After finalizing the intention to cooperate with the old Pym, Lauren Klaue's fate actually entered the track of failure.
When two Playboys who have squeezed out all other rich people to compete for the world's third place join forces, the energy they exert is definitely not comparable to that of an old Pym who is forced to retire and is hated by everyone.
The board of directors of Krauss Industries was replaced by several unfamiliar faces overnight. Some shareholders who had long lost confidence due to the slow progress of the company's new product development happily accepted the check issued by Tony and handed over their board seats to others.
On the other hand, the laboratory that originally cooperated with Klaue's Industries and provided key material support for its research and development projects began to review the benefits of the contract and delayed the contract performance steps.
Lauren Klaue, who was slapped twice in a row, immediately became alert and hurriedly discussed countermeasures with his supporters, including the military; as a result, the most important financial backers behind him surfaced one after another.
The two Playboy used their respective connections to investigate and found that, apart from the military, the venture capital company to which Klaue's Industries's largest investment fund belonged had a CEO named Mitchell Carson.
Xiang Qian's mind turned to Memory Planet, oh, S.H.I.E.L.D. was born, and he was suspected to be Hydra's undercover...
Then there is no need to talk nonsense, a phone call shakes up the new S.H.I.E.L.D. chief Coulson who is doing everything possible to hunt down the remnants of Hydra.
What happened next was even simpler. Mitchell Carson had a guilty conscience and found out that Coulson was secretly investigating him. He immediately packed up and ran away, leaving the venture capital company under his name as an empty shell overnight. Lauren Klaue had cut off her source of funding and was in dire straits when she was stabbed in the back by her ex-girlfriend, Ms. Hope, who planted a Trojan horse virus in the company's server and destroyed all research and development data.
When the news spread that Mitchell Carson was suspected of Hydra, even the military turned its back and planned to hold Kraus responsible for colluding with terrorists. In fact, it was trying to squeeze some profits from Kraus Industries in the name of counter-terrorism to make up for the loss of the initial investment.
When things got to this point, Lauren Klaue was helpless. From being prosperous to being embattled on all sides, it only took less than a week.
However, Lauren Klaue, who once fell in love with a junior sister and kicked out her teacher, also had the courage to take risks. At the last moment when she had no choice but to do anything, she actually thought of following Mitchell Carson's example and took away the self-developed Wasp Suit semi-finished product.
Finally, Xiang Qian, who was well prepared, was imprisoned in Subspace. As for the seized Wasp Suit, it was just a semi-finished product and was given to old Pym.
"It won't be long before the board of directors will ask you to come back and take charge of the overall situation. Have you figured out how to deal with Klaue's Industries's mess?" Xiang Qian asked the old Pym looking at the noisy situation in the distance, with the same casual attitude as when he dealt with Lauren Klaue.
Old Pym corrected him seriously. "It's not Klaue's Industries, it's Pym Industries."
"That's right, after all, the person named Klaue has already fled in fear of crime." Xiang Qian responded casually.
The fact that Lauren Klaue was imprisoned in Subspace was so secretive and efficient that no one outside knew about it. Now, in the outside world's perception, Lauren has escaped with the company's most important product. When he reappears in front of the world, it will probably be time for him to be arrested and brought to justice by law enforcement agencies.
In such a turbulent time, the only person who can come forward to appease people's hearts and even turn the tide is the company's founder Dr. Pym. As far as the board of directors is concerned, no matter how bad-tempered the old man is, they can only admit it with pinching their noses - the most important thing is to protect their own money first.
When things got to this point, Dr. Pym was deeply moved; although these two Playboys from rival families were annoying, they were really good at fiddling with the rules of the game, taking full advantage of the various resources of the big capitalists and knocking his own student into the dust in a matter of seconds.
The current situation is countless times better than what I originally expected; not only will I not be troubled by law enforcement agencies, I will also get my own company back in a matter of course.
When old Pym was sighing, he suddenly heard the beeping sound of Xiang Qian's Electronic Bracelet, followed by Tony's urgent voice. "James, someone has invaded Quantum Lab... Fake... come back quickly, this guy... hey... it's a bit tricky."
Tony's words for help were occasionally mixed with shouts and curses, and it sounded like he was fighting with someone.
Xiang Qian frowned slightly; an enemy that can make even Iron Man find it difficult should not be underestimated.
In a flash of thought, the portal went straight to Quantum Lab, Xiang Qian and old Pym stepped in one after another.
This is a laboratory established in the past week with the technical support provided by Dr. Pym. The basic structure has just been completed, and the laboratory is still full of various decoration materials. It was already in a mess. At this moment, two figures inside were fighting fiercely, almost like demolishing a house, turning the laboratory into a pile of rubble.
