章節 89: Iron Man-1

"Activate the Chessmen! I repeat, activate the Chessmen. In the next 24 hours, I want Tony Stark in front of me. Dead or alive!"

Saying this, Obadiah crushed the phone under his feet. No one has ever humiliated him or insulted him more than Tony Stark today and for that, he will use Tony's skull as a paperweight in future.

Stane parked his car near a deserted warehouse and entered inside. The inside of the warehouse was more advanced in some sense than Stark's research wing. Activating security protocols and passing the necessary security measures, he came towards the monitor room. The whole facility was filled with many researchers and assassins training or working on different projects.

Entering his own office, he called for his secretary and took off his clothes. A woman who looked like she was sculpted by the goddess of beauty and sex entered his office. This woman is known as the queen in Chessmen, and she was the ace in Obadiah's hands.

"You called for me master?!" The woman spoke with the sweetest and sexiest voice anyone could have heard in their life.

"Yes. Come!" Obadiah didn't say anything but motioned for the girl to come closer to him. He grabbed the woman by her hair when she was close enough and pushed her onto the table. Soon, the office was filled with the noises of grunts and moans of a woman and a man.

It took nearly an hour before Obadiah felt completely relaxed and let go of the woman.

"Was I good master?" the woman asked.

"Hmm…. Tell me, is the operation checkmate ready?" Obadiah asked the woman before getting himself a drink.

"Yes, Master. All Chessmen are already activated, and they are heading towards their targets." The woman replied before kneeling between the legs of Obadiah and providing pleasure to her master.

Obadiah enjoyed the service of the woman and pushed her head deeper and deeper before she could hardly breathe. If Tony was here, he would have recognised this woman. The woman who once ruled his heart - Indries Moomji.

Tony once was deeply in love with her, and they even stayed together for many months before she left Tony to go back to her hometown in Greece abandoning him and nearly driving him alcoholic.

It was only thanks to the combined efforts of Stane and Pepper that he managed to get over her and bury those feelings. However, this was all done by Stane to get security codes, passwords, his DNA, and thumbprints apart from other things to steal his company.

Obadiah is not just a businessman. He is an orphan who crawled his way to the top of the business world and unlike Starks, his hands have never been clean. After Howard's sudden withdrawal from the company, he thought he would be given the position of chairman, but Howard passed the company to his son insulting him.

Then this waste, Tony Stark never took the company seriously and pushed all the work on him, while he enjoyed his life with new weapons and machines every day.

Obadiah had already decided early on that he will remove Tony from this company and create his own empire. But now, Tony Stark insulted him and humiliated him. So, he must pay the price.

"You are also activated now. Go on. I want to see Tony's face when he faces you. Clean yourself and be presentable. I want to see a good show of tears and blood! Ha Ha Ha… (necessary cringe-worthy evil laugh)"

After a while, Stane pushed the woman away and went for a shower while the woman without saying anything picked her clothes up and left the compound.

Tony was still looking for possible legal solutions to nullify the takeover of his company when suddenly JARVIS activated defence protocol in his malibu villa.

"Sir, I have captured more than 20 armed men closing on the villa from different directions. It is advised for you to immediately call Colonel James Rhodes and Police Chief to assure your safety."

Jarvis suddenly popped up various windows on the screens showing live pictures of Armed men who had strange chess piece symbols on their chests and were closing on his villa from multiple sides.

"Fuck! Obadiah!" Tony cursed angrily before calling his friend Rhodes.

"Rhodey! I need help! I am looking at possibly 14, no cross that, 16 men with guns near my house. Bring some help, ASAP!" Tony blurted everything he had to say to Rhodey before running downstairs to his basement. That was the safest place for him to hide and wait this out.

JARVIS used automatic weapons that were installed on the facility to attack these invaders but suddenly one of these attackers pressed a few buttons on his tablet and JARVIS was locked out of the security control system.

Tony, who was watching the live scene from the basement laboratory was shocked and confused at the sudden progress of the situation.

"What happened JARVIS?" Tony questioned angrily.

"What happened – Someone used a master key to lock JARVIS out of the security protocols and took over the system." It was the voice of Lady who answered Tony in a rude tone.

[How dare this Human keeps shouting at her boyfriend!]

"How?" Tony simply couldn't think how his AI was locked out of his manor.

"Because they have master controls, something you designed as a backup, once JARVIS is hacked and you, yourself locked JARVIS out!" The lady shouted.

Tony remembered the security protocol he updated a few years back when he invented JARVIS. He kept a backdoor to make sure in case someone ever hacked JARVIS or JARVIS malfunctioned, he could use manual controls run to away from the mansion. But how did Obadiah find this loophole?

"Shit! Hack it! JARVIS, I authorise you to bypass this master key protocol or hack it if necessary but get the controls back." Tony kept shouting before he, manually started modifying the security protocols.

One helicopter flew near the manor when Tony and JARVIS were focused on the soldiers on the ground and launched a portable missile straight into the Malibu's manor. The missile breaking the roof of the manor fell inside the manor and its nose was almost outside the basement lab.

Tony saw the missile on the screen with the logo STARK and ran towards the emergency exit at the back of the room. However, before he could take a few steps towards it, JARVIS, the lady (also MARTHA in shadow) hacked the security protocol and activated blast doors to lock out the basement lab from impact.

"BOOOOOM!"

A blast happened that destroyed almost the entire east wing of the manor. The pillars supporting the manor on the cliffside broke off with a major part of the manor falling directly into the sea. This also destroyed the defence system of the manor and hardly left anything for Tony to protect himself.

However, the attack had just begun.
