Chapter 38

Hearing Zach's words, Obadiah felt very gratified.

This son of his, while not as smart as Tony Stark.

was not too stupid either.

He said calmly: "Don't worry, I already considered this point."

"I hadn't chosen to cooperate with him before precisely because of these concerns." "But this time, it was Kingpin who approached us."

"And he made it clear that he wouldn't keep the weapons for his own use."

"Instead, he would sell them through his own channels to earn the price difference."

"If I find that Kingpin violates the agreement, I can cancel the deal at any time."

Zach suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

Immediately, he sneered, "This Kingpin..."

"They say he's the underground emperor of New York, or even the United States."

"Rumor has it he's very powerful, so why would he personally come to do this kind of reselling business?" Obadiah frowned upon hearing this, "Don't you underestimate this Kingpin." "He does have some strength."

Obadiah naturally knew what kind of existence Kingpin was.

"Okay."

Zach nodded, not saying anything more.

However.

The shrewd Obadiah could tell.

This son of his didn't take Kingpin seriously.

Thinking that with him around, Zach wouldn't cause any trouble.

So, he said: "When I negotiate with Kingpin in a moment, you shouldn't speak." "Hmm, okay."

Zach looked a bit displeased, but didn't say anything.

Soon, the father and son arrived at the eighth floor.

Obadiah scanned the area and quickly found Kingpin.

He walked over with a laugh, "Hey, Kingpin!"

Obadiah and Kingpin were not familiar with each other.

But he was a businessman after all, and naturally knew how to be polite.

Because Kingpin needed money to pay off debts, he didn't give the other party a hard time.

For a moment, the two seemed like old friends, chatting happily.

Obadiah introduced his son.

Then, he and Kingpin found a corner to talk about the arms business.

Seeing this, Zach didn't follow.

After all, Obadiah still held a lot of authority in his heart.

Zach didn't dare to defy his father.

He couldn't speak if he followed, and as a rich kid, he looked down on people with unclean backgrounds like Kingpin.

So he simply wandered around the banquet hall.

Suddenly, Zach's eyes lit up.

Not far from him, there was a beautiful figure.

She was wearing a pale gold evening gown, with very delicate features.

Isabella.

Zach took two glasses of champagne and walked quickly toward Isabella.

After all, this Hollywood star was famous for her high beauty.

After starring in Twilight, which became a hit this year.

This beauty instantly became a star of global attention.

Zach naturally wanted to get close to her.

In his mind.

His father was a shareholder of Stark Industries, and he was a bona fide rich kid.

Not to mention, his father would soon control Stark Industries.

A mere star was simply easy to get.

So, he made his move very decisively.

Zach smiled with feigned gentlemanliness: "Hello, are you Miss Isabella?" Isabella glanced at Zach and subconsciously pulled away a little.

However, she still maintained politeness, "Hello."

Seeing the other party take a step back, Zach felt a bit annoyed.

In this situation, even a fool could see that she didn't really want to deal with him.

Fuck!

Just a small star, what is she pretending for?

New York City, Manhattan District

Four Seasons Hotel, eighth floor.

Zach held two glasses of champagne in his hand, frowning slightly.

He didn't expect.

that Isabella would choose to keep her distance when she saw him coming to chat.

Taking a deep breath, Zach calmed his mind.

In his mind.

Isabella was just a small star, and there was no reason for her to refuse him.

After all.

Zach's father was a veteran and major shareholder of Stark Industries.

Not to mention, Obadiah was also planning to replace Tony.

Even if this Isabella was a Hollywood star.

she didn't count for much.

The gap in their status was too large.

What's more, Zach hadn't even said anything yet.

He had only just started a conversation.

He hadn't even expressed his true thoughts yet.

Was it necessary to keep such a distance?

Zach thought about it.

It must be some misunderstanding.

He knew Isabella's identity.

But she didn't know anything about him.

Zach wasn't Tony Stark.

Who made headlines every day because of various scandals.

Making most of the American public know such a person.

Billionaire, genius, playboy...

He was even more famous than the official leaders and many Hollywood superstars.

Zach was just an ordinary rich kid.

It was normal for Isabella not to know him.

Looking at Isabella again.

She was worthy of being a high-beauty actress famous all over the world.

And.

When Zach watched "Twilight," he was attracted by Isabella's beauty.

He had looked up this actress's age online.

It was now 2008.

Born in 1990, Isabella was just eighteen years old now.

Eighteen.

Maybe she hadn't even had a boyfriend yet.

Although Zach didn't really mind such things.

If that were really the case, he felt he would have hit the jackpot.

Anyway.

Let's introduce myself first and chat for a while to see.

After calming down, Zach put on a friendly smile.

"Miss Isabella, my name is Zach."

"I'm a fan of yours, and I'm very happy to see you here."

Isabella nodded politely, "Thank you."

The attitude was okay, Zach smiled.

Then, he said as if making casual conversation.

"Miss Isabella, many people at our Stark Industries are your fans. If they knew I met you here today, they would definitely be very envious." Inadvertently.

Zach revealed the information that he was an employee of Stark Industries.

Thanks to Tony Stark.

Because he often made news headlines.

Many people knew that there was such a super billionaire in the United States.

At the same time, many Americans also knew.

that there was a powerful company called Stark Industries.

Ordinary people.

would be very interested if they heard he was from Stark Industries, right?

Sure enough.

Isabella, who had originally only maintained politeness.

heard the words Stark Industries.

A flash of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Sure enough.

She was just a small star.

Even if she was famous.

she ultimately couldn't compare to a real billionaire.

Zach smiled triumphantly and continued.

"Let me introduce myself formally."

"My name is Zach Stane."

"My father, Obadiah Stane, is the Executive Vice President of Stark Industries. He is a veteran of Stark Industries, and his contribution to this company is much higher than Tony Stark's." As he spoke, he handed a glass of champagne to Isabella.

In Zach's view.

he was probably a sure thing this time.

Originally, Isabella was interested in Stark Industries.

Clearly, she knew about this super company.

Now that she knew he was the son of a company veteran, she would definitely look at him with admiration.

Then, after some back and forth, wouldn't he get what he wanted?

Who knew.

Isabella didn't take the champagne Zach handed over.

She just glanced at him with slight surprise.

Then, she said apologetically: "Sorry, I don't like drinking champagne."
