Chapter 1852 The Madman's Journey (Fifty-six)

About two hours later, Stark met Obadiah in the ward. Looking at the familiar old man, Stark said straight to the point: "Can you help me take out the things in the pocket of the coat hanging on the hanger?"

Obadiah was stunned for a moment. He was shocked by the complexity in Stark's tone. A sense of confusion and guilt rose in his heart, so he instinctively followed Stark's instructions to help him get the coat. When he put his hand into the pocket, the strange touch of that thing made his fingertips pause.

Obadiah took out the thing. It looked like a small piece of cloth, but the texture on it told him that it was human skin. The moment he saw the tattoo pattern, Obadiah's hands trembled violently.

He had seen the same pattern on the black woman's body before - Tony Stark knew it.

Obadiah took a deep breath, and after being stiff for half a minute, he slowly exhaled. He put the small piece of human skin back into Tony's pocket and turned to look at his nephew lying on the bed.

"Tell me what's going on, Obadiah." Tony looked into Obadiah's eyes and said, "I thought you were my only relative."

"I am, Tony." Obadiah's breathing was a little trembling. He loosened his hand holding the coat, put the coat on the head of Stark's bed, sat on the bed and looked at Stark and said, "I thought your condition would improve when you grow up, but you didn't. It's getting worse."

Stark frowned deeply. He didn't understand what Obadiah meant.

"Stark Group is almost unable to protect you, Tony." Obadiah looked at Stark with a serious face and said, "Or because of you, the military must sanction Stark Group. They want you."

Obadiah turned his head away and said, "Don't be naive to think that they will let your most intelligent brain in the world make some pistols and missiles in a private company. They want something more lethal."

Obadiah's Adam's apple moved and said, "About three years ago, the military began to gradually reduce Stark Industries' orders and turned to Osborn Group and Hammer Military Industries. You know, Hammer was completely supported by the military."

"They are constantly weakening the power of Stark Group in order to attack you, or at least force you to make something more valuable for them."

"And You are going to kill me. "

"Because I don't want the military to get what they want, not just for you." Obadiah's tone was surprisingly cold. He said: "If the era of super weapons comes, the military will no longer buy ordinary arms, and Stark's military industry will completely decline."

"So you would rather kill me?"

Obadiah shook his head and said: "Tony, I don't have such great ideals as you and your father. I just want to be a successful businessman, and any good businessman will not give any buyer a one-time deal."

"With you, they are willing to pay any price, and without you, they can only choose me." Obadiah's hand rubbed the armrest and said: "And I will make them pay the price for the previous sanctions."

Stark's hand holding the bed sheet clenched, and Obadiah was very angry. Dai Ya looked at Stark and said, "You showed your value too early, Tony. I don't remember how long ago I warned you. Do you think your father's poor condition before his death was a coincidence?"

"Why are they never satisfied?!" Stark gritted his teeth and said, "They have never thought about letting talented people do their jobs and let people live a better life, but just keep forcing them to either make weapons or become weapons."

"This is the country, Tony. Any cutting-edge technology in the world will be used in the military and medical first, and the cutting-edge medical technology will eventually serve the military. This is human beings, and you can't change anything."

Stark took a deep breath, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and tried to suppress his anger. Stark was angry and looked at Obadiah and said, "Your attack didn't cause fatal injuries to me. A mercenary saved me."

Obadiah immediately showed a suspicious expression, but his suspicion made Stark a little confused. Obadiah asked, "A mercenary saved you? Who is he? Which mercenary organization is he from? Have you met again?"

"Is this important?"

Obadiah was silent for a while before saying, "A while before and after you were attacked, I received a call. The other party only said one sentence, 'He knows'."

Stark's eyes widened. Of course, he could understand what this sentence meant. At that time, Obadiah wanted to kill him, and the caller was telling Obadiah that you failed and the plan was exposed, so you should prepare for the second action quickly.

Stark was stunned, then he sat up straight, stared into Obadiah's eyes and said, "Do you know Alexander Pierce?"

Obadiah was stunned by his question. He thought about this familiar yet unfamiliar name, then said, "Director Pierce, isn't he the director of SHIELD? And he's about to retire. What happened to him?"

"He rescued me."

Stark sighed helplessly. It wasn't that he wanted to tell Obadiah everything. The problem was that he really couldn't figure out the messy relationships in the upper class.

