Chapter 18: Why not save Ant-Man

"Is that all? Indeed, Clint Patton and Sam Wilson have both made outstanding contributions to the United States, and it is not unacceptable for us to release them, but is that enough?" General Talbot heard Charles's request, thought about it for a while, and initially agreed to Charles's request, and then hesitantly asked if Charles had any other requests.

"Oh, do you want to meet my other requirements? Charles looked at Talbot, who was about to speak, and spoke.

"No, I mean, I need to explain your request to the other generals, and then get their consent before I can release the two of them, if that's the only request, Clint Patton and Sam Wilson should be released soon, after all, we can't lock up two people who have been working hard to contribute to the United States forever because of their differences, can we?" In the face of Charles's increase, General Talbot immediately changed his attitude, and no longer considered why Charles didn't let Ant-Man Scott Lang, who also helped the captain be locked up, to be released together, maybe Charles just didn't want to save him because Ant-Man had committed a crime.

"Then I'll wait for your good news, I hope you release them before they are drained of blood, oh no, it's still in the news rush, so these guys shouldn't be in the lab yet, right, in addition, about the source of their superpowers, I still hope you can keep it secret, no one wants a group of people to suddenly appear on their knees and beg me to give him superpowers, or the people I gave superpowers are forced to become guinea pigs, and there will be any serious consequences at that time, I won't be as rational as I am now. General Talbot's change of attitude did not affect Charles, he just coldly reminded General Talbot not to casually study his Devil Fruit ability, otherwise he would still be angry.

"Understood, then the outcome of this meeting is so decided, I will tell the others what you want, and at the same time, I personally very much hope that you can continue to live a quiet life, apologize to you for destroying your peace, and hope that you will not continue to mind. General Talbot saw that the two sides had reached a consensus, and after a polite exchange, he said goodbye to Charles, and then hurried back to the military base camp in a hurry, and he needed to discuss today's matter with his colleagues.

"Charles, you didn't say one less person, you didn't say that person who can get bigger and smaller. After General Talbot left, Laura came out of the corner and asked.

"I know, I even know that the man's name is Scott Lang, Ant-Man, so what? "HIH News Frontline" once reported on why he was arrested, and he was electrocuted quite miserably. Laura, I can save someone, but that person has to make me feel worth saving, and even I have to have a reason to save him, this guy has no relatives with me, and he has a criminal record, why should I save him. Charles didn't look back at Laura, Laura wanted to come out and talk about it just now, but Charles blocked it with his telekinesis.

"He's my comrade-in-arms, Charles, and you shouldn't have left him to fend for himself. Laura spoke, very dissatisfied with Charles.

"Of course, I remember that fight, the enemy was Tony and Natasha, and it was a good fight. Charles kindly reminded Laura that the time they fought at the airport, no one knew who was right and who was wrong, and the comradeship would be talked about later.

"Hmph, if you don't save him, I'll go. Anyway, if I catch you, you have to save me, and when the time comes, I will come back with him, and I will go to Jessica to borrow the compass, and you are not allowed to stop it. Laura said as she went to Jessica to borrow the Compass.

After the end of the civil war, Charles took back the compass, and then told Jessica that if she lent the compass casually in the future, Charles would permanently retract her right to use it, and if someone had an accident in the future, Jessica would have to rely on her detective talent to save people, although Jessica still had a bit of detective talent, but in the matter of saving people, who could open up who wanted to honestly find clues, so Jessica agreed to Charles, and without his permission in the future, the compass would never be lent.

"Laura, you also use your brains, first, there is only one compass of mind, how can I find you if you take it, how can I save you, second, now those guys have completely admitted defeat, you go to save people and are caught, they will only happily send you back, and then take some benefits from me, save something for our family, I really don't have many belongings here for them to take." โ€

In the face of Laura's willfulness, Charles painstakingly persuaded Laura not to do useless things, and finally looked at Laura's unyielding posture, so he could only explain: " Ant-Man, this guy is better than saving, first, the military grabbed the three of them, in addition to the reason that they helped Rogers, there is also the idea of letting Rogers throw himself into the net for them, and I left Ant-Man not to save it, only chose to rescue Barton and Sam, which will not destroy the military's plan, because the bait only needs one, and Barton and Sam can legally get out of prison.

Second, from the military's point of view, I have a reason to save Barton and Sam, but there is no reason to save Ant-Man, after all, both of them are superpowers obtained from me, from the level of technical protection, I need to keep my superpower technology secret, which will make the other party feel that I am not trying to save people, but to protect the technology, if Ant-Man is added, this is choosing to take sides, the military will not make a deal with a person who stands on Rogers' side, they will think that Rogers is hiding here and instructed me to do this, so leaving Ant-Man is the best choiceใ€‚ โ€

"Really?" Laura heard Charles's explanation, thought for a moment, found nothing wrong, and asked Charles if this was true?

"Of course, if I can really save that guy, why don't I save him together, although saving him is not good for me, it is not harmful, but in order to be able to let Barton and Sam come out legally, I can only leave him alone in prison for a while, believe me, as long as Barton and Sam come out, I will go with you to rescue that guy, how about it?" Charles answered Laura's question affirmatively, he didn't save Ant-Man and really didn't want the military to think that he was on Rogers' side, if he really had to choose, Charles chose to stand on his side, protect the individual or protect the collective, Charles chose to protect himself.

As for the matter of saving Ant-Man in the future, as long as Charles is careful not to be discovered by the military, he can do it and meet Laura's request, but Charles feels that this matter should have nothing to do with him, Rogers will not really let his team members be locked up until death, he should have rescued Ant-Man before Charles saves people, so his and Laura's guarantee is just a blank check.

"Okay, I see, we'll go save the Ant-Man when Barton and Sam come out. Laura heard Charles say that she would save Ant-Man after a while, so she agreed with Charles's words, after all, she also heard that Charles saved Patton and Sam from the military, and now that Charles has said that he will save him later, Laura naturally agreed, and then Laura struggled inwardly and asked Charles's opinion on the civil war: "Charles, do you think Rogers is wrong about this incident?"
