Chapter 166 Could it be Hydra?
"Ant-Man?"

Stark looked at the man in front of him with some surprise.

Lynn was also a little surprised to hear Stark say this.

"You actually know Ant-Man."

Stark nodded.

"Recently, I've been trying to understand my father's past."

"While reviewing some materials, I discovered that Dr. Pym, the Ant-Man in front of you, had a minor conflict with my father."

"After that, Dr. Pym never came to see my father again until he passed away."

"Technically speaking, Dr. Pym is even one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Lynn was a little surprised. She didn't expect Stark to know so much about it.

"Wait a minute. I remember that these materials are all top secret and cannot be accessed by ordinary people. You..."

One look at Stark's expression and Lynn immediately knew what Stark had done.

"You've gone and hacked into the SHIELD database again. Never mind...it's a regular occurrence anyway."

By the way, in order to ensure the security of the database, Black Salted Egg asked Stark to help him upgrade the security system.

Just asking Stark to help you upgrade your security system is no different from asking a monkey to watch over Taoyuan.
Even though Black Egg did not completely trust Stark, he still found other people to help him upgrade the security system.

But how could those people's technology compare to Stark's?

So the database of Black Braised Egg is like Stark's own backyard, he can come and go as he pleases.

If he didn't want to, no one could find out that he had stolen the information.

Stark smiled, showing no sign of shame.

"So, Dr. Pym, what on earth do you want to do by suddenly coming to my place wearing these clothes?"

"Uh... I think you might have misunderstood something."

A young male voice came from under the mask.

"I'm not Dr. Pym. I'm just a, uh, regular guy."

The mask was opened, and a young man with an unfamiliar face appeared in front of the two people.

Stark may not know Ant-Man, but Lynn recognized him at first sight, so this is most likely the real Ant-Man.

In other words, he is the successor chosen by Dr. Pym, so there is nothing wrong with him being the second generation Ant-Man.

"Then where did you get this combat suit you're wearing? If I remember correctly, Dr. Pym treasures this suit and the related technology and would never give it to anyone else..."

Seeing that Stark's expression was becoming increasingly unfriendly, Scott immediately began to explain.

"No, no, no, I didn't steal it from Dr. Pym."

"This suit was given to me by Dr. Pym, who taught me how to use it."

"Actually, I received a commission from Dr. Pym, so I came here to, uh, retrieve something."

"Retrieving things. If I remember correctly, these were once my father's things. When you say 'retrieving', you mean stealing, right?"

Stark laughed somewhat sarcastically.

"Strictly speaking, it can't be considered stealing."

Scott tried to explain himself.

"Dr. Pym said that here is a prototype of a machine he invented, but he didn't have time to take it away when he and your father fell out."

"So I came here to take back what originally belonged to Dr. Pym, not to steal your things."

Stark just didn't bother talking to Scott about this.

Anyway, in Stark's eyes, Scott is now a thief who invaded his base.

"Whatever you wish to take, let Dr. Pym speak to me himself."

Stark waved his hand disinterestedly.

Seeing this, Scott immediately put on his helmet, shrunk his body, and tried to escape from Stark.

If it were the previous Stark, without the nano armor, he might have really let Scott escape.

But now Stark's armor has received a new wave of upgrades, and what his armor can do is far beyond what many people imagined.

Stark just waved his hand, and countless ropes made of nanoparticles were tied around Scott.

Even if Scott shrunk to the extreme, the nano rope still tied him up tightly.

Seeing this, Scott had no choice but to grow bigger, hoping to break free from the ropes of the refugees by growing bigger.

However, these nanorope expanded simultaneously with Scott's body size.

As they expand, these nanoparticles are constantly replenished to ensure that even if Scott's body grows, there is still enough binding force on him.

So Scott was tied up like a dumpling without any surprise.

"what?"

Scott struggled hard for a long time, and finally found himself tied up like a caterpillar, lying on the ground unable to move.

The most crucial thing is that those nanoparticles are still invading his prisoners of war.

Under the effect of the nanoparticles, Scott's mask was quickly opened, and then those nanoparticles quickly poured into Scott's combat suit.

In just a few seconds, Scott's clothes automatically fell off his body from the inside out.

What appeared in front of the two people was a middle-aged man lying on the ground, naked, wearing only a pair of underwear.

"I didn't expect you to look so cowardly. You have a well-trained body."

Stark teased.