He knew that Alexander Pierce was the director of SHIELD, but he didn't know which faction he belonged to or who he belonged to. Only Obadiah could figure this out.

Sure enough, Obadiah seemed to be shocked by the news and remained silent for a long time. After a while, he said cautiously: "As far as I know, Director Pierce is not a nosy person."

Stark almost said his dangerous speculation, but it was too shocking, so he didn't say it in the end.

Because according to the timeline, Pepper received the address on the email but didn't go to save him, and there was no abnormality in the access records of the email website. Stark was very confident in his technical level, so it was impossible for someone to hack or intercept the email.

So how did Pierce know the address of the abandoned base?

If there is no problem on the receiving end, then the problem must be on the sending end. The person who sent this email is Schiller, who is a Hydra. Schiller also has a teacher and boss who is in a high position.

If someone can monitor the message sent by Schiller, it must be the teacher and boss who restored his identity and kept issuing orders to him.

Then Pierce appeared.

At the moment when Schiller was held down, this guess had already formed in Stark's mind, so he felt fear-that was the director of SHIELD!

SHIELD itself was established to deal with Hydra, and today, even the director has become a Hydra. Stark dare not think about how much shock this news will cause after it is released, and it may even change the situation in the world.

But Stark certainly can't ignore it. If Pierce is really a Hydra, then the harm he can cause is too great.

But Stark didn't have any evidence. Pierce only needed to say that they had planted spies among the locals and saw Stark. After all, there were so many people and no one was paying attention to everyone's movements when evacuating. Pierce's divine soldiers could not prove anything at all.

Then Schiller was the only one who could identify Pierce.

Stark's brain was spinning rapidly. He thought that Schiller would let him go at the last minute to prove that he was definitely not hopelessly evil.

Schiller would explain his willingness to save people to him, indicating that at least part of him also wanted to use the power of the Stark Group to return to civilized society, and that he also wanted to get rid of Hydra, so he was likely willing to be the tainted witness.

Stark knew that he had to rescue Schiller.

Schiller gave up executing his boss's plan at the last minute, allowing him to be successfully rescued. Moreover, without his superb medical skills, Stark might have died of excessive blood loss or infection in the cave. Schiller saved Stark twice. Out of emotion, Stark had to find a way to save him.

And if Pierce is likely to be Hydra and wants to use the matter of saving Stark to do something, Stark will never let him succeed, and will find a way to turn the tables on him, then Schiller, an insider of Hydra, becomes quite valuable, and he may have evidence of Pierce's crime. For the sake of interests, Stark has to find a way to save him.

More importantly, Stark knows that Pierce did not bring the police and the army, but let the SHIELD agents take Schiller away, which proves that he does not want Schiller to go to court for trial.

Considering Schiller's powerful power, it is self-evident what Pierce wants to do.

Even if Pierce is Hydra, he has been lurking for so many years without causing any trouble, and he is not in a hurry to deal with it, but if Schiller loses control, his powerful power may cause many deaths. At that time, he will never have a chance to get back on track.

Stark was getting more and more anxious when he thought of this. He had made up his mind, so he looked at Obadiah firmly and said, "Listen, uncle, I can regard your attack on me as an out-of-control act caused by too much pressure, or it may be that a cult organization seduced you. It doesn't matter."

"What's important is that we all know that this matter is not over. The military will not give up if I am still alive. The second person who kidnapped me was Hydra, and they also targeted me. In addition, there may be more people lurking around."

"I need you to assure me that the entire Stark Group is united, and we must stand together. Obadiah. "

Obadiah's eyes widened, as if he didn't know Stark, he stared at him for at least two minutes, then he shook his head and sighed: "Tony, you have grown up."

Obadiah stood up and said in an unbelievable tone: "If it was before, you would rush up and punch me like crazy, and then let me get out of Stark Group immediately."

"I want to punch you now too." Stark turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at Obadiah and said: "But we all know that this is useless. The enemy is much stronger than we thought. If we can't unite, it will be all over if there is a slight mistake. "

Obadiah frowned in confusion. He instinctively felt that Stark had not told him everything.

He knew his nephew. If he had not faced the huge pressure of life and death, he would not have shown his mature side.

Obadiah could not help but walk forward, put one hand on Stark's shoulder, looked into his eyes and said, "Tony, tell me the truth, what did you see in Afghanistan?"

Stark stared at him silently for a while and then said, "I saw a psychiatrist."
