Chapter 30 Let's Make a Deal! The Design Drawings Are in Your Hands!?
Armament Haki: Beginner
[Grade: D]
[Effect: Covering the body with Haki enhances both attack and defense.]
[Note: Using Overpower will consume stamina and mental energy. The higher your four main attributes, the stronger your Overpower will be. At a certain level, it can be attached to your weapon. At the perfect level, it can ignore enemy defenses.]
"Great! Not only will it increase attack power, but it will also increase the body's defense!"
Horn was pleasantly surprised after reading the introduction.
This ability to both attack and defend is exactly what he needs right now; having it gives him an extra layer of protection.
Use it now!
He claimed the reward from the interface and immediately opened the skill book.
The entire skill book immediately transformed into a white ball of light and flew into his body.
A series of related memories flooded his mind, allowing him to quickly master how to use it.
Ten seconds later, he raised his arm and used his domineering aura to wrap around it as if it were his own arm, giving his entire arm an invisible layer of protection.
"It doesn't seem like there's anything particularly special about it?"
Horn looked down and examined it carefully for a moment, then clenched his fist and swung it at the Gatling gun set up beside him.
Click—
The entire gun barrel dented on the spot.
"So that's how it is."
Looking at the fist-shaped dent on the Gatling gun, Horn realized that the fist had been completely unharmed thanks to Armament Haki.
"Its defensive capabilities completely overwhelm the iron block."
Having gained a certain understanding of Armament Haki, Horn withdrew his gaze, returned to the tattered road, and waved his hand to retrieve a sports car from his [Space Ring].
However, this time he didn't head home. Instead, he instructed, "Tia, locate Obadiahstan and plan the shortest route."
"Okay, sir, I'll locate and replan your route."
Tia's voice came from the car's speakers, and less than a second later, a navigation route appeared on the center console screen.
Horn glanced at it, stepped on the gas, and the sports car shot forward.
Following the route, they disappeared into the night.
Villa Obadiahstein.
"Butler, book me a flight to Europe immediately, the sooner the better."
Obadiah Stane had just returned home when he went straight to his bedroom, where his safe was located. Inside were not only Stark Group share contracts, but also a large number of fixed asset certificates and bank cards.
Now that he's going to run away, he has to take his whole family with him, otherwise he wouldn't have gone home and would have gone straight to the airport.
"Okay, Mr. Stan, I'll take care of it right away."
The elderly housekeeper, who was over sixty years old, hurriedly instructed the servants to book plane tickets and complete the relevant procedures.
At the same time, he ordered someone to pack Obadiahstan's clothes.
Just as everything was ready and Obadiahstan was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared at the doorway, blocking his way.
-
"Who's there!?"
The bodyguards stationed nearby were startled and immediately drew their pistols.
"Is this your way of treating guests, Mr. Obadiahstein?"
Horn ignored the bodyguards, a smile on his face, and walked into the villa.
"Oh, it's Horn. What brings you here so late?"
Obadiah Stance feigned composure, forced a smile, and asked.
As he spoke, he instinctively shifted his body backward, quietly seeking cover so that his bodyguards could fire without accidentally injuring him.
"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Stan. I'm here to discuss a business deal with you."
Horn walked without stopping, brushing past Obadiah Stane amidst his extreme panic, and went straight to the living room, where he leisurely sat down on the sofa.
As he passed by the other person, he clearly felt the other person's body tremble imperceptibly, obviously quite frightened, which made him smile slightly.
"Business?"
Obadiah Stanislav secretly broke out in a cold sweat, then turned around with a puzzled look on his face.
"Mr. Stan, are you going on another business trip?"
At this moment, Horn gave an irrelevant answer, turning his head to look at the luggage that the servants were preparing to load onto the car, and asked in surprise.
He secretly sighed, thankful he had changed his mind, otherwise he really would have gotten away.
He wasn't in a hurry to carry out the plan until he was ambushed, which made him realize that the other side was in a hurry. Coupled with the scare he received at dinner, if he didn't start soon, they might have to run away.
Seeing these bags now completely confirms his guess.
"Am I that scary?"
He muttered to himself, completely surprised that the other person was so easily frightened.
If he had known this would happen, he would have toned it down at dinner.
"Yes, I just received a call. I need to go abroad to handle some matters."
Fearing that the other party would come looking for him, Obadiah Stanislav didn't even dare to say where he was going, only giving a vague explanation.
"I see. Then you probably won't have time to discuss this deal."
Horn stood up, a hint of regret on his face, and walked towards the door, muttering to himself as he went, "What a pity, such a brilliant design will only benefit someone else."
"etc!"
Obadiah Stane, who had initially breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Horn about to leave, hurriedly reached out and stopped him upon hearing this, "You mean the design drawings? What design drawings?!"
"The blueprints for Tony's suit, I picked them up when I rescued him. I was originally planning to sell them to you cheaply, since it's good to keep the profits in the family. But since you're going on a business trip, forget it."
Horn shrugged helplessly, without stopping.
"What?! You have the armor design blueprints?"
Obadiah Stanislav's eyes widened, and he rushed forward to stop him. "Don't go, don't go yet. We can postpone things abroad. Let's sit down and talk slowly. There's no rush."
In order to get the design drawings, he decided to go all out.
At the same time, he secretly felt lucky that the other party had taken a detour to find him and missed the ambush. Otherwise, if he had gone straight home, he would have been blown up by his bodyguard. In that case, he would never have been able to get the blueprints.
Even if the bodyguard makes a mistake, the other party will naturally know that he is the mastermind, and they still won't get it.
Although it's still uncertain whether the other party is aware of this, at least things haven't completely broken down yet, so there's still room for maneuver.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Horn, if he already knew he was the murderer, Tony wouldn't have let him come back so easily even if he didn't kill him. That's why he dared to stay and talk.
Previously, fear prevented him from judging the man's intentions. After all, if the bodyguard had made a mistake, Horn would have come looking for the real culprit as well.
"are you sure?"
Horn had a faint smile on his lips as he turned to look at him.
"Yes, absolutely certain."
Obadiah Stane nodded repeatedly, then said, "I remember you like tea? Butler! Go and brew Horn the best tea!"
Horn turned around, returned to the sofa, and sat down again, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, he sat in the head seat.
"In that case, let's sit a while longer."