With a wave of his hand, Stark put the Ant-Man armor aside.

On the other side, Dr. Pym looked at the scene in front of him and was speechless.

"What is this thing called?"

As early as when Scott arrived at the base, Dr. Pym advised him not to go in again.

Because they initially thought it was just a suburban warehouse where old things that S.H.I.E.L.D. no longer used were stored.

But when Scott arrived at the warehouse, Dr. Pym was surprised to find that this place had been transformed into another base by Stark at some point.

The security level of an abandoned warehouse is definitely different from that of a scientific research base.

So Dr. Pym subconsciously wanted Scott to go back and discuss the matter in the long run.

However, Scott thought that since he was already there, he had to take a look, so he finally sneaked into the base.

At first, his infiltration went very smoothly.

After all, Stark was just doing some research here and didn't make much defense at all.

If someone really invaded, there was no way Stark would not notice it.

However, Stark did not expect that there would be such a unique existence as Ant-Man.

This resulted in Scott being discovered by Lynn only when he sneaked into Lynn and Stark's research and development laboratory.

"It seems I need to strengthen the base's defenses in the future."

Stark frowned slightly.

"Small enemies like this are really difficult to deal with."

"Perhaps someone will develop smaller drones similar in size to these, and we'll have to be on guard against them as well."

"Speaking of which, we should also arrange for various defenses against poisonous gases, viruses, and so on."

Stark muttered to himself, and as he spoke, he was about to raise the security level of all bases to a level that would make all invaders despair.

"enough!"

"Let Stark tell me."

Even now, Scott has maintained correspondence with Dr. Pym.

Of course Stark would have noticed it, the reason he didn't say it out loud was simply to give Pym a chance.

"So...would you like to answer the phone?"

Scott forced a smile and pursed his lips to indicate the headphones on his ears.

"Dr. Pym is willing to communicate with me?"

Stark had a mocking smile on his face.

"Forget it. I'd rather not use your communication equipment. I'm afraid of any infectious diseases."

Stark tapped his armor a few times.

"Jarvis, help me connect to Dr. Screen's communication."

The next second, a translucent light curtain appeared in front of everyone.

The faces of Dr. Pym and his daughter appeared on the screen at the same time.

When Dr. Pym discovered that the big screen in front of him turned into Stark's annoying face, his face suddenly turned dark.

He knew very well that his system had been hijacked by Stark.

"Is this how you greet your elders?"

"Come up and hack into someone else's system first?"

Stark didn't care and lowered his head to scribble something on the panel.

"Elder? You don't seem to be qualified to be my elder."

Stark's mouth curled up slightly.

"Let me see, what have you been working on lately?"

"Ah...it seems like you haven't been having a great time lately." "After all these years, you're still clinging to your old skills. Haven't you made any progress?"

"Damn it, I'm warning you, Stark! Don't think that just because you're old Stark's son, you can do whatever you want!"

"I order you to stop invading me right now!"

"Old man, I say, which of us is doing whatever we want?"

Stark sneered at Pym.

"You sent people to invade my base without a word and tried to steal my things."

"Now that you see you're no longer in the right, you're using morality to pressure others?"

"Did you treat my father like this back then?"

"No wonder my father and you broke up."

When Pim mentioned what happened that year, he became furious.

"It was your father who tried to steal my technology!"

"You Stark family are all shameless liars!"

"I also invented this prototype. How can it be said to be yours?"

Facing the angry Dr. Pym, Stark put away his armor and sat lazily on the sofa.

"I say you're a bit weird."

"If, I mean if, it was you who created the atomic bomb, can you say that the atomic bomb belongs to you?"

Stark spread his hands.

"Don't forget that all the research you did at SHIELD, the resources you consumed, and the manpower you used were all provided to you by SHIELD."

"So strictly speaking, everything you do belongs to the state, not to you personally."

"Don't tell me you didn't get your share of the salary back then?"

"Besides, with the subsequent changes in SHIELD's structure, those useless pieces naturally had to be disposed of."

"So the owner of this item has also changed."

"Not to mention that the equipment you created consumed other people's resources, legally speaking, you have no right to claim sovereignty over these items."

Stark portrayed the face of a capitalist vividly and thoroughly.

"So I don't know where your claim that someone stole your technology came from."

"If my father really had any ideas about your technology, do you think you could have walked away with all the Ant-Man armors?"

"What do you mean!"

Dr. Pym was ridiculed by Stark and almost lost his mind.

