Chapter 018: The Invitation

After leaving Tony Stark's villa, Obadiah pondered how to eliminate Tony without making a sound and take control of Stark Industries.

The previous scheme was clearly no longer usable.

This time, he had to come up with a foolproof plan.

So Obadiah quickly thought of this person; with his help, getting rid of Tony Stark should not be difficult, even easy.

But asking him to act would likely cost a fortune. Yet Obadiah knew clearly that if he didn't strike first, and if Tony Stark got the chance, his future would be miserable, and he might even lose everything he had.

At the thought of this, Obadiah's hairs stood on end.

No, I will never allow such a future to happen.

Obadiah roared inwardly in madness, and he made up his mind.

Tony must die!

……

On the other hand, after returning from Kamar-Taj, Wang Bo had originally planned to become a salted fish, idling away his days until he found the time traveler.

Although this might be a very long period.

But Wang Bo never expected that his easy and ordinary days would not come; his new secretary, Miss Black Widow, had already filled his schedule to the brim.

When Miss Black Widow placed the itinerary in front of Wang Bo, he almost thought he had misread it.

Even the schedules of those celebrities weren't as packed as his.

At this, Wang Bo was very angry.

"Natalia, can you tell me why I have to have dinner with this Secretary of Defense? Is he a pretty girl?"

Black Widow said without blinking, "I think he might want to discuss the order with you."

"Then tell him to discuss the order with Julia. I'm not available." Wang Bo said decisively; he had no interest in the Secretary of Defense.

By the way, Julia was Wang Bo's former blonde secretary.

Now, she had been promoted to Wang Bo's right hand, responsible for all physical aspects of the spaceship.

"Okay boss, you're the boss, you call the shots." Black Widow readily agreed.

Wang Bo continued, "Natalia, can you tell me why General Ross from the military wants to have tea with me?"

Black Widow said, "General Ross wants to discuss the matter of armed space ships with you. He hopes you can produce a batch of armed ships for combat, preferably equipped with several large-caliber cannons for him to..."

"Tell him to get lost!"

Wang Bo rudely interrupted Black Widow, saying angrily, "Now our Hans Group is an energy group, a group at the forefront of technology, a space immigration group. We don't have time to produce weapons."

"Okay boss, no problem boss." Black Widow continued to comply.

Wang Bo then said, "And this King T'Chaka of Wakanda, what's his idea? Why does he invite me to play ball? Do I know him well?"

Black Widow said, "King T'Chaka hopes his son, Princess Shuri, can intern at Hammer Industries, so he wants to meet you to discuss this matter."

Wang Bo refused without thinking, "Tell him no way. If he wants to steal skills, dream on. If he has the ability, let him buy the spaceship back and crack it himself."

Black Widow said, "With Wakanda's strength, they might not even be able to crack the spaceship."

Upon hearing this, Wang Bo couldn't help but chuckle.

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Black Widow asked, puzzled.

Wang Bo said seriously, "Do you know which country in the world has the most advanced technology?"

"America." Black Widow said.

"Nonsense, it's Wakanda."

"Boss, are you joking?" Black Widow didn't believe it.

"On the surface, Wakanda is just a poor and backward agricultural country, but in reality, it's the most technologically advanced country on Earth, with the unique rare resource vibranium. Its capital and largest city is Birnin Zana, and its rulers have been called the Black Panther for generations. This is just the basics, and you don't know?"

Wang Bo said with pleasure, a double entendre, "Natalia, your intelligence is lacking."

Black Widow's expression shifted, "I'm just a secretary."

Wang Bo said, "Even as a secretary, you should know who the buyers of our group's products are."

"Boss, the buyers of our company's products are countless. I can't memorize every buyer's information. You're really putting me on the spot." Black Widow said innocently.

Wang Bo didn't dwell on the matter. He waved his hand and tossed the itinerary onto the table, "Alright, cancel all the appointments on the itinerary. I don't have time to have dinner and play ball with those guys."

"I want to live my own life." Wang Bo stretched comfortably. Under the sunlight, his whole body was warm and cozy, extremely pleasant.

Black Widow said calmly, "Boss, some appointments can be canceled, but some cannot."

"What do you mean?"

"The United Nations has invited you to attend a hearing in three days, hoping to discuss the ownership of the Moon and Mars."

"I remember I've already bought those two planets." Wang Bo said.

Black Widow said, "Yes, but they want to redefine the ownership of the two planets."

"I see." Wang Bo said, "The UN sees that I can develop the resources of the two planets, so they're jealous and want me to give them back."

"Very likely."

"Tsk tsk, that's such an ugly move."

"Boss, after all, they are two planets." Black Widow reminded.

"But I don't want to go." Wang Bo said, "I have no interest in playing political games with those politicians and capitalists."

"Then they might deny your ownership of the two planets." Black Widow said without changing expression.

Wang Bo scratched his hair and suddenly thought of a way, "Then I'll take people and run away, directly go to Mars to establish a country, and stop playing with Earthlings. What do you think, Natalia?"

Black Widow's heart skipped a beat, "Boss, that's not realistic. Mars doesn't have as many resources as Earth, and the living environment is too harsh for human habitation."

"You're right, but we have hands and feet. We can transform Mars into a place suitable for human habitation, right?"

"But that involves a lot of technology."

"That's true."

Wang Bo nodded. Cybertronian technology was strong, but not powerful enough to transform a planet.

Ring... Just then, Wang Bo's phone suddenly rang.

He made a pause gesture, answered the phone, and asked, "Who is it?"

"What, Obadiah, you want to invite me to dinner?"

"Okay, no problem!"
