Exactly What He Wanted

Dr. Pym was taken away by the police. As Xia Yu expected, not long after, Xia Yu received a call from the police.

"Hello, Mr. Xia, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. This is the San Francisco Police Department. We have a case that requires your assistance in the investigation."

The policeman on the phone swallowed hard; harassing an Avengers in the middle of the night.

I don't know if I've gone mad, but I actually believed that crazy old man's words.

But since they've said it out loud, you can't just ignore it.

"San Francisco Police Department? What's going on? Do they need my help?"

Xia Yu looked quite surprised.

"Here's the thing, twenty minutes ago, we arrested an elderly man here. He went on a shooting spree in his own home in the middle of the night. We received a call from a neighbor, but when we arrived at the scene, the old man said it was you... you harassed him in the middle of the night, accusing him of trespassing, so he fired in self-defense, so..."

"You're crazy. I'm still in New York. Even in my Armor, I can't fly back from San Francisco."

Xia Yu muttered somewhat angrily.

Being woken up in the middle of the night is a reasonable reaction.

However, the police officer couldn't just let it go; it wouldn't be legally justifiable.

He spoke even more cautiously.

"Mr. Xia, you understand, I believe you, but since they said that, I need to prove it. Do you have any quick ways to prove your claims about New York? I... we..."

The police officer was extremely embarrassed.

Xia Yu paused for a moment.

"Okay, give me your personal phone number, and I can send you a video."

Xia Yu completely absolved himself of all responsibility.

Dr. Pym is in trouble; the police simply consider him insane, and no amount of explaining will clear his name.

Ultimately, Hope brought a lawyer and managed to get Dr. Pym released on bail from the police station on the grounds that he was drunk and hallucinating. The police also ordered Dr. Pym to see a psychologist for a psychological evaluation within a week.

If Dr. Pym's attitude towards the Avengers was one of dislike before, now it can be said that he has become their enemy.

Dr. Pym spent the first half of his life as a top scientist at S.H.I.E.L.D.., and even after leaving S.H.I.E.L.D.., he remained the founder of Pym Technologies, despite being later ousted from the company.

He was also a wealthy man, a respectable person.

When have I ever been locked up in a police station and treated like a madman?

An enraged Dr. Pym ignored Hope's advice and went to New York to settle scores with Xia Yu.

Dr. Pym entered the base without any problems.

Natasha specifically took him to the place where Shuri and the others worked.

"Make that son of a bitch Xia Yu come out and see me."

Dr. Pym shouted in exasperation.

"Dr. Pym, I'm sorry, Xia isn't here today."

Natasha was gentle; she knew what Xia Yu had done, and Dr. Pym's anger was well-founded.

"Hiding won't do any good. If he doesn't come out, I'm not leaving here. And where's that bastard Stark? And those guys who came to my house for a barbecue?"

Dr. Pym has come to demand an explanation; he's not going to let any of those who went to his house a few days ago get away with it.

"They've all gone out. How about this, Doctor, you wait here for a while, and they'll let you know as soon as they get back, okay?"

Dr. Pym certainly didn't believe it. He looked around the Avengers Compound, and no one stopped him; he was free to search wherever he wanted.

But Xia Yu and the others were deliberately avoiding him, so how could they find him?

Dr. Pym was determined this time, so Natasha took him back to where they started and waited for Xia Yu and the others.

Dr. Pym waited for four or five hours.

I lost my temper countless times, but the girls at the base always apologized and greeted me with smiles.

Dr. Pym a gentleman. Although Xia Yu deserves to die a thousand times in his mind, it's not his style to get angry at a few little girls for no reason.

Are you just going to leave like that? I'm not willing to give up. You've made my family's life miserable. I'll stay at your base. I'm not afraid you'll never come back.

Dr. Pym suddenly felt that his idea was particularly brilliant.

Since you can come to my house and mess with me, why don't I mess with you here?

If you can't take it out on a few girls, then you can cause some trouble for your research department, right?

With Tony Stark absent, only a young Black girl is in charge here; she probably won't be very capable.

Dr. Pym decided to go up and mislead them, to cause some trouble.

The research area in the Avengers Compound now occupies almost half of the entire first floor.

In the area spanning several thousand square meters, Xia Yu also transformed a corner into a rest area and entertainment area.

Dr. Pym was brought here from the beginning; the place where Shuri and the others worked was on the other side, quite far away.

Dr. Pym wasn't wearing his glasses either. He only knew they were researching and manufacturing something, but he didn't actually look at the specifics, nor did he care to.

This gave rise to a wicked thought, so Dr. Pym went over.

It was fine if you didn't get close, but once you did, Dr. Pym was startled.

Nothing here is simple.

Nanotechnology, energy shield—is this the engine of a spaceship?

That's the Tesseract? Is it used as an energy Tesseract?

Are they conducting an experiment here?

This... this is a man-made wormhole?

It looks like this formula has worked!

Shuri and the others were busy with their own things and didn't mind him wandering around.

Xia Yu had said before, if the old man doesn't speak, just ignore him; if he does speak, say what you mean and don't hide anything.

Dr. Pym was increasingly alarmed as he looked at the technology; many of the techniques were completely unheard of.

"What's this? A battery?" Dr. Pym asked, picking up a metal box about the size of a lighter.

"It should be called an energy storage block, or you can call it a battery if you want. Xia Yu brought it back from space, and after my improvements, the energy storage capacity has increased by thirty percent."

Shuri said without looking up.

"Oh?" Dr. Pym became interested.

"You modified it? How much energy can it hold, little girl?"

Dr. Pym said with a smile.

"If expressed in terms of electricity consumption, it's roughly 36 billion joules, about right."

"What?"

Dr. Pym's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the battery.

36 billion joules, roughly equivalent to 10,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity—what kind of crazy technology is this?

"You just said that you modified this?"

Dr. Pym confirmed it again.

"Yes."

Shuri didn't even look up. She was indeed very busy. She was calculating how to use Nanotechnology Uru Metal, and how to make Uru Metal self-repair when it was overloaded at the maximum value of energy transmission. She was figuring out at what value it would be enough to repair itself without causing the circuit to collapse.

"May I see what you're researching?" Dr. Pym asked earnestly, abandoning his dismissive attitude.

"Certainly!"

Shuri said it very frankly.

Dr. Pym was immediately trapped inside and couldn't get out.

"Yeah!"

In a room, Xia Yu and Tony watched the monitor, laughing heartily and high-fiving each other.
