When Scott Lang opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, he saw a serious old face full of wrinkles. He subconsciously lifted the quilt, made sure that his clothes were neat and his virginity was still there, and he quickly relaxed and relaxed. tone.
This series of actions made Hank’s face darken, and he began to doubt whether he had made the right choice in choosing this unreliable thief.
“The scientific name is ‘Paraponi Laclavata’, a giant tropical bullet ant. It ranks first in the ‘Schmidt Sting Index’. Don’t think about escaping or playing tricks. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.”
After Hank said a few words, he opened the door and left. Scott looked at the dense swarm of ants on the floor and couldn’t help but feel a little frightened. He tiptoed out of bed.
Before he could realize what was going on, as a prisoner imprisoned for grand theft, Scott had just been released from San Quentin Prison and was busy looking for a new job.
It turns out that even if you have a master’s degree in electrical engineering, no company is willing to hire an ex-con, even as a waiter at an ice cream chain.
In the United States, most companies conduct background checks when recruiting for positions, and there are even employment background check companies that are responsible for this task. If the other party has a criminal record, there is no doubt that he will be ruled out.
Although the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has repeatedly stated that if an employer refuses to hire someone because of his criminal record, the employer must provide a legitimate business reason that is consistent with the current employment position and the previous violation. There is some kind of relationship.
Unfortunately, little effect has been achieved. This kind of implicit discrimination is everywhere. Even if Scott does not commit a violent crime, it is still difficult to find a normal job.
In order to get visitation rights to his children from his ex-wife, he must have a stable job, a good living environment, and pay a certain amount of support every month… In short, he needs a sum of money.
So Scott finally decided to take a risk and cooperated with his former inmate Louis, preparing to do something big, targeting a retired billionaire, Hank Pym.
“Scott Lang, I believe you should know who I am. This is my daughter Hope.”
Hank sat in the living room and put down the newspaper in his hand. He looked at Scott, who had not yet understood what had happened, and said with a smile: “I took great pains to let you steal my suit, but Hope… But you were taken to jail.”
“Since you are sitting in front of me now, I need to tell you about the next task. After all, not everyone can break through my security system. The freezing metal trick is especially clever.”
“Are you spying on me?” Scott frowned.
Hank leaned back in his chair and said bluntly: “I have been observing you for a while, ever since you robbed Vista Company… Sorry, maybe I should use the word ‘theft’. Vista Company’s security system It’s the most advanced in the industry and almost invulnerable, but you broke into its system, stole millions of dollars, and drove the boss’s Bentley into the swimming pool.”
“Legal terms aside, this was a very successful crime. If you hadn’t gotten mad at the end and posted the transaction records online, the FBI would have found you.”
Scott remained silent. He was not a bad person in essence. Vista Company used financial means to illegally misappropriate millions of dollars of customers’ property. After he discovered this matter, he immediately reported it to his superiors, but the result was that Got fired.
As a technician, he couldn’t bear this tone, so Scott impulsively acted as a modern Robin Hood, hacked into the company’s security system, and returned the millions of transfers to the defrauded customers. This caused a stir at the time. Widespread discussion.
However, if you do something wrong, you must be punished. Scott was arrested and imprisoned by the FBI for breaking and entering and grand theft. His wife divorced him and he lost custody of their daughter. It was a heavy price.
“Dr. Pym, no matter what you want to do with me, or what purpose you have… I don’t want to be involved in this plan.”
Scott shook his head. He now understood that the old man in front of him deliberately set a trap and released the news through various channels, making Louis focus on the oversized safe in the basement of his home.
And like a fish that bit the hook obediently, he broke into his house and stole the suit. Hank Pym planned it all.
“With all due respect, you have no choice.”
Hank is not a nice guy. In fact, his character is worse than Tony Stark. Almost no one can work with him for a long time.
Overly opinionated, self-centered, and emotionally unstable… these are the things that make others turn away from Hank Pym.
“First, you broke into my home and stole important items containing cutting-edge technology. If I don’t withdraw the charges, you will be sent back to prison, this time with a longer sentence.”
The old man spoke slowly, took a sip of black tea, and continued: “Secondly, you have completed this task for me, and I can promise to help you reunite with your daughter.”
Hank offers his own chips, which is also Scott’s Achilles heel, he has a lovely daughter.
“As a father, if you are not even qualified to attend your daughter’s birthday party and give her gifts, then it would be a failure, wouldn’t it?”
Hank’s last words made Scott sit back in the chair. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: “I’m willing to do anything, as long as you don’t let me break into other people’s houses and steal things.”
“I just need you to break into someone’s house and steal something.”
Hank shrugged and said helplessly.
His student Darren Krauss worked hard to replicate the Pym particles. In fact, he was almost there and planned to sell this cutting-edge technology to Stark Industries.
Whether it is selling Pym particles or cooperating with the Stark family, this is unacceptable to Hank.
Moreover, if this cutting-edge technology is leaked and applied to the military industry or the development of weapons and equipment, it will cause huge harm.
So Hank wants to send someone to steal the completed “Wasp Suit” and destroy the server that stores the core data.
“Sorry, I have a question about this mission… How do you bypass the Ultron program and enter the Klaus Technology server?”
Scott raised his hand like a student and asked politely: “Although I don’t want to say this, but so far, no one can hack into the Ultron program developed by Mr. Tony Stark.”
“Stark Industries has offered a sky-high reward of 10 million U.S. dollars. If someone can hack into the Ultron program, not only will he receive an enviable huge reward, but he will also receive a generous job as a senior management officer in information engineering. Work… To be honest, I was very interested in it before, but it didn’t work out.”
“Tony Stark…a playboy who only makes flashy steel suits. I’ll fix that.”
Hank curled his lips in disdain. He was once a more outstanding genius than Howard Stark. He could win over that philistine businessman back then, and he would not lose to his son now.
