Since leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. and being kicked out of the company he founded, Hank·Pym has been living in isolation, and is particularly sensitive and suspicious of people and things around him. Therefore, he is extremely interested in - or in other words wary of - the person Xiang Qian said "warning Quantum Realm".
Under repeated questioning by the old man, Xiang Qian always avoided answering and only stated that the "person" was not from Earth at all and had nothing to do with any country or political organization on Earth.
Pym had no choice but to show his cards. "What do you want me to do, and what can you give me? You don't have enough chips just for that small device."
"In addition, is the video of your song and dance performance just now enough?" Tony interjected from the side, deliberately pinching the old man.
Pym glanced coldly and snorted disdainfully, "Stark's boy."
This "threat" is more like a malicious joke. Everyone knows that it is impossible to implement it, let alone have any actual effect.
Xiang Qian said calmly, "I can provide a fair trade solution: you help me solve my difficulties, and I will help you solve yours."
"What difficulties can I have?" Dr. Pym seems to be casual, but in fact he is already very energetic; this is the time to start formal negotiations and test each other's cards.
"Of course your difficulties come from your good student." Xiang Qian said with a sneer, "Darren Klaue is cooperating with United States Armed Forces and doing everything possible to copy your Pym Particles."
"I've heard of him." Tony interjected again, but it was to tease old Pym, "I heard that he was not only your student, but also almost became your son-in-law. As a result, he took away your company before taking away your daughter. If the company is also regarded as a child, it means that two daughters were taken away at once. Don't you feel particularly sad?"
As a result, Pym became furious. "Hope has seen through that bastard's true face! He is just like your Stark family, they are all thieves, robbers, and dirty things!"
The phrase "two daughters were snatched away" really hurt the old man's lungs; there may also be some old grudge between the Pym family and the Stark family at play.
The quarrel escalated instantly.
Xiang Qian simply took a step back and made way for the two of them to make way for the "battlefield", and even listened with interest.
The speaking styles of these two people were very much in line with their respective personalities; one was domineering and stern, while the other was eloquent and witty. The quarrel was so heated that Xiang Qian relived the feud between the two families and learned a lot about the dark history of the two families.
In the end, it was Tony who was superior in skills and made old Pym so angry that he turned his gun and fired at Xiang Qian: "I don't need two ignorant boys to boast here; I will solve my troubles myself, and you can go back and solve it yourself with your troubles!"
Although he suffered a lot, Xiang Qian was neither impatient nor angry. Instead, he spread his hands and acted innocent. "Don't implicate me, Dr. Pym; in fact, I am on your side. Is there more dirty information about Howard? Tell me more, I also like to hear it."
Pym and Tony snorted at the same time, but stopped arguing.
Just like lighting a bigger fire at a fire scene, after all the oxygen is used up, the fire becomes smaller.
"Dr. Pym, I don't know how you plan to solve your troubles." Xiang Qian regained control of the conversation, "Are you planning to return to your old business, sneak into Krauss Industries, destroy their design drawings, and steal prototype equipment?"
Dr. Pym said nothing, but his eyes flashed, obviously he was told something that was on his mind.
Xiang Qian chuckled disdainfully, "I knew it. Lauren Klaues has hooked up with many powerful people and has grown in power. On the contrary, you have disappeared for so many years and have more enemies than friends. I guess you can't find a better way."
"So what, as long as the method is effective." Dr. Pym is not boasting. After all, he has reached a consensus with his daughter and... at least on cooperation. With the internal and external cooperation, the chance of success is actually not small.
"I don't doubt that you have a chance of success. After all, you are also an old agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.." Xiang Qian said with a smile, "But what happens after success? When Klaue's Industries cooperates with When your friends become angry and use all their strength to hunt down Ravagers, what should you do? Let Miss Hope hide with you, flee around the world, and never see the light of day again?"
Dr. Pym was speechless for a moment. He really couldn't deal with the enemy's pursuit afterwards.
This old man is not a character who can put down his body and make connections, otherwise he would not fall out with everyone around him. He first quit S.H.I.E.L.D., and then quit the company he founded. After working hard for most of his life, he almost ended up empty-handed.
Xiang Qian struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade, "I can provide you with a safe hiding place and all the technical equipment you need; more importantly... you also need to verify the existence form of the Quantum Realm and find the entrance to the Quantum Realm; am I right, Dr. Pym?"
Dr. Pym's eyes suddenly became sharp. "What else do you know?"
"Don't be nervous, Dr. Pym. I don't know much. The only thing that is certain is that you have never given up searching for the missing Ms. Janet." Xiang Qian said calmly, "If it can be verified that Quantum Realm belongs to a stable space-time dimension, it means that Ms. Janet still has hope of survival; don't tell me that you have never thought of this."
This is the third long period of silence for Pym since tonight's meeting. Every silence means that his attitude of resisting cooperation has been shaken, especially this third time, which was the most severe.
After a long while, Dr. Pym finally spoke with difficulty, "Considering Quantum Realm as the intersection of time and space... is just one of many quantum hypotheses."
"That's why we need to verify." Xiang Qian said, "If the verification results are in line with expectations, it means that it is a relatively stable space-time dimension. In fact, because the time flow rate in different dimensions is different, thirty years in reality may only have passed thirty minutes in the Quantum Realm - you should understand what this means."
What does it mean?
Dr. Pym knows exactly what this means.
The old man's expression was changing. Although he tried hard to suppress his excitement, he couldn't hide it from Xiang Qian, a self-taught psychologist.
"There's no need to make a decision in a hurry. Let's wait until we resolve Lauren Klaue's problem before we discuss it in detail. I believe you will naturally understand by then that you need my help."
Xiang Qian doesn't seem to care at all whether this grumpy old man will break his promise and burn bridges.
Old Pym's face instantly darkened.
This guy is threatening him!
This Playboy is declaring the following fact: You can escape the pursuit of the United States authority, but you certainly cannot escape my grasp!
