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

Chapter 647: Provoking trouble

"No need to introduce yourself, Miss Lainie. You are a famous Avenger. How can I not know you?"

Mitchell Carson smiled at Lainie in a pretended kind manner. If the people present had not known what kind of person he was, they would probably have been deceived by his kind appearance.

"Well, we are half colleagues, isn't that right, Miss Lainie?"

"Of course, I have also heard a little about Agent Carson's 'glorious deeds' in the bureau. In particular, your 'unique' methods in handling those difficult cases are indeed impressive."

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to bring the topic to her side, Lainie naturally did not hesitate. She shook hands and greeted the other party skillfully. The professional smile on her face concealed a subtle sharpness at this moment.

But this seemingly harmonious relationship between the two seemed a little strange to Darren.

"Do you two know each other?"

"I guess so. Because of some work reasons, Miss Lainie and I have had some interactions."

Mitchell Carson explained lightly, and at the same time secretly winked at Darren, meaning that he should not say too much, as Lainie Stark did not know his identity yet.

Darren understood what was happening and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since Lainie and the others don't know the true identities of Carson and others, this meeting may not develop into a tense situation.

It’s a pity that my plan to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail is probably going to fail. If I want to make more profits, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait and see.

"Oh? Is that so?" Darren agreed while thinking in his mind.

"Well, speaking of which, Mr. Carson can be considered my predecessor. He was also a well-known figure in the bureau at that time. He had a good relationship with Mr. Howard and Director Carter at that time."

Lainie took over the conversation, her words were full of respect, and her just-right boasting made Mitchell Carson's mouth curl up slightly, and he enjoyed it very much.

But little did she know that this was just a deliberate statement made by Lainie in order to lull Mitchell Carson's vigilance.

"Those are things of the past. There's nothing to mention."

Mitchell Carson put on a humble posture, but there was a barely perceptible cunning gleam in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, Dr. Pym also worked for SHIELD at the time. Unfortunately, our philosophies later diverged, so he chose to leave SHIELD and pursue his own path."

"Oh, I didn't want my technology to be easily used by someone with ulterior motives, so I chose to do independent research. Now it seems that my decision was absolutely correct!"

Dr. Pym snorted coldly without even looking at Carson.

However, from Dr. Pym's eyes, which were slightly angry, it could be seen that his inner dissatisfaction had reached its peak at this moment.

Darren and others were not surprised by this. Darren had also heard about the conflict between Dr. Pym and Mitchell Carson, otherwise he would not have specifically sought out Carson to be the buyer.

Seeing Hank Pym's angry face at this moment, Darren would be lying if he said he was unhappy.

Darren wanted to take advantage of the conflict between Dr. Pym and S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and Stark Technology to humiliate Hank Pym and vent his resentment for being ignored and excluded for so many years.

"So what?"

Mitchell Carson chuckled, seemingly unconcerned about Dr. Pym's anger. Instead, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Pym, it seems to me that your 'stubbornness' is the stumbling block that prevents you from achieving true greatness.

Times are changing, and the power of technology is no longer limited to personal moral judgment.

Your 'Pym Particles', an invention that could have changed the world, was shelved because of your stubbornness and failed to realize its due value."

Having said that, Carson suddenly changed the subject and his gaze fell on Darren Cross again.

"But fortunately, you have trained such an outstanding disciple, and he is not as rigid as you are and is willing to see the glory of technology illuminate the whole world."

Darren Cross straightened his back proudly after hearing that, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

He enjoyed the recognition from his "teacher's old enemy" and even more enjoyed the mixed expression of resentment and unwillingness on his teacher's face at this moment. "Mr. Carson, you are too kind. My achievements are nothing in front of you."

"Don't be so modest, Dr. Cross. I know your teacher's skills. With the strength and foresight you have shown now, you have already surpassed Pym back then.

Your research is not only a technological innovation, but also a profound insight into the future world. In your hands, this technology will no longer be a bound secret, but the key to lead the change of the times. "

Mitchell Carson did not hesitate to praise Darren, and he also enjoyed the feeling of being able to humiliate and elevate his old rival's disciple in front of him.

However, despite the praise, he did not forget that there was still a problem that had not been solved, so he immediately changed the subject and went straight to the point:
"By the way, Dr. Cross, my colleagues have already agreed to the conditions you proposed earlier. We can complete the transaction at any time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed.

What Dr. Pym cares about is that Darren has indeed colluded with Carson, and is only one step away from completing the deal.

Sam and Skye secretly cursed Carson for being so cunning and treacherous that he could push forward the deal without blushing or beating his heart in such a situation, intending to take the initiative in the transaction into his own hands first.

Lainie curled her lips slightly, thinking that Mitchell Carson was really a fool. He lost his temper so quickly. She thought the old man could hold out for a few more rounds.

As for the last main person, Darren, he was also very dissatisfied at the moment, thinking, didn't I tell you a long time ago that the previous price was not enough? How could the other party still have the nerve to raise it here?
However, Darren maintained a decent smile on his face, sighed, and took the initiative to step forward to explain:

"Mr. Carson, why are you doing this?"

Since the relationship has been exposed now, Darren simply stops beating around the bush.

"But since you took the initiative to bring it up, I won't hide it in front of everyone. You just said that it was the previous price."

As a businessman, profit comes first. Therefore, Darren doesn't care what Mitchell Carson thinks of him at this moment. At worst, they can go their separate ways and he can just sell the technology to the Avengers.

"Mr. Carson, I told you before that Miss Lainie and her team are also very interested in my technology and are willing to pay a large sum of money to buy it in order to maintain world peace.

Mr. Carson, you also know that compared to my personal interests, maintaining world peace and stability is what we scientific researchers value most.

Although your conditions are tempting, I have to consider the longer-term impact.

So I had to reevaluate the value of this technology and find a home where it could really be used to its greatest benefit.”

Darren's remarks sounded high-sounding, but secretly he was putting pressure on Mitchell Carson.

He was secretly reminding him that if the Avengers like Lenny got hold of his technology, Hydra's situation in the future would probably become even more difficult.

Mitchell Carson could naturally hear the hidden meaning of Darren's words, which made his face look a little ugly, and a barely perceptible gloom flashed in his eyes.

Even Lainie, who had been silent, couldn't help but secretly admire Darren's courage.

You, Darren Cross, are really like an old lady drinking arsenic, and you are tired of living. How dare you threaten Hydra in this way?

But Lainie was happy to see this happen. After all, she came here just to see the two sides fight each other and finally break up, so that she could take the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Now the tension between them was growing, which was just what she wanted.

Lainie even planned to add fuel to the fire.

"Dr. Cross is right, Mr. Carson. We are half colleagues after all. Since we are all working for the maintenance of world peace, why don't you give this opportunity to us, SHIELD? What do you think?"

"Ah this..."

Seeing that Lainie was using S.H.I.E.L.D. as a banner to play the emotional card with him, Mitchell Carson's expression suddenly became a little stiff.

Skye, who was standing by, saw this and secretly laughed, but also stepped forward to add fuel to the fire.

"That's right, Mr. Carson, you are also an old man who has left S.H.I.E.L.D. Even though you are not in the agency now, your dedication to justice and yearning for peace must have never changed.

Handing this technology over to SHIELD will not only allow it to play the greatest positive role, protect the innocent and fight against evil, but it is also the best tribute to your hard work in SHIELD in the past!"

As for raising rice seedlings, how could a girl like Skye, who has been working in society for a long time, not be good at it?
