Obadiah played a rather important role in Tony Stark's life.
Especially after the death of his father.
Not to mention helping Tony manage the entire company.
At that time, Tony was only in his early twenties, incredibly wealthy, with a genius mind, and that self-righteous temper of his.
He didn't know how much trouble and romantic entanglements he got into outside.
Obadiah was always the one who came forward to silently clean up the mess for Tony behind the scenes.
It was only after Pepper's appearance that he gradually withdrew from Tony's personal life.
Although he did it at the time to let Tony, this old hen, comfortably lay golden eggs for him.
But from Tony's perspective, he definitely had deep feelings for Obadiah.
A partner, a friend, an elder, even a father figure.
In fact, he knew something was wrong the moment he returned. His own company's weapons were in the hands of those terrorists.
Not many people could do all of that at once.
Tony Stark wasn't stupid. But once emotions between people were involved,
any genius would become half an idiot. He didn't want to think about it, and he was also a little afraid to find the answer himself.
Qin Xiao had only said half the sentence, and Tony already understood completely.
Over the years, Stark Industries had completely become the world's largest arms dealer.
Tony Stark's many inventions and designs had completely solidified their position in the arms market.
In other words, Tony had paved the way for future weapon designs.
All the scientists at Stark Industries had to do was follow Tony's path.
So, in Obadiah's eyes, Tony Stark had gone from a cash cow to a stumbling block preventing him from completely controlling Stark Industries.
Qin Xiao didn't need to explain these truths; as long as it was confirmed that Obadiah was behind it, Tony would understand on his own.
"Whew!~~"
He tilted his head back and downed an entire bottle of beer, then exhaled a heavy breath.
"So now, you're monitoring him with everything you've got, right?"
"I don't know. I'm just a temp, Tony. They wanted me because I'm a super soldier, but judging by his…goddamn way of doing things, probably. It's up to you!"
"Tony, you've seen the weapons those guys have. This is what we've seen. Who knows how much more there is that we haven't? Terrorists? Drug dealers?"
Qin Xiao said, watching Tony Stark hesitate.
"I know, I know. Even if I stop producing weapons, he'll still find a way, with the company's resources, to secretly produce and sell them himself."
Tony frowned, fiercely rubbing his hair.
"Give me some time. I'll make him leave the company. I'll give him a chance to enjoy his old age."
Tony still couldn't bear to do it.
Perhaps this was destined. The Iron Monger was destined to be born, to make the name Iron Man.
The difference is that Qin Xiao might be added to the equation now.
"Alright! I'll give them a heads-up and tell them not to act on their own!"
Qin Xiao agreed very readily.
He currently possessed thirty percent of the Hulk's strength. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his combat power might be insufficient later on.
But at this point in time, thirty percent of the Hulk's strength was simply a cheat.
The Iron Monger was nothing more than a slightly thicker cardboard box, just a bit more troublesome to tear apart.
"Tony, I understand how you feel. It's okay, there's no one else here. If you want to cry, just let it out. Come and lean on my broad shoulders, baby!"
"Get lost! Jarvis, contact the Los Angeles Police Department. Tell them a perverted freak has broken into my house!"
Qin Xiao didn't know what S.H.I.E.L.D.'s decision was regarding Obadiah.
He could only call Black Widow.
"Need something, intern?"
This time, there were no sounds of gunfire around Black Widow; it was very quiet.
"Yes, something big. I don't want to do this anymore. I thought I joined the biggest intelligence agency to become a mysterious agent, saving the world all the time, with sexy beauties as my partners!"
"Who knew I'd become an intern? Never mind not letting me save the world, but the beautiful female agent by my side has also disappeared. Sigh! Do you know what it feels like to miss someone so much you can't sleep?"
Qin Xiao's teasing caused Black Widow to let out a pleasant laugh.
"If you miss me that much, I'll come to Los Angeles to see you after this mission!"
Normally, every day was filled with tasks, and every conversation was about official business.
Qin Xiao's casual words, however, brought a different kind of feeling to Black Widow.
"You said it, if you lie, you're a puppy!"
Qin Xiao's childish words made Black Widow feel particularly sincere.
She laughed even more happily.
"Alright, if you lie, you're a puppy!"
"Okay, there's something I want to tell you, about Obadiah."
Qin Xiao repeated Tony's meaning.
Black Widow hung up the phone after listening and helped Qin Xiao ask around.
S.H.I.E.L.D. could respect Tony Stark's wishes, but the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would maintain surveillance on him.
Once they discovered some underhanded actions on his part, S.H.I.E.L.D. would immediately take action.
This could be considered an explanation to Tony. If Obadiah was seeking his own death, there was nothing that could be done.
"By the way, you just said you were executing a mission. What mission? Is it dangerous? Do you need my help?"
Once the main business was finished, Qin Xiao changed the subject.
"It's classified, Mr. Trainee Agent, your clearance isn't enough!"
Black Widow teased Qin Xiao.
After speaking, Qin Xiao felt the genuine concern in Qin Xiao's words and added another sentence.
"Don't worry, this mission is very safe, there's no danger!"
"Damn it, I swear, next time I see him, I'm going to smash Nick Fury's egghead!"
Qin Xiao said viciously, he was fed up with the title of intern agent.
"Egghead, hahaha! That nickname suits him perfectly, Nick would be furious if he knew!"
"Alright, I have to go now, wait for me in Los Angeles, okay! Intern agent!"
Black Widow also teased Qin Xiao, a rare occurrence.
After hanging up the phone, Black Widow stared blankly at the phone in front of her.
Qin Xiao was different from the people around her; the way he spoke, the way he cared, was just like any ordinary young person.
This was exactly what Black Widow lacked and craved. The feeling was warm.
"I'm not actually falling for this kid, am I!"
Black Widow muttered to herself, immediately dismissing the thought.
She gave a wry smile. In this lifetime, she probably wouldn't have the chance to experience that kind of ordinary happiness.
She casually tossed her phone onto the sofa. Qin Xiao looked at the night view outside the window.
At this moment, a square, golden portal suddenly appeared behind Qin Xiao.
A woman wearing a black combat suit with the TVA logo emerged from it.
Just as the woman stepped into Qin Xiao's apartment, a hand suddenly reached out from the doorway.
It directly pulled the woman back.
Then, the golden portal vanished immediately.
Qin Xiao suddenly felt something, and he turned his head sharply.
Empty.
Did I feel something wrong? Maybe I haven't slept well these past few days!
Qin Xiao scratched his head and said dejectedly.