The two figures who were fighting fiercely noticed the arrival of the third party almost at the same time, and suddenly separated when Xiang Qian approached.
The two figures are distinct; the bright red and gold color can only be Tony's Iron Man Armor, and the other mainly gray and white figure is slightly low-key and dark, and must be an intruder.
Seeing Xiang Qian appear, the gray-white figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Be careful, don't let her escape." Tony's voice came out from the speaker, full of force, and clearly pointed out the gender of the intruder - even if the other person was completely covered with airtight.
Xiang Qian's response was much faster than Tony's reminder. Before he finished speaking, the space barrier had quietly covered the entire building where the laboratory was located.
The magic power silently swept through every corner of the building, and soon discovered the intruder who was incompatible with the general environment; she actually ran out of the laboratory before she could finish a sentence and appeared on the floor below.
However, since she was locked by magic, she could no longer run away; in the blink of an eye, a deep crack appeared under her feet, like a monster opening its mouth and swallowing her whole body.
Then, Xiang Qian, Tony, and old Pym gathered together to observe the intruder trapped in Subspace through the barrier.
The environment in Subspace completely replicates the corridor of the laboratory building, which is also the location where the intruder was before falling into Subspace; but no matter which door or window the intruder opens, whether moving forward or backward, he is always greeted by the same corridor and the same doors and windows.
Even if the intruder activates the ability to flash and travels freely on both sides of the wall, ceiling, and floor, he will always see the same scene in the corridor.
She was trapped in a Infinity looping space maze.
"What the hell kind of ability is this?" Tony complained in a depressed voice. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot from the battle just now. "Is it Mutants? I heard that Mutants has this kind of super power that can penetrate solid objects."
"Maybe it's some kind of special technology; the clothes she wears seem more like technical equipment." Old Pym was also observing carefully.
Xiang Qian did not join the ranks of speculation because he had already found the true identity of the intruder from his memory.
"Ava·Starr, codenamed Ghost, was once a secret agent under S.H.I.E.L.D.. Her ability was due to errors in particle experiments that caused body tissues to continuously tear and reorganize at the molecular level. It is not Mutants's superpower."
Tony said in surprise, "You actually know it again? How much information about S.H.I.E.L.D. do you have in your mind?"
Xiang Qian smiled "hehe": "Almost... everything."
"Haha..." Tony had the words "I don't believe it" written all over his face, "So she is an agent; but S.H.I.E.L.D. has been banned. Who does she work for now? CIA, FBI, or Hydra?"
"I don't know who she works for, but besides being an agent, she has another identity;" Xiang Qian said, looking at old Pym who still didn't know why. "She is another victim of Mr. Pym's notorious bad temper."
Old Pym was stunned. "What does this have to do with me? I don't know her at all."
Xiang Qian sneered, "Ellyhes Starr—her father; once worked with you at S.H.I.E.L.D., but resigned angrily because of disagreements with you and established an independent laboratory. Later, he died in an accident during a particle collision experiment; his wife also died at the same time."
Regarding the details of that experimental accident, Xiang Qian actually did not disclose other details; the explosion caused by that experimental accident not only destroyed the laboratory and killed Starr and his wife, but also exploded a space rift leading to an alternate dimension.
Kamar-Taj's mages paid a high price to seal the rift, but the details are not known to outsiders, and there is no need to publicize them.
Old Pym also remembered at this time. "It turned out to be that stubborn idiot. I remember pointing out more than once that his calculation results were wrong, but he stubbornly insisted on his own opinion; did he die because of an experimental accident? What a pity, he used his own life to prove that I was right."
"You don't seem to feel sorry for his death at all?" Xiang Qian asked.
Old Pym sneered, "I never waste my feelings on idiots."
This old man's character is simply a bad and enhanced version of Tony·Stark--and it's the Tony·Stark before he changed his mind and became Iron Man.
"Perhaps the main responsibility for the death of Mr. and Mrs. Starr lies with them, but it is undeniable that your bad character and words also played a huge negative role in it." Xiang Qian said calmly, "In the whole thing, only the little girl was the most innocent victim."
Old Pym looked resentful and did not speak to refute.
Arrogant people may not have "humility" in them, but they are not without conscience.
Tony asked from the side, "Then why did she come here this time, to seek revenge from old Pym? How did she find this place?"
"I don't know, but it's not difficult to check." Xiang Qian said, "Lock her up for a while first. Agents with special abilities like this are not easy to cultivate and are of extremely high value. If contact is lost for a long time, someone will definitely be anxious."
