Three days later, at noon.

A sleek white classic car drove into New York City from the suburbs, facing the warm sun and the breeze, and after entering one of the main roads, it went directly to the bustling city where business buildings are clustered.

Pass through the security booth checkpoint.

The brakes of the classic car slowly stopped, and as the window rolled down, the main driver's seat was occupied by an old gentleman with a stern face.

He was dressed in a gentleman's suit, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and methodically handed several documents to the examiners.

The security guard looked down at the ID and immediately handed it over, "Hank Pym...... Welcome back to New York, Mr. Pym. ”

"I'm not dead yet."

Hank Pym teased himself, retrieved his papers, and drove on to an address.

Just yesterday morning.

The chairman of Daihank Pym, who manages Pym Technology, suddenly calls him and says that the company has something important to announce, and even his daughter, who is the manager, asks him to return to the company.

Hank Pym, who has been retired for many years, didn't think too much about it, so he canceled his original vacation plan and went to the company Pim Technology, which he founded and built.

Pym Technologies' main business is science and technology engineering, which is relatively high-end and single, and its reputation is naturally not as famous as Stark Industries, but it is also one of the rare technology companies in New York.

When Hank Pym arrived at the main building of Pym Technologies, there were already many invited business people.

Hank Pym was about to enter the hall when the security guard at the door quickly reached out and stopped him, "Sir, please show your ID card, or our company's invitation letter." ”

"Look at that first."

Hank Pym pointed to the photo of the founder hanging prominently on the first floor, and then removed his glasses, revealing a face that was almost identical to the one in the photo.

"Sorry sir, please come in, please come in!"

Seeing the real founder of the company for the first time, the security guard was also taken aback, and hurriedly got out of the way and bowed down to make a welcoming gesture.

Hank Pym didn't care, and walked into the hall on the first floor, where he soon saw his daughter, Hope Van Dyne.

Hope is also thirty years old, unmarried, and an absolute strong woman, who has remained as the heir to Pym Technology since Hank's retirement, serving as the general manager.

Now seeing Hope in a mature suit and skirt, with short shoulder-length hair and light makeup, smiling towards him, Hank Pym couldn't help but think of his dead wife.

It's been almost thirty years since the disappearance of a generation of Ant-Man.

Darren Cross, the current chairman and doctor of Pym Technologies, led a group of business people out of the second-floor reception hall.

When Cross saw Hank Pym in the hall on the first floor below, he immediately applauded happily and said loudly: "Look, that one is the founder of Pym Technology and my life mentor, Hank Pym." Please welcome him with applause. ”

Hank Pym had seen countless big scenes, standing in the middle of the hall, gladly receiving the gaze and applause of people from all walks of life.

Cross went downstairs to shake hands with Hank Pym, and after a few warm greetings, he couldn't wait to say, "Since Mr. Pym has come, let's go to the demo hall on the third floor together to uncover the purpose and significance of gathering everyone here today." ”

Cross led the group to the third floor of the Pym Technology headquarters, which served as a demonstration hall for the launch of technology products.

The space of the demonstration hall is very large, enough to accommodate 30 people without feeling crowded, with a large screen as a built-in wall, plus a glass and metal architectural structure, the overall look is very high-end atmosphere, and a strong atmosphere of science and technology comes to the face.

Cross, a professional in his early forties, came to the center of the presentation stand without stage fright under the watchful eye of many celebrities.

"Since I took over Pym Technologies, I've been working on developing a particle that can change the spacing between atoms by increasing density and intensity."

Cross's opening remarks just came out, which immediately attracted many people, but it also made Hank Pym frown, and he had an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.

"This revolutionary cross-century idea actually appeared in the hands of my mentor as early as 30 years ago. But why it kept being buried in Hank's pile of cobwebs, I don't know. ”

"But you can think about it, what if a soldier's body could be reduced to the size of an insect? ”

With that, Cross ignored the paleness on Hank Pym's face and activated the controller in front of a group of business people.

The large screen in the room suddenly lit up, showing fragments of ancient historical records.

In the black-and-white frame, the Hydra soldiers are attacked by unknown creatures and fall to the ground inexplicably, and as the picture continues to zoom in, a humanoid figure the size of an insect appears from it.

"Ant-sized people?"

Many people who saw the video exclaimed.

Cross's face was even more fanatical, and he said: "That's right, an Ant-Man, he will become the ultimate combat agent, with a size that is imperceptible to the naked eye, he can easily complete infiltration missions that others can't do." ”

"I'm right, my mentor, Hank." Cross smiled at Hank Pym, a generation of Ant-Man in the crowd.

"That's just a legend." Hank Pym's face remained calm.

"Really? Let's think of it as a legend. But it was because of Ant-Man that it inspired me. I wondered why we could not use that kind of particles, and stretchable steel, to create a special item. ”

Cross moved his body out of the way, and as he spoke, pillars rose from the demo platform. Inside the glass trough carried by the pillar is a thumb-sized, figurine-like wasp-style combat uniform.

"That's ......" Hank Pym's eyes widened, unable to pretend to be calm anymore.

"It's a wasp suit, it can be stretched and turned into the size of a wasp, and it's the ultimate combat weapon of all. It will be the ultimate weapon to end the wars of this age! ”

Cross laughed and played through the concept video of the Wasp suit, in which countless Wasps are unstoppable and marching around the world.

"Whoever wants to invest, you can come to me to place an order first."

Cross ended the product launch meeting with the last ambitious sentence, which also made many business people hotly boiling, and some people even called the price on the spot, making Cross smile like a profiteer.

After coming out of the demo hall.

Hank Pym's face was a little ugly, he called Cross aside, and said in a deep voice: "Darren, I hide the Pym particle for a reason, that thing is not perfect enough and should not appear in the world!" ”

"Hank, you could have worked with me, but it's too late. You were the one who destroyed the Pym particle, and now I'm going to carry it forward. ”

Cross apparently did not listen to the persuasion, threw down a few words, and went to talk to the business people about the order business.

Hank Pym was silent, and just then, Hope leaned closer, leaning closer to him and whispering, "Father." Darren still trusts me a lot, you give me the Ant-Man suit, and I'll take care of it. ”

"No, you're not suitable."

Hank Pym didn't hesitate, he shook his head and refused, and muttered, "I have a candidate, maybe I can try." ”

Wait for Hank Pym and a group of business people to leave the Pym Tech headquarters.

Alone, Cross returned to the demo hall and said respectfully towards a deserted corner, "Mr. Kyle, everything you commanded is done. ”

Voices reverberated slightly through the space of the presentation hall. As the scene in the room rippled, the wasp suit and the major screens on the demonstration stage disappeared, and the room was empty, only a few hovering drones were operating in mid-air, and the camera extinguished the surreal simulated holographic image just projected.

No one knows, it's all a big illusion created by technology.

Cross, who originally looked like a bald man, was restored to a young man with a cheek wearing a glass round helmet and holding a drone remote control.

In the originally empty corner of the room, Kyle was sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, looking up at the young man with his cheeks, "Good job, Quentin Baker." Although you were introduced by Howard, it really came to fruition. ”

Quentin excitedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Kyle, for giving me a stage to show my talents, and I hope to continue to play for you." ”

Kyle nodded, "It's up to you to perform next, you have to give Hank Pym enough oppression, otherwise Ant-Man won't be able to come out easily." ”

"Yes."

Quentin gladly accepted.
