A lakeside villa in the suburbs of New York, this is a retirement home that Tony chose for him according to Howard's request.

Next to the two-storey wooden house, there is a beautiful forest lake, and there are few people around.

When Kyle arrived here in Tony's car, he couldn't believe for a moment that a Frankenstein like Howard, even on the wild planet of the Galactic Alliance, built a tech protection building for him with his bare hands out of garbage, and returned to Earth to live in such a simple house of ordinary people.

Entering the villa, Kyle was even more surprised when he saw Howard sitting in an old man's chair in the hall reading a book with reading glasses.

At this time, Howard had aged a lot more than four months ago, his hair was all pale, and the skin on his face was dry and wrinkled, full of vicissitudes of life carved by the knife of time.

Lucy also covered her mouth in disbelief and blurted out, "Howard, why don't you slow down aging with an infinite formula?" You ......"

"Lucy."

Kyle interrupted Lucy's words with a timely wave of his hand, and took a few steps forward alone, looking down at Howard as he sat in his chair.

Howard was as old as an eighty-year-old, but he was still conscious, looking up at Kyle. He took off his reading glasses, put down the study book in his hand, and said softly, "Master, you are here." ”

Kyle laughed and scolded, "Howard." You're a bad guy, you're going to have a problem. My brain is gone, I don't use the infinite formula, and I don't ask for a natural lifespan. ”

Howard smiled, and naturally knew in his heart that the head of the family could do anything, even if he wanted eternal life, the head of the family could do it.

But he didn't need that anymore.

"The head of the house."

Howard smiled slightly and said, "I used to think that scientific research was all I had, so I was always afraid that one day I would die, that I would never be able to study again, and that I would not be able to see the scientific crystallization full of wisdom in the future." But it wasn't until I joined the Carl family and had Tony that I gradually realized the importance of my family. ”

Howard paused, then continued, "I saw the beauty of science in those days of wandering in the stars, and now that my family is together, I have nothing to regret in my life. Tony is better than blue, and inherited Stark Industries, so I was able to rest and retire completely. ”

Tony and Potts at the doorway stood hand in hand and looked at Howard happily.

"I see. If that's what you want, then I don't have much more to say. ”

Kyle nodded, respecting Howard's choice.

It can be seen that Howard is really tired, from the battlefield of World War II to the galactic battlefield, he has been paying silently behind his back, and now he has silently disappeared from the world, and there is nothing bad about it.

It's just that there are fewer and fewer acquaintances of the same generation, which makes Kyle a little disappointed. If one day, even Captain America Steve, Thor, and Supreme Mage Ancient One are no longer in the world, then the world may really be silent.

Howard raised his cloudy eyes and coughed lightly, "Tony, Potts, you go up to the second floor first, prepare dinner, I have something to talk to the Kyle family master alone." ”

"Okay." Tony nodded immediately.

"Lucy, let's go up to the second floor together." Potz leaned over and took Lucy's arm and smiled.

"Okay." Lucy obediently follows Potts up to the second floor with Tony, leaving the hall space for Howard and Kyle.

Kyle was not polite, as if he was at home, he came to the sofa opposite the chair, and sat down with Erlang's legs crossed, "Between you and me, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Okay."

Howard bowed his head and said straight to the point, "Have you heard of Hank Pym?"

"Pym......" Kyle's eyes flashed as he didn't expect the name to come out of Howard's mouth.

Looking back, Howard stated, "Hank was a brilliant scientist, and wisdom was not below me. When you left Earth at the end of World War II, Hank Pym joined S.H.I.E.L.D. as a soldier and scientist, working with me for a while. ”

"He invented an object that I am still amazed by to this day, and it is difficult to surpass it in half a lifetime of research."

"What's that?" Kyle asked, pretending not to understand.

"Pym particles."

Howard took a deep breath and said, "That's an important technology that can be scaled and scaled at will, and Hank also mastered the method of controlling ants, and built the Ant-Man suit with Pym technology. He and his wife, Ant-Man, agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., protected the world in the transition between the old century and the new century. ”

Kyle said calmly, "And then." As far as I know, there is no such thing as 'Ant-Man' in S.H.I.E.L.D. right now. ”

"Yes. I also returned to Earth and asked someone to investigate and find out. ”

Howard slowly turned around, took out a file bag from his back, took out a file and put it on the table, and on the front was an old gentleman with gray temples and glasses, "Hank Pym was sentenced to death in 1975 during a special operation after I left Earth, because his wife became smaller and infiltrated it in order to prevent the explosion of nuclear weapons. As a result, Hank fell out with S.H.I.E.L.D. and hid the invention of the Pym technology, so it has not been known. ”

Kyle picks up Hank Pym's profile and flips through the pages, which are similar to the ones he had asked Rain Hitomi to investigate.

Howard continued: "Later, he Hank opened a company called 'Pym Technology', but instead of openly mining the core technology of the Pym particle, he devoted himself to technology and engineering, until he has been retired for several years now, and the Pym particle has disappeared from the world for decades. ”

Kyle put down the file and looked at Howard, "Then you bring it up now because you want me to ......"

Howard looked a little excited, and said, "Family master." Pym particles, no less than infinite energy, steel suits, and artificial intelligence of the top technology products, if we can make reasonable use of Pym particle technology, we will definitely be able to raise the current stage of scientific and technological civilization to a higher level! ”

Kyle nodded in agreement and squinted, "I see what you mean, if you can, it's best to pull Hank Pym into the Karl family." Otherwise, at least master the Pym particle technology. ”

Howard bowed solemnly, he also felt a little indebted to Hank Pym, and wanted to make up for it a little anyway.

In fact.

Previously, Kyle had already had a series of investigations and plans on Ant-Man and Pym techniques, but he first focused on Dr. Strange and the little spider, and happened to encounter the attack of the Dark Elves in the Divine Domain, so he didn't have time to start.

But now. Since Howard specifically mentioned that the matter on the God's Domain side has just been resolved, he can try to contact Ant-Man on the spot.

"Leave this matter to me."

Kyle smiled faintly, already having an idea in his mind.
