Marvel Ninja God - Chapter 29
Looking at each and every one of Bloodline Limit’s abilities, Roger sighed helplessly.
Right now, he only had 25 ninja coins in total. He couldn’t even exchange for a higher level ninjutsu, let alone these Bloodline Limit, which could costs hundreds of Ninja Coins.
After casually training in his training room for some time, he used Flying Thunder God Technique to come to the office.
Because she didn’t understand the standard of Roger accepting commissions, Erica recorded all the entrustors who came to her for the past few days, sorted out a detailed document, and handed it to Roger.
Tony had not given the commission to him yet, so Roger had no way to accept other commissions.
However, to pass the time, he still carefully browsed through the documents arranged by Erica.
The commissions inside were similar to the typical private detective commissions, basically all for people or searching for things, and there was nothing to pay attention to.
Just when he thought that today was also a day where he had nothing to do, the office’s door was pushed open.
The person who opened the door was a bald man in his fifties or sixties. He had a clean and tidy beard on his face. He was fat and wore an expensive custom-made suit.
Although he maintained a smile on his face, he gave off an invisible pressure.
With just a glance at this man, Roger recognized his identity.
The man who came in was Obadiah Stane, who had single-handedly planned the kidnapping of Tony.
Obadiah was one of the Stark Industry’s higher-ups. After Howard Stark’s accidental death, he was initially the person with the most chance of becoming the chairman of the Stark Industry.
But unfortunately, the playboy Tony later became a prodigal son and returned to the Stark Industry’s Chairman position. He also displayed an unparalleled talent for invention.
Since Tony took over Stark Industry, Obadiah became a wilted leaf beside Tony.
After knowing that he could not achieve his ambition through normal means, he began to consider using other methods to eliminate Tony, which was why the kidnapping of Tony happened.
Although Obadiah had not said a word, Roger had already guessed his purpose of coming here.
If guesses correctly, the purpose of Obadiah’s trip was to ask Tony how he escaped from the Ten Rings.
Of course, Obadiah could not simply ask this question, but he would definitely mention this matter in a roundabout way.
This could be easily inferred from the fact that Obadiah came alone without bringing his secretary and driver.
Just as Roger had expected, Obadiah’s face showed an extremely grateful expression after entering the office. He quickly walked in front of him and said in an incomparably sincere tone, “You must be Mr. Roger. I really thank you so much. If not for you, Tony might have…”
Obadiah did not continue. If only looking at his current expression, most people would think he was here to thank Roger.
However, Roger was evident that Obadiah would not have the slightest bit of gratitude towards him. He might even intend to take out his gun and shoot him.
“I do that to complete the commission handed to me. You don’t need to be so polite.”
Roger’s tone was very calm, as if there was no emotion.
Even so, Obadiah still had an extremely grateful look and took the opportunity to sit on the chair in front of Roger.
If not for finding out how Tony escaped from the hands of the Ten Rings’ terrorists, Obadiah wouldn’t have been able to force a private detective like Roger, who had no status at all.
On the day Tony returned to New York, Obadiah specially sent people to Afghanistan to find out what had happened.
But unfortunately, when his people spent a lot of effort in Afghanistan to find the cave where Raza and the others were stationed,
All they saw were corpses and a messy battlefield.
Although they did not find the answer they wanted, in the end, they found a steel armor that had been blown up in the cave where Raza died.
When Obadiah saw the blown-up Mark I in his secret warehouse, he immediately realized that this was a weapon beyond its era created by Tony himself.
After the wreckage of Mark I was sent back to New York, Obadiah sent people to start the reverse engineering project, trying to restore and upgrade Mark I.
However, just as Obadiah’s engineer was in full swing carrying out the reverse engineering project of Mark I, his subordinate, who was arranged to monitor Tony’s whereabouts, reported a piece of news to him.
Tony went to see a private detective and even brought the private detective back to the seaside villa.
As an old fox who had been in the business world for decades, Obadiah immediately realized that this private detective was the key to Tony’s escape.
If not, the Mark I built by Tony would not appear in the cave where Raza died.
A few days ago, Obadiah had planned to visit Roger.
However, before he came, he asked his people to investigate Roger’s past.
As a result, the investigation took several days.
After the investigation, Obadiah was more confident that Roger was the one who saved Tony, which was why he came to Roger’s office alone today.
Although he was the only one who entered the office, his more than ten bodyguards were near the office at this time. If anything happened to him, his bodyguards would come to the office immediately to save him.
“No matter what, you are the one who saved Tony, so as his senior, I must express my gratitude!”
With that, Obadiah took out a checkbook from his suit pocket, quickly wrote it down, and then put the check in front of Roger.
Ten million dollars!
As expected of a rich man, the way he expressed his gratitude was simple.
Although Roger did not like Obadiah much, he still accepted the check. Then, he casually threw the check that could be used to withdraw ten million dollars at any time into the desk drawer.
“I accept your thanks!”
When Roger accepted the check, Obadiah chatted with Roger for more than ten minutes, and then he talked about Afghanistan in a roundabout way.
Roger took the initiative to skip some of the information and then told Obadiah a half-true and half-false story.
Combined with the damage on Mark I and the information brought back by his men, Obadiah restored the scene at that time with his imagination.
“It’s unfair for a great man like you to stay in a place like this, Mr. Roger! If you don’t mind, Stark Group now has a vacancy for a security supervisor. We pay no less than ten million USD a year. I wonder if Mr. Roger is interested?”
