RNP Chapter 43 Winter Warrior!
Chapter 43 Winter Warrior!
But as I said before, anything that can be solved with money is no big deal for Tony.
Therefore, he didn't care about the billion he had just transferred, but hurriedly asked, "You're also a hired assassin, do you know if there's a guy in your underground assassin world with a mechanical left hand?"
Toby certainly knew.
Furthermore, he also knew that the guy Obadiah was talking about wasn't Howard's enemy at all, but a Hydra assassin...
The Winter Soldier, or rather, James Buchanan Barnes!
A World War II veteran affectionately nicknamed Bucky by Captain America!
But Toby couldn't say that to Tony directly, so he decisively shook his head:
"No, in our line of work, losing a hand usually means immediate retirement. Nobody wants to be burdened by a heavy robotic arm..."
Upon hearing this, the light in Tony's eyes slowly faded...
"but......"
Toby's "but" sent Tony's heart leaping into his throat!
"I have indeed heard of a legend about a mysterious assassin with a mechanical arm..."
Tony took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly: "What...what's his name?"
Toby shook his head: "He doesn't have a real name, only a code name, Winter Soldier."
"The Winter Soldier? Do you know where he is?"
Tony pondered the name, his eyes filled with a deep-seated hatred.
Toby shrugged. "I don't know. Like I said, he's just a legend. Nobody can even be sure if he actually exists..."
"Because he didn't just become active in recent years, but he has been active around the world since the end of World War II. He has been active all over the world, but no one has ever actually captured an image of him. It is said that everyone who has seen his face is dead. He is like a deadly ghost that comes and goes without a trace..."
This wasn't Toby lying to Tony.
He knew that the Winter Soldier was Bucky because of his advantage in the prophetic storyline.
But he really didn't know where Bucky was right now.
After all, Bucky spends most of his time frozen in Hydra's secret base.
"Alright!" Tony interrupted Toby, his voice low and menacing. "I don't care if he's a man or a ghost. I just want to know, if I hire you, can you find that guy and take him down?"
Upon hearing this, Toby thought for a moment, then nodded and shook his head.
Tony frowned: "You nod if you want, but what's the point of shaking your head?"
Toby shrugged and said, "Nod for yes, shake for no. When I nod, it means I can kill him; when I shake my head, it means I can't find him."
Tony didn't believe him and slammed his fist on the table: "I'll give you another five hundred million!"
Toby, somewhat embarrassed, replied, "It's not about the money..."
Tony understood; there simply wasn't enough money, so he slammed his fist on the table again and raised the stakes: "Fifty billion!"
Toby leaned back upon hearing the tactical instructions!
Tony persisted: "I'll give you another 5% if you help me kill that guy. Adding that to the 5% I promised you last time, I'll give you a total of 10% of Stark Industries!"
"And I can also tell you something in advance: this 10% stake will appreciate many times over after I enter the energy market in the near future!"
"In short, will you accept this commission or not?"
Toby had no doubt that Tony would appreciate in value in the future.
After all, Tony's Arc Reactor is a game-changer for the energy market!
But what he really wanted to say was that when Tony mentioned 5 billion, he was already ready to agree, but Tony immediately increased the stake to 50%!
What else could he say...?
Toby gripped Tony's hand tightly: "Deal!"
"Boss, do you want it alive or dead? If it's dead, how many pieces and how well-done do you want it? Or you can customize how it dies!"
Tony silently withdrew his hand, pondered for a moment, and decided to live.
"Like Obadiah, I have to live. I'm going to kill that guy myself to avenge my mother!"
"Don't forget about your dad..." Toby quietly added.
Tony: ......
"When can you bring them over?"
Toby shook his head: "It's really hard to say. It could be within a year, or it could take several years..."
"After all, ghosts aren't easy to catch. Of course, it also depends on whether you're willing to wait. If you're not willing to wait, then I can't help you with this mission..."
The Winter Soldier might not be considered strong by Toby, but he's really hard to find.
Because, except during missions, Winter Soldiers are frozen in freezers at Hydra bases by Hydra.
He couldn't possibly storm Hydra's base and bring people out just for Tony's 5% stake, thus offending the entire Hydra organization in the process...
That would be a completely bad deal...
So even if he wanted to capture the Winter Soldier, he would have to wait for the Winter Soldier to come out on his own.
After hearing Toby's words, Tony nodded helplessly:
"Fine, a little longer is fine. Besides you, there's probably no one else in this world who can find that ghost, and I don't trust anyone else..."
"The reward remains the same. As for the time, you can decide for yourself. At least give me some hope..."
"I'm tired now. Could you help me deal with Stan? As for the shares, I'll contact you to sign the share transfer agreement after I've finished dealing with company matters..."
Hearing Tony's obvious order to leave, Toby, who also wanted to go home and catch up on his sleep, didn't linger. He picked up the barely alive Obadiah and left Tony's villa.
They also drove off with one of Tony's cars.
It was the sports car he brought Obadiah to.
Tony said the car was stained with blood, so he didn't want it anymore and gave it to Toby instead.
This made Toby exclaim, "Wow, that's incredibly extravagant! He just gave up a limited-edition sports car worth tens of millions of dollars like that... tsk tsk..."
As for what to do about Obadiah?
That's simple...
Toby drove to a secluded cliff, bound Obadiah's limbs with spider silk, and sealed his mouth and nose. Then, grabbing his head, he threw him into the vast ocean hundreds of meters away like a shot put.
At the moment he released Obadiah, Toby clearly heard a crisp "crack" sound as his neck snapped.
In addition, he was bound by spider silk as strong as steel wire, and his mouth and nose were sealed before Toby threw him into the deep sea hundreds of meters away.
If Obadiah can still survive under these conditions, then Toby can only say that he is a true legendary survivor!
