! I have no reason to doubt a senior figure in the company!"

Itlake said: "Miss Pepper, please calm down and think carefully——

Who would ultimately benefit if Tony Stark was attacked and killed?
Who will be the largest shareholder in Stark Industries?And who is most qualified to be the chairman of Stark?

If you don't want to admit it, then think again——

Who on earth has the right to prevent weapons from being destroyed and re-sold into the Middle East and North Africa? "

Coulson said: "Pepper, what Itlake said makes sense. Apart from you, Tony's representative, only Obadiah can do this kind of thing."

Pepper still couldn't convince himself, and said: "Okay, I'll go to Obadiah to find out now!

Coulson, you wait here with Itlake for a while! "

Pepper's style of behavior is worthy of her nickname "Little Pepper", and she left in a hurry.

Itlake said: "Mr. Coulson, should we take advantage of this time to walk around Stark Tower?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"Go and see Mr. Stark's inventions.

He had invited me to join Stark Tower before, but at that time I had unfinished business in Osborne, so I was delayed, and I can just go and see it today. "

"If you must go, then I can only accompany you."

Itlake and Coulson took the elevator to the top floor. After passing through the corridor, there was a closed glass door in front of them, which could only be opened by entering a password or pupil recognition.

Coulson shrugged and said, "It seems that we are not welcome here—"

"Oh!"

"Whoa!!"

Eitlake smashed the glass door with one kick:
"Now it welcomes."

Itlake stepped in, and Coulson trotted to keep up:

"Hey, are you crazy? What are you doing?"

Itlake quickened his pace, looking for something, and said: "There is no time, we want to stop the ghost of the Stark company."

"I think you're the one who looks the most like an insider! This is crazy!"

This is Tony Stark's research hall, where there are more than a dozen sets of steel mechs on display, located on the circular machine tool in the center of the hall, and an unfinished set of red and yellow armor.

Eitlake came to the operating table, quickly clicked on the panel with both hands, and the mechanical arms around the prototype machine started to work.

Coulson took out his pistol, pointed it at Itlake, and said:
"Eitlake, whatever you are about to do, I order you to stop immediately!
Don't forget, your good friend Hannah is still on our hands! "

Itlake was still operating quickly, his eyes scanning the information that popped up on the panel, and said: "Agent Coulson, I suggest you put down the pistol, the situation is critical now!
Instead of listening to my explanation, why don't you count three numbers with me. "

Coulson's face was full of question marks: "What?"

"Count down to three with me—

3--

2--

1--"

"boom!!!"

……

After leaving Itlake and Coulson, Pepper hurried to Obadiah's office.

As the personal secretary to Tony Stark, the cynical rich second generation, Pepper has a lot of power, and of course he also bears a lot of responsibility.

The work that Tony let go is fully represented by Pepper, so there are still many times when Pepper and Obadiah meet. She doesn't believe that this old man with a white beard will do such a thing.

When I came to Obadiah's office, the door was locked.

Pepper wanted to wait for Obadiah to come back, but Eitlake's words lingered in her mind. After thinking about it, she took out the access control card with the highest authority of Stark Company, and tapped it on the sensor slot. Swipe, the door opens—

Pepper walked in, sat on Obadiah's office chair, turned on the computer, entered the number of the batch of weapons that needed to be destroyed in the search bar, and clicked the OK button——

A series of weapons transportation information showed that these weapons that should have been destroyed were actually re-sold under the authorization of Obadiah!

Moreover, the proceeds from the sale were transferred to an unknown account. This is a huge sum of money, and Obadiah can use it to do many things!
Pepper felt that his cognition had been refreshed, Obadiah would do such a thing!
So could the man behind Tony's kidnapping in the Middle East...

Pepper stepped up to check Obadiah's computer, and finally recovered a secret video in the recycle bin——

The background in the video is the desert in the Middle East, and there are several militants with guns facing the camera, speaking in broken English:
"Obadiah, you didn't tell us that the kidnapped person was Tony Stark, if we had known this, we should have charged more!
Send another $500 million to our account immediately, or we'll let Tony go after he's built us a missile! "

Seeing this, Pepper immediately turned off the video, took out the USB flash drive, and copied Obadiah's criminal evidence.

But at this moment, footsteps came from outside the door, and after seeing the door of his office being opened for no reason, the footsteps became more hurried.

The door was pulled open.

"Miss Pepper, what are you doing in my office?"

Pepper squeezed out a smile and said, "I, I'm here to send you a first-quarter income report. Seeing that you're not here, I put it on the desk."

While Pepper was talking, he peeked at the copying progress on the computer with his eyes——

24%...

47%...

88%...

It finally reached 100%, and the words copy success popped up. Pepper said: "I still have some things to deal with. Regarding the income report, we will talk about it at the meeting tomorrow afternoon."

Pepper pulled out the USB flash drive, got up and left, but was grabbed by Obadiah's wrist——

"Wait a minute, you may have forgotten something."
