Chapter 31 Miss Potts Involved

Chapter 31 Miss Potts Involved

Who could have anticipated this? Obadiah never would have imagined that Leon was playing such a game with him, colluding right in front of Tony.

The blueprints that Leon brought to him turned out to be genuine, Tony's core technology. However, it now appears as though the idea was originally Leon's.

Furthermore, Leon was pressuring Obadiah to seize Tony's Ark reactor.

It was inconceivable for Obadiah to think that this was all a trap, a deceptive game.

So, it's not that Obadiah is foolish, but he never expected Leon and Tony to conspire against him from the very beginning.

The situation still needs to be arranged properly.

To put it simply, the technology Leon provided to Obadiah is equivalent to a nuclear weapon. Thus, its value goes without saying.

Leon didn't deceive him; what he provided was indeed authentic.

The issue arose because Obadiah's subordinates were unable to replicate the Ark reactor, leading to the current predicament.

Therefore, Obadiah had no reason to doubt Leon's sincerity; it's just that Leon doesn't mind giving it away.

What if Iron Monger is equivalent to a nuclear bomb? It's not a trivial matter. A past slap is now a heap of scrap metal, so Leon doesn't care.

These are things that Obadiah is unaware of, so naturally, he wouldn't doubt Leon.

"I will wire you the money before this afternoon, and we will hold the company's annual meeting three days from now. But if you dare to deceive me, we'll both suffer," Obadiah reluctantly agreed to Leon's conditions and would pay him $100 million.

That's a substantial amount of money, an astronomical sum for almost anyone.

Even the wealthiest person would feel the pinch if they had to part with $100 million just like that.

Moreover, considering the value at the time, this billion dollars can be compared to five billion dollars.

Inflation, foreign exchange depreciation, and even the country's status at that time all affect the true value of the dollar.

This is also a significant sum of money for Obadiah. Thus, he warned Leon fiercely that if he dared to deceive him, he would make Leon pay the price.

Even the fish will perish when the net is broken.

Leon didn't take it seriously at all, completely dismissing Obadiah's threat. He gestured triumphantly to Tony and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Tony and won't let him escape. He won't suspect that you'd come to steal, so you can enter his house without any obstacles. I'll tell you where the items are."

Obadiah let out a frustrated sigh. He had made his decision and had no choice but to proceed.

After hanging up the phone, Obadiah immediately instructed someone to contact Leon.

As Leon looked at the bank card information displayed on his phone, he whistled in delight. He enjoyed the feeling of having money in his account, especially considering the significant transactions he had with Obadiah recently.

Adding it all up, he now had $130 million in his possession.

In fact, when Leon sold the armor blueprints the last time, he had received 30 million from Obadiah.

Today, another 100 million arrived, leaving even Tony stunned. This method of making money seemed easier than Tony's own endeavors.

At least Tony had to develop and innovate himself. Look at how straightforward this is.

"Tony, if you don't pay me more, I might switch allegiance to Obadiah. Look how generous and charming they are, and then look at you," Leon pointed at Tony with his mobile phone, feigning heartbreak. It seemed as though he genuinely regretted his decision and was considering seeking refuge with Obadiah.

Tony is speechless. "Big brother, who is taking care of you now?" he asks, realizing that Leon was about to be a nanny for him.

And Tony's wines, worth tens of millions, were all consumed by Leon as if they were mere boiled water. What did he say?

"This man is simply unreasonable," Tony thought, countering, "Not to mention that we have already agreed that when Obadiah is overthrown, his shares will be handed over to you. Isn't that enough to satisfy your appetite?"

Pepper Potts, standing nearby, was once again stunned by the exchange.

In fact, there are two major shareholders on the board of directors of the group: Tony, naturally, and Obadiah.

The entire group can be considered as belonging to the two of them; the other shareholders together will not have much influence.

To put it simply, Tony and Obadiah together hold 40% of the group's shares, with the remaining 20% controlled by the other members of the board of directors.

"Why do you want to transfer 40% of the shares to Leon?" Pepper Potts asked, shocked by the immense value.

Just look at Tony's financial resources.

Pepper Potts couldn't understand, but Tony didn't think it was an exaggeration at all. In his opinion, using this 40% share to secure Leon by his side would yield substantial benefits.

Firstly, Leon is his savior, and Tony knows firsthand how formidable Leon's strength is.

Moreover, even without considering the aforementioned reasons, the knowledge of alien technology in Leon's mind alone is enough to justify the hefty price.

The advanced technology that Leon might bring is exactly what Tony urgently needs and desires.

Tony is a shrewd individual; he wouldn't engage in a transaction that would lead to losses.

Once the company becomes Leon's, he will undoubtedly help develop newer technological weapons, ensuring a brighter future for the company.

Furthermore, by transferring Obadiah's shares to Leon, Tony not only wins people's loyalty but also eliminates an enemy, instilling hope and a promising future for the company.

"This transaction is simply profitable," Tony concluded.

"It's your turn now. Aren't you going to treat us to something to eat?" Tony retorted, hoping to gain something from Leon in return.

Leon had enjoyed his food and drinks before, and today it was his turn to contribute.

However, Leon promptly put away his mobile phone and changed the topic without hesitation, saying, "Do you have time to think about this? We have three days left to take action. First, you should assess if there's room for improvement and repairs in the battle suit. Additionally, our initial plan was to guide Obadiah into stealing things while collecting potential evidence stored in his computer. Have you considered what to do?"

Pepper Potts, who had been observing them without understanding a word, continued to do so.

Initially, Tony wanted Leon to steal Obadiah's computer information.

However, Leon found that troublesome and instead gestured to Pepper Potts, signaling her with his eyes. "I'm not good at duplicating, and I need to keep an eye on you. If I suddenly disappear, Obadiah will undoubtedly realize that he's been tricked. Besides, you need to inform Miss Potts about the situation since she's already involved."

This guy.
