The bodies of Raza and others fell to the ground.
Tony and Ethan were completely stunned.
From the moment he appeared until now, Russell's actions have become more and more unexpected.
At first, he ignored the threats and even persuaded people from the Ten Rings Gang to kill Tony.
Then he further stimulated the people of the Ten Rings Gang, for fear that they would not shoot.
In the end, unexpectedly, he directly killed the people of the Ten Rings Gang.
Is this guy crazy?
Isn't he afraid that people from the Ten Rings Gang will actually shoot me?
Tony looked at Russell fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a good person either."
"If you continue to look at me like that, maybe I will finish what is supposed to be done by them."
Russell pointed to the bodies of Raza and others.
Then, he released his venom form in front of Tony and Ethan, took the pistol controlled by the black tentacles in his hand, and revealed his true appearance.
Although Tony was even more dissatisfied after hearing Russell's threat, he still restrained his angry eyes as his desire for survival was already rising.
"Sit down."
Russell said, pointing his gun at Tony and Ethan.
"Who are you exactly?"
Tony asked immediately after sitting down.
"My name is Russell Bradley, and I'm a private eye and hitman living in New York."
Russell said with a smile.
Tony did not expect that Russell would actually answer this question, and also tell him his real name and occupation.
"Private detective and hit man?"
"So are you a detective or a killer now?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Tony continued to ask.
"Am I a detective or a killer? It all depends on whether you can get out of here alive."
"If you can get out alive, then I will be a private detective."
"If you die, I will be the killer."
Although Tony was a genius, he still couldn't keep up with Russell's thinking at this time.
Judging from his appearance, Russell is a young man in his early twenties, handsome, and seemingly harmless.
But it was this young man who single-handedly broke into the stronghold of the Ten Rings Gang. Under their noses, he killed the terrorists who took them hostage without changing their expressions.
"You want money? How much do you want? Just give me a price. No matter how much you want, I can satisfy you."
Tony said quickly.
"I do need money. After all, traveling all the way to Afghanistan cost me a lot of money and time."
"However, let others decide how much it will take to let you go."
With Tony's net worth, he can indeed give an exciting reward.
But Russell was a man of principles.
"What's the meaning?"
Tony no longer wanted to guess what Russell was thinking and asked directly.
"You'll find out in a minute. By the way, I'll tell you some inside information. This kidnapping was arranged by Obadiah."
"As for why, it should be easy for you to guess the reason."
Russell answered Tony while taking out the satellite phone.
As Tony and Ethan watched, he dialed a number.
Beep...beep...beep...
After dozens of seconds, the call was connected.
Before the person on the other end of the phone could speak, Russell took the lead and said: "Mr. Staney, good afternoon!"
"No, Afghanistan is 12 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Los Angeles, so it should be late at night now. If you don't mind, Mr. Stany, you can go to the toilet later."
Stany on the other end of the phone thought it was a harassing call coming from nowhere.
However, when he heard the word Afghanistan, he gave up the idea of hanging up.
"Who are you?"
I don't know if it was because he was woken up in the middle of the night or because he felt something, but Obadiah's tone sounded a little gloomy.
Russell pressed speaker, letting Tony know that the person on the other end of the line was Obadiah, whom he considered a mentor and friend.
Just when Tony was about to say something, Russell pointed the pistol at him and signaled him to stop talking.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that Tony Stark is in my hands now."
"Mr. Stanny, since you planned the kidnapping, I believe you don't mind spending money to kill Stark." Russell said slowly.
"I don't know what you are talking about. If you are the one who kidnapped Tony and you want a ransom, I can give it to you, but you must ensure Tony's safety." Obadiah said righteously.
"If you don't know what I'm talking about, you should contact the military."
"Stark Industries has a good relationship with the military. You should be able to easily contact the commander of the US military base in Afghanistan."
"By the way, Stark's good friend Colonel Rhodes is also in Afghanistan now. You can also contact him." Russell said with a relaxed look.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" Obadiah's tone became even colder.
"I told you, it doesn't matter who I am, what matters is how much you are willing to spend to kill Tony Stark."
"You can pay the Shijie Gang a large amount of money to buy a murderer, but you can't come to my place and you won't be willing to pay a penny, right?"
"If you really don't want to spend a penny, that's okay. I believe Tony Stark won't mind spending a large sum of money to buy back his life."
"I'll give you ten seconds to think about it, and I hope you can come up with a price that is acceptable to both of you."
"10, 9, 8, 7..."
Russell started counting down directly.
Just when he was about to count down to the last second, Obadiah finally gave an answer.
"Three hundred million dollars!"
"I can give you three hundred million U.S. dollars, how do you want to receive it, transfer, cashier's check, bearer bond, or equivalent?"
Tony originally had one last fantasy about Obadiah.
But now, this last bit of illusion has been shattered.
After glancing at Tony, Russell said slowly: "Transfer the money."
With that, he gave Obadiah an overseas bank account that he had never used and was not even in his own name.
As a killer, you need to know where to get people to eat, and you also need to know how to deal with your rewards.
The U.S. tax department is no joke!
This is a magical department that dares to collect taxes from drug dealers and has its own armed organization, prison cells, and courts.
In this world, only death and taxes are eternal!
This sentence was born because of the American tax department.
"I need some time to process!" Obadiah said slowly.
"Can!"
After speaking, Russell hung up the phone directly and threw the phone to Tony.
This guy has a quirk of not taking things from other hands.
So he chose to toss the phone to Tony rather than hand it over.
"Obadiah is willing to pay $300 million to buy your life, so you shouldn't mind paying $600 million to buy your own life."
$600 million is a bit much, but that's for other people.
For Tony, his life is far from being measured by $600 million.
"You want me to transfer money to your account too?"
Tony asked.
"No, the phone is for you to call for help."
"You know my real name and profession. I'm waiting for you and your $600 million in New York."
Russell stood up and said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't give it?"
Looking at Russell who stood up, Tony suddenly asked.
"$600 million is not a big number for you."
"Besides, if you don't give it, I will ask you for it myself, and you won't want to see me in that situation."
After saying that, Russell turned around and left.
Just when he was about to leave the cave, Tony stood up and asked him loudly: "Where is Obadiah? You took his money, and you didn't do anything?"
After hearing Tony's words, Russell shook his head helplessly and said without looking back: "He won't transfer money!"
"What he needs time to process is not to transfer money, but to find someone to kill you and me."
"If you don't want to die here, you'd better contact your good friend Colonel Rhodes as soon as possible."
