Chapter 48: Tony Stark’s Choice
Malibu Beach, inside Tony Stark’s Villa!
“How does it feel to be once again praised and reported on by the media?”
Lynn Hall poured himself a glass of red wine, looked at Tony Stark, and asked with a smile, “You know, a lot of people online are full of praise for your mechanical prosthetics right now!”
“Isn’t this normal?”
Facing Lynn’s question, Tony Stark spread his hands, “You know, I could make circuit boards at four, engines at six, I entered MIT at fifteen, and by seventeen, I had double bachelor's degrees in physics and engineering!”
“I’m already used to things like being praised by the media and the public.”
“Really? I remember not long ago, when you announced the permanent closure of the weapons manufacturing department, they cursed you terribly!”
Lynn said with a smile, looking at Tony, who pretended to be nonchalant on the surface but was actually full of arrogance.
“Hmph, they’re just a bunch of stupid groundhogs!”
Just thinking about how both the media and experts had heavily criticized his decision recently, and even board members had pressured him, Tony Stark couldn't help but curse.
“However, during the time you were criticized, Stark Industries’ stock price dropped by 70%, and I took the opportunity to buy low and make a fortune!”
“Tsk, it seems you have foresight. The only thing I want to know now is if those old farts on the board will feel their faces hurt!”
Tony Stark picked up his glass, clinked it conceitedly with Lynn, and then guzzled down the wine!
“I don’t know if their faces hurt, I only know that you’ll have a headache very soon!”
Saying that, Lynn Hall handed a USB drive to Tony Stark, “This is what you asked me to investigate for you. It contains detailed records!”
Looking at the USB drive Lynn handed over, Tony Stark’s expression became serious.
Taking the USB drive and plugging it into his computer, Tony Stark opened its contents and started reading.
Before long, Tony Stark’s expression gradually turned ugly, “Although I had my suspicions, I really didn’t expect him to be so deranged!”
Lynn Hall sipped his red wine, watching Tony Stark’s furious reaction as he confronted Obadiah Stane’s criminal evidence.
A moment later.
Tony Stark, having calmed down, closed his laptop and then looked at Lynn, saying, “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome!”
Facing Tony’s thanks, Lynn Hall asked, “What are you going to do next? If you want him to be brought to justice, then I’ll have someone arrest him directly!”
Regarding Obadiah Stane’s favorability, Lynn felt it was time for Guest Room No. 1 to welcome a new guest!
“Phew.”
Draining the wine in his glass, Tony Stark was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I don’t understand why he had to do this?”
“For money? He has enough money for several lifetimes now. For power? Stark Industries has always been managed by him. As for fame and status, he lacks neither!”
“But…”
“But Stark Industries belongs to Stark, I think that’s the biggest reason!”
Hearing Lynn instantly pinpoint the reason for Obadiah Stane’s actions, Tony Stark fell silent once again.
“Let me think… Let me think…”
Until he saw Lynn Hall off, Tony Stark never said the words asking Lynn to help with the arrest!
Half an hour later.
When Pepper came to help clean the room, the living room of the Villa was a mess.
Cups and wine bottles were scattered everywhere, and even the pure wool carpet was soaked with wine.
“Tony…”
Looking at Tony Stark’s bloodshot eyes, Pepper stepped forward with concern to ask.
But Tony shook his head and said, “I’m fine.”
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, Pepper still stepped forward to comfort him, saying, “No matter what happens, I’ll be with you.”
Facing Pepper’s gentle comfort, Tony forced out a small smile, “So, being so thoughtful, are you hoping your boss will give you a raise?”
“If possible!”
“Don’t even think about it!”
Leaning on the sofa, Tony Stark stared at the ceiling and mumbled, “I always trusted him, Pepper, I even treated him like an uncle!”
“But FUXX!”
Looking at Tony, who appeared heartbroken and betrayed, Pepper pondered for a moment, then got up to help him clean the living room.
Watching Pepper quietly tidying the living room, Tony Stark’s eyes were full of hesitation.
Manhattan, inside the large flat on Central Park.
Using the black card given by the Vampire, Lynn Hall finally bought the large flat he had been longing for.
Not only that, but Lynn Hall also specially built a training room.
Inside the training room at this moment, Lynn Hall was testing Gwen’s abilities.
Bitten by a spider, Gwen’s speed, strength, and agility were all excellent, and her Spider-Sense could even predict the enemy’s attack methods.
The only thing she lacked was having speed and strength but no combat skills whatsoever.
Dealing with thugs on the street was fine, but once she encountered a true master, she would definitely suffer a great loss.
Just like Lynn, if the recent test had been a fight to the death, then during the exchange, Lynn could have easily counter-killed her at any moment.
“Phew… Lynn, you’re not right!”
After stopping the test, Gwen looked at Lynn Hall and said, “Although you held back when you fought me just now, your strength is clearly not at a normal person’s level!”
“And for a full ten minutes, I couldn’t even touch the corner of your clothes. How is that possible?”
“Could it be that you were also bitten by a spider?”
Looking at Gwen’s sparkling eyes, Lynn Hall raised his hand and gently tapped her on the head, “I’m a top Agent. Your reaction time is good, but your combat skills are simply horrible.”
Saying that, Lynn turned around to get Water.
Watching Lynn’s back, Gwen’s eyes darted.
Then she picked up a baseball from the ground and threw it directly at Lynn’s back.
The moment the baseball touched Lynn’s back, his entire person disappeared from Gwen’s sight.
Her Spider-Sense instantly detected someone behind her, but before she could turn around, Lynn directly hugged her from behind.
“Tsk, still trying to ambush me?”
Kissing Gwen’s earlobe, Lynn smiled, “What, you really want to know my extraordinary abilities? Are you satisfied now?”
Although the ability to teleport was Lynn’s trump card for survival, Lynn had no intention of hiding it from Gwen.
Firstly, Gwen would definitely keep his secret, and secondly, after Gwen became Spider-Woman, the two of them would definitely have opportunities to fight side by side in the future.
If two people fighting side by side were not familiar with each other’s abilities, they would definitely not be able to maximize their effectiveness.