"I didn't expect your talent in scientific research to be even inferior to my father's. Even your IQ is so useless."

Stark looked at Pym with pity.

"If you think about it, you should know that my father's views on the use of technology may differ from yours, but he definitely doesn't covet your technology."

"Bullshit! I already discovered that he had tried to..."

Pimm's face is red, commonly known as red Wen.

Lynn was watching from the side, really worried that Pim might not pay attention and get so angry that he passed out.

"Are you sure it was my father who did it, and not someone else?"

"Even if you have been isolated from the world for all these years, you should know that Hydra is still threatening the safety of the world."

Stark looked at Pym with an incredulous look.

"Back then I could understand that you two were both resentful about your differences and didn't want to sit down and talk it out."

"But now, even if you use your pitiful brain capacity a little and think about it, you should know that since Hydra has been hiding in the dark for so long..."

"Is there a slight possibility that Hydra was behind the incident back then?"

"Ok?"

"hiss……"

Pym's face turned pale instantly.

As a scientist, Dr. Pym is certainly not a fool. Lynn just mentioned it and he immediately thought of this possibility.

It is precisely because this possibility is extremely high, and it is even possible to be basically certain that this is the truth of the matter, that Dr. Pym's face is so pale.

It turned out that he had misunderstood old Stark for so many years.

The conflicts between him and old Stark now seem so ridiculous!
From beginning to end, Stark never thought of betraying him.

He always thought too much.

"No matter what you want, and I don't care what your purpose is, I'll detain you first, and leave the equipment with me for now."

Stark glanced at Dr. Pym and then said lightly.

"If you want your people and equipment back, come see me in person."

Stark's voice was cold and serious.

"I don't care what happened back then. In short, you sent people to invade my base, so you must give an explanation."

"As for your so-called enlargement and shrinking technology and Pym particles..."

Stark snorted disdainfully.

"Sorry, I haven't noticed yet."

"So you don't have to worry about me stealing your technology."

"We, the Stark family, have never been people who would do such things."

After saying that, Stark hung up the phone without caring what Pym thought.

Stark can be said to have completely controlled Dr. Pym.

According to the information he found, Pym has not had a good time in recent years.

His wife was involved in an accident and her whereabouts remain unknown until now.

Despite what the screen insisted, the wife was merely missing, not dead.

But Stark felt that given the situation, it was impossible for a person who had been missing for so many years to come back alive?

Old Pim was obsessed with research, which led to her not paying much attention to her daughter's growth.

So later on, I was betrayed by my partner.

When he was betrayed by his partner, his daughter was even the executive chairman of the company.

But later on, old Pim seemed to have discovered the conspiracy of the company's partners and used it to convince his daughter, so the two of them have now joined forces.

Anyway, old Pim is now homeless and wandering around.

What’s strange is that even Stark has no way to lock down Old Peete’s address for the time being.

Otherwise, Stark would not let the other party come up to give him an explanation, but would go directly to the other party's door to ask for an explanation.

"Uh... I'm just a mercenary hired by someone."

Seeing that the conversation between the two parties had ended, Scott spoke cautiously.

"Since you have reached an agreement, there should be nothing for me to do here, right?"

"Why don't you let me go back first? I have children waiting for me at home."

Glancing at Scott, Stark seemed to remember something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Let me see, Scott... was once sentenced to prison for theft and robbery."

"You have a child, but your child was already awarded to your ex-wife during the divorce."

"So you were lying."

"Uh-huh?"

Scott's eyes widened.

He didn't expect that his information would be mastered by the person in front of him so quickly.

"Even if you go home now, you will be alone."

Scott laughed awkwardly twice, as if he felt a little guilty because his lies were exposed.

"Let me see what you're in jail for. What did you steal? How could you..."

“Ah… so that’s how it is!”

Looking at the information about Scott's past on the Internet, Starkla's voice grew long.

"I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of justice?"

Scott felt a little embarrassed when he was suddenly praised by others.

"Well...if you want to talk to me for a minute, could you please put me down first?"

Scott smiled wryly.

"Don't worry, I won't run away."

"After all, without my suit, I'm nothing."

"It's really inconvenient for me to talk when I'm tied up like this, right?"

Scott lay crouching on the ground, trying to raise his head, looking at Stark expectantly.

Scott was wrapped up tightly, like a caterpillar.

Seeing Scott's sincerity, Stark nodded at the panel.
