Black Widow: Does Stark also have a diary?
Chapter 58 Black Widow: Does Stark also have a diary?
S.H.I.E.L.D. acted very quickly.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the strong assistance from Tony Stark.
After all, the evidence he provided to Coulson was so detailed and sufficient that S.H.I.E.L.D. could immediately launch an operation to arrest Obadiah Stane.
And S.H.I.E.L.D. did the same thing.
It was only three days after Tony Stark's return.
Coulson, accompanied by a team of heavily armed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, forced their way into Obadiah Stane's office.
"Stan, you have been secretly selling weapons to major terrorist organizations in huge sums."
"You also hired the Ten Commandments to assassinate Tony Stark."
"You're under arrest!"
After delivering his arrogant verdict on Obadiah Stine, Coulson simply waved his hand.
The agents behind him didn't waste any words.
They rushed forward immediately and arrested Obadiah Stane.
Obadiah Stane was completely dumbfounded.
Even when someone grabbed him, he didn't realize what was happening.
???
What the hell?
They had done those things very discreetly and without leaving a trace!
He has been secretly selling weapons to terrorists for quite some time now, and nothing has ever happened during this long period.
How did it suddenly get exposed?
In particular, his hiring of the Ten Commandments to assassinate Tony Stark caught Obadiah Stane completely off guard.
You should know that all of Lazar's employees were wiped out, not a single one was left!
Obadiah Stein had already learned of all this through his own channels.
So this matter should never be known to anyone.
But how did it suddenly get exposed?
Obadiah Stane was genuinely stunned.
"Wait a minute, isn't there some misunderstanding?"
"Do you know how absurd your accusations are?"
"Which department are you from? Who authorized you?"
But Obadiah Stine quickly calmed down and immediately questioned Coulson, who was clearly the leader, in a deep voice.
"Don't waste your energy."
Coulson laughed, the kind of laugh a good-natured man would give.
"Do you think your friends in the military will protect you, and your congressional friends will protect you too? Not this time."
"Stark has provided evidence that makes it impossible for those people to abandon you."
"Stan, face it, you'll be spending the rest of your life in a 'single room'."
With Coulson's command.
Without further ado, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents forcibly dragged Obadiah Stane out.
"Wait a minute! Tony?"
Obadiah Stane was increasingly bewildered.
So it turns out his arrest wasn't because this so-called Homeland Strategic Defense Bureau discovered anything.
Instead, what did Tony discover?
Are you kidding me!
Tony just escaped from that cave!
Tony Stark's dear Uncle Obadiah was utterly bewildered.
Unfortunately, no one came to answer his questions.
The arrest of Obadiah Stane also caused a minor stir.
This made matters worse for the already precarious Stark Group.
After all, Obadiah Stane was a top general at Stark Industries, second only to Tony Stark in importance to the company.
Ironically, this very important figure was arrested by law enforcement at the crucial moment when Tony Stark dealt a heavy blow to the Stark Corporation!
Nobody knows why.
The Stark Group remained tight-lipped about the matter, revealing nothing of value beyond some perfunctory official statements.
But this did not stop the shareholders from continuing to frantically sell Stark Industries stock.
And so.
Stark Industries' stock continued its plunge after already falling 56 points, eventually dropping a total of 62 points!
It's fallen so low that Stark Industries is practically stripped bare.
The Stark Group is facing its darkest moment in history.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it teetering on the brink of collapse.
Of course.
How badly Stark Industries fared was none of Zhou Cheng's concern, nor did he care.
However, Obadiah Stane's sudden arrest still drew Zhou Cheng's close attention.
Why?
"This isn't right!"
"Even if Obadiah doesn't become the Iron Monger, he wouldn't be arrested at this time, would he?"
Zhou Cheng was truly caught off guard, and after pondering it repeatedly, he still couldn't quite figure it out.
How long has it been since Tony Stark was rescued by me?
It's impossible to discover Obadiah Stine's underhanded tactics so quickly, right?
According to the original plot.
Tony Stark only discovered everything by accident when he created the Iron Man armor, spent a long time "fighting for justice," and finally went to investigate Stan's trading list.
Isn't the deviation a bit too large now?
What exactly is wrong?
"Could it be... that this isn't Universe 199999?"
Without an omniscient perspective, Zhou Cheng couldn't possibly guess that the plot change was caused by Tony Stark seeing the diary.
The only plausible explanation he could think of was parallel universes.
With so many parallel universes in Marvel, it wouldn't be surprising if a universe that's highly similar to the cinematic universe appeared, right?
That should be it.
Zhou Cheng pondered for a while and, believing he had found the answer, stopped worrying about it.
There's just one thing.
It seems I need to pay more attention to major events in the universe from now on.
Let's see how much this universe deviates from the 199999 universe!
"Commander Coulson arrested Obadiah so quickly?"
"Was it evidence provided by Tony Stark?"
"this……"
Black Widow, one of the owners of the diary, was also somewhat bewildered by this.
After learning about the situation, Scarlett Johansson was somewhat caught off guard.
Without him.
This situation clearly does not match the records in the diary, and there is an illogical discrepancy.
There's no way Tony Stark could have traced it back to Stan so quickly.
Keep in mind that the Playboy had only just escaped!
Moreover, according to the diary entries, Tony Stark should not have had any evidence of Stan's crimes.
Otherwise, why didn't he just send him to prison like he would now, instead of having him almost killed by Stan twice?
Is it...
The entries in the diary were inherently inaccurate and not very precise.
In the past, Black Widow would indeed have had such suspicions.
But now?
The events recorded in the diary have been verified one after another!
Whether it's Tony Stark being kidnapped, the other side announcing the closure of the weapons manufacturing department, or the mastermind being Obadiah, etc.
They were all accurately "predicted".
Black Widow now has virtually no doubts about the diary.
But who would have thought that at this very moment, the diary would become somewhat inaccurate!
So~
What went wrong?
Black Widow fell into deep thought.
"Wait a moment!"
Black Widow's brows furrowed for a moment, then suddenly relaxed.
Could Tony Stark be a diary owner like himself?
If that's the case, then the other party's "abnormal" behavior makes perfect sense.
The other party did not know at first that Stan was the mastermind, so the original course of events was that he was almost killed by Stan three times.
But now?
The other party found out everything through the diary!
So they preemptively sent Stan in beforehand!
In this way, the logic becomes clear.
The only problem is...
All of this is just Black Widow's speculation, nothing more.
Besides yourself, are there really other owners of the diary?
