Chapter 972: Cooperation
Upon hearing Dr. Pymâs introduction, Scott turned his gaze away from Hopeâs attractive features. However, upon realizing the significance of the name Hank Pym, he was once again taken aback.
âHank Pym?! Youâre the founder of Pym Technologies!!â Scott exclaimed in surprise, snapping out of his trance as he gazed at Dr. Pym.
âIt appears someone in this city still recognizes me,â Dr. Pym replied with a smile, upon hearing Scottâs outburst.
âThis is my daughter, Hope. I apologize for her earlier rude behavior. I trust she wonât cause any more trouble,â Dr. Pym said, introducing Hope and offering a polite apology.
Hope was clearly displeased with her fatherâs apology, but she kept quiet. Scott, on the other hand, was extremely flattered. He had expected to confront a mysterious organization but never imagined it would be the founder of the renowned Pym Technologies. To hear an apology from him in person was truly an honor.
âOh no, itâs fine, no need to apologize!â Scott quickly replied, waving his hands. Despite the bruises around his eyes, he had no intention of pursuing the matter further after Dr. Pymâs apology.
âGood, now that everythingâs settled, letâs have a chat. Come on, letâs have a drink and take a seat,â Dr. Pym said with a smile, walking towards the small dining room next door.
Hope walked over to Dr. Pym after glancing at Scott, who finally caught up with his helmet in hand. Scott stood in place, taking a moment to compose himself after being overwhelmed with excitement.

âTake a seat, Scott. This trip shouldnât have been comfortable,â Dr. Pym said as he gestured for Scott to sit across from him as he himself was already seated.
âSorry about that, Dr. Pym. Itâs my first time taking a flight on a flying insect and I got a little nauseous,â Scott said, settling into the chair with embarrassment after throwing up in the living room.
âItâs fine, no need to worry. Just clean it up before you go,â Dr. Pym said calmly as he stirred his coffee with a small spoon.
Scott was momentarily taken aback by Dr. Pymâs nonchalance but then realized he had every right to be asked to clean up after himself. âSure, Iâll do that,â He said.
âLetâs have our coffee then. Do you want sugar?â Dr. Pym asked, putting down the spoon.
âYes, Iâll have a piece, thanks,â Scott replied, trying to appear relaxed despite the awkwardness.
âNever mind, Iâll pass on the sugar,â Scott said as he watched the two ants move a sugar cube toward him on the table. He was captivated by their behavior and the strange experience of riding on the flying insects.

âHow did you do it?â Scott asked, turning to Dr. Pym who was sipping his tea.
âDo what?â Dr. Pym asked, looking up at Scott.
âHow do you control these ants and the flying insects?â Scott asked with genuine curiosity, pointing to the ants on the table.
âItâs quite simple, actually. I use this brainwave device to emit electromagnetic waves that stimulate their nervous system, allowing me to control their behavior,â Dr. Pym explained, gesturing to a device in his ear that resembled a hearing aid. He was open about his methods and technology.
âWhat an amazing technology!â Scott couldnât help but sigh with emotion at Dr. Pymâs answer.
Being a masterâs degree holder in electrical engineering, Scott couldnât even fathom the level of advancement in this technology. He felt that he still had a long way to go.
âThis is just the tip of the iceberg,â Dr. Pym said with a smile, noticing Scottâs surprised expression. âWhat about the Ant-Man suit? Thatâs a pretty miraculous thing, isnât it?â he added, reminding Scott of the suit that allowed people to shrink to the size of ants.
âThatâs the Ant-Man suit I designed to work with Pym Particles. When you wear it, you wonât experience any tearing while shrinking or growing,â Dr. Pym explained, nodding and speaking with a casual tone.
âPym Particles?! Thatâs incredible!â Scott couldnât help but be amazed by everything he had learned in the last few minutes. The information he had learned was more exciting than anything he had experienced in his life.
âNow that youâve agreed to work with me, let me explain the details of our collaboration. As you know, I am the founder of Pym Technology. Do you know who currently runs the company?â Dr. Pym continued.
âDarren Cross, also a brilliant mind,â Scott replied.
âHa, heâs just one of my former pupils,â Dr. Pym chuckled.
During the conversation, Dr. Pym informed Scott about Darren Crossâ intentions to create his own Ant-Man suit and his ambitions.
Dr. Pym also explained that their plan was to stop Darren Cross and prevent him from completing his experiment by stealing the Ant-Man suit. Given Scottâs background as a thief, he was considered the ideal candidate for the job.
âSo, do you understand why I asked you to cooperate? As long as our plan is successful, you would be able to save the world.â Dr. Pym finally explained the situation to Scott.
âSpeaking of which, this Darren Ross is indeed a genius. He developed the Pym Particle and the Antman suit without your help.â Hearing what Dr. Pym said, Scott first praised Darren Ross.
âOf course, if he really intends to use the Antman Suit to participate in the war, of course, I am willing to stop him with you. However, shouldnât the Avengers be notified of this kind of thing first? They should be professional at this?â Scott proposed, with some hesitation, to notify the Avengers.
âOh! I established Pym Technology solely to keep my technology from ending up in Starkâs hands, and collaborating with the Avengers is out of the question now.â Dr. Pym stated firmly with a stern expression, in response to Scottâs proposal.
After the creation of the PymParticle, Dr. Pym resigned from his position at SHIELD due to conflicts with others, despite previously working alongside Howard Stark.
As a result, Dr. Pym is not open to cooperation with Tony Stark, the son of Howard Stark, despite the passing of decades. The relationship between Tony Stark and SHIELD remains unclear so he doesnât want to include them.
