Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he just wants to be a superhero
#44 - Obadiah's Malice
Obadiah is Stark Industries' largest shareholder besides Tony, and also Tony Stark's elder and close friend.
Seeing that Obadiah wanted to talk to Stark Industries' new shareholder, the directors and entrepreneurs surrounding Harry unanimously withdrew, leaving a space for them nearby.
As a top figure in the upper class, Obadiah has countless connections with the military and government, and they cannot afford to offend him.
With irrelevant people leaving one by one, Obadiah smiled with satisfaction, moved a chair, and sat closer to Harry.
He glanced over the plates piled up on the table, a gentle smile squeezed out of his stern face:
"The steak at this restaurant is delicious, and I like it very much, but I can only eat three servings at most, and I can't eat any more. I really envy young people's appetite."
Because of Tony, Harry had a good impression of Obadiah as an elder.
But meeting him today, he found that Obadiah didn't seem so friendly, and seemed to have a faint malice towards him.
Why, is it because Tony gave him 5% of the shares?
Harry remained calm and smiled: "I haven't eaten it before, I ate a little more today, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Obadiah."
"That's right, what a coincidence, I also came to dine, I didn't expect to see Tony's friend, I happen to have something I want to talk to you about."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Harry, I wonder if you plan to sell the shares in your hand?"
"Shares?" He didn't expect that Obadiah's purpose was the shares in his hand.
Obadiah said he met him by chance, Harry didn't believe it at all, this was undoubtedly Obadiah investigating his whereabouts, and then he came to this restaurant specifically for a 'chance encounter'.
So what does Obadiah want to do by acquiring the shares?
Undoubtedly, it is to increase his say in the Stark Industries board of directors.
This doesn't seem like the image of a hardworking, good-natured elder working for Stark Industries that Tony described.
Seeing that Harry's expression was a little strange, Obadiah quickly explained:
"Harry, I'm doing this for your own good. Since Tony closed the weapons development department, Stark Industries' market value has been falling again and again. Today, it has dropped from five trillion US dollars to three trillion US dollars.
If nothing unexpected happens, this situation will continue. By then, the shares in your hand will be greatly devalued, so why not sell them to me? I can pay 100 billion US dollars to buy them!"
Harry refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Mr. Obadiah, please allow me to refuse, I will not sell the shares in my hand.
Not only because these shares are a gift from Tony, but also because I believe in Tony, he will definitely invent other technologies to reverse the situation. Maybe the shares in my hand will be more valuable than before."
If he didn't know the inside story, the price Obadiah offered was indeed very good.
But Harry knows Tony's backhand, whether it is the various technologies derived from the Iron Man armor, or the most critical Arc Reactor, any one technology can bring endless wealth.
Obadiah couldn't possibly not know these two technologies, so he seems to be kind, but in fact, he wants to use a low price to deceive the shares in Harry's hand. Harry will naturally not agree.
After being rejected, Obadiah's face suddenly froze there, and Harry immediately felt a more obvious malice, and even a hint of killing intent.
Obadiah wants to kill him!
But soon, Obadiah regained his kind face, but this kind face was too fake, like a moon floating in the water, it would break with a touch.
He stood up, patted Harry on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Not bad, Tony is lucky to have a friend like you. If you want to sell the shares in your hand in the future, you can contact me. I'll go first, there is a business meeting over there."
"Goodbye, Mr. Obadiah, I wish you a happy life."
Watching Obadiah leave, Gwen, who had just been a little transparent, suddenly said: "Harry, I... I feel that Mr. Obadiah doesn't seem as friendly as he looks on the surface."
Gwen's tone was erratic, obviously she was not sure of her guess, but out of concern for Harry, she still said it.
Harry was very surprised, she didn't expect Gwen's intuition to be so keen, she didn't have such a keen perception as herself.
Harry showed his white and neat teeth and patted Gwen on the head: "No, your intuition is right, Obadiah is not a good person!"
Being touched on the head by the person she loves, a touch of intoxicating blush instantly covered Gwen's face. She lowered her head and picked up a piece of steak, put it in her mouth, and it was sweet.
… … … … … …
Driving a Lamborghini, he parked in front of 15 West 81st Street in New York.
Harry opened the car door to send Gwen out of the car. It seemed that this date made Gwen feel very good. She hopped and said goodbye to Harry.
Harry waved his hand and smiled politely at the villa window, then drove away.
When Gwen pushed the door in, she was immediately surrounded by her parents.
The majestic Chief George's face was as black as ink, and he was quite annoyed: "Gwen, who is that kid?"
He didn't expect that the cabbage in his own family was almost arched by a pig at some point.
Uh, although that pig looks quite handsome, it is definitely not allowed!
Mrs. Stacy pushed her husband away and chuckled lightly: "Don't worry about him, Gwen. The boy just now is Harry you often talk about, right? I think he's very good. You should find a chance to invite him to our house for dinner."
"Ah, Mom and Dad, I'll talk to you later!"
Gwen was too shy, and ran to her room in a panic, slammed the door shut, covered her cheeks, and rolled around on the bed.
After saying goodbye to Gwen and Gwen's parents who were peeking behind the window, Harry got back into the car, the engine roared, and drove his car towards Queens at full speed.
Soon he stopped at the place where the radiation material leaked in the news report.
The surrounding leaked radiation materials have been cleaned up, and there is no trace of it.
But Harry can still sense some radiation residue. Most of these radiation residues come from the sewer manhole cover full of rust, presumably the radiation material flowing into the sewer has not been cleaned up.
There is nothing special about this area, so the thing that brings him a sense of crisis is not these things.
Could it be the spiders and lizards that have mutated due to radiation? It doesn't seem like it.
Harry felt that it seemed like a magical curse, and this curse would cause harm to him or his family in the future.
Unable to find any clues, Harry can only put this matter aside for the time being and deal with it when the crisis occurs in the future.
Chaotic magic tells him that this crisis will not cause him much harm.
On the way home, Harry drove while dialing Tony's phone.
The phone was connected, and the crisp sound of a hammer hitting metal sounded on the other side: "Harry, what's the matter? I'm very busy here. Uru alloy is very useful. Give me some more time and I can successfully research the magic armor!"
