I, Doomsday, Stayed Inside the Sun’s Core for a Hundred Thousand Years! - CH 40
Chapter 40: Lu Yuan: I am Iron Man, Tony: I am the one
It was a pity that he couldn’t scam Tony. Otherwise, Lu Yuan’s assets would have doubled.
They were talking about a new element, after all. An element that could replace palladium was very important.
According to the background setting of the Marvel universe, the first atomic bomb in the United States was invented by Howard.
Howard had long discovered the instability of palladium, so he looked, observed, and discovered this new and more stable element.
It was a pity that Howard was restricted by the lack of technology, so he had to leave it to Tony.
That was why it was said earlier that if Howard was still alive, there would be nothing to do for Tony.
A genius father who could educate a genius son even after his death. It had to be said that Howard was truly amazing.
Of course, it was not the time for this yet. It was not like Lu Yuan wanted to scam Tony for a large sum of money, nor was there any other reason. It was just that there were still many things to be done.
Although Obadiah died, he was one of the largest shareholders of the Stark Group and he had been a famous man for so many years.
Because he died too suddenly, so someone had to give an explanation.
Originally, Tony had already grasped enough evidence of the crime, and even Coulson could testify that it was indeed Obadiah who had attacked others first.
However, S.H.I.E.L.D. did not choose to release the evidence of Obadiah’s guilt and cause of death in the end. Instead, they informed Tony to publicly state that Obadiah died in a plane crash.
Why was this happening?
They did this because Stark Industries had always been an important source of tax revenue for the United States, and it also fed the families of many people.
Even though Obadiah once colluded with the Ten Rings, which was the enemy of the United States, once this evidence was made public, the reputation of the Stark Industries would fall inevitably because Obadiah had a very high status in the company.
No matter how it was considered, letting him disappear silently like this was the best choice.
From here, one could see the big picture of S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as its loyalty towards the United States.
Lu Yuan sneered and felt disdain.
That’s why he didn’t join S.H.I.E.L.D. because S.H.I.E.L.D. was one of the subordinate organizations of the United Nations. Logically speaking, they should serve the United Nations.
But in reality? They had always been focused on the United States. They were nothing more than a lapdog of the United States.
Wouldn’t joining them mean becoming a lackey of the United States?
Lu Yuan still wanted to blow up the United States with a punch, so how could he join such an organization?
In addition, at the press conference that was held regarding the explosion incident of the Stark Industries, Tony said that he was attacked. Eventually, he was rescued by the recently mentioned Iron Man.
Because of the mention of Iron Man, all the present reporters became excited. They wanted to know Iron Man’s real identity.
Before the press conference began, Coulson gave Tony a note, which was the script of his speech. It said that he should pass the identity of Iron Man to his bodyguard.
So that’s what he said: “It’s my bodyguard.”
Lu Yuan also stood up and waved at everyone. “That’s right, it’s me.”
Tony, Little Pepper, and even Coulson, who was in the crowd, looked at him together.
How shameless.
Are you Iron Man? Didn’t you call yourself Superman?
However, Lu Yuan did not care about them at all. He even secretly winked at Tony, meaning that since Tony did not want this title, then he would not be polite either.
Tony held back. However, he was not the kind of person who could walk in the night, so he finally couldn’t hold it back, and said, “Actually, I am Iron Man. That’s right, I am Iron Man. ”
In an instant, the entire room was on fire. The reporters, who hadn’t reacted to previous news just now, turned into waves and drowned Tony in an instant.
Lu Yuan was still a bodyguard, after all. So he had no choice but to step forward to protect Tony. He was worried that Tony would be attacked.
As a result, Lu Yuan himself was trampled several times by someone in the chaos.
When he turned his head to look, it turned out to be a beautiful and good-looking reporter.
Wasn’t this the beauty who had interacted with him at the party that day?
At that time, Lu Yuan thought that she was some big celebrity, but she turned out to be a reporter.
“What the hell is going on?” The reporter approached Lu Yuan because the two of them had known each other before, so she wanted to get some information from him.
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. “Do you want to know the inside story?”
The latter nodded.
Lu Yuan smiled: “You have to add money. No, you don’t need to pay money.”
Seeing his despicable appearance, the beautiful reporter was so angry that she gritted her teeth and fiercely said, “Then I might as well directly go to Tony.”
Well, it seemed right.
Tony was a playboy, and as long as it was a beauty, he would not refuse anyone.
Furthermore, he had already exposed himself as Iron Man, so of course, he did not need to be concerned.
Lu Yuan didn’t care either. If he wanted women, there were plenty of them on Earth.
There was nothing else on Earth apart from humans.
He hadn’t met a girl who could make his heart race. Otherwise, he would definitely pursue her.
After Tony revealed his identity as Iron Man, this press conference obviously couldn’t continue.
Before ending the press conference, Tony said, “Due to Mr. Obadiah’s departure, we have decided to transfer his shares to Mr. Lu Yuan.”
And just like that, Lu Yuan, who was a small bodyguard before, replaced Obadiah as one of the largest shareholders and became another giant of the Stark Industries.
Everyone was shocked. Only Lu Yuan knew that Tony would not make a loss. It was better to say that Tony was too smart.
Since Lu Yuan had become one of the shareholders of the company, how could he not bring out those technologies that were more advanced than Earth’s current technology to develop the company?
Even if it was meant to bribe Lu Yuan, it was worth it.
Even the Iron Monger’s armor looked like a thin piece of paper in front of Lu Yuan, let alone Tony’s Iron Man suit?
Tony wasn’t stupid. For the sake of protecting his little life, he had to firmly tie Lu Yuan to him.
Otherwise, with Tony’s character that offended many people all over the world, there might be someone who was willing to spend 1 billion just to take his life.
Obadiah was also stupid. He should have taken out a bargaining chip that could impress Lu Yuan and asked him to kill Tony. Then he would be fine.
In short, Obadiah’s sudden death did not cause too much of a stir, and it passed peacefully.
On the other hand, Lu Yuan became the biggest winner. Not only did he cheat Obadiah of 1030 million, but he also got 40% of his shares for nothing. Tony gave these shares to Lu Yuan for free. As for how much money he spent on buying back these shares, it had nothing to do with Lu Yuan.
Tony had the most money, anyway.
Just before the press conference ended and Lu Yuan was about to leave with Tony and Little Pepper, Coulson came up and said to him, “BOSS wants to see you.”
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face, but his words were cold: “Do I have to go there if he wants to see me? Maybe my last words were not clear? Or do I really have to do as I said and destroy a state with one punch so that you will be afraid of my power? Tell him to get his ass over here.”
Coulson coughed lightly and spoke with an unconcerned expression, “How did Miss Potts get my business card?”
Lu Yuan looked at Coulson and asked, “Are you sure you want to waste my favor like this?”
Well, he did owe Coulson a favor, so he could only obediently follow him to see Fury.
