Scott Lang was dumbfounded at the moment and felt like crying, but he had no tears left.
He had overheard a heated discussion just moments ago, and they all came to the same conclusion for the correct answer to the question. So he rushed to choose his answer, but in the end, he was the only one who chose C, while everyone else had chosen A.
"The answer to this question cannot possibly be me! Yes, I admit I was once imprisoned for stealing, but I know what's worth stealing and what's not. Going to the Avengers headquarters where superheroes gather, That's just asking for trouble, and I'm not that stupid!"
Scott Lang hurriedly argued, trying to convince them that he was not a thief.
However, the correct answer was announced, [The Correct answer is: Scott Lang/Ant man]
[Player Scott Lang answered incorrectly, 4 points deducted. Congratulations to players Tony Stark, Nick Fury, Loki Laufeyson, and Hank Pym for answering the question correctly and earning 1 point each]
At this moment, Scott Lang completely lost face and stared angrily at Tony Stark, "Hey, I trusted you so much. You're a superhero, and yet you use such shameless tricks to fool me!"
Tony Stark rubbed his chin, feeling a bit embarrassed at what he did. His original intention was aimed at Hank Pym. But he hadn't expected that Hank Pym wouldn't fall for the trick, and instead, Scott Lang became the victim.
Tony was about to apologize, but Scott Lang, who was getting angrier by the moment, scolded, "Very well, I now fully agree with what Hank just said. You are despicable and shameless. It must be in your family genes"
Tony Stark's expression changed immediately. He sneered, "Oh, don't expect anyone to take responsibility for your stupidity. Besides, this question has proven that you are indeed a thief. Since that's the case, I have no problem dealing with you. It's my duty to catch bad guys!"
"Shut up, I'm not a thief!"
Scott Lang's face turned black, "I've said it before, those corrupt rich people are thieves, just like you, defrauding ordinary people, and stealing every coin from their pockets. I just did what any person with a good conscience should do!"
Tony Stark shrugged, "Don't try to evade it, let's look at the facts."
At this point, a video of the correct answer to the previous question began playing on the light curtain.
The footage showed a studio with two men and one woman surrounding a table with a structural diagram of a machine-made object on it.
Upon closer inspection, the four players found the two men in the camera to be very familiar. They were the new players Scott Lang and Hank Pym, who were selected this time.
"We need to retrieve the prototype of this information decoy, which I invented while working at S.H.I.E.L.D."
Hank Pym in the video pointed to the design drawing on the table and slowly explained.
The short-haired woman in the shot continued, "We need it to counteract the switch blocker Cross installed in the Vista vault."
Hank Pym then showed some old photos, "It's lying in Howard Stark's old warehouse, collecting dust. In New York, North America, this should be a piece of cake for you."
Seeing this, Tony Stark crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "See, it's clear who the thief is. No wonder you're speaking up for the old guy. You two are in this robbery!"
Hank Pym frowned and retorted, "But that's something I invented."
"Yet the ownership belongs to my father and falls under Stark Industries' property. No matter how you argue, this kind of behaviour is stealing!"
Tony Stark raised his chin, "And I bet you stole this information decoy prototype to facilitate sneaking into other people's homes and stealing things, right?!"
From the conversation between the three in the video, it wasn't difficult to analyze this information.
It was also clear that the reason Scott Lang would become Ant-Man in the future was obviously due to Hank Pym's help and approval.
Nick Fury asked curiously, "Hank, who is Cross?"
Hank Pym explained angrily, "Darren Cross, my student, is energetic and ambitious. After I retired, the company managed to develop well under his hands."
"Really? It sounds like you have a good relationship." Nick Fury asked immediately, "If that's the case, why would you try to sneak into your student's home in the future?"
"Haha."
Hank Pym was expressionless, "How can I know the answer to the future?"
He said so, but he had roughly guessed some truths in his heart. From this video, it was evident that his future self had begun to train Scott Lang. This guy, with a history of theft, had become a new generation of Ant-Man.
Ant-Man's origins lay in the technology related to Pym particles. After the tragedy happened, Hank Pym realized that this technology could bring great harm to society, so he completely sealed it up.
But after years of peace, something must have happened to prompt the restart of the Ant-Man project.
Hank Pym thought that his student, who was as curious as he was ambitious, must have secretly investigated some news about Ant-Man since he learned about it. Thus, it could be reasonably inferred that his restart of the Ant-Man Project had an inseparable connection with his student Darren Cross.
The video in the light curtain continued.
The camera cut to a plane flying through the clouds. In the picture, Scott Lang had changed into an Ant-Man suit and had become as small as an ant, with a group of flying ants beside him.
After communicating with Hank Pym, he rode a flying ant and flew out. Hank Pym and the short-haired woman were in a monitoring room, watching his movements closely.
Everything seemed to be going well, but when Scott Lang passed through the clouds, something went wrong.
"Hey, Hank, didn't you say this was just an abandoned warehouse? Bullshit! You bastard!"
There was a rectangular building below him, which looked very similar, after all, there was a very obvious sign on it—Avengers headquarters!
In the monitoring room, Hank Pym realized that his information was wrong as he looked at the old photos. He hurriedly reminded, "Evacuate, evacuate quickly!"
Seeing this, Tony Stark couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, two stupid thieves! Can't you check the place beforehand? You're really stupid and amateur!"
