My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 640 We are all thousand-year-old foxes, no one should pretend to be a scholar
"Do you think this is your back garden? You can come in whenever you want!"

Dr. Pym was a little annoyed. He and the Stark family had a long-standing grudge. Now that Lanie had stepped into his private villa so rashly, it undoubtedly plucked another string on his already tense nerves.

If he didn't have more important things to do right now, Dr. Pym would have kicked this uninvited guest out no matter what, even by using some unfriendly means.

"Don't be so excited, Doctor. We are not here to cause trouble. On the contrary, we are here just to show our concern for you, the former SHIELD veteran."

Lainie lied without blushing or beating her heart, and Skye and Sam behind her felt embarrassed for her.

Dr. Pym would not be easily fooled by such high-sounding words. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was an even stronger scrutiny in his gaze.

"Are you trying to say that you are here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Exactly. Doesn't the doctor usually watch the news? I have already publicly announced my withdrawal from the core of the Avengers. Now Steve is the one in charge of the Avengers. I am just an errand boy."

Lainie answered nonchalantly while looking around the room in a very familiar manner.

He didn't stop until his eyes fell on the photo frame on the bookshelf in the room.

"Heh, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. actually said that he was just an errand boy. It's really unbelievable how humble he is."

Dr. Pym's gaze narrowed. He hated having outsiders snoop into his private space so casually, especially when that gaze lingered on a photo frame that meant so much to him.

Embedded in it is a photo of his wife Janet when she was young, which is one of the memories he least wants to be touched.

"That's the truth, whether you believe it or not..."

Lainie looked away from the picture frame and did not continue dancing on the edge of the knife.

As she said, she was not here to cause trouble, and making enemies with Hank Pym was definitely the worst option in her plan.

"Why don't you two friends in the room come out and meet each other? After all, you have already met each other during the day. It would be a bit dishonest to keep it secret now, right?"

As Lainie spoke, she looked in the direction of the study. The two people inside were startled and couldn't understand when they were discovered.

However, the two did not show up rashly. After all, they couldn't be sure whether the other party was just bluffing.

Lainie didn't care about it. She just smiled and turned her attention back to Dr. Pym.

"By the way, I haven't introduced them to you, Doctor. These two are my friends. The Falcon is Sam Wilson. You should have met him during the day. The other one is a genius like me who also came from S.H.I.E.L.D., Sky the Shockwave."

"Hello, Doctor, it's an honor to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Skye and the other two took the initiative to step forward and greet the Doctor, but compared to the rudeness that Lainie had just shown, they now appeared much more humble and polite.

Dr. Pym did not make things difficult for the two of them. It was true that he had grudges against the Stark family, but that was only directed against the Stark family.

No matter from which angle you look at it, these two youngsters have nothing to do with the direct conflict with the Stark family, so there is naturally no need for him to vent his anger on them for no reason.

"Hello, Skye, Sam."

However, after the greeting, Dr. Pym no longer looked happy.

"Now that the 'concern' is over, can I ask you to leave?"

Lainie chuckled and shook her head at that.

"How could that be? We are here on a mission. We will not leave easily before meeting your 'successor'."

Lainie deliberately emphasized the word "successor", with a cunning and provocative look in her eyes, indicating that she already knew the secret hidden by Dr. Pym.

Dr. Pym stared at Lanie, his old face filled with anger and helplessness. His clenched fists trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the emotions that were about to explode.

"I warned SHIELD not to bother me and my family again!"

Dr. Pym almost clenched his back teeth when he said this. Every word sounded like ice squeezed out from between his teeth, so cold that it made people shudder.

However, Lainie didn't care about it at all. This threat was nothing to her.

She didn't even respond to Pym's words, but instead said lightly:
"Mitchell Carson is Hydra." "Who?"

Dr. Pym was stunned. The anger that was about to rush to his forehead was instantly extinguished by these words, and his face was replaced by shock and disbelief.

He raised his head sharply, staring at Lainie with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to penetrate her eyes and confirm the truth of this statement.

"Your old rival, Mitchell Carson, has been confirmed to be Hydra. Our main goal this time is to capture him, and visiting you is just a side trip."

Lainie didn't keep the secret any longer, but reached into the void, took out her holographic terminal, called up a piece of information that had been prepared long ago, and handed it to Dr. Pym.

"According to the news we intercepted from Europe not long ago, the former deputy director of SHIELD, Mitchell Carson, has been confirmed to be a member of Hydra. The series of regime subversion operations he planned were actually serving Hydra... Your previous choice was correct, Dr. Pym."

Dr. Pym took the holographic terminal and swiped the screen with his fingers trembling slightly. His expression became more solemn with every page he turned.

The information on the screen is detailed and shocking. Behind those political changes and scientific research projects that once seemed reasonable, there is actually the shadow of Hydra.

Logically, he should be laughing at this time, laughing at SHIELD for their carelessness in hiring and misusing people, laughing at them for allowing such a hidden spy to lurk into the top levels, and even almost succeeding in subverting the entire world.

But at this moment he couldn't laugh at all, because he realized that he was the one who was deceived.

Although he had insisted over the years that Mitchell Carson was not worthy of the position of deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he had never doubted Mitchell Carson's true identity.

He sighed softly and slowly placed the holographic terminal back on the table.

"I should have realized it earlier... The reason why that guy was able to sit in that position was largely because the situation at the time required a radical figure like him to advance the progress of certain matters. At the time, I just thought it was due to his ability and ambition, but I didn't expect..."

Dr. Pym shook his head in self-mockery and continued:

"I was deceived by his appearance for so long. I thought he was just stupid. I never thought that I was the stupid one all these years."

Everything was explained, why that guy was so determined to target him, and why SHIELD tried every means to obtain his technology.

It turns out that the real reason behind this is so simple. I guess Howard was also deceived by that guy...

"That guy has been trying to covet my technology for decades, and now he's looking for Darren again. Life is like a new chess game, and he's still determined to do it."

Dr. Pym took off his glasses and rubbed his sore nose.

"That's right. If your disciples reach a cooperation with Hydra, the balance of the entire world will be completely overturned."

Lainie folded her arms and her eyes fell on the action plan on the table that had long been rolled up by an ant that came from nowhere.

"Do you mind letting us join your plan? I think you are short of manpower right now."

Hearing this, Dr. Pym looked up at Lanie, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"You guys have been spying on me?"

"Of course not. This is just a clue we found while investigating the former deputy director."

Lainie smiled slyly, making it hard to guess whether her words were true or false.

Anyway, Dr. Pym doesn't believe it. He doesn't think that SHIELD can change its old ways of doing things just by changing its director.

Eavesdropping, tracking, and infiltration are just commonplace for SHIELD, with the substance remaining the same in a different form.

Didn't he himself also struggle in such an environment?

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, so no one should pretend to be a scholar from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

Dr. Pym took a deep breath and decided to temporarily put aside his prejudice against the Stark family.

"Scott, Hope, come out and meet the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
